He said he got the idea from

that "my fellow Americans are

At the same time, he said, the
United States separated its satel-

priority to the ballistic missiles

Criticism Partly Valid
Wilson said there was ."some
validity" to criticism of so-called
inter-service rivalry - but only
the "senseless rivalry and not the
honest competition.
"What may seem like certain
duplications in the ballistic mis-
sile field is really an effort to
make more rapid progress and
have some insurance on alternate
ways 'of doing things," he said.

Nuclear Aid
For NATO
PARIS (A-Arming of all mem-
bers of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization with atomic wea-
pons was urged yesterday by a
French senator.
The proposal for "a common
program, not only in research, but
in the use of atomic weapons,"
was 'put before a closed session of
the military committee f NATO's
Parliamentary Assem~bly by Gen.
Marie-Emil Bethouart.
Explaining his suggestion in an
interview, .Bethouart said he in-
tended for the plan to cover all
NATO countries, including West
Germany.
Asks Stockpile
"My proposal is not for indi-
vidual- nations. lout for a stock-
piling by all the NATO allies," he
said.
Britain and the United States
presently are the only atomic-
equipped NATO-powers.
Bethouart's proposal was~ seen
as an indication of widespread
continental uneasiness over Brit-
ish-American nuclear strategy ex-
cluding other NATO members.,
International Force Sougst!
NATO's civilian boss, Seretary-
General Paul-Henri Spaak, last
week came out for creating a
trained international 'force able
to draw on a NATO stockpile of
nuclear weapons.
Yesterday's session of the Par-
liamentary Assembly also heard
another Frendh proposal for crea-
tion of a centralized European ad-
ministration for development of
ballistic missiles.
The Assembly has only an ad-
visory capacity 'in the'NATO set-
up. NATO's ruling body is the
Council, which is to meet next
month with President Dwight D.
Eisenhower, British Prime Minis-
ter Harold Macmillan and other
chiefs of government.

Syra Reports Turk Troops
1S yr kr 100S
Concentrated Along Border
DAMASCUS, Syria WA) - Syria put on a new show of war jitters
yesterday after the army reported unusually large Turkish troop
movements at night along the northern frontier.
High excitement was generated also by mass street demonstra-
tions and new editorial attacks against Hussein of Jordan, King of
the brother A'rab state to the south.
Speakers and editorials accused him of betraying Arab nation-
alism and threatened him with liquidation.
Agreement Reported
Developments which otherwise could presage a new crest of the
Middle East crisis were somewhat balanced, however, by uncon-
firmed reports from Arab sources "
at the United Nations in Newe
York that Syria and the United
States had agreed on steps to Im- In ie
prove their relations.
Is lands
The agreement was reported to
include a new exchange of am-
bassadors to fill vacancies created;
by a near rupture last *August
when Damascus army chiefs ac-
cused the United States of plot-
ting overthrow of the Syrian gov-
ernment.
The agreement was said to have
been reached in a meetings last
week between Syrian Foreign
Minister Salah Bitar and United
States Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge and Asst. Secretary of State
William M. Rountree.
Syrian Troops Alerted
As a result of the army reports
of Turkish military movements,
all Syrian troop units in the north
were put on alert, and the Syrian
Cabinet held a two-hour meeting
in the middle of the night.
For several weeks Syrians -have
been waging a word campaign
against Turkey, charging her with
concentrating troops along the
border and violating her border
and air space.
Backed up by Soviet party boss
Nikita Khrushchev Syria has been
accusing the United States of try-
ing to get Turkey to launch an
attack.
Stevenson
S
WASHINGTON UP) -President
Dwight D. Eisenhower has asked
Adlai.Stevenson to accompany him
to the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization meeting in - Paris as
number one man in charge of
America's effort to revitalize allied
opposition to Soviet expansion.
Stevenson so far hasn't said yes
and he hasn't said no. .
But his response, according to
informed sources, has been to ask
questions and keep the door open
to further discussion.
'The request went to Stevenson,
these sources 'said, through Sec-
retary of State John Foster Dulles
about Oct. 25. That 1was after the,
three-day visit to Washington of
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan.-
President Eisenhower and Prime
Minister Macmillan agreed the
NATO allies face a long, war-
time-like pull, to overcome the
Russian threat.
They agreed to try to launch at
the. Dec. 16' NATO meeting in
Paris a new NATO concept of
greater cooperation aild sharing
of retponsibility among the west-
ern allies.
Highly informed .sources said
Dulles asked Stevenson to become
what Dulles had been during the
Truman administration: the for-
eign policy adviser from the op-,
position party.

PHILIPPINES:
Typhoon
Winds Hit
MANILA (MP)-A raging typhoon
with 140 mile - an'- hour center
winds moved on the Philippines
early this morning,- only hours
before the scheduled start of bal-
loting in the nation's presidential
election.
At last reports, the storn was
85 miles northeast of Manila and
moving westward at 14 m.p.h. to-
ward the rich rice-growing regions
in central Luzon..
The winds were expected to
diminish when the typhoon --
named Kit - hit land.
The storm grounded all aircraft
in Manila while planes en. route
here were diverted to Hong Kong.
Political quarters saw in the
storm a boost* for the already'
strong chances for President Car-
los Garcia and his Nacionalista
party
They said the storm may cut
down the voting in rural strong-
holds of Garcia's major opponents,
Liberal Jose Yulo and Progressive
Manuel P. Manahan.
Garcia, who ,has never lost an
election in 31 yearsn of public life,
stepped into the presidential post
last March when President Ramon
Magsaysay was killed in an air-
plane crash.
Two minor candidates -Sen.
Carlo M. Recto, Nationalist-Citi-
zen candidate, and Independent
Liberal Antonio Quirino '- are
given no chance of winning.
Doctors Say
Eisenhower,
In Good Health
WASHINGTON (A) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's physi-
cians said yesterday after anoth-
er hospital check-up that "the
President continues to maintain
an excellent state of health."
A new medical report oh the 67-
year-old President, which went
into particular detail as to his
heart and abdomen, reported
nothing wrong.
"His general physical condition
is excellent," the doctors said aft-
er a physical examination with
laboratory tests at Walter Reed
Army Hospital Sunday and yes-
terday.
President Eisenhower had given,
his own report a few'hours earlier
on leaving the hospital, where he
had spent the night. A reporter
asked him then how he was feel-
ing, and President Eisenhower re-
plied:z
"Fine, fine."

APATHY, SIGMA KAPPA DISCUSSED:
Candidate Forum Brings SGC Campaign to Close
d May Ask
Review
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last
of a series on the opinions of Stu-
dent Government Council candidates
as voiced during the campaign.)
By RICHARD TAUB
Sessions of Student Government
Council candidates discussing is-
sues were brought to a close with
a candidates forum yesterday.
Approximately 25 students came
to hear the candidates.
Nine of the 11 candidates dis-
cussed apathy and complacency,
and offered ways of remedying
the situation, all of which em-
phasized the communications
problem.
Other Reason Suggested? *
One member of the audience,
suggested the communicationse
tion he cited a suggestion of David.
Bray, '60, that the final exam
schedule be published in the time
schedule and a suggestion of Lois
Wurster, '60, that SGC look into
counselling.
There is a counsellingstudy
committee at work now, which was
set up at the request of SGC.
Joe Collins, '60, SGC President,
pointed to the new Forum pro-
gram as a worthwhile accomplish-
ment of the Council. He also noted
that students get interested when
a Council -decision affects them.
He poainted to the Sigma Kappa
decision and the deferred rushing
decision as examples of sudden
student interest.
ruling pertains only to those
groups recognized after 1949.
Miss Rainwater told students
that she thought it would be un-
fair to set up any specific require-
ments for Sigma Kappa to prove
it is not in violation of the regula-
tion.
She said that Sigma Kappa
should decide what policy to re-
vise and then, at that time, the
Council could consider it.
Mort Wise, '59, said that Sigma
Kappa should reinstate its expelled
chapter, with the Negro girl still
a member. In 1956 Sigma Kappa
expelled Tufts College chapter
after it had pledged a Negro.
If the Tufts chapter is not re-
instated, or the suspension is not
SGC will accept any action it
takes.
Dan Belin, '59, told Van Tyne
House he thought that the charter
of national Sigma Kappa should
be revoked, if it cannot prove that
it did not violate discriminatory
policy at the University.
Two ways in which it might
prove it no longer violates the
regulation would be to: rein~tate
one of the barred chapters while
it still had a Negro member; per-
mit another local to pledge a
Negro without being expelled.
He said, however, that no spe-
cific thing could be required of
the sorority, because it might have
another alternative.
