MR.. RENDELI.-Mr. Dulles.
on the basis Of your present
information. what do y0u
think are the prospects for
the immediate future in the
Middle East?
MIR. DULLESIn the Mid
die East, as you know, the
situation has been very much
confused by this recent de-
livery Of Communist arms
supposedly coming from Czech
oslovakia, but the hand which
sent them there Is the hand
Of Moscow. Unfortunately.
this large shipment Of arms in
q very tense situation that ex-
lists in that area is calculated
to cause trouble, to increase
the threat Of war, and conse-
quently. play into the hands
Of the Soviets quite q grave
danger for us all.
Q. Do you think that dan
ger b truly . serious one?
A. Whenever you have as
explosive q situation as that in
the Middle East. It doesn't take
very many matches to light q

q. Mr.. Dulles, now that the
Conference Of Foreign MINI
listers at Geneva has run into
great difficnlty, what informa-
ti0n do You have e-what do you
think-will be Russia's next
move?
A. ! think Russia viii con-
tinue along. particularly in the
field In which / am acquainted
namely. In the subversiVe
field to American policy they
have been following. As I've
said several times In the last
few weeks, we see no evidence
here In the CIA that the Soviet
Union has renowned any Of
its suhversive tactics or
changed its policy. And what
! just said about the Middle
East q few minutes ago is
pretty good evidence Of that.
Far East Situation

Far East lately; what Is the
meaning of thatg

Meeting Place
Change Voted

After meeting for longer than
30 years in the Lyon Park Com
munity House. the Arlington
Civic Federation has authorized
its executive committee to select
o new meeting place.
The federation's new president.
Edward Hincks, said the execu-
tive committee has estimated
money could be saved by meeting
in the Barnes q Kimel audito-
rum in Clarendon. The fedora
ton has been paying $40 a meet
ing at Lyon Park: the auditorium
fee would depend on how long
the meetings lasted.
so Members Attend
AS about 60 members assem-
bled for the first meeting of the
new federation year, Treasurer
William A. Backus reported that
the groups obligations exceed
funds on hand. He was cool to-
ward the idea Of changing the
meeting place, however, because
some issue may develop to
iengthen meetings and make the
rental more costly.
Oscar r. lie Beau. one Of the
federation pioneers, protested
that the sessions in the COM
munity house are IAN old stand
ing date; no one has ever had

One of the factors that swayed
the majority vote against Mr..
lie Beau's viewpoint was that

Change Permissive
The vote authorizes changing
the meeting place but does not
require it IL there are new devel-
opments.
In other business. it was voted,
on recommendation Of the execu.

liam q. Watt. to set UP q special
budget committee to prepare q
budget and suggest methods Of

The Prince Georges County
School Board wants the county
commissioners to require deyel-
opers to donate school sites be-
fore necessary coming Is granted.
The board, meeting in Upper
Marlboro yesterday. authorized
Assistant eupt. Thomas 8.
Gwynn. jr.. and board counsel
Edward w. Nylen to confer with
the president Of the Board Of
Commissioners to determine
whether such o requirement
would be possible.
The question came up when
Mr.. Nylen and Mr.. Gwynn re-
ported they were experiencing
difnculty in obtaining promised
school sites from the developers
Of Carrollton. on Defense high
way ct Lanhafn. and Palmer
Park. at LahdoVer road and
George Palmer highway In
Landover.
II think maybe we'll be able
to work something out with
Carrollton-it's mostly q matter
Of agreeing on . price" Mr..
Nylen said. 'But with Palmer
Park. there are 20 many people
involved there, that we don't
know whom to deal with"
School Supt. William 8.
Schmidt pulled out the 1853
journal Of board proceedings to
show that. in August Of that
year. the Palmer Park developer,
Kenneth Frank. told the board
he would give 1t title to. two
school sites-one IL acres and
the other 16 acres.
His assurance that such sites
would be donated was used q
an argument to presuade the
county commissioners to grant
the rural plan community son-
ing necessary for the building Of
Palmer Park.
No commitment was made in
writing. however. Mr.. Nylen said.
The need for o Palmer Park
site is serious, oficials said, since
families already are living there
and 1875 children are now being

to Seat Pleasant Elementary

Correspondents writing in the
large metropolitan dsilies are
openly expressing dismay at the
meeting OF the Asian and African
nations at Banding, Indonesia.
One correspondent, writing In
the Chicago Daily News said,
from the Western point of view,
this is a conference that never
should have been held. Western
diplomats, have an advance tip
off that the communists are go
ing to try TO use the conference to
give the West a propaganda beat

attempt to gain support for such
measures as admission OF the
Chinese government to the United
Nations and unification of Korea.
Though II is probable the com
munists will attempt TO portray
their way Of life as the answer
10 the problems OF the worlds un-
developed nations. this has little
bearing on the real purpose OF the
meeting. which was aptly stated
by a correspondent in the st.
Louis Post Dispatch:
Representatives OF a billion
and half human beings three
fifths Of the worlds population
will meet next month in the hills
of Indonesia 20 stake out a claim
for status and dignity. demanding
full equality with the great
powers of the earth"
The correspondent pointed out
that they have in common a
deep yearning to join the main
stream Of history. from which
they have been excluded in part
by their cultural and political de-
velopment, and In part by the
world political and economic ar
rsngements made by the great
European colonial powers, for the
chief benefit Of those same
powers"
