U. Alexis johnson, United

UnderSecretary.
The American diplomat was
scheduled to move right in on
the difficult East West negotia-

stages of deadlock for nearly
three months. A meeting with
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden and French Premier
Pierre Mendes-France was called
for the early afternoon at the
French Premier's villa.
Sort Out Proposals.
Members of the French, British
and Soviet delegations met early
today to sort out the various
proposals and counter-proposals
made in the bargaining. Mr..
Eden was meeting with Red Chi
nese Foreign Minister Chou En-
lai as Gen. Smiths plane landed.
Gen. Smith was accompanied
by Herman Phleger, legal adj
wiser of the State Department,
and a small group Of State De-
partment experts.
This evening Mr.. Mendes-
France. Mr.. Eden and Soviet
Foreign Minister v. M. Molotov
will meet again to continue the
three-hour meeting last night
which resulted in the lack of
agreement which has character
lied this conference from the
beginning.
Gen. Smith will not attend the
evening meeting. He was ex-
cluded apparently to avoid the
protocol problems involved. Mr..
Molotov in the past has always
insisted on inviting Red China S

were proposed and the United

to have Federal backing.
The apartments occupancy
repeatedly has built up to about
300, but the additional 100-plus
units have not been taken.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER said current
rents at the apartment are
$67.75 to $77.75 for efficiencies;
$89.75 for one-bedroom units
with an So discount for pay
ment by the fifth of the month";
and $125.50 for two-bedroom
units.
If the mortgage assignment
goes through as expected, FILA
will pay off its guarantee to the
insurance firm in the form OF
debenture bonds, bearing going
Government interest rates.
Two Courses Of Action.
The FILA. officials said, Their
would have two possible courses
OF action. It could:
l. Work o,it an arrangement
with the present owners for con-
tinued operation of the apart
ment under new conditions. In
this event, the present owners
would get no return from the
project.
2. Foreclose on the note. In
this event. FILA could either put
the apartment in the hands of a
new management firm--with the
hope of a later sale-or seek
another buyer Immediately.

answer a real problem of the
Negro race in the Capital, partic-
ularly the problem of Negroes

Federal officials believe the

by other investment groups as

ernment's investment - the
agency is expected to make a
strong effort to pull it out of
the fire.

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star.

GENEVA, July 17.-For the
grim and white-faced world lead
ers confronting each other over
map-covered tables. the closing
phase Of this conference boils
down to pure test of nerve.
The allied camp today is suf-
fering from a case of filters. AS
the hours crawl by. each new
bulletin tells the same story of
mo progress" The Communists
with just two more days to go,
are talking tougher than ever.
Russian Foreign Minister Molo-
toy is back in command of the
Red team and the master Com
munist cardplayer is playing the
game out to the bitter end.
AS they face up to the pos
sibility of failure, each of the
Western leaders has his own pri-
vate worries. Even the Amer
leans, playing a strictly limited
role in the final negotiations, are
deeply concerned. The danger is
that the United States may yet
be put into the position of
"torpedoing" the conference.
Undersecretary of State Walter
Bedell Smith returns to Geneva
under instructions not to sign a
joint armistice guarantee. The
Communists could well use this
as a pretext for refusing to sign
themselves and pin the respon-
sibility on the United States.

French Premier Mendes-
France. who is carrying the ball

Communists may not take his

Housing Administration it in
tends to return for payment a
Government-insured mortgage
on the swank Rhode Island
Plaza, 413-unit inter-racial
apartment at 1900 Rhode Island

FILA officials said failure to

been responsible for a failure
to meet mortgage payments.
The original mortgage was for

present size is something over

Martin SCHNEIDER, an official
of the owner firm, Rhode Island,
Inc, declined to discuss details
of the forthcoming transaction,
but added:
New York Life has made every
effort to cooperate in attempt
ing to make go of the project.
We know that whatever will be
worked out will be for the benefit
of the minority group"
Action Is Confirmed.
Thomas C. Barringer, FILA dis
trict director for this area, con-
firmed that New York Life has
sent "a letter of intention to as
sign the mortgage to FILA" He
stressed that the assignment has
not yet been made and that FILA
has reached no policy decision
on what its course of action will
be.
The luxury apartment opened
in May, 1852, mainly for Negro
occupancy. Since a year ago,
however, it has been an inter-
racial project and the own
ers have been putting more en-
phasis on mixed occupancy.
FILA, from the start, regarded
the project as an important ex-

factory caused 10 known deaths
yesterday. Three persons are
believed missing. More than so
persons were hurt and five re-
manned in hospitals.
A special State police team got
ready to comb the ruins of the
Kent Manufacturing Co.'S plant
to see If there were any more
dead.
Clear Three Block Area.
A three-block area was cleared
Py civil defense workers. The
residents moved into other parts
OF this small Eastern Shore
town. A sound truck stood by
to give the all-clear.
The Army demolition teams
from Aberdeen Proving Ground
started first with less dangerous
explosives, such as fireworks and
detonator caps.
They hauled the stuff to an
area known as the sand pits"
about a half mile from town,
and set it afire. There was little
noise.
The explosives experts then
prepared to take care of stocks
OF lead ABIDE. a dangerous nitro
glycerin compound. They in
tended to neutralize this by
dunking it in water and oil.
Col. Harry S. Russell, director
OF civil defense, reported no in
cldents at all in the evacuation
from around the plant.
Plan Exhaustive Search.
Corpl. Walter Kulley, heading
a special police detail, said an
exhaustive search will be made
OF the ruins, and it probably
would not be completed until
nightfall.
Red Cross officials, making a
check of names, feared there
might be -four or five" of the
factory's 275 workers still miss
ing. However, the list was mar
roWed when two women, Doro-
thy and Beulah Grimes, called
the Kent County News this
morning from their home in
Stevensville, about 20 miles away.
Agents of the Federal Bureau
OF Investigation and Army In
telllgence worked along with the
demolition teams, seeking a clue
TO what touched off the blasts.
Traced to Fuses.
Philip G. Wilmer, president of
the company and mayor of
Chestertown, said today the
cause of the explosions had been
definitely traced to the "B'
building where M-80 fuses were
being revoked at the request of
the Government.
I'VE learned the story from
Miss Fannie Robbins, one of the
injured workers." Mr.. Wilmer
said. "She was interviewed last

Miss Robbins said she had lust

drying.
"As the object moved through
the tunnel, it exploded. This set

swept through other fuses and
finally led to boxes of fuses

chain of explosions reached that
point, the building went up,"
Mr.. Wilmer said.
