Yule Program

London Garden Clubs Christ
mas program, marked with SIM
plicity, was presented Wednesday
evening at the home of Mrs.
Caryl'A. Holton, East First Street,
in a setting that filled members
with feeling of well-being and
fired them with enthusiasm for
the approach of the yuletide.
Central motif of the decora-
tions of the home, was the sig
nificant ornamentation of the
mantle, delicate figurines depict
ing the story of the Christ-child,
made by Mrs. Holton. These were
nestled in cedar sprays.
A handsome arrangement of
poinsettias, candles and greens,
drew the attention to the north
end of the long living-room. This
was the artistry of Mrs. r. B.
Howard.
The simple centerpiece on the
tea table, was formed of red
berried, white edged holly sprays,
with candles in ceramic angels,
lighting the decoration. Mrs. F.
E. Rosnagle, president of the club,
presided at the tea table.
The program directed by Mrs.
Harry H. High, included legends
of Christmas flowers and decora-
tions, given by Mrs. Walter Wea-
yer and Miss Margaret Converse.
These were interspersed by sing
ing of Christmas carols, led by

Je an Gels Is
Rotary Fellow"
Gives Brilliant
Report At Rotary
Party Thursday

Miss Jean Gels, pianist, former
ly of Springfield, presently of
Matoon, Illinois, left a most ap-
preciative audience on Thursday
night, lost in wonder, love and
praise" - the wonder" for a
talent SO great and a personality
so appealing; the love-" for her
symbolism of American youth at
its finest, and the praise" for a
most brilliant performance.
Miss Gels, a pianist with a
marvellous talent, was guest of
honor at the dinner that London
Rotary Club gave for the pleasure
of Rotary-Anns at the Presbyteri-
an Church and was later guest
artist at concert in the old au-
ditorium of London High School.
Miss Gels has but recently re-
turned from Paris, France, where
she studied piano for the last year
on a fellowship of Rotary Inter-
national sponsored by the Clubs of
District 231 of which London is a
part. She is now fulfilling a part
of her obligation as a fellow
and is reporting back to all the
clubs in the District.
She prefaced Thursday nights
program with a half hours in
formal talk on her impressions OF
France as one of Rotary's Am
bassadors of Good Will" her
analysis of the life abroad in all
its vicissitudes, was given with q
capability recognized as far be-
yond that of the usual youth oil
27 years.
Extremely fair to look upon
Miss Gels continued to impress
her audience with another phase
of her aptitude as artist and stu
dent (she had studied at the Sor-
bonne in addition to her heavy
schedule at the Paris Conservato-
ry) when she sat down to the
piano to give her second report
to Rotary" Her program from
the masters" completely cap
tivated them. Without benefit OF
notes, she played with a clarity
of tone, a technique and an exc
cution that comes only after the
most diligent and intense devo-
ton to purpose. Her numbers
among others, by Chopin an6
GerShwin, were extremely well
done, especially a Scriabins Noe
turne, for the left hand alone g
most difficult feat which was per,
formed with great dexterity anC
brought out very clearly the love
ly melody. In order to give hel
program a little of the French
touch, she substituted a number
''The Gods of the River Laugh as
the Waters Tickle Him" by the
French composer, Ravel, in which
she realistically brought out the
laughing waters, prevalent theme
of the Composition.
Miss Gels was the guest last
week of District Governor anC
Mrs. James F. Bell, Richmond
Avenue, who had the pleasure o.
accompanying her to numerous o.
the various clubs in the distric
to which she was making hel
report" On Thursday, Mrs. Bel

Christmas roses and most at
tractive, the spicy red carnations,

But a second difficulty, he
viewed as much more serious:
The principal virtue of the

Cautions on Silence.
The pontiff cautioned that the
conspiracy of silence" can also
offend gravely against truth and
justice, saying:
"You know by your own daily
experiences how difficult it often
is to obtain for truth, simply
presented, even a part of that
considerate interest in the field
of public opinion which the SEN
sational and misleading lie and
half-truth can frequently assure
for themselves.
when there is q question Of
relations between nations and
states, the educating Of public
opinion to look at things as they
are and to consider truth dis
passionately, with calm and dig
nifty, is one Of the essential con-
ditions for the smoothing down

Piles together and for peace"

British-Egyptian Row
Over Suez SizzIes
During Dulles Visit
BY the Assoeiofod Press

CAIRO, Egypt. May IA
hot British Egyptian verbal
crossfire over the Suez Canal
Zone sizzled around United States
Secretary Of State John Foster
Dulles today as he and Mutual
Security Administrator Harold
Stassen began the second day
of their Middle and Near East
information" tour.
Any hopes that Mr.. Dulles
might be able to convince the
Egyptians they should let large
numbers Of British technicians
remain in the canal zone appear
ed dimmed by a heated exchange
of statements from Prime Min
listers Mohamed Naguib and
Winston Churchill.
Mr.. Dulles outlined the po-
sition Of President EiSenhower's
government on the Suez in q
meeting with Gen. Naguib soon
after the American cabinet Of
fetal arrived here yesterday. The
Egyptian chief and Mr.. Dulles
were due to discuss details of
the situation in another meeting
today before the Americans de-
parture tomorrow for Israel and
the other 10 nations on their
20-day itinerary.
Determined to Gust Occupation.
The strong-man Egyptian Pre-
mier declared, however, in a
predawn statement that his
country is firmly determined to
rid herself of British occupation"
He charged Mr.. Churchill with
trying to "camouf1age his impe-
rialistic aims toward the Arab
world under a new expression
defense of the free worlds in
terests in the Middle East"
Gen. Naguib's declaration was
in reply to Mr.. Churchill's aSser-
ton to the House of Commons
yesterday that British troops in
the Suez were ready to defend
themselves, if Gen. Naguib's
'boastful and threatening
speeches were to be translated
into action and our soldiers
were killed."
Mr.. Churchill added that 1--WE
are entirely capable of doing this
without requiring any physical
assistance from the United States
or any one else"
Following his meeting with
Gen. Naguib yesterday, Mr.. Dulles
said the United States would do
all it could to help the two ma
tions solve their bitter differ
ences over the Suez. In appar-
ent agreement with the British
position, he added that America
feels the canal zone and the
huge British bases there should
be kept in good working order
for the free world to use in case
of possible future hostilities.
Key Point in Negotiations.
British-Egyptian negotiations
over the future of the Suez
broke down last Wednesday
after Britain refused to take her
troops out of the canal zone un-
less some 5000 British experts
stayed on to insure operation Of
the vast military installations.
Gen. Naguib's blast at Mr.,
Churchill came after a three
hour meeting with the military
revolutionary council" which is
his governments strongest back
ing.
Gen. Naguib had told report
ers earlier. after his first talk
with Mr.. Dulles, that Egypt
would not accept the United
States as a third party to the
negotiations with Britain.

Senate Debate Starts
On Controls Bill With
Taft in Opposition

Senate debate on the economic
controls bill got off to a lively
start today with Majority Leader
Taft opposing the delegation to
President Eisenhower of power to
say when a national emergency
exists.
Ever since I have been in
Congress I have heard of ma
tional emergencies proclaimed by
executive order, and I am just
as much opposed to it now as I
was when Mr.. Truman was in the
White House." said Senator Taft
with vehemence.
Chairman Capehart of the
Banking Committee was explain
ing the main feature of the bill.
which would freeze all prices,
wages and rents for 80 days
whenever the President believes
an emergency requires it.
"I can see now, from the at
titude of the majority leader,
this debate is going to get rough, I"
replied Senator Capehart, so we
might as well get rough now."
The Indiana Senator then pro-
ceeded to recall that many Sen
ators, including the majority
leader, did not hesitate to vote
in the draft law to let the Presi-
dent pull the trigger by deciding
whether to call 10 million or IS
million men into the armed serv-
ices"
Senator Capehart asked if the
material things covered by the
controls bill are more important
to be kept in congressional hands
than the lives Of American boys.
The Eisenhower administration
did not ask for the 90-day freeze
provision, although it wants
other provisions Of the bill, ex-
tending the power to allocate
scarce materials. Senator Cape
hart has taken the position that
in the event of all-out war, Con-
gress could not act instantly to
restore price and wage controls,
and that a 90-day freeze would
give them time to act.

Of World 10 Hold
Frank Peace Talk
By the Asseeiated Pres.

VATICAN CITY, May 12.-
Pope Plus XII urged today that
the worlds leaders hold frank
and loyal" discussions aimed at
peace.
Speaking at the first special
audience he has ever granted
foreign newsmen stationed in
Rome, the pontiff made his lat
est plea for peace less than a
day after British Prime Minis
ter Churchill advocated a big
power meeting to ease differ
ences between the East and
West.
Although such discussion
would not yet mean that peace
was assured" the Pope said, "It
is at least the first and indi-
spensable condition of peace"
IF that is lacking. one would
not know how to take any step
towards its attainment" the
pontif added.
100 Newsmen Attend.
More than 100 newsmen from
80 nations attended the audience
in the Consistorial Hall Of the
Vatican Palace.
Speaking in French, the Pope
said that in the postwar world
the word peace" has been widely
used and "has also been mis-
used" t. "
1--WE feel" he added, that we
can testify ourselves that in our
messages we have given to the
peace which the world really
needs. a meaning that is clear
and realistic"
Urges Defense Of Right.
The Pope urged his listeners
to strive to become daily more
valiant heralds Of truth, fear
less defenders of what is right,
and wise pioneers Of a true
peace"
The pontiff spoke Of the diff

Officials Here Cool
To Churchill Plan
For Soviet Talks
By Gornett D. Homer

Official Washington does not
look with favor or any great
excitement on British Prime
Minister Churchill's proposal for
an early high-level conference
with the Soviet Union.
The White House and State
Department kept silent officially,
Apparently they did not want
to say anything that would point
up differences of opinion with
the British government.
Informed officials said it was
obvious that London looks to-
ward Moscow through roster
colored glasses than does Wash
ington.
This is nothing new. The Brit
ish generally have tended to be
more favorable toward top Level
conferences with Moscow dur
ing the cold war than has this
Government.
Should Back Up Words.
The American position now is
that the new Soviet leaders
should back up their words with
specific actions-like ending the
fighting in Korea and Indo-
China and agreeing to a peace
treaty with Austria-before a
general conference could be ex-
pected to be worthwhile.
President Eisenhower made
this position clear in his ''peace
offensive" speech to the Ameri-
can Society of Newspaper Edi-
tors April Is, and officials said
nothing had happened to change
his mind. The President has
said several times that he would
meet Russia half way in any
sincere effort for peace. But
he wants first more. evidence OF
their sincerity.
Congressional reaction to the
Churchill proposal was mixed.
The chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
Senator Wiley, Republican. OF
Wisconsin, said: II can see nc
particular harm in it.
But neither do I see much
good that could result unless
there is definite and genuine in
dication by the Kremlin that
they mean business"
Holland FavOrS Idea.

the idea. For one thing, he saio
