That line of defense must be bolstered by young leaders. The Jaycee president alluded to the growing respect for the Jaycee movement and the growth in recognition for the organization.

A ,94 month Frank Bergh's APPLIANCES We Service' What We Sell Phone 3-8348 1200 South Stephens Dulles Lashes Back Ar Molotov Proposal (Continued from Page One) - Molotov is trying to replace the United Nations with a council of five which he said would take over responsibility for running tne world. , The Dulles argument hit hard at the five-power conference sugges tion which all three Western min isters have already rejected. But at the same time, the West ern delegations are extremely sen sitive to peace hopes, especially with respect to Indochina. They were clearly determined to explore all possibilities of a" settlement in case Molotov has anything serious in mind. Dulles, Foreign Secretary Eden and Foreign Minister Bidault lunched together at noon and ap parently decided on their tactics to take a tough line on the five- nnwpr rnnfprpnee. At least that was the line being taken by Dul les, who sought to move Molotov on to a discussion of the German question. Dulles told Molotov it was ob vious the proposed five-power con ference could not be a temporary one. He said it was "incredible" that the four here, plus Chou En Lai, would be able to solve polit ital, military and economic prob lems with which the United Na tions had grappled for nine years. The ta$k-s which Molotov out lined Wednesday for the five-power meeting ranging from atomic disarmament to Asian settlements would compol it to become per manent, Dulles said. Dulles then made his demand to move on in these words: "My feeling is that we have had an adequate first round exchange of views on this subject (the five power idea) and that without for getting what has been said we should now move on to an ex charge of views regarding the problems relating to Germany and Austria." Sen.x Bricker Continues To Push His Amendment (Continued from Page One) agreements other than treaties could become internal law only by act of Congress. This was offered as a substitute for bricker's proposal which in a clause opposed vigorously by President Eisenhower, says "a treaty shall become effective as internal law in the United States only through legislation which would be valid in the absence of treaty." Eisenhower contends this would give the states power to repudiate some treaties. Bricker says that is not true. George said his pro posal would eliminate the effect of the "which" clause. George, who will be 76 years old tomorrow and who has rounded out more than 30 years of Senate service, appeared to have come up with a suggestion that Eisen hower's Senate lieutenants might clutch as the basis for further ef forts to compromise a fight that has split Republicans. Senate debate on the Bricker proposal began Wednesday before a packed gallery. Sen Knowland of California, the GOP floor leader, hurried a draft of the Georgian's proposal to the White House, State and Justice Departments and was awaiting re plies. George himself said he had discussed it with Eisenhower but gave no indication of the Presi dent's reaction. A million dollars worth of gold at $35 an ounce weighs slightly less than a ton.
