WASHINGTON (JP)-The Senate
last night upheld President Lyn-

surplus food to Egypt but then
dealt him a setback by voting to
nullify a Veteran's hospital clos-

A compromise proposal soften-

the Senate, 44-38.

flexibility in dealing with Egypt,
said a blunder now could embroil
the United States in trouble-there
when "there's enough trouble in
another place"-Viet Nam.
He also suggested there is a
danger of interfering with the
flow of oil from U.S. investments
in the Middle East and asked
"where are we going to get this
oil if we don't go where it is?"

NEW YORK-America's Soviet

on world Communism during the
seventh annual College Editors'
Conference this weekend.

Lyons claimed.
"Nor is the much publicized
Sino-Soviet split a reason for be-
lieving that the Soviet Union will
try to ally itself with the West,
according to Lyons.
He noted that many people for-
get about the similar moral stand-
ard of the two Communist govern-
ments and other factors which
unite the USSR and China with
more strength than the forces
which divide them.'
Jan Liebrach, historian and
author, disputed Lyons' analysis.

nounced a new $4 million trade
agreement between Britain atd
the Soviet Union.
Liebrach disagreed with L.yoli
and Lasky. He believes that "we
should help countries break Saway
from Russia." Since the Cold War
is a political war "in which we
have to apply political tactics,"
trade or any other tactic that will
embarrass the Russians by point-
ing out their deficiencies should
be used.
Lyons concluded that "we mtust
let Communism wear itself out,"
and charged, "the free world has
ceased to fight Communism."

Like being an engineer anywhere else, you're saying.
Well . . yes, and no.
Procter & Gamble is a remarkably stable company, and
technical employment just doesn't fluctuate. P&G engineers
don't worry about shutdowns or layoffs.
And P&G puts more than a little emphasis on the creative
aspects of engineering-the solving of problems by men
encouraged to use their own initiative to "find a different
wav." P&G takes snecial care of nts lewenineers tnn
a project in the area that interests him most.
Projects of considerable responsibility are assigned each in-
dividual early in his career, and, .ssisted by planned per-
sonal coaching at first, it is rot unusual for an engineer
after six months to be responsible for the design and de-
velopment of equipment in the million dollar range.
This strong beginning leads to advancement in 4 relatively
short time, and our engineers tell us it is invaluable.
It is invaluable to the Comoanv.o nn. and mnstneea
