16. 4P- American diplomats worked behind the scenes today in Washington, New York, Paris and Tunis in an all-out effort to avoid a showdown between France and Tunisia in the United Nations Security Council. Weather permitting, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles will interrupt his Atlantic City, N. vacation Monday morning to fly to Washington to take personal command of the urgent U. S.

effort. DULLES ALSO was expected to confer by telephone Monday with Present Eisenhower who is vaca- tioning at Thomasville, Ga. Officials said the U.S. aim was to get France and Tunisia into a negotiating mood and thereby avoid an acrimonious Security Council debate which would provide fodder for the Communist propaganda machine. It also was feared here that such a debate, in which both France and its former colony would be trying to woo world opinion by dredging up charges against the other, would make an eventual settlement even more difficult.

ADMINISTRATION officials were encouraged by separate French and Tunisian moves which held some prospect of easing bitter tension which flared when the French bombed a Tunisian village on the border of revolt-torn Algeria. Foreign aid chief James H. Smith said, meanwhile, that if any U. S. donated planes were misused in the raid they should be withdrawn.

Senator Hubert HumDemocrat, Minnesota, has Clarened some of the planes were given to France for NATO purposes only. "I WOULD BE very much concerned if any military weapons were used for purposes not specified in the mutual security agreement," Smith said. But he emphasized he did not know if any planes were misused. Reports received from Paris by the State Department provided the first official that France was willing to accept outside assistance in settling the dispute. However, the French government specifically ruled out arbitration.

air base building in Spain is not militarily justified. "There is a strong military requirement for each these bases." the Air Force said, "and they may reasonably be said to meet minimum requirements." THE PENTAGON statement stemmed from newsmen's inquiries about a General Accounting Office report to House Speaker Rayburn and Vice President Nixon, as president of the Senate, on the nearly completed. $500,000,000 program for air base construction in Spain. The Air Force said its Spanish setup now includes only four bases although nine were originally planned. ACCORDING TO the Jan.

31 watchdog GAO report, construction itself was proceding satisfactorily. But it said the Torrejon base site near Madrid was chosen mainly because Spanish officials wanted an air defense station near their capital and a "show place" for jet fighters. At San Pablo, the GAO said, base construction was continued when there was "no operational need" for the facilities because stopping the work. "would have had an adverse effect on SpanishAmerican relations." It figured this cost U. S.

taxpayers nearly six million dollars. THE AIR FORCE, after studying the GAO findings, said the Torrejon base "is satisfactory from a military point of view and benefits excellent community support from Madrid." As for San Pablo, it said the construction "provdies for increasing both our striking and our emergency recovery capability." The Spanish base situation has figured in congressional talk about foreign aid.

Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, former NATO commander, today criticized what he called the "fidgety" reaction in this country to the Russian Sputnik launchings. But he said Americans are now properly supporting congressional moves for a bigger military effort. He asked for support too of economic and psychological measures in the cold war.

Gruenther, now head of the American Red Cross, spoke in a television program with Representative Ostertag. Republican, New York. WASHINGTON, Feb. first congressmen ever to see the South Pole recommended today the United States maintain its stations there, lest the Soviets take it over. The recommendation came in a report by a six-man subcommittee of the House commerce committee.

On an inspection of International Geophysical Year establishments, they flew over both poles and went ashore in Antarctica. THE COMMITTEMEN said the six scientific stations United States has established in the far south-including Zealand -should conjunction with New be continued. though perhaps the location of some should be changed. 'The subcommittee said the United States was the first country to establish a station at the South Pole. It continued, "We are of the opinion that we should stay there.

We are convinced that were this station to be abandoned by us, the Russians would take it over." THE DECISION must be made soon, before the southern Winter sets in, the report said. The subcommittee said also it is time to think again about the traditional U. S. position to make no territorial claims in Antarctica and to recognize DO other country's claims. Various proposals are pending in Congress to stake a U.

S. claim in the southern continent. A permanent international regime also has been proposed. Months Not Years to become: qualified for thetype of office position you desire. Day and Evening Classes!
