LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-Student and townspeople of Little Rock
ended a first week of school integration 6t the Central High football
game last night singing two new songs.
One, which replaced Monday's bitter chant of "Two, four, six,
eight; we ain't gonna integrate," was led by 200 members of the 101st
Airborne Division who spent their night off cheering on Little Rock:
"Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar; All those for Little Rock, stand
up and holler!" '-

talks with Egypt's finance minis-

though United States officials
ruled out any meeting between
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Egypt's President Nasser.
The minister, Abdel Moniem
Kaissouni, has been here for the
meetings this week of the World
Bank and International Monetary
Fund.
At one social function, Kais-
souni met William Rountree, as-
sistant secretary of state, for
Middle East affairs. Informants
said Kaissouni suggested a talk.
Rountree was reported to have,
agreed.
No formal date was set, but it
was considered probable Kais-
souni and Rountree would meet
this weekend or early next week
before Kaissouni leaves.

The nine Negro students stayed
home last night, and all indica-
tions were that they would not
attend tonight's school dance,
either.
Yet for Central High it was a
jubilant night; the Tigers beat the
Istrouma High "Indians" of Baton
Rouge, La., by a 12-6 score, and
the cheerleaders had lots of help
from the 200 khaki-clad service-
men, whose voices were with the
school they had guarded four days.
The only sour note came with
the announcement that "the band
will not march tonight.'.
Central High's nine cheerleaders
and l of the football players were
unanimous and positive in telling
The Daily, "We're going to lead
the rest of the school in living
with our problem of integration."
The Baton Rouge people, who
have no integrated schools at all,
seemed still less concerned and
more indifferent on the question
that had troubled Little Rock all
week.

Case's Show,

'Epidemics' Hit
Some Colleges
WASHINGTON (AR) - A sharp,
upturn in the number of Asian flu
cases around the country was re-
ported yesterday by the Public
Health Service.
The number of new cases jumped
by 122,650 in one week, the service
reported, bringing the total since
the disease first made its appear-
ance in late May or early June to
222,650.
The PHS5's latest estimate, based
on incomplete reports from state
health officers and the armed for-
ces, covers the week ended Sept. 21.
By that, time, the service said:
"Epidemics, some of them explo-
sive in nature, were reported in
a number of schools and colleges
located in various parts of -the
country.,
The number of new cases during
the previous week, ending Sept.
14, was estimated at 50,000.'
Surgeon Gen. Leroy E. Burney
had said cold weather seems to
"trigger" flu attacks.
Two new deaths were mentioned
in yesterday's summary as possibly
attributable to infruenza. One of
these was in Oklahoma and the
other in Arizona. A week ago the
PHS reported that Asian flu had
caused 14 deaths in this country.

WASHINGTON (P)-- A former.
officer of the Michigan Federation
of Labor testified yesterday the
'[eamsters Union used threats, rig-
ged elections and links with the
underworld to build up power in
his state.
Robert Scott also told the Sen-
ate Rackets Committee that James
R. Hoffa, Midwest boss of the
Teamsters, threatened "to break
both my arms and legs" when
Scott threatened to resign from
the federation in protest against
the way Hoffa and others were
changing the constitution. Scott
said he resigned anyway.
He was placed under protection
of the committee after reporting
that he received two threatening
telephone calls last week warning
him not to testify in Washington.
Yesterday's hearing ended with
an outburst from William Buffa-
lino, president of Teamsters Local
985 in Detroit, that the committee
was using "Gestapo. tactics" and
"trying to get information at gun
point."
Robert F. Kennedy, committee
counsel, acknowledged that one of
his investigators had drawn a pis-
tol on Harry Newman, the busi-
ness agen~t of Buffalino's local.
Kennedy said the incident occur-
red after Newman, whom he de-
scribed as a husky Negro, started
pushing the investigator around.
Hoffa was not present to hear
the latest testimony against his
regime in Michigan. He was busy
in Miami Beach, Fli., campaigning
for the presidency of the 1Y2-mil-
lion-member union.
Course '-Prtoposed
A new' undergraduate course in Asian Civilizations, now being
planned by an interdepartmental committee, will be available next
fall.
According -to Prof. Robert Crane of the history department, a
member of the planning committee, the new course will become a
Freshmen-Sophomore option in both Humanities and Social Science.
It will thus enable instructor in present 100-level courses in Near
Eastern Studies, Far Eastern Studies, and South Asian history to
assume students have an Asian history, culture, politics and philo-
sophy. This would eliminate much<
introductory work, Prof. Crane
explained.
The Asian Civilization course
would employ at least six differ-
ent lecturers for each section, rep-
resenting the combined efforts of
the Anthropology, Far East Lan-
guages and Literatures, Fine Arts,
Geography, History ,and Political
Science departments.

Just exactly what Oosterbaan. his staff, and thousands of partisen

"Great Britain and the other
