and her shoe designer. Edward

But probably the most talked
about of Queen Elizabeth's
toilettes are her wonderful
evening gowns designed for
important occasions. These
are usually planned to be worn
with some of the magnificent
jewels the Queen possesses.
Some of these were wedding
presents and some were be-
queathed to her by the late
Queen Mary. No one who has
not actually seen her majesty
in one of these gowns. perhaps
crossed with the blue riband
of the Order of the Garter, can
visualize the effect of beauty.
With her diamond tiara or
diadem flashing brilliantly in
the light, jewels at neck and
wrists and ears sparkling and
glittering in their turn. and
skirts of her gown spreading
widely beneath her small waist,
the picture presented by the
Queen Is unforgettable.
Looks Lovely
Queen Elizabeth is said to
look her loveliest and most re-
gal when she opens the new
session of Parliament in the
House of Lords, with benches
filled with peers in scarlet and

were simple, others deliberately
embroided. All were either
white or in pastel shades. Then
Queen Elizabeth arrived. On
her head was a magnificent

chosen matching jewels. Her
gown, however, was of plain
black velvet moulded to her
figure. The full-length skirt

Reporter MeGoffin's Query Is Believed
Right and Proper Under circumstances

President Eisenhower at his
weekly press conference at last
came out strongly in favor of
his own budget. This restored
normally to the annual battle
of the budget and refuted crit
les who have charged him with
trying to get credit both for
generosity and economy.
The spectacular incident of
the press conference when the
President lost his temper ut
terly and alarmingly with a
reporter, threatens however,
to remove that institution out
Of the area of its normal
operations.
Reporters today are talking
very soberly about what hap
pens when one of them asks
Mr.. Eisenhower a question
which puts him on the defen-

winding and has dangerous

the United States. the late

Reminders of this kind were
left unsaid in the face Of the

The politicians who would

for his administration have
been hampered by the same

two-fisted way they consider
his actions justify because
they do not feel responsible
for his physical well-being.

Peiping regime as an aggressor
was overwhelmingly approved
in 1851 to justify a recon-
sideration of the position of
Red China. Our top leaders
also pointed out that the
Peiping administration has not
had even the ordinary decancy

Korean truce signed in 1858
and has broken them consist
emily. While the U. N. may
have closed its eyes III the past

niSts have SO flouted the world
peace organization that it
would be tlagrantly immoral
to take them into the fold.
Mr.. Macmillan is reported to
have agreed with the position
of President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles. He did
not apparently give any def
mite pledge that Britain will
oppose the admission Of Red
China in the place Of .ho Ma
tionalist government next
September when the Soviet
delegation at the U. N. will
insist for the eighth time that
the Popping regime and not the
one at Taipei represents the
Chinese people. But his whole
attitude indicates that Britain
would again vote with us that
the whole matter be shelved
until the 1858 General AS

able stand is expected to doom
what appeared before the
Bermuda meeting to be the
sure admission of Peiping to

tax. This was due to the de-
pletion allowance and offset Of
foreign taxes against domestic
taxes.
Senator Douglas provided a
lot more Recommendation, with
Treasury reports on 81 oil COM
panies. most Of them covering
the 10 years from l945 TO
1854 inclusive, but two OF
shorter periods. OF these, one
had paid no taxes at all for
seven years Of record, l948 to
1854. OF the rest, one had
paid no taxes at all for five of
the 10 years, though its income
ranged from $4,000 to S3.2
million. One paid no income
tax for four of the 10 years.
Four paid no tax for two Of
the 10 years, including Supe-
rior Oil Company of California,
whence, you may recall, came
the $500 offer of campaign
contribution that Senator
Francis Case. Republican Of
South Dakota, exposed on the
Senate floor last year and
rejected.
Senator Douglas pointed out
that other corporations paid
taxes ranging from 38 to So per
cent. the latter the maximum
rate for corporations. Out of
the q oil companies not
one ever had paid in any
of the 10 years as high as
38 per cent. One had paid

10 years; but the average for

British Cooperation on u. NJ Exclusion
Expected After Conference in Bermuda

For the first time since Brit
ain recognized the Peiping
regime there has been what
diplomats describe as an AREA
Of genuine understanding" be-
tween the United States and
Britain at the Bermuda talks
regarding Strade with Com
munist China and its admis-
sion to the United Nations.
According to reliable leaks"
Prime Minister Macmillan
brought up the question of Of
ficially lifting the embargo on
trade with Communist China
established when the Chinese
Reds interviewed in the Korean
war. He pointed out that Brit
ain faces a more severe eco
nomic situation than ever in
the past and that no market,
however small, can be disre-
garded by the London govern
ment.
British exporters have been
doing an extensive bootleg
trade, including strategic ma
terialS. with the Chinese Com
munists. But IN recent months
the men in Peiping, while des-
perately in need Of raw and
manufactured materials, have
been slowing down trade in
the expectation that they
would thus force the official
removal Of the embargo.
Our Government is, of course.
aware of Britains economic
difficulties. The administra-
ton will continue to shut It's
eyes. as in the past. to the
many contraventions of the
Battle Act, which provides that
any nation which receives
American economic assistance
will lose 1t If it sells strategic
materials to Communist coun-
tries. But it is known that pub
lie sentiment at home and our
own position in the Far East
precludes our agreeing to lift
the embargo. Furthermore.
the trade ban was ordered as
a punishment for Communist
Chlna's aggressive actions. And
Peiping has given no indica-
ton that it has repented.
To the surprise of those
present at the closed door
meeting in Bermuda. Mr.. Mac
milan expressed his under
standing Of our position and
merely suggested that We give
the matter some further study.
The most important develop
ment was Mr.. Macmillan's re-
ported sympathy and appre-
citation" for our insistence that
Communist China not be ad-
mitted to the U. N. when the
matter is brought up next
September by the Soviet-Asian
bloc. President Eisenhower and
Secretary Of State Dulles are
said to have pointed out that
the U. N. should not prostitute

diency.

What If President Is Disabled?

moved" so there can be no
legal doubts raised as to any
bills he might sign or any
other acts he may perform in
the interim of a Presidents
disability. For when an "act-
ing President" takes the oath
as President, it must be
crystal clear whether he is to
serve for the remainder of a
Presidents term or only for
a period undetermined at the
outset but which is left to a
commission to determine def
initely as the condition of a
President develops one way or
the other.
In many English speaking
countries. of course, such as
Canada, Australia. New Zea-
land. England-in fact. wher-
ever they have a parliamentary
form of government-the ma
tional legislative body can re-
move the Prime Minister at
any time by majority vote
or leave it to the people to
decide in special election
whether he shall remain or be
replaced.
This is the really flexible
way to deal not only with the
mental or physical ill-health
or disability of a President, but
also with any political i'll
health he may encounter in
the course of the term for
which he was originally elected.
In an atomic age. it would
seem sensible to give two
thirds of both houses of Con-
gress the right to select
President at any time he fails
to win a vote of confidence
or else to submit the issue to
the people to decide in an cleo
ton called Immediately for
that purpose.
A modification of the par
liamentary system to conform
to American political habits
would. if adopted now, prob
ably solve a. lot of the ques-
tons that the people will have
to face in the amendment

ability
