Geneva PorIey Called
Smoothest in Years

GENEVA, Mar. 81 (AP).-
Diplomatic sources said today
the 17-nation disarmament
conference has gotten off to
the fastest start of any inter-
national negotiation of this
type since World War II.
Language used by the dele
gates has been proper-even
courtly. During the first three
weeks Of the talks the delegates
have expressed differing views,
but for the most part have
avoided bitter arguments of the
cold war.
Yet many Westerners expect
the storm will break soon. The
basic procedural problems re-
main to be worked out. Beyond
these lie the peaks of the real
issues.
Deadlock Over Inspection
Preliminary skirmishing on
procedure has revealed outlines
Of the old United States-Soviet
disagreement on the key prob
lem of international inspection
and verification.
The Western powers suspect
that the sweeping Soviet pro-
posal for complete disarmament
in four years cloaks stubborn
Kremlin resistance to any in
ternational policing arrange
ments to guarantee that a
treaty is enforced.
In the related field Of Sus-
pension of nuclear weapons
tests. this same Soviet attitude
on controls has blocked the
conclusion of a treaty despite
negotiations extending back 31a
years.
Western diplomats said they
found it particularly discourage
ing that the disarmament con-
ference has made no dent yet
on the nuclear test ban prob
lem.
Tsarapkin Stubborn
The United States British
Soviet subcommittee discussing
this issue remains deadlocked
over Soviet lrsistence that a
test ban treaty must be super
vised only by existing national
means of identifying suspicious
disturbances. In other words,
the United States would use
its own instruments to detect
Russian blasts and vice versa.
Soviet Ambassador Semyon
K. Tsarapkin is unwilling to
accept the American-British
demand for international con-
trolls.
Time is a pressing factor on
this issue. President Kennedy
insists that Western security
requires the United States to
get off a series of atmospheric
tests in late April unless the
Russians have agreed to an

Ava Complained
And That's All

MADRID (NANA). - Ava
Gardner, who can be tempera-
mental sometimes, came early
and stayed late at the press
conference before starting "55
Days at Peking," her picture
for Producer Sam BronstOn.
And she was charming to ev-
eryone.
So, everyone was surprised
when a Madrid newspaper
printed a quite erroneous story
about Ava that made her see
as red as a bullfighter's cape.
Ava, like most stars, has ap-
prevail of all photographs taken
in connection with her pictures.
She does not like strange pho
tographers on the set, and, aft
er seeing what some of these
cameramen do to her and 9TH
ers they snap photos of in Eu-
rope, I don't blame her.
So, one morning, after a fair
ly late night. Miss Gardner
spotted a stranger swapping
away at her as though the last
call had come for him. She
complained to Director Nick
Ray, who asked the lensman,
politely, for his roll of film.
This incident was blown up in
the mans newspaper to the
point where Ava is supposed to
have leaped on the photogra-
pher, screamed, grabbed his
camera, and had him thrown

Mr.. Sam Loved
Fare at Pierre's
By JOHN M. R0SSoN

a bout 1882 - it was called
RauScher'S. Then it was pur-
chased by Mrs. John r. Will
liams and named the Restau-
rant Pierre. Mr.. Sam first pa
tronized it when it was Rau-
scher's. He never stopped. We
took him at least one meal a
day almost every day of the
year. Most often it was his
breakfast.
He used to like to come over
to the dining room, especially
for dinner" Georges contin-
ed. but people stared and he
felt uncomfortable. After a
while he began ordering his
dinner sent over to his apart
ment, too"
Georges is still at the Pierre,
and so is another maitre de
known to Pierre regulars for
years. His name is Ferdinand,
an employe since the early
1930S. Both are Connecticut
avenue fixtures, as admired for
their excellence in dining-out
circles here as any maitres des
in the area.
No wonder Mr.. Sam liked
Pierre's. This is excellent
French cuisine served in a din
ing room which takes you back
to Paris.
The decor is not plush. Quite
the contrary. But it is chic.

DINING OUT
Mr.. Sam loved Pierre's.


The late great Speaker of
the House lived across the
street from the Restaurant
Pierre at Connecticut avenue
and @ streets NV. for some
thing like SO years. Hardly a
day went by in all that time
that Mr.. Sam did not have at
least one meal from Pierre's.
Because he was easily recog-
nized-and thus was frequent
ly stared at when he chose to
dine out-Mr. Sam often ate
his meals in his spacious
apartment at the Anchorage,
across @ from the restaurant.
Beginning about 1927, when
the restaurant first opened,
those meals were provided by
Pierre's. Mr.. Sam had them
sent over. For years on end
and even as late as a few weeks
before he returned to Texas
for the last time-you could
see the Pierre waiter crossing
the street with Mr.. Sans tray
held high, the food carefully
covered with a sparkling white
napkin.
A delightful little French
man named Georges, one OF
the Pierre's maitreS des, will
always remember the Texan.
Il came to the restaurant
when it opened" Georges says

For a change Of pace, they in

have something called the
'Mambo Twist" That Max is
a pretty enthusiastic twister,
too.
The mood the Junkanoo Trio
achieves with its music is en-
HANGED by the setting, a cool
retreat on an island in the sun

whole decor is aimed at Great

cocoanut mating on the CELL
ing, native art on the walls,
matched roofs over bar and

resemble native carvings of is

The service is the kind that
soothes and the menu is about
as exotic as they get, even if
some items were born in Gusti's
head and not on some Carib-
bean isle. Yoc can stick with
the prosaic potions you always
order IA martini is rs cents,
Scotches IS cents to SIPS,
bourbons 95 cents and 81, etc.
or you can let yourself go and
experiment.
There's a considerable list of
special drinks native to the
two JunkanooS, some Of which
stagger the imagination, which
probably isn't all they stagger
You can try a Brown Betty
CBetty'S favoriteO at $1.65, a
Bahama Passage Vodka and
brandy for SIPS, a Barracuda s
Bite rum and vodka for $I.45,
or a Junkanoo Pineapple (rums,
vodka, cointreau and fresh fruit

apple) for $1.85.

You can try these, that is,
but this is not to be construed
as a recommendation. You're
on your own. There are 80 of
these specialties available and
the only recommendation is
that you don't try them all in
one night. Or any stable num-
Der Of them.
The dinner menu is equally
exotic and there aren't many
other places, if any where you
can get such appetizers as

NEW YORK. = The u. S. Court
Of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
is scheduled to hear June 20 an
NAACP Legal Defense Fund ap-
peal which asks for faster integra-
ton in the bitterly contested New
Orleans, La school case.
A Fund motion to advance the
case on the docket and dispense
with printed briefs was granted by
the Appeals Court today.
An order to desegregate the first
six grades of New Orleans public
schools by September, 1862 was
made by former District Judge
Skelly Wright on April 9, 1862.
Judge Wright's order was modified
by his successor, Judge Frank B.
Ellis, on May %, when he ruled
that the School Board need deseg.
regate only the first grade by Sep
tember, and one grade each sue
ceeding year. Judge Wright re-
signed on April 16 to become
member of the Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia.
The Funds motion to the Court
of Appeals asked that the School
Board be required to take all nee
essary steps to comply with the
April 9th order.
The motion also asked that the
Appeals Court issue an injunction
which will keep the II Negro chill
dren now in integrated first anc
second grades in desegregatec
schools when they advance to The
second and third grades in Sep
tember.
In his decision of April 9th, Judge
Wright observed that Negroes are
required to take special tests ic
qualify for transfers, racially de-
signated school zones are still be-
ing used in New Orleans, and thai
only IL Negro children of $4,000
have been desegregated under HI:
1860 order. He also noted that S,
$40 Negro school children, but nj
white children, are on platoon
double session., and among othel
inequities, Negro classes are
conducted in classrooms convert
ed from stages, custodianS quart
ers, libraries and teachers lounge
rooms, while similar classroom
conditions do not exist in white
schools.
Judge Wright also invalidated OF
April 9 the Louisiana Pupil Place

zones.
