Their wives and their guests,

fashion show of the new Fall
season. ANY day is great day.
apparently at this time of the
year for a fashion show, they
figured.
The "Chatterettes" as the dis
taft member organization calls
itself saw fashions presented for
them in a show by Rizik's.
Prior to the luncheon served in
the clubhouse, punch was served
on the terrace. Chairman for the
luncheon event was Mrs. Edward
A. Wallace. Her committee in
cluded Mrs. George A. Mckee,
Mrs. B. j. tVierling, Mrs. w.
Windsor Domaine and Mrs.
Clifford A. Webb.
Styles for suburban living
were in the majority as the fash
ions were paraded for the more
than 800 women in the audience.
In the casual, comfortable and
attractive vein, Rizik's showed
numerous beautiful tweed coats,
suits. separates. cocktail and eve
ming clothes.
ALI were applauded by the au-
dience. They liked a baby blue
leather coat lined in alpaca, the
walking shorts that were sug-
gested for around-the-house and
golfing wear. A grey plaid kiltie
skirt for leisure timing drew a
few good looks from the women,
who though they themselves
might not wear the bonny fash
ion, envisioned it on their
daughters.
Short-cropped coats, the bet
ter to get in and out of the car,
proved interesting to any number
of the women in the coup. One
ensemble in black-brown broad
cloth had its chopped-off coat
trimmed with black Persian
lamb. The skirt was slim and
with it was worn a black wool
jersey top.
The suburban set liked the
peacock blue taffeta cocktail
dance-dress, a black long -sleeved
mat jersey dress with a taffeta
oversight lined in mauve. A ruby
red velvet coat for evening wear
with a sailor collar and a short
length was another favorite with
them.

Atoms for Peace

It is at least to mankind's credit
that it has not allowed itself to be
completely paralyzed by fear of the
atomic age. Not yet, anyway. A
faint CLEAN of hope that the world
may yet find some way to master
the atom before the atom masters
the world came in the United Ma
tions last Tuesday.
The Political Committee of the
General Assembly voted 900 for
President Eisenhower's plan to set
up an International Atomic Energy
Agency whose function would be to
spread the benefits from peaceful
uses Of atomic energy throughout
the world.
Andrei Vishinsky, the Soviet dele
gate who had worked with the West
in writing the uncommonly popular
resolution, died few hours before
the vote. His deputy cast the Krem-
lin AYE" Jacob Malik rushed to
New York from London to take over
the Russian delegation at the UN.
Before the IAEA becomes going
concern there will still be several
struggles with the Soviet Union over
membership and relationship to the
United Nations. But the power of
public approval, which Russia
showed it respected by its vote last
Tuesday, is counted on to carry the
Communists along,
The hope, which admittedly still
hangs by a very thin thread, is that
IAEA may eventually occupy SO
much Of the worlds nuclear science
and materials that military uses of
the atom-in fact, all war-will be
abandoned.
Meantime, whatever slight i'm
provement the IAEA exchange of
non-military atomic information and
materials may bring has at least

'Coreer' Bracket for
10000 Civil Servants

For Federal workers, the Korean
war will end January %. On that
date Government employees who
qualify will be given a solid hold on
their jobs.
Many of them have been working
for Uncle Sam since 1850, when
Congress approved a law prohibits
ing permanent appointments The
idea, of course, was to avoid adding
to the permanent rolls those hun
dreds Of thousands of persons hired
for the wartime period.
Now that Federal payrolls have
been shaken down to the peacetime
level, the time has come to resume
permanent appointments. Presi-
dent Eisenhower last week ordered
that indefinite" employees who have
worked for the Government three
years or more and who have passed
their civil service exams be rated
career" employees. Those with more
than one and less than three years,
who were hired off civil service rolls,
will have "career-conditional status,
and will automatically graduate to
career rank at the end of their third
year.
Any Government worker who does
not now rate career or career-indef-
mite status will have a chance to
qualify by taking civil service ex-
aminations and by serving out the
necessary time.
Some $4,000 persons in Washing
ton will get one of the new career
designations. Altogether, about 220,-
600 workers will get career status;
235,000 will make career conditional
and $4,000 will remain indefinite"

probably will give them their first
opportunity to test M. Mendes-
Frances strength. Star Foreign Cor
respondent Crosby S. Noyes reported
Friday that the very survival of the
government will be at stake.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was
still having political difficulties in
West Germany, last week. But his
personal position was not at stake.
State parliamentary elections, in
HesSe and Bavaria, are being held
today and the campaigns have
pointed up two areas where Aden-
auer policies are coming under fire:
/. The Saar agreements with
France, which the Federal cabinet
approved fortnight ago in spite of
abStentions by five members. The
Chancellor is accused Of giving too
much to the French.
2. Rearmament called for in the
Paris Agreements. In Bavaria, Herr
Adenauer's Minister of Defense,
Theodore Blank, went away bleed
ing after an attack by a gang of
draft-age Germans who aren't happy
about the prospect of being called
into military service. Herr Blank
has been symbol of militarism on
whom the growing ranks of German
neutralistS have concentrated their
wrath.
The Chancellor's Christian Demo-
cratic party has not backed away
from the rearmament issue in Hesse
or Bavaria, however. They have, in
fact, insisted on injecting foreign
policy issues where local politicians
would have preferred to exclude
them.
That is why the results in today's
elections will be important as
barometer of the Paris Agreements
popularity in the Federal Republic.

charge centering on his denial that
he had ever belonged to the Com

served one year, seven months and
nine days when he died. Under the

his indictment, Remington was a

Hiss and Remington never were

Europe

Indulging once again in his unusual
affinity for headlines, French Pre-
mier Pierre Mendes- France told the
United Nations General Assembly
in New York last Monday that the
West ought to be ready for a con-
ference with Russia next May. By
that time, he said, all the parlia-
ments involved should have ratified
the Paris agreements taking West
Germany into the North Atlantic
community.
Austria's Chancellor Julius Raab,
also In the United States, took news
Of the far-off deadline with a wry
grin and resigned what else?"
He came to Washington mainly TO
stir up sentiment here for new try
at getting Soviet Russia to acquiesce
in a peace treaty for Austria. He
conceded. of course, that it was more
important that Germany be firmly
in the Western camp before any new
dealings are entered into with Mos
COW.
President Eisenhower, we'll
known champion Of the middle way,
came up with a compromise Tues
day. He was still looking for evi-
dence in the form of deeds that
Russia is sincere, he said. An Aus
trian peace treaty, he added, would
be just the kind of Soviet deed
that would make M. Mendes-F Frances
proposed East-West conference at
tractive to him.
This had the effect of placing two
conditions on May meeting, either
among the Big Four alone or with
other interested nations repre-
sented: Cd The Paris Agreements
must be ratified; ca the Soviet
Union should give some evidence
of good faith, preferably by agree
ing at long last to an Austrian peace
treaty.
M. Mendes- France found on his
return to Paris in the middle of the
week that his countrymen generally
applauded his fine public relations

an important difference between
Justice Department recommends
tions and Southern wishes.
State officials sought what
amounted to "local option"-and
they thought in most cases the local
governments would opt to keep seq
regation indefinitely. The Justice
plan would let the local units do
the work, but the work would have
to result in reasonably quick inte-
grafton.
Southern reaction to the Justice
Department brief was expressed by
several Governors. Eugene Tall
madge of Georgia said he was glad
the administration was taking local
folks into consideration" but ne
added that segregation will not be
ended in Georgia at any time"

sippi said the administration was

Taken literally, his statement was a
forecast of the Supreme Court ruling

court-something Presidents almost
never do. But since the court itself

EniWetok so astonished the scien-
lists who made it-power and fall
out were unexpectedly devastating
that the whole question of ex-
ploding nuclear weapons is getting
another anguished reappraisal in
the National Security Council.
In way, the planners predica-
ment is grimly ironic. DR.. Robert
Oppenheimer, who had opposed
making the H-bomb when 1t was
in the planning stage, was recently
fired from Government service. The
new policymakers conceivably could
face the same kind of Judgment
after the fact in few years.
Three Questions
President Eisenhower and his ad-
ministration are haunted by three
disturbing questions:
l. Have enough A-bombs and H.
bombs already been exploded so that
the whole human race will slowly
be changed, or maybe wiped out?
2. Is mankind on the verge of a
much quicker suicide by relying so
heavily on nuclear weapons for de-
tense?
3. Until they know the answers
to the first two questions-and these
will not come soon-how can we
base our global policy on massive
retaliation with these Pathological
monsters?
While the scientists are wrestling
with the first two problems, Presi-
dent Eisenhower is playing for time
in the world power struggle. Occa-
sionally he drops broad hints about
our dilemma, such as, There is
no alternative to peace"
There is some hope that the
Kremlin is aware OF the worlds
peril. Premier Georgi Malenkov
made a remarkable statement last
year that nuclear war now has
come to mean "the end of civili-
zation."

Remington. Three non political
types were accused of completely in
the murder, which prison authors
ties said occurred when Remington
surprised the men ransacking his
quarters. All three were auto thieves:
two were alumni of the National
Training School for Boys at Bladens-
burg road and South Dakota avenue
NE. Murder charges were filed
against two Of them Thursday. and
against the third "a 17-year-old
boy) on Friday.
Remington and his three alleged
assailants apparently had a status
something like that of TRUSTEES.
They worked at night, rested by
day, and enjoyed more freedom Of
movement than most conyicts. This
freedom seems to have made the
Staying possible.
Representative Joel T. Broyhill,
Republican. Of Virginia said Friday
he planned to reintroduce a res
olution to investigate the Federal
prison system. Such a proposal.
introduced by Mr.. Broyhill and
Representative Pat Sutton, Demo-
crat, Of Tennessee, was bottled up
in the Rules Committee last Febru-
ary.
Though Mr.. Broyhill said condi-
tions were lax at Lewisburg, Fed
eral prison officials in Washington
denied that laxity had anything TO
do with the DEATH It was explained
that Remington had never ap-
preached prison authorities with q
request for more than routine pro-
lection. and that no reason existed
to believe he would be killed.

de-segregation had likely clue in
a brief filed by Attorney General
Herbert Brownell, jr., last week.
The court already has decided. Of
course, that schools must be in
tegrated racially. The question re-
naming is not whether, but how.
All interested parties were asked
by the Supreme Court to recommend
steps toward integration. Eleven
States filed statements Gall urging
some sort of gradualism). The Dis
trict OF Columbia asserted that,
integration being under way already,
no further steps were needed.
Last week the party which must
eventually enforce the high courts
order, the Department of Justice,
had its say. And because the
question OF enforcement is a tick
lish one, observers believed the court
would give great weight to the
Justice Departments recommends
tions.
Justices Proposal
Here were the recommendations:
. The Supreme Court should direct
inferior Federal courts to supervise
integration in their districts.
. Lower courts should order local
school officials to submit integration
plans within 80 days.
. The courts should hold hearings
to determine if the plans submitted
will integrate the schools as quickly
and smoothly as possible.
. The lower courts should modify
the plans if necessary and then
order them executed by the earliest
practicable date.
. Progress reports should be sub
mitted periodically by the school
officials.
o II no plan for integration is
drawn by local school officials, the
local court should order integration
to be accomplished at the beginning
OF the next school term.
. The Supreme Court should retain
Jurisdiction. should supervise the
lower courts and should issue further
orders as and if necessary.
It all added up, in a way, to what
a good many State politicians have
asked for-handling Of integration
