Western capitals: Not to expect
the Geneva Conference "at the
summit" to reach In a few days
miraculous solution of the "baf-
fling problems which have torn
the world apart"
"It would indeed be a great
calumny upon the leaders Of
both Sides" he declared, "if a
solution were so easy to reach.
III it only takes four or five days
Ito get it, why was the answer
not found before?"
The Western Big Three are
agreed that the Geneva confer
ence should be limited to four
to six days, with the emphasis
on defining the problems to be
considered In later lower-level
negotiations and seeking to lay
out new approaches to those
problems.
They also are in accord that
there should be no effort to set
lup a formal agenda for the
meeting of heads of govern
Iments. This will give oppor-
ltunity for opening statements
Iby Mr.. Eisenhower and the other
three government chiefs outlin-
ling what they consider the main
causes of East-West tensions,
and the problems that should be
tackled.
Orderly Procedure Needed
Then would come the time for
arranging an orderly procedure
lin the ebb and flow of discussion,
presumably leading to agreement
on methods for considering some
problems and ruling out others
for the time being.
Mr.. Macmillan said last night
the Big -Four survey could COM
Iprise Far Eastern problems as
well as those of Europe. He sug-
gested that the Big -Four might
well set a pattern of negotiation
and the machinery on confer
enceS to which other nations
could be invited, where they
are specially concerned"
The Western idea is that Russia
will raise Far Eastern problems
such as the status of Formosa
and Red China's demand for a
IL. N. Seat-in some form or
other. The most the Western
powers would be likely to agree
to at Geneva would be a future
conference on these problems at
which Nationalist China would
be represented.
! The feeling developing in the
talks here is that a lot OF prob
lems-including the major ques-
ton of disarmament-could be
dealt with concurrently by a lot
of different bodies or conferences
following up the Geneva SUM
NIT" meeting.
Tough Time Ahead
Such negotiations may mean a
tough time for awhile in the
West. Mr.. Macmillan warned of
this last night. He emphasized
the need to keep firm the base
of Western strength for possibly
prolonged negotiations with Rus
sia.
There will be great tempta-
tion to relax our efforts" he
warned. Our people will be told !:
Why do we need to spend so
much money on armaments;
why do we need to enlist our
boys into the services; why do
we have to send them abroad?'
II beg Of you to help us to per-
vent our folk from being deluded
into these specious snares. For
this is just the time when to re-
lax would be dangerous, and
where we might lose in a few
weeks the fruits of so much
effort over so many years."
Mr.. Dulles, Mr.. Macmillan and
Mr.. Pinay wind up their talks
at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel
this afternoon. Mr.. Dulle S
planned to leave about 3 pm. to
fly back to Washington, from
where he will fly to San Fran
cisco Sunday.

CPL. CARL E. WHITFIELD of
the State Highway Patrol, for
merly stationed in Swan Quarter,
was hospitalized last Saturday as
the result of injuries received in a
skirmish near Greenville with a
man who had just been placed IN
der arrest for drunken driving.
The 36-year-old patrolman was re-
ported resting better this week in
Pitt Memorial Hospital in Green
vile, recovering from a bullet
wound in the left arm, cuts and
bruises of the face and chest, and
back injuries. His assailant, Lin
wood Earl Newton of Farmville,
was in a critical condition suffer-
ing from a bullet wound in the
stomach.
The assault repeatedly took
place about 5 pm, Saturday, two
miles east of Greenville. After
having arrested Newton, Whit
field was taking him to Greenville
in the partol car. Newton grabbed
the steering wheel of the car and
also the patrolman's revolver. The
car careened off the road and
smashed up. In the ensuing
struggle, the revolver went off
and the bullet went through New
tons body and into Whitfield's
arm. Two nearby men were at
tracted by the crash and assisted
Whitfield in overcoming the other
man.
Whitfield is veteran of Is
years with the patrol. While in
Hyde, he narrowly escaped death
when he was attacked by a couple
of men he was attempting to ar
rest; in the struggle, one of the
attackers was fatally shot.
Patrolman Whitfield is the
brother of Mrs. Hal Swindell of
New Holland.

GIRL SCOUT TROOP SHOWS
ENTHUSIASM AT HATTERAS

On October 81, 1854, Mrs. Car

ments. While awaiting vertical
ton of the registration of the
troop so that the girls can official
ly be invested as scouts, they have
already commenced activities to-
wards earning their second class
badges.
In addition to troop activities,
the girls enjoyed a November out
ing. At that time they visited the
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and
Museum, studied trail signs and
identified trees. In December,
they provided wreaths for the two
churches and the school at Christ
mas, baked a cake for a shut-in,
and carrolled at twelve homes in
spite of freezing weather. The
first January meeting was spent
collecting coat hangers and old
rags which were sold to buy equip
ment for the troop.
Charter members of the troop
are Cora Joan Austin, Elida Aus
tin, Roberta Austin, Ursula Aus
tin, Cornelia Batten, Mary Burrus,
Ruby Fagley, Jean Gray, Sandra
Gray, Sandra Gillikin, jeanne

with are Mrs. Roy Gray, Mrs.

Where to View Work
Examples of the productions

Unfortunately, however, the
artists of the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing rarely
are permitted to do their best
work. Pressure for new stamps
. commonly comes from groups
or agencies with little, II any,
knowledge of art. The petit
TONERS approach the Post
master General or even the
President with conceptions of
their own which they insist
upon having accepted. Many
stamps, therefore, are spoiled
before they are authorized,

capped were the following
