Highest Tuesday 102 at Yuma, Ariz. Elsa Scorns Hula Hoops By FREDERICK M. WINSHIP -United Press NEW YORK (UPI) International society hula-hopped it up at the Astor Tuesday night to open what promises to be the most lavish social season since World War II. Deluxe red, yellow and blue around the hips of 1,000 socialites, many of them multi-millionaires, in the wackiest post-midnight scene in the history of the venerable Astor Hotel on Times Square. It was the first of the balls, debuts, and charity events'that will put an estimated 10 million dollars in circulation in the next eight months.

The -hoops were passed out to Rockefellers, Whitheys, Chryslers, Dukes, Mellons, Du Fonts and Biddies at the climax of the Astor Ball, an event, marking the reopening of the 54-year-old hotel's ballroom to the New York trade after years of social oblivion due to its West Side location.

Then Eleanor Whitney, divorced wife of Cornelius Vanderbjlt Whitney, broke the ice by lassoing Aly Khan in her hoop for a whirl around the ballroom.

By STEWART HENSLEY United Press International WASHINGTON Eisenhower today, reaffirmed U.S. determination to aappose nist aggression in the Far East. He. said this country will riot retreat in the face of force.

told his news conference that withdrawal of Chinese Nationalist forces from Quemoy and Matsu has been considered as one possible solution' to -the Formosa erisis. But he said- he was not sure this was the final answer on which everyone could -agree. He said he, like Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, believed -Generalissimo Chiang. Kai- shek had been unwise in com- miting such large forces on the offshore islands. The President emphasized, however, that people should not be- come so preoccupied with: specific geographical aspects, of the China crisis as to lose sight of the major danger which lay in the broad Communist threat to the free world.

Must Avofd Retreat Eisenhower was asked twice during the conference to Say whether he believed "demilitarization" of Quemoy and Matsu or reduction of the Nationalist forces there offer a possible solution of the crisis. Heji replied twice that he could conceive of no possible solution which the United States and its Allies had not considered, but that the basic issue remained to -avoid retreat in the face of force. second time he replied that if there is a cease-fire at Quemoy, there will be an opportunity to negotiate in good faith. But '-he was not certain that demilitarize- tion was the final answer "on which everyone could agree. Throughout the news conference on the Far East Vv hammere'd' the theme that the United Stages could not afford to retreat under fire at any point.

He said this VSs the basic principle which should not be neglected because of consideration of other matters of geographical nature. The President, as Dulles had done Tuesday, referred reporters to a recent speech by Secretary- Paul Henri Spaak of NATO. Spaak said, according to Eisenhower, that the free world, must realize that the issue is not simply Quemoy and Matsu but the constant Communist unrelenting pressure against the whole free world. Defends Quemoy Action While Eisenhower backed up Dulles' expressed belief that Chiang was to put 000 men on such an exposed position as Quemoy, he softened it somewhat by saying thsre were always differences of opinion between the United States and its Allies. Some of these were important differences, h'e' added, but this isl natural among free nations want to' preserve their individual sovereignty and independence.

The President "defended ITS. support of Chiang on Quemoy as being necessary at this time because the Communists themselves, including Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, had declared that this is the -first step in- a campaign to drive U.S. forces entirely out of the Eisenhower alsa rejected Communist assertions that the Formosa Strait battle is of a civil war. If that is so, fee asked, why is Khrushchev saying that the Russians are ready to participate. The President said he did not regard as' "appeasement" Dulles' remarks Tuesday concerning reduction of Nationalist forces, on Quemoy 'if there a cea'se- (Contlnutd on pagc'8) Driver Charged in Fatal Car Crash) in a three vehicle crash which took.the life of Mrs.
