There is greater flexibility
and variety in the framing
of pictures today, reveals Mr..
Manuel Baker, director Of
the IFA Galleries on Con-
necticut avenue NV.
"a poorly framed picture
can ruin the total effect"
avows this expert.
One of the newest treat
ments, he points out, is in
water colors which are being
framed with all the stature
of an oil painting.
Historically, WATER COL
ORS have been framed with
mats and glass, the mat as a
protective measure to keep
the glass of the painting.
In the new look. the wide
mats are being eliminated
and in their place an insert,
very narrow, is being used
with a wide frame. Nom
rejecting glass has turned

President Warns SOviets Summit Meet Is Conditional
By JOHN M. HIcHTOWER

GENEVA, R - The United States has 1warned the Soviet Union that President Eisenhower will refuse to attend a summit conference if Soviet Premier KhruShchev sets some new dead line for a Communist squeeze plan on West Berlin.
 Informants said the American warning was prompted by a sus- picion that Khrushchev would try such a move if the Big Four for eign ministers conference turns out to be what he considers a failure.
 U. s. Secretary of State Herter told Soviet Foreign Minister Gro myko in plain words at a dinner party a few nights ago what the U. s. reaction would be.
 Khrushchev originally set a May 27 deadline for the Western allies to end their occupation of West Berlin and said that on that date he would give the East German Communists control of the Allied supply routes to West Berlin.
 He later postponed the deadline indefinitely. Should he revive it and hand over traffic control to the East Germans, this would raise the danger of a Berlin block ade. The United States reported ly is determined to reject any sum init conference held under a Soviet threat.
