A woman instructor for Navy

Rarest of all is the woman who
is both: Margaret Hillis, of the
Concert Choir.
She has another distinction: She
chooses evening dresses partly for
how they look in front, but even
more for how they look behind.

Dulles Says Communist
Actions at Geneva Gives
Lie To Talk of Peace
WASHINGTON, » — Secretary
of State Dulles said yesterday the
Communists were dragging their
feet on peace negotiations at Gen
eva while intensifying their war
effort in Indochina. He said this
gives the lie to their talk of
loving peace.
Dulles told a news conference
he thought developments in the
discussions at Geneva, on both
Korea and Indochina, might come
to' a head in the near future.
Dulles told reporters the ad
ministration has no present plans
for asking Congress for author
ity to intervene in southeast Asia.
He said the reaction to the Ei
senhower administration’s call
for a united front of allied na
tions has not reached the point of
general acceptance that would
make an appeal to Congress a
matter of practical politics.
The United States, he said em
phatically, has no intention of
dealing with this problem single
handedly — unless the Chinest
Communists launch a new mili
tary aggression.

SEATTLE, (51 — Northwest
Orient Airlines has announced it
will move its trans-Pacific refuel
ing station from Shemya Island,
at the western tip of the Aleutian
Islands, to Cold Bay, Alaska, by
July 1.
Northwest said the Air Force,

The new base for Northwest re
fueling is on the tip of the Alaska
Peninsula, some 950 miles east of
Shemya.
Northwest’s announcement by
Frank C. Judd, vice president for
operations, came as the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce continued
its fight in the nation’s capital for
a one million dollar appropriation
to keep Shemya in operation until
1955 when Northwest initiates
long - range Super - Constellation
flights on the North Pacific run.
There was no comment from the
Chamber or Northwest as to whe
ther the Chamber’s fight for
Shemya funds would be contin
ued.
