Chou Demands Quick Settlement
At Bandung Over Israeli Question
BANDUNG, Indonesia-(A)-Red China yesterday wooed the sol-
idly anti-Communist Moslem countries of the Middle East by taking
the side of the Arab states against Israel.
The Arabs are represented and Israel is not at the 29-nation
Asian-African conference that opened here Monday.
Red China's Premier Chou En-lai played his political cards skill-
fully in the role he apparently has assumed of being everybody's friend
at the conference. He joined seven Arab countries at the conference's

Panel Finds
Freedoms
Interrelated
By LEW HAMBURGER
"Academic freedom is not sy-
nonymous with political freedom,
but is a small segment of an in-
finitely larger sphere."
This thesis was developed by a
panel composed of Pat Roelofs, '55,
Daily Associate City Editor; Steve
Jelin, '55, former Student Legis-
lature president; Mike Sharpe,
Grad., president of the Labor
Youth League, and Ned Simon, '55,
also former president of SL.
The panel discussed the rela-
tion of political and academic
freedom last night in conjunction
with Academic Freedom Week ac-
tivities.
Group Agrees
The group agreed that academic
freedom was definitely related to
political freedom, but the rela-
tionship was that of a part to the
whole.
Miss Roelofs began the proceed-
ings, maintaining that we "must
be hospitable to an infinite var-
iety of ideas. The responsibility
of teachers is one of academic
competence. Anyone who does not
try to indoctrinate students with
political bias should be allowed to
teach."
Jelin agreed, basically, but op-
posed the methodology of the
Communist movement in the po-
litical realm. The Communists, he
r contended would deny us the
freedom for which they now
clamor, if they were to gain con-
trol.
"Conspiritorial Communists will
not accept the ground rules of
freedom," he said.
He added in the question period
following the discussion however,
that he couldn't oppose Com-
munists gaining their ends
through democratic means.
Sharpe was the third speaker,
and began immediately by attack-
ing the histeria and red-baiting
which has swept the country aft-
er the introduction of McCarthy-
ism.
Book Cited
He cited Harvey Matusow's re-
cent book, "False Witness" as ex-
tremely significant in the field of
political freedom. Matusow was
an informer in several trials of ac-
cused subversives.
He said there was a danger also
from false interpretations of ideas
and philosophies. There is pre-
velent today a great deal of pre-
determined opinion on some phil-
osophies, especially the Marxian
i dialetic. .
Simon was the final speaker on
the program, saying that Com-
munism is a "subversive, conspiri-
torial, revolutionary movement."
He condemned the violent meth-
ods of the Communists, and cited
the 'coups' in Czechoslovakia, and
China, and pointed to American
Communist Howard Fast as one
who "really makes a conservative
r out of a person."

Project Hits
Senate Snag
Action Delayed
By Rep. Richards
WASHINGTON (;P) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's new 3%l
billion dollar foreign aid program,
a "save Asia" project, ran into a
legislative snarl yesterday a few
hours after the message outlining
it reached Congress.
Chairman J. P. Richards (D-
S.C.) of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee announced that, con-
trary to custom, he is planning to
postpone final committee action
on the authorization bill until the
full Senate has voted on it.
Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.)
chairman of the- Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, said he ex-
pected the House to act first.
Help Asian Countries
Most of the money requested by
the President is to help free Asian
countries stand firm against Com-
munism.
Conditions in Europe are great-
ly improved, President Eisenhow-
er said in his message. He point-
ed to the creation of defense
forces that "now constitute a sig-
nificant deterrent to aggression."
"The immediate threats to
world security and stability are
now centered in Asia," he said.
"The preponderance of funds re-
quested of the Congress will be
used to meet the threat there."
Delay Action
Rep. Richards told a news con-
ference he planned to delay ac-
tion on the program because he
had heard from unnamed "influ-
ential" senators there is "grave
doubt that the Senate will vote for
any economic aid this year."
The President's program for the
year beginning July 1 includes
$1,717,500,000 for direct military
and associated assistance and
812% million for other purposes,
largely economic.
Foreign Aid. Director Harold E.
Stassen said last month that
$2,140,500,000, or about two-thirds
of the total, would be set aside for
15 Asian nations.

He anticipated no difficulty set-

University President Harlan H.

SGC President Hank Berliner,

points to University readiness to
study the driving problem and full
cooperation in studying the pres-
