A new trick being used effective
" by fashionable women this year
is combining gold and silver jewel
ry. A woman may wear a silver
necklace with its twin in gold, one
silver and one gold earring, an
armload of bracelets in both metals.
It looks new and smart.
In costume jewelry, the sky's the
limit. Any woman would like sew
eral ropes of gay fake jewels in
different cOlOrs, to wear all at once,
or half-a-dozen inexpensive brace
lets to make a gay splash with a
black dress, or really splashy big
rhinestone pin, to wear on a lapel.
It's easy to flatter a woman with
jeWelry, whether you spend 81 or
$1,000.

Of the applicants in recent years
have been Jews and most of them
were rewarded with rejection
slips, and in most instances on the
flimsiest of excuses. In some case
naturalization papers were turn
ed down because Investigators
discovered the applicants were
speaking Yiddish. In some cases
the rejection was based on the
ground that the applicants were
found to be members of the Zion

those instances was that the ap-
plicants were not qualified for
official absorption because they
were not sufficiently assimilated.

US. Top Jet Ace Dies When Chute Fails to Open

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., R-Death on a routine test flight has ended the spectacular career of Capt. Joseph Mcconnell Jr., the nations 1eadino int aca.
 The 32-year-old pilot, credited with downino 1e Mios in Korea, was killed Wednesday when his F-S6 Sabre jet crashed on the Moiave Desert, 12 miles northeast of Rogers Lake.
 His body was found beside his election seat. half mile from the shattered plane. Nearby was his unopened parachute. An Air Force spokesman said apparently he had elected himself from the plane at low altitude.
 During the flight Mcconnell had radioed that he had lost con- troI of the plane partially, but thought he could make a landing on the dry lake bed. Soon there after he reported he had lost the cockpit canopy. He was advised to bail out. Edwards Base officials said he probably stayed with the plane too long.
 Mcconnell, who said his pre- maturely gray hair came from being the father of three young children and not from his flying, served as a bomber-navigator during World War IT and later took flight training.
 After the fighting broke out in Korea he repeatedly requested combat duty despite being told he was too old. His request was granted and he became an ace in just 30 days last year. He named his Sabre e'Beauteous Butch," nickname for his wife, and shot down his first Mig-15 on Jan. IA, and his fifth on Feb. 16.

Restrictions on US. Trade With Russia Based By Commerce Dept.

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of Commerce Weeks Thursday eased restrictions on US. trade with the Soviet Union and other Communist countries of Europe, but he said he doubts there will be an early increase in the flow of goods across the Iron Curtain.
 Commerce Department sources said Weeks order would reduce by one-third to one-half the list of goods now banned from com- merce between the United States and the Red bloc in Europe.
 The announcement dealt only with po1icy-the Commerce De- partment is to make public later lists of specific items to be freed from embargo.
 Weeks move came day after foreign aid chief Harold E. Stas- sen announced a similar relaxa- ton of curbs on Red trade of friendly nations getting aid from the United States.
 Both officials said existing re- strictions still stand on trade with Communist China, North Korea, or the Communist area of Viet Nam.

No Objection 10 Morse 5
Independent Label Seen
BY The Assoeio,ed Press

Oregon's Senator Morse, who
broke from the Republicans two
years ago and campaigned heav-
lily for Democrats in the recent
election, can wear his Independ-
ent Party designation as long as
he desires, Senate sources said
today.
That Senator Morse might be
required to change his party af-
filiation had been suggested in
some quarters because of his
campaign activities, his decision
to move his seat to the Demo-
cratic side of the Senate and the
recent announcement by Senator
johnson. Democrat, of Texas
that the Democrats will be re-
sponsible for Senator Morse's
committee assignments in the
next session.
Senate aides, however, said
there is nothing in Senate rules
concerning how an individual
member shall designate his party
afflliation. Seating arrangements,
they added, are a matter of
agreement among party leaders.
Assignment of Senator Morse
to committees by the Democrats,
they said, would be following
Senate practice whereby the ma
Jority party assumes response
bility for the committee positions
OF splinter party members.

Eisenhower Appears
For Early Approval
OF Asia Defense Pact

President Eisenhower today
asked the Senate for early rati-
fication of the Southeast Asia
Defense Treaty as an i'm
portant link in the collective
security of the free nations Of
Southeast Asia and the Pacific"
The pact, signed by the United
States and seven other nations
at Manila September 8, was
described by the President in a
special message to the Senate
as "a treaty for defense against
both open armed attack and
internal subversion."
It provides that aggression
against any of the pact mem
bers. or any territory they des-
ignate unanimously would be
met by each member ''in ac-
cordance with it's constitutional
processes" as a common danger
Other Signatories.
Besides the United States, the
nations signing treaty were Aus
tralia. France, New Zealand,
Pakistan, the Philippines, Thai
land and Great Britain.
In submitting the pact to the
Senate today for ratification,
Gen. Eisenhower said:
"The treaty is designed to pro-
mote security and peace in
Southeast Asia and the South
western Pacific by deterring
Communist and other aggres-
sion in that area. It is a treaty
for defense against both open
armed attack and internal sub
version.
Included in the treaty is an
understanding on behalf of the
United States that the only
armed attack in the treaty area
which the United States would
regard as necessarily dangerous
to our peace and security would
be a Communist armed attack"
Dulles Report Sent Along.
Along with the treaty, the
President transmitted to the
Senate a report from Secretary
of State Dulles recommending
that three provisions IN the
treaty calling for unanimous
agreement" in applying some of
its terms should be understood
in each case as requiring consent
of the Senate for United States
agreement.
Mr. Dulles said American par
ticipation in the treaty will not
mean any material changes" in
this country's military planning
because it's plans already "call
for maintaining at all times
powerful naval and air forces
in the Western Pacific capable
of striking at any aggressor by
means and at places Of our
choosing"
