Mr. Eisenhower and Mollet conferred in the Presidents office at the White House shortly after another visiting French officials.

Foreign Minister Christian Pineau, began conferences with I Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Mollet pledged on his arrival Monday that we are going to put our hearts, our minds and our full strength to achieving the peaceful and just purposes that are mon to our two republics. Sues Invasion Harmful Relations between the United States and France hit a postwar low last fall when France and Britain invaded Egypt without first conferring with this government The invasion strained badly the formerly close ties among the Big Three western allies. Only recently, after the British-French withdrawal from Egypt did Air. Eisenhower agree to meet with Mollet and the new British prime minister, Harold Macmil-latf. The President will confer with Macmillan in a separate meeting in British Bermuda March 21-24.

The purpose of these two meetings is to get Big Three confidence back on the tracks, one official aid. Sauctlona Pose Problem Despite efforts to restore former good relations, France" and the United States are split on the' question of sanctions against Israel. This could be a ticklish point -in the Eisenhower, Mollet talks' unless Israel soon agrees to withdraw her forces from Egypt. The Eisenhower administration has indicated it will go along with some form of United Nations sanc-4 tions if they are voted. France has said flatly it wont.

Reports from Paris said Mollet will try to get Mr. Eisenhower to see the Israeli viewpoint and modify the U.S. position. The French ambassador to this country, Herve Alphand, said Monday night it would not be fair to impose sanctions on Israel alone" and there should be an equal standard for all U.N. members.

WASHINGTON (Special) The Federal Communications Commission today approved the transfer of channel 8 from Peoria to the Quad-Cities, giving this area its third very high frequency TV channel. The move also designates Peoria as an all-UHF (ultra high frequency) city. At present, two VHF stations are telecasting in the Quad-Cities, WHBF-TV on channel 4 and WOC-TV on channel 6. Peoria has UHF stations on the air on channels 19 and 43. Todays FCC action undoubtedly will bring on a rush of applications for the newly assigned channel 8 frequency in the Quad-Cities.

Chances of a third station starting operation within a year are slight because of the tie-up which will be caused by the number of applications. Extensive hearings will be ordered before assignment of channel 8 operation. Three applications have been reported.
