DIAL 2-6743 AND COLD CONTRACTS y postponed until Mon-| - By JOHN M, HIGHTOWER “WASHINGTON «® — President Eisenhower probably will urge British Prime Minister Churchill to cooperate in setting up an in- ternational conference on anti- Communist defenses in Southeast Asia against communism when the two meet here next weekend. Churchill and Foreign Secretary Eden are due in Friday. Their talks with Eisenhower and Secre- tary of State Dulles will be in- formal and, aides indicate, as secret as possible. The Indochina crisis is the No. 1 topic. Others include the organiza- tion of a European Defense Com- munity and atomic energy prob- lems. U. S. officials said that the American government is still ur- gently interested getting a united front of Allied European and Asian nations set up to halt Com- munist expansion in the Indochina area. They~ think a conference would be useful to that end. Until about two days ago author- ities figured Britain would most likely go along on some move to- ward creation of a Southeast Asian alliance. That estimate was based on the official belief that Britain But on Friday and Saturday, France organized a new govern- ment which staked its existence on getting an Indochina peace in 30 days. Then the Reds at Geneva offered new concessions to keep the talks going and agreed to mil- itary discussions on ending the war in Laos and Cambodia as well as in Viet Nam. The Geneva developments re- Portedly brought new hopes for peace to British leaders although Americans remained skeptical.

Smith is due to participate. in intensive consultations here. Quite apart from the Southeast Asian problem, the formation of the Mendes-France government provided no encouragement at all here to bolster waning American hopes for French approval of EDC. A year or so ago Churchill was quite interested in the possibility of taking West Germany directly into the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization as a possible alternative to EDC. At Bermuda last Decem- ber he. dropped his advocacy of that in favor of pressing hard for EDC, which Eisenhower was then insisting upon. Margaret Truman Is Hailed As “Darling Marge” MOUNTAINHOME, Pa #® — Margaret Truman was hailed as the “darling Marge of the summer theater circuit” following her dra» matic debut in the Pocono Play- house last night. Miss Truman appeared in the role of Katie Grey, a young Amer- ican schoolteacher who finds love briefly and unhappily on a Euro- pean vacation, in the play “Autumn Crocus” by Dodie Smith. Her performance drew such au- dience comment as “smoothly done” and “very professional.” She was greeted off-stage by cameramen and newsreel crews: A critic for Variety magazine said, “Her character portrayal and acting was gracious and honest. She made the character she por- trayed truly shy and drab as it should have been.” The critic, who declined to be identified, predicted Miss Truman would become the. “darling Marge of the summer theater circuit.” The daughter of the former President remained in hourly tele- phone contact with her father, re- covering from an operation in a Kansas City hospital. She had decided to go on with her scheduled performance after check with her mother Sunday. She plans a full nine weeks of similar stock appearances, wind- ing up at Philadelphia Playhouse in the Park late in August.

So can see summer started off down- right cool yesterday, especially in comparison with places like Phoe- nix, Ariz., where it was 111. Pre- sidio often is the hottest place in the country, “Why, I’ve been to Dallas wh it was only 99,” Harper said, prematurely white head. “I tell you, that damp heat hurt me worse than 119, does here.” This is an adobe town of about 1,200 persons nudgie Rio Grande in i west Texas. They grow cantaloupes in the dusty fields nearby and lead an easy-going life in the town no- body has ever bothered’ to incor- porate. At the Starr Hotel, the manager, Mrs. Mae Starr, a middle-aged lady with graying black hair and brown eyes, laughed at questions about the heat. “We're standing i fine,” stie said. “Oh, of course the lobby is full of young men who came in here to spend the afternoon.” Heat drove them in for a siesta, eh? “Certainly not,” shesaid. “They —why, they just wanted to get out of the dust. I tell you, it’s not ho.” : but YOU have Truman Isn’t Out Of Danger, Doctor Reports KANSAS CITY, w —Harry $.
