I Smiles of satisfaction spread throughout the committee, but An drei Y. Vishinsky. Soviet delegate sat silently. He said after the meeting he will speak Wednesday. He may reveal the result of his attempts to amend a seven-power resolution put up by the; United States. Britain. France, Canada, Belgium, Australia and South Af rica. .. The Russians were reported to - have attempted to amend the res olution to provide that an agency for atomic energy now being ' forced by those seven powers should be responsible to the Secur ity Council and the General As sembly. , ... Iff Informed quarters said the sev en powers have Rejected that idea and are standing firm on their original proposal that the interna tional agency be tied to the U. N. as a specialized agency. This would prevent any veto in the operations of the agency. ' Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief American delegate, talked with Vishinsky Monday night at the Soviet delegation headouarterf and informed him of the reaction of the seven delegates to the Soviet amendments.

ICC Asked to Prohibit Rail egation WASHINGTON (A Examiner Howard Hosmer recommended to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion Tuesday that it issue an or der "prohibiting the continuance" of racial segregation on interstate passenger trains. H . Hosmer said such practices, on soma railroads, violate the Inter state Commerce Act which pro Tides that there shall be; no "un doa or aareasonable prejudice or disadvantage" among passengers. ' la finding there is a law viola tion, Hosmer differed from an other ICC examiner. ! Isadore Freidson On . Sept. 30 Freidson held there was no constitutional provision or federal law which pro hibits "reasonable segregation" of white and Negro passengers trav eling la interstate commerce. Freidsoo's ruling stirred Negro groups to action. They were joined Oct 19 by Atty. Gen. BrowneQ who filed a brief in the east with the ICC. saying: - f r "The time has coma !

It was followed by colored slides on Which Dr. Gerber pointed out impressions on the blood stains of the pillow. The imprints somewhat resembled the claws .of a lobster, The slides were made the day after Marilyn's i murder in sub urban Bay Village, 12 miles west u line As viewed in court, the impres sions to which ! Gerber referred were like darker stains making two arcs within the blobs of dried blood on the pillow. In one sense. they looked like stains on top of stains, or like the shaded areas used to indicate mountains on map. ! As the slides i were shown, the defense objected at almost every xinrf ta riinr with Cxm. mon Pleas judge Edward Blythin that the state was seeking to draw a conclusion in the jury's mind. There were pleas for a mistrial, a demand for immediate cross ex amination and a long string of ob jections, all of which Blythin over ruled. , The judge said Gerber wast of fering "expert testimony;' he also disagreed with the defense s arjra ment that the slides were taken 24 hours after the murder and the pillow was not necessarily in the same condition it bad been the Censure Vote Duq Friday Or Saturday South Viet Nam Trouble Said Evident - SAIGON, Viet Nam The influence of I the United States on events in troubled South Viet Nam is evident less than 10 days after the arrival here of Gen.

Hennings declared Knowland was violating an agree ment which forbids bringing up "matters extraneous to the cur rent debate. r ' ' i Knowland bridled when Hen nings said ; the foreign policy speech came at a time when the Democrats were looking to the GOP leader for "a stirring speech" defending the Watkins Committee against "abuse" heaped on it by McCarthy. Sharply, Knowland replied he al ready has voiced complete faith in the Watkins group and Hen nings would know that if he had been paying attention. Knowland said the only agree ment tie has made is that no leg islative matters will be introduced in this session. "There is no agreement that we would not discuss other matters if the conditions of the world war rant," Knowland said. n PORTLAND ( Thanksgiving lurceys may oe J n iff' cents a pound cheaper this year.
