Agreement on trade doesn't nee lessarily mean agreement on other big issues such as disarmament i or the Soviets' demand that the Western Allies get their troops out of Berlin. It has been past Soviet practice to haggle on each issue as if none was relat- to any other. During the war this country provided the Soviet Union with 800,000,000 worth of military and civilian equipment. After the war the United States wrote off the equipment and concen- on getting paid for the civilian goods still in Soviet hands. The value of the civilian goods was pegged at 52,600,000,000 by this country.

After the two previous talks the United States had scaled down its claim to 800 million dollars. The Soviets offered 300 million. lars worth.

He said the Eisenhower administration may ask Congress--provided there is a settlement- to remove some legal prohibitions against dealing with the Soviet Union and to extend more favored tariff treatment. But one of the main roadblocks to any big increase in trade with the U.S.S.R. soon--even if there's a settlement--is that goods that American purchasers want from abroad in substantial quantities, and which the Soviets have available, are already being supplied Vocalist Connie Haines, now recovered from a rare paralyzing illness that kept her in bed for two years, romps through her Hollywood home with her two children, Kimerly and Bobby 3Vi.

Thomas Says Connie Haines Never Gave Up While Sick By BOB THOMAS AP Mmit-TV Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP)-The cliche "hopeless cripple" might have been applied to singar Connie Haines when she lay abed for two something and didn't pay too years, unable to walk. much attention. "By the fifth night, I' couldn't walk onstage. But I could cover up by sort of dancing on. I had never missed a performance in my life and believed the show should go on and all that.

Finally, the manager told me it was too agonizing to watch me go on and he got another act. "The next day I went to the doctor for X-rays. I remember feeling that day as if my bones were just disintegrating." The X-rays showsd that her hip bones had separated and one was dangling, twisting the spinal cord. But it would been a mistake. She never gave up hope that she would conquer the bone ailment that paralyzed her.

Her story began three years ago. She was at the peak of her success. Her records were selling: well and an appearance as subject of "This is Your Life" had helped bring her the top bookings of her career. Connie's personal life was joyful, too. The wife of aircraft executive Robert DeHavsn, she was the mother of daughter Kimberly, 3 months.

She had just learned she was to have another baby. Bow! in Los Angeels," she recalled. "When 1 went onstage, my left leg started to buckle under me. I thought it was nerves or her condition and she was ordered to bed. "Still, I felt no pain," she said.

'1 never did. The doctor said it came from my being so relaxed." Connie was confined to bed throughout the pregnancy, except when she ventured out on crutches against orders. Lacking pain, she was unaware that the cartilege between her bones was being worn away, further impeding her recovery. After a son Robert was born, she still remained immobile for 13 months. Her faith never wavered.

"An experience like this only deepen your faith," she remarked. "I always remembered Romans 'For I am sure that neither death, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Now recovered alter therapy, Connie has played a singing date in New Orleans and is starting to record this week for Dot Records.
