Speech by Sec. Dulles Still Leaves Position of U.S.
Fate of Quemoy
Not Answered
Radio-Television News
By WAYNE OLIVER
NEW YORK WV In these days of
television, the actors and actresses
who for years held the airwaves
in radio’s top dramas are making
the switch to TV in droves.
But while television has Its ap-
peals for many, it can’t hold a
candle to the more frequent roles,
steady income and easier pace of
radio acting, says one veteran
radio actress.
“There are no ulcers in radio,”
says Elspeth Eric, who averages
eight shows a week on CBS radio,
including Ganjfbusters, 21st Pre-
cinct and Young Dr. Malone.
“On Young Dr. Malone I re-
placed a girl who quit the part
to go into television, and I think
she’s out of her mind.” says Miss
•Eric, who has been on Gangbus-
ters since 1938.
She reports her eight radio
shows a week are easier than one
a week on TV, and leave her
more time to herself. She speaks
from experience, having put in oc-
casional TV appearances on Studio
One, Danger and in soap operas.
Miss Eric thinks radio still has
it all over TV’s costuming, make-
up memorizing and long rehears-
als—and less frequent roles.
The recent upheaval in the So-
viet hierarchy gives added time-
liness to Television Playhouse’s
NBC telecast Sunday of "The As-
sassin,1’ based on the slaying of
Leon Trotsky in Mexico City in
1940.
Tuneful Rosemary Clooney, now
on CBS radio Thursday nights,
also will be heard Tuesday nights
starting Feb. 22.
Dancer Shirley MacLaine will
sub for the ailing Betty Grable in
tonight’s Shower of Stars on CBS
television , . . Johnny Desmond,
long time regular on Breakfast
Club on ABC radio and TV, starts
a new weekly radio program on
Mutual Saturday morning.

Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON I*-He didn’t say
yes and he didn't say no. That
sums up Secretary of State Dulles’
reply to the important question:
Will the Red Chinese be allowed
to have Quemoy and Matsu is-
lands?
For months the Eisenhower ad-
question has been vague. It was
ministration’s position on the
still vague after Dulles finished
talking about it in a New York
Island to
month.

Since he dic|n’t make it off the
cuff but had plenty of time to pre-
pare it. his vagueness can be con-
sidered deliberate. Why? Either
because the administration hasn’t
made up its mind, doesn't want to
tell the Reds or wants elbow roam
for horsetrading.
Dulles’ words can be interpreted
this way:
1. The United States may fight—
Dulles didn’t say it would to de-
fend tfyose islands if the Red Chi-
nese try to take them by force.
2. If the Reds play nice, stop
talking about invading Formosa
and agree to a cease-fire, they
may be allowed to have Quemoy
and Matsu.
Chiang Kai-shek, American ally,
has his main forces on Formosa
and the nearby Pescadores Is-
lands, 100 miles across water from
the Red Chinese mainland. He has
other forces scattered among is-
lands close to the mainland.
The United States is pledged to
defend Formosa and the Pesca-
dores under a Senate - approved
treaty with Chiang. As Dulles said
last night, this pledge does not
extend to any other Chiang-held
islands.
But Eisenhower could, if he
thought them necessary to the de-
fense of Formosa, defend the other
islands. This power was given him
in a special resolution approved
by Congress.
He decided the Tachen Islands,
200 miles northwest of Formosa,
were not necessary for the latter’s
defense. SO last week Chiang with-
drew his troops from the Tachens
and let the Reds have them.
But what of Quemoy and Matsu?
They’re close to the mainland and
on a direct line between big main-
land ports and Formosa. In the
hands of the Reds they could
serve as stepping stones for a For-
mosa invasion.
Dulles said:
“The United States has no com-
mitment and no purpose to defend
the coastal positions as such.”
Then, almost wistfully, he won-
dered whether the Reds "might
not renounce their efforts to realize
their goals by force.” And he add-
ed he hoped the Reds’ announced
decision to take Formosa was "not
j irrevocable.”
But he talked dimly of the idea
of letting the Reds have Quemoy
i and Matsu merely for the asking.
[ He said, "It is doubtful this would
serve either the cause of peace
or the - cause of freedom.” Noth-
| ing, in so many words, Was final
in what he said.

Do-it-your-self Craze Has Reached
A
Point of Making Your Own Antiques
NEW YORK W The do-it-your-
self craze has reached the point
where you can now be your own
Chippendale find create antique
furniture at home.
• The odds are that your home-
made antiques will lie as authentic
as those your neighbor “discov-
ered” in some antique store or
farmer’s bam and bought at a
fancy price. And they will cost
you a lot less.
"About 80 per cent of the antique
furniture in America is a fake—
at least so far as being old is
concerned,” said Gordon Obrig,
one of America’s pioneer home
furnishings and industrial design-
ers.
“Previous generations simply
didn’t leave behind them enough
period furniture to fill the present
demand for antiques.”
To satisfy this market there
arose the practice of what is
known in the trade as "distressing
a reproduction.” It consists of tak-
ing a fine new piece of furniture
designed on classic lines and de-
liberately beating it up to give it
an antique look.
This artificial aging was already
quite an art abroad, Obrig re-
called, when he was apprenticed
at the age of 13 .to a London dec-
orator.
“I used 1 to be one of the best
wormhole makers in all England,”
he said modestly.
Obrig abandoned wormhole mak-
ing long ago. Today in the work-
room of his 12-acre estate—he calls
it “Poison Ivy Acres, Mortgage
Lane, Deep-in-Debt, Conn." he de-
signs everything from eggbeaters
to Geiger counters. He also enjoys
giving tips to young couples on
how they can furnish their homes
at small expense.
•
”A housewife actually can do a
better job of distressing a repro-
duction than a professional furni-
ture workman,” he said, “she is
willing to put more time and hand

“First file off the edges to make
it look worn. Then take a ring
of heavy old keys and slam them
on the table top -to give it a
sctatched up look.
"To give the apron of the table
a worm-eaten appearance you burn
it with hot copper wires. You can
also put a few worm holes in the
legs, but be careful not to overdo
it. If you put in too mdny worm
holes, your new antique may col-
lapse while you're still making it.
"If the table is of oak, you can
give it a worn, ridged look by
washing it with potash and lye.
That’ll eat out the soft grain of
the fiber.
“Next, sandpaper the spots
where normal usage over a long
period of time would wear the
table smooth.
“If you want a walnut finish, you
can make a good antique walnut
stain by soaking some old walnut
shells in alcohol.
“Then put on three coats of shel-
lac, and finish jt off with a coat
of melted white beeswax mixed
with gum turpentine. This gives
the depth of finish you’d expect in
a fine old table.”
The wife can now call in her
friends and brag about the "won-

if she’s done her work well, they’ll
never know whose hands made it

Committee to Act
On Ike'* Request
To Delay Tax Cut
WASHINGTON LB — Chairman
Cooper (D-Tennl said today the
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee will act next week on Presi-
dent Eisenhower’s request to post-
pone about three billion dollars in
scheduled tax ruts.
The committee is expected to
approve by a big margin, possibly
on Monday or Wednesday, Eisen-
hower’s recommendation for a one-
year postponement of these tax
cuts now set automatically for
April 1:
(1) From 52 to 47 per cent in
the corporation income tax rate,
amounting to about two billion
dollars annually; and (2) about
one billion dollars in excise tax
rates on automobiles, cigarettes,
liquor, gasoline, beer and wine.
Little opposition to the extension
of present rates has been voiced
either in the House or Senate.
Meanwhile, it was reliably re-
ported, key Democrats planned a
strategy huddle Saturday to con-
sider two questions likely to be
much more explosive:
1. A proposal by some Ways and
Means members for a drive now
to cut individual income taxes for
everybody.
2. A move by others to seek re-
peal of a controversial tax cut on
income .from dividends, included
last yettr’s Republican-sponsored
general tax revision bill.
Some committee members have
suggested one or both of these
proposals might be tacked onto the
tax extensions requested by Eisen-
hower. Either would be certain to
provoke a hot fight with the ad-
ministration.
However, several members said
odds are that these two moves,
if they develop at all this year,
will come later and will not be
tied to the tax extensions.

Shivers’ Itest statement on his
1956 attitude came at a press con-
ference several months ago. He
said then he hoped the narty would
come up with a nominee and plat-
form he could support.
Morrow is recognized a3 nat-

servative Shivers organization, but
national committee officials do not

Texas committee, but operates

MeKelvey said he planned to

MeKelvey said he told Butler
that Texans “just can’t go along

leaders might as well accept that
as a fact.
He also said that one of the first
things that might be done in a
peafce move would he for “both
factions to refrain from making

MeKelvey is not identified with

he thought the Electra man had
