vision play, then on Broadway,
and now it is being made in
to a movie.

President doesn't Know
About Retirement Story

would like to thank Senator
Smith for her compliments, but
added-with a smile and a
shrug-that he did not know
where she got her impression he
would retire.
Mrs. Smith is the first prom
inent Republican to voice doubt
publicly that the President will
seek a second term, since the
Presidents assistant, Sherman
Adams, told a luncheon of the
Citizens for Eisenhower a year
ago that several factors-among
them the support or lack of
support for his program by Re-
publican members of Congress
might determine the Presi-
dents decision on a second term.
I'VE have been lucky to have
Dwight D. Eisenhower leading
our party" Mrs. Smith declared.
But we don't want to push that
luck too far. We don't want to
put all our eggs in one basket
we don't want to lean too heav-
lily upon the Eisenhower popu-
larity.

An 82-year-old member OF the

chased a woman intruder from
her home today. She called
Alexandria police, who arrested
the suspect on burglary charges.
Mrs. Inez S. Stansfield, past

at 5l2 Duke street. said she was
aroused about Sis am. Just as
she turned on the light a colored
woman opened the bedroom door.
Mrs. Stansfield. the widow OF
a Spanish-Amer War colonel.
said she asked the intruder what
she wanted and when there was
no answer ordered her out.
Police said the woman ran out
the back door under the prod
ding of the cane. Mrs. Stans-
field locked the door and called
police.
officers said they picked up
woman lurking in the shadows
in the back yard. They identi-
fed her as Geneva Duvall, 38, OF
no fixed address. Police said
they found a pair of Mrs. Stans-
fields scissors in her possession.
The suspect admitted entering
the home through a rear window
which was partially opened, po-
lice said.

strength solely upon the Presi-

Paris Talks Due to Give
Diem 3-Power Booking

French may go along with the
majority view, which is that
Premier Diem, for all his i'm
p rfections as leader, still pro-
vides the best rallying point for
the anti Communist forces in
Wet Nam. 1t seems virtually
certain that the role Of Bao Dai
will be from now on at best a
passive one. In the course Of
last nights meeting Secretary OF
State Dulles spoke of future sup
port for the absentee monarch
out of government revenues-a
phrase strongly suggesting Bao
will be pensioned off to pursue
his comfortable and innocuous
existence on the French Riviera.
Talks Are Frank
The discussion between Mr..
Faure and Mr.. Dulles took a
sudden conciliatory turn last
night after some down-to-earth
talking on both sides. At one
point the Secretary told Mr..
Faure the United States was
ready and willing to wash its
hands of Indo-China altogether
unless some agreement could be
reached. Important as Wet Nam
was, the Secretary said, it was
not so important as to justify
a major split between France
and the United States. With this
Mr.. Faure readily agreed. France
likewise, he implied, was ready
to make broad concessions. His
government was still unenthusi-
astic about MIR. Diem and re-
sented his anti-French attitude.
But in interests of harmony it
would be willing to support him
if genuinely democratic govern
ment could be achieved.
One point still very much up
in air is the future of the French
expeditionary force in Wet Nam

THE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
Eisenhower Reverses
Public Power Policy

That promise became the basis
for the Eisenhower administra-
tion's policy. How closely the
policy has been followed is dis
closed by the fact that since Mr.
Eisenhower took Office, not a
single new Federal hydro-electric
project has been started.
The private power industry has
made no attempt to conceal the
fact that it is. happy over this
turn of events. It feels that the
progress of a Federal juggernaut,
which now handles about 20 per
cent of the Nations power busi-
ness, has been stopped.
While the Governments main
concern was with hydro-electric
dam projects. which transform
the energy of falling water into
electricity, there was also Fed
eral expansion into generation
by so-called steam plants, "
which burn coal, oil and other
fuel. Since non-hydro methods
of making power now provide
all but about one-seventh of all
electricity-Federal and private
sold. the industry had cause to
fear further Federal expansion
beyond the hydro field.
Since the partnership" policy
went into effect, the Federal
Power Commission has been
sWamped with license applica-
tions for dam sites from private

Lawyer Fined $500

By WILLIAM G. POLLARD

Judge Charles F. Mclaughlin
of the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia today
found attorney Dorsey K. Offutt
guilty on two charges of criminal
contempt of court and acquitted
him on two others. Judge Nc
Laughlin ordered that Mr.. Of
futt pay a fine of $500 by next
Monday or go to Jail until 1t is
paid.
However, Mr.. Offutt's attorney,
Warren E Magee, Immediately
took an appeal from Judge Nc
Laughlin's finding. Judge Nc
Laughlin set bond for Mr.. Offutt
at 81 900 pending outcome of the
appeal. The bond was posted i'm
mediately.
The contempt charges against
Mr.. Offutt stemmed from fire.

Appeals for the District of Co.

finding in part only but reduced
Mr.. Offutt's sentence to 4s

the Supreme Court and that
court reversed the contempt
finding and said the contempt

Mr.. Offutt was found guilty by
Judge Mclaughlin accused the
attorney of making insulting

Holtzoff.
"Prejudicial" Questions
The other count accused him
of asking witnesses questions
that were highly prejudicial."
Judge Mclaughlin dismissed a
charge which had accused Mr.
Offutt of trying ito create an
episode that might lead the court
to direct a mistrial" for his
client.
The other charge on which
Mr. Offutt was acquitted had
accused him of persisting "ir

viction. however, was set aside

Warns Against
Expectation Of
Quick Change
BY GARNETT d. HORNER

President Eisenhower made it
clear today that he does not ex-
pect the anticipated Big Four
conference to bring any sudden
end to the cold war.
He told news conference.
however, that at least some .
Qualification of the air probably
would come from the proposed
meeting bringing him and the
British and French Prime
Ministers face to face with
Soviet Premier Bulganin.
The President emphasized that
ne would not go into such a
conference with any idea that
the world was going to be turned
around in a few hours or weeks.
He described the Vests pro-
posals for the top-level confer
ence AS an experimental effort
to find out whether the Russians
are sincerely hoping to relieve
world tensions.
World May Be Covered
Conversations between the
heads of governments probably
would tend to go around the
world. covering the Far East as
we'll as European problems, Mr..
Eisenhower said. But he added
that he expected no agenda to
be set up for the conference ex-
cept in the most generalized
form.
The Presidents remarks came
as American officials anticipated
an early Soviet acceptance OF
the Western invitation for Big
Four Conference "at the sum-
nit" this summer "in an effort
to remove sources of conflict be-
tween U.S."
Mr.. Eisenhower said, however.
that the whole matter still is in
an exploratory stage and no one
on this side of the Iron Curtain
knows for sure whether Russia
will agree to the proposed con-
ference.
If the meeting is held. Mr..
Eisenhower said, he would like
to see it held in one of the So
called neutral countries. He told
uuestioners he had no other
preference regarding a time and
place.
Details May Come Soon
He said that if Moscow ac-
cepts the Western invitation the
question of a time and place
for the conference might be set
tied this week end when Secre-
tary of State Dulles, British
Foreign Secretary Harold Mac
MILAN and French Foreign Min
lister Antoine Pinay meet Soviet
Foreign Minister v. M. Molotov
in Vienna to conclude an Aus
trian state treaty.
Mr.. Eisenhower had no COM
ment on a new Russian disarma-
ment proposal calling for i'm
mediate withdrawal of the bulk
of foreign forces from both East
and West Germany.
Moscow made this proposal
public yesterday, coincident with
the Western proposal for a two
stage Big-Four Conference, and
probably would press the idea at
such a meeting.
