British Patience With Reds Near End, Eden Hints
London - (U.P.)- British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, emerging from an emergency cabinet meeting, today served indirect notice on Russia and the Communist bloc that Britain is nearing the end of its patience with Red stalling tactics at Geneva.
Informed sources said the Cabinet meeting instructed Mr. Eden to follow United States policy on Indonesia unless the Geneva negotiations show definite signs of results within reasonable time.
Mr. Eden, boarding his plane to return to Geneva, said he believes "our discussions in the next week or two will be decisive."

Diplomatic sources said he, in effect, set a time limit for the conference to show tangible results. The alternative apparently would be a move by Britain to join the United States and France in shaping a Southeast Asian defensive alliance.
But today's Cabinet session was reliably reported to have instructed Mr. Eden to side with the United States if the Reds, in an attempt to play the two allies, force a showdown on Southeast Asia at Geneva.
Up to now, the British government has refused to take any action on the American proposal pending the outcome of the Geneva sessions
They also agreed to continue Britain's "wait and see" policy at Geneva for a little longer, but the informants said Mr. Eden believes this week will be the crucial one of the conference.

Faculty Fossils Press Agent
By NINO LO BELLO
Take an Asiatic history specialist who can hit a mean line-drive, mix in a speech perfectionist who pitches a wicked in-curve, sprinkle on three portions of anatomy, English, and psychology who can run, field, and hit, stir well with a dash of sociological abracadabra and out comes the latest dish on the intramural menu—the Faculty Fossils softball team, undefeated in league competition.
When Sen. McCarthy mentioned the episode, Sen. Potter broke in to confirm that he had received such a suggestion.
Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens, in the witness chair as the hearings resumed after a week's recess, had sworn that the Army alone was responsible for its charges against Sen. McCarthy, Roy M Cohn, and Francis P. Carr.
Sen. McCarthy asked him, "would your answer be the same if you were to learn that someone high in the administration—I don't mean the Pentagon—telephoned. Sen. Potter and asked him to write for these charges?"
KU is probably the only school that has a faculty softball squad participating in a students' intramural program. The surprise element has been that the nine old men have copped the divisional championship in the Independent A league in spite of all efforts to laugh or ridicule them out of the race.
Sen. McCarthy spoke of the "prompting" from the administration official in questioning Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens as the Army-McCarthy hearings resumed after a week's recess.
Mr. Stevens said Sen. McCarthy's question was "too involved and too hypnotical" to answer.
Sen. Potter broke in then to say that what Sen. McCarthy said was true.
As a matter of fact, several weeks ago when Phog Allen's basketball team, led by co-captains B. H. Born and Allen Kelley, issued a softball challenge to the Fossils, the score ended up 8-7 with the professors on top—even though the cagemen had amassed a 7-0 lead in the early innings.
Nixon Helped Plan Army's Charges
sustained so far was in a practice game with the Senior class as part of the Senior day activities. Though the seniors collected what amounted to an all-star aggregation, they could only top the Fossils by a 3-1 score in the skirmish.
This afternoon the Fossils will have another opportunity to jeopardize their 8-1 record and to display their athletic talents when they engage Pearson hall for the Intramural "A" league championship at 4 o'clock on the girls diamond field. The final visit of the visitor of the ATO-PHI Gam contest for the Hill championship on Tuesday afternoon.
Sen. McCarthy himself raised the question of the official's intervention. He said—and Sen. Potter agreed—that the official had telephoned last March suggesting that he ask the Army for a report on the alleged pressures exerted by Sen. McCarthy and his aides to get favors for Pvt. G. David Schine.

But a source friendly to Sen. McCarthy later disclosed the official was Mr. Nixon.
It was disclosed that Sen. Charles Potter (R.-Mich.) wrote the Army inquiring about its troubles with Sen. McCarthy at the prompting of an "official high in the administration." They did not identify the official.
Washington—(U.P.)—Vice President Richard M. Nixon was disclosed today to have been engaged in backstage maneuvering that led to the Army's submission of charges against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy to members of the Senate investigating subcommittee.
