desperate move to smash angry mobs rioting in streets red with blood. Eyewitness reports, which were unconfirmed officially, set the death toll for four days of ter rorism as high as 200. Police, how ever, said there were no accurate figures. They placed the dead at "less than 50." At least 125 per. sons have been wounded.

The French government, fearful of the effects the race-riots may have on Premier Edgar Faure's position at the Big Four Geneva conference, brought in 260 fresh gendarmes aboard 11 transport planes. The new troops strengthened government forces around the city's old native quarter where tanks backed up Foreign Legion naires, Negro riflemen and federal police attempting to enforce martial law. The tank-supported units used machineguns and 37-mm. cannon Sunday against a grenade-hurling Moroccan mob looting and pillaging Jewish shops in the Arab quarter. Police reports said at least 7 natives were killed and 15 wounded in the clash.

Earlier the rioters stoned a Spaniard to death. The native quarter has been one of the major scenes of bloody con flict since the current wave of ter rorism broke in this city of 700,000 inhabitants last Thursday. Angry Europeans have invaded the quarter seeking revenge for the bombing deaths of six Frenchmen which touched off the rioting during Bastille Day celebrations. Howard Riles In Selma, Ala.

Associated Frrn Washington, July 18 Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala) predicted to day the Democrats will win next year presidential election with an upsurge of strength in the Midwest, New York and Cali fornia.

Sparkman, the party's 1952 vice presidential candidate, said his travels have convinced him President Eisenhower's reputed popu larity is not as great as Republicans contend. "We can win next year's election if we put the kind of effort into the campaign that we should, he said. "It will be a different story fr.om 1952. I don't think President Eisenhower could carry a Southern state as of today." Sparkman said he expects Adlai Stevenson to announce this fall that he will seek the Democratic nomination again. Sparkman said his optimism for 1956 is based primarily on what he called "dissatisfaction" in Midwest farm areas, the likely return of Dixie states to the Democratic column and a trend toward the Democrats in governor elections.

Since 1952 the Democrats have taken governorships away from the GOP in nine states. DEATHS ELSEWHERE Wilton, Conn. iff Lauranee O. Woodford, 66, retired Ameri can Telephone Telegraph Co. executive.
