Brief Attack

Legislators
Ministers Wounded;
Only One Seriously
JERUSALEM (P) - A bomb
hurled from the public gallery in-
jured Prime Minister David Ben-
'Gurion and four of his ministers
in Parliament yesterday.
Social Welfare Minister Moshe
Shapira was wounded seriously.
The others escaped with lesser
hurts.
The bomb thrower, identified as
Moshe Ben Jacob Douek, a 25-
year-old Jew, was seized in the
gallery by a maintenance em-
ploye and held for police.
Casualties Listed
Authorities said Douek was un-
balanced mentally and had tried
to burn an Israeli hospital 2 years
ago.
Police quoted him as saying he'
had a grudge against Yough Al-
yah, an organization for the immi-
gration, training and absorption
of new imnmigrants in Israel.
Officials listed the casualties
thus:
Ben-Gurion-superficial injuries

left leg.

Parliament Continues
Shapira underwent- surey and
received a blood transfusioi.
Parliament resumed its session
--with the police guard reinforced
and public spectators barred-a
little more than two hours after
the bombing.
Speaker Josephr Sprinzak told
the deputies Ben-Gurion's condi-
tion was good.
The government radio station
announced that the Prime Minis-
ter had been detained in a hospital,
despite his insistence that he be
permitted to go home.
Barzilat attended the resumed
parliamentary session.
Most of the wreckage had been
cleared away by then.
Douek was grabbed by a main-
tenance employe, Moshe Greenfeld,
before police moved in .Greenfed
was making an inspection tour
when the bomb exploded. Both
Greenfeld and Douek were injured
slightly in their scuffle in the
gallery.

Dulles Urges
U.S. Caution
With Soviets
WASHINGTON (A)-Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles said yes.
terday the West "must constantly
be alert" against Russian launch-
ing some foreign adventure to
divert attention from what's going
on at home.
"But I don't want to give you
the impression that we think there
is a war around the corner be-
cause we don't think it is," he said.
'Dulles spoke out- in guarded
terms-at-a news conference which
covered, among other things, Mar-s
shal Zhukov's sudden dismissal as
Soviet defense minister.
Declines Predictions
Dulles declined to predict what
might be, the outcome. He did ex-
press the view that the lengthy
sessions the Comminist Central
Committee is reported to be hold-
ing means that issues of "very con-
siderable importance" are being
debated.
Dulles said the new Moscow cri-
sis probably "relates more ,to do-
mestic issues than they do to in-,
ternational problems."
He said, the "pulling and haul-
ing" may reflect serious issues
developing from the scrapping of
Russia's. five-year economic plan
and the move, started last spring,
to decentralize industry.
Awaits Developments
Dulles, obviously waiting for de-
velopments, refused to say whether
the new Moscow situation repre-
sents good or bad news, for the
West.
Regardless of shifts in personnel,
he said, Moscow's dictatorship
eventually will change 'either by
evolution or revolut4on. This re-
form may take a generation but it
is inevitable, he said.
He added that President Eisen-
hower would give sympathetic con-
sideration to an invitation to at-
tend the 15-nation North Atlantic
Pact Council meeting in Paris
Dec. 16.
TIBOR DERY:
Students Seek Release
Of Hungarin Writer
A group of University students led by John Dwyer, '59, and Torre
Bissell, '60, have prepared petitions seeking the freedom of Novelist
Tibor Dery, 63, who is imprisoned in Communist Hungary.
Students will have tables available on the Diagonal today and
tomorrow in an effort to obtain signatures of 'U' students, personnel
and any other interested persons.
Plan Petition..
According to both Dwyer and Bissell, plans call for the sehding
of petitions to the Manchester Guardian, an English newspaper,
and the sending of a )petition to
a high official in the Comnunist
controlled government of Hunga- .F

Gaillard Asked
To Orgaize
Government
PARIS (P)-President Rene Coty
yesterday asked Felix Gaillard to'
form a government. The young
financial wizard. didn't say yes or
no.
It was Coty's sixth attempt to
find a government'to pull France,
out' of a political and financial en-
tanglement.
If the 37-year-old Radical So-
cialist gets enough support in the
splintered French Assembly, he
will be the youngest premier in
post-war France.
Coty called upon him after the
assembly rejected Socialist- Guy
Mollet by a vote of 290-227 early
Tuesday.

fallen cabinet of Premier Maurice
Bourges-Maunoury, is an advocate'

Of Standards'
University president Harlan
Hatcher indicated in "The Future.
is Now," a report for the year
1956-57 published yesterday that
"there will be no relaxation of
academic standards for admission
or performance of University stu-
dents.
"For many years, the University
has admitted only those applicants
whose a cademic records and per-
sonal qualities- give promise of suc-
cess in their study," Hatcher
noted.r
"The validity of this policy of
admission is borne out by the fact
that over a long period of years,
an average of 80 per cent of each
entering class has achieved its
educational objective. This com-
pares with a national collegiate
average of 50 per cent.
"The entering freshman class
in September, 1956, was' one of the
Vniversity's best," Hatcher noted.
"Nine out of ten of its members
ranked in the top half of their
high school graduating class, and
40 per cent ranked in the top tenth
of those classes."

Disciplinary .Action Passedi
By Joint Judiciary Council,
Joint Judiciary Council, in meetings held on Sept. 26, Oct. 3, 10
and 17, administered disciplinary action for infractions of University
regulations in cases involving 32 students and two fraternities.'
Names of the violaters were not disclosed by the Council. "It is
the policy of the Council that the publication of the names of indi-'
viduals involved in violations of University regulations serves no
useful purpose in attempting to clarify the Council's action in the
" enforcement and interpretation,
of these regulations," Bob Stahl,
'58, chairman of the council;said.
" " '' Eight cases heard by the Coun-'
D IM ru shes . cii involved violations of state
1? nlaws and city ordinances relating
to the purchase, sale and use of
: intoxicants. Fines ranged from
$10 for drinking on University
property, to $50 for drunk driv-
ing.
MORE VACANCIES THIS YEAR:
Crowding t Men's Residence Halls
Of the remaining students, 14 were
pledged later. The others will be-
come eligible in January.
Housing Problem
"The problem here lies in terms'
of housing," Cross said. "There
isn't a house on this campus that
isn't virtually filled to capacity."
Our fraternity system could not
accomodate the 600 rushees who
failed to pledge, he continued.
"I believe that any person, who
really wants to join a fraternity
should be given every opportunity
to become a member of one. This
does not mean an individual
should be entitled to join the
fraternity of his choice even
though the fraternity he wishes to
pledge does not want him in their
brotherhood," Cross said.
The concept of fraternity living
is based on membership selection,
he noted. "The-Williams fraternity
pledging policy violates this con-
cept," Cross said.,
Rob Trost, '58, Inter-Fraternity
Council president, agreed with
Cross on the principle of member-
ship selection. "The fraternity
assigned a certain pledge may not
like the individual and also, the
individual not care for the house
he -has been assigned."
