essential to the successful compile

Observers specialized that the
key question was whether to dis
cuss withdrawal of foreign troops
from Korea. The Communists
want this on the agenda. The
U. N. negotiators do not.
They are still trying to agree
on the scope Of actual cease-fire
talks.

a two hour recess, was asked by

One obvious specific objective
for such Kremlin tactics would
be to delay or discredit the sign

minimizing fear of Communist

conversations" with the Spanish
government to ascertain what
Spain might be willing and able
to do to contribute to strengthen
ling the common defense against
possible aggression in Western
Europe.
| AT a press conference today Mr.
Acheson acknowledged that after
many months of conferences with
the British and French govern
ments this country has been un-
able to find a common position on
the subject with those govern
ments for reasons of which we
are aware and understand.
For strategic military reasons,
Secretary Acheson said, the
United States initiated the explor-
latory conversations on it's own and
sent Admiral Forrest P. Sherman
chief OF naval operations, to in
lterview Gen. Franco.
Tentative Talks Begun.
Military authorities are in gen.
eral agreement that Spain is OF
strategic Importance to the gen.
eral defense Of Western Europe, y
Mr.. Acheson said in a prepared
statement. 'As a natural corol-
llary to this generally accepted
conclusion, tentative and explora-
tory conversations have been
undertaken with the Spanish gov
lernment with the sole purpose of
laScertaining what Spain might be
willing and able to do which could
contribute to the strengthening of
the common defense against posi-
BILE aggression
The secretary declared that any
understanding ultimately reached
will supplement the basic United
States policy of building the de-
fensive strength of the West. He
added:
Tt has been and is our firm in
tention to see to it that if Western
Europe Is attacked it will be de-
| fended-and not liberated. The
presence Of American armed
forces in Western Europe bears
witness to this intent as does the
appointment. at the request of
our NATO North Atlantic Treaty
Organization) Allies, of Gen.
Eisenhower as supreme command
er.
Military Aid to Continue.
1--WE are sending vast amounts
OF military and other aid to these
Allies for whom a clear priority
has been established. There will
be no change in this procedure.
In other words. the North Atlantic
treaty is fundamental to our pol
icy in Europe and the closest pos
sihle cooperation with our NATO
Allies will remain the keystone of
this policy"
Secretary Acheson declined to
expand the statement with refer
ence to the common position"
which the United States, Britain
and France have been unable to
find.
In reply to a question as to
whether this Government believes
there are indications of "liberali-
cation" of the Franco regime, Mr..
Acheson said:
I'm told that there may be an
announcement about a, new cab
met tomorrow"
The Secretary said he is very
happy" to learn from late reports
that Britain is now ready to favor
admitting Greece and Turkey into
NATO. He said he did not know
the attitude of other member gov
|ernments on this subject.

The project was planned by Mrs. Webb and was very successful. However, Mrs. Webb said she would continue these tours this coming season.
 Her reason for Tesigning was that, with press of other duties she felt that she could no longer carry on the troop activities.
 In the past. the committee point d out. too much of troop leaders time has been taken up with re- cords and outside work, so the com mittee, in the future will take over all records and monies and will all 50 provide a qualified list of per sons to pass on merit badge require ments. This should leave a new leader fret to work with the girls.
 At present here are Is registered Girl Scouts, mostly between the ages of 10 and 14 Many materials are on hand for their activities and handicrafts. but without a new troop leader they may be forced to disband.
 Working with the girls can be interesting and produce satisfying results, the committee pointed out, and urged that anyone interested in taking over the work contact one of the following committee members: Mrs Lucille Lemieux, Mrs. Kenneth Marvin, the Rev. H. Hall. Mrs. L. T. Campbell Mrs. F. Denney. Mrs. Agnes Davis or the Rev. Paul Evans.

She does this even when other
people are around and I do really

When you two are alone, why
don't you tell her frankly: II don't

Dear Mrs. Post: Myra Blank,
my friend, and I want to give a
