narcotics traffic here that q
Washington doctor made her 4
dope addict and that she turned
to prostitution to pay him be-
tween $4,000 and $45,ooo over

The woman, an attractively

DR.. Friedenberg went on trial

were dropped by the Govern

a hung jury.

titled that DR.. Friedenberg per-
sonally administered more mar
cotics drugs to patients during

ordination of strategy has
reached the stage which rules
out French" or British" plans
which might come as a surprise
to the other Western powers.
Recalls U. N. Speech
The assumption being made
here is that both proposals have
been worked out carefully ahead
of time between the Big Three
and that the preliminary discus
sion was also agreed on. The
French plan particularly recalls
a speech of President Eisenhower
in San Francisco June 20. The
President said at the time: LAS
some success in disarmament is
achieved, we hope that each of
the so-called great powers will
contribute to the United Nations
for promoting technical and eco
nomic progress of less productive
areas portion of resultant saw
ingS in military expenditures"
This coordination of allied
strategy, of course, does not
guarantee that any positive re-
suits will come out of the Geneva
conference. The latest remarks
of Soviet Premier Bulganin have
not encouraged optimism here
about the possibility of settle
ment of the German problem,
without which there seems little
hope of genuine improvement IN
East-West relations. On the
other hand, it is encouraging
that the allies will not be going

ing a purely defensive role which

Folsom Named
As Mrs. Hobby
LeavesCabinet
Eisenhower Praises
Outgoing Secretary
In Emotional Scene
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON

President Eisenhower today
accepted the resignation Of Mrs.
Oveta Culp Hobby, Secretary of
Health. Education and Welfare,
and announced that he was ap-
pointing Marion B. Folsom.
Undersecretary of the Treasury,
to succeed her.
Mrs. Hobby's resignation,
rumored for months, was an
nounced by the President in a
rather emotional scene under
klieg lights in the White House
conference room. The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hobby exchanged
high praise for each other for
the benefit of newsreels and
newsmen.
Afterward. it was announced
the President would send to the
Senate Immediately the name of
MIR. Folsom. former executive of
the Eastman Kodak Co., as Mrs.
Hobby's successor. He had been
IN line for the post for some
time.
Cites personal Reasons"
Mrs. Hobby, attired in a tan
and white dress and hat to
match, said her resignation was
due to personal reasons of a
high order"
There also was an exchange
OF letters between the President
and Mrs. Hobby in which Mr..
Eisenhower said this is one of
the hardest letters have ever
had to write" The President
went on to say that for months,
since you first discussed them
with me, I have recognized that
personal obligations and respon-
sibilities might make your resig-
nation as Secretary an inescap-
able decision. I now have no
alternative than to accept 1t,
eIlectlVe august ].
The personal reasons" men,
toned to by Mrs. Hobby ap-
parently was a reference to the
prolonged illness of her hus-
band, William P. Hobby, a for
mer governor OF Texas. Mr..
Hobby long has been suffering
with arthritis and other ailments
and has remained at his ;Ious-
ton, Tex, home during the 31I
months Mrs. Hobby served the
Eisenhower administration.
Recalls WAC Career
Mr.. Eisenhower recalled Mrs.
Hobby's service in the Wac
today in saying that he first met
her in London in 1912 when she
went to England as commander
of the, WACs.
In the resignation cere-
mony at the White House.
the President said he thought he
could best express the feeling of
the cabinet about Mrs. Hobby by
quoting a remark made by Sec
retary Of the Treasury Hum
phery when he first heapd Mrs.
Hobby planned to resign.
Mr.. Eisenhower said Mr.. Hum
phrey described Mrs. Hobby as
"the best man in the cabinet."I
The resignation was the Sec
ond from the Presidents cab
met in the 80 months of the
Eisenhower administration and
was much more peaceful than
the first.

President, called him on June 13
and requested the suspension of
the SEC hearing to permit the
possible Intervention in the case
of government attorneys who
were absent from the city at that
time.
Refuses Question
Mr.. Armstrong flatly refused,
however, to say whether Mr..
Adams had brought up the SUBJ
ject of a pending appropriation
affecting the Dixon-Yates prof.
ect in suggesting the suspension
of the hearings.
He insisted that testimony be
barred by an Attorney Generals
opinion restricting testimony on
confidential exchanges, in line
with a presidential directive.
Anyway, he added, "if there
was any such conversation" 1t
did not come within purview
|of the request for background
details on the. hearing suspen-
sion.
Eventually, he said he would
ask the Attorney General if
testimony could be given on that
point, but he asserted that the
issue had been covered fully by
the Attorney Generals opinion.
Mr.. Armstrong, who had de-
clined yesterday to go into any
details Of the suspension of the
SEC hearings, was recalled to
the stand today and, in line
with an Attorney Generals opin-
ion which he had just obtained,
outlined what had happened.
Relates Message
He said that Mr.. Adams asked
him if the commission would
consider the advisability of a
brief adjournment of the Dixon
Yates proceedings ''for the rea-
son that certain Government
attorneys interested in this pro-
ceeding were away from the city
of Washington and they desired
the opportunity to determine
whether the United States Gov
ernment, which is a party to
the contract between the Atomic
Energy Commission and the
Dixon-Yates company" might
wish to intervene in the pro-
ceedings.

egy revealed so far it seems clear
the Western allies will go te
Geneva next week with two con-
crete proposals.
The first deals with the re-
unification of Germany within

Paee A-32
the framework Of the new Euro
pean security system.
The second concerns a new
and gradual approach to the
question of disarmament and the
rechanneling of military funds
for the development Of depressed
countries.
The two propositions seem to
add up to something like a posi-
tive approach to the coming
meeting with Russia. Although
details on both plans are still
under wraps. they are at least
| fresher and more concrete than
anything forthcoming so fan
from the other side.
u. s. in Passive Role
As in the past, it also begins
to appear that major job of
ball-carrying will be left to the
European allies with the United
States playing a more passive
role in the discussions. The
same formula was used with sue
cess at Berlin last year where the
original Eden plan for unifying
Germany was proposed and
where the main job of defending
the Western position was left
to Frances Foreign Minister
Georges. Bidault.
In this case, Sir Anthony again
seems to, have been tapped to
deal with the German question.
His recent speech in London
went a long way in defining the
new trend in. Western thinking
on Germany since Berlin.
The original proposition re-
mains unchanged. Germany, if
it is to be reunited at all, must
be reunited under a freely chosen
unified government. It must be
free to decide its own political
and military alliances. 1t must
not be "neutralized" on the Aus
trian pattern. These points still
provide the factors for any for
mula for reuniting Germany that
would be acceptable to the allies.
On the other hand Sir An
thony also made it clear that
the allies are not anxious to
turn Germany into an armed
camp. He suggested that any
system of mutual security and
arms control would be accept
able so long as it did not in
clude the dismantling of NATO
Oh the withdrawal of American
forces from Europe. So far as
Germany was concerned there
was a suggestion-subsequently
reinforced by informed British
sources-that the allies would
accept demilitarization of a
