Dulles Raps Soviet Diplomacy

WASHINGTON, R - Secre- tary of State Dulles Tuesday ac- cused the Soviet Union of having debauched and prostituted inter national diplomacy and peace making processes for propaganda purposes.
 Soviet propaganda use of let ters exchanged with President Eisenhower, Dulles said, is des- troying one of the frail reeds up- on which peace rests.
 He said the kremlin is there fore endangering peace.
 Dulles told a news conference US, British and French ambas- sadors might open pre-summit talks in Moscow Thursday-the date suggested by Russia. But he said he was not sure because a note replying to Russia's state ment of terms for negotiation has not been completed.

New Visitor Center And Housing Units Planned
 For Mt. Mckinley Park

MCKINLEY PARK, Alaska-A $400,974 contract for a visitor center and six employee housing units at Mount Mckinley Ma tional Park, Alaska, the Depart ment of the Interior announced today. The bid was the lowest of seven received.
 Director Conrad l.. Wirth of the National Park Service said the structures will be the first of their type to be provided in the park under the long-range Mis- sion 66 park conservation and development program. This pro- gram anticipates the adequate equipping and staffing all areas of the National Park System by 1866, the Park Services fiftieth anniversary year.
 The new visitor center, Wirth explained, will be located at Mount Eielson on the trans-p park road 66 miles from the park en- trance. Its site affords spec tacular view of majestic, snow clad, 20,320-foot Mount Mckinley and overlooks the lower reaches of the Muldrow Glacier. In ad- dition to interpretive facilities, the center will contain public rest rooms, utility rooms, and quarters for seasonal park en- ployees.

John Bassett Moore High School
was staged by Fleming Orem,
one of Americas foremost vir-
tuosos of the marimba, and his
wife, Viola, a concert singer
formerly with the Pacific Opera
Company, and a marimba SOLO
ist. Mr.. Orem first explained
to the students the tonal quality
of the marimba which has a
keyboard like that of the piano,
and noted the difference be-

from South American rhythms
and those of Spain to contem-

of Mexico. He said that the
background to the marimba is
that of Guatemala. The artists
were presented by James Per-
singer, president of Student
