Optimism

Republican women were con-
Quoting business as usual yes
terday, and if they had any
nagging doubts about the avail
ability of President Eisenhow-
er as a candidate for re-elec-
ton, they weren't expressing
them out loud.
He'll be better than ever
now" the ladies assured each
other confidently. A brisk
business in Ike" buttons was
being carried on at one side
of the room.
The occasion for all this de-
termined optimism was a tea
at the home of Mrs. George
Humphrey, wife of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Guests
were women who had regularly
attended meetings of the Morn
ing Study Group of the D. c..
League of Republican Women
during the past year.
Mrs. Humphrey and Mrs.
Paul Hatch, chairman of the
study group, greeted the wom-
en- as they arrived.
Just one woman-who didn't
want to be quoted-admitted to
countenancing the possibility
that the G.. o. P. might have

nominee. She, too. she stressed,

Mr.. Eisenhower's most detailed

pared under the direction of

and Secretary of Defense Wilson.

ments most likely to have
aroused the Presidents ire ir
this respect was his charge that
the United States renounces Its
own proposals in the disarma-
ment field "as soon as the So
Wet Union accepts those pro-
Iposals."
Obviously, however, Mr.. Ell
senhower's overriding concern
was with the improperly of the
Soviet Premier's interference in
the current election campaign by
indorsing Mr.. Stevenson's views
about banning atomic tests.
This has become a major is
sue in the campaign. The Presi-
dent has argued that testing
of nuclear weapons is ian in
dispensable part Of our defense
program" and could not safely
be stopped on the basis of an
agreement with the Russians
to do likewise-unless there
were foolproof safeguards which
they refuse to accept-because
Of the Soviet record of breaking
agreements.
Mr.. Stevenson has argued that
control and inspection systems
are not necessary because scien-
fists could detect Immediately a
nuclear test explosion if Russia
violated a ban agreement. Mr..
Eisenhower has countered that
the damage already would be
done when a violation was de-
tected-that the critical thing
to guard against is months-long
preparation for a test, lest the
United States lose it's lead in
atomic weapons development by
living up to a non-testing agree
ment while the Russians don't.

BuIgonin Gets ScoIding
F rom President for Letter

letter to the world Saturday while
Mr.. Eisenhower was flying in
from Los Angles. This haste to
make it public, before he had a
chance to read it, brought the
first angry blast from the Presi-
dent Saturday night soon after
he landed here. He authorized
Mr.. Hagerty to tell newsmen that
this breach of diplomatic cour-
tesy obviously stamps the
letter as a propaganda exercise
rather than a serious attempt to
achieve understanding. ;"
Hagerty Explains
Mr.. Hagerty explained that
previous communications be-
tween Mr.. Bulganin and Mr.. Eli
senhower-there has been a long
series concerning disarmament
have been made public only
simultaneously by agreement, or
by one of the governments in
volved after notifying the other
and receiving no objection. He
said there was no advance notifi-
cation Of the Moscow release this
time.
Because Of the way Moscow re-
leased the Bulganin letter, Mr..
Eisenhower had Mr.. Hagerty give
his reply to newsmen as soon
as they could be called in to the
White House after it was sent
on its way to Moscow for delivery
through the American Embassy
there.
To reporters noting that the
Presidents letter seemed to be
the most angrily worded he ever
had sent to another government
head, Mr.. Hagerty said there
never before had been such prov
ocation.
At the same time, Mr.. Hag-
erty released the State Depart
ment's translation of the Bull
ganin letter. He said there was
some differences between this
translation and the text appear
ing in Sunday newspapers under
Moscow datelines.
The Press Secretary declined
to indicate any specific parts of
the Soviet Premier's letter which
were taken by Mr.. Eisenhower
as impugning his sincerity.

COnfers With Dulles
The Eisenhower message to
Moscow was drafted in a two
hour midday conference with
Secretary of State Dulles in the
Presidents study on the second
floor Of the Executive Mansion.

chairman Lewis L. Strauss and
Undersecretary Of State Herbert
Hoover, jr., joined in the con-
ference part Of the time.

Into five Western States.
Going to the 9 am. service at
National Presbyterian Church,
Mr.. Eisenhower returned to the
White House and called in Mr..
Dulles for their conference that
Started at IL am. and ran until
l pm.
Besides drafting the angry
letter to Mr.. Bulganin, White
House Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty said the President and
Mr.. Dulles discussed latest de-
velopments in the Suez situa-
ton and in Communist Poland's
bold move for independence from
Moscow.
Played Part In Decision
Mr.. Hagerty indicated that
hope Of encouraging Just such
satellite revolt against Moscow
domination that now is going in
Poland played a part in the
Presidents decision last week to
continue economic aid to Com
munist Yugoslavia.
Marshal Tito'S break from
Moscow to run his own kind of
Communism in YugoSlavia has
been supported since 1949 with
American foreign aid money in
an effort to help him demon
strate that "Titoism" could sue
coed. His recent approach
ment with Moscow, even though
still claiming independence
from Soviet domination, led
Congress to decree a stop to
such aid unless the President
ruled that continuing it would
serve American security interests.
II certainly think" Mr.. Hag-
'erty told a queStioner yesterday,
that the Presidents insistence
on continued aid to Yugoslavia
reflects itself in the Polish stu
alton and other unrest in other
satellite nations"
Mr.. Hagerty said he did not
know whether developments in
Poland might bring any change
in Mr.. Eisenhower's election
campaign plans. The only out
of-town trip so far on his sched-
ule this week is to New York
for a major campaign speech in
Madison Square Garden Thurs
day night.
Delivered to Dulles
The Bulganin letter that
stirred the Presidents wrath was
delivered by q Soviet Embassy
Counsellor to Secretary Dulles
here Friday, while the President
was campaigning on the West
Coast. Mr.. Dulles promptly sent
him a brief digest of it.
But, Mr.. Hagerty said, the
Secretary explained to the Rus
sian who delivered the letter that
a full translation would not be
put in the Presidents hands until
after his return to Washington
Saturday night.
Nevertheless, Moscow radio be-

Curator Of Photography

Truly broad horizons await
the camera fan who turns to
the photo enlarger to make his
prints. Not only are there an
infinite number of possible
pictures to be obtained from
a single negative but the
photographer can choose at
will his picture size and often
greatly improve the original
picture in the enlarger.
The photo enlarger is a ma
chine that allows the operator
to change the size of the ORR
ginal negative image at will.
Some must be focused, like the
camera, by hand while other
models feature an automatic
device that keeps the image in
focus at all times. Either will
do nicely for the beginner al
though the auto-focuS enlarger
is recommended for those
whose vision is less than per-
feet.
The enlarger works like this:
The negative is placed in a
carrier with the emulsion side
down. Light passing through a
lamp housing through a system
of lenses casts the picture i'm
age on an easel. The size OF
the image is controlled by rails
ing or lowering the housing and
carriage.
BY placing a sheet of plain
white paper on the easel you
can watch the picture image as
the controls are moved and get
the picture in the exact size
that you want. Then, when the
size and composition is salts
factory simply substitute a
sheet of sensitized paper in the
easel and expose it for the
print.
Processing of prints made by
enlargement is done in the
same way that contact prints
are handled. The exposed print
is placed in tray of developer,
left there until the image is
fully developed. then trans
ferred briefly to the shortStop
solution, and from there to the
fixing baths. and finally to the
wash water.
Now let's look at some of the
advantages entailed in making
our own engagements. In the
