THE only thing that dis
tinguishes my wife particu-
larly from her many hard
working sisters is the fact
that she is a violinist and al
ways insinuates herself into an
amateur orchestra or chamber
music group wherever she goes.
"This does help the USIA
music program. It also permits
me to embarrass her by boast
ing from time to time that she
has played before Winston
Churchill and the crowned
heads Of Europe. Literally
that is true, II only by a tech

GENEVA (JTA) = Plans
are under way to shift to Brit
ain a conference of Europeans
to rally support for Israeps
cause, which was scheduled to
be held in Switzerland the
first week of February. The
conference will be at Brighton,
but the time has not yet been
fixed.
The reason for the shift is
the Swiss Governments posi-
ton that the conference will
hear political speeches criticiz-
ing foreign states, which the
Swiss Vernm e Mt feels
would violate its traditional
neutrality. The sponsors of
the parley, for their part, can
not accept the condition that
speakers refrain from criticiz-
ing foreign states.

Cut in Code

Bedroom space requirements in
Ia proposed Alexandria housing
code were modified last night
after protest from two civic
groups.
The original draft of the code
contained requirements Of 100
square feet for one occupant and
SO square feet for each adj
|ditional occupant. The Straw
berry Hill Citizens Association
and the League Of Women Voters
protested that these require
lments were mrealistic and would
prevent use Of many Alexandria
bedrooms by more than one
person.
The Citizens Housing Advisory
Committee, which Is studying the
proposed code, changed the re-
Iluireml nts to 10 square feet for
|one occupant and so square feet
for each occupant If the room is
used by more than one person.
The committee also reduced
the overall floor space require
|ment from 200 to $50 square feet
for the first occupant and from
