1. Dress Correctly for the even
ing's date plans. A sweater Is okay
for bowling, skating, or a hike and
picnic. But any other doings- mov-
les, soda snacks, etc.-call for q
sports coat, shirt and tie. An In
formal dance means a sports coat
or a suit. For formal dance a
dark suit is correct with white
shirt. OF course, in the summer
when the dance halls are steamy,
exceptions are made by most girls.
2. Let your date know exactly
what's planned for the evening, SO
she can dress accordingly. No girl

you don't want to make habit Of

"how about date Saturday." Be
specific so she viii know exactly
what she's accepting or refusing.
5. Don't expect q goodnight kiss
on the first date and don't insist
on kisses at any time. A first
date kiss means q girl thinks you
don't care whom you kiss because
you don't know her very well. If
she seems disinclined towards q
kiss, be smooth and skip it.

American Restriction
On Red Travel Denied
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, July 23-Maj. Gen
George P. Hays, deputy American
military governor, said today the
American Military Government has
placed no one-sided restrictions on
Soviet travel in the American zone
of Germany.
Gen. Hays was discussing a report
quoting Marshal VASTLY d. Sokolov-
sky as saying the Russian blockade
Of Berlin would be lifted If the
Western powers stopped insisting
that Russians must have special
passes for travel in the Western
zones. The Russians always have
required special Soviet passes fol
travel into the Soviet zone.
1T has always been the Unitec
States desire to provide for maxi.
mum freedom of movement inter.
zonally throughout Germany" Gen
Hays said. He explained, however
that about two months ago the Rus
slams ordered that the American
liaison section in the Soviet zone
could leave that zone only at Helm
stedt. Later the Americans applied
the same rule to the Soviet liaisor
mission in the American zone.

PAWLING, N. Y, 23.-Gov

Gen. Eisenhower, president of Co.

at Gov. Dewey's request. They dis
cussed European affairs and our
military establishment" an aide of
Gov. Dewey said.
The visit of the World War II AL

and John Foster Dulles to discuss
the foreign situation in general and
the Berlin crisis in detail.

Gen. and Mrs. Eisenhower mo-
tored from New York City this

Gov. and Mrs. Dewey and were tc

1t was understood that Gov
Dewey sought the generals views
particularly on the Central Euro

had been discussed as a possible

Democrats. He made clear, how
ever, that he would accept neither

Foreign Relations Committee, and

Gov. Dewey has called news
conference for tomorrow night at
his farm here. This has led to
speculation that he might issue a
statement giving the Republican po-

Favers Binsrtisan Stand.
Although Gov. Dewey has not said
specifically that he is cooperating
with the Truman administration, or
has promised to, in the handling
of the Berlin crisis, he has left the
impression with reporters that BIZ
partisan approach to the problem is
essential if a successful solution is
to be found.
However, any Dewey statement
indorsing measures contemplated by
the White House to end the Russian
actions in the former German cap
ital is not expected to include ap-
proval of the Truman administra-
tion's past handling of the German
problem.
Gov. Dewey and his advisers are
known to feel that a good deal of
the current difficulty can be traced
back to concessions which they
claim President Truman made to
the Russians at the Potsdam con-
ference without prior consultation
with the Republican leadership.
