Things have come to such a
pass in all the confusion over
book burning" that the officers
of an American sorority are
afraid to try to give copies Of

Mrs. Dorothy Ballard. presi-

today of the sorority's plans to
help stock the library of Ethio-

Community, an American
backed European defense scheme

Germany that will remain

But the British are urging that

If Germany is to be reunited,
the Western allies must either

The United States appeared
ready today to agree formally to
plans for a Big Four conference
to decide the future of Germany.
The meeting would be between
the heads of governments or
more likely the foreign ministers
of the United States. the Soviet
Union, Great Britain and France.
1t would be some time after
German elections September 6.
The British have campaigned
for months to get representa-
tives of the major cold war pow
ers AROUND the same conference
table. Russia and France also
seem to favor the idea. The
United States has never chal-
lenged the idea that such a con-
ference should be held eventually,
but has been concerned about
the problem of timing.
Now American agreement to

eddy told congressional leaders
today he believes a truce is near
in Korea despite the massive
new attacks by the Communists.

regular weekly White House ses-
sion with the President, were
briefed on the situation in Ko-
rea, including the successful ne
gotiations for an agreement with
South Korean President Syng-
man Rhee.
Gen. Eisenhower was described
by some of those who attended
as optimistic about the chances
for a truce. These informants
asked not to be quoted by name.
The President and military
leaders were reported to regard
the newest Communist offensive,
directed at areas held by South
Korean troops, as designed pri-
marily to straighten out a bulge
made in their lines by. a 1851
allied offensive.
The Presidents optimism ap-
parently was shared by mem
bers of Congress who made it
clear they expect a truce soon.
Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin, said he is hopeful
that post-truce political nego-
tiations may open the way for
peace in all of Asia.

The union is asking improved

Condor Terms Data
Barring Him atA-Test
Not Fairly Eva|uated
Representative Brands
Story About Bon by Navy
Absolutely False

Representative Robert L. Con-
don, Democrat, of California,
told the House today he believes
the Atomic Energy Commission
did not fairly evaluate the in
formation concerning me" when
it barred him from witnessing an
atom bomb test at Las Vegas,
New, May7.
Furthermore, I deeply resent
the manner in which the Acc
handled this whole affair."" the
freshman Congressman said.
He added that he expects the
case to be used "by my political
opponents in 1884" and added
that he is willing for the voters
of the 9Th California congress
sional district to decide the ques-
ton of his loyalty.
In previous discussion with
newsmen Mr.. Condor had said
the ban was raised against him
on security grounds.
Planned a StOpOver.
Mr.. Condor said he did not
plan originally to attend the Las
Vegas demonstration to which
all members of Congress had
been invited, but decided to go
because the Navy invited him to
make the dedication speech at
the launching of a minesweeper
at Mare Island on May II.
He considered Las Vegas "a
stopover on my journey to Cali
fornia," Mr.. Condor said.
Shortly after the congressional
party arrived at Las Vegas, Mr..
Condor said, II was informed by
two employees of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission that they had
received instructions that I was
not to be allowed to witness the
blast"
Re said the action came as
a complete surprise to him and
he demanded an explanation.
Referred to Dean.
He said he was told the two
employees were acting under in
structions from Gordon Dean,
then Acc chairman, and only
Mr.. Dean could give the expla-
nation.
So he left Las Vegas and went
to Mare Island and made the
dedication speech, he said. and
upon his return to Washington
discussed the case with Mr..
Dean.
"At our first meeting Mr..
Dean had little information to
give me-" Mr.. Condor said. I'm
fact, it appeared that he had
not personally issued the order.
This had been done by a SUBJ
ordinate in his name"
Subsequently, he said, Mr..
Dean gave him further informa-
ton and after full discussion
with him. left satisfied that the
episode was closed"

In his earlier informal discus
sion of the incident Mr.. Condor
had said Mr.. Dean indicated

there were no long waiting lines.
The tempo in Fairfax appeared

In Richmond, 16 wards used
