HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC-MAKERS—This is a full-length por
trait of IVinn High’s big band which, like other music-making or
ganizations, has been pressed hard by the holidays. Director Har
vey Bosell, at center, spent long hours rehearsing his musicians
in a complex Christmas concert recently given at the high school.
The band surprised parents with the zing of its presentations, of
fered a program that ranged from rousing tunes to the saered
Christmas hymns. The high school’s large stage and auditorium
make a fitting concert hall for band, which has steadily grown
under the hands of Conductor Bosell. (Daily Record Photo.)

Naughty Stage Play
LONDON (UP)—Princess Margaret showed up unex
pectedly Tuesday night at a play in which a nearly.nude
actress portrays Britannia.
Margaret stared unblushingly at
the beautiful showgirl posing 50
feet away from her in a scene in
the play “The Entertainer” which
stars Sir Laurence Olivier.
The princess went to the theater
on a snap decision. Her appear
ance surprised officials, but they
made no attempt to censor the
scene.
The play was written by John
Osborne, author of "Look Back in
Anger” which is now running in a

Court circles were surprised at
Margaret’s visit because Osborne
recently made a bitter attack on
royalty.
She Liked It
Friends said Margaret enjoyed
the play.

Talks Slated
With Russians
At Early Date
PARIS (UP)—The United
States and its NATO allies
agreed unanimusly today to
strengthen the Atlantic alli
ance’s defensive shield with
American missiles and nu
clear stockpiles in Europe.
At the same time, they
agieed unanimously today to
talks with' the Russians.
Full agreement on the entire
summit conference agenda was
hammered out by the foreign andi
defense ministers of the 15 NATO
countries at a meeting this morn
ing. It was then submitted for fin
al indorsement by the heads of
government at their third working
session, which began at 6:10 p. m.
U. S. delegation sources hasten
ed to stress that no "deal” was
involved. They said the United
States did not agree to new East
West talks merely to win the Eu
ropean members’ acceptance of
American missiles in the NA’l’O
defense shield.
Two-Way Plan
The agreement still has to be
spelled out in detail. But it con
stituted, in effect, a sweeping two
way plan for putting new vitality
into the alliance. It will bolster
the NATO group with every mod
ern weapon in the West's arsenals
while at the same time seeking
new talks with Russia to end the
nuclear arms race.
The agreement came as the
NATO conference, spured by the
United States' successful launch
ing of the Atlas missile, headed
into the home stretch.
America’s NATO allies accepted
in principle the U. S. offer of nu
clear stockpiles and missile bases
in Europe. Decisions on just where
these would be established were
left for further review. In any
case, the bases could not be ready
for use for at least another 12
to 18 months.
All 15 countries approved in
principle a British plan for a bal
anced NATO force to which each
nation would contribute those
arms it is best able to provide.
They agreed on further integra
tion of NATO armed forces, estab
lishment of an integrated NATO
air defense system in Europe, tigh-^
ter concentration of supply servic
es and closer Integration of nav
ies.

Dulles Warns
Against Any
Red Promises
WASHINGTON (IP)—Secre
tary of State John Foster
Dulles tossed a new warning
against Soviet promises to
day into the Allied debate in
Paris over the advisability of
East-West talks.
In an article in Life magazine
appearing on newsstands today,
Dulles said the Soviet Union is
seeking the break-up of Western
alliances and Western acceptance
of expanded Communist world in
fluence as the price of a cold war
armistice.
A 24-year record of broken Rus
sian promises shows that the free
world can rely on no agreement
with the Communists that it can
not enforce. Dulles wrote.
An unenforceable a r m i stice
agreement could imperial the anti
communist world, Dulles indicat
ed, if it lulled the West into let
ting down its guard.
Diplomats were surprised at the
timing of Dulles’ expression of
views on the dangers of trying to
do business with the Russians. The
article, released simultaneously by
the State Department and the
magazine, appeared just a week
after Soviet Premier Nikolai Bul
ganin called for new East - West
talks.
The State Department said the
article was written long before the
receipt of Bulganin’s messages to
Western leaders, although the cur
rent NATO “summit” meeting had
already been scheduled.
