Departing from our usual
themes, this weeks report
concerns itself not with the
collecting Of antiques, but
with the selling of antiques.
The popularity Of the re-
cent series in The Star, Gold
in Your Attic" giving tips on
the value of rare books likely
to be found in almost any
household. prompted q re-
view Of the inquiries received
by this writer.
Many persons who possess
antiques, we find. wish sim
ply to dispose of them. But
they approach the actual sale
with great hesitation. fear
full that they will surrender
something Of great worth for
Q fraction Of its value.

tics and barns for a few dol

dalton.
Actually, there should be
no mystery involved. Simply
break the operation into
three steps: Research, APP
praisal and sale.
Research Important
Almost every class of an
tique in any way worthwhile
has been photographed,

scribed in q book or maya

is available-at the Public
Library. the Library Of Con-
gress, the Index of American
Design in the National Gal
lery or the Smithsonian In
stitution.
It's usually cumbersome to
carry articles to such places,
so take tracings of hallmarks
on silver, drawings Of mark
ings on porcelains and notes
and sketches Of furniture
pieces.
Once you have assured
yourself of the identity Of
the article you wish to SELL
its age. maker and history
you will in turn have assur-
ance In the verdict of a pro-
fessional appraiser as to its
current value.
Items which don't merit the
cost of q professional APP

or more antique dealers.

There was no United States
reaction to this but Washing
ton is already on record as pre-
ferring the three-power ap-
proach.
Big Three Silent
The Big Three foreign min
listers listened but did not
speak at the morning session.
The ministers went into the
session with the feeling that
Moscow is now on the defensive
in summit conference negotia-
tons because the West has
pinned it down on what should
be discussed.
Discussions indicated the
ministers have all but adopted
the theory of Secretary of State
Dulles that the North Atlantic
treaty nations must not rush
into a summit meeting at any
price.
But British Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd told the ministers
yesterday the Russians have
already suffered a propaganda
defeat from the West irving to
pin them down on their vague
talk Of ways to preserve peace.
He cited the Soviet veto in the
United Nations Security Coun-
Gil last week of the United
States Arctic inspection pro-
poSal.
This. Mr.. Lloyd suggested, in
dicated/ Moscow might be start
ing to back away from a sum-
NIT conference in fear Of hav-
ing to face similar choices be-
tween mere talk and approving
specific inspection or disarma-
ment plans.

States, Britain and France

yesterday.
But. surprisingly, Admiral
Radford went even further than
the general In supporting the
Eisenhower reorganization plan.
He told the committee that
the changes requested by the
President. particularly the
added authority for the Sec
retary OF Defense and the new
Joint Chiefs OF Stan setup, may
not be broad enough.
The admiral said that "the
enormous changes coming in
the next 10 years" In military
weapons may require further
reshufiiing Of the national de-
tense establishment.
He said that the big advan-
tage" Of the Eisenhower pro-
posal is that nothing Is nailed
down--it allows fiexibility."
Committee members indi-
Gated, however. that they plan
TO nail some things down before
they approve q reorganization
bill.
There have been persistent
reports that the staff of the
House committee Is drafting
q new and shorter reorganisa-
tion bill for later consideration.
Mr.. Vinson already has in
troduced 4 narrower reorgani-
zation bill which would curb
the power Of the controller andI
slash the number Of civilian
secretaries at the Pentagon
from 20 TO Is. The bill has
been introduced In the Senate
BY Senators Mansfield, Demo-
crat Of Montana. and Bridges,
Republican Of New Hampshire.
During yesterdays session It
was brought out that the Bu-
reau Of the Budget had pre-
pared the first draft Of the
Eisenhower reorganization bill. |

Thompson to See Dulles
United States Ambassador to
Moscow Llewellyn Thompson
brought the text of the note
to Copenhagen to give Mr..
Dulles a full report. He is en-
route to q meeting Of United
States envoys in Paris.
With the Kremlin insisting
on holding preliminary summit
talks with individual ambassa-
dors Of the Western Big Three,
Mr.. Thompson win have a large
part in carrying out decisions
on summit preparations reached
by the foreign ministers here.
The decision were compli-
Gated by a new West German
demand that any summit con-
ference consider German re-
unification.. Russia insists that
the question should be worked
out between West Germany and
the Communist East German
regime, which Bonn refuses to
recognize on the ground it is
Illegal and unrepreSentative.
West German Foreign Min
ister Heinrich Won Brentano
told to other ministers, "the
German question must under
any circumstances be discussed
at a summit conference. The
security Of Europe can not be
so long as it must
hinge on continued division of
Germany"

meeting was later released to
