Disarmament Talks,
Dulles Declares

Secretary Of State Dulles de-
clared yesterday that disarma-
ment negotiations now being con-
Quoted In London will continue
as long as there is the slightest
advantage to be gained by fur
ther exploration.
Mr.. Dulles made the statement
In q brief formal comment in
connection with the appointment
Of Harold Stassen as special as
'sistant to President Eisenhower
for disarmament problems. He
said:
II have been asked about the
effect Of Mr.. Stassen's appoint
ment as the Presidents special
assistant for disarmament prob
lens on the negotiations now be-
ing carried on in the United Ma
tons Disarmament subcommittee
in London.
1.-THE discussions in London
are continuing and will con-
tinue as long as there is the
slightest advantage to be gained
by further exploration of the
subject. The United States rep
resentative, Ambassador James
J. Wadsworth, is ably represent
ing the United States in these
discussions. The United States
Is faithfully carrying forward its
efforts to find a formula for eff
fective and safeguarded dis
armament"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Stassen said
after conference with the Pres
ident today that he was i'm
pressed anew with the intense
devotion" of Mr.. Eisenhower to
"the search for the basis for
peace in this atomic age"
Mr.. Stassen said he had a pre-
liminary discussion with the
President about the manner of
proceeding in his new assign
ment, in which he will concen-
trate first on an analysis of
where we are now" in the search
for some practicable disarma-
ment agreement.
He said he expects to form a
small staff by borrowing people
already familiar with the prob
lens involved from the State and
Defense Departments and the
Atomic Energy Commission.

The Commissioners yesterday
approved construction Of a tower
and installation of an air raid
warning horn at Reno Reservoir.
at a cost of about $1,000.
Civil defense officials explained
this is one of the warning loca-
tons where a suitable private
building is not available. The
siren concerned is now at Amer
lean University, which Civil De-
tense Director John e. Fondahl
said had requested its removal.
It is planned to locate other
such horns in Brentwood Park
and on the Emory tract at Geor-
gia and Missouri avenues.
Matching funds for the Reno
Reservoir installation are to be
obtained by the District from
the Federal Civil Defense ADJ
ministration, the Commissioners
were advised.

Of the bride or groom, intro
duces dresses In unfamiliar
lace colors such as raspberry

sheaths are causing even more
comment. One titled "Algiers"
was mysterious and pro-
vocative with its rounded
neckline of nylon marquisette
in a powder color and its
brown lace sheath featuring a
waist insert Of blue satin. Her
gay cotton printed dresses
look like pure silk. That's be-
cause the cotton has been
loomed on silk looms.
Peggy Hunt and Jeannette

Fabric magic seems to be evi-

embroidered to look like re-
embroidered laces. The guess

added that the ratio of the
number of churches to the
population of Moscow was
small. In a city of over
8 million there is one Ro-
man church, several Jewish
synagogues and SIS Russian
Orthodox churches, he re-
ported.
Asked whether he believes
there is a chance Of a revolu-
ton in Russia, Senator Frear's
answer was, "I saw no signs Of
a revolution among the people
observed and if there is one
would think it would be In
the Communist Party Itself"
Asked to what he attributed
the flop at Geneva" he said
that he felt there was a differ
ence between the Russian
people and the Kremlin, that
the party leaders had pre-
pared smiles" which would
last just as long as they
wanted them to.
To both Of these answers
the Senator added that he was
of the definite belief that the
Russian people were not in ac-
cordance with their leaders.
The Senator also visited sew
eral other European countries

ing of the International None
tary Fund and the Interna-

The Russian people do not

Russian leaders are Of a diff

Frear, Democrat of Delaware,
said yesterday.
The Senator. who recently
visited the Soviet Union with
several Of his senatorial coll

a luncheon Of the Womap's
National Democratic Club at
the clubhouse.
During a two-hour confer

Senators that I'VE know we are

Senator Frear summed UP

Nov. 18.-The five notes being
played on California's mono

green and a bisque tone Of pale
beige.
You'll see these tones in light
weight jerseys. fiannels, broad

and silky fieeces.
The Wool Bureau showed
them to the visiting fashion
editors in a complete show but
we'd been seeing the colors all
through the week in the collec-
tions Of all the designers.
Another member Of the fab-
ric family scored in the Dor
othy O'Hara dress collection.
Quite a relief from the rayon

currently crazy about. were

with drapery detail at the
tummy line. A black surah
silk, printed with small red
roses and with a side-swept
draping at the bodice and
skirt, also showed the design

Cocktail Costume
Another designer providing
relief from the stark sheath
look was Manchini, who had
chiffon scarfs floating from
the double slit pocket that is
her design signature on many
linen dresses. Completely Hol-
lywood were the gold metallic
cocktail pants - dress with
three-fourths dolman sleeves
and toreador pants.
Vego juniors featured q full

green over q green and white
striped dress.
To Pat Premo goes q lot of
credit for the California sun
dress that can be worn for
many moods around the clock.
Her metallic decorated and
woven white tucked cotton
chiffon is such a one. A fiow-
ing back scarf is a signature.
The neckline Of the dress is
shirred by the scarf which
pulls through and also forms

Rocky's Tactics in Ring
Defended by Dempsey

NEW YORK, May 10 P.-
Jack Dempsey, who wasn't called
the Manassa Mauler for nothing.
today defended Rocky Marcia
nos fighting tactics and Sug-
gested that the English "stick to
their tea and crumpets."
"Sure, Rocky is a rough fight
err" said the beetle-browed for
mer heavyweight champion,
"but he's not a dirty fighter. He
never does anything deliberately
and these things have to be
judged on intent.
"Marciano, it so happens, is
just not a finished boxer. He is
a wild swinger who, when he
misses with a left, is liable to hit
you with his head. He is always
boring in with head, elbows and
anything else he has handy.
II think if he had been a
straight-hitting, finished punch
er he could have got rid of Don
Cockell in the first round"
Dempsey, who watched the
fight on a theater screen in Chi
cago. said Marciano's tactics
