Proposes Initial Tests
He said there must be two tests.
First, if the project is designed for
scientific purposes, the size and
cost must be tailored to the scien-
tific Job to be done.
"We intend to carry forward our
programs in a way that will do
credit to our scientific tradition
and insure our security over the
years ahead," the President said.
"This will involve substantial cost."
Secondly, he added, if it is some
ultimate defense project, its ur-
gency for this purpose must be
judged in comparison to the prob-
able value of competing defense
projects.

March for a $500,000 Civil Defense
and Disaster Training Center to
be constructed on the North Cam-

yesterday.
The center which will be used
to prepare Civil Defense workers
for disasters and emergencies is to
be ready for use by early 1959,
according to present plans.
The federal government dis-
closed yesterday that it has grant-
ed $250,000 inmatching fundsfor
the project thus insuring con-
struction of thq facility.
Two hundred fifty thousand dol-
lars had already been appropri-
ated by the State Legislature for
the building which had been de-
signated in earlier capital outlay
requests by the University as a
"fire station and training labora-
tory."
Conferences between University,
state and federal officials resulted
in the training center.

DULLES:
Cede Some.
Freedoms
WASHINGTON (A)-- Secretary,
of State John Foster Dulles said
yesterday the American people
"may-have to give up some small
marginal freedoms" to cope with
the Soviet world pressures..
He did not say what freedoms
might have to be relinquished but
indicated they were connected
with forming an international
front against hostile communism
and making financial sacrifices to
keep the West strong.
Essential.Problem
"But the essential thing is whe-
ther we can retain the great bulk
of our freedoms and at -the same
time beat -back this great mono-
lithic structure," Dulles said.
"I have no doubt it can be done
and with results that will spread
freedom across the world."
Secretary of Commerce Sinclaim
Weeks, who preceded him, told the
executives that in federal budget
making this year the emphasis is
on "less butter and more guns."
Weeks Comments
Dulles said that while foreign
aid is not too popular in this coun-
try it is "absolutely essential to
hold together the free world."
Failure to maintain the foreign
aid program, he asserted, "would
involve the 'giveaway' of large
parts of the free world and would
leave the United States encircled
to a point of strangulation."
The American people must ac-
cept certain conditions, he said,
to overcome the great volume of
concentrated effort being made
under the Soviet dictatorship.

West Seeks Actlon To Avoid
Red Disarmament Boycott
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. () - The Western poers sought
yesterday to avoid a Soviet boycott of disarmament negotiations by
agreeing to add 10 new nations to the United Nations Disarmament
Commission.'
The Soviet Union appeared satisfied over the number, but ob-
jected to the political makeup of the group backed by the West.
x India Objects to List
India, which advanced the enlargement plan in behind-the-
scenes compromise negotiations, also was reported dissatisfied with
the countries suggested by the West. The West's choices did' not jibe
with a list being pushed by India.
Western agreement on enlarging the 12-nation commission was
reached at a secret meeting attended by the representatives of the

VIEWS:
Head
Welcomes
Appraisal
Drake Duane, '58, Inter-House
Council president, commenting
yesterday on the proposed re-
evaluation of the Inter - house
Council, said that he was "happy
to see the call for re-evaluation,"
adding that it would be considered
today by the IHC Presidium.
The re-evaluation question came
to a head Tuesday night when the
South Quadrangle Council in an.
ultimatum threatened to withdraw
"bodily and financially" from the
IHC if no action was taken on the
matter within three weeks.
Jack Hale, resident director of
West Quadrangle also comment-
ing on the proposal, said, "I hope
that as a result of the action, the
interests of both residents and the
IHC are kept in mind and served."
' Also in reference to the re-eval-
uation, Drake noted that "there
are other methods of doing it, but
this is the one they asked for, and'
this is the way we will conduct
it."

United States, Britain, France and
Canada.
A formal resolution embodying
the proposal will be presented to
a meeting of the 82-nation Gen-
eral Assembly today.
Russia Announces Boycott '
The Soviet Union has an-
nounced it will not attend meet-
ings of the commission or its five-
nation subcommittee as they are
presently organized.
This would result in a complete
breakdown of East-West negotia-
tions in the UN on disarmament.
The Russians proposed last
week that the commission - the
parent body for disarmament ne-
gotiations -- be enlarged to in-
clude all 82 members. But they
have since hinted that if India's
plan is approved they will not
push their proposal.
Specific Objection Withheld
Neither the Western nations nor
India would disclose their specif-
fic choices, but one of the main
difficulties revolved apparently
around the Eastern European na-
tions to be added.
Months of disarmament nego-
tiations in the subcommittee end-
ed in a deadlock in London last
August.

Union Senate.
Meets Today
The Union Senate will tackle
procedures when it meets at 7:30
p.m. today in the Union Ballroom.
It will act on a planning com-
mittee proposal on procedure, ac-
cording to Fred Wilten, '58E,
Union executive vice-president..
According to Wilten, the agenda
of the first meeting will be re-
sumed if there is enough time re-
maining.

5,347 persons voted.
Interfraternity Council Secre-
tary, Bert Getz, '59 BAd., was
elected to the Council on the sev-
enth ballot. Getz drew 833 votes
when the quota was 722.
Getz Wins 133 Votes
He picked up 133 votes on the
seventh ballot after gaining none
on the sixth.
Before his election an especial-
ly tense situation developed wher
five candidates were separated b
only 24 votes.
Incumbent Dan Belin, '59, was
the next candidate to be elected.
He pulled 755 vtes with a quota
of 700.
Linda Rainwater, '60, was
elected on the same ballot. She
drew 706 votes.
Wurster Elected Sixth-
The sixth candidate "to be
elected was Lois Wurster, '60. 'She
beat Mort_ Wise, '57, by approxi-.
mately 30 votes., She will only
serve a half term, because she is
replacing Judy Martin, '59, who
resigned from the Council two
weeks ago.
Approkimately 200 people wit-
nessed the election count which
took place in the League.
Wise and Miss Wurster fought
it out for the last position. Wise
had 620 votes and Miss Wurster
646, before the final count was
taken.
Koster Dropped
The first person to be dropped
was Don Koster, 59. He was fol-
lowed by Virgil Grumbling, '58,
Dave Bray, '60, Jo Hardee, '60, and
Wise.
Eleven candidates ran in the
elections, the lowest number in
SGC history. The vote was also
the lowest. Last semester the vote
was 5,556, and the previous low
had been set in March, 1954, with
a tally of 5,531.
Collins was "disappointed" in
the low student. vote. He attri-
buted his record breaking total to
the fact that "students listened"
to what he had to say during the
campaign.
The election. had gotten off to
a strong start Tuesday with a to-
tal vote of approximately 3,700.
Collins thought rain had cut down
the vote total yesterday.
Count night ended at 12:20 a.m.
Work had begun about 6:30 p.m.
Stratocruiser
Still Missing
HONOLULU id')-Not a trace
was found Wednesday of the Pan
American Stratocruiser missing at
sea since last Friday with 44 per-
sons aboard.
Twenty-nine planes and a dozen
helicopters operated from the car-
rier Philippine Sea in the 130,000
square mile Pacific area some 900
miles east of Honolulu where
searchers believe the big transport
vanished.
The Romance of the Skies van-
ished just about dusk last- Friday

representatives felt that there had
been general improvement in the
approach and the drive, that one
drive was better than four and
that Campus Chest should be
given another chance.
Changes Suggested
Organizational changes, per-
sonell, planning for late permis-
sions and the designation of con-
tributions for a specific charity
were suggested as areas for im-
provement.
Those opposed to the recom-
mendation felt that separate
drives had more success and al-
lowed students to give to whom
they chose. They said that "the
idea behind it was to get money"

its purpose.
