ings of stained-glass prints,
new-hued glen plaids and bold
floral splashes.
Easy Waistlines
Waistlines are in evidence,
easily defined, relaxed in look.
Necklines are absolutely unlim-
tied in their many variations
from cardigan to deep "
plunges. Included are such
themes as jewel and slit neck
lines, scoops, bateaus, cowls,
diagonals, mandarin, sabrinas
and pie cuts.
Skirts have their day in mod
flied sheath stylings; pleats in
countless variations; trumpet,
pouf, breezeway and bias cuts.
Many dresses have lots of mid
riff interest, or at the lowered
waistline others make the
neckline a focal point while
many after-five styles put the
spotlight on hemlines with har-
EN- draperies and accents.
Important in dresses too, are
the many little extras of match
ing jackets or other tops, to
make the dress much more ele-
CANT, much more versatile.

Simple Rules Stressed
For Building in Hi-Fi

A built-in high-fidelity music
system can be an important
part of your remodeling plans,
ana it's no trick to install.
IF you select the best com
ponents you can afford, a built
in hi-fi system gives you all the
beauty and enjoyment of good
music with the utmost in con-
venience," according to engi-
.neers of a leading maker of hi.
fl components.
They recommend these rules
to guide you:
/. If you presently have hi-fi
components skip this part. But
if you're starting out, the basic
components are an amplifier, a
record changer OF turntable, a
tone arm with a magnetic cart
ridge (the component that holds
the needle), and a speaker-two
speakers if you have a stereo
system. You can also add a
radio tuner to bring in AM or
FIN broadcasts.
2. Lay them out in approx
mately the location they'll be
in when you build them in, then
hook them up. Determine II
the layout sounds good and is
convenient. This is especially
important with stereo.
3. Speakers can be mounted
in cabinets which can stand on
the floor or be hung from the
wall. Or if true built-in look
is what you want, you can in,
stall speakers in recesses in the
walls or ceiling. If you do this
make sure the recess is proper
ly insulated and baffled. Your
high-fidelity dealer can give you
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-03-16

specific information on this sub.
ject. He can also provide the
grill cloth to cover the wall or
ceiling opening.
4. If you plan on additional
speakers in other rooms of the
house, make sure the wires for
this are laid in place before the
remodeling is complete. Ordi.
nary lamp cord is often suffi-
Gent for the hook-up.
5. Provide for sufficient ven.
tilation for your amplifier and
tuner. If the space you put
them in is small, air holes or a
grilled door should be used to
let in enough air. Without ven.
tilation, the heat from the tubes
can permanently damage the
equipment.
8. Make sure the components
are easily accessible for servic.
ing. You'll need to reach the
amplifier and tuner occasional.
ly to replace burned out tubes,
or you may wish to hook UP
additional accessories to the am.
plifier from time to time.
z. Build in adequate record
storage space. The space should
accommodate the records stored
upright, preferably in cubby-
holes of II to 20 records, and
should be away from hot water
pipes or radiators.
8. If you install equipment in
walls, make sure that studding
and bracing are adequate. Don't
make the mistake of resting the
amplifier, tuner, changer OIL
turntable, and records on un
supported pieces of plywood.

President Is Expected
To Alter Test Policy

Of 1859. However, all three OF
the atomic powers at the Ge-
neva talks-RusSia, Britain and
the United StateS-have fol-
lowed a no-testing policy since
the parley began in 1858.
Pentagon and Atomic Energy
Commission advocates of fur
ther development of the United
States atomic arsenal have
chafed under the moratorium
claiming the Soviets may be
conducting sneak tests while
the Geneva talks drag on.
Whether the United States
would actually resume its tests
under the revised policy would
depend on further judgments,
informants said.
One factor is the adverse
propaganda effect of being the
first to set off new atomic ex-
plosions. Another is the
United States-Soviet atomic
gap. Assuming the United
States now has the lead, it is
contended by some that Amer
lea would lose its advantage if
the Russians now concentrate
on testing.

Gated the new policy, shaping
up as a result of the apparent
failure of the Geneva test talks,

sions if this serves the national
interest.
At the same time, these
sources said, the United States
would continue to attend the
ong-drawn-out Geneva confer
ence as long as the Russians
want to talk there.
The United States would not
necessarily proceed with A
blasts but would not regard
itself as bound by a morato-
rum because the talks were
still continuing, it was stated.
Hints at Change
Mr.. Kennedy hinted at a
change in his speech last night
reporting on his Vienna meet
ing with Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev. When he entered Of
flee, the President promised to
make one more sincere try at
reaching a test ban agreement
at the Geneva conference which
started in November, 1858. The
Russians have rebuffed West
ern proposals this spring.
Mr.. Kennedy said no hope
emerged from his talk with Mr..
Khrushchev. Rather, he said,

inois politics, has a strong claim
to the loyalty of Republican
organization workers. Mr..
Percy, though nationally publi-
cized as chairman of the 1860
platform committee, has con-
fined his Illinois political ef-
forts to the fund-raising field
and has never campaigned in
the State.
Tradition to Face
Second, there is a long
standing tradition that the
Senate seat Senator Dirksen
now holds goes to a downstate
man while the other seat, now
held by Senator Douglas, a
Democrat, goes to Chicago.
A Percy candidacy would
flout that tradition, because his
home is in Kenilworth, a Chi
cago suburb.
Illinois Republicans specu-
lated today that Mr.. Percy may
be launching a trial balloon in
the Senate race only to put
himself in a position to make
a serious bid for the guberna-
torial nomination in 1864.
Others conjectured that he
might want to be ready to
move into the picture if
Senator Dirksen is unable to
seek a third term. The minority
leader, now IS, has appeared
tired and drawn at times this
year. but aides say a clinical
checkup gave him a good bill
of health.
Adding interest to reports OF
a possible Percy candidacy is
the fact that the industri-
alist is linked to Gov. Rock
efeller of New York, not only
by his liberal Republican views
but by his dictatorship in the
Chase Manhattan Bank, con-
trolled by the Rockefeller
family.
