PAGE THREEa UAR, Syria, Iraq To Hold Vote On Three Member Arab Un10n n Delegations Detail Plans With Nasser Forecast Expansion To Socialist Republic By The Associated Press DAMASCUS - Syrian Premier Salah Bitar announced yesterday plebiscites will be held shortly ir the United Arab Republic, Syris and Iraq on a draft agreement for a federal union of the three coun- tries. The announcement followed a statement by the new Syrian army commander, Mai. Gen. Luway At- assi, declaring "the movement for . nification is actually under way."$ Informed sources said an agree- ment in principle had been reach- ed for a three-member federal Arab republic. Delegations from the new revolutionary regimes of Syria and Iraq were in Cairo for talks with UAR President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Socialist State =Maj. Gen. Atassi told the na- tion in a broadcast the movement will "expand until it becomes the great Arab socialist state, and it becomes one of the great powers of this earth." Atassi's statement and the dis- patch of a Syrian delegation to Cairo indicated that the new Syr- Ian cabinet, meeting for four days to draft future policy, has finally reached agreement. ' Damascus radio said the mixed military and civilian delegation will work out details of the union as soon as possible. Compromise The announcement of a union as soon as possible is regarded here as a compromise between the staunch Syrian pro-Nasser factions' and the Iraq-Syrian Ba'ath party alliance that advocates Arab unity in more general terms. The Syrian Nasserites are re- ported- to be pressing for imme- diate resurrection of the Syrian- Egyptian merger as the UiAR, which broke, up September, 1961. The Ba'athists were reported to be advocating a gradual federa- tion of the three countries. The union poses a sharp threat to Jordan and Saudi Arabia. It is bound to give a boost to pro- union forces in Jordan, squeezed between Syria and Iraq. Jordanian King Hussein also has long been the target of violent attacks by the propaganda machine of Nas- ser. In addition to the projected po- litical union of the three coun- tries, Ba'athist leaders in Iraq and Syria have suggested the forma- tion of a joint five-power military command, to include Yemen and Algeria. Nasser is reported to be reluc- tant to rush back into union with. Syria or to unite with Iraq with- out careful preparation. While the revolt leaders in Baghdad and Damascus have been issuing emotional statements in- dicating unity was just around the corner, the atmosphere in Cairo has been notably calmer. French Unions Start Striking PARIS (AP)-French railroad un- ions yesterday called a 24-hour nationwide strike as optimism spread among coal miners that they are winning their 14-day strike for better wages and hours. The rail unions scheduled the strike to begin today. Trains en route at the deadline were in- structed to continue to the next station and halt. The railroad strike was called by the same un- ion organizations which represent the striking coal and iron miners. FEAR PERONISTS: Argentina Places Forces On Alert By The Associated Press BUENOS AIRES-Argentina's armed forces went on full-scale alert yesterday, and the divided government debated its course in the face of a new Peronist bid for power. A Vatican decision lifting excommunication against Argentinian ex-dictator Juan D. Peron, now in exile in Madrid raised hopes of his follewsr girding for a comeback in June elections. Alarmed at signs of Peronist resurgence, military leaders ordered the full-dress alert, and federal police took security measures at key installations which were lifted" Railroads Take Step In Battle CHICAGO (AP)-Union and man- agement negotiators looked to Washington yesterday for the next movein the stalematedwork rules battle between the nation's rail- roads and about 200,000 workers. Some action by President John F. Kennedy or Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz to get the sides back to the bargaining table and avert a possible national railroad strike was regarded as a certainty. The latest efforts to reach agree- ment on the nearly four-year-old controversy over the carriers' pro- posal to overhaul longestanding work rules 'collapsed Wednesday. Five Brotherhoods Chiefs of the five operating brotherhoods representing engi- neers, firemen, trainmen, brake- men and switchmen remained in Chicago despite the breakoff of negotiations. Their spokesman said they were ready to resume negotiations if the carriers' representatives will engage in "true collective bargain- in g ."" James E. Wolfe, chief negotiator for the carriers, indicated he favors third party intervention. He said it appears further direct negotia- tions with the unions would be useless. Washington Summons Persons close to the negotiations said it was possible President Ken- nedy or Wirtz would summon the parties to Washington to impress them with the need for continuing negotiations. ' President Kennedy could also appoint an emergency board to in- vestigate the dispute and make recommendations for a settlement. Appointment of such a board would forestall a strike-if one is called-for at least 60 days. The carriers propose sweeping overhaul of work, rules, termed featherbedding by the railroads, which they say have cost them $600 million a year. Some 65,000 jobs are at stake, including those of 40,000 firemen; which the railroads say are un- necessary for the operation of modern rail equipment. ANTI-TRUST STUDY: Publishers Warn House Of Constitutional Danger WASHINGTON (MP-The general manager of the American News- paper Publishers Association said yesterday Congress would be "skat- ing on thin ice constitutionally" in any move to force an increase in "the number and variety of 'voices' in the newspaper field. Stanford Smith and other officials of the publishers' organiza- tion went before a House anti-trust subcommittee with a mass of testimony and a 189-page legal brief. Officials of the ANPA urged that the inquiry be broadened to include the "power and practices" of labor unions.Smith said current news-+ SQUEEZED OUT-.fordanian King Hussein (left), worried that hie country, located in between Syria and Iraq, was in danger when delegates from Syria and Iraq were sent to Cairo to discuss a fed- eral union draft with UAR President Nasser. FREE ENTERPRISE: Federal Judge Frees GM From Anti-Trust Charges LOS ANGELES (A')-A federal judge acquitted General Motors of anti-trust charges yesterday, ending a suit which some said imperiled a basic sales technique, the franchise system. The government contended in a criminal action that General Motors conspired with Cl- ,rolet dealer associations to halt sale of new cars to discount houses.

The government " said it will continue to push a civil suit filed as a parallel to the criminal case dismissed. Exclusive Rights Under the franchise system, au- thorized dealers are granted exclu- sive rights to sell products in their territory. When car sales were slow, certain dealers wholesaled cars to discount houses, which, sold them at prices under those of franchised dealers. The government contended that to put a stop to this practice GM and dealers associations secretly agreed to pressure offending deal- ers into stopping the practice. Free Enterprise Judge Clarke said he agreed with the Justice Department that con- sumers must be protected, but said the rights of industry under the free enterprise system must be protected also. "The present franchise system between General Motors and their dealers is hereby upheld," the judge announced. A spokesman at GM headquar- ters in Detroit said the company is making no comment on the judge's action. The case began Oct. 12, 1961, when a federal grand jury indict- ed General Motors, three south- ern California car dealer associa- tions and various individuals. Surprise Move Sends Dog Bill To House Floor LANSING--The House State Af- fairs Committee introduced into the House yesterday a proposal to legalize dog racing in Michigan. The surprise move was made after the committee reluctantly reported out a bill providing that an increase in the state's take from horse race betting be used to underwrite stadium bonds. "As long as they want racing, we'll give it to them," committee chairman Lloyd Gibbs (R-Port- land) said, following a successful fight by Gov. George Romney and Republican leaders to pry the fi- nancing bill from the committee. The proposal would set up a schedule of meetings under a state commission similar to the one that oversees horse racing. It was indi- cated that the bill would be turned over to the House Ways and Means Committee before it could be brought to a vote. later in the day yesterday. Extra guards made no immediate move to leave various communications centers.. Mounting Anxiety The military, professed oppon- ents of any Peronist revival, had shown mounting anxiety following an electoral court ruling that cer- tified a Peronist front party, Un- ion Popular, for the nationwide elections June 23. The navy vowed that "the era of dictatorship can never return." Naval forces were reported in a state of "battle readiness." Civilian members of Argentinian President Jose Maria Guido's gov- ernment are in favor of Peronist participation in the election cam- paign. The cabinet was summon- ed into full session Friday to con- sider the situation. Deposed Frondizi Guido came to power a year ago when the military deposed Argentinian President A r t u r o Frondizi following sharp Peronist electoral gains. Held for, many months on a navy island, Frondizi was moved earlier this month to Southern Argentina. The army's commander in chief, Gen. Juan Carlos Ongania, may play a major part in future devel- opments. Ongania, who led a re- bellion last September that laid the basis for the scheduledelec- tions, has just completed a three- week tour of military bases in the United States. S'Informants said that Ongania might determine the course of events, ifdhe should relax his pre- viously avowed opposition to Per- onist participation in elections. Ongania controls a powerful garrison outside Buenos Aires, gen- erally considered the key factor in any military dispute because of its tanks and 12,000 men. Peron has been quoted as saying Argentine industrialists are press- ing him to return to Argentina be- cause the present regime is push- ing the country toward economic chaos. 1 British Bond On Kenya Issue MOGADISHU (M)--The Somali National Assembly yesterday ap- proved a government 'decision to break diplomatic relations with Britain in a territorial dispute in- volving Kenya's northern frontier district. Somalia wants the northern dis- trict of Kenya, inhabited mainly by Somalis.' Britain last week an- nounced general elections through- out Kenya in May as a step to- ward independence.t Demonstrators rioted last week outside the British embassy here and the British consulate in Har- geisa. Although officials in Lon- don said they understood Britons were safe, several have been flown out by chartered plane to Aden. Ethiopia also has claims on the northern frontier district and troops of both Ethiopia and Kenya have been reported moving close to the Somalia border. Somalia Severs paper strikes in New York and Cleveland make such a study nec- essary. Proper Scope The association's presentation touched off a dispute with sub- committee members about the proper scope of the House inquiry into concentration of ownership in the newspaper field. Chairman Emmanuel Celler (D- NY) said the ANPA arguments in- dicated the organization objects to the whole inquiry. Smith said the publishers' asso- ciation "raises no question as to the authority of this subcommittee to inquire into general newspaper business practices." Legal Brief The ANPA's legal brief was pre- pared by Arthur B. Hanson, the ANPA general counsel, and spe- cial counsel Prof. S. Chesterfield Oppenheim of the Law School. They contended that "one basic barrier to any drastic application of anti-trust policy to newspapers is the First Amendment's consti- tutional safeguard. In sum, this guarantee of freedom of the press precludes governmental interfer- ence with the functions of the press which go beyond the - mere business practices topwhich the anti-trust laws may properly be applied." Prof. Oppenheim said "there is no question' about the jurisdiction of this subcommittee to investi- gate the practices of the newspa- per business as of any business." He said any special legislation designed to halt newspaper mer- gers "could raise a constitutional issue." printers' strike. I_. Unions To Vote On Ratification O af cOf Settlement NEW YORK (AJ)-More barriers fell yesterday and increased hopes for an end to New York's 97-day newspaper blackout by early next week. Stereotypers and Guild members on eight closed dailies scheduled ratification votes on publishers' settlement terms. The AFL-CIO New York News- paper Guild, which bargains in- dividually with the papers, is hav- ing its membership vote on sun- day and Monday, which could pro- long the costly blackout until Tues- day. The Guild is not on strike but was drawn into negotiations after striking Local 6, AFL-CIO Inter- national Typographical Union, reached tentative settlement last week with publishers of the eight papers. ITU leaders and publishers ten- tively agreed on a $12.50 a week contract package spread over two years. The proposal will be voted on by Local 6 on Sunday, and union officials have predicted ac- ceptance. The ITU settlement plan also provided for a common expiration date for newspaper contracts with 10 different labor unions. The date is to coincide with the end of the printers' strike.

Today let us examine that much maligned, widely misuoder-. stood, grossly overworked, wholly dedicated campus figure- the dean. The dean (from the Latin Deanere-to expel) is not, as many think, primarily a disciplinary officer. He is a counselor and glide, a haven and refuge for the troubled student. The dean (from the Greek Deanos-to skewer) is characterized chiefly by sympathy, wisdom, patience, forbearance, and a fondness for homely pleasures like community singing, farina, spelldowns, and Marlboro Cigarettes. The dean (from the German Deange- macht-to poop a party) is fond of Marlboros for the same reason that all men of good will are fond of Marlboros-because Marlboro is an honest cigarette. Those good Marlboro tobaccos are honestly good, honestly aged to the peak of perfection,'hon- estly blended for the best of all possible flavors. Marlboro honestly comes in two different containers-a soft pack which is honestly soft and a Flip-Top box which honestly flips. You too will flip when next you try an honest Marlboro, which, one honestly hopes, will be soon.

We were learning how a dean helps poor, troubled undergraduates. To illustrate, let us take a typical case from the files of Dean 3'i......of the University of Y. (Oh, why be so mysterious? The dean's name is Sigafoos and the University is Yutah.) Wise, kindly Dean Sigafoos was visited one day by a fresh- man named Walter Aguincourt who came to ask permission to marry one Emma Blenheim, his dormitory laundress. To the dean the marriage seemed ill-advised, for Walter was only 18 years old and Emma was 91. Walter agreed with the dean, but said he felt obligated to go through with it because Emma had invested her life savings in a transparent rainhood to protect her from the mist at Niagara Falls, where they planned to spend their honeymoon. If Walter called off the wedding, what use would the poor woman possibly have for a rainhood in Yutah? The wise, kindly dean pondered briefly and came up with a brilliant answer: let Walter punch holes in the back of Emma's steam iron. With steam billowing back at the old lady, she would find a rainhood very useful-possibly even essential. Whimpering with gratitude, Walter kissed the dean's Phi Beta Kappa key and hastened away to follow his advice-and the results, I am pleased to report, were madly successful i Today Emma is a happy woman-singing lustily, wearing her rainhood, eating soft-center chocolates, and ironing clothes -twice as happy, to be candid, than if she had married Walter ... And what of Walter? He is happy too. Freed from his un- wanted liaison with Fmma, he married a girl much nearer his own age-Agnes Yucca, 72. Walter is now-the proud father- 2nd Annual IFC-Vulcans AuMu! meAlN mi 'IL ~ t
