Group Agrees
On New Senate
Office Building
Believed Deudlocked
Over Other Items
In Fund Bill

House and Senate conferees
were reported today to have
agreed on q new $6 million SEN
ate ONCE Building. but were
deadlocked over several other
major items in the So billion sup
Elemental appropriation bill.
When the conferees adjourned
late yesterday they had reached
such an irnpasse that no time
was fixed for another meeting.
There were indications they
might take a cooling off, period
Of several days before getting
together again.
1t is understood the items on
which they have been unable to
compromise their differences are
Senate amendments providing
for river, harbor and flood con-
troll work, and q $37.5 million
Senate provision for the building
of new tanker ships.
Items Causing Deadlock.
Some OF the items on which
the conferees were said to have
agreed before Sthe deadlock de-
veloped include:
An So million fund for the TAX
ing Of a census Of business, man
ufactures and mineral resources.
A compromise figure Of $780,
900 instead Of the Senate allot-
ment Of $1.2 million for the
White House Conference on
Education, provided for by a
recently enacted law.
An So million fund for screen
ing refugees.
The deadlock on other parts
Of the bill is one Of the factors
likely to prevent adjournment of
Congress before August 21.
The new Office building for
Senators will occupy ground
bought for that purpose several
years ago on First street between
Constitution avenue and C street
northeast, just east Of the pre-
sent building.
Large Hearing Rooms.
The new structure will contain
spacious new hearing rooms, and
will be connected with the exist
ing building by an extension Of
the monorail cars which now
operate in q subway between the
Capitol and the present office
building.
q The coslferees also were re-
ported to have accepted a SEN
ate amendment which would
make q Georgetowns University
Hospital eligible for funds toward
construction of a 1O0-hed addi-
ition. The proyiso would author
lie this by amending the loan

Sex And Clamor

NASHVILLE, Tenn. R-Sex and
glamor are strictly taboo for the
gal who wants to get ahead in
hillbilly music.
That's the opinion of successful
women who've invaded p field once
reserved for men. This verdict was
reached as disc jockeys from the
United States and Canada met
here for the National Disc Jockey
Festival.
Ann Jones, of Vancouver, WASH,
and Mozelle Phillips, of Raleigh,
NC, who both spin records and
sing country music were free with
advice.
To be successful in country
music, particularly as an artist,
woman should stick to ginghams
and steer clear Of fancy hairdoes
and figure-revealing clothes, they
agreed. If you've got glamor, play
it down.
''It pays to be yourself. I'm a

from the heart. There's nothing a
fan catches quicker than put-on
and insincerity," said Miss Phil

UN Vote On
Atomic Pool
Urged Today
By TOM HocE

UNITED NATIONS, NY. IN -
With Russian approval virtually
certain, the United States and its
atomic allies pressed for 4 vote
today on their compromise plan
to promote President Eisenhower's
atoms-for-peace program. Diplo-
mats predicted unanimous assent.
The U.N.'s 60-nation Political
Committee, in recess until late to-
day to let members consult their
governments, hoped to reach a bal
lot tonight on the seven-power res
olution to set up an international
atomic agency.
US. Chief Delegate Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr., presented the revised
proposal yesterday with a plea for
unanimous support.
Virtual agreement between Rus
sia and the West was reached after
week of closed-door bargaining
between Lodge and Soviet Chief
Delegate Andrei Vishinsky. Vishin-
sky told the Western sponsors yes
terday he approved of the revised
plan on all but one point. Informed
sources said this difference would
not stand in the way Of final Soviet
approval.
Vishinsky opposed q Western pro-
vision to invite only members Of
the U.N. and its specialized agen-
cies to the proposed scientific con-
ference on peaceful uses of atomic
energy. Apparently seeking q bid
for Red China, Vishinsky argued
that there should be no restrictions
on the invitation list.
The resolution:
1. Provides that the scientific
conference be held next summer.
2. Suggests that as soon as the
international atomic agency is set
up, it negotiate an appropriate
agreement with the U.N. The orig
inal resolution called for making it
specialized U.N. Agency, but the
Russians objected and called for
it to be placed under the Security
Council.
3. Suggests that negotiations on
the agency continue, as recon-
mended by Russia.

CLEVELAND IA pair of rusty
surgical scissors upon which was
scratched the name IN. Shep-
pard' was being considered today
as possible clue in the. July 4 slay-
ing of pregnant Marilyn Sheppard.
The scissors were found by little
Sherry Lynn Babcock, H.. of
Rochester, Ind, during the last
week of July near wooded re-
sort in Michigan. Police. were noti-
fled yesterday after the girls
grandmother Mrs. Goldie Babcock,
of Elkhart, Ind, read of the
Sheppard case and became curious
about the name on the scissors.
Osteopath Samuel H. Sheppard,
husband of the slain woman, is on
trial for his life, accused of blud-
geoning her to death during a
quarrel. Police never have estab-
lished what the murder weapon
was.
The Babcock girl told Elkhart
police yesterday she found the
scissors stuck in the ground near
visiting Robert O. Jones, near Ar
butus Lake, east of Traverse City,
Mich.
In addition to the name an.
Sheppard" the initials IN. j. S."
were scratched on both sides of
the scissors, which were about
nine inches long.
Dr. Stephen A. SHEPPARD, brother
of the defendant, told a reporter
last night the initials did not jibe
with the name the slain woman
usually used, Marilyn Reese Shep.
pard. Reese was her maiden
name.
He also said he thought the de-
fendant had his instruments
marked "Sam Sheppard" with an
engraving tool. But "only an in
ventory Of Sans bag would show
whether any scissors were miss
ing" the brother added.
