Give Parents a Chance
To Know Your Friends;
They'll Like Them. Too
Bx NANCY -MOTTRAM

(Q) Dear Nancy: My
parents never miss a
chance to criticize my
friends. They don't like
some of them, but I'm
warned about seeing too
much of any one girl of
boy all the time, l think
my friends are swell fel-
lows and girls, otherwise l
wouldn't want to go around
with them. How can l con-
vince Mother and Dad of
that? That's my biggest
problem"
(A) Their reason could be
that they want you to have lots
of friends, not just one or two
best" ones. The same goes for
any lad who occupies most of
your time-they don't want you
to be too fond of him at your
age, nor do they want you to I've
hurt or left without dates when
and if you and the steady man
of the hour end it all. But they
can't have any basic dislike of
your buddies if they don't know
them well. Try asking them to
the house, and give your par
ents a chance to say more than
hello, before you all dash out.
You know them and like them.
Once your parents become ac-
quainted with them, they're sure
to feel the same way.
(Q) Dear Nancy: I've
been going steady for soma
time now, and I'm tired of
it. I'd like to continue 60
ing out with the boy, but
forgot our "one and only"
status. Yet, l know tlat
he'll want to break UP al
together if l tell him this
and don't want that. Also,
I'm afraid he'll fall for
someone else, and l knew
could not forget him il we
stopped seeing each other
What can l do?"

The Air Force plans to send its

toward 1,700 miles an hour in new
series Of high-altitude speed tests
beyond natures sonic wall"
This was learned today from per-
sons familiar with the long range
program for investigating speeds
faster than sound
The new tests are expected to
take the rocket ship up to 10000
feet-about Is miles-which would
be the highest man has ever at
tanned.
Tests Continuing.
Capt. Charles E. Yeager, the first
pilot to fly the XS-l at supersonic
speeds, said yesterday at a news
conference that tests of the rocket
plane were continuing and that the
Air Force had announced two years
ago that the designed speed of the
craft was 1,700 miles an hour. He
added, however, that there's always
a lot of difference between designed
and actual speeds in any plane"
He pointed out that the Air Force
had not disclosed how fast the XS-1
had travelled in past tests.
A pretty good feeling of achieve
ment' results from flying faster
than sound, Capt. Yeager said III

He refused to say whether he had
felt any i'll effects from puncturing

DR.. Dryden said the plane, manu-

LAKE SUCCESS, June l6.--A

Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet dele
gate, is expected by Council men,
bets to exercise the veto If the Coun-
cil.votes on an American resolution
baked by Britain and Canada. The
Council meets at 2:30 pm.
In informed source said Mr.. Gro
myko has prepared a 15-page speech
outlining Russia's views on the
whole question Of atomic control.
1ni the U. N. Atomic Energy Com
mil bsion he has repeatedly declared
Ruesia's opposition to the majority

deputy on the Council, put before
thu Delegates last Friday q surprise
rephtion calling for the Council to
approve the control proposals IA

ell;
: Britain. Canada Back U. S.
Dr. Jessup was supported imme-
diaely by Sir Alexander Cadogan
of Britain and Gen. A. G. L. Nc
Napghton of Canada. A vote was
delayed because Mr.. Gromyko want
ed ito speak.
The majority plan calls for a
wofld authority which would SUPER
wise atomic developments at all
stages. 1t would waive the Security
Council veto on punishmentS for
violations of the atomic code. 1t
would follow full inspection to de-
terinine that the control provisions

Mr.. Gromyko countered with a
plan for convention banning
atomic weapons now. He then pro-
poSed that controls be worked out
later. He refused to waive the veto
and has not made it clear to ma
tority delegates how far Russia
wonld go on permitting inspectors
within her borders.
Regardless of a veto, the atomic
problem will be a hot issue at the
U. IN Assembly meeting in Paris
September 81.
Soviet Palestine Move Beaten.
Russia lost a move yesterday in
the Security Council to get Soviet
military observers into Palestine.
Mr; Gromyko formally proposed
that all members of the 11-nation
Council except Syria send military
men to help supervise the four

Only the Soviet Ukraine voted

Bar Refuses 10 Act
On Plan for Immediate
Hearings After Arrest

A District Bar Association COM
mittee proposal to institute i'm
mediate hearings after all arrests
was slated for new study today, with
the prospect it would be taken to
the city's chief legal officers for
advice.
The associations membership last
night refused to act on the proposal,
which had split its civil rights COM
mittee, Z to 3. This and several
related subjects under study for the
last year were turned over to a new
civil rights committee for further
consideration.
| This action was taken after Austin
F. Garfield. former association pres
ident, charged that the group pro-
posing the plan had failed to consult
with United States Attorney George
Morris Fay and Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West.
Warning that Congress would be
expected to ask the opinion of these
officials before enacting any revision
of the District Code, as 1com-
mended by the committee, Mr.. Can
field declared:
you don't have a Chinaman's
chance for getting it adopted if they
oppose it,"
Nathan A. Silberberg, majority
committee member, disputed Mr..
Canf1eld's charge in part, asserting
Mr.. West had been consulted by
the committee, and John Wattawa,
committee chairman who sided with
the minority, said Mr.. West had
been brought into the early discus
sions of the group.
Opponents of the plan, however,
virtually monopolized last nights S
debate. Claude A. Thompson author
Of the minority report, said imme-
diate hearings would be step in
aid OF criminals" and Hillary w.
Costello, another apponent, de-
scribed the proposal as arbitrary
and unreasonable"
Majority committee members in
the report contended the provision
for immediate arraignments would
eliminate certain of the abuses in
volved in the practice of the local
police Of holding arrested persons
for investigation for indefinite
periods of time without the placing
of any formal charge against them
The proposal would require an
