It was a huddle of sweet ness and light, all hands peering through rose-colored glasses. In fact, however, there was no sum mit agreement on anything other than this: Ths Big Four foreign ministers Sadly IHKllliiKioiicd i v By LYLE C. WILSON ' WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presl- dent Elsenhower's stand-pat Insis fence that there shall be no Big Four summit meeting unless the effort Is justified by preliminary talks is based on sadly disillu sioning experience. Eisenhower was maneuvered in 1955 into a Big Four summit con ference. The conservative British government of Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden and the French government of Premier Edgar Foure were In political trouble at home. Each needed a summit meeting to appease their voters stud to checkmate opposition ptr-ties. were Instructed by the heads state to meet at a later date- also in Geneva to seek agree ment on three items European security and Ger man unification. Disarmament. East-West 'cultural contacts, The foreign ministers met November, 1955. They accom plished nothing. The best Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles could say of the meeting was "Our talks have not been wholly barren. British Foreign Secretary Har old Macmillan was not so thusiastic. - Macmillan said: "In stead of taking another step for ward, at the best, we are locked again in stalemate; at the worst, we have taken a step backward, French Foreign Minister An- toine Pinay said: "At least (the meeting) has given all of us chance to define our respective positions with clarity. Soviet Foreign Minister Vyache slav Molotov said: "The meeting has shown that every step . . coupled with no small difficul ties . which rather often push things backward instead of for ward." With those dismal observations, the foreign ministers separated. Of the three items assigned by the heads of state at their summit meeting for discussion by the for eign ministers, that one relating to East-West cultural contacts ap parently was something in which the Soviet Union was interested Agreements for such exchanges have been made, enabling Soviet artists to appear in the United States and American artists appear in the Soviet Union. That not much to come at long last from a meeting of the Big Four heads of state and a later meet ing of the foreign ministers. That, however, has been the total har vest. The foreign, ministers of the United States, the United Kine- aom a.no trance Jointly agreed in Washington last week that a sum mit meeting with the Soviet Un ion would depend on the prepara tion of constructive preliminary proposals by the foreign minis tcrs. The ministers will meet in Geneva May 11. Eisenhower agreed reluctantly in 1955 to the idea of a Bie Four summit meeting. At his March 23, 1955 news conference he said no such thing was even in the plan ning stage. Within a week he was saying that he could foresee 'many dangers"' in s a summit meeting. Thereafter Eisenhower began to warm up to the summit idea. This time he is more cautious. some friends who will swear they have heard me saying it for the last 30 years." Women apparently have been fibbing about their ages since Eve, who very likely tried to jus tify her conduct on the grounds she was too young to know any better. And the advent of the so cial security program in the late 30's certainly was no incentive for the girls to turn honest Jobs were hard to come by then, especially for people 40 or over, women ana men too in those days were giving them selves every benefit of the doubt, Job applicants couldn't believe then, and some still can't, lh, employers can t cneck on ages as listed with social security. The government doesn't care, and won't tell, if you lie to your boss It does wish though you would level with your Uncle Sam. A recent sampling by the Social Security Administration showed maybe one person in every 10 had substantially understated . his (or her) age in applying for a so cial security number. The agency claims not to have noticed which sex was the worse offender. It says men as well as women have been caught shavineJ tneir ages. It does happen though that many of the case histories the agency cites involve perfidi ous women. When the showdown comes, lot of these ladies immediately mmK of their marriage licenses as a good place to look for proof ot their age. But in the experi ence of some social security ex perts, that is probably the worst place of all. If ever a women is going to downgrade her age. ap parently, she does it when about to get wed. All sorts of evidence of actual age is available to most people, though. A birth certificate is the best of all, but these weren't generally in use 62 (or in the case of men, 65) years ago. family Bibles, baptismal cer tificates, insurance policies, and even gravestones are frequently neipiul. One worrisome possibility is that some people may be deny ing themselves benefits to which they are entitled rather than ad mit they originally understated their ages. This is one case though where lying to the govern ment is not an offense. Uncle Sam says come in, and come clean, and he will bend ev ery effort to help you prove you weren t nonest. The Lighter Side By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) - Some how a lot of women who back in 1936 signed on for social security coverage at a professed age of 30 or 3S are turning out now to be 62 and therefore ready to re tire. The way the government counts birthdays, these ladies still have from 4 to 9 years to go before starting to collect their retire ment pay. So now they are faced not only with admitting they lied about their ages originally, but with proving it. Sometimes this is tough. One youngish looking lady In some such fix is reported to have told a social security agent who asked for proof of her birth date; Well, I don't have any papers or anything, but I've lied so much about being 41 I probably have! Lyndon Johnson By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst wAsmwiiTUN, (AP) At the start it looked like such a com fortable year for Sen. Lyndon Johnson. As leader of the Senate Democrats the tall Texan had ev erything he could wish for, includ ing peace and quiet. It was like being the skipper of snip on a windless sea. Then suddenly out of nowhere the wind came up. It didn't capsize him but it rocked his boat. 1 Loyalty? He had it. Probably ev ery uemocratic senator la behold en to him for some favor or other. He's a great one for doing favors, knowing the importance of having senators feel favorable to him when he wants something done. ircstige? He had t in abun. dance. Wasn't everyone saying he was a positively brilliant maestro in a place which has more nrinin donnas than an opera house? Ha had a genius for getting them to say yes or no as he wanted. And best of all for him: he had overwhelming maioritv nf Democrats to work with. Thanks last November's elections, his party's majority was the greatest since early New Deal days. wnat more could a Senate lead- ask? If he were asked, he'l probably have said more of the SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal same, as anyone would. He was even being prominently mentioned as a likely Democratic presiden tial candidate in 1960. Then a comparative newcomer, Sen. William Proxmire, Wisconsin Democrat, strode up to the bridge and pulled the skipper's cap down around his ears. This was a few weeks ago. In brief, this was Proxmlre'i complaint: Senate Democrats were being treated to too much of the daddy-knows-best stuff, with Lyndon 'the Daddy. Proxmire wanted less of a one-man show and more say-so from everybody, He wanted Johnson to hold more pow-wows with other Democrats so they could have a voice in what legislation should be pushed, changed, or shoved aside. Last week Johnson encountered criticism of his leadership from another Democrat, Sen. Pat Mc- Namara of Michigan. He didn't like the way Johnson acted failed to act was the way he put it on the jobless pay bill. This bill, as approved by Con gress, was much less than McNa- mara wanted. He accused John son not only of failing to provide leadership but of failing to take a stand at all. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) came up with still more criticism during the weekend. He didn't mention the 51-year-old Johnsoi by name, nor did he name John son's fellow Texan, 77-year-old Sam Rayburn, speaker of the House. The two Texans have been the undisputed Democratic bosses in the Capitol. But Morse blasted the "Demo cratic leadership on Capitol Hill" which he said has been the "Char lie McCarthy in a political ventril oquist act" with President Eisen hower and his administration on the Edgar Bergen end of the act. Could it be," asked Morse, 'that we are witnessing a tragic political spectacle of both of our political parties in the control of old, tired, sick, reactionary men?" He said in effect: the Democrat ic leadership in Congress, instead of leading and pushing through Democratic programs, has been playing footsie with the Eisenhow er administration. On top of all this the 27-man Democratic party advisory coun cil tried to light a fire under John son and Rayburn Sunday with an appeal to them to ignore Eisen hower's spending holddown and to start a program to bolster the economy. Johnson, a man highly sensitive to criticism, was out of town and there was no word from him TeX.TUE OILM,lrJlrJD S4UE5M4M SLIM, LIFELONG RESIDENTS IrWUM 6ULCH,TALK AHO DRESS (-URVROSTVIE While Broadway s4m ahd Pittsburgh pete, two q4v5 ata dude horsetel, RdRLEy STRICTLy COWPOKE POWWOW-" Z&egf R4VVTM 4W f THEM ; ILe-yP'VARMmlL , t'll SEE YOU AT V WHEN YOU 1 BECKON IU SADDLE UP Mi; V TOOBUW y VV THE NEW SCHOOL- VJ" Youth Claims Death Mishap OREGON CITY (AP) - Final defense witnesses probably will be called today in the first degree murder trial , of Duane Marvin Anders, 17. r Y- BUT WHAT ABOUT THE "S THAT HEX SHE SAit SHE POT - "g'j ' MkSWV.

Peterson, a mar riage counselor at the University of Southern California, says this is a good idea. He says it wou d help give wives an appreciation of their husband's problems and pressures on the Job. we don t agree at all. We have another idea. We think every of fice should hire a 230-pound ex football tackle as a receptionist. His duty would be simple. Every time a wife stuck her nose in the door, the receptionist would throw a hammerlock on her, rassle her into the nearest elevator, and push the button marked "Down." We are somewhat old-fashioned in this matter. We don't say a woman s only place is in the kitchen o( her home. But we do say her place definitely is not in ner husband s office. And, except lor one or two oorn cowards. every man we know feels pretty mucn me same way. The average man likes to dram atize the horrors and hardships ne undergoes in nis task of bring ing home the bacon. So what hannens when hit wife during a pause in shopping, drops into the office unexpectedly? Everybody in the office is husv working but her husband. He is sitting there, laughing, with his feet on the desk and seeminclv siaring ai tne aerriere of a pass ing sienocrapner. The wife's visit is brief and rriRid. Here is a sample of the conversation at home that night. Wife: "You were the only one loanng. Husband: "As God is mv iudee I'd just put my feet on that desk one second before you came in lust to rest them." Wife: "But you were laughing." Husband: "The boss had itist told me a Joke and gone Into his oiuce. v.nen tne boss tells a joke, you have to laush, it's a form of unemployment insurance. wile: "Why were vou staring i mai prcuy stenographer? Husband: "What stenographer? I never even saw her. I was iust trying to figure out the point to tne ooss s lone. Wife, unconvinced: "Well. I wisn someone would pay me mon ey just to sit around and laugh with beth feet on the desk. Don t give me any more guff about what a nara we you have at the office. If you ask rio, I don't think you'll be there r.iuch longer from the look of things."

'BIG FIND' DETROIT (AP) A report of heavy smoke billowing from the rear of a West Side Detroit home sent firemen rushing to the scene. The firefighters found Henry Paul, owner of the home, grilling hotdogs and hamburgers on a portable grill. The Estacada High School honor student is charged with killing his father, Hector Anders, with a .22 caliber rifle last February, and then burning the body in a barn on the family farm. Anders went on the witness stand Saturday, and said that his father's death was accidental. The youth said that he fell as he started to climb out of the barn loft toward his father, who was letting cows out of the build ing. When he tumbled, Anders said, he dropped the rifle. The next thing he knew, Anders said, he saw the body on the floor. "f knelt down by his side and said 'Dad.' Then I shook him. When my hand came away from his shoulder there was blood on it. "I looked at him. His eyes were open. He wouldnt blink. He wouldn't say nothing. I couldn't get his eyes off me. All I could see were his eyes," Anders testi fied. Anders said he then dropped a lighted match into the hay and ran, afraid to tell anyone of his father's death. Defense attorney Otto Skooil asked the youth: Did you love your dad?" "Yes, I did," Anders said. Skopil asked: "Did you intend to shoot your father?" Anders replied: "No, I didn't." WHO GOOFED? DENVER, Colo.

The Bishop also urged a trial period ol financial independence for St. Helens Hall, an Episcopal girls' school in Portland which has been receiving financial aid from the church.
