Italy’s agreement to station

tory Is expected to heighten the
Importance of the Atlantic Pact

here Thursday.
As foreign ministers of the IS
member nations gathered In

Washington for preliminary
talks, diplomatic officials last
night reported that Italy, after
a year of negotiations, had ap
proved the placing of interme
diate range missile bases In
Northern Italy.
Prom these bases, a Jupiter
could reach Southern Russia.
The agreement, confirmed
here by the Italian Embassy
and expected to be formally
announced in a few days, means
that part of the program set
up at the last North Atlantic
Treaty Organization meeting
had been achieved. In Decem
ber, 1057, the foreign ministers
agreed to build IRBM bases in
the North Atlantic area.
(The move is expected to
strengthen the hand of Ital
ian Foreign Minister Giu

This year’s conference, which
marks the 10th anniversary
of NATO, will be preceded by
vital talks among foreign min

Rain Ends Egg Rolling
On White House Lawn
Cancellation Comes When Eisenhowers
Feel Alarm Over Children's Colds
After only a few intrepid youngsters showed up, the
White House called off its annual Easter egg roll today when
President and Mrs. Eisenhower expreugjj alarm, that toe
rain might cause colds.
The Weather Bureau forecast frequent rain and tempera- i
tures no higher than 47—a dismal follow-up to an Easter <
Sunday with skies that smiled
on thousands of worshipers
and promenaders.
The White House force was
ready to do what it could for

Not least grateful were the
' guards and groundskeepers who
had anticipated a day of 12.000
|or so children and parents
trudging over the south lawn
with the usual messy results.
“Daredevils” Turn Up
Three wet but happy young
sters appeared at the southeast
gate ready to carry on despite
the weather. They were Mar
sha, Thomas and James Hud
speth, accompanied by their
mother, Mrs. Mary Hudspeth,
of 1760 Euclid street N.W.
“We’re the three daredevils.'
said Marsha, 12. “We climb
cliffs, walk railroad tracks,
climb trees and everything.
We’ve been counting on com
ing to the White House since
last year.”
“I thought we came for an
Easter egg fight.” said the
youngest daredevil, James, 8,
who carried a basketful of po
tential ammunition.
Eggs Dumped Quickly
Mrs. Fred W. Johansen of
2916 Briggs-Cheney road. Sil
ver Spring, arrived with her
four children and a cousin
dressed as rabbits—costumes
tailored by Mrs. Johansen.
Robert and Elizabeth Nau
mann of 3505 Russell road,
Alexandria, dumped their load
of eggs quickly under the criti
cal eye of their father, Melvin
Naumann.
‘We stayed long enough to
break our eggs, anyway,” said
Elizabeth as they moved off to
a dry movie.
Some other outdoor activities
gave in to the dripping skies
and postponed proceedings.
One of these was the egg hunt
in Magruder Park, Hyattsville,

Atom Experts Identify
Odd-Ball From Space
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Msr. 30 I
(AP).—Evidence of odd-balls 1
among the meteorites from (
outer space—fancy enough to ,
be mistaken for machined iron
—was reported today by two ]
! atomic scientists.
Identification of one such
strange object—differing some
what from all other known me
teorites—was reported to a
meeting of the American Phy
sical Society, convened at
Massachusetts Institute of
I Technology.
, The report cleared up one
puzzle that has plagued sci
entists for 40 years. However,
it left unanswered how this ob
ject, and possibly others like
it still undiscovered, took on
features differing from those
of run-of-the-mill meteorites
that sometimes reach the earth.
1 Physicists David Fisher and
and Olivir A. Schaeffer said the
object they studied was a
i chunk of iron found imbedded
> in the soil of Washington
County, Colo., away back in
! 1916.
Ever since its discovery, they
I said, there has bee a-uncertainty
i as to whether it was an iron
meteorite—or just a chunk of

reported his stock holdings to

valued on the current market
at about $270,000.
Senator Young said he took
: this rare step so “anyone inter
ested may judge in the future
! whether there is any conflict
|in Interest influencing my ac-j
: tion and votes as United States
Senator.”
In a report to Felton M.

nounced he will sell stock he
holds in two sugar concerns.
He is doing this, he said, be
cause the Senate Agriculture
Committee, of which he is a
i member, will be considering
legislation concerning sugar
imports.
Aside from the stocks, Sen
ator Young said he owns prop
erty in Cuyahoga County
(Cleveland), California and
Mississippi, “on which there is
an oil lease.”
He listed no dollars and
cents figures. The stocks valu
ation is an estimate from
current prices.
Saying that a list of stocks
may embarrass “my family and
me,” he added: “You may de

forging discarded by some
craftsman of the past.
In fact, much of the past
evidence favored earthly, rather
than out-of-this-world, origin.
For one thing, the object’s
overall appearance suggested it
“might have been machined.”
And, if you polished a piece of
it, it showed a type of surface
"different from any other me
teorite.” For example, there
was some evidence of some por
ousness throughout the mass.
The researchers—both of the
Atomic Energy Commission’s
Brookhaven National Labora
tory at Upton, N. Y.—said they
recently solved the riddle by
applying a finding made several
years ago by scientists in sev
eral countries.
This was the discovery that
all meteorites, as they hurtle
through space, acquire quanti
ties of gaseous helium the
latter being produced by the
action of cosmic rays on the
material of the meteorite.
While the researchers voiced
certainty that the Colorado
specimen is meteoric, they of
fered no immediate explanation
for its variance in structure
from all other iron meteorites
that occasionally reach the
earth from outer space.

Nehru Rebuffs
Reds on Their
Tibet Protest
Won't Bar Debate, «
But Shuns Firm
Stand on Revolt . <
NEW DELHI, Mar. 30 (AP). ,
—Prime Minister Nehru today j
rejected Communist China’s at- |
tempt to cut oil discussion of ]
the Tibetan revolt in the Indian |
Parliament but still took no ,
firm stand toward the Red mili
tary campaign to suppress the ,
revolt. ,
Criticism mounted in Indian (
newspapers of Mr. Nehru’s fail- ,
ure to back the Tibetan rebels’ .
attempt to free the Himalayan
country of Communist control, j
"Let us hold our heads low
today.” said the Hindustan ,
Times, considered closest to Mr. j
Nehru’s Congres Party. It ,
called for a “realistic reassess
ment of the basis of our foreign
policy.”
Mr. Nehru told Parliament '
that lie would make firm state
ments on Tibet when he was in
a position to make them. He
said that within the limits of
propriety he would give Parlia- j t
ment all information he had on 1
the events in Tibet. j
Voices No Condemnation t
Mr. Nehru said India’s sym- 1
pathies “go out to the Tibet
ans.” a comment which brought '
a thunderous “Hearl Hear!”:'
from Parliament.
But he voiced no condemna
tion of the Chinese. He de- "
dined to comment on Peiping’s
announcement that the Dalai
Lama had been ousted as head
of the local Tibetan govern
ment and told a questioner his
government had made no ln
quiry to Red China on the
ouster.
Mr. Nehru also denied Red
Chinese charges that the “com
manding center of the rebel
lion” was in Kalimpong, the J
Indian town near the north-
east border where many Tl- |
betans have taken refuge.
Russia’s Communist Party (
organ Pravda echoed the Pei
ping charge that Kalimpong .
was the seat of rebellion and !
I also claimed that Nationalist |
Chinese planes were flying I
| arms to the rebels. Western
observers in Hong Kong dis-,
counted the latter charge be
caupe of the considerable dis- I
tance between Formosa and
Tibet. , j
Widespread Resistance
Communist China, mean- .
while, was expected to launch ,
an all-out drive to Communize;
Tibet following its replacement ! (
jof the fugitive Dalai Lama's re- ,
I bellious government by a pup-1,
1 pet regime headed by the coun- ,
i try’s other spiritual leader, the ;
! rival Panchen Lama.
Despite Red China’s claim
that the rebellion was quelled
March 21, two days after it: 1
erupted in Lhasa, widespread
'resistance was reported contin-!
uing in various sectors outside
the capital.
Border reports said Chinese
rule extended only 20 or 30
miles south of Lhasa. A rebel
“national defense army” was
said to be collecting taxes in
the south. A rebel radio was
reported operating there.
Even Pravda said rebel rem
nants were still holding out in
remote sectors of Tibet, but it
claimed “the armed adventure
of a baud of traitors has suf
fered complete defeat.”
The whereabouts of the Dalai
Lama remained a mystery.
Some Indian press reports said
the 23-year-old god-king was
fleeing south toward the Indian
border. Other reports said he
had swung eastward after find
ing the southern roads blocked
by the Chinese Communists.

KEY TO THE KREMLIN
Khrushchev Called
'Brilliant Bonehead'
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
Auoelated Brew Foreign Neva Anoint
Long before anyone dreamed
of Nikita Khrushchev as a
future czar, a Western dip
lomat sized him up shrewdly
as “that brilliant bonehead.”
The man can bluster and
guffaw his way with a terrify
ing air of carelessness toward
the edge of global disaster. But
he is no genius. His career has
been dotted with bonehead
plays.
In a meeting at the summit,
nonetheless, Western statesmen
would face a formidable an
tagonist, a dynamic bundle of
reckless energy and dazzling
paradoxes, far less predictable,
potentially far more dangerous
than the mighty Btalin.
One of his success secrets
seems to be an astonishing
knack for blaming his own
mistakes on others—and get
ting away with it. Another has
been an Olympian scorn of
weakness and what he would
regard as bourgeois morality. -
True Lenin Disciple
Premier Khrushchev knows 1
only one truth. In a sense he is
a missionary. He has referred
piously to his “Communist
faith.” In propagating this
faith, he has shown himself a
true disciple of Lenin.
World communism as devel
oped under Soviet control has
one basic aim: To impose its
! political philosophy on the
whole world. To accomplish :

Tass said “according to in
formation received,” the Soviet
government agreed to attend

tion.”
Tass said Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko re

i handed them the Soviet notes
in reply to the three Western
notes of March 26.
Summit Talks in Prospect
The notes had differences In
emphasis, but all looked be

The Soviet government ex
pressed regret in its notes “that
l complete mutual understanding
j has not yet been reached on the
; question of the participation of
1 Poland and Czechoslovakia In
the conference of foreign min

The allies have suggested the

Moscow said it “considers it
possible that the question of the

during the conference.” It
