Sefnate-House Feud
Stalls NDEA Action
Collegiate Press Service
WASHINGTON-The National Defense Education Act is in seri-
ous trouble in Congress.
The NDEA bill, providiing loans for college students, was sent
to the House Rules Committee last week where it could lie dormant
through the end of the current congressional session.'
The action centered around a growing feud between the House
and Senate Higher Education Subcommittees.
The Senate earlier approved an extension of the NDEA, includ-
ing an additional $35 million a year more than the current $90 million
-annual amount for student loans.

iff erences
in Bills Cited
The Senate passed a college
academic facilities bill this 'deek
s and requested a conference with
the House to resolve the differ-
ences between its bill and a sim-
filar House-approved measure.
The bill, passing by a vote of
60-19, had three essential differ-
ences from the plan approved in
the House.
First, the Senate bill gives any
taxpayer the right to bring suit
against the United States Com-,
missioner of Education to halt the
making of a loan or grant to an
institution. Such a suit could be
brought on the grounds that a
loan or grant is unconstitutional
if they violate the First or any
other Amendment to the Consti-
tution. The House bill does not
contain'any such measure.
Specific Grants
Second, the Senate bill provides
loans and matching grants for
construction of undergraduate
academic facilities only for the
natural sciences, engineering, and
libraries,, while the House bill
places no restrictions on loans and
grants.3
Finally, the Senate authorizes a
total of $1.9 billion for a five-
year program. The House bill
authorizes $1.2 billion for the first
three years of a five-year program.
Expenditure Rates
However, the rates of expendi-
ture for the House and "Senate
would be the same in 'both bills.
For undergraduate facilities they
would spend $230 million a year
for grants and $120 million a year
for loans.
About $251million for the first
year and $60'million a year for the
following two years would be spent
on graduate schools and coopera-
tive graduate centers.

Education Subcommittee partici-
pate in the forthcoming confer-
ence.
Berbers Ally
With Algerians
ALGIERS (A)-President Ahmed1
Ben Bella announced yesterday
that the Berber rebels in the
Kabylie mountains have agreed to
join forces with the Algerian gov-
ernment to fight the Moroccans.
In a radio address, Ben Bellal
said the agreement was reached
in secret contacts with the mili-
tary commander of the rebel
forces, %Col. Mohand Ou El Hadj.j
"From now on there is only one
Algeria," he said. "As one man,
we face the threat from feudalism1
and reaction."

The action would give the NDEA
three more years of life instead of
letting it expire next summer.
Ceiling Limit?
A House version of the NDEA
bill would authorize a higher loan
total-$135 million the first year.
Where the Senate limits $800,000
of the program to any one univer-
sity, the House bill eliminates any
ceiling at all. The current limit is
$250,000 to any single school.
But rather than accept the ap-
proved Senate version or attempt
an initial compromise, the House
voted to send its NDEA to the
Rules Committee for further study.
In a statement, the Republican
members of the House Education
Committee attacked their Demo-
cratic colleagues and the Kennedy
administration for stalling action
on the bill.
Genuine Hardship
The GOP members said failure
of Democratic leaders "has creat-
ed genuine hardship for thousands
of college students who have de-
pended upon student loans to fi-
nance their education. The entire
structure of student financial as-
sistance faces a deepening crisis
as the academic year progresses."
Facts included in the GOP poli-
tical attack pointed out that for
the first time since the act be-
gan, the NDEA act is out of money.
"Only 15 states have received all
of their loan requests for this
year: Ain the remainder, the per-:
centage ranges as low as 43.5 per
cent. Eleven states suffered cuts
of from one-third to over one-half
.of their requests.,,
Loans Reduced
"This means that the loans of
thousands of students have had to'
be sharply reduced or denied," the'
statement said.
Because of the fund shortage,
the Republicans predicted there
would be no loan funds available1
during the next college semester
"in any institutions."
Two big reasons for the short-'
ages in NDEA funds are:
--Government officials estimat-
ed 4.4 million are going to college
this semester, compared to 4.2
million last year.
--Since the dropping of the con-
troversial non-Communist affidav-
it attached to the loans, 17 morej
United States colleges joined the
NDEA program this year alone.t
The 17 were among the 32 drop-
ping the program a few years ago
in protest of the affidavit.
Since the NDEA was signed into
law five years ago during the Ei-
senhower administration-on Sept.
2, 1958-$800 million has been
paid out to 700,000 students and
faculty in 8000 schools involved in
the program.
It authorized federal assistance
for student loans, graduate fellow-
ships and other higher education
activities. Borrowers are permitted
to put off repayment until after
graduation.

Wilson Asks
Continuance
Of Session
Douglas-Home Delays
Parliament Opening
LONDON ()-Sir Alec Douglas-
Home's new government-operat-
ing without its leader-fought off
a Laborite assault yesterday end-
ing the stormiest parliamentary
session in seven years.
A 3%-hour House of Commons
battle marked the formal opening
of parliamentary war between La-
borite leader Harold Wilson and
his new political arch-rival, Doug-
las-Home.
Incensed by the government de-
cision to postpone the opening of
the new parliamentary session
until Douglas-Home can get him-
self elected to a Commons seat,
Wilson jeered and taunted the
Conservatives for their inability
to present their new chief imme-
diately.
Member of Neither House
"We now have a leader who is
a member of neither House of Par-
liament," Wilson said.
He accused Douglas-Home of
"wantonly and frivolously" de-
priving the Commons of valuable
debating time.,
What riled the Laborites was
Douglas-Home's decision to put
back the opening of the new ses-
sion from its scheduled date of
Oct. 29 to Nov. 12.,
This will give him time to win
a seat in the Commons in a special
election set for Nov. 7 and then
appear as leader when the new
Parliment reassembles. "I find this
intolerable," Wilson snapped.
Forfeited Right
Through renouncing his titles,
Douglas-Home had forfeited his
right to sit in the House of Lords
and cannot sit in on business of
the Commons until he is elected.
Mounting a double-pronged
thrust simultaneously in the House
of Lords and Commons, a Laborite
motion, in the former called for the
continuance of th6 old session. As
expected, the motion failed.
In Commons the Laborites did
not call for a vote. The result was
a foregone conclusion anyway -
the Conservatives, with their big
voting margin, would have won.
The Conservatives brought in
Selwyn Lloyd, leader of the House,
to take the brunt of the onslaught.
He took it calmly. "The new
prime minister," Lloyd said, "con-'
siders it better that he should be
in his place when the new govern-
ment meets Parliament.1
He said this seems more in the
national interest.
But Wilson gave warning: Be-I
cause of the time wasted, the La-
borites will be in no mood to
cooperate with the Conservativesl
in mapping out debating schedules
in the next session.

year bought nearly $4.5 billion
worth of goods from non-Com-
munist countries, Hodges said, but
the United States share was only
$125 million, less than 3 per cent
of the total.
Hodges, in a speech prepared for
the Houston Sales Association, said
these figures included Soviet Rus-
sia, but not Yugoslavia or the
Communist countries of Asia.
Of the $4.5-billion total, Hodges
said, "about half-$2.2 billion-
were shipments from Japan and
our NATO allies. West Germany's
sales totaled $719 million, Britain's
$369 million, France's $267 million,
Italy's $240 million and Japan's
$166 million.
"Compare this," he said, "with
United States sales of $125 million
out of a gross national product
greater than the combined pro-
ducts of all these countries."
Hodges did not mention the cur-
rent negotiations for the sale of
United States wheat and other
grains to Russia and other Eastern
European nations. f
Meanwhile the Commerce De-
partment issues two more export
licenses yesterday for the ship-
ment of an additional 1,400,000
bushels of corn to Communist
Hungary.
Meanwhile in Russia the first
shipment of Canadian wheat was
unloaded in the Black Sea port of
Odessa, the newspaper Izvestia re-
ported today.
Izvestia said two more Western
ships, the Greek freighter "Mes-
sina" and the Italian "Aurigo
Prima," will be arriving in Odessa
in the next few days with another
50,000 tons of wheat from Canada.
Premier Khrushchev announced
two weeks ago that the Soviet
Union had been forced to buy
wheat in the West because of crop
failures this year.
Debate Delays
PowerPlant
'Construction
Special To The Daily
LANSING-As soon as the Leg-
islature can approve the necessary
resolution, Michigan State Uni-
versity will receive $800,000 to be-
gin its $5-7 million power plant
expansion.
The Legislature approved the
expenditure after much contro-
versy last spring, but withheld
initial funds until an engineering
firm surveyed MSU's power needs
and plans.
The survey was completed this
month and a resolution approving
the project was introduced by
Representatives William R. Cope-
land (D-Wyandotte) and Charles
J. Davis (R-Onondaga). It is now
pending in the House Ways and
Means Committee.
The debate over the extent of
the power project delayed passage
of higher education appropriation
and capital outlay bills as many
legislators felt that the project
was too big for MSU's present or
future needs.

Seferis Wins,
Nobel Prize
STOCKHOLM (RP)-Giorgos Sef-j
eriades, 63-year-old diplomat, won
the 1963 Nobel Prize for Literature
yesterday for his lyrical poetry
about his native Greece.
Seferiades, whose pen name is
Seferis, was the first Greek ever to
receive a Nobel Prize. The award
this year is worth $51,158.
The 18-member Royal Swedish
Literary Academy noted that his
poeticproduction is not volumin-
ous but selected him for his "emi-
nent lyrical writing, inspired by a
deep feeling for the Hellenic world
of culture."
One of his best known poems is
"The King of Asina."
Honor for Greece
Notified of the Academy's deci-
sion, Seferis said in Athens the
prize is an honor for Greece. He
issued a formal statement saying:
"I think that the Swedish Acad-
emy in selecting a Greek poet for
the Nobel Prize had wished to
manifest its solidarity with the liv-
ing spirit of Greece of today. I
mean that Greece for which so
many generations have struggled,
striving to maintain what is still
alive in its long tradition."
The year 1931 marked Seferis'
literary debut-a 42-page collec-
tion of poems-and his first dip-
lomatic assignment, to London.
There he became lastingly influ-
enced by -poet T. S. Eliot. His
latest three-year assignment as
Greek ambassador also was in
London. He returned several
months ago.
Award Citation
The Nobel citation said Seferis'
poetry, "because of its unique
thought and style and its beauty
of language, . . . has become a last-
ing symbol of all that is indestruc-
tible in the Hellenic acceptance of
life."
It added:
"When reading Seferis we are
forcibly reminded of a fact that
is sometimes forgotten: geograph-
ically, Greece is not only a penin-
sula but also a world of water and
a thousand islands, an ancient sea
kingdom, the perilous and stormy
home of the mariner. This Greece
is the constant background of his
poetry, in which it is conjured up
as a vision of harsh and tender
greatness."

and intend to do so," Rusk said
before leaving yesterday. "I hope
all other nations will do the same."
Rusk will attend a regional con-
ference of United States ambassa-
dors today and tomorrow at Bonn,
and then go to Frankfurt to speak

Administration specialists con-
cede that the apparent success of
the current big lift troop operation
might very well affect the deploy-
ment of United States troops
everywhere outside the United
States.
A four-engine transport with 60
soldiers aboard landed at Frank-
furt at 10:05 Wednesday night,
completing a flawless airlift of the
entire U.S. 2nd Armored Division'
from Texas to Europe.
The State Department insists
that Rusk's visits with 'Erhard
and with Foreign Minister Ger-
hardt Schroeder will be essentially
courtesy calls. Authoritative in-
formants said, however, that the

secretary will try to allay V
German fears of an early Un
States troop withdrawal notc
in his private talks with the C
man leaders but also in his pu
address in Frankfurt.
State Department Message

CHRISTIAN WORSHIP
IS DISCUSSED
BY NORTHSIDE PRES
Christian worship Is essen-
tially a review of the theologi-
cal scene in which the Church
was established. This review
simultaneously provides direc-
tion for personal religious ex-
perience within the community
of the redeemed. In worship,
the Church acknowledges God
as thee. all-knowing, - all-power-
ful Creator, perfect in holiness
and goodness. In contrast, the
Church - and the individual
within-confesses its own de-
pendency, imperfection, and
sinfulness. In the next step, the
Church re-affirms the Gospel,
God's provision of Redemption
from the terrible predicament.
Finally, the Church offers itself
to serve God's good purposes,
deeply grateful that God ac-
cepts it, and that God's accept-
ance gives it renewed life.
Is worship an individual or a
corporate concern? Is worship
significant only in terms of
personal religious experience, or
does it have practical value for
the Church in maintaining its
identity as the community of
