Only three qualifications are necessary for anyone to be a recreation leader, miss maiiaiieu stated. These are, to like the activity vou are presenting, to like people and to be willing to work. Never, never embarrass anyone, Miss Mallalieu said. Flay eamea where everyone acts silly, but never point out any one per son in a situation in wnicn me groups laughs at him. Other pointers for successful game leadership are to know the game thoroughly, get the group Into position for the game before giving Instructions, give only a few rules at a time, demonstrate the game before starting to play. Avoid games which are competi tive individually, such as paper and pencil quiz games. Play games which Include the entire group. The best recreation Is for relaxation and fun and not for a prize.

(Continued from page One) Heath's recall; (2) Demonstrat ed "Its willingness to observe es tablished international standards of conduct" in the treatment of American diplomats. The note held that restrictions on the movements of U.S. offi cials in Sofia and "indignities" which they have suffered have made It "virtually Impossible for the legation to perform its nor mal diplomatic and consular functions." Has Become Useless This made it clear that one of the reasons behind the decision to break relations unless the Bul garians change their conduct is a feeling here that it has become useless to maintain American representatives in Sofia under' present conditions. Restrictions on American offi cials in Bulgaria are matched in some degree in other eastern European countries. The policy of breaking relations, therefore, could lead to a general withdraw-' al of American representatives from several ot those countries if conditions in them got very much worse. The United States already has officially notified Hungary that U.S. diplomats were not permit ted to carry out their duties fal lowing the arrest several weeks ago of Robert Vogeler, an as sistant vice president of the in ternational Telephone and Tele graph corporation.

Just when we'd think it was all over, It would start again with a brilliant flash. "How long did it last? Only about ten minutes, but it seemed hours."

Vishin sky said today U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson's charge that Russia is annexing four North China provinces is a "lying- and slanderous declaration." Vishinsky made his statement in an unusual press release to foreign correspondents, coinciding with the arrival in Moscow of Chou En-lai, foreign minister oi the Russian-recognized Chinest people's republic. Chou's arrival led to the belief that negotiations for a treaty of friendship between Russia and the new Chinese repuouc oi uom munist leader Mao Tze-tung were nearing an important climax. Mao has been in Moscow for a month. ' Vishinsky. commenting on statements by Acheson at the Na tional Press duo in wasnington Jan. 12 that Russia is taking over Manchuria, Inner and Outer Mongolia and Sinkiang, said they were intended "to put a good face on a bad game the failure of American policy in Asia." Vishinsky also accused Ache son of uncovering his own "an nexionist plans in relation to Ja nan and also the Philippines and Ryukyti (islands of the North Pa cific). Acheson. he said, declared "these non-American territories in the-defensive line of the Unit ed States which, as is well known, is In the line of aggres sion." "In this. Vishinsky declared, "Acheson said much of his wish to give help to itht peoples iot Asia, clearly ninting mat reaoH tlonary forces In these countries and also the colonial powers, not wishing to say goodbye to the ex ploitation of peoples in Asia, can count on all help from the side of Mr. Acheson." (The secretary of state said the United States has "and will con tinue to hold" a "defensive per imeter" running along the Aleu tians to Japan, to the Ryukyus and down to tne rnuippines.i -(The State department in Washineton would make no iii- mediate comment on the Vishin sky statement). Special Importance was seen in the statement since it was handed to foreign correspondents at the Kremlin, usually accuta Hons by foreign statesmen are answered publicly through the government news agency Tass or the newspapers Pravda and Iz vestia. "In all these declarations by Acheson there -is not one word of truth," Vishinsky said.

' The decision to recruit thou-' sands of aircraft observers for civil defense was announced yea-' terday following a two-day con ference of defense officials and state representatives called by Secretary of Defense Johnson. Th Defense department said the "aircraft observers corps" will be trained in 25 northwest-' era and Atlantic states by the Air Defense command of the Air Force, then placed on a standby basis. , : In case of war, the announce ment added, these air raid war dens will keep "a 24 hour per day watch from observation posts to. give warning of impend ing enemy attack by air and will supplement radar warning sys tems." To Affect Communities The Defense department said the program is being "channeled through the governments ot the States and through them to the local communities" because the whole Idea of civil defense is to place responsibility on local government. The conference also discussed setting up observation posts, fil ter centers and control centers. There is no federal law now to provide for a civil defense setup, althought the matter has been under study for more than two years. The recent announcement that Russia had set off an atomic ex plosion started new demands in Congress for action along those lines.
