bubbly, breezy, Nancy Sp e k
keeps busy bustling about. Sew
en- days a week Nancy is busy
keeping house at their darling
new, white, green Shuttered
home at the very end of Char
don Avenue. It's a pre-engine-
cred house, especially dear to
the Speck'S hearts because they
did so much of the work them
selves. Carl put in the base
ment and foundation before
they were married last June.
Then on July 7th up went the
house in sections. Nancy can
tell you what came when and
went where she spent all her
time watching and has snap =
shots to prove it. First came
the floors, then walls, then cell
ing, then doors, then roof. Some
times there were as many as
Is men working at one time!
The day the floors were laid
Nancy went home for lunch. 1t
was hot day and so she made
lemonade and cookies to bring
back for the workmen b u t
they'd completed their work on
No wonder by July 10th, three
days later, they'd completed
their work on the house.
Then Nancy and Carl's work
began. They did all of the in
side, including mixing tn r
own paints. That was fun and
they are almost surprised by
the good results considering
their first attempt. When they
tried to mix coral for h e +
kitchen ceiling, it be a m e
orange. That pant can still re-

any orange paint around your
house? Strictly modern is the
keynote of the Speck's decorat-
ing theme blonde furniture,
unusual and interesting lamps,
vivid colors of chartreuSe, cor
al, shades Of green, gray. They
matched all these colors to their
livingroom drapes which Nancy
made herself. The only colors
they've used which are not
in the drapes are yellow for
it's brightness and a touch of
red for Nancy to enjoy be-
cause it's her favorite color.
Five days a week Nancy is
busy as a teacher. She has the
first grade at Warrensville
Heights and refers fondly to
my children. She really en-
joys teaching and it's obvious
she loves each and every one
of her little students. How
many? TWenty-seven. She lost

she was so sorry to see him
go.
Some nights during the week
Nancy is busy being a club
woman. She's the terrific chair

amazing us all by her pep and
energy. She's also a new
member of the Business and

Israel Projects Get
S39 Million u. ). Aid
BY the Associated Press

The United States has given
Israel $50 million in special aid
during the past four months
while allocating nothing to Arab
countries.
Informed officials who reported
this today attributed the lack OF
Arab ALLEGATIONS to failure of
their governments to devise spe-
cific projects which the United
States feels it could back.
The latest ALLEGATION to Israel
"a $13 million sum-was made
without publicity by the Foreign
Operations Administration, pre-
sumably to keep from upsetting
Arab governments which con-
tend Washington favors Israel
in economic aid.
LID 81 oAC, SOuplCu Will d
million ALLEGATION announced
last october %, boosted Israel'S
total to 500 million for the ifs
cal year which started July
with prospects that the final
figure will reach about $50 mil
lion.
The United States interrupted
the flow of economic assistance
to the Israeli government for
nearly a month because of Is
raePs refusal to halt a water
diversion project along the Jor-
dan as directed by a United
Nations commission.

Action Postponed
On Probe Of LIST
OF Security Firings

The Senate Post Office and
Civil Service Committee today
postponed action on a Demo-
cratic demand for an investiga-
ton into the list of 1900 alleged
security risks after being advised
that the Civil Service Commits
sion would issue a statement on
the matter at 4 pm.
Chairman Carlson said the
committee had unanimously
agreed to await details of the
forthcoming statement before
deciding what. if any, inquiry
should be made.
In letter to Senator Carlson
yesterday. the committee six
Democrats urged that the Civil
Service Commission "be thor
oughly Intercepted as to the
manner and methods used in
compiling the figures 1856 and
more than 1900 used by tbs
President in his statement to the
American people"
Chairman Carlson said the
subject already has been dis
cussed in committee and that he
is ir full accord with efforts to
get all the facts.
The White House and CSC
have been under pressure from
members Of both Houses and the
press for a breakdown of the
1900 figure.
The six Democratic Senators
recommended that the Senate
committee find out how many
actually were dismissed, how
many retired or resigned volun-
tarily and how many transferred
to other agencies.

For AtEase Probe

Assistance will be sought from
three Government agencies in
the informal investigation of a
low-cost apartment project
which has attracted about 500
Washington members. Assistant
United States Attorney Alexan-
der L. Stevas said today.
Mr.. Stevas said representa-

Service. Federal Housing Admin
istration and Post Office Depart
ment will be invited to attend
the next meeting of the inquiry
he has been conducting.
He has asked officials of the
Residence AtEase Association,
Inc. to bring in their records for
scrutiny. A. Sherman Vickers
technical adviser of the associa-
ton, agreed to turn over the
records after they have been
audited.
Mr.. Stevas said he expected
to hear from Mr.. Vickers by
February Is and would arrange
the next meeting date then.
The AtEase association and
related corporations have en-
listed members here and in De-
troit at $50 each as a preliminary
step to construction of tower
apartment buildings. Members
would be entitled to residence in
one-room apartments for as low
as $3.50 monthly.

S.Experts Find Woyto Make
Antidote for Nerve-Gus War

There is evidence that large
quantities of natural atropine
have been disappearing recently
behind the iron curtain" said
Dr.. Theodore G. Klumpp, presi-
dent of Winthrop-Stearns.
About 1000 pounds Of atropine
are used annually in this coun-
try. mostly as an anti-spasmodic
to relax muscles in treating gas
tro-inteStinal disorders and for
eye drops in eye examinations.
Work Done by Teams.
SyntheSis of the drug was
achieved by research teams of
Sterling Winthrop Research In
stitute. Rensselaer,, and Win
throp-Stearns, building on de-
velOpments by other scientists.
Sir Robert Robinson, British
Nobel-prize winner, first devel-
oped a laboratory method of
making it, but the cost was pro-
hibitive.
Then oil entered the picture,
with newer chemistry yielding
basic chemicals to make various
drugs. One such chemical was
made available by Carbide &
Carbon Chemicals Corp. Dr.. F..
F.. Blicke, University of Michigan
School of Pharmacy, devised a
method of using it to synthesize
tropic acid, which in turn yields
atropine.
These supplied the keys to
turn the British method into a
commercial. reasonably priced
pathway to atropine. Contrib
uting to its development were
DR.. R. F. Feldcamp, B. F.. Taul-
lar. w. F.. Veteran, Karl Brun-
ner, Richard ServiS, DR.. A. E.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE
life-saving antidote for nerve
gas war now can be made arti-
ficially, and there is already
enough to treat 400 million per-
sons, it was disclosed today.
The drug is atropine, until
now obtained only from plants
grown mostly in Iron Curtain
countries controlled by Russia.
The synthetic drug. made
with chemicals from petroleum,
frees this country from depend
ence on foreign supplies.
Synthetic production of afro
pine is announced by Winthrop
Stearns. Inc. of New York City
and Rensselaer,. N. Y.
Nerve gas blocks or paralysis
nerves, causing death unless
quickly counteracted. Atropine
is the best known antidote, for
it neutralizes the paralyZing
chemical in nerve gas.
$50 Pounds Supplied.
The firm has supplied 800
pounds of atropine for Defense
Department stockpiles. A life
saving dose is only 1/150th OF
grain of atropine sulfate. Thus
a single pound of atropine is
enough to treat more than
million persons. The drug car
be stockpiled, in ampules ready
for injection, at strategic loca-
tions for military or civilian use
Atropine is obtained naturally
from atropa belladona and da-
tura stramonium. The biggest
producers of these plants are
CZechoslovakia. Hungary. Bull
garia. Romania and Yugoslavia
with some now beginning to be
grown in Australia.

many and Austria will surely
grow.
In the case of Austria q second
argument is made that implies
at least lack of candor on the
part of the West. 1t is sug-
gested that agreement by the
Allies to all Russian amendments
in the present draft treaty
amounted to no more than
gesture designed to throw all of
the blame for disagreement on
the Soviets. Before making it
say the critics. the Western
ministers made perfectly sure
that their impressive concession
would be turned down by Mr..
Molotov.
There may be, Of course.
certain validity about both of
these arguments. A number of
eminent authorities. including
British Prime Minister Church.
i'll, apparently believe that Moth
ing can so quickly torpedo the
chances of successful diplomatic
negotiation as the indicate
efforts of working newspapermen.
AS for the Austrian gambit, there
are certainly enough psychology
cal masterminds in the allied
camp to have dreamed up some
thing of the sort.
On the other hand, it is hard
to see where a common meeting
ground on Germany could be
found between Eastern and
Western interests. even in the
most clandestine tete-a -tete.
which would not violate the ele-
mentary principles of interna-
tional politics. And there
is a strong impression of genuine
disappointment among the West
ern delegates in the Austrian
case.
At best one must suspect that
criticism of the Allies appearing
in the German Socialist press
and neutralist French publica-
tons is inspired more by polit-
ical motives than by accurate
appraisal of what has happened
here in the last few weeks. AS
the American public has some
reason to know. good politics
is not always the same thing
as good sense. and one way or
another the Berlin conference
will provide the basis for more
partisan argument in, Europe in
the months to come.

Democrats Defeated
On Move 10 Block
Taft Act Revision =
By james Y. Newton

The House Labor Committee
today defeated a Democratic
move to postpone consideration
of revision of the Taft Hartley
Act and decided to start writing
a revision bill next week.
BY a vote of Is to 10. with
three Southern Democrats sid
ing with the Republicans, the
committee beat down a motion
which would have prevented the
House from considering at this
session the Eisenhower admins
tration's program for changing
the labor relations law.
Committee Chairman McCon-
nell of Pennsylvania said his
group would begin writing the
Taft-Hartley revision bill Feb
ruary "a.

tee established a nine-member
subcommittee for a thorough in

Three Democrats, Representa-
tives Barden of North Carolina,
Landrum of Georgia and Lucas
voted with the Republicans in de-
feating the move to postpone any
Taft-Hartley Act changes till
next year.
Motion Made by Bailey.
The motion had been made by
Representative Bailey, Democrat,
Of West Virginia who said he
was afraid the House would come
up with a revision bill more
restrictive of labor union activ-
tiles than is the present act.
Mr.. Bailey predicted today the
committee would approve "a
very tough bill" one that would
go far beyond President EiSen-
hower's program for IA changes
in Taft-Hartley.

Red Proposal Puts
Squeeze on France
Al Berlin Conference
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Feb. ia new
Soviet squeeze play on Korea
and the Indo-China war de-
veloped in the Big Four Berlin
conference today. 1t compelled
French Foreign Minister Bidault
to ask his Paris government for
new instructions.
The nature of the new Russian
move was not disclosed. 1t oc-
CURED in the fifth secret meet
ing of the Foreign Ministers at
Soviet Embassy this morning.
Mr.. Bidault, very perturbed"
when the meeting broke up,
asked his government for guild
ance, an official source disclosed
The Big Four were comforting
in secret primarily about Soviet
Foreign Minister Moltov's reso-
luton for a Big Five parley. in
Guiding China. The West has
refused to admit the Peiping
government as a great power in
such talks but comedies it should
sit around the same table as
other powers when specific
Asiatic subjects come up.
Aim at Korea Talks.
The aim of the West was to
get Mr.. Molotov to use his in
f1uence to revive the stalled Ko-
rean peace talks first of all. The
principal goal of the French,
however, is to do something
about ending the Indo-Chinese
war. If Mr.. Molotov has def
nitely consented to interceding
in Indo-China in exchange for
full recognition for Peiping, Mr..
Bidault may have been put in
an extremely difficult position.
Meanwhile officials of the
United States. Britain and
France worked on the draft of
a communique which may be
issued jointly here py Secretary
Dulles. British Foreign Secre-
tary Eden and Foreign Minister
Bidault of France.
American informants indi-
Gated they did not expect a
communique in which Russia
would join. They said there was
no more reason to consider
agreement possible on a COM
munique than on anything else
here.
Would Reduce Barriers.
Western ministers were also
working on proposals for reduc-
ing restrictions between the So
Wet zone and Western zones IF
Germany and in divided Berlin
Presumably action would have
to be taken on this proposal this
afternoon. There was some hope
Mr.. Molotov might cooperate,
since he obviously wants an in
crease in trade between East anC
West.
AS the conference schedule
now stands, discussion on an Aus
trian independence treaty may
be brought up in the last session
tomorrow, but Mr. Dulles and
his advisers think there is NJ
chance Mr., Molotov will reverse
his position and agree on a
treaty which would mean prompt
withdrawal of all foreign forces
from Austria.
