several years she was leader of the
christian union prayer band. A work
she loved and cherished very much.
She was a member of the Improv-
ed Pail Bearers No. of Miami, and
was faithful until her health made
it impossible for her to attend reg
ularly. ..,...... ....
She last attended church Sunday
morning, April 2, receiving the holy
communion, a service she never has
missed.
She was stricken Monday, April
and the end came Thursday

AS the celebration in the hotel

French police whistles. None were
louder than the Ambassador S
party. who blew long after other
merrymakers tired of the whistles.
They still were blowing when
comedians appeared to start the
floor show Other guests glared
and muttered. The comedians
tried to carry on but could not
be heard.
Then it happened-like this,

Ambassador Doused as ReveIry
In New Delhi Hits ShriII Peak

The Ambassador blew a whistle in
the tall strangers face. The
stranger seized a water pitcher
and doused the Ambassadors
head, then turned away.
Guests at adjoining tables
watched fascinated as the drip
ping Ambassador picked up the
pitcher and hurled it at the tall
man. hitting him in the back.
Unhurt, the tall man retrieved the
unbroken pitcher and threw it
back at Tascheret. but he missed.
Tascheret and his party stormed
into the corridor demanding that
the manager call the police.
An officer who arrived obtained
statements from the table in sew
eral languages. These indicated
there was perhaps more to the
incident than the witnesses knew
about. Included in the report was
the allegation that Tascheret
poured liquor from a glass on the
tall mans head while the latter
was dancing, "just as joke"
No arrests were made.

BY the Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, May 6.-Refu-
gees from Venezuela say that
country's armed forces are split
by unrest against the ruling mill
tary junta and that some 5000
persons have been arrested.
These reports, from exiled men,
bers of the former Accion Demo-
cratica Party who were ousted by
the junta in 1913, conceded with
official reports from Caracas of an
unsuccessful armed attack on the
governments air base at Maracay,
125 miles west of the capital.
The Venezuelan Army commu-
nique said one attacker was
killed and Is were wounded in
an attempt to sabotage planes
and flying equipment on the field.
Two government men were re-
ported wounded. Reliable in
formants identified the leader of
the attack as a former official in

Acheson Begins Trip
Today TO Confer on
Cold War Strateqy
Talks With Schumon
And Bevin to Precede
Treoty Council Moy IS
By Gornett D. Homer

Secretary of State Acheson
leaves today for important cold
war strategy conferences in Paris
and London which he hopes will
lay the basis for greater unity in
policies and actions of the anti
Communist nations.
He planned to depart by plane
from Washington National Air
port at about 2 pm. His sched-
ule calls for talks with T~ench
Foreign Minister Schuman In
Paris Monday. with British For
eign Secretary Bevin in London
Tuesday and Wednesday, and then
joint big Three" discussions the
remainder of the week before a
meeting of the North Atlantic
Treaty Council starting May Is.
His departure comes amid re-
ports that the State and Defense
Departments now estimate that
the Western powers have at most
only about four years to build up
their combined military strength
against Russia. Careful study is
said to indicate that by 1854 the
Soviet will be in position to over
power the United States alone.
Appraisal Needed First.
AS American officials see 1t, the
first task of both the big Three"
and the Atlantic Council sessions
is to agree on an appraisal of the
situation-just how serious the
threat to the West is and what
each of the Western powers should
be doing about it.
Mr.. Acheson's fundamental OBJ
jective, associates said, will be
to lay the basis for concerted &C.
ton within the framework OF the
Atlantic community of non Com
munist nations. He hopes for
measures to integrate Western
Germany and possibly other ma
tions outside the Atlantic pact
into this framework as much as
possible.
On the military side, Mr.. Ache
son will emphasize that the
United States alone cannot pos
sibly do the necessary job of pro-
viding adequate defense against
Russia. Greater combined efforts
of the Western European nations
are considered essential.
Shooting War Held Remote.
Of1cials here say that no top
Western authorities anticipate a
shooting war in the immediate fu-
ture. But strengthening Western
defenSes is considered the best in
surance against a Russian attack.
For the present the most serious
threat is held here to be prolonga-
tion Of the cold war, with the

profits were 6 per cent ahead of
the first quarter of 1949.
That earnings power came de-
spite cutbacks in postwar expan-
sion programs, general price re-

1t was due in great part to the
