a special House subcommittee.
Representative Hagen, Repub-

would sponsor legislation to this
effect He said he hoped for quick
action by the full committee

Under the subcommittee bill,
norf-veterans would get the right
of appeals to the Civil Service
Commission against unjust dis

verse personnel actions now
granted only to veterans.
Mr.. Hagen said veterans
groups questioned about the pro-
posal had no objections, "since
in no way would it lessen their
present preferential status and
rights"

Mr.. Nixon's comments in an off,
the-record talk at a session of
the American Society of News
paper Editors on Friday. The
Vice President said that in the
unlikely event that the French
forces withdrew from Indo-
China, American troops might
be sent in in a last-ditch effort
to save the country from Com
munist rule.
Some legislators promptly
voiced opposition to any such
use of American troops, while
others demanded a Qualification
Of administration policy.
Highly Unlikely Situation"
The State Department state
ment, issued by Press Officer
Jameson Parker. emphasized
that Mr.. Nixon's speech "enun-
ciated no new United States
policy with regard to Indo-
China" 1t said the Nixon re-
marks were in full agreement"
with the policies outlined by
President Eisenhower and Sec
rotary of State Dulles.
Mr.. Parker's statement added
that Mr.. Nixon. in suggesting
the possible use of American
forces, was simply defining a
course of possible action" that
he was personally prepared to
support" in a highly unlikely"
situation.
The statement said Mr.. Nixon
had correctly emphasized the
fact that the interests OF the
United States and other free
nations are vitality involved with
the interests of France and the
Associated States in resisting
Communist domination OF 1ndo-
China.
Leaders in Agreement.
In his address to the editors,
Mr.. Nixon had stipulated that he
could be quoted only as a high
official of the administration.
Later, however. the identity of
the speaker leaked out in papers
both in the United States and
abroad
Mr.. Parker's statement did not
mention Mr.. Nixon by name,
but referred to remarks at
tributed to a high Government
official"
It appeared clear from the
comments of Mr.. Nixon and top
Republican congressional lead
ers that they have joined in
these two steps:
First. to tell the American
people and Congress the need OF
preventing the fall of South
east Asia to Communist rule.
Second. to add their own warn
ings to those uttered by Gen
Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles
directed to the Kremlin and Red
China, that this country will not
sit by and watch a piece-meal
gobbling up of the Still-free ma
tons in Asia.
Believe French Will Stay.
In this move to inform the
country and the rest of the Worlo
regarding United States policies
Vice President Nixon and Sen
ator Knowland of California. Re-
publican leader of the Senate
are playing important roles.
Senator Knowland said it wa
conceivable" but improbable
that the United States nigh
eventually have to dispatch mill
tary forces. But he expressed
confidence that Gen. Eisenhowe
would ask Congress approval be-
fore taking such step.
Senator Knowland said nj
own personal conviction is tina
the policy of the United State
should be to use its forces-evel
ground forceS-if necessary.
Both Mr.. Nixon and Senate
Knowland expressed a hope tina
a greatly expanded war in Indo
China would not be necessar
and a belief that the Frenc
Union forces would prevail. No
do they believe the French wi
pull out.

Elena Nikolaidi, the Greek con-
tralto who has made an enviable
reputation for herself the last
few years in the United States
in opera and the concert hall
showed last night that her mag
niflcently rich and resonant
voice can fill the vast stretches
of Constitution Hall with little
apparent effort.
1t is difficult to describe the
Nikolaidi voice, for it has a COW
cred, almost nasal, timbre all its
own. She sings with a continuous
slight portamento, rounding of
the edges of her notes which is
not at all a sign of careleSsness
as it might be in less polished
singers. but characteristic of
her style. In the rhapsodic Greek
folksongs. the Faure, and posi-
bly, the Wolf 'Mignon," this
style is convincing; it does not
seem right for Mozart or for
Schubert's ''Ungeduld." heard
as an encore.
The power. control and dra-
matte intensity of Nine. Niko-
laidi's vocal projection are re-
markable. Diction is clear and
natural. There is a tendency.
perhaps due in part to the size
of the hall, for the last two or
three notes of a rapid passage
to be completely lost.
That Nine. Nikolaidi would be
especially captivating not only to
hear but to see in opera was evil
dent last night from the varied
and subtle expressiveneSS of her
stage presence which compile
mented her singing.
A new token of admiration was
introduced by one of the singers

live white dove attached to a
bouquet presented to Nine. Niko-
daidi on the stage.

Christmas Decorations Are Needed

was gathering steam last week and every
citizen should make an effort to endorse
this movement.
We are virtually certain that everyone
is aware of the need to add some color to
Tabor City during the Christmas season. A

year but now is the time to make plans for
this year. Two weeks from now we will
again fall into the 'too late" category.
Most of the emphasis is being placed
on obtaining decorations for the business
