COMPROMISE PLAN FOR DULLES Contempt Ruling

News Coverage Of Red China
Washington, July 17.
A compromise plan for limited American news coverage of Communist China will be up for discussion on Thursday afternoon in a meeting of news media representatives and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles.
The meeting may produce a long-awaited break-through in the "Bamboo Curtain," which was first created by the Chinese Communists and later maintained by a US State Department ban on all American travel to the Chinese mainland.

The Royal Show, which has been described as "the greatest iffuerant farm show on-carth", opened at the begin- ning of this month in Norwichi. Reason for the adjective 'Itinerant" is that for all but six of the 118 years the show has existed, it has travelled England, depending on local interest to offset the travelling expenses. Pride of place in the show goes to livestock, but there is also a display of the latest in farm machinery, and a Minister of Agriculture exhibit has benn set up over an acre-and-a-half to show arultms of husbandry. There is, too, a wool exhibit, in which New Zealand's Gallery Bowen, world shoop-sheazing record holder, is showing his method of shearing which is based on time and motion study.
