Reports on Results of Bermuda
Conference with Congress Leaders
WASHINGTON (A)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower was reported
to have discussed with Democratic and Republican congressional lead-
ers yesterday'the possible assignment of United States guided missiles
to France.
That word came from Sen. Thomas C. Hennings (D-Mo.), one of
a sizable group invited to the White House from the Capitol to hear
President Eisenhower report on his Bermuda conference with Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan of Great Britain.
One of the major announced results of the conference was an
Anglo-American "agreement in principle" that "certain guided missiles
will be made available by the Unittd States for use by British forces."
Our Custody"
Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH) and others at the White House
meeting said they were reassured that any atomic warheads for missiles
Six European'
Nations Form
Giant Union
Common Market,
Atom Pool Created
ROME M-)-Six nations of tired
1 old Europe linked themselves yes-
terday in a giant economic union
which could be the first step to-
wards a United States of Europe.
Under the blazing arc lights of
television cameras and in a fog
of swirling cigarette smoke,
statesmen of the six nations signed
their names on the treaties for a
European common market and the
Euratom atomic energy pool
160 Million Consumers
The governments of Italy,
France, Western Germany Bel-
gium, Holland and Luxembourg
pledged themselves to build a
common trade area of 160 million'
consumers..
The treaties so far are only a
pledge. They still have to be rati-
fied by the governments of the
six nations. Some diplomats still
wonder whether France may back
out at the last minute, as she did
on the ill-fated plan to build a
West European army.
Experts figure it will take 12 to
17 years to readjust national econ-
omies enough to put the treaties
into effect.
Informal
It was a -highly informal cere-
mony, with the delegates joking
among themselves and obviously
in high spirits.
An Italian diplomatic source
said Belgian Foreign Minister
Paul-Henri Spaak had been
sounded out on whether he would
accept temporary presidency of
the new European common mar-
ket committee.
But Spaak declined, this source
said, 'because he will soon begin
his new duties as secretary gen-
eral of NATO.
History Making
Signing the nearly 100 copies cf
the two pacts in German, French,
Dutch and Italian were Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer of West Ger-
many, and Foreign Ministers
Christian Pineau of France, Gae-
tano Martino of Italy, Paul-Henri
Spaak of Belgium, Joseph Luns of
the Netherlands and Joseph Bech
of Luxembourg.
If the two history-making trea-
ties are brought into effect they
would:
1. Tear down customs barriers
and trade quotas from the North
Sea to the Adriatic.
2. Permit freeexchange of la-
bor, capital and goods among the
six nations.
3. Set these nations apart as a
new bloc, with a single tariff on
goods from outside, forming an
economic union that could com-
pete with the world's big powers.
4. Pool the six nationa' resources
for development of peacetime
atomic energy.

Visits Here
Democratic Regent candidate
Carl Brablec visited the Univer-
sity yesterday to tour campus and
sent to Britain would "remain in
our custody."
Sen. Hennings said the question
of giving France the same oppor-
tunity of getting missiles came up
yesterday. Several said they got
the impression President Eisen-
hower and Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles felt it might be em-
barrassing to treat France any
differently from Britain.
It remained to be seen, however,
when the United States might be
able to deploy intermediate range
ballistic missiles -- IRBM - to
Britain, France or anywhere else.
Following the Bermuda an-
nouncement, P. Pentagon spokes-
man said "we, have a lot to do

quoted London circles "well in-

millan talks" as being corvinced

experts estimated it would be a

put into operation even by forces
in the "Ufnited States.
No Secret Agreements
Bridges and others said Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Sec. Dulles
emphasized there- were no ~ecret
agreements reached at Bermuda.
Sen. Bridges quoted President
Eisenhower as saying he got
"greater satisfaction" out of the
talks with Macmillan than he de-
rived from any other international
conference he has attended.
Asket whether the President in-
dicated that differences with Bri-
tain have been patched up-there
was deep unhappiness on both
sides during and after the British-
French and Israeli attack on
Egypt-Sen. Bridges replied:
"He did. He indicated he didn't
discuss past issues in any detail
at Bermuda."
COLLINS:
Proposal
Reactions
Favorable
By VERNON NAHRGANG
A check of Student Government
Council members who could be
reached yesterday showed no op-
position to a proposal by President
Joe Collins, '58, that SGC add a
fourth officer to its executive
committee.
Several Council members, how-
ever, had "reservations" about the
move or had not reached a final
decision.
SGC Vice-President J a n e t
Neary, '58, favored having an ad-
ministrative vice-president who
would coordinate committee work,
but was unsure about finding ade-
quate personnel among Adminis-
trative Wing members to relieve
council members of committee
chairmanships.
"Try It Out"
Pointing out that the fourth of-
ficer had been discussed before,
Miss Neary said, "we can afford to
try it out."
The proposal, to go before SGC
tomorrow, would add the admin-
istrative vice-president to the
present three officers. Election c
officers for the coming half-year
will be held Friday.
SGC member Maynard Gold-
man, '59, approved the proposal,
noting it would "add incentive to
the wing and build leadership to
run the Council."
However, he said, "to find four
people to fill the offices won't be
an easy job."
Goldman, along with Collins,
stressed the importance of releas-
ing Council members from com-
mittee and purely administrative
work, and giving them more time
to work in policy areas.
"Worth Trying"
Other SGC members were al-
most unanimous in saying the
proposal for a fourth officer was
"worth trying".
Only objections were that pres-
ent officers should be able to
handle the work load, that four
officers would make the council
(18 members: 7 ex-officio and 11
elected) top-heavy with officers,
and that Council members might
find themselves too distant from
the committees' work.
But it was also noted that com-
mittee chairmen from the Admin-
istrative Wing might also sit in
on Council meetings, keeping the
chain of information tight and
adding four non-voting members
to the Council.
Tug Salvaged
From Canal
CAIRO(P) - The tug-Edgar
Bonnet was lifted from its muddy
bed in the Suez Canal yesterday,
opening the prospect of early pas-
sage of ships of up to 20,000 tons
through the waterway.
It has been blocked by war ac-
tion since early November.
United Nations Secretary Gen-
eral Dag Hammarskjold flew to
the Suez Canal Zone to witness
the lifting operation by UN sal-
vage crews, and then returned to
Cairo for his third and probably
last conference with Egyptian
President Gamal Abdul Nasser. He
came here last week to explore
Middle East deadlocks.

ON SEGREGATION:
High Court Deals
Blow to Virginia
WASHINGTON OP)-The Supreme Court yesterday dealt a blow
to Virginia's policy of "massive resistance" to racial integration in its
public schools.
With a minimum of words, the court rejected 8-0 Virginia's
appeals from orders of lower federal courts enjoining enforcement of
racial segregation in Charlottesville and Arlington County.
Treating the appeals as routinely as possible, the court grouped
them with 23 others in its list of orders and merely said as to all
of them: "The petitions for writs of certiorari in these cases are
severally denied."
Across The Ptomac
Charlottesville, in the central part of the state, is the seat of the
University of Virginia. Arlington County, just across the Ptomac River
from Washington, is populated
heavily by government workers
and service personnel.
The court emphasized again its
policy of giving lower courts wide
discretion about desegregation
"with all deliberate speed," as or-
dered in May 1955.
It did so by refusing to review
orders of lower courts denying im-
mediate admission of Negro child-
ren in Old Fort, N. C., to a white
school.
Almond Appeals
Atty. Gen. J. Lindsay Almond,
now a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination of goverl'or of
Virginia, carried the Charlottes-
ville and Arlington appeals to the
Supreme Court.
In both cases the United States
Court of Appeals for the 4th Cir-
cuit Maryland, Virginia, the Caro-
linas and West Virginia affirmed
orders of district judges directing
the ending of segregation.
Judge Albert V. Bryan ordered
Arlington elementary schools de-
segregated as of last Jan. 31 and
high schools by next September.
Judge John Paul ordered Char-
lottesville schools desegregated as
of last September. Both these or-
ders have been held in abeyance
pending the exhaustion of appeals
procedures.
Twenty-Five Days
Virginia now has 25 days in
which to petition the Supreme
Court to reconsider yesterday's re-
fusal to review the two cases.
Ultimately they will have to go
back to the district judges for
them to set new deadlines.
Almond questioned, among other
things, the power of a federal dis-
trict court to enjoin a local school
board, an agency of Virginia, with-
out the state's consent to be sued.
He also contended the Negro
pupils had not exhausted state
administrative remedies before go-
ing to federal courts, and said
Judges Bryan and Paul abused
their discretion.

Beck Arrves
For Senate
Investigation,
WASHINGTON WP)-Boss Dave
Beck of the Teamsters Union ap-
parently arrived in the capital
yesterday and went into seclusion
until today when he finally is to
face investigating senators.
Beck kept his whereabouts a
mystery but Sen. John L. McClel-
lan (D-Ark) said 'he received a
messenger-delivered note "from
Beck himself" indicating Beck was
already in town and ready for
quizzing today.
Sen. McClellan declined to dis-
close contents of the note, but said
he expects to make it public in the
morning when Beck takes the wit-
ness stand to face questions on his
own and his union's large-scale fi-
nancial tangles.
Sen. McClellan heads the Senate
select committee investigating im-
proper labor-management activi-
ties. It already has dug up evi-
dence 'of $270,000 paid by Beck to
West Coast Teamsters Union units
beginning in 1954 after the in-
come tax collector started studying
Beck's personal fortunes.
