Ike's Plan
For Peace
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (iP)-
President Dwight D. Eisenhow
er's plan to pool atomic energy
for peace was laid before Soviet
Foreign Minister• Molotov per
sonally today in Moscow, with a
request, that he give it earnest
consideration.
The State Depart ment an-
noUnced that U.S. Ambassador
Charles E. Bohlen made a spe
cial trip to Molotov's office to im
press on him "the importance and
seriousness of th e President's
proposal." •
MolotoV's reaction to the visit,
if any, was not disclosed. A State
department spokesman said that
as far as he knew 'there has as
yet been no official response from
the Soviet government.
That the administration still
hopes for some favorable reaction
was reiterated by Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles on his
departure for a North Atlantic
Treaty Organization meeting in
Paris.
"The 'President's great address
of last Tuesday boldly charted a
way to reduce the great peril of
our time," Dulles said. "We hope
others will follow in that way. In
any ease, progress will of neces
sity be gradual."
"In the meantime," he added
with reference to his NATO mis
sion, "it is essential to. maintain
the power to defend against and
strike back against. any aggressor.
It is largely through NATO that
we gain that power, in the corn
mcii. interest."
Dulles headed a 15-man dele
gation that included Secretary of
Defense Charles Wilson and Sec
retary of the Treasury George
Humphrey. They flew in Eisen
hower's plane, ;the Columbine, to
attend a three-day, 14-nation de
fense strategy review opening in
Paris Monday.
Eisenhower went before th e
United Nations Assembly in New
York Tuesday to propose that
the United States an d. Russia,
along with other atomic powers,
pool some of their fissionable
materials in a UN agency and
work jointly to develop them for
peaCeful,purposes.

Trouble for the Irish
JEANNIE RISLER, as Juno Boyle, struggles to keep her family
together despite the handicaps of 'a drunken wastrel, Joxer, played
by Sam Schonely, left, and her shiftless husband "Captain" Jack
Boyle, as portrayed by 'John Yeatman, right, during the civil.strife
of Ireland in the '2os. The scene is from Players' "Juno and the
Paycock" which opened a five weekend run last night at Center
Stage.
'Juno' Scores Hit
Pathos,
Center
Pathos, humor, and, tragedy were brilliantly blended last night
in Players' Center Stage production of "Juno and, the Paycock."
Director Kelly Yeaton and an excellent cast combined talents to
elevate Sean O'Casey's tragicomedy to the heights of Penn State
arena-drama.
The degradation of the Boyle
family in a crumbling Ireland is
understandingly dramatized in the
meal-to-meal setting of tenement
life.
Magnificent as Juno Boyle,
Jeannie Risler lives the part of
the courageous housewife who
must keep her family together
against the forces of poverty and
a torn nation. From the moment
she steps onstage, a sprightly
match for her troubles, to the
dramatic exit in the last act, Juno
commands the audience's sympa
thy, and admiration.
