Eisenhower to Attend Top-Level
NATO Conference in Paris
WASHINGTON, Ufi—President
Eisenhower probably will go to
Paris next month for a confer
ence, but the French ambassador
said Saturday no final decision
will be made until all NATO gov
ernments are heard from.
Herve Alphand, the French am
basasdor, talked to newsmen after
a conference at the State Depart
ment.
He appeared to be stating the
precise state of diplomatic nego
tiations following Friday’s indica
tions from Washington that the
President and British Prime Min

skins sold for the government at

There were 28,782 skins auc

for $1,983,208. Last April 27,819
.skins sold for $2,547,182. A year
ego 26,890 skins brought $2,714,
852.
The skins sold for the govern
ment were from the Pribilof Is
lands of Alaska.
Millan would be present. The ses
sion is scheduled for Dec. 16-17.
Canadian Prime Minister John
Diefenbaker already has said he
will attend the NATO conference.
And, altho there was no formal
announcement, an informant in
Bonn said West German Chancel
lor Konrad Adenauer would also
attend.
The three-day talks of Eisen
hower and MacMillan, Alphand
said, “appear to the French gov
ernment as very satisfactory and
as developing the right approach
to the problems we are facing in
the free world.
