the architects said:
This house was designed to
be enjoyed by a family which
likes the country and doesn't
wish to feel shut in while in
side the house. The view to
the northwest, and the need
for privacy from the street to
the south, dictated the way
the house was placed on the
site. Interior interest and va
riety were sought in the design

rangement of space and light"

in her bed. y
Over defense objections, photo
graphs of the pillow were pro-
jected on q screen for the jury.
The imprint appeared to be made
by an instrument with a handle
and two short cutting blades that
met together like a claw.
Sheppard Watches Slides.
DR.. Sheppard viewed the pro-
ceedings with obvious intense
interest. He beckoned to his
brother and fellow osteopath, DR..
Stephen Sheppard, at the rear
of the courtroom to move over
to look at the screen.
Then DR.. Sheppard himself
turned around and concentrated
intently on the slide.
Defense Counsel William j.
Corrigan conceded during a re-
cess it was the first time he knew
the prosecution had anything
like this instrument theory. The
weapon used to kill Mrs. Shep-
pard never has been found.
"I'm not startled or alarmed
by it," Mr. Corrigan told a re-
porter.
DR.. Gerber testified that after

President Says Peace
Lies in Understanding
Other Nations Woes
Arms BuiIdup Isn't
Solution, He Tells
Lund- Grant Educators

President Eisenhower told an
audience of educators today that
the hope of a lasting peace lies
more In mutual understanding
between peoples than in the
buildup of war materials.
There is no aspiration, no
dream on the horizon of mans
hopes and beliefs and faith that
lis so strong $50 vivid as the dream
of peace-lasting peace Gen.
Eisenhower told a convention Of
the Association of Land Grant
Colleges and Universities at the
Hotel Statler.
He said many things must be
understood and done if we are
to make progress toward lasting
peace. Americans must make a
sincere effort at the grass roots
to understand the history and
trials of those who misinterpret
our actions. Without naming
Russia, he made it clear that he
was referring to that nation.
Cites Need for Morality.
He said there must be morality
in international relations and
warned that guns and tanks and
other materials of war can only
protect what we have at the
moment and cannot aid in the
effort to raise the spiritual and
intellectual standards Of the
world, the means through which
lasting peace will be achieved.
Peace is not primarily in
the hands Of elected political
leaders" Gen. Eisenhower said.
.It is in the hands Of the family,
the home, the church and the
school,
Notes Broadening Of Education.
The President applauded the
law which gave birth TO land
grant colleges in 1862 which he
described as q period when
higher education was confined
largely to the classics He said
the practical side of our edu-
cation had been neglected for
q long time but the act brought
/ Il practical streak to our educa-
tion.
He said the sponsor Of the
act wanted to bring higher edu-
cation closer to the people at

Britain Joins
U. 5. in Offering
Material
Will Add A Pounds
TO American 20
For Scientific Use
BY ihs Assceiaied Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Nov. 16.-Britain joined the
United States today In earmark-
ing a quantity of atomic materi-
al for use under President Eisen-
hower's atoms for-peace pro-
gram to build experimental
reactors in other countries.
British Minister of State An
thony Nutting told the General
Assembly's 60-nation Political
Committee that Britain had al
located 20 Kilograms IA pounds)
of fashionable material to be
added to the 22O pounds set aside
by the United States yesterday.
The announcement came as
United Nations delegates hailed
the United States move as the
biggest step forward since Pres
ident Eisenhower first conceived
his plan to use atomic energy for
peaceful purposes.
Meanwhile, Russia and the
Western delegates continued
private talks on a series of So
Wet amendments to q seven
power resolution outlining plans
for an international agency
which will handle the distribu-
tion of the fashionable materials.
Main Change Rejected.
Informed quarters indicated
the Western countries had
turned down the main Soviet
amendment Ito place the agency
under the Security Council,
where Russia has the veto.
United States Chief Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., how
ever, expressed confidence that
the seven-power resolution still
might be approved by a unani-
NOUS vote in substantially its
present form. This leaves the
exact relationship of the U. N.
and the agency to be determined
by negotiations, but suggests that
The two be linked in the same
manner as the q. N. and its
specialized agencies.
Informed sources said the fis-
sionable material offered esti-
mated to be enough to make at
least one atomic bomb would
provide enough fuel to run 80 or
30 new reaetors. Frances atomic
Spokeman. Jules Moch, said
there now are 80 reactCrs in ex-
istence outside Russia and her
satellite nations.
Quick Action is Surprise.
Mr.. Lodge had announced No
svember 5 that the United States
stood ready to conclude bilateral
agreements with other nations
to furnish fashionable materials
for atomic reactors. But few
delegates here thought Wash
ington would act so quickly.
In a terSe aside to Russia S
Andrei Vishinsky - who had
charged that the United States
had narrowed down" the scope
of Eisenhower's original plan
Mr.. Lodge voiced hope that the
United States offer would ''once
and for all remove from the mind
OF all any confusion as to how
specific the United States atoms
for-peacs proposition really is.'

NIlduIIldLl Wdth1lo VI vllC oPO
cial censure committee told the
Senate today that he felt more
sorry for Senator Mccarthy than
indignant over attacks the Wis
consin Republican has made on
him.
Senator Watkins took the Sem
ate floor for a speech that was
billed in advance as his answer
to charges Senator McC Carthy has
made in fighting the effort to
censure him.
Speaking dispassionately. the
Utah Republican told the Senate
that when Senator Mccarthy at
tackled him he was also attack
ing you, because = am your
agent"
Reads News Story.
Senator Watkins read a news
story from Milwaukee last Sat-
urday quoting Senator McCar-
thy as describing some of the
special committee chairman's
conduct as "cowardly" and
stupid"
"I suppose I should be indig-
nant," Senator Watkins said.
"But I feel more sorry for the
junior Senator from Wisconsin
than indignant. 1t tMcCarthy's
remark), reveals an attitude that
has characterized the junior Sem
ator from Wisconsin for some
time"
The special committee chair
man added that mo one likes to
be called a coward" But he said
that Senator Met cCarthy has said
some worse things about the
Senate committee that inveSti-
gated his finances two years ago.
Calling it dishonest" was the
basis of one of the ceilSure
charges under consideration.
Senator Mccarthy was not
present as Senator Watkins be-
gan his speech.
Notes silence on Funds.
Senator Watkins reviewed
some of the questions regarding
Senator McCarthy's finances
which an elections Subcommit-
tee asked the Wisconsin Repub-
lican in 1851 and 1852. He point
ed out that Senator Mccarthy
had refused to answer the ques-
Ntions.
"I don't believe there is
another member of this body"
the special committee chairman
continued. who would have re-
fused TO have gone before that
committee when his honor and
integrity was at stake"
Again noting that Senator
Mccarthy had called him
coward, Senator Watkins pointed
out that the Wisconsin Repub-
lican was not under oath when
he referred to the elections sub
committee as dishonest" He
made the remark in a letter to
the committee chairman.

X a
The white haired Senator
Watkins said the questions raised
by the Elections subcommittee
were serious and added there was
only one man who could clear
them up-Senator Mccarthy
himself.
I'm not saying he was a
coward" he continued, "but why
didn't he go there to help the
committee answer the questions
that had arisen?"
The Utah Republican pointed
out that If Senator Mccarthy
thought the elections subcom-
mittee was dishonest" and
lacked jurisdiction there was a
way of handling that situation.
This was through a motion to
discharge the committee. Such a
motion Senator Watkins pointed
out, was offered at last on the
Senate floor by the subcommittee
