President's
Referee Plan
Considered
House Passes, Kills
Democratic Substitute
WASHINGTON (P)-The House
yesterday first adopted and then
killed a Democratic substitute for
the voting referee plan proposed
by the Eisenhower Administration
in civil rights legislation.
It was an unusual display of
free-wheeling parliamentary foot-
work, much of it by Southerners
trying to drive a wedge between
the Republicans and the Northern
and Western Democrats pushing
the legislation.
A showdown vote on the referee
plan was put off until today.
Approve Substitute
First the House voted 152-128 to
substitute for the Eisenhower ref-
eree plan a proposal that has been
offered the Senate by Sen. Thomas
C. Hennings, Jr. (D-Mo)-.
The Senator would help Negroes
vote in the South through enroll-
ing officers appointed by the Presi-
dent rather than by referees ap-
pointed by the courts.
In a strange-bedfellow sort of
arrangement, House members
from the South voted for the Hen-
nings substitute along with mem-
bers who describe themselves as
liberals keenly desirous of new
civil rights laws.
Pass Hennings Plan
After the substitute was ap-
proved 152-128, the rare combina-
tion held together again and
nailed down, in a procedural vote
of 179-116, the adoption of the
Hennings plan.t
Then came a test in which1
members could vote for the Hen-
nings plan or for leaving the
original bill before the House. Thist
time the Southerners switched andt
the Hennings proposal was dis-
carded 195-155, leaving the House
with nothing before it but the
original bill.
However, it was still possible to
restore the voting referee plant
piece by piece and Rep. WilliamV
M. McCulloch (R-Ohio) set out to
do just that when the House t
meets today.t
The Hennings plan was offeredd
in the House by Rep. Robert W.
Kastenmeer (D - Wis.). Earlieru
yesterday, Rep. George Meadern
(R-Mich.) offered a plan calling1
for the use of court officers calledn
masters who would represent thep
courts. He lost 138-95.v

IKE, ADENAUER TALK:
Back west Berlin Freedom
WASHINGTON W)-President
Dwight D. Eisenhower and West
German Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer jointly pledged yesterday to
uphold the right of West Berliners
to decide their own future in con-
tinued freedom.
The two leaders publicly pro-
claimed this to be the foundation
of their negotiating position for
May's Summit talks which will
seek to determine the fate of the
city.
At the same time, they served
notice their governments would
press forward with a drive to unite
West and East Germany into a
single, democratic nation.
Eisenhower and Adenauer set
forth their goals after a White
House strategy meeting which
lasted an hour and 45 minutes.
The 84-year-old German chan-
cellor, a smile on his face, told
newsmen afterward he is now
satisfied his Western allies will
stand firm in the face of Soviet
demands they pull out of West
Berlin.
Authorities said Eisenhower suc-
ceeded in assuring Adenauer he
would not make with Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev any deal
which would jeopardize the free-
COLLEGE ROUNDUP:
Cambodians Make Plans
To Open First University
CAMBODIA - The first Cam-
bodian university, the Khmer
Royal University, is taking shape
with the opening recently of a
College of Science and a College
of Literature and Art.
The classes of the latter are
temporarily housed in the Insti-
tute of Pedagogics, which together
with the College of Law and Medi-
cine was established before 1956.
The University has an enroll-
ment of 500 students.
* * *
CANADA--Public collections are
being made at present throughout
Canada by students.
One thousand students of the
University of Montreal recently
collected $110,000 for the student
loan fund.
In Toronto, 3,000 students went
from door to door and have;
brought in a total of $8 million up
to now.
The goal of this project has been
set at $18 million. This money is to
pay for the most urgently needed
additional buildings at the Uni-
versity of Toronto.
In a recent speech, the Dean of
the Faculty of Sciences of the Uni-
versity of Ottawa urged the coun-
try's industrialists and merchants
to place a certain percentage of
their receipts at the university's
disposal every year.
"The increase of enrollment fig-
ures," he said, "the urgency for
meeting the demand for buildings,
libraries, and laboratories, and the
need of increasing the number of
professors show how badly the uni-
versities need your dollars (and
cents)."
ENGLAND-There are likely to
be 170,000 university entrants by
1968.
This was the figure quoted in
London by Birmingham University{
lecturer H. Maddick at the half-
yearly meeting of the Association
of University Teachers. A contin-
ued increase in the birth rate
aised the number over the Associ-
ation's previous estimate of 145,-
000.
Maddick was moving a progress

FRANCE - A colloquy on the
subject "Education and Health"
was sponsored by the French Stu-
dent Social Welfare Commission
(Mutuelle mationale des 6tudiants
de France) in January in the'
UNESCO Building in Paris.
The moderator of the colloquy,
Prof. Debre, said tuberculosis may
be in the act of disappearing to-
day but that in its place there are
much more serious dangers threat-
ening the psychic equilibrium,
nerves and morals of the school
child and later student.
Three reasons may be given for
this:
1) Excessive schoolwork, caused
by bad work planning and Insuffi-
cient sleep;
2) The living condition of the
student, who is often faced with i
great material difficulties;
3) The fear of the problem of
adjusting to the social life of the
country.
In the coming months, work
groups will investigate these and
other problems (among them the1
question of student housing) and
submit the results to the congress1
of the Student Social WelfareI
Commission in Lyon.I
The Student Social WelfareI
Commission wants to draw the
public's attention to the fact that i
one-third of the students suffer
from psychic disorders which are6
to be traced back to influencese
during their school years.
KOREA -- The Korean World
University Service Committee has t
made plans for the formal openinge
of a third WUS hostel in Seoul.c
A second WUS hostel, whicht
provides accommodation for 1007
men students, was completed byt
the Korean Committee last Spring.
Students are housed two to a
room, a minimal rental fee is
charged, and inexpensive meals
are served in the cafeteria. An-
other WUS hostel has been reno-
vated and will now provide ac-
commodation for 40 women
students.
The three WUS hostels make a
significant contribution toward
meeting the lodging needs of stu-
dents in Seoul, particularly since
the great majority of the uni-
versities and colleges in the city
do not have dormitory facilities
available.
your
dom of West Berlin or imperil the
goal of eventual German unity.
Adenauer came to the meeting
worried that Eisenhower might in
some way weaken these principles,
perhaps under British pressure to
find an acceptable tension-easing
compromise.
Eisenhower invited his distin-
guished visitor back to the White
House for a big luncheon in Ade-
nauer's honor, a few minutes after
their closed-door conference.
Authorities familiar with the
Eisenhower - Adenauer conference
reported ;he German leader found
the President fully aware of the
deep concern in West Germany
over Berlin's future.
In line with his public pro-
nouncement, Adenauer stressed a
no-concession approach on Berlin
and Germany as the West's only
hope of forcing the Soviets to
become more reasonable. Eisen-
hower promised, these informants
said, to pursue an exceedingly
cautious strategy in negotiating
about Berlin and to double-check
any Soviet proposals with Ade-
nauer.
"I'm highly satisfied," Adenauer
told reporters. "The whole atmos-
phere and mood was good. I hope
the President is as satiscfied as I
am."
The joint statement reported the
two men also covered the current
East-West disarmament deadlock,
the outlook for East-West talks
generally and European economic
problems as well as the future of
Berlin and Germany.
Employment
Increasing
WASHINGTON (A) - The gov-
ernment yesterday reported im-
pressive employment gains in
February.
This was interpreted by officials
as denoting continued economic
improvement.
Employment, usually steady in
February, rose by 500,000 to 64,-'
520,000. This was a record for the°
month and totaled 1800,000 more
than a year ago. The old February
record, set in 1957, was 63,190,000.
Unemployment, which generally
increases in February due to the
severe weather, declined by 218,000t
to 3,931,000. This is 800,000 lesst
than in the same month last year.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of!
Labor Seymour Wolfbein said he1
looked for continuing steady job
gains in the months ahead, al-
though March data may be af-
fected to some extent by the late
winter snows.
"I feel we are definitely going to
get continuing improvement in the
economic situation generally, and
in the employment field particu-
larly" Wolfbein said.
The seasonally adjusted ratio of
unemployed to the work force,
counted at 68,449,000 last month,
declined from 5.2 per cent in Jan-
uary to 4.8 per cent in February.
This was the lowest ratio since
October 1957.
Stop Negro
'S itdowns'
In Atlanta
By The Associated Press
ATLANTA-Negro college stu-
dents staged widespread sitdown
demonstrations yesterday in At-
lanta and police quickly followed
with wholesale arrests under a
new state law.
Gov. Ernest Vandiver, confined
to the executive mansion with a
neck ailment, dictated a state-
ment that the state will provide
any forces needed to preserve
order.
Within an hour after the 150
to 200 students from several Ne-
gro colleges marched into eating
places throughout the downtown
area officers herded them into
patrol wagons and hauled them
away for booking.
Invoke New Law
The new state law, enacted by
the Legislature only last month
as a direct result of sitdowns in
the Carolinas, Virginia and Flor-
ida, provides up to 18 months in
prison and a $1,000 fine for any-
one who refuses a request to leave
a privately operated business.
The Negroes, however, didn't
confine their activities to private
business houses. A group went to
the cafeteria at the capitol, oper-
ated under lease to a private indi-
vidual. State patrolmen arrested
six, including four ministerial stu-
dents and two young women.
At the Fulton County court-
house, 12 demonstrators were ar-
rested. Eight were taken into cus-
tody at the Greyhound bus term-
inal and several others at Union
Railway Station.
Attract No Attention
The dozen or more police cars
and the patrol wagons attracted
little attention in downtown At-
lanta from passersby. Most per-
sons went their way with just a
glance.
The students were from More-
house, Clark, Spelman and Morris
Brown Colleges, Atlanta Univer-
sity and the Interdenominational
Theological College.
In Orangeburg, South Carolina
police arrested about 400 Negroes,
mostly college students, after fire
hoses were used in quelling a
demonstration against segrega-
tion at store lunch counters.
The hoses were ordered turned
on the demonstrators after groups
of 100 or more young Negro men
and women converged on the
downtown section about noon.
No violence was reported.
Refuse Demands
After the hoses had been turned
off, police asked the leaders to
step forward and for the remain-
der to disperse. Arrests began
after the demonstrators refused
both demands.
Officers said those arrested,
many of them drenched, would be
charged with breach of the peace
or with disorderly conduct.
The arrests came less than a
week after Gov. Ernest F. Hollings
had warned that Negro demon-
strations would not be tolerated.
in South Carolina.
Meanwhile, demonstrations
broke out anew at Columbia,
Sumter and Rock Hill.
WASHINGTON EP)- President
Eisenhower will ask Congress for
power to slash Cuba's bonus price
sugar sales to the United States,
if he decides such action would be
in the national interest.
1 Republican Conugressional lead-
sers told newsmen of this yesterday
after a White House Conference.
They said Eisenhower's request for
discretionary authority to raise or
lower sugar import quotas is not
intended to punish Cuba. 'The po-
posed powers would apply to other
sugar-producing countries, too.
Relations Deteriorate
However, the Administration's
move is being made against a
background of deteriorating rela-
tions between the United States
and Cuba's Castro regime.
It is virtually certain to bring
new attacks on this country from
the Havana government, which
has accused the United States of
trying to exploit it.
Any substantial cut in Cuba's
sugar quota would hurt that one-
crop industry, which sells about
half itsannual sugar output to
the United States at prices 2 to
3 cents a pound above the world'
market level. The present arrange-7
ment gives Cuba a sugar subsidy'
of about 150 million dollars a
year.
Riot Erupts'
Following
Korean Vote
SEOUL 4P)-Seven to 10 persons
were reported killed and more
than 50 injured yesterday in a
riotous aftermath to elections ex-
pected to hand President Syngman
Rhee a fourth term.
Rioting and demonstrations by
Koreans charging election frauds
erupted in four cities.
The opposition Democrats an-
grily accused the Liberals of rig-
ging the vote for the 84-year-old
Rhee who needed only to beat a
dead man by getting the approval
of one-third of the registered
voters.
The election appeared to have
been the most violent in the his-
tory of this nation of 23 million
since it was created in 1948.
First unofficial returns from 10
of the 8,108 districts early yester-
day gave Rhee 224,980 votes. In-
valid votes were not reported.
Rhee's hand - picked running
mate for vice-president, Lee Ki-
Poong, was ahead of the Demo-
crats' choice, Vice-President John
M. Chang, 174,162 to 119,601, in
the same districts.
The Democrats own presidential
candidate, Chough Pyong-Pk, died
after a stomach operation in
Washington a month ago, too late
to be replaced on the ballot.
The Democrats focused on pre-
venting Rhee from getting one-
third of the 11,196,000 registered
voters in order to force him into a
new election against a live oppon-
ent.
