Bitain To Build
Bases In Kenya
Air, Sea, Land System To Establish
Midpoint Between 'Home,' Colonies
LONDON (P)-Britain has decided to build up a big new air, land
and sea base system in Kenya as part of her revamped global strategy,
British officials reported yesterday.
This is likely to transform the East African colony, an equatorial
land of 225,000 square miles, into a sort of imperial halfway house
linking the British home islands militarily with its colonies and
commonwealth partners in Asia and the Pacific.
The British decision has been followed by a hush-hush reappraisal
of the project for a new pan-African defense grouping.

A communique on this week

news conference called Russia

s The communique issued simul

mention of Russia.
But it said Saud and King Fai
sal of Iraq pledged to safeguar
the independence of their coun
tries and stand against "any at
tempt of foreign powers to inter
fere with Iraq's or Saudi Arabia'
affairs."
The communique also urged al
Arab states to refrain from inter
fering in the internal affairs o
any other Arab nation.
This appeared aimed at Egyp

Polish. Head
aBlasts 'Bid
For Power'
WARSAW (P) -Polish Commu-
nist chief Wladyslaw Gomulka
spoke two and one-half hours tc
the party Central Committee yes-
terday to squash what Communist
sources called a Stalinist bid for
power.
He was replying to Kazimer2
Mijal, who spearheaded the at-
tack on Gomulka's "middle-of-the-
road" communism at the commit-
tee's first meeting since Gomulka
took its leadership last year.
Mijal, a former minister of local
government, denounced Gomul-
I ka's policies as "a return to cap-
italism" and "capitulation" to the
Roman Catholic Church.
Informants said Gomulka iron-
ically told the 80 committee mem-
bers, "I thought we would hear
only one first secretary's report
at this meeting-mine. It seems
we have heard two. I shall have
an answer."
The sources said he then de-
livered a detailed retort to Mijal
and said the debate had convinced
h in. th'at "dogmatic" Stalinism
was as great a danger to Commu-
nist ideology as revisionism (the
tendency toward Western style
demociracy).
Previously the party here had
called revisionism the greater dan-
ger.

Home of the Mau-Mau
From 1952 to 1956 it was chiefly
in the world news as the home of
the Mau Mau, a Negro terrorist
society pledged to run out, the
whites who make up about 30,000
of the six million population.
That uprising was essentially
crushed last fall.
British informants said the Ken-
ya bases could emerge collectively
as perhaps the most important

Pope Gives
Wyszynki
Red B iretta
VATICAN CITY ()-Pope Pius
XII gave a cardinal's red hat, a
biretta, yesterday to Poland's Ro-
man Catholic primate and then,
in pointed reaffirmation of the
church's opposition to communism,
hailed a Polish martyr killed 300
years ago by Cossacks.
The Pontiff's related double ac-
tion was considered significant by
Vatican sources.
He first completed a procedure
delayed more than four years by
Poland's Communist regime, which
confined Stefan Cardinal Wyszyn-
ski until a few months ago..
The second, in the form of a
dramatically timed encyclical to
bishops of the church, called upon
all Catholics, especially those in
Poland, to follow the heroic ex-
ample of St. Andrew Bobola, a
Jesuit priest who was tortured to
death.
Vatican sources saw in the
Pope's encyclical a clear answer
to speculation that the church
might ease its attitude of opposi-
tion to Communist talk of "co-
existence."
The brief ceremony at which the
cardinal was given his red hat
and ring in a Roman basilica was
austere. No other cardinal was
present.
It lasted only about 15 minutes.
Later, in the Polish national
church of St. Stanislas, Rome's.
Polish colony and cardinals in
Rome quietly congratulated the
Polish primate.

TIPPERY, STARS:
Michigan Edges Iowa
9-8 To Regain Lead
By AL JONES
Michigan's baseball team won a close, controversial game from
Iowa in the 10th inning yesterday, 9-8, to move ahead of the Hawk-
eyes and claim the lead in the Big Ten race.
The winning run came in the last of the tenth, when Iowa relief
pitcher Don Dobrino walked Bob Sealby with the bases loaded, forcing
Bruce Fox across the plate with Michigan's victory margin.
The final pitch of the game was close. The umpire's decision set
off a storm of protest from Dobrino and Iowa Coach Otto Vogel.
Game Delayed'
The game started an hour and 10 minutes late due to the poor
conditions of the field. Intermittent showers during the game made

PARIS (R) - Foreign Ministe
Christian Pineau flies to New~
York this weekend in quest of e
firm ruling from the United Na-
tions Security Council that presen
one-man control of the SuezCana
is only temporary.
If he gets such a ruling, France
may permit French flag shipping
to use the canal again, pending a
definite agreement on the water-
way's international character.
France is now the only major
maritime power still boycotting
President Gamal Nasser's Sue2
Canal authority, and French ship-
owners are beginning to feel the
pinch of foreign competition.
It was pressure from these ship-
owners which led France to appeal
to the Security Council, according
to persons in close touch with
events in Paris.
Premier Guy Mollet is ada-
mantly opposed to acknowledging
Nasser's control of the canal, and
would resign rather than abandon
this position.
Britain and other members of
the Suez Canal Users' Association,
authorized their ships last week to
use the canal and pay tolls "under
protest" to Cairo.
Thus virtually isolated on the
world diplomatic stage on this
issue, France contends Egyptian
canal authorities must commit
themselves. through the United
Nations machinery to observe the
Suez Convention of 1888 and the
"six principles" of freedom of
transit through the waterway,
Foreign Aid
Backing Due'
Sparkman
WASHINGTON (P) - Senat
John Sparkman (D-Ala.) pre-
dicted yesterday President Dwight
D. Eisenhower will be more suc-
cessful in whipping up foreign aid
support than he apparently was in
defending other parts of his bud-
get.
But Senator Styles Bridges (R-
NH) said he doubts President
Eisenhower's scheduled second TV-
radio appeal to the nation Tues-
day night will keep Congress from
whacking another half billion dol-
lars off the $3,880,000,000 aid pro-
gram.
Sen. Eridges, who heads the
Senate Republican Policy Com-
mittee, said he will support a re-
duction of half a billion more in
the revised figure set by President
Eisenhower after the President
scaled down his original request
of $4,400,000,000.
"I am confident Congress will
not sabotage the program and will
be careful to avoid any cuts that
will endanger the security of the
country." Seri. Bridges said. "But
I think Congress is determined to
have economy and some substan-
tial reductions will be made."
Sen. Sparkman, a member of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
said in a separate interview he
thinks President Eisenhower's ap-
peal last Tuesday for support of
his $71,800,000,000 spending bud-
get failed to make much impres-
sion on congress.
"But I believe he is going to
have better success arguing for
his foreign aid program than he
did for his budget," Sen. Spark-
man said.

Group Plans
Asian Trip
Writing a prospectus outlining
the South Easf Asia Delegation
plan is the current project of the
South East Asian Steering Com-
inittee according to William
Wheeler, '60, committee member.
"We are planning to send this
prospectus to various foundations

project," Wheeler said.
In the fall of next year, the
Student Government Council com-
mittee will select seven delegates
to make the trip, giving them an
orientation in South East Asian
politics and foreign diplomacy.
Students interested in taking
;he proposed trip should consider
taking related University courses
in preparation for it, Wheeler
suggested.
The purpose of the delegation
is to promote American culture
and good-will on a student-to-
student-basis, to meet Asian stu-
dents and to visit some of their
'universities.
"This area is of rising impor-
tance to the world and these stu-

Presidency
Of Teamsters
CHICAGO (P)-John T. O'Brien,
fourth vice-president of the 1.4
million member Teamsters Union,
said yesterday he wants to succeed
Dave Beck as president of the
huge labor organization.

man wuo is called "Sandy" by
union associates, did not elaborate
on who was backing him for the
top Teamsters post.
Beck has said he will run for
*re-election at the Teamsters' con-
vention in Miami Beach, Fla.,

Several Chicago union offcials,
whilenot criticizing Beck, have
indicated they would look with
favor on O'Brien's candidacy.
O'Brien told a meeting of union
officials in Chicago last week that
he called Beck "a d--- fool for
continuing in the president's lob"
in the face of a Senate committee's
accusations that Beck appropri-
ated large sums of union money
for his own use.
