Chemical Blasts
Rock Two Towns

PORTLAND, Conn, July 30
(AP). - Exploding chemicals
shook two communities today
and lit up the pre-dawn sky as
flames destroyed a chemical
distributing depot.
Thirteen tanks of industrial
chemicals exploded in the blaze,
which a fire official said appar-
emily began accidentally.
The biggest blast, which
knocked sleepers from their
beds here and in Middletown
across the Connecticut River,
came when a 13.000-gallon
tank of alcohol exploded.
The flames at times burst
like rocket blasts 500 feet high.
Flaming debris was scattered
over a wide area. Sparks land
ed on some private homes. The
Pickering rooftops we're wetted
down quickly by firemen, how
ever.
Between 20 and 100 families
were evacuated temporarily
from their homes.
Eight f1remen were slightly
burned when they were sprayed
by an exploding barrel of acid.
No other injuries we're reported.
C. Albert Mugford, manager
of the company, Phillip Broth
ers Chemicals Co., Inc, esti-
mated the loss at half million
dollars. -

Ancient Records
Found at Pompeii

POMPEII, Italy, July 30
(AP). - Archaeologists have
found a bundle of ancient doc
ucents in the ruins of Pompeii
that may answer a lot of ques-
tons about the economic life
of the Roman empire.
The wax-coated papers, called
tabulae ceratae, were dug up
in a Roman villa buried in the
mud of the nearby River Sarno.
The papers were well pre-
served nearly 1000 years after
an eruption of Mount Vesuvius
buried this Roman resort near
Naples under a thick bed of
cinderS and ashes
Prof. Amedeo Maiuri, super
intendent of Pompeii, said the
documents dealt mostly with
real estate transactions.
THE discovery will help i'm
mensely in learning more about
the economic situation of this
city around the first century Of
the Roman empire" he said.

PARIS, July 80 (AP). -
Yves Sain-Laurent, for Dior,
cut the highest hemlines of
the season today. some of
them showing the kneecap in
front, and even resurrected
sacks.
He calls it all the new
woman of 1860" look.
None of the new skirts are
literally above the knee, and
all curve down in the back.
Young Saint Laurent'S
mother says she'll wear them,
but the Duchess of Windsor
says Il won't"
Obviously out to shock with
a "do or die" collection. Dior's
designer didn't quite dare to
go too far. Only few of his
boldest skirts show the knee
cap in front, while a great
many are at the top of the
calf, and the big majority
cover the knees completely.
None of the skirts were
hoiSted to knee level entirely
around the hem. But in a few
the effect was to show the knees
in front of the dress, in draped
fashion, while the rest of the
hem curved downward at the
rear.
Saint-Laurent thus achieved
something of a shocker but re-
duced the impact by not raising
AemlineS all the way around.
The young successor to Chris
tan Dior practiced the kneecap
approach on very few of his
models. but these made it clear
that followers of the new

display both knees Willie

Citizen Group
Urges Tighter
Family Laws
Report Asks Ban
On Lettering
By Children
BY BETTY MILES
Star Stan Writer

Laws to prohibit children
from lettering in public and
making parents responsible for
intentional damage by their
children were recommended to-
day by a citizen group.
The suggestions, included in
a report on Family IrresponSi-
bility," are intended to help
solve the problem blamed on
spiraling relief rolls and the
growing number of homeless
children in the District.
Also recommended was a CO.
ordinator of social services for
the District to eliminate piece
meal" help now parceled out
by a variety of agencies.
Under the proposed anti
lettering legislation "objec-
tionable" public loafing by chill
dren under Is would be pro-
hibited. The law also would
include penalties for the loiter-
ers, their parents and owners
or operators of public places
who habitually encourage or
permit such behavior.
Responsibility PrOvisO
Penalties also. would be in
cluded in the law making par
ents responsible for Intentional
damage done by their children.
The report was released by
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle,
chairman of the District Com
mittee for the 1860 White
House Conference on Children
and Youth.
1t was proposed by a sub
committee. If it is approved by
the full committee at a District
Building meeting August 10,
it will beome one of the Dis
trict's five contributions to the
national conference, scheduled
here next spring.
The subcommittee said the
co-ordinator of social services
should work in the Office of the
District Commissioner con-
cerned with welfare. The new
official also would be charged
with co-ordinating long-range
social planning in the District.
Federal Grants Seen
Such a program, sponsored
by the Commissioners, probably
would have to be launched here
with District funds, but since
the problem of helping multi
problem families" is Nation
wide, Federal grants eventually
could finance it here and else
where, the report said.
The report is concerned
chiefly with the responsibility
: of parents. In the final
analysis, only perSonalized at
tention to families can over
come the general apathy and
widespread resistance of ir-
responsible parents" it is
noted.

forenoon, Mr.. Nixon came out
with a very strong indication
that he favors either a quick
meeting of President EiSen-
hover and Premier Nikita
Khrushchev or a quick agree
ment at Geneva which would
permit a summit conference.
II do not pretend that per-
sonal contact would solve the
basic problems of the world"
he said and added briefly
later:
This trip of mine will be
followed by others including
contact between other leaders.

The statement came in the
wake of reports that he was
on the verge Of recommending
that President Eisenhower in
vite Mr.. KhrushcheV to the
United States for a visit. He
has repeatedly remarked that
a look is worth hundred de-
scriptionS.
Herbert G. Klein, Mr.. NiXon'S
press spokesman, said he is in
clined to the belief Mr.. Nixon
referred to the hope that a way
would be found for a summit
conference. But the drift among
Mr.. Nixon's followers seemed
to be towards recommending a
visit by Mr.. KhrUshchev at a
suitable time.
For the first time on his
tour, Mr.. Nixon really went
into the mills and mines long
enough to see what was going
on, at least in part. HIS Scneu-
ule in other spots had been
so tight that frequently he had
less than half an hour to see
things and places that diplo-
mats never had been allowed
to view.
Warmest Welcome
1t was his next to last day
in the Siberian industrial COM
pick of 100000 persons and
perhaps the one where he re-
ceived the warmest welcome.
People all through this ter
ritory cheered him as they

KhrushcheV's
Plan Divides
Geneva Farley
Briton Calls Speech
Splendid Stuff
But U. S. Dissents
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER



Associated Press STAFF Writer
GENEVA, July 30.-United
States officials took a dim view
today of Nikita S. Khrushchev's
proposal that the Big -Four
foreign ministers "agree on
what they can agree" and then
stand aside for a summit meet
ing. But a British official
called the Soviet premier's
speech splendid stuff"
Mr.. Khrushchev's speech in
the Ukraine Tuesday was made
public last night after East
and West agreed to halt the
foreign ministers talks next
Wednesday, with or without
settling the grave issue of Ber-
lin.
High United States officials
said the Western powers will
make every effort in the dying
days of the Geneva conference
to reach a Berlin accord. But
they emphasized only an end
to the Soviet threat to West
Berlin will persuade the United
States to accept a summit con-
ference. The French attitude
toward a summit meeting is
similar.
The British official who
thought Mr.. Khruslchev's
speech was good one said
the Soviet leaders remarks in
dictated he clearly wanted a
summit conference on Berlin.
Lloyd to Seek Agreement
British Foreign Minister Sell
wyn Lloyd is expected to spend
the closing week in Geneva
trying to get a Western agree
ment to go to the summit. Mr..
Lloyd probably will argue that
differences between the Soviet
Union and the West have been
substantially narrowed.
Secretary of State Herter
and Mr.. Lloyd conferred this
morning on disarmament queS-
lions they may bring up with
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko before the Geneva
meetings end. Mr.. Lloyd told
reporters he and Mr.. Herter
had not talked about the Ger
man problem.
Allied spokesman said in the
last seven days Mr.. Herter.
Mr.. Lloyd and French Foreign
Minister Maurice Couve de
Murville will make an intensive
effort to work out an interim
Berlin settlement with Mr..
Gromyko. But they had no real
hope he would give them West
Berlin guarantees unlimited in
time, or would drop his re-
Ijected demand for formation
of an alderman negotiating
committee on unification of
Germany.
Long Recess Favored
Their practical objective
therefore, was to try to gel
Mr.. Gromyko to agree to re-
cess the conference for a long
period-perhaps three months
in the hope that Mr.. Khru-
shchev would refrain in the
interim from any unilateral &C.
ton against West Berlin. Brit
ish diplomats made clear thai
Mr.. Lloyd would prefer a sum
