US And Norway Begin Talk On Defense Pact
Washington, Feb. 7—(U.P.) Norway starts important talks with the United States today to determine whether she will defy Russia and join the Western powers in a strong non-Communist defense alliance.
The Norwegian - American negotiations assumed new importance in the East-West cold war when Russia issued a second warning to Norway against joining the projected seven-nation North Atlantic security pact.
Diplomatic authorities expected Halvard Lange, Norwegian foreign minister, Wilhelm Manthe De Morgenstierne, Norwegian ambassador, and other Norwegian officials to meet sometime today with Secretary of State Dean Acheson. The talks may be broadened later to include envoys of Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
Norway's participation in the historic pact is by no means certain. But Norwegian sources said Soviet pressure to reject the proposed alliance would not determine or even influence Norway's final decision. Russia offered Norway a non-agression treaty presumably as an inducement to stay out of the Western power alliance.
The tiny Scandinavian country, which has a common frontier with Russia, probably will ask the United States how much military equipment she can expect from the big Western powers and how soon the West will provide it if she casts her lot with them. And the Norwegians are expected to seek clear statements on whether the West would require peacetime military bases in Norway—a concession Norway has said she will not grant.
Other important developments expected this week:
1. Conferences at the state department with Danish and Swedish ambassadors on whether they can expect arms from the United States if they stay outside the part. The United States has indicated that they can't, but this may not be final.
2. New meetings between Secretary of State Acheson and key members of the senate foreign relations committee. The congressional group will receive the treaty sometime in March for preliminary action on ratification.
3. The first meeting between Secretary Acheson and envoys of the six other nations that have been drafting the treaty.
Bupestad — Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty was under constant guard in his cell today while he awaited the verdict of the people's court which tried him and six co-defendants on a variety of charges. The verdict was scheduled for tomorrow, at 2 a.m. C.S.T. The Cardinal could be sentenced to death by hanging. That was the penalty the state demanded by implication in its summation Saturday.

Take Heart Men, Skirts Are Getting Shorter Again, Dress Designers Say
New York—(UP)—Some skirts are going up above the knee again. The trend is revealed in the sportswear collections presented as part of the New York Dress institute's 12th semi-anual National Press week.
Claire McCardell has come out with an above the knee dress designed for sunny terraces, beaches and lounging around home on hot days.
Clare Potter figures her above the-knee skirts are best suited for golfing, but the customers can do what they want with them. And the designer says she's having a terrible time selling slacks. The customers want shorts, and they're getting them.
Joset Walker's costumes are mostly regular length "spectator" sports dresses, but there's one play-suit there that follows the trend, with shorts hemmed to show off the
imple in the knee and a kangaroo pocket to carry the suntan oil or the baby.
Practically all of Miss McCardell's bathing suits are one piecers this year, but they show about as much skin as the bare-midriff jobs in their slit-to-the-middle necklines. Gold safety pins can be added when necessary. A number of the swim suits are in practical quick-drying nylon.
