Specialists Needed
BY-U. n, Cohen Says

The administrative structure Of
the United Nations is not yet fully
stabilized because very few of the
highest type of specialists are avail
able and the governments do not
relinquish their services very easily,
Benjamin Cohen, assistant u. N.
secretary general in charge of pub
lie information. asserted last night.
Mr.. Cohen spoke at American
University before receiving an hon.
orary degree of doctor of laws.
The need for leaders In public
administration is particularly no.
ticeable when an attempt is made
to establish administrative plans for
work In the international field" Mr..
Cohen declared.
THE result Of the scarcity of
this particular type of professional
worker placed the principal burden

her husband, former Army Mai.
George Jacob Jillson, be Jailed for

Boys Club Purchase
OF Plot Hits Snag on
zoning for Entrance

The Boys Club of Washington has
struck a snag in purchasing a prop
erty in the rear of 1908 Wisconsin
avenue and adjacent to Dumbarton
Oaks for new Georgetown branch.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment
yesterday told club officials at a
hearing covering 26 coming change
appeals from all over the city it
favored locating the club on the 21a-
acre tract in question but did not
think the entrance to the club should
be put in the 1900 block of S street
NV. as proposed.
Rehearing Offered.
The board decided. however. that
If the club finds 1t is unable to OBJ
tain right-of-way to enter the
property from Wisconsin avenue, 1t
may come back for a rehearing.
The coming boards position that
the club entrance should not be on
S street came after a group of home
owners, led by S. Percy Thompson,
3247 r street NV, protested that
an S street entrance would bring too
much noise into the nearby resi-
dental area,
The club now has its Georgetown
branch at Pennsylvania avenue and
M street NV. It has raised SIS, 900
to buy the new property and can
count on Community Chest and pri-
vate support to raise the $4,000
needed to build the new clubhouse.
The move has been Endorsed by
the Council of Social Agencies,
Georgetown citizens groups and the
principal Of Gordon Junior High
School, as we'll as Georgetown bust
ness and residential interests.
Enlarged Tower Denied.
In another case, affecting the
Woodward Il Lothrop department
store. the board said it does not have
authority to allow the firm to en-
large the water tower on top Of It's
main store at Eleventh and r streets
NV.
The tower exceeds the height per-
mitted by present coming laws, since
it was built before they were en-
acted.
The board said 1t has no objection
to enlargement Of the tower but feels
it wsuld set dangerous precedent
that might lead to a flood Of other
requests for waivers Of the coming
rules. Instead the board will ask
the Zoning Commission to take &C.
ton or delegate sufficient power to
the board to act.

OF planning upon experts Of a

Mr.. Cohen paid tribute to Amer

of this country's administrative
principles and practices"
Earlier In the day, he was honor
guest at a luncheon for the diplo-
matte corps given in the Carlton

Guppies Offered
Instead of Cigars
By Proud Father

The proprietor Of a tropical fish
store was so happy at becoming the
father of baby boy that he gave
away about $50 Trinidad guppies to
his customers yesterday instead Of
the traditional cigars.
Bud K. Greenlun, 30. who runs
the store at 1908 Twelfth street
NE, figured that as long as Gus
toners raise fish, they would rather
have the guppies anyway than the
stogtes.

Of S2,400 for Teachers

The American Veterans Commit

Chat Paterson, AVG national

Other points of the AVG educa-

;orely needed in the war-devastated

sorely needed in the war-devastated
u. S. S. r.
One swallow does not make summer,
of course. The Kremlins new mood in
relation to Austria may be more apparent
than real, and 1t ought therefore to be
greeted with the greatest reserve. Never
theless since the Soviet policy of non
collaboration can act as two-edged
sword-against Russia as well as the west
there may be at least the bare posi-
bility that the fourteen-man Politiburo in
Moscow is going through sober second
thoughts and suffering some heartburn
over Mr.. Molotov's handiwork at London
In that case, given a united front by
France, Britain and the United States,
perhaps the world may hope for this:
That the Stain government, finding it
has overreached itself, may gradually begin
to pull in it's horns and move step by
step-no matter how straightforward
new policy of cooperation. That is some
thing not likely to happen, however, unless
we and the free western powers 60 all-out
in the drive to restore independent Europe
to economic and political health.
Evening star., 1947-12-23
Second Thoughts in Moscow?

It is interesting, If not Slgnlncant, tnat
the Soviet Union has adopted seemingly
conciliatory attitude at the first meeting
to be held by the Foreign Ministers
deputies since the breakup of the Big Four
Conference in London. The change re-
wolves around Austria. Heretofore
through Mr. Molotov-the Kremlin has in
sisted upon a wholly unreasonable repara-
tions definition of German assets IN that
country but now-through Mr. Molotov's
deputy-it appears to have taken a line
making compromise possible.
According to reports from London, the
new Soviet attitude suggests willingness
to 20 along with a French proposal to
reduce Russian demands for oil explora-
ton and production rights in Eastern
Austria and to suspend haggling over the
definition of German assets. Mr.. Molotov's
past position on these points has been so
unyielding that all progress toward an
Austrian peace settlement has been
blocked. His deputy, however, now has
bent a little, and If that means that the
Krernlin is preparing to make genuine
concessions, then a treaty may conceiv-
ably be agreed upon in the relatively near
future.
At any rate, it is certainly fact that
there can be no Austrian settlement on
the basis of the terms laid down SO tar
by Mr.. Molotov. Leaving aside technical
details those terms would define German
assets in Austria in a way sweeping
enough to rob the country of its inde-
pendence by giving the Russians doml-
nant and permanent voice in the control
of it's economy. France, Britain and the
United States-for reasons that are OBJ
yious and completely justifled-have made
clear that they are so opposed to such
an arrangement that the Kremlin, since
1t cannot hope to persuade them other
wise, has good reason to try new and
more conciliatory approach.
The Russians, after all, though they
forced the failure of the London Confer
ence, cannot be too happy about the re-
sulting prospect. They have reached Tor
the moon in seeking grip on the Aus
trian economy and demanding vast, repa-
rations in the form of current production
from Germany. Instead of getting either,
however, they have merely driven France,
Britain and the United States closer to-
gether toward a greater integratlon OF
western economic and political power.
Such integration. especially of the Anglo
French American industrial zones, can
hurt the Soviet Union to the extent that
the latter, if it adheres to its rule-or-ruin
obstructionism, is likely to find itself cut
of from the areas output of machinery
ana manufactured goods-an output
