The Big Four foreign minis ters are reasing the curtain to- day on a new act in a drama ot umreality.
 Pious expressions of hope were beiEng made against a background of uncompromising polltical positions. The Geneva spirit was a pale competitor for planning antagonisms, actively promoted by Russia, in the Middle East.
 In fact, the Middle East. which was not on the confer ence agenda. began to loom as a more immediate source ot East-West friction than the question Of Germany, the par leys major topic.
 In the matter of Germany, the conflicting positions al- ready were clean. Russia will not agree to a unified Germany which can be a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organi- zation. The allies wil not a. cree to let West Germany out. or to submerge NATO in an aill-E Europe security system. There was no prospect of break ing the stalemate, despite the hopeful statements of all con- cerned.
 The western ministers go to Thursdays meeting convinced that while Russia undoubtedly wants to avoid war, peace ls not her objective. The objec- tive, they believe, is a studied effort to weaken the western front.
 In this connection, part of Russian tactics may be to make further friendly advances. problems thru reflaNations of barriers to culturaI and econ ordic relations. The Allies areI wiIlinig to work in that field in the hope that increased contacts in any field will eventually help create an atmosphere in which other settlements can bel come possible.
 They think Russia must re- cognize eventually that a na- tion such as Germany will not continue divided indefinitely.
 There are other reasons for holding the meeting despite its apparent futibity on major ques tiionS.
 The allies want to keep prob ing for point at which Russia might make concessions.
 They want neutral peoples, and the neutTIailhsts among al- ] lied peoples, to see them doing it.
 They want to obtain as much inforunation as possible about . Russian policies and Russian attitpdes, for guidance in adopt

NETTLETON TWINS WIN AULIENCE HERE
by Paul A. Biggins

Director Ot NluSlc, o.J ".
 Yesterday Sitkans enjoyed a' rare treat - at least those who were fortunate enough to find seats at either the afternoon program or the evening concert of the Nettleton twins, duo pianists.
 The short afternoon program for children saw the SLUG aud tioriurn crowed out for the first time in two years. Attendance was double that of any other program given for children i'm that space of time.
 Evening program attendance also surpassed that of any oth- CT concert for the past two
 years.
 Although the young ladies
 were suffering from severe colds and were lacking in vital
 ity, the handicap was not app
 parent to the audience. They
 were generous in offering five encores at the end of the even ! ing performance. As the pro gram progressed and they be-
 jeanne warmer (literally), they
 seemed to respond more and more to the warmth of the ap- preciative audience until they lreached their peak with the , fine rendition of the numbers lby contemporaries, Copland. EMiIhaud and Ravel.
 ' The writer was genuinely i'm lpressed all through the program with the high degree of preci- sion in attacks and releases.
 Most duo-pianists encounter at { least some spots where they are
 almost, but not quite together, in starts after long pauses, or at the beginning chords of a number. These girls did not seem to sbe aware of this fact, for their skill in always start ing precisely together with livery ittle apparent signal oth CT than the lowering of an eye lash, was a ceaseless wonder to everyone in the audience.
 They seemed 10 think as one.
 There was very little evidence
 of the girandstand play that one
 might expect, knowing that
 these duo-pianists were identi-
 cal twins.

 Many in the audience must have noted how they paused be fore each number in a medlta- tive mood, long enough to make the necessary change in mood or atmosphere from one numb CT to the next. They realized that one must make the change soulfuIly- from within, if the music is to come from the heart

It was another case where the
pulling of opponents trumps had
to be postponed and where the
timing had to be perfect.
When Mr.. Meek led the king of
spades and the dummy went
down, Mr.. Masters saw that he
had to lose at least two spades
and a diamond. The problem was
to avoid the loss of two diamonds.
This would be easy if diamonds
broke 3-3. But if they broke AZ,
Mr.. Masters would have to try to
ruff a diamond in dummy with
out getting it over-ruffffed.
He won the first trick with
dummy's ace Of spades. He
cashed dummy's queen Of hearts,
which was the last trump lead
he could make for the moment.
Now he shifted to a low diamond.
Mr.. Abel played the eight and Mr..
Masters played low, as did Mr..
Meek.
This was the key play and a
beautiful bit Of timing, but Mr..
Muzzy didn't think so. Subtly,
he made a wry face and held his
nose.
Mr.. Abel came out with q
spade and Mr.. Meek cashed two
tricks in that suit and returned
q trump. Mr.. Masters won with
the king of hearts, led a diamond
to dummy's ace and returned
dummy's last diamond.
When Mr.. Abel did not ruff, he
won with the king, led his last
diamond and ruffed with dunn
my's last trump. This was the
situation he had hoped for q.
that if one opponent were short
in diamonds, he would also be
short in trumps.
He got back to his hand by
rufing a club, picked up Mr..
Meek's last trump and spread
the hand.
If he had taken as many as two
rounds of trumps, early, the
enemy could have led the last
trump off the board when they
were in with a diamond. And
If he had led the ace. king and
another diamond starting at
trick three, Mr.. Meek could have
won the third round and led a
fourth diamond for Mr.. Abel TO
ruff.
There was nothing to the
hand" said Mr.. MuZzy, who
favored the last line Of play men

Attacks upon The Church

recent Gallup Poll indicates that Catholic
could be elected president OF the United States.
According to the poll, sixtynne per cent Of the
people say that q Catholic for president would
be all right one Is tempted 10 ask whetheh or not
the other thirtyone per cent think Catholics are not
acceptable purely because Of religious heiiefs? II
so, they answer why II Is that In all fought
by the United States including the Revolutionary
War, there have been more Catholics percentage
wise In the fighting ranks than there have been
in the population? How could Catholics be so patri-
otto and not be acceptable as president other fac
tors being equal?N
Nevertheless the recent Gallup Poll indicates
that the present acceptance OF possible Catholic
candidate Is seven per cent greater than in 1910
Perhaps this increasing acceptance of Catholics on
the part Of our feowAmercans is some cause
for concern in certain areas For ii would seem
that the attacks upon the Catholic Church today
are vicious libelous and as downright diabolica

WASHINGTON - The whole
world will be watching to see
how this country develops lis
newiy-created office of Assistant
to the President for Disarma-
ment.
Successfully c0nduc ted, it
could cut much of the propagan-
da ground from beneath the
communists and make a real con-
tribution towards world peace.
Botched, the project could BOOM
erang, and provide the enemies
of democracy with whole new
magazine of ammunition. Since
it is already initiated, il is a
work that must be carried out
with wisdom and courage.
There is much speculation as
to what the office is expected
TO accomplish. Some say they
can't see what practical results
can be hoped for, but no one
comes forward to attack the idea
itself. Generally, it is regarded
here as good move, Some OBJ
servers say it's nice to have an

The appointment of "cabi-

the time - even if one had the
competence - to prepare an ade-
quate reply to all of the letters,

papers. The difficulty is due
principally to the fact that many

the American labor movement.
Specific examples are cited from

the labor movement as whole
