to Join the proposed alliance
or at least not oppose it.
Secretary Of State Dulles has
carried on negotiations with the
nine states which the United
States has invited to join the
pact.
New Deputy Undersecretary
Of State Robert Murphy is hold
ing talks with the additional
states. He conferred yesterday
with Ambassador Moekarto
Notowidigo of Indonesia and for
an hour with Ambassador G.. L.
Mehta of India.
Both India and Indonesia are
notably unenthusiastic about
much that the United States has
done in the Far East. Seemingly
the most the United States could
expect to get from them is pas
sive neutrality toward the pro-
posed Southeast Asia pact.
More Favorable Reaction.
Mr.. Murphy probably can get
more sympathetic reaction when
he tells his story to representa-
tives of the other three coun-
tries involved in the current
round of talkS-Burma, Ceylon
and Pakistan. Mr.. Murphy talked
with the Ambassador of Burma
on Monday, and is expected to
see Ambassadors of Ceylon and
Pakistan shortly.
The negotiations are delicate.
Mr.. Murphy is reported to be
telling his story in a straight
forward manner, but not in such
way that the foreign diplomats
have to indorse or reject the
American view. The United
States seeks a Southeast Asia
defense alliance with nine other
countries-the three Associated
States of Indo- China, Great
Britain. France, Australia, New
Zealand, the Philippines and
Thailand.
Thailand Ready to Join.
Thailand has agreed to join,
but State Department officials
decline to discuss in detail the
progress, if any, that has been
made toward persuading the
other countries to sign up.

posed salary raise to $27 500 will
enable most members of the

"The present salaries of Con-

line with scales paid by private
business" she said. "Our public
officials bear a tremendous bur-
den."
She said their tough, exacting
jobs include working usually q

An Office is hardly the place
for a fashion parade. 1t is a

Whether you work in a bank,
In a department store. or for the

Looking like that means that
you dress for your role as a
businesS-woman. This eliminates
clothes that are frilly, fussy, and
which clearly state that they be-
long to another time and for
another place.
Nineteen million women are
working in the United States.
These women make salaries

throughout the world. These
working girls are amongst the
best dressed women in the world.
Hiding behind that statement
are a number of women who

Office clothes should be trim
and organized looking. Good Of

gabardines, the miracle fabrics
that resist wrinkles, and dark
cottons that have no season at

Personally. we're delighted that
this season there is a great deal
of emphasis on the "shirt-look."
In blouses it is accounting for
a look around Offices that gives

Boil this. in sailed water. until

Drain cabbage. In a buttered
casserole. place a layer of the
cabbage, crushed cracker
crumbs and one or more slices
of Old English cheese, cut in
small pieces. Add a pat or two
of butter. Continue these lay
ers until all cabbage is used.
Pour the white sauce over this
and top the casserole with an
other layer of cracker crumbs.
Sprinkle grated American
cheese over the whole thing.
Bake in moderate oven until
thick and bubbly. Tastes Moth
