Dulles Tells Europe us
Help Forthcoming Only

ROME, Rf - President Eisen-
hower's new Secretary Of State
arrived in Europe today and made
clear within 10 minutes that the
United States wants to know what
Europe is doing about unification

Secretary Of State John Foster
Dulles limited broadly again along
the lines of the warning in his
first U. S. radio speech a week

he put it this way:

eminent officials fired anxious
questions at U. S. Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles Monday
on President Eisenhower's inten-
ton OF ending the us. Seventh

tionalist Chinese fortress Of For

Dulles met all morning with the
officials. He had many questions
to ask, himself, about why France
was dragging her feet in the plans
for European unity.
But the French turned the
meeting into one of questions on
their own part. French sources
said French officials were deeply
concerned over parts Of the Am
erican Presidents state of the
union message to Congress -
which they saw in advance of
delivery.
The French are particularly
worried that EisenhoWer's report

Using along Alaska's highways

Three Members Central Committee
DenOunce Recommendation OF
Rob Reeves for Alaska Governor
BY jim HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-Foes of the Re
publican Central Committee ma
jority's endorsement of Robert c.
Reeve for Alaska governor blew
the lid late Sunday off the politi-
cal kettle that has been boiling
since the nod was given Reeve
last Thursday night.
Three persons who cast votes
for other candidates issued
singing blast Sunday against the
recommendation Of Reeve. They
described his defeat for Delegate
to Congress in the otherwise Re-
publican landslide last fall as a
rejection by the voters.
The statement was issued as a
report to the public" by the Cen
trail Committee minority.
1t charged that Albert White,
Juneau, who was labeled the $50
called general counsel of the Cen
trail Committee, pulled the strings
by long distance telephone from
California.
It charged further that the en-
dorsement represented a disre-
gard of the popular wishes of
Alaskans which might jeopardize
the future of the Republican party
in the territory.
White has been a longtime con-
troversial political figure, and is
often described by opponents as
''Boss White"
The three over whose names
the statement was issued were
Jack Sherman, Ketchikan; Rep.
Edith Bullock, Kotzebue; and E.
Wells Erwin, Anchorage.
The Reeve controversy has led
many legislators to predict that
Secretary of the Interior Mckay
may solve the factional dispute
Dy appointment OF non-AlaSkan
as governor.
The minority of three said it
tried unsuccessfully to have the
committee meeting thrown open
to the public
During the course of the meet
ing, several recesses were taken
and it became obvious the main
purpose was to permit some mem
bers of the majority group to get
in touch with White by telephone
so they could be instructed ON
what actions to take"
The statement charged that no
evidence was presented to show
any popular precinct level sup
port for Reeve. Despite Reeves

Joe stared. The mists Of wine

pered mouth set in a thin, grim
line. He picked up the letter, and
went upstairs to the first floor
to Gina's room. There was no
answer, 50 he thrust the door
open. It was dark, so he switched
on the light. The room was quite
empty and obviously unoccupied.
There was a little CLINT in his
eyes as he closed the door, and
walked quickly down the corridor
to his own room. He opened the
door sharply, and as he expected,
Gina was there. Her luggage was
open on the stand, and she was
sitting on the edge Of the bed,
her pretty bare feet dangling,
while she brushed her long SHIN
mering fair hair. She was dressed
in filmy nightdress and negli-

"Who let you in here?" asked

into the bar, ordered his brandy,

Anthea and to Mario. He bought
stamps from the barman, who
told him that there was a tray
for mail on the desk in the hall.
Joe put the letters into his
pocket and went into the lounge.
Gina was just finishing the en-
velope of her letter, writing with
her tongue in the corner Of her
mouth, and making big, uniformed
letters like a child.
He rose and went out into the
lounge, and Gina sat for q mo-
ment watching him with her
heavy-lidded, sultry eyes. Then
she too rose, and went upstairs.
Joe took his letters to the tray,
and he was about to drop them
when he saw a letter on the top,
turned face downward. II was
blue, like the envelope Gina had
been addressing. He said to him

Up For Trial

PARIS IN - A four-year old
charge Of spying in the SUPER
secret cutting and sewing rooms
Of the Paris fashion houses comes
to trial here this month.
Sixteen persons are accused Of
looting designs and patterns of
new models and selling them to
outsiders.
The case has been called zone
Of the biggest--if not the biggest
case Of espionage" In the history
of the haute couture industry.
Since il first came to light In
August. 1913. hundreds Of persons
have been questioned. An expert
spent . whole year comparing
sketches found In possession Of the
accused against the original de-
signs.
The trial win be heard Feb.
1928.
According TO those who have
closely followed the investigation.
this is how the scheme worked:
Employees Of big fashion houses
were approached and offered
brides 10 sneak out sketches Of
exclusive models. Sometimes
sketches or photos were made sur.
reptitiously during the first pres
entations.
These designs then were sold 20

GLIDING the United States. with the
assurance they could be made and
sold as exact copies of a robe by
Dior or Faith or some other famous
designer. In some cases, gowns
even were sold as Dior originals.
II has been estimated that the
scheme made items of billions of
francs" Zone billion francs Is about
s.. 666, 000), but II is recognized
that many Of those connected with
II profited very little.
The prosecution Is under q
French law protecting fashion de.
signs from counterieiting. Some Of
the defendants are accused Of
stealing the designs. Others are
charged with receiving them, and
still others with selling them for
profit 10 the financial detriment Of
the original designers.
The law under which the de-
PENDANTS are being prosecuted pro-
vides only fines. However, some %
those on trial may be asked 10 pay
damages 20 the fashion houses.
The expert who waded through al
the evidence estimated Dior should
be entitled 10 at least 300 .O0o

should be much higher. Sketches

They promised to help one another
in case of attack of any of them.
But here and abroad it was felt
something stronger was needed to
discourage the Russians from any
warlike intentions. And tire e
months later, June IL, 1913, the
U. S. Senate approved resolution
offered by the late Sen. Van

1t told the President to 60 ahead,
for the first time in American
peacetime history, and make al
liances with other countries. The
result was the creation Of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton.

United States, Canada, Iceland,
Norway, De m ark, Britain,
France, Belgium, The Netherlands,

NATO members are pledged to
help one another in case of at
tack on any of them. This was
putting wheels within wheels since
the five Brussels Treaty nations

Under NATO eacn nation was
to keep its own military forces
independently. But they agreed to

Right now it's American Gen Mat
