Recently I have printed a
few interesting letters which
have come to me from readers.
These are not only full Of hu-
man interest but bring up
problems which many women
have.
To quote, II am 20 pounds
overweight. I know how to get
rid Of the 20 pounds. 1t is as
simple as it is difficult to go
through. I know how to plan q
healthful reducing diet. I am
not boasting. I am veteran at
this. I lost 35 pounds some
years ago.
my problem is that when
losing weight I lose 1t in the
wrong places. My busts nearly
disappear. They get more Dior
than Dior himself would bar
gain for. My hips get too slim
in comparison to my waist.
which does not seem to change.
My hips are just right and
should stay that way. My
stomach needs a lift which 1t
doesn't seem to get.
Worst of all the skin un-
der my chin and on my neck
gets wrinkles and makes an old
woman out of me.
II have told you my physical
troubles. It is surprising how
much they make for person
ality troubles"
This is a problem which
haunts many women when re-
ducing. A woman may find

The summer bride who weds

Gordon Dean Asks
A-Bomb Wurnino

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Aug. 8 (P).
Gordon E. Dean, former chair
man of the Atomic Energy Com
mission. proposed a plan yes
terday which would guarantee
a warning to each side before
(atomic or hydrogen devices are
used"
Mr.. Dean said. Since Russia
would be reluctant to destroy
her bombs or give them up to
an international pool or to a
neutral country. it might be bet
ter to let her keep them, but
enter into an agreement whereby
United Nations military teams
would take over storage sites
both here and in Russia.
THE mission Of these custo-
dams would be to see that no
bomb leaves the storage site. II
an attempt were made by either
country to seize the bombs and
load them onto planes for a
sneak attack, a warning of this
fact would be radioed by the
U. N. custodians to all the
world"

banker made his comments at the

vention.

Uranium Ore
Secrecy Eused

The Atomic Energy Commits

The declassification action.
however. does not apply to the

DR.. John Won Neumann. act
ing chairman Of the Acc, said
the commission has determined
that the information on early
stage processing of ores no
longer has security sensitivity.
He added that the Acc has
concluded that declassification
will benefit its raw materials pro-

Legislators Are Quiet,
But Capitol Still HUNS

preparations Committee has by
far the largest with 81 experts
and clerical employees. Other
House committees have between
10 and 10 employees each. Not
all will be as fully occupied this
summer and fall as the stats of
the Appropriations and the Ways
and Means Committees. Most of
them. nevertheless. can find a
steady supply of work in pre-
pairing for the next session.
Get New Duties
Employees under the super
vision of the sergeant at arms
or the doorkeeper in House and
Senate include some messengers,
floor managers Of telephones and
Icloakroom attendants who pre-
Isumably could enjoy a restful
recess. Their number, however
lis small. They are generally as
signed to other duties during the
legislative lull.
In other parts Of the Capitol
and the Office buildings, mail
must be delivered, telephones
kept operating and paychecks
and expense vouchers processed.
That work is not on the scale to
which the more than SO tele-
phone operators, and the fewer
than 100 congressional postal,
cashier and disbursing Office
workers were accustomed from
January to August. But there
were no signs or sounds Of delay
or deterioration in such services
today.
Some administrative aides,
secretaries and clerks in the
Offices of Senators and Repre-
sentatives may get substantial
pay increases because of bigger
allowances in the legislative ap-
preparation bill. Some obviously
are working harder than others
during the congressional recess,
either in the Office buildings here
or in the members Office in his
home district or State.
In general. according to vet
eran officials at the Capitol,
practically every Senator's office
and those Of most House mem
bers now remain open through
out the year. Adjournment of
Congress offers neither a siesta
nor a surcease from the pur-
suits of politics and public
business.

Hill Confident
OF School Aid
BY J. A. oLEARY

Senator Hill. Democrat of Ala
bama, said today he is confident
a program of Federal aid TO
school construction will pass at
the next session of Congress.
AS chairman of the Education
and Labor Committee, Senator
Hill will have charge of the sub
ject in the Senate His committee
completed hearings. but did not
act, on a variety Of school aid
bills at the recent session. =
The corresponding House com.
mittee reported out a four-year
program Of Federal aid July %.
but House leaders did not takeyit
up for passage before adjourn
ment.
Feared Racial Row
The probability that an anti.
segregation fight would develop
on the floor is believed to haTe
been one of the factors that dis
couraged the leaders from calling
up the bill in the closing days..
Senator Hill pointed out that'
the anti-segregation bill was
eliminated from the military
reserve and housing bills. and
said he sees no reason why it
should be raised on the school
construction bill. s.s
But other observers think it
will be more difficult to avoid
an anti-segregation amendment
on the school bill, since the Su-
preme Court Indignation decree
dealt directly with schools.
Aid for Teachers
The demand for aid to educa-
ton at the next session will not
be confined to construction Of
much-needed new classrooms.
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon. has announced he will
introduce a bill at the next ses-
sion for Federal aid for teachers
salaries.
On the closing night Of the
session he gave the Senate fig,
ures showing there is a shortage
of $4,000 teachers, as well as a
need for 1000 classrooms.
Senator Hill said his commit
tee also will consider early next
year several health bills, includ-
ing another look at the polio
vaccine program. The bill just
passed to aid the States in
providing polio vaccine runs only
until February.

provides "a real basis for nucleal
power development in our coun-
try"
They reported that Soviet
scientists are designing a 100,'

production is entirely control
led and financed by the
government in Russia, makes
any accurate power price
comparison virtually impos-

The Soviet scientists said thu

was due to "the small size of the

Present indications, he said,
are that the net fuel costs in

ered-after taking credit for new

duced at the same time power is
produced-will be low enough to
make nuclear powered electric

more venturesome" program
than the AEC-that is, by build
ing five full-scale reactors-
DR.. Lane declared that among
experts estimating the economic
prospects for such plants "the
optimists outweigh the pessi-
mistS."
DR.. Lanes overall conclusion
for his report was that, taking
all available economic and tech
nical information at its face
value, it is evident that the out
look for large-scale nuclear
power in the United States is
very promising"
The Russian scientists, besides
saying that their smail-sized
commercial reactor provides a
starting point for nuclear power
development in the Soviet, said
Russia's operating experience
with it may be of help also to
other countries interested in the
wide use of atomic energy for

Three United States scientists
also held out promise for remote
areas with a paper disclosing
development of new boiling

described it as IAN important
step toward the economical pro-

The American experts, from
the Argonne Laboratories at
Lemont. H., said their process
involved generation of the steam
for the turbines inside the reac-
tor rather than in an external
boiler. The boiling inside the
reactor previously had been con-
sidered unsafe. but the report
said this had been disproved.
A 5.000-kilowatt plant using
the new principle is due to be
in operation at the Argonne
laboratories by the latter part of

Relatively few employees at
the Capitol feel fiustered or
frustrated when asked what, If
any, work they are doing now
that Congress has adjourned.
The pace has slowed and the
din has diminished in commit
tee rooms and members offices,
leaving the corridors tempo
lrarily to tourists. Some con-
gressional employees have set
tied down to what a House
member deplored as "a leisure
lily. care-free life at the expense
of the taxpayers" But most of
those on the payroll give evil
dence of having enough to do
to earn their salaries during the
so-called recess.
Before the S4th Congress
ended its first session a week
ago, a Senate-House wrangle
over the annual legislative ap-
preparation bill aroused appre-
hension on that point among
various Democrats as well as
Republicans. They warned that
Ipay increases and fringe bene-
fits would lead to costly let
downs in congressional employe
circles while legislators were
out of Washington, or that
there would not be suficient
business to keep people busy
until January.
Still Busy
One survey, of course. does
not make a summer. But the
Capitol and Office buildings this
week are far from deserted OF
idle - with due allowance for
the taking of delayed vacations
and the disappearance Of door
keepers, pages. of1icial reporters
and others whose tenure ties In
closely with actual sessions.
Moreover, the surroundings
seem certain to become buster BY
September. No fewer than 81
Senate or House committees al.
ready have mapped investiga.
tons, hearings and specia

whatever may have been don,
or not done in past years. there
is little chance that the materi'

A variety of experts on the
Far East today Endorsed the
idea that United States Govern
ment money-instead Of private
capitals needed to save South
east Asia from communism.
This theme ran through
speeches and discussions at q
conference on Free Asia.
The Johns Hopkins University
School for Advanced Interna-
tional Studies is sponsoring the
four-day meeting at the Shera-
ton Park Hotel.
Walter H. Mallory, director
OF the Council on Foreign Rela-
tons. told the 400 delegates
today that Asians do not have
the experience, energy or am
billions to use private capital
to solve all their problems.
Plan Suggested
Ambassador James Barring
ton Of Burma called for sub
stantial" American aid for Free
Asia. but urged that 1t be trans
mitted through some organiza-
ton such as the United Nations.
He said Burma could not accept
gifts under bilateral arrange
ments.
Mr.. Darlington acknowledged
that Asian nations have not
welcomed outside private capt.
tai, but he insisted that, anyway
private capital for such ventures
did not exist.
Ambassador r. S. S. Gune-
wardene of Ceylon said there is
no chance of Communist expan-
sion in the Far East if the anti
Communist countries follow the
elementary precaution of offering
Asians a better chance of i'm
