Mrs Mestu to Spend Christmas Here; Boheons on Cruise
Supreme Court to Start New Year With Cinema Spree

Christmas running is in all
directions-in and out of town,
in and out of stores, in and
out of parties. Perle Mesta
returns to town tomorrow to
spend two days with members
of her family-her brother
in-law and sister, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Tyson, and her bach
elor brother, Bill Skirvin,
who's coming from Oklahoma.
She'll be in her new apart
ment at the Sheraton Park.
Swedish Ambassador and
Nine. Bohemian have taken q
smart step. While the rest of
us are still struggling with
Yule preparations and look
ing more haggard every day.
they're leaning back in solid
restful comfort on the deck of
the small Swedish cruise ship
Patricia, far from the tele-
phone and the demands of Of
fical life. They and their Z
year-old son EnderS embarked
Monday along with lit other
passengers. BY now they are
in the sun-kissed regions. The
Caribbean cruise will take
them all the way down to Pan
anna and Colombia, will keep
them away until January 4.
Just back from a vacation
in warmer climes are Senator
and Mrs. Mike Monroney.
They went to the Virgin Is
lands, Jamaica, Puerto Rico,

and color but will still take

City to spend Christmas with
her good friend. Mrs. Francis

Years eve.
The Supreme Court will
start the new year off in the
leisurely pursuit of watching
a couple of choice movies.
Maybe the highest judges
don't have such a tough life
after all. While some of us
are slaving over our hot type
writer's, they will be engrossed
in two risque cinema stories.
On January 4 in the Judges
Conference Room, they will
see I'M" which was banned in
Ohio. and on January 6 LA

but was banned in New York.
The producers are appealing
the bans. so it's up to the nine
justices to see for themselves
and decide. Last year they
took the ban off "The Miracle"
after viewing same. If they
keep this sort of thing UP.
they'll have to join one of

To Clear UnWanfed
Troops From Burma
By the Assoeieted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Oct.
31.-The United States promised
the United Nations today it will
keep up efforts to clear unwanted
foreign troops out of Burma.
Delegate Archibald Carey. jr..
Chicago alderman and African
church minister. informed the
U. N. Assembly political commit
tee that President Eisenhower is
keeping in close touch with de-
velopments as plans progress to
move about 1000 Chinese Ma
tionalist troops out of Burma.
They are part of an irregular
force of about 10000.
Mr.. Carey's statement came
after Burma announced that
United States moves since early
this year had not solved the
question, and Nationalist China's
T. F. Tsiang said he thought his
country may be able to influence
more than 2,o00 to leave.
Disputes Chinese Control.

the Burmese delegation. said
United States initiative had pro-
duced conferences in Bangkok
resulting in agreement tc remove
part Of the Chinese and native
irregulars. But he disputed Ma
tional China's contentious it's
army had no control over the
band which has been raiding in
northeast Burma more than two
years.
He read captured documents
which he said Gen. Ii Mi, Ma
tionalist Chinese general, wrote
last June promising reinforce
ments to the guerillas and urg-
ing them to hold against any
Burmese attacks.
Mr.. Tsiang said many of the
band are not under the control
of Chinese authorities, but that
they want to fight on in South
east Asia to save Burma and the
whole area from communism.
Burmese Delegation Amused.
Burmese delegation members
smiled broadly at this statement.
Mr.. Tsiang said he thought he
had convinced authorities of his
government that the band was
not doing China or the anti
Communist cause any good.
Judge Myint Them suggested
that if the United States would
threaten to suspend aid TO For
mosa the band would disappear
overnight. But he did not offer
any formal resolution for specific
action.

Italian Premier Sees
BidauIt on Means Of
Settling Trieste Issue
By the Assoeia,sd Press

PARIS, Oct. 31.-Italian Pre-
mier Giuseppe Pella talked with
French Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault for 90 minutes today
about Trieste.
Official sources said they ex-
plored ways and means of
achieving a peaceful settlement
of the quarrel between Italy and
Yugoslavia over the Adriatic ter
ritory.
Asks Understanding.
Mr.. Pella told reporters later
he could be optimistic If the Yu-
goslavs properly understood the
foundation of Italian claims to
the area. He said he had not yet
received an invitation to a con-
ference with Yugoslavia, the
United States, Britain and
France.
Secretary of State Dulles, Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden and Mr.. Bidault, at their
London talks two weeks ago,
urged a five-power conference on
the Trieste issue.
President Marshal Tito's gov
ernment has indicated its will
ingness to take part, while re-
manning set against the decision
of the United States and Britain
to Withdraw their occupation
troops from Trieste's Zone A and
turn it's administration over to
Italy. Tito threatens to use
troops to stop Italian troops from
entering Zone A.
Italy'S position is that she will
dicker with YugoSlavia only on
a position of equality-when
Italian trops are in Zone A or
Yugoslav troops are withdrawn
from YugoSlav- occupied Zone B,
Wants Plebiscite.
Mr.. Pella was quoted in an in
terview by the newspaper Paris
Presse lIntransigeant as saying
Italy opposes any proposal to
"Europeanize" Trieste meaning
to set it apart something like the
District of Columbia in the
United States. He wants a pleb-
iScite to determine the territory's
future.
To offset Yugoslav contentious
that Italy shipped her nationals
into the area on a large scale
after World War 1, Mr.. Pella
suggested that the plebiscite be
limited to persons living in or
born in the area before Novem-
ber 4, 1918. date of the armistice

Joy Greeting Son
Back From Korea
Rx the Asneioied Press


DENVER. Sept. II. - They
stood there at the airport, the
President and Mrs Eisenhower,
Just like so many other American
parents awaiting the return of a
son from Korea these days.
Then they spotted him-29-
Sear-old Maj. John Eisenhower
coming down the ramp from
the plane and their faces lighted
up, just as the faces of so many
other fathers and mothers do.
The major, back from IA
months of active duty in Korea.
smiled back a bit shyly. In an
other moment he was kissing his
mother soundly and giving her
q warm hug.
For his proud father, the Pres
ident, there was hearty hand
shake and an exchange of greet
ngs.
The major, in uniform, was
accompanied by his wife Barbara
on the flight from San Francisco
last night. She had met him in
Tacoma, Wash, last week end
when he flew in from the Far
East. Since then they had been
visiting relatives and friends on
the West Coast.
The President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover arrived at Denver's Sta
pleton Airport from the home of
her mother, Mrs. John S. Doud,
about 20 minutes before the
majors plane was due last night.
Mrs. Doud accompanied them.
A crowd of about 5000 persons
was. on hand. When the plane
TAXED up, the President and
his wife left their car and went
to the foot of the ramp.
Gen. Eisenhower wore a brown

suit with a white carnation in
his lapel. The first lady's suit
was gray and black striped and
she had on q small white hat.
A large orchid was pinned at
her shoulder.
They had not seen the major
since he came home on brief
leave for the Inauguration last
January.
When the first greetings we're
over, cameramen asked the Pres

ident to put his arm around
John.
You just go right ahead" Gen.
Eisenhower told the photogra-
pliers with a smile, but without
complying.
she group walked to the wait
ing car, where John gave his
grandmother. Mrs. Doud, a hug
and a kiss. Then they drove off
to her home.
The happy scene was entirely
different from one at the same
airport IA months ago, when the

major said good-by to his par
ents as he left for Korea.
Mrs. Eisenhower lost a valiant
fight then to hold back the tears.
She sobbed softly as the plane
took off.
The major and his We plan
to remain in Denver through the
week end, then go on to Fort
Sheridan near Chicago, where
their three children-David, S;

Stuart G. Upton, general
counsel of the Air Transport
Association, opposed the bill,
saying:
Few, if any ministers serve q

sive that it is necessary for them
to travel by air in the further
'ance of their day-to-day paro-

Moreover, Mr.. Upton went on,
travel discounts are no small
financial item. In 1852, he esti-
mated, American railroads is
sued coupon books emitting
clergymen to 10 million possible
rides at reduced rates.
Mr.. Upton offered a number
of other arguments. How, he
wanted to know. Is an airline
going to determine whether a
man applying for cut-rate
privileges is a bona fide clergy
man or not? Besides, he said,
once you give clergymen a break
on fares. all sorts of other
groups will want the same thing.
