Wall Is Silent,
Leaving Fate
Of Cot q Mystery

GLENLORA, Calf, Jan. 20
IR.-All is quiet in the Vincent
Carta home-and an uneasy
quiet it is, too.
The Carta home is the one
where cat, apparently trapped
in a wall, meowed for % days.
Yesterday-the 23d day-no
lmeows were heard.
When the yowlings began to
get weaker. Mrs Carta, an ex-
pectant mother, said that if the
cat died in the walls, she'd move.
Holes were cut in the walls to
try and free the animal, but its
hiding place never has been To-
Gated.
Did the cat wriggle out, or did
1T die? No one knows.
''he Cartas previously were
plagued with calls and visits
from people who said they knew
how to coax the cat out, alive.
But no one came forward with
advice on removing a dead cat.

Secretary of the Army Bruckel
said today that Soviet Russia
has ground army of 2.5 million
men and has done nothing to
reduce that force despite an

before the House Armed Services
Committee to support the pro-
posed Army budget of $9.7 bill
lion for the fiscal year 1858.
Mr.. Brucker contrasted the
Soviet force with the 1-million-

.NAACP Charges
Cab Discrimination

The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People yesterday charged that
Diamond Cab drivers are dis
eliminating against Negroes at
Union Station.
Hack Inspector 1t. Francis
Dunn said he had received a
letter from Clarence Mitchell,
director of the NAACP Washing
ton Bureau. that Diamond driv-
ers had "persistently" practiced
discrimination against Negroes.
1t. Dunn said the letter cited one
specific case, but did not identify
the person allegedly discrimi-
mated against.
1t. Dunn said the letter con-
sisted mostly of "generaliza-
tions" and that he could take
action only on specific reports
including identification of the
persons involved.
Public Utilities Chairman
George E. c. Hayes said he had
not received the complaint,

Prime Minister Harold Mac
millan's government also asked
for a very early reply" to its
proposal for peace talks. The
foreign Office said it did not
consider a statement by Yemen
last week about the talks con-
stituted a genuine reply. Yemen
then referred to parts of the
Alden protectorate as occupied

The protest note was handed
to the Yemeni charge d'affaires
in London. 1t charged that
armed violation" of the Alden
Iprotectorate territory by Yemen
troops at Dhala Airfield Satur-
day was the most serious of a
series of such aggressions.
Reports from Alden said about
100 Yemeni troops attacked the
airf1eld guardpost after crossing
the border under cover of dark
ness. They withdrew on the ap-
proach of defending troops.

Baghdad Pact powers. including
Turkey. Pakistan and Iran along
with Great Britain. BY this
move Iraq incurred the wrath
of the southern tier" powers in
the Middle East-Egypt, Saudi
Arabia, Syria and Jordan.
King Saud of Saudi Arabia,
the banker" of the southern
tier of Arab states, arrives in
New York today and comes to
Washington tomorrow for talks
with President Eisenhower and
other United States officials.
Informal Visit"
Crown Prince Abdul Illah Of
Iraq is due here Thursday for
an informal visit" as the State
Department puts it.
There is room in King Saud'S
busy official schedule for a meet
ing with Prince Illah either Fri
day or Saturday. before the Saudi
Arabian King sets out on a tour
of the country.
Only a fortnight ago, King
Saud joined Egypt'S President
Nasser and the leaders of Syria
and Jordan in vowing they would
never allow their countries to
become spheres of influence for
any foreign power"
This was taken not only as
an indirect slap at President
Eisenhower's new Middle East
policy, regarded as an attempt
to fill the vacuum" in the Mid
die East. but as a criticism Of
Iraq for associating itself with
Britain in the anti-Communist
Baghdad defense treaty.
A meeting between King Saud
and Crown Prince Illah would
have great symbolic meaning in
the Middle East. 1t would tend
to undermine the authority of
Egypt's President Nasser, who
is the leader in condemning Iraq
for breaking the solid Arab
front.
From the American viewpoint,
the meeting would emphasize
the independent viewpoint of
King Saud. regarded as a po-
tential collaboration with the
United States in fighting Com
munist inf1ltration in the Mid
die East.
Both Iraq and Saudi Arabia
have suffered economic setbacks
through the closing of the
Suez Canal, which blocked oil
deliveries to Western Europe.
They are reported to be pri-
vately annoyed by Egypt's ma
tionalization of the old Suez
Canal Co. and the hostilities this
provoked.

We remember once talking
to Raymond Barbas, president
of the Chambre Syndicate de
la Haute Couture in Paris and
hearing him describe why the
French couture was such an
important part of Frances
economy.
1T is not only because it
employs over 100000 people,
but because it is like an engine
that pulls different industries
along with it such as textiles,
lingerie, accessories, and jew
elry," he told us.
This same engine" ap-
proach is to be seen right now
in the fashion play that has
been given to the OPEN
jacketed suits and open neck
line jackets. This fashion is
pulling" along blouses that
have been given new design
touches in order to really make
them show off.
Pearl bibs are a far cry from
the baby bibs to be sure. but
they serve a similar functional
purpose in that they. too. fill
in. Their function is to flatter,
of course, in a very sophis-
ticated manner. One friend
of ours loves to wear her pearl
bib not only with her silk
shirts but those of oxford
cloth, too. But then she's a
pretty secure gal about fash
ion, and has imagination plus.
