ed to teli' the Senate Civil Service Committee about “se
curity risks” he ousted as State Department security offi
cer.
Committe Chairman Frank Carlson R-Kans said the
committee is finished with its study of the Eisenhower ad
ministration’s “employe security program. “At least, as
far as I’m concerned we should be through,” Carlson said.
WASHINGTON (IP) Congressional Republicans to
day defended Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey
against a demand by Rep. Herman P. Eberharter D-Pa
that he tell Congress how much he stands to “personally
benefit” from a proposal’ to cut taxes on stock dividends.
Reps. John W. Byrnes R-Wis accused Eberharter of using
“not just a smoke screen” but “poison gas” against Presi
dent Eisenhower’s tax program.
TOKYO (IP) Angry fishing organizations demanded
today “the most rigid protest” be lodged with Washing
ton against alleged failure of the U. S. government to

Carolina builder, will go on trial here March 23 on charges
of conspiracy to defraud the U. S. government by build

LONDON (IP) A plan to open Buckingham Palace to
sightseers is being prepared for the Queen’s consideration,

ace in the Center of London instead of being stopped out
side the iron-grilled fence, paced rigidly by its high-hatted
guards.
WASHINGTON (IP) Adm. Arthur W. Radford de
clared today there is nothing in the administration’s hew
military strategy that says the United States must launch
an all-out atomic war in ejwe of new aggression. “It is not
correct to say we are relying exclusively on one weapon,
on one service or that we arc Anticipating one kind of
war,” he said. “I believe that this nation could be a pris
oner of its own military posture if it had no capability
ether than one to deliver a massive atomic attack.”
SEOUL, Korea (IP) Eighth Army today confirmed a

lage bad been shot and killed by a Korean. The Army am-,

highway and school improvements.
He outlined the legislation passed
by the last General Assembly in
support of highway Safety and
called On all citizens to support the
motor vehicles department and the
patrol in the enforcement of high

The legislation expressed the
opinion that the laW requiring

to take irresponsible drivers off
the roads. "But we still have
fatalities," he said “and those
speeders should be reported!” When
a private citizen reports a motor
vehicle law violation, no names
are revealed Gregory said.
The speaker also called attention

THE STORY OF THE PLAY
Three youhg men and three

folk and they have been driven to
this community scheme by the lack
of economic security. It is a whacky
plan they have in mind, for the
apartment they rent is immediately
above that of a Broadway producer
who has quite a hit running and
is about to cast a road company.
They rehearse the play which he is
currently producing, but the prob
lem is how to get him upstair.'
to see it? The pTans are further
complicated by the fact that a
snippy young friend of one of the
girls enters the picture and threat
ens to tell the girl’s father that
she Is living in what could moat
politely be called an unusual man
ner. Now, it so happofis that the
producer is an amateur chef of
some considerable ability, and right
in the middle of a cultaery con
coction he runs out of flour. He
comes upstairs to borrow a cup.
At last! The kids have him to ttjc
house, and they aren’t going to
let him out until he sees some evi
dence of their ability. Bo to im
press him they stage a murde
scene. It is so realistic that police
swarm into the scene and the mis
understanding becomes hilarious
when it is discovered the girl who
is playing the corpse has been serv

of everythin?, what seems to be a
profitable friendship springs up, ana
Equity dues get paid and the land
lady gets the back rent, and it looks
as if the future might hold some
promise for the youngsters. Highly
recommended.
