statements, plus the Presidents
own assertion to the French gov
eminent that American forces
would be retained in Europe as
long as the present Communist
threat exists, were interpreted
here as steps to encourage the
French government and to as
sure a firm united front on the
part Of the Western nations in
the coming Geneva Conference,
when they sit down with the
representatives of Soviet Russia
and Red China to discuss the
Korean peace and the situation
in Indo-China.
Senator Knowland ranged him
self sQuarely In support of Gen.
EiSenhower's assurance to France
and other members Of NATO
that American forces would be
retained in Europe as long as
they may be necessary there.
Il believe the President has
re-emphasized what has been
the established American policy
to help maintain the free world"
he said. "He has pointed out
the Importance Of other nations
part in NATO and the impor-
lance Of accelerating action on
EDO. No new policy has been
established by the President in
his statement. He has merely
REDEEMED what has already had
the approval Of Congress at the
time NATO was ratified"
Warning to Allies.
Senator Knowland made it
clear the United States would
expect other allied nations to
play their full part if there is
to be outside intervention (by
the nations of the free world)
to prevent Indo- China's fall into
Communist hands.
The California Senator said
he believed the reaction of the
Congress and the American peo-
pie (to intervention in the Indo-
China war; would be to a con-
siderable extent influenced by
what other free nations would be
willing to do in providing as
sistance; whether they would be
willing to take part. I feel they
would not be satisfied with hav-
ing this country assume 80 per
cent of the burden as it did in
Korea"
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, told re-
porters he did not believe that
American troops would ever have
to be used in Indo-China.
Doubt Ground Force Need.
Senator Knowland in saying
he did not believe that the
French forces would withdraw,
added:
Even in that improbable
event I do not think the use
of American ground forces would
be necessary. There is ample
manpower in Southeast Asia to
meet the Communist threat, if
supported by air and sea forces
of other nations. ~
But no person should be un-
der the illusion that. once the
flag is committed by sea or air,
we will not have to be prepared
to take whatever steps are neces-
sary to carry out our mission.
This might require some land
forces. if only to help get allied
forces ashore"
Senator Knowland was asked
if he believed American partici-
patton in the Indo- China war
would lead to a third world war.
He replied he did not believe so:
that Soviet Russia would take
a long look at the situation and

Bedrooms
Use of fewer pieces to furnish

bed more important, finds Re-

returning fashion, offers a touch
of elegance which space won't
deny Then the use of benches at
the foot of beds offers another
fresh look as beds shed foot
boards.
Another development in the
furnishing of bedrooms, is the
tendency to play down the sleep
ing character and to stress the
sitting room character of the bed
room. The trundle bed recognizes
this trend as do individual metal
headboards which can be combin,
ed with distinctive case pieces and

group and thereby provide great

ed with home furnishings, is to
day one of the greatest assets OF
furniture design. In reviewing the
latest furniture offerings, the
fashion analysts of Retailing
Daily note that the homemaker
has freedom of style selection
with the gamut overwhelming
Styles demanding extra attention
include Italian Provincial and
Italian Directoire, in some in,
stances simplified in accordance
with the trend of traditional to
be less formal. Another style of
note is modern as it adopts more
Colonial characteristics.
Color
Color is news in furniture.
Tables, with surfaces striped in
several tones or frightened with
a single hue appear in thermoset
plastic as this material answers
the demand for color which is not
only chip proof but heat and stain
resistant.
And painted finishes return
with vigor. French designs in par
ticular adopt the painted finish,
and even floral decorations, to
provide fresh appeal to this fa-
miliar style. And the interest in
colored finishes rides the crest of
fashion into Directoire and even
into modern design Sometimes
the painted finish has a rough
texture, sometimes it's a lacquer
ed finish which is merely tinted
to provide the additional interest
of wood grain.
Versatile
Latest case pieces are designed
to be versatile, according to
Retailing Daily. In many instanc-
es these cases forego a one-room
character and prove adaptable to
living room, dining room and bed
room. There are cases which an
swer the problems of storing ia
bic leaves inconspicuously in
base sections. There are long,
long cases, some extending to Y
inches, with varied facade inter
est to break the long line.
There are also more case pieces
with piano-hinged doors, such
doors folding aside in a minimum
of space to give access to con-
tents and to disclose fitted inter
iors. And there are also higher
cases, either pieces which are a
single overweight unit or cases
with decks capitalizing on verti-
cal space and eliminating the
need for two floor pieces.
Chameleon like adaptability
characteriZes the newest upholst-
cred sofas, Sectionals and bench
es. The selection of SectionalS
grows ever larger, with manu-
facturers offering a basic design
which adopts various legs, arms,
back detail and skirts to achieve
tremendous style versatility. And
the popularity of modern section
ais has so earned the envy of
traditional designs that sectionals
now appear in an increasing num-
ber of traditional styles.
The latest markets saw sofas
emerging from "semi-retirement."

there is a value whether recogniz-

people are different. They remem-

They give, and want others to be

out something within us that has

can all be understood when we
stop to think that at the first
Christmas, God gave to mankind
the gifts of faith, hope, and love,
and the Christmas season turns
us to think of them, and use
them, and use them. Faith in God
becomes more real now because
we cannot escape believing that
God in the Christmas Birth sent
his son because he had faith in us
and what we might become. Hope
becomes real because a new baby
which is the Christian story is al
ways the symbol of new life and
a future. Love is real because at
Christmas we let our hearts be
changed by this strange power
that urges us to consider others,
