This report came from the U.

France, Britain, China and Canada. It was released along with a formal report of closed-door conferences they held with the Soviet Union in seeking to end the East- West deadlock. The report said that "the government of the U. S. S.

R. puts its sovereignty first and is unwilling to accept measures which may impinge or interfere with its rigid exercise of unimpeded state It added: "If this fundamental difference could be overcome, other dtffer- nces, which have hitherto appeared unsurmountable could be seen in true perspective arid reasonable ground might be found for their adjustment." The Russians refused in the closed mecttings to talk about disclosures of 'atomic explosions in the Soviet Union. The United States time and again reaffirmed-its position favoring the majority plan for atomic control as approved by the U. N. assembly last Nov.

4 in Paris. The Soviet Union hinted after the atomic explosion was announced last Month that the United States ought to have some new proposals but this produced no change. The net result: The East and West deadlock stands unchanged but the six powers, 'known as the sponsoring powers because they helped create the U. N. Atomic Energy commission, will continue the talks in November.

The statement of the five powers and the U. N. records of the meetings will be taken up by the special politi- since. Jline Haver, fToday Saturday Rialto Feature Sunday Is Ball Comedy Every spring, when the birds and bees start watching the guys and gals, "men seem to undergo a peculiar change. like spring fever, but it lasts all summer." The siren call brings them to the ball parks, and the saild lots where the thud of a ball against a mitt, the sharp crack of horsehide meeting ash and the hoarse cries of the umpire combine to make baseball America's favorite national pastime.

Capturing this on celluloid, Twentieth Century-Fox has come up with "It Happens Every starring Ray Milland, Jean Peters and Paul Douglas, the film, which opens Sunday at the Rialto Theatre, tells the story of a college chemistry teacher, who, through a strange chain of circumstances, is propelled unexpectedly from the classroom to the diamond where he becomes baseball's most famous pitcher. Outstanding Cast Cast in this key role is Ray Milland, aided and abetted by Paul Douglas, that "Letter to Three Wives" guy, who enacts the role of the team's wisecracking catcher. Jean Peters, who scored so sensationally in her screen debut te Tyrone Power in "Captain from Castile," provides Milland's love interest in the film. Heading the featured cast of the film are Ed Begley, Ted dc Corsia, Ray Collins, Jessie Royce Landis, Alan Hale, and Bill Murphy. Production credits for "It Happens Every Spring" go to William Pcrlberg, producer of "Mir- acje on 34th.

Half way through the dance, Miss Haver broke audibly into a laugh. Graham nodded as though pleased. "Audiences used to tell us that they enjoyed Marilyn because she obviously enjoyed hcrwork in her roles so much," he said.

"We have tired to tell June everything her striking resemblance to Marilyn. "June smiles same way with her whole face and body. It's a joyous look and that was one thing an audience always re membered about Marilyn. "After watching, June Haver lake hold of the role, I am satisfied, yes, delighted.

FOR SILVER LJ WNG." Qolpr by Technicolor. Opens Sunday at Rialto N.LR.AIso Protests Phone Hike Little Rock, Oct. 27 The city of North Little Rock today cited what it called "strong evidence" that telephone rates "are already too high." Through City Attorney W. Phipps, North Little Rock intervened in the Southwestern Bell Telephone company's application for a rate increase, and asked the Arkansas public service commission to deny the request. The intervention said the company's directory shows that long distance rates in Arkansas are higher than the interstate rates.

"The rates from Little Rock are cheaper to Muskogce, than to Fort Smith, cheaper to Shrcvc- port, than to Mangolia "The fact that the interstate commission fixes a rate from North Little Rock to Memphis, 15 per cent cheaper than for a similar call to West Memphis, is strong evidence that xxx rates are already too high," the intervention said. It also contends that the company admits making a three per cent net profit on present rates and that the proposed rates are about 30 per cent higher than current rates and added: i "Applicant should exercise some economiies and improve operating efficiency as a means of making a higher profit, rather than asking each year for an additional rate increase." Tho company last May asked the PSC to grant a rate increase of about $2,200,000 annually in Arkansas. It proposed an increase of about $1,734,000 on business and one-party residential customers and $465,000 on intra-state long distance calls. The PSC hearing on the application is scheduled Nov. 7.

"Amateurs and professionals are pretty well convinced, but they're afraid to leave for fear they'll miss something," Bill Lund, Alaska airlines pilot, said on his return from Fishwheel. Lund, with Robert Stevenson, Northern 1 idated airlines pilot, went to the Yukon area over the weekend and came up with two of the few nuggets he said had seen found at the river. He said the pilots showed the nutlets to a prospector. "Lord, he shouted the news to everyone in sight. They grabbed all their tools and lit out in every direction.

McTecr said it was altogether possible that Runyon, distraught 5ver loss of his livestock and other misfortunes, got the idea for blasting nine bar patrons from news accounts of the Unruh case.

"Now the Runyon case is spread across the country," he said, "and social pattern emerges."

Beosley to Confer With Colleges on Cash Funds Little Rock, Ot. 27 Stale comptroller Lee Roy Beaslcy will confer with officials of three Arkansas colleges this week on "effects" of the recent supreme court ruling on "cash funds."

The "cash funds" are revenue derived from monies not appropriated by the state, such as student fees, college operated concessions, etc, Bcasley said he would talk to officials at Atkansaa State Teachers in Comyay and Arkansas Tech at Russellville today, and with university heads in Fayetteville tomorrow. The comptroller said it will be necessary to work out some means for supplemental payment of extension service workers.

"Everyone is getting colors (small flakes of gold) such as you might find anywhere. But I didn't see any nuggets besides my own and Carroll's." Clifton Carroll started the stampede when he found nuggets "the size of peas" stuck to the musk on ixcited." Asked about the value of the By DeVVITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Britain's Socialist Prune Minister Attlee is in the uncomfortable position of the fellow who is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

This predicament arises from his laringly drastic experiment of devaluing the pound sterling in an ef- ort to increase British exports and so bring the country out of its economic tail spin. Then, having made this devaluation, he was accd with the necessity of devis- ng ways to prevent inflation from growing out of it to Inflict further lardship on an already grievously larassed country. The formula accepted for this afcguard was to slash the government's budget of $7,240,000,000, which was heavily laden with socialist welfare projects and defense measures. While this cut was jeing figured out by the experts, he government made the public lesh creep with warnings of how drastic the slash would be and vhat sacrificies it would involve. So the whole country was set for a fresh blast of the austerity which, ever since the start of the world var, has been riding John Bull like he old man of the sea.

Then when he time of disclosure arrived in he house of commons Monday the cannon-cracker proved to be something of a squib. The terrific slash was only an eight per cent cut. This was such an anti-climax that the general public not only was surprised but was worried for fear the government program isn't drastic enough meet one of the gravest economic crises and nation ever has experienced. All the major newspapers, excepting the Laboritc Daily Herald of London, condemn the proposals as inadequate. Moreover the cuts aren't in keeping with the measures for which the nation had prepared itself.

Rather typical was the comment of the London Daily mail which said in part: "After i i s' measured warnings, the nation was braced, tensed, keyed-up for heroic shocks. They have not Once again the government have shirked an unpleasant duty and have run away from a grave situation." This assault by the press was the heaviest Attlee was encountered since the socialists came to power some four and a half years ago and began their great experiment in nationalization and welfare government. Well, did the prime minister, astute politician as he usually is, misjudge the temper of his public? Has he been too timid in his demands for further sacrifices? It will be fairer to let Mr. Attlee answer that himself, as he may do Thursday when he demands a vote of confidence in commons after a debate on his program. Even his harshest critic probably would admit that the prime minis- er was in a most difficult position.

In the first place he had to ask imself how much more austerity ould be endured by a country hich had labored with tightened clt for ten harsh years. If he nade the burden too heavy what ould happen in the general elec- on which must be held by next uly? The correct answer to that as perhaps a matter of life and oath to Britain's experiment in ocialism which he was directing nd which he obviously believed U. S. Broadcast Gets Juke New York, Oct. 27 The "Voice of America" got a juke- box accent six months ago they're eating it up in the far away places! Sometimes the "voice" is Bing Crosby.

Sometimes it's Frank Sinatra. And sometimes its heart belongs to daddy. Because baby, even if it's a cold war outside, you gotta tell 'em how things arc in Glocca-Morra.

At least his fan mail would drive a stamp collector nuts. The "voice" backed into the popular field in a big way six months ago, and Block volunteered his services. A weekly half-hour pro- gram was beamed to Europe, the Far East, and Latin America.

It's called International Make Believe Ballroom. Block runs his program in strict disc jockey style, with lots of gags and chatter about musicians. But no commercials this is Uncle Sinn's sustaining program. Before long Block was getting more fan mail than any other "voice" program mid some of the axle of his fishwhcel, after which the boomtown has been named. That was two weeks ago.

Going Blind, Millionaire's Son, Kills Self London, Oct. 20 The Hon. Peter Beatty, 39-year-old grandson of Marshall Field and son of a famed British admiral, killed himself rather than face the world as a blind man, a coroner's court ruled today. The handsome young bachelor jumped to his death from the sixth floor of the fashionable Ritz hotel on Wednesday. He was losing his sight.

"He took his own life while the balance of his mind was disturbed by ill health," the court said. Westminster Coroner H. Neville Stafford said he was convinced that Beatty, wealthy and fortunate a spectacular career as a race horse owner, considered life empty after several operations to restore his sight only partly succeeded. He had had many eye operations. The last was on Sept.

Bcatly's valet, Albert Walters, told the court that his employer awoke early Wednesday in his Ritz suite, put on a dressing gown anc said he was going upstairs to visit friends. Instead, he went to the valet's room, opened a window, sat for a moment on a ledge then lurched forward. His body crashed into an ureaway, the fall breaking his jack.

McCain is in charge of subma riiic guided missile development. as in the interest of the nation. Of course that argument can cut vo ways, for failure to make cuts eavy enough to solve the cconom- crisis also might have the ef- ect of defeating socialism. It is rue, as this column previously has ointed out, that the socialist gov- rnment inherited the crisis.

But bile the Attlee government can isclaim responsibiliy for creating ic emergency, the fact remains hat it will be held largely re- ponsible for finding a solution, 'hereforc if the cuts in cxpendi- ures aren't sufficient, the blame aturally will be assessed against ocialism.
