Seek Pledge,
Of Citizens
WASHINGTON (P)-An organ-
ised anti-inflation campaign basedl
on .millions of pledges to work
harder and save more was kicked
off yesterday with the blessings of
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Vice-President Richrard M.
Nixon.
Eisenhower also asked that citi-
zens showed Congress with mil-
lions of appeals to keep the dollar
sound.
Both men addressed a one-day
session of representatives of 48
national organizations called to
seek means of promoting economic
growth and holding down the cost
of living.
To Obtain Pledges
After they had endorsed the
principles of the meeting, the chief
sponsor, H. Bruce Palmer of New-
ark, N. J., told reporters a feature
of the drive would be an effort to
obtain 10 to 15 million individual
pledges.
Signers would promise to work
productively, buy carefully, save
money and support "sound fiscal
policies," which Palmer did not
spen out.
Addressing the breakfast session,
Eisenhower said only public opin-
ion can keep the dollar sound and
urged it be exerted through mil-
lions of messages to Congressmen
and federal officials. And he de-
clared that if public opinion fails,
economic dictatorship is the alter-
native.
Places Responsibility
He discounted the idea that the
government or any particular eco-
nomic group is principally respon-
sible for inflationary trends and
said:t
"Since there are many factors
that are common to an economy-
and if they are not operated and
devised correctly will, ruin us-.
then public opinion must do it,
which means. self-discipline must
do it.
"Otherwise, you will have control
by government and imposed disci-
pline. In the long run, no matter
how you cut it, imposed discipline
is dictatorship."
Discussing means by which pub-
lic opinion can make itself felt,
Eisenhower said:
"I for one hope that you will
not forget what telegrams, letters
and phone calls coming in by the
millions can do to help the Con-
gress, and the President and the
entire organization he heads.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (M;
The United Nations Political Com-
mittee late yesterday voted unani-
mously to refer the Soviet total
disarmament plan and other arms
proposals to the forthcoming East-
West arms parley in Geneva.
The result had been anticipated
since the resolution before the
82-nation committee had been
sponsored by all of the 82 mem-
bers. This was the first time a
proposal had ever had such broad
sponsorship in the United Nations.
Despite the fact that the com-
mittee referred all disarmament
proposals to the 10-nation body
which will begin arms talks in
Geneva early next year, the Rus-
sians indicated they expected the
Sept. 18 proposals of Premier Ni-
kita S. Khrushchev to get top
priority.
Take Soviet Plan as Basis
just before the vote, Deputy
Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuznet-
sov declared the Khrushchev plan
should be taken as a basis for the
Geneva negotiations.
G United States delegate Henry
Cabot Lodge replied that the reso-
lution clearly intended that all
proposals wo'ibd be placed before
the 10-nation committee for con-
sideration.
He pointed out that the United
States is now reviewing the whole
disarmament problem and may
have some proposals of its own.
Kuznetsov said that the Soviet
Union, "a mighty world power,"
was supported in its stand by the
great camp of socialist (Commun-
ist) states." He described the Com-
munist states as the most persist-
ent advocates of peace.
Lodge commented that the
United states was prepared to
match its record for wanting peace
with any nation in the world-a
record he said was underlined by
the "giving of our treasure and
the giving of our blood."
All 82 United Nations members
had joined in sponsoring the reso-
lution, which was worked out in a
rare display of accommodation by
both the United States and the
Soviet Union. It must be approved
also by the General Assembly, but
this was regarded as a mere for-
mality.
Call Prospects Good
Most speakers in the debate said
the accord here enhanced pros-
pects that the 10-nation East-West
conference will make progress
when it meets in Geneva early
next year.
The political committee will take
up tomorrow France's plans to
hold atomic tests in the Sahara
Desert. Morocco asked the assem-
bly to consider the question. Arab
and African delegations were in
conference during the day on what
kind of resolution to offer for
committee debate.
France will stress that all possi-
ble safety precautions will be
taken in connection with the tests,
Morocco and its supporters claim
that mere announcement of the
tests caused panic among man"
Africans.
Says France
Has A-Bomb
UNITED NATIONS - France is
reported to have completed its
first atomic bomb some time agc
-- a weapon larger than the ones
dropped on Japan in 1945 but
much smaller than some of today's
powerful H-bombs..
Authoritative sources said last
night the weapon was ready for
its test explosion mnoths ago, but
that the tests had been delayed by
the complicated task of preparing
an experimental station in the
heart of the Sahara Desert.

YELLOW SPRINGS, O. -- An-
tioch College's administration will
hold in escrow '$12,719 in loan
funds for students received last
week under the National Defense
Education Act until Congress re-
peals the loyalty oath and dis-
claimer clause which the college
has cited as "vague" and a "threat
to academic freedom," according
to the Antioch College Record.
The controversial provision re-
quires a student applying for a
loan to assert that he "does not
believe in, and is not a member of
and does not support any organi-
zation that believes in or teaches
the overthrow of the United States
government by force or. violence
or by any illegal or unconstitu-
tional methods."
In a letter to the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,
President Dixon said Antioch has
accepted the money and is holding
it in a special account until the
disclaimer provision is eliminated.
He added that if Congress does
not remove the provision this year
the money will be returned.
After, the bill was passed on
September 2, 1958, colleges, edu-
cators and educational organiza-
tions including USNSA denounced
the oath and disclaimer as a blow
to academic freedom. USNSA's Na-
tional Executive Committee con-
demned the provision
Antioch's former President
Gould denounced the provision last
spring, along with over a dozen
other college presidents. Gould
commented that the provision re-
quired all students taking loans
under the Act to swear that they
are not members of a subversive
organization without any defini-
tion of subversive groups having
been made,
Africans.
Stage Riots
After Speech
LEOPOLDVILLE, Belgian Con-
go (p) - Official reports from
Stanleyville yesterday said 26 Af-
ricans were killed and 100 injured
when troops fired on crowds of
rioters there Friday night.
Authorities feared more bodies
may be found.
A European man and woman
have been arrested on charges
that 'they sheltered African Na-
tionalist leader Patrice Lumumba
who touched off the riots with a
speech demanding immediate in-
dependence for the Belgian Congo.
Accused of Treason
The Europeans, a Greek hotel
owner and a woman bartender,
are accused of hiding Lumumba
and teaching him revolutionary
techniques. Lumumba also was ar-
rested.
The whole Stanleyville area
erupted after a political rally of
about 3,000 Africans gathered to
hear Lumumba speak. He reject-
ed the Belgian-organized elections
to be held in December next year
atia demanded immediate inde-
pendence.
The Africans then turned on
police with spears and arrows and
cries of "Get the white man."
Rush to Area
Troopsi rushed to the ai'ea to
rescue isolated European settlers
besieged by crowds pf Africans.
At one place a plane spotted an
SOS sign marked with bed sheets.
At another army units arrived
just in time to disperse a scream-
ing mob attacking a missionary
convent.

PULLMAN - Two Washington
State University professors' pro-
test of the state's loyalty oath
requirement won Supreme Court
consideration last week.
The court has agreed to hear
arguments on the constitutionality
of the law, which requires state
employes to swear that they have
never had Communist connections
or face dismissal.
Professors Howard L. Nostrand
and Max Savelle protested that
under the state's 1955 statute an
employee who refused to sign the
oath was "subject to immediate
discharge without an opportunity
to be heard."
The Washington law is a revi-,
sion of a 1951 statute. As amended,
It requires state employees to
swear that they have never been
membersof the Communist party
or any organization listed as sub-
vdrsive by the Attorney General.
Refusal to take the oath means
dismissal without a hearing.
NEW YORK - Six staff mem-
bers of Columbia University's cam-
pus magazine The Columbia Re-
view have resigned their positions
in order to organize and staff a
new publication, tentatively chris-
tened The Metropolitan Review,
according to a recent issue of the
Daily Spectator. The six include
Sam D. Reifier, former editor of
the Columbia Review, and Na-
thaniel Reichek, former managing
editor.
L The departing staff members
emphasized that there had been
no disagreement with the remain-
ing staff or with any University
policy. The step was taken, they
said, so that they could devote
their time to instituting The Met-
ropolitan Review which they hope
will be distributed to college stu-
dents in the entire New York city
area.
They plan to apply for a charter
as a non-profit publishing corpora-
tion administered by Reichek.
Reifler, who is taking a leave of
absence from the College in order
to write, will also contribute to
the Review.
The editors pointed out that
the Metropolitan Review would of-
fer them an opportunity to par-
ticipate for more than four years
and to work with others besides
Columbia undergraduates. The
planned magazine will draw most
of its talent from Columbia at
first, however.
Columbia's associate dean Ed-
ward J. Malloy commented that
he was "sympathetic" to the stu-
dents who resigned and wished
them good fortune with The Met-
ropolitan Review.

THE YOUNG DEMOCRAT CLUB
made a major breakthrough in the
fight against muscular dystrophy,
a cruel, crippling disease that
strikes young and old alike.
Three doctors of the Royal Vic-
toria Infirmary report they have
succeeded in keeping fragments of
dystrophic human muscle alive for
three weeks in a special chemical
nutrient.
"We want people with the di-
sease to realize that we are just
in the experimental stage," said
a spokesman for the doctors. "It
will take some time before we
come within sight of being able to
restore normal growth of muscle.
"But we are very encouraged.
The experiment has made it possi-
ble to study the whole life history
of a dystrophic muscle."
Muscular dystrophy may be he-
reditary, medical science believes.
