For two days, the bartenders have lived in utter boredom, since few Russians have showed up for a drink. "Very serious, these Russians," one bartender said. They aren't doing much public drinking while here for the Big Four summit talks, he said. The Russians have no real bars at home and aren't used to this Western form of taking aboard a load. Their drinking is done fast and with food, the bartend er explained mournfully. Russians Hit Night Spot But not all the Soviet dele gates are stay-at-homes, and their leaders have taken unprecedent ed steps to show themselves to the populace. Three Russians were spotted Monday night inspecting th scenery at one of Geneva's many night spots which feature nude shows. The visitors sat well back in a corner. They drank only coffee, while a band played "Can't We Talk It Over?" Premier Nikolai Bulganin, So viet Communist Party Secretary Nikita Khrushchev and Marshal Georgi Zhukov have amazed the Swiss by riding around in an open limousine with scant secur ity precautions. Before the conference opened five of them piled into the back seat of a convertible, with Bui ganin and Khrushchev on the jump seats, and took off on tour of old Geneva. Only one security car- accom panied them. They waved and smiled in friendly style to pass- ersby. $300 when you buy a Now MCA Estate EDecttroc ilk DSairage Jm AUTOMATIC COOK1 h's a hendsem lampl -It's an accurate electric clock!

President Eisenhower said in his opening statement that, the talks were designed to find basis for accommodation" that will make future concrete soli tions possible. . British Prime Minister ; An thony Eden offered Russia a five power non-aggression pact with a demilitarized buffer zone be tween East and West. French Premier Edgar Faure suggested a security organiza tion to include all European countries as well as a new dis armament deal. Reflect Western Agreement A first assessment of the West's peace plans led observers to conclude that these views re flected Western agreement on the broad principles of a possi ble settlement but the absence of a joint plan so far on how it could be achieved. Western observers welcomed President Eisenhower's policy statements as a "sober and con ciliatory" outline of Allied strat egy for future diplomatic moves, But they also noted its cau tious and noncommital air, which contrasted with the more firm British and French ap proach to the methods for European settlement. Interest focused particularly on the vital Question of Euro pean security wnicn au inree Western government chiefs men tion,' but with a marked differ ence of emphasis. Mr. Eisenhower referred to the "legitimate security inter ests of all . concerned." He also expressed readiness to take ac count of "legitimate security in terests of the Soviet Union. 'Practical Start' The British plan called for a 'practical start" and advanced the idea of a security pact be tween the United States, Britain, France, Russia and Germany, binding each country to go to the aid of a victim of aggression. France had its own ideas, Faure suggested that the West ern powers sign mutual security guarantees with the Soviet un der which any nation attacking Russia would lose the aid of other Western European Union or NATO countries. . Moreover, France envisions a security " organiaztion to include all European nations willing to join it, with additional defensive guarantees. This would approach the So viet concept of an all-European security pact.-But the essential French provision is -that the West's regional defense organi zationsthe WEU and NATO would remain intact along with the Soviet bloc's ' 'Eastern NATO" formed under the War saw pact. . . - Doris Duke Sues Confidential Magazine Santa Monica, Calif. (U.R) Tobacco heiress Doris Duke, on oi tne world s richest women, ae cused Confidential magazine in a thee million dollar suit today of depicting her ' as carrying on a relationship" with a member of a non-caucasian race. In Superior Court suit filed yesterday by attorney Jerry Ueisler, Miss Duke accused the magazine of depicting her in a recent illustrated article of "car rying on" with a "brown-skinned individual in a manner that would imply an Intimacy be tween the parties." Giesler said Miss Duke was not interested in the money per sonally and would give whatever damages she might win to char ity. He said she filed suit "to de fend her good name and to dis courage this magazine and oth ers of its ilk from making sim ilar unfounded attacks on inno cent people."

' .- -; Congressmen Express Optimism On Opening Remarks at Geneva Washington (U.R) Con gressmen keeping a long-distance watch on developments at Geneva were generally optim istic today over the Big Four meeting's opening tones of co operation. But some frowned critically at Soviet Russia's op ening proposal for European se curity. Sen. John J. Sparkman (D Ala.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said Soviet Prime Minister Nik olai Buleanin's proposal for liquidating the North Atlantic Treaty organization is "impos- sible for us to agree to," without some kind of workable arms control, plan for Europe. Sen. Homer. E. Capehart (R- Ind.), said "I'm not in favor of liquidating NATO." But he said he did' not think the Russian nrooosal "closes the door" to possible progress at the Big Four talks. Most Senators Optimistic Congressional leaders expect ed to set their first report on developments today from Vice President Richard M. Nixon. It was agreed at a White House meeting last week that congres sional leaders would receive special progress reports on the Geneva talks Many senators voiced open op timism about prospects for suc cess at Geneva in light of the opening statements by the "Big Four." There was strong praise for President Eisenhower's eight- point program. And some were especially interested in British Prime Minister Anthony Eden's arms control plan for Europe, Chairman Walter F. George (D-Ga.), of the Senate Foreign Relations group said that "as a first step," Eden's plan "might well be kept under considera tion." He said that "once there can be an agreement, even gen eral, some progress may be pos sible." 'Nothing New' on NATO Sen. J. William Fulbricht fD- Ark.1. a member of the commit- I tee, said there is ''nothing new about the Russian desire to "eliminate NATO." But he said the proposal should not be the preclusion of further attempts" by the Western powers toward Mental Hospital Site Down To Six Choices Portland (U.R) An" advi sory committee to select a site for the proposed Portland area state mental hospital today had narrowed he list of possible sites to six. A spokesman for the commit tee indicated final selection was several weeks away. One site which appeared to hold the most interest for the committee was one just south of Hillsboro. Of the other four sites still being considered, one was located on the Wilsonville Highway south of Tualatin and two more were in the same gen eral area. Another was the site of the Multnomah County farm, while the final promising site was the grounds of the old In verness Golf course. The committee was exoected to recommend two or three sites to the' State Board of Control, which would make final selection. Zeppo Marx Sued For Actions of Son Hollywood (U.PJ Selection of a jury was underway today in tne trial of a $300,000 damage suit filed against 'comedian Zep po Marx of the famed Marx brothers, on charges his son, Tim, 11, struck another child in the eye with a stone. Oilman Mortimer Singer and his wife, Bernice, who filed the suit on behalf of their daughter, uenise, cnarged the Marx boy "was so negligently trained and supervised that he develooed a belligerent and hostile nature." Attorneys for Marx said thev would contend that "all kids throw things" and that Tim aimed the rock at a tree and hit the girl accidentally.

Alexander Smith (R N.J.), the committee's second ranking GOP member, said Ed en's proposal was "something that ought to be explored." He told a reporter that "our whole attitude must be one of optimism and hope that the attitude of conciliation" by all parties at the talks "will be really sincere." Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) another committee member, said he was "very happy" with the generally mild tone of Bulganin's speech. . DRESSES ... 4 Days Left!
