(AP Wirephoto) Bonn Rules Out Deals With Russ Friendship With West Won't Be Sacrificed EONN, Germany, Dec.

1 UP) Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano pledged Thursday the Germans will never sacrifice their freedom and friendship with the west in a deal with Russia. In a speech before the Bundestag (Lower House), he served notice, also, that the Germans will not passively e.ccept the uncompromising Russian "no" to German reunification. The Adenauer government "knows very well that the fate of the German people would be sealed if it tried to exchange the confidence and friendship of its allies for the sympathy of the Soviet Union," he declared. "Xor will the German people, I am convinced, be induced by any threat or temptation to veer from this straight course," Von Brentano added, "The German people are not prepared to strike any deal jeopardizing their freedom." He said that in making such a deal Germany "would not only betray her own future but also violate the freedom of other na- n-HST Biveir's Takes 9 Hours Navy Man Becomes Entangled With Sunken Anchor 120 Feet Under.

LOUIS, Dec. 1 W) Theron Lamar Caudle, who tional Assembly flouted party policy. ine move will make no change in the dissolution procedure, nor will jt require Faure to give up his place as premier.

In the forthcoming election for which no date has yet been set Faure will be able to run- under the same party label as he did in 1951. At that time he was listed as a member of the Rally of the Republican Left (RGR), a loose alliance of Radical Socialists (who actually are moderates) and smaller parties. Faure is president of the RGIt and its leaders are resisting efforts of the Radical Socialists, under the leadership of ex-Premier Pierre Mendes-France, to dictate its policies. The formal decree dissolving the assembly was signed by President Rene Coty and will be published Friday in the official bulletin. Since the constitution prescribes that the voting must be held within 20 to 30 days after publication of the decree, this would appear to mean that the elections will come during the holiday season.

Government sources said, however, the cabinet will consult the Council of State, sitting as a judicial body, to determine if the voting can be put over until Jan. 8. Faure's ouster was announced in a communique issued after a meeting of the Radical Socialist steering committee. Accusing him of "persistent indiscipline," it charged Faure had led "the maneuvers destined to provoke slapdash elections with an obscure and unpopular election system." Mendes-France lias been warring openly with Faure since the Premier recently proposed holding general elections in December instead of waiting until the assembly's regular five-year term expires next mid-year. Opposition to this proposal led to Faure's defeat on an assembly vote of confidence Tuesday night.

But instead of resigning, as is customary, the Premier's cabinet decided to order dissolution of the assembly and force its members to seek re-election. Mendes-France opposed the early voting plan because he wanted more time to 'prepare his party for the campaign. Heavy Shooting Is Reported On Gaza Strip JERUSALEM, Dec. 1 Heavy shooting developed on the Gaza frontier Thursday, Egyptian and Israeli troops exchanged fire in the Kissufim area in a battle lasting until nightfall. Each side blamed the other.

Israeli officials said Egyptian troops within the Gaza strip started it by opening up on Israeli outposts. The time of the outbreak was not specified. In Cairo, an Egyptian spokesman said the Israelis began the fight by blasting at two Egyptian posts near Deir el Balah, south of Gaza town, with mortars and automatic weapons. MRS. J.

Tallarico's snarled lines from a sunker anchor attached to a dummy mine and he was hoisted slowly to the surface. Tallarico, whose chief com plaint during the long rescue operation was that "it's cold as hell down here," was placed in a decompression chamber at the Navy's diving school here to ward off the "bends." Although he appeared limp when hoisted aboard a 40-foot diving launch and stripped of his heavy gear, Tallarico soon sat up and smiled.

Shortly after he was placed in the decompression chamber, reporters, peeking through a porthole, observed him sipping hot coffee and talking with a doctor.

"I'm sure glad he's all Mrs. Tallarico said she was unaware of the potential seriousness of her husband's plight until after he was brought to the surface.

Boatswains Mate Gerald Church of Messick, who directed the rescue, said Tallarico was "conscious all the time I talked to him all the time over the phone." Church told reporters that Tallarico descended into the river at 10:20 a.m. to recover a test mine more than a hundred feet below the surface. The scene was a quarter mile off Point Patient, about 70 miles southeast of Washington, D. C. "I got a call at 12:15 for divers to help in the rescue," Church said.

"We brought him to the surface still tangled up with the mine. We gave him part of his decompression time in the water. "We brought him up the last 30 feet sooner than we ordinarily would due to the extreme cold and exposure." As the afternoon wore on he complained more and more of the cold and said he couldnt stand it much longer. "But he didn't get panicky, not Joe," Church said.

On S-D Day in 1934 on Dec. 15 31 persons were killed, in traffic mishaps. The President's committee promoted S-D Day to dramatize the idea that careful driving and walking can save lives.

Pima County Escapes Fatalities Death Lurks But Does Not Strike On Roads By DEAN PRICHARD The shadow of death stalked Pima County yesterday during Safe Driving Day but did not strike.

Driving here was hazardous on the much-publicized day of safety: There were 16 traffic accidents. Six persons went to hospitals, four of them with severe injuries. S-D Day last year recorded but 11 minor traffic accidents. No injuries. Safe Driving Day this year was about the same as any other day.

Take Wednesday, the day before: 17 accidents, seven injured. S-D Day had just one less of each. And Wednesday was a day of more-than-usual accidents and injuries which makes Thursday S-D Day even more of a flop. The shadow of death hanging over Pima County is manifest in the all-time slaughter record etched in blood, steel and dirt See Traffic Box Score, Page IB here this year 62 persons dead. Last year was the former record holder of the tombstone trophy 9 dead.

The names of the last human beings to became traffic death statistics will be tacked onto the 62 row dead within this month.

Most of that water wound up in the Gulf of Mexico, he added. The commissioner expressed optimism for next year. He said the Rocky Mountain snow pack appears to be better this year.

George Meany, one-time New York plumber who heads the AFL, is due to become president of the merged AFL-CIO. He pledged In a speech to AFL convention delegates that the new organization would be devoted to improving the lot of workers in the nation as a whole. CIO President Walter Reuther told a separate CIO convention, meanwhile, that his organization during its brief history has helped win "a full measure of human dignity for the worker." The AFL voting on the merger itself was unanimous but there was one negative vote cast in an accompanying ballot on the merger constitution. Peter Yablonski, delegate representing the painters union from Newark, N.J., asked to be recorded against the constitution. He has been critical of the merger plan.

Dibrova, on Tuesday, to protest against "the unwarranted detention in the Soviet sector of Berlin of an American military vehicle of the Berlin command, and its occupants, including two members of the Congress of the United States of America."
