French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau, who arrived six minutes after Dulles, told newsmen he believed Wednesday's conference of 18 nations "will lead to a creation of an association of canal users" despite the unexpectedly critical reaction from the Big Three's allies.
Pineau mentioned the possibility of taking the problem to the United Nations, but said this would depend on Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who already has rejected the plan and branded it an "association for war."
The plan calls for setting up an association with its own pilots which would collect fees for passage through the canal. Pineau said he

thought a "certain number" of the European pilots who resigned would return to work for the canal users association.
Should Egypt refuse passage, the association would be expected to lay the case before the U. N. Security Council, charging Egypt with violating the 1888 treaty guaranteeing free passage to ships of all nations.

Mr. and Mrs. Riley L. Hamisfar have petitioned Senator George Bender (R.O.) and Rep. A. David Baumhart (R.O.) to help obtain their son's release.

Surgeons found a bruise spot on the recruit's abdomen when they operated on him Aug. 28 for a groin hernia. They said a blow could have aggravated the congenital condition.

FBI Hunts Man In Riesel Attack
NEW YORK — (UP) — The FBI hunted the nation today for an "extremely dangerous" former bodyguard of rackets ozar Johnny Dio, accused mastermind of the Victor Riesel acid blinding attack.
Target of the search was Theodore Rij, 43, suspected of driving a car used in the attack on Riesel last April 5 near Times Square.
The heavyset hoodium, with arrests for draft dodging and felonious assault, disappeared from his usual Lower East Side haunts soon after the July 28 murder of Abraham Telvi, named by the FBI as the actual acid-thrower.
A terse announcement by FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover in Washington Monday revealed that Rijs had been named in a secret complaint before a U. S. commissioner in New York Sept. 11.
Dio and the other accused conspirators were ordered yesterday to stand trial Oct. 15. Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan, in setting the trial date for the seven men, refused to reduce Dio's $100,000 bail because of his record "as a convicted felon and the seriousness of these charges."
Rij, like Dio and six other known garment district figures under arrest, was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice "by causing an assault to be made on Victor Riesel."
Some 200,000 wanted notices have been circulated by the FBI for Rij throughout the country.

McKeon Trial Being Studied
WASHINGTON—(UP) — Navy Secretary Charles S. Thomas made clear today he would spend a long time studying the court martial record of Marine Staff Sgt. Matthew McKeon before taking final action.
The Navy announced last night that the court martial record had reached Thomas' desk after being reviewed by the judge advocate general, Rear Adm. Chester C. Ward.
McKeon was convicted of negligent homicide in connection with the deaths of six recruits during a night disciplinary march at the Parris Island, S. C. Marine boot training camp.
The court martial sentenced him Aug. 4 to nine months at hard labor, a bad conduct discharge, forfeiture of $20 a month from his pay for nine months and reduction in rank to private.
The Navy said the office of the judge advocate general had completed its review of the court martial record and submitted its opinions to Thomas. It considered the adequacy of the evidence and the presence or absence of any legal errors.
"Secretary Thomas is giving the record long and conscientious study and it is anticipated that no final action will be taken by him for a considerable length of time," the Navy said. "The record is over 1,000 pages long and contains over 400 pages of exhibits."
The record went to Thomas since he convened the court martial in the first place.
