PARIS (A-- The French government was believed taking steps today to ease Sultan Mohammed Ben Moulay Arafa off the Moroc- I can throne. The embattled ruler issued another statement saying God would have to remove him. Premier Edgar Faure's plan for giving Morocco a measure Of self- rule was approved unanimously by the French Cabinet last night. It reportedly calls for removal of Moulay Arafa and establishment of a three-man regency.

A spokesman said the program would be put into effect immediately. Morocco was generally quiet. Moderate nationalist leaders urged their followers to be patient, saying at least a partial victory was at hand. Terrorists had called for a general strike but response was slight. The ouster of Moulay Arafa was the primary condition laid down by Moroccan nationalists for any settlement in the stormy North African protectorate.

French officials gave no indication of how they expected to get the Sultan out of the palace in Rabat. Shortly after the Cabinet agreement was announced, spokesmen for Moulay Arafa said in Rabat: "In these circumstances, His Majesty once more has solemnly affirmed his determination to remain on the throne until God decides otherwise." Pierre July, minister for Tunisian and Moroccan affairs, announced the Cabinet approval after a meeting. Despite the reported unanimous agreement, it was known the Faure- proposals drew sharp criticism right-wing ministers. Observers anticipated possible trouble from conservative elements when the i A fcnrrtilt. nevt month.

In addition to the removal of Moulay Arafa and the establishment of a regency, the Faure program provides for: 1. Appointment of a new Moroccan government repiesenling the main political movements in the protectorate. 2.

Iff) One of the biggest jobs of conservationists, one of them said today, is convincing landowners of the importance of water conservation. "Farmers will not lie awake at night," said L.

S. Hartley, "worrying about whether Hagerstown or Washington or any other large city has an adequate supply of drinking water or whether factories in those communities have sufficient water for industrial use." Hartley, manager of agriculture development for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, made the comments in an address to a conference called by the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin. The Hagerstown Chamber of Commerce was a co-sponsor of the two-day ended today with a luncheon at which Rep. Dewitt Hyde (R-Md) was the Hartley said that, since practically all water which falls on Potomac River Basin falls on pri- i vatcly owned land, conservationists must first sell these landowners on the importance of water conservation. They will respond if it is explained to them that water on their land is like money in the bank, he added.

For instance, said Hartley, the loss of top soil on farmland was the biggest single loss in the recent New England floods. Through proper conservation methods, the conference was told, more water is stored in the soil itself, helping to carry the farmer through periods of drought. Besides enabling the land to withstand dry spells longer, conservation also can be used to assure the 'farmer of enough water for livestock in a pinch, Hartley said. The conference attracted about CIA Offered Building Site At Germantowii Intelligence Agency Could Locate Near AEC Headquarters WASHINGTON Central Intelligence Agency has been offered a 50-acre building site near Germantown, adjacent to a tract acquired by the Atomic Energy Commission for a new headquarters. The offer was made by the Silver Spring, real estate firm of Sterling Scull, Inc.

in a letter to Allan Dulles, head of the intelligence agency. David Scull, treasurer of the firm, in another letter to the Montgomery County Council urged that it invite the CIA to locate proposed new headquarters "somewhere in Montgomery County." Scull wrote to Dulles that his firm had options on 92 acres immediately adjoining the AEC site and would sell 50 acres to CIA for a negotiated figure "from one dollar up." He said that if the land his firm would retain under the proposal could be linked to roadways and sewer and water lines expected to be built for the AEC center, toe land could be provided for a "token" payment. "Many of the high calibre people employed by CIA are Montgomery County residents and such a development would bring additional outstanding citizens to our community to further contribute to the growth and prosperity of this great country," Scull "said. and conservation leaders from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.

Perishables Rot As Dock Strike Opens Walkout Estimated To Cost Million Daily In New York Alone; Other Ports Idle NEW YORK The teeming activity of Atlantic Coast ports stilled today in support of New York's defiant longshoremen. The cost of the stoppages mounted swiftly and was estimated at a million dollars daily in the vast port of New York alone. Perishables rotted on piers -while dockers here carried their fight against authority into its seventh day. Their action is aimed not at employers but at the Waterfront Commission created by New York and New Jersey to police the piers. Overland carriers moved to embargo consignments for abroad headed here.

Detroit's Chamber of Commerce, warning of costly prospective delays along the East Coast, urged Michigan manufacturers to use that city's shipping facilities. The State Trucking Assn. advised 1,500 members to halt export ship, ments into New York, and the Assn. of American Railroads was to decide today on a possible similar move. The general strike of longshoremen in all ports on the East and Gulf Coasts was ordered yesterday by the International Longshoremen's Assn.

(Ind). The union claims 100,000 members. Most of the important shipping centers obeyed, but there were few signs of rebellion. A longshore leader in Halifax, N.S., said there would be no walkout there, an'd added he would like to see more autonomy for Canadian longshoremen within the 1LA. But he pointed out Canadian labor works under entirely different laws.

Far to the south, union leaders in Houston, met yesterday to discuss the "Immediate" stop- work order, adjourned without announcing any decision and reconvened their meeting today. Work on the docks continued. In Alabama. Mobile pier work- uu me juu tutb UlUA'fUUg. But from Portland, to Miami.
