star stan Writer

Miss Chloe Clifford of Lex
ington. KY, new president Of
the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs, is a dynamic
go-getter with definite ideas
on what the ii million club
women she's to direct for the
next three years can do for
the future.
I'VE can't afford to bask in
past glory" she declared at
her first press conference
yesterday, as she outlined
what her administration is
going to do at home and for
its foreign clubs abroad.
Using the federation's past
experience in meeting COM
munity needs through its an
nual Community Achievement
contests and her own wide
experience in extension serv-
ice work at the University Of
Kentucky as a Springboard,
Miss Clifford has selected
community service as the No.
project for the clubwomen
to tackle.
Merger" In Prospect
Already the wheels are in
motion. she revealed. for "a
merger" of the federation
with the National University
Extension Association. whose
members are drawn from the
land grant colleges which
have done so much of the
pioneer work in community
service. They can provide

how and the services, such as

Eight hundred homemak-
ers, aged "a 10 e5, poured
onto the University Of Mary
land campus yesterday and
quickly assumed the look Of
college girls.
They settled In the dorms,
kicked on their shoes. un-
packed. got acquainted and
chartered through the halls
like any students on the first
day at school.
The women came from all
Is Maryland counties and
Baltimore City to attend the
32d annual Rural Womens
Short Course, an Extension
Service program which runs
through Friday.
The curriculum for the
week stresses home economies
and agriculture but the
courses include everything
from development Of self con-
fidence 10 international rela-
tions.
The housewives are also
studying sketching. citizen-
ship and civil defense, press
and radio, parliamentary law,
music. landscape gardening,
birds. health and safety, lead
ership training and other
subjects.
Vacation to Many
The scholastic life is a real
vacation for most of these
women, who come from
farms. small towns, cities and
suburbs. Some are specifi-
cally interested in certain
courses. but many are there
just for the experience. A
large percentage had at
tended the short course be-
fore. Mrs. Emma Taylor of
Annapolis is back for her 2lst
year.
Mrs. A. H. Greenwood Of
Takoma Park. who will be So
on Christmas Day, is attend
ing for her second year. She
taught school of and on from
the time she was is until
well past 20 and she said
that although she's not as
healthy as she was last year,
Il came back because I've
always enjoyed studying. I've
studied all my life"
There are 81 day hops"
Cat last count and not all Of
these live close by. One comes
all the way from Garrett
County and two travel daily
from Allegheny County.
How priced the Short Course
is by some homemakers is
illustrated by the case Of Mrs.
Robert Stevens. She is a
military payroll clerk at the
Naval Hospital in Bethesda
and has to finish up the fiscal
records by June 30. Mrs.
Stevens has been working on
Saturdays to complete the
job, so she could take time
on for this university pro-

Senators have offered a bill to

Senators Kefauver, Douglas,
Democrat of Illinois; O'Ma-
honey, Democrat of Wyoming;
LANCER. Republican of North
Dakota: Hennings, Democrat of
Missouri, and Terrell, Demo-
crat of Colorado, proposed that
auto buyers be refunded this

retary-General Paul Henri

summit still is possible. The

The British government was
believed TO face the most difn-
cult selling job. Labor opposi-
ton and the intellectual minor
ity within the Conservative
Party Is fascinated by the sum-
NIT idea. With elections COM
ing probably next year and with
an apparent trend In Britain
away from the Conservatives,
the government cannot afford
to slap sumrAit-minded voters
In the face.
So the British Foreign Min
lister is already claiming he in
serted the most positive SEN
tences into the communique.
And Scandinavian, Belgian and
German delegates assume sim
liar credit.
But this was indeed among
the most harmonious of foreign
ministers meetings. Despite
preconference differences or
hard and soft lines on the sum-
init, the delegates found COM
mon ground. II remains TO be
seen whether the European
public will like 1t.
New Steps Listed
Success may depend on the
ability actually to find new
initiatives in the cold war. The
foreign ministers didn't an
nounce any here but they did
agree in general to:
l. Take the best Western
proposals out of the big negoti-
ating package and push attrac-
tive items individually. One
package. however. is not to be
broken-the insistence that
nuclear disarmament be linked
to simultaneous conventional
arms reduction.

After Mr.. Dechert conceded
that under the administration
proposal any component part
OF the military service could be
abolished, Mr.. Gavin asked:
Don't you think that's a bit
broad? There are some doubts
In the minds of the members
that the power TO transfer and
consolidate is a bit too broad.

gress could participate2"
Congress can't deal with
specifics, Congress can't fight

The Pentagon counsel said he
believes the 30-day notice the
Defense Secretary would be re-
quired to give the chairman Of
the congressional Armed Serv-
ices Committee would be a suf-
ficient safeguard against any
action being taken on combat

please Congress.

man of the two armed services

Red Evasion Charged
The Secretary accused Soviet
leaders of evading the 1855

out reuniflcation of Germany
by means Of free elections. He
predicted that some day the
Russians will reverse their stand

of Germany in freedom.

delegation adamantly opposed
both the liberation of Austria
and the reunif1cation of Ger
