Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS London Soviet Communist Party Chief Nikita Khrushchev after a stormy dinner with British Laborites in the House of Parliament: "If this is the Socialist Party, then I would be a Conservative if I lived in Britain." New York Whiltaker Chambers, former Communist whose testimony convicted Alger Hiss, on the Soviet denunciation of Stalin: "With the smashing of the dark idol of Sialin. Communism can hope to compete for the allegiance of men's minds, especially among the youth." Minneapolis, Minn. Methodist Bishop Fred Pierce on racial integration: "The desire for better race relations is prevalent. The principle is no longer debatable. The sole question centers in a procedure which will preserve the good while eliminating the bad." New York Adlai Stevenson on civil rights and racial integra tion: "The achievement of equal rights for American citizens is the great unfinished business for the United States. This would be just as much the case had there been no Supreme Court decision on desegregation in the public schools. Washington President Eisenhower on Adlai Stevenson's pro posal that the United States ban H-bomb tests: "It is a little bit of a paradox to urge that we work just as hard as we know how on the guided missile and that we stop all research on the hydrogen bomb." - Bv EVELYN P.

Leopard Skins Line Bath Room Wails; Flip of Button Brings Spray of Cologne New YorkU.R) Cleanliness "I has come a long way from the days when the Saturday scrub in the washtub was the family custom. Now they're lining bath walls with leopard skins, gold plating the faucets and putting in show ers that spray cologne. "Any day now, we expect a request for a mink-lined tub," said Sherle Wagner, who with his wife runs one of the more lavish shops on Manhattan's lavish 57th st. The Wagners specialize in fancy trappings for bath, dress ing rooms and closets. They've equipped same for everybody from Texas oil millionaires to Greek shipping magnates. Attractive Mrs. Wagner, a na-. tive of Pittsburgh, is the interior decorator of the family. Her hus band, who studied architecture at New York university, works out the technical side of her ideas. Take that shower which sprays cologne. Mrs. Wagner said it is their newest gimmick. Flick a button after a regular shower and a mist of a woman's favorite fragrance sprays forth. The gold-plated faucets, one of the most popular items in the shop, cost $119. "They used to run as high as $500 and $600 before we devel oped a special plating method to cut cost," said Mrs. Wagner. The Wagners said they are equipping the staterooms on the yacht of Brig. Gen. David Sarn off, chairman of the Board of RCA. Another client is a wealthy woman in Bogota, Colombia, who asked the Wagners to plan baths, dressing rooms and closets for a house she has in mind. She said the architect could work out the rest of the plans around the Wagner's blueprints. Other customers have included General Batista of Cuba, Jenni fer Jones, the Ford families of Detroit, the Aga Khan and the Maharanee of Baroda. The "present demand in baths, the Wagners said, is for gold and white color schemes; leopard or alligator covering for walls or such accessories as waste bas kets; wash basins with hand painted design fired on in gold; and such Wagner exclusives as a "merman' 'and "mermaid" de sign in place of the usual "his" and "hers" on towels.
