from a special correspondent The French National Union of Students decided on Sunday to withdraw from the western-dominated International Students Conference (I.S.C.) because of what it called the scandal of American Central Intelligence Agency subsidies. Disclosures that the C.I.A. had secretly financed student, labour, cultural and other organisations participating in international activities for the past 15 years, raised a storm of protest in the United States and overseas earlier this year. AU.S. Senate commission also revealed that several organisations contributing funds to the I.5.C. were themselves heavily financed by the C.I.A. The French union was one of 20 national students’ unions which founded the I.S.C, in Stockholm in 1950 as a rival to the International Union of Students (T.0.3.) It later rejoined the I.U.S. while maintaining ties with the newer international body. Before the withdrawal of the French union,the I.S.C. had 46 member unions and the I.U.S. 96.
