I Cprus Reoluion
By RALPH LANGER'
After eight hours of debate yesterday the Campus United Nations
failed to approve a resolution on Cyprus.
The, resolution proposed a ten-year trusteeship to be set up under
the UN, leading to leaving the government in the hands of the people
of Cyprus.
Deleted Resolution
The resolution had each section debated and in turn deleted until
only one paragraph remained out of the original eight. This last
paragraph, stating that a "...progressive transfer of government to
1 the Cypriots is to take place," failed to receive the necessary twt-thirds

Proposal May Lead
To Major Revisions
WASHINGTON (M - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's disarma-
ment advisors are drafting a pro-
posal to suspend nuclear weapons
testing under an international
watch dog system for a three-year
period.
It would be presented for nego-
tiation with Russia.
It represents part of a broad-
scale review of United States pol-
icy which may lead to a historic
revision of the policy.
Work Speeds
The return Tuesday of Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles from
the Far East is expected to speed
work on the problem.
President Eisenhower will decide
finally whether policy is to be
changed.
A decision probably will be made
in the next month or so.
The basic question shaping up
is whether to risk the danger of
secret Soviet violations of a test
ban and go ahead with negotia-
tions on United States terms so
drastically modified that they will
make agreement likely.
The negotiations, according to
present official thinking, would
very likely .come to a climax in
an East-West summit conference.
The past week has brought out
some highly contradictory opinion
on whether its in the United States'
interest to agree with the Soviets
on suspending tests.
But high officials now believe
that, despite a rearguard fight by
Atomic Energy Commission advo-
cates of continuing tests, the
President will order the radical
modification of United States
policy necessary to halt them-
providing Russia accepts the mini-
mum United States conditions.
The expected decision by the
President to change United States
policy and bring it closer to Rus-
sia's demands for a virtually un-
conditional ban on nuclear testing
would mean a defeat for crusading
scientist Edward Teller.r

Humor.
By SUSAN HOLTZER
When the delegate from Thai-
land abstained from voting on the
final . resolution at yesterday's
Model United Nations, he used his
two minutes of explanation time
to over a suggestion to the Cyprus
dispute.
"The island should be parti-
tioned into three sections;" he
said, "one for the Greek Cypriots,
one for the Turks, and a third
part for the British troops in
there now."
The whoop of laughter from the
r British delegation 'summarized
perfectly both the atmosphere of
the session and the one individual
who completely stole the show.
Explains Abstention
Thus there were such memor-
able statements as the one. by the
delegate from Ethiopia, explaining
his country's abstention during the
final voting.
"Ethiopia abstains," he an-
nounced,'"because the whole issue
is so complicated I don't under-
stand any of it."
Or there was the vote cast by
Daily Editorial Director James
Elsman, '58, for the Russian dele-
gation, the only country not rep-
resented by one of its own citizens.
Speaks Russian
Elsman rose, blew into the mic-
rophone which had lately gone
dead, and spoke: "Soyouz Sovyet-
skeek Sotzeealeesteecheskeek Res-
poobleek voteerovat, Nyet!" Trans-
lation: "The Soviet Union votes
no."
But when Ian Davison, Spec.,
rose for the United Kingdom, he
immediately became the center of
attention. r
On his feet in support of, a m9-
tion, Davison waved his hands like
a cheerleader, wheedling the other
delegates to -stand also. He paid
particular attention to the United
States delegation next to him,
which consistently refused to sup-
port any British motion.
On India
Similarly, Davison was vocal on
motions or votes by other dele-
gates. When India, in violation of
every expectation, abstained from
the final voting, Davison's an-
guished "Oooh!" could be heard
throughout the auditorium. -
But Davison really brought down
the house when he introduced a
"point of information," on the mo-
tion "that the elected constituent
assembly shall determine the po-
litical future of the Island." At-

ig.
The simulated United Nations
meeting, sponsored by, the Aca-
demic Services and International
committees of the Union in co-
operation with International Stu-
dents Association, began its two-
session meeting yesterday ,at 9
a.m. Following an opening state-
ment by 'Prof. Inis Claude, of the
'political science department, con-
cerning the role of the United Na-
tions in world affairs, the assembly
8 heard opening statements by
Greece, Turkey, and Great Britain,
the three countries basically in-
volved in the dispute.
* Abide by Ruling
Great Britain opened by, saying
that they would abide by any rul-
ing that the- assembly would make,
but that they would not merely
leave the island unless some sort
of supervision under the UN was
presentbecause this would leave
the island ". . . open to terrorism."
Beverly Pooley, Grad., leader of
the United Kingdom delegation,
suggested making Cyprus a UN
territory, with the political, mili-
tary, and civil affairs of the island
under UN supervision.
He also said, however, that if
the assembly felt the United King-
dom should continue its adminis-
tration of the. island, gradually
relinquishing the government to
t the Cypriot people, Britain would'
do so.
Controversy Rages
The controversy raged over the
proposed "self-determination" for
the island. Although all of the
countries said they believed in the
ultimate self-determination of the
island, some felt that this deter-
mination should be immediate and
others urged a "gradual" reduction
of control with increased Cypriot
rule.
Greece, who charged that Cy-
prus asked for independence in,
1878 and has been asking ever
since, brought cries of "nonsense"
from the British delegation.
Greece also denounced the use
of the word "terrorist" in connec-

Draft Calls
Still Steady
WASHINGTON (P) - Selective
Service officials said yesterday
that physically fit and "unen-
cumbered" young single men still
face "a 100 per cent certainty" of
being drafted by the time they are
about 23.
This is true despite relatively
low draft calls, now running 13,-
000 a month, because of the coun-
try's total military manpower de-
mands for active, reserve and Na-
tional Guard service, the officials
said.
By "unencumbered" y o u n g

Guard, the reserves, or other fields
in which they may gain deferment

Supreme Soviet, 99.98 per cent of
the Russian electorate voted for
the party-selected candidates.
Prof. William B. Ballis, of the
political science department, said
"Soviet elections are not elections
as we know them in the United
States."
"Only one candidate for an of-
fice appears on the ballot, but the
citizens have the right to scratch
his name off.
Prof. Ballis referred to Soviet
elections as "citizenship indpctri-
nation campaigns."
He said that the reason why a
larger per cent of people vote in
Russia than in the United States
is because "everything is done to
facilitate voting."
He cited the special ballots given
to sick or disabled persons unable
to get to the polling places and
those available to persons traveling
on planes or trains as examples.
Also, he said, elections are held
on Sundays so the maximum num-
ber of voters can turn out.
Representatives to the Supreme
Soviet are elected every four years.
This is the fifth election in which
the people have directly elected
their representatives by secret bal-
lot. Until 1927 officials were elected
indirectly.
"The whole electoral system in
the Soviet System is directly con-
trolled and manipulated by the
Communist Party, which has a
monopoly," Porf. Ballis concluded.
A contrast between American
and Russian elections pointed out
by political scientists is that to

Kauper Cites
Court Trend
"The Supreme Court determines
what the Constitution means.
"And personal, subjective fac-
tors will continue to play a large
part in the judicial interpretative
process in the future, as they have
in the past," Prof. Paul G. Kaup-
er said recently.
A University expert on constitu-
tional law, Prof. Kauper listed
three major trends in recent
United States Supreme Court de-
cisions:
1) There continues a broad con-
struction of federal powers, ex-
cept when they impinge upon in-
dividual rights;
2) Much emphasis Is placed up-
on the protection of accused per-
sons and on procedural regulari-
ty in court cases;
3) The Supreme Court strongly
supports such civil rights as free
speech, free press, and equal pro-
tection under the law.
' If Justices. Warren, Douglas,-
Black, or Brennan should leave
the bench for any reason the pres-
ent character might be changed.
The character might then tend
toward a different interpretation
of individual rights.
"In general, the Court under
Chief Justice Warren has returned
to the 1940-50 decade in his inter-
pretations." The Warren, Black,
Brennan, and Douglas coalition
believes in a very vigorous exer-
cise of the power of judicial re-
view to protect the values which
they deem significant, Prof.
Kauper said.
Because the others on the Court
don't agree on this question on
limited review of state court de-
cisions it is one of the continuing
dilemmas of judicial review, he
continued.
