Delegates From Indochina Hold Private Talks By MAX HARRELSON GENEVA ® — Indochina con- ference delegates worked in pri- vate meetings today to arrange military negotiations for a cease- fire in Laos and Cambodia. The | formal nine-power sessions were recessed until tomorrow. Red, China’s Premier-Foreign Minister Chou En-lai was the only top conference figure still in Gene- va. U.S. Under Secretary of State Walter Bedell Smith, British For- eign Secretary Anthony Eden and “Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov all flew home over the weekend. Chou was reported ready to fol- low their. example later this week. French Premier-Foreign Minis- ter Pierre Mendes-France delayed his arrival at the conference to ac- tively push his campaign for peace in Indochina. He promised the French National Assembly he would resign unless he got an armistice by July 20. French delegation sources ex- expected him here sometime later this week. Before their departure, Eden, Molotov and Smith agreed with the other conference delegates that separate, direct military negotia- tions would be held on Laos and Cambodia. They already are under way for Viet Nam. Cambodian Foreign Minister Tep Phann opened discussions with Chou yesterday but there was no immediate contact between the tepresentatives of Laos and Cam- bodia and those of the Communist- led Vietminh. A main question to be decided was who would take part in the direct talks and whether they) would be held in Geneva or in Indochina.

Steel mills this week are operat- ing at the highest rate in more than three months. .- The Federal Reserve Board’s in- dex of industrial production has turned up on a seasonally adjusted basis—only slightly, to be sure, but it’s the first upturn after almost a year of declines. Auto men are cheered by the report that for the first time in months the stocks of unsold new ears are declining. < Unemployment among workers covered by state jobless pay bene- fits has slipped below the two mil- lion mark for the first time since the start of the year. And the filing of new claims for jobless benefits has dropped to the lowest level since last October. A new record is in sight this year for construction spending. The U.S. Labor and Commerce departments now estimate spending will hit a new high peak of 36 billion’ dollars in 1954. This would top last year’s spending by 2 per cent. It is also two billion dollars above the esti- mate the two departments made last November, indicating that the public’s confidence in the future is surpassing the early hopes of the Washington experts. Most of the construction gains reflect a higher rate of home build- ing than the departments had ex- pected last fall.

The famous aciress has fought her way up to the top of the cine- ma world from the huntble begin- ning of an immigrant girl who ar- rived in the United States with on- ly $30.00 and a hatred for the Nazi hordes which had over-run her na- tive country of Czechoslovakia. Although she lacked actual cash, Vera had boundless assets in beau- ty, charm and talent. As a result, she has overcome the hurdles tra- ditionally in the path of the new arriveal to this country and has risen steadily and rapidly to the heights in her chosen medium. ’s picture career has gone | through several phases from skat- ing to outdoor action pictures with such screen stalwarts as John Wayne, opposite whom she played in “Dakota” and “The Fighting | Kentuckian,” Included among her hits are “The Flame,” “I, Jane Doe,” Mad Squirrel Subdued INDIANAPOLIS — It took two policemen flailing heartily with night sticks to dispatch a belliger- ent squirrel here yesterday. The squirrel had attacked Mrs. Bessie Wilson: of Indianapolis in her yard, biting her on the leg. Then it routed a dog that walked by. Knowland Is : Optimistic On Tax Revision By EDWIN B.

Sen. Gore (D-Tenn) and a band of 22 Democrats and Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) planned to offer as a substitute a three-year extension, with added tariff-cutting authority, which Eisenhower originally asked. The President later an- nounced willingness to settle for a change. The House has approved such an extension. Knowland said the one-year ex- tension is all the Congress can be expected to act upon this session if it holds to the adjournment deadline. He predicted the trade act will take two or three days. Then he hopes to call up the 875-page, House-passed tax revi- sion bill, which emerged from the Finance Committee in about the form sought by the Eisenhower administration. It calls for $2,477,000,000°in tax reductions in its first year of oper- ation, with a variety of benefits to corporations, stockholders and individuals. No major tax rates would be changed. Democrats plan an effort on the Senate floor to boost. individual income tax exemptions from the present $600 to $700. If that fails they will try to get every income taxpayer a flat $20 credit on his tax bill. NAVARRO, Inc. VACATION SPECIALS For Tuesday Only 8 AM. till 9:30 P.M.
