quoted as having said:

Symington Quotes Star.
Commenting on the speech,
Senator Symington continued:
1.-THE able. independent and
fact-flnding Washington Evening
Star has had something to say
about that false blast from a
member of the Presidents cabi-
net against many Democrats
whose only fault lay in the fact
they had resigned of their own
free will, or had been trans
ferred, or had been discharged
automatically by reductions in
force" or had died.
THE Star said:
1.-THE link between "2, 200" and
treason" seemed. in the context
OF the address, to be quite direct.
And it was inaccurate to say that
none of the 1900 was using up
your tax money" since some
were known to be still on Gov

in jail and fined 500 each in
Fairfax Trial Justice Court for
contributing to the delinquency
Of q 16-year-old boy who died
January 80 after a drinking
spree.
Trial. Justice Robert Fitzgerald,
who found the two guilty, said
they had not been on trial for
killing the young boy. "but just
as sure as you're sitting there
you contributed to his death"
Convicted of the charges were
Guy Leslie Stats, jr., Is, and
Sam 30 Fincham, 10. Judge
Fitzgerald suspended II months
of the one-year jail terms say
ing he hoped 80 days in jail
will be enough to let you know
what 1t looks like so you won't

Decision Appealed.
Stats and Fincham both ap-
pealed.i
Fairfax County police placed
the delinquency charges after
the boys brought Bruce Poland,
16, of Vienna, to Arlington Hos
pital the night of January 80.
Bruce was pronounced dead on
arrival
Police still are awaiting final
pathological tests to determine
what caused the boys death. A
preliminary examination estab-
lishment that he did not meet
death through violence. Diabetes
may have been a cause. doctors
reported after preliminary au-
topsey.
Harry Knicely, II, of Vienna,
testified that he and the Poland
boy went to Washington Janu-
airy 80 with Stats and Fincham.
He said Stats drove and when
they got to Washington Fincham
bought a fifth of whisky. He said
they drank from the bottle. Later.

Mr.. Colin estimated that there
must be an increase Of about
$40 billion in private purchases
this year If We are Ito achieve
the desirable economic growth"
He added that the country
should not be satisfied if con-
sumner income and expenditure

Mr.. Colin pointed out that
most of the administrations tax
reform proposals are aimed at
production incentives for busi-
ness. The program fails to give
adequate consideration to re-
duction of taxes which affect
consumer income. such as the in
dividual income and payroll tax:
and those which affect costs and
prices, such as the transportation
tax and EXERCISES" he said.
Optimism Expressed.
In a more optimistic vein, Al
bert w. Zelomek. president of
the international Statistical Bu-
reau, said there was nothing in
the present outlook to indicate
that the country was headed fer
a major economic decline. There
is, he said, evidence that there
will be a business pickup later
this year.
He said economic factors were
such that there could be no ma
jor depression at this time and
that it is unlikely that a dip in
business activity could be as Sc
we're as that in 1859.
Other experts told the COM
mittee yesterday that business
was in the middle of a gentle
downswing" that probably will
continue for some months but
would level off at not too far
under the all-time peak business
year of 1858.
Consensus of the experts was
that the general outlook for in
vestment this year is good-not
so favorable as last year-but
perhaps better than any year
previous to 1858.

Qualified informants gave this
outline Of the secret session: Mr..
Dulles told Mr.. Molotov the
United States would have moth
ing to do with his proposal for a
f1ve-power conference, including
Red China, for a general discus
sion Of world peace. Mr.. Molo-
TOW proposed that two weeks ago.
Mr.. Dulles called for action to
break the deadlock at Panmun-
JON on a peace conference be-
tween the Communists and the
United Nations.
Mr.. Bidault spoke in a more
conciliatory way. although what
he proposed was agreed Western
policy. He said Red China must
offer proof Of good faith If the
way is to be cleared for Indo-
China peace talks. He suggested
two possible lines Of action:
First, Red China should CO.
operate in setting UP a Korean
peace conference and getting it
started successfully in it's work.
Second, some other evidence OF
good faith might be furnished
And in this respect Mr.. Bidault
suggested the Reds could stop
sending guns, supplies and war
goods to the rebel forces of Com
munist Ho Chi Mini in Indo-
China.
Mr.. Bidault said that II China
would do one of these two things,

U. 5. Attorney Calls
AfEase Officials for
Informal Hearing

The organizers and Of1cerS or
an apartment construction pro-
ject have been summoned by the
United States Attorneys Office
for an informal hearing at 3
pm. Friday.
Assistant United States At
torney Alexander L. Stevas said
he had asked the officers to
bring records for a look into the
financial structure of the group,
known as Residence AtEase AS
ISOLATION. Inc, with offices at
1920 New York avenue NV.
Mr.. Stevas said he believed
some Of the associations mem
bers, some of whom have with
drawn. will appear for the hear
ing.
Sold 500 Memberships.
The associations technical
adviser, A. Sherman Vickers,
said about 500 memberships at
$50 each have been sold to
Washington people as a prelim-
mary step toward construction
Of an apartment building.
Mr.. Stevas said the Govern
ment wished to learn details of
the plan to see whether the
group had "misused its corporate
charter"
The Government, for one thing,
wishes to learn why a financial
report for 1853 was not filed with
the Recorder of Deeds Office as
required. Mr.. Stevas said. Mr..
Vickers told a newsman that the
report had been sent to the re-
corder, and he had assumed it
was received.
Most Of the members Of the
association. who have paid a
total Of $4,000. are represented
to him as middle-aged women,
Mr.. Stevas said.
Promise Apartment.
The memberships are sold with
the promise of an apartment in
the building to be constructed,
with rental Of about $3.50 a
month.
Mr.. Vickers said the $50 fee
entitled one to a life member
ship. but would not be applied
on actual construction of the
building or for the purchase of
land.
Mr.. Vickers said that, while
the plans for the building or
site have not been developed, an
effort is being made to gain ap-
proval of Federal Housing Ad-
ministration for insuring a
mortgage.

FILA officials said Residence
AtEase Association, Inc, had
filed application for processing
Of two project analyses in De-

$4,000 was put up by the group
to cover FHA's expenses. But
the association failed to meet
the requirements guaranteeing
permanent financing, and their
Statement Of eligibility" expired
in July. 1852. FILA said.
Mr.. Vickers said the associa-
ton hoped to expand the Detroit
applications to include Washing
ton. FILA said a representative
of the association had conferred
with FILA officials several times
about the Washington project,
but that nothing had been done
about filing for an application.
The $4,000 put up in Detroit
was retained by FILA as its fee
for processing the analyses and
it would now be necessary to
file an entirely new application,
FILA said.

Secretary of State Dulles ap-
parently has switched to negoti-
ations with Soviet Foreign Min
lister Molotov at Berlin in a new
approach to a peace settlement
in Korea.
With the situation at Pan
munjom in a seemingly hopeless
deadlock, these developments
indicated that Mr.. Dulles may
be taking this tack:
/. A denial by the State De-
partment yesterday that Arthur
H. Dean will be replaced as Pan
munjom negotiator.
2. Hints that some way may be
found for arranging a time, place

that MIR. Dean return to Pan

prevail to any. indicating he may
try a different maneuver.

and warned him that the
speeches being made by members
of his official family are not in
viting such cooperation.

burn struck back at Sherman
Adams, assistant to the Presi-
dent, for having said Saturday
that political sadists" are trying
to foist a Fear Deal" of on the

ment It found "heaps of evidence
Of the stupidity. the corruption,

4. Senator Gore, Democrat, of

with this reply to Senator Jen-
ner: This kind of thing is an
insult to the intelligence of the
American people. Deplorable as
such tactics are, they are likely
to have at least one good result

charging him with responsibility
for a pneumatic tube contract
in the New York City Post ONCE

Senator Morse said the Ameri-

Even for such talks, they are
said to be insisting on a prior

such as, cooperation In settling
Korea's future.
Thus, If the Communists were
willing, Mr.. Dulles might arrange
through Mr.. Molotov another
conference away from Panmun-
JONI to set UP a preliminary Ko-
rea peace conference. The Pan
munjom talks would quietly drift
into history.
Neither Can Yield.
Mr.. Dean walked out December

the Reds took back a charge of
"perf1dy" against this country.
The Korean and Chinese Com
munistS refused. The United
States. speaking for the 16 United
Nations allies who fought in Ko-
rea, insisted.
Because of prestige, neither
side can give in without losing
face. This is a serious matter
in the Orient.
The State Department has con-
sistently backed up Mr.. Dean,
who was Mr.. Dulles personal
choice as special ambassador.
and said yesterday:
There is no basis in fact for
