long. giving a height at the
ridge of approximately 2l2
feet high enough so that an
average-sized man could
stand upright inside.
White (translucent) fiber
glass is suggested for the
roof, bought in g. foot
lengths and sawed in half.
The thinner grade has ample
strength for this size, with
each panel overlapping one
corrugation. Mailing top and
bottom careful not to break
the glass; should be suffi-
cient. But each overlap
should be over a joist so that
a nail or two could be added.
Use your hand drill to help
go through the overlap.
At opposite ends on each
side, a light frame should be
used on which to fasten the
fiber glass panels for venti-
lationS. One-by 2-inch pieces
should be used for this
frame, with simple butt
joints at corners and small
hinges at top up under the
bent-metal roof cap, but
they should not extend so far
as to prevent the panel from
being propped up a reason

a short stick.

Within the American camp
at least. there's no question

Realism" to the French and
West Germans means Offering
no political or military conces-
sions until the Russians offer
first. They don't believe allied
rights need redefinition. They
deride talks of arms reductions
on local zones. They demand
political concessions in return
for military relaxations.
Mr.. Herter and his advisers

Whether the other allies win

Earopsan Correspondent Of The star
: PARIS, April 29.-The, big
problem which confronts the
Western foreign ministers meet
ing here Is what TO do when
Russia turns down their pack
age plan" for Germany.
Apart from a number Of de-
tails, 1t seems probable that
the plan worked out by experts
in London will be accepted by
the foreign ministers and laid
on the table In the opening
phase Of the East-West confer
ence which starts in Geneva
on May IL. But there is no
question at all that as 1t stands
The plan will be rejected
promptly by Russian Foreign
iinister Andrea Gromyko.
The predictability OF this
russian reaction is perhaps the
lain reason why the present
,ackage plan is acceptable to
be allies. All three major parts
If the plan-which include a
new agreement on Berlin, a
cheme for the "phased" re-
MITIGATION Of Germany ending
n free elections and proposals
on European security-contain
features unacceptable to one
member or another of the alli-
nee. But as long as they also
contain other features far more
unacceptable to Russia and as
'ong as various parts are firmly
bound together, agreement be-
ween the allies is possible.
Agreement on how to go on
from there is a good deal more
difficult. The main question to
be resolved by the ministers is
whether the opening Western
package plan amounts 70 a
hard" position from which
there can be no retreat or bar
gaining position open TO re-
vision and compromise.
On this question the split be-
tween the allies seems as deep
as ever. While the Germans
and French openly admit that
the present plan goes further
than they would like to 60 the
British are still arguing their
case for maximum Western
fiexibility In the coming nego-
tiations.
The British, for instance,
hope that once the plan is Ire
sented the Allies will at least
agree to examine various parts
separately. The objective would
be to discover how far under
various headings the conflict
ing East-West points of view
may be brought together. 1t is
no secret either that the Brit
ish believe that more progress

plantation, his arrival at Au-

until Saturday morning,

eested that one way out Of the
difIiculty was for the Vice Pres

that time.
In response 10 another ques-
ton, the President said he
thought there had been a lot
OF unnecessary and unprofit-
able speculation about his in
tentions in regard to appoint
ment OF Mr.. Herter as Secretary
Of State.
A reporter reminded him
that during the three days be-
tween his announcement OF Mr..
Dulles resignation and Mr..
Herter's appointment there was
considerable speculation in
Washington that the delay in
dicated he was reluctant to
name Mr.. Herter Secretary Of
State.
Ever since MIR. Dulles found
that he was suffering from a
recurrence Of cancer. the
President said. the former
Secretary had taken UP with
him voluntarily the question Of
his successor.
Both Agree on Herter
After discussing the whole
field" he said. he and Mr.,
Dulles concluded that Mr.,
| Herter, then Undersecretary OF
State, was the man for the Job
If Mr., Dulles should have 70
resign. He explained that
nothing was said about this
decision at the time because
he did not want to start specu-
| lation in view of the fact that
it was not known then but
what Mr.. Dulles might recover
sufficiently to resume his Job.
When Mr.. Dulles doctors
finally said that it would be
better for him to resign. Mr.
Eisenhower said the one thing
that concerned him about M
Herter was his health.
A physical examination gave
IMr. Hefter a clear health cer-
Itificate to go ahead, the Presi-
dent said, and he was Their
