NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Mar.
20 (P.-Nature took over today

failed. The Niagara Rivers
mighty ice jam was left to he
elements And there was a good
chance that the elements would
respond quickly to the challenge.
The weather outlook was ia
vorable for the first time since
the jam began a week ago when
ice from Lake Erie plunged down
over the falls.
In addition, several expanses
of open water were reported IN
the 12-mile stretch of the lower
Niagara between the falls and
Lake Ontario. Breaks were seen
in the final six miles where 40
and 50-foot mountains of ice
had done their greatest damage.
Demolition experts touched OFF
925 pounds of dynamite yester-
day in the face of the jam at the
rivers mouth. Two foes of slush
ice broke away, but the main
Jam refused to bulge. Army en-
gineers, who agreed to the dyna-
mite attack only with misgiv-
ings, gave it us as a hopeless job.

This week DR.. Salvidio. who

Chief of Naval Operations was
NATO commander in Southern
Europe, visited his old boss at
the Pentagon. He asked whether
he might be able to obtain the
citation.
Admiral Carney came through.
DR.. Salvidio. who now is an

for "meritorious achievement in
connection with military opera

President Discounts War Peril,
Doubts Early Chinese Attack

been upheavals in the Soviet
government. While Malenkov
was Premier. it seemed that Mos
COW would like nothing better
than a meeting with the Presi-
dent of the United States and
Prime Minister Churchill. It
didn't happen and it may have
made a difference. Nobody in
the United States Government
ever referred to Malenkov as the
leader of the Soviets. That
omission was intentional.
@. Are we going to have a
war April Is? It's reported that
on about that date the mill
tary expect an attack on the
Matsu islands.
A. That prediction doesn't re-
feet the views of the Eisenhower
administration. Nobody can say
what the Chinese Reds might do.
But our information is that they
lack air bases and supplies.
There's no evidence of a sufficient
buildup at this time.
President Must Decide
@. What is the possibility of a
general war starting in the For
mosa Straits?
/ A. That is a question for Pres
ident Eisenhower. He makes the
decision, under congressional au-
thority, on what constitutes an
attack on Formosa.
@. And if the Red Chinese at
tack Matsu or Quemoy?
A. The decision on United
States action probably will come
before the actual attack. It hasn't t
been made yet. The answer on
Matsu and Quemoy depends
lagrely on whether or not the
attack is directed at Formosa.
@. What do our diplomatic
representatives in the Pacific
report?
A. They don't believe Red
China wants to go into the Asia
African Conference at Bandung
in mid-April while attacking the
United States in the Formosa
area.
@. Can Matsu and Quemoy be
taken by the Peiping Reds?
! A. 1t would require a major
attack. We don't think it would
succeed.
Reds Can Be Halted
@. Does that mean the Red
threat can be turned aside, as
of now?
/ A. Yes. We don't think those
islands will fall to the Reds
even without our intervention.
| Q. What about the report from
military sources that mid-April
is a sort of D-day for war in
the Pacific?
| A. That gives a completely er-
roneous impression. The admin
istratior doesn't think we'll be
in a war in mid-April, or later.
| It's just not so.
| @. If Matsu is attacked, along
with an air attack that includes
Formosa, what would the United
/ States do?
A. If the attack is directed at
Fol mosa. the United States
would reply. We're committed by
( our treaty.

The costumes ranged from our

charmed all callers to the White

The widely different styled
dresses became part of the &C

among the throng. The first

historical costumes soon was re-
placed by a casual acceptance
of the long trains, elaborate

Liquor Dealers Seek
To Keep Licenses

A delegation representing 20
class A liquor license holders
who stand to be evicted during
the redevelopment of Southwest
Washington today urged the
District Commissioners to amend
existing regulations so they could
retain their licenses until they
can relocate their businesses.
Hilliard Schulberg, executive
director of the Washington Re-
tail Liquor Dealers Association,
served as spokesman. Their
eviction is threatened by rede-
velopment plans.
Mr.. Schulberg urged that an
existing Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Act regulation be changed
to permit the ABC board to
hold the affected dealers Ii
censes for whatever period the
dealers would need to find new
premises that would bear board
approval.
The official said that the 20
licensees represent a total busi-
ness value of about 81 million.
These dealers are good. law
abiding citizens who have built
up their trade over the years and
in fairness and equity something
should be done to protect them,
he declared.

said she spoke for the Milton

interests as we'll as for the

with the Bonn government
represented.
Earlier, Mr.. Dulles told Sen
ator Wiley. Republican, Of Wis
consin, that the talk of a Big
Four meeting is not likely to de-
lay formation of German dl-
visions under the pending trea-
ties.
He said the United States De-
fense Department already has
stockpiled defense weapons for
the new German manpower, but
that it may take a year or two
to recruit and train the troops.
Retain Negotiating Rights
Some Senators wanted to
know whether Western Germany,
once it regains sovereignty, could
negotiate with Russia to unite
Germany, assuming that the
present Bonn government should
be replaced by one with different
objectives.
Mr.. Dulles assured the COM
mittee that the United States.
France and Great Britain have
retained the right to take part
in any negotiations Western
Germany might inaugurate
looking to unification of Ger
many.
The Secretary said the Bonn
government wanted the West
ern Powers to retain that right
because they realize the Soviet
government will be on the side
of East Germany in any nego-
tiationS.
AS he left the hearing room.
Secretary Dulles was asked by
reporters if he was thinking of
a meeting of foreign ministers
or heads of state when he made
his time estimate. The Secre-
tary replied that any kind of
a meeting would require months
to arrange.
Must Approve Austrian Pact
Senator Barkley, Democrat, of
Kentucky brought out by que6-
tions that, although Moscow has
invited Austrian Premier Raab
to discuss a peace treaty, the
Soviet Union could not work out
an agreement with Austria with
out the consent of the other
occupying powers. Senator Bark
ley said there has been a sus-
picion that Russia may be trying
to wean Austria over to her side.
AS the hearings began, Chair
man George and other Demo-
cratic leaders were driving for
speedy Senate action, probably
by Saturday.
The big hurdle was cleared
when France ratified last Satur-
day. After the United States
Senate approves, action will be
required only by Belgium, Den
mark. Luxembourg and The
Netherlands.
Mr.. Dulles testified that for
eight years the United States has
sought in vain to obtain a Ger
man peace treaty and to reunite
Eastern and Western Germany.
Repeated conferences with the
Soviet Union have failed.
Sees Soviet Checkmated
"These conferences have come
to naught because the Soviet
Union has used them as occa-
sions to maneuver against unity

Europe said MI. Dulles.

ferences could be held with

For the last few weeks,
members have been working
on the clubs first hunter
trials, to be held Friday on the
estate of Fenton Fadeley near
Waterford.
The hunter trials give fox
hunters a chance to wind up
the season with a bang. This
will be the seasons final test
for horses, and members of
neighboring hunts will come
in to compete with members
of the Loudoun club.
Mr.. Fadeley, a Loudoun
member, has constructed the
course for the trials in one of
the most picturesque sections
of Northern Virginia. The
horses will sweep over hills,
jump fences and finally splash
through Catoctin Greek, which
winds through the farm.

ing, the Loudoun Hunt is

The Loudoun Hunt pro-
vides a family membership
that is cheaper than a theater
party in Washington, and this
makes hunting a family affair.
The younger members of the
club are called on for their
part of the work, too, and the
club officials think this will
bring on a new generation of
able sportsmen.
The club is full of "one-
horse stables" Many of its
members commute to Wash
ington five days a week and
hunt on Saturdays. They and
their families take care of
their horses, do their own
grooming and keep their own
tack spic and span.
"It's more fun this way"
they say. "And besides, it is
good fun, and good training
for the kids. You get more
out of sport when you have to
work for it."
