So the six-foot lass has formed her own group, the "Club 72," signifying that no,, one under 72 inches can belong.

Molotov's first public reaction to Mr. Truman's anti-communism pblicy in the eastern Mediterranean Mediterran-ean was in the form of a written question-and-answer interview which was made public today. By implication Molotov label ed the American move as "for eign interference in the internal affairs of Greece." Renunciation of such interference, he said, was the best way in which democracy could be restored there. Molotov's comment was in reply re-ply to questions submitted by Jo hannes Steel, an American commentator. com-mentator. He was not one of the American correspondents includ ed in the quota covering the big. four conference, but came here on a visa granted outside that quota after the conference began. Asked whether concrete results re-sults could be expected from the conference, Molotov said the outcome out-come did not depend upon the Soviets alone, but in any case they would do everything they could toward desirable results.
