The zone was made a military area immediately after President Gamal Abdel Nasser proclaimed last night nationalization of the 103-mile waterway. He said Egypt will use the revenue from the canal to finance her billion-dollar Aswan Dam project. British embassy spokesmen said that Britain's formal protest to the esizure of the canal was delivered to the foreign ministry yes- Canal Crisis Alarms U.S. Government WASHINGTON () - The United States moved into the Suez Canal crisis yesterday, extending cau- tious support to Britain and France in their developing fight against Egypt's seizure of the vital waterway. President Dwight D. Eisenhower conferred with his Cabinet on the bold nationalization of the "Big Ditch." He also discussed it with Under-secretary of State Herbert Hoover Jr., who is running the State Department in the absence of Secretary John Foster Dulles Hoover talked with Dulles in Lima Peru. A statement issued by the State Department made two main points: Statements Issued 1. The Suez is an "international waterway," and its seizure Thurs- day night by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser carries "far- reaching implications" for coun- triep in both Europe and Asia. 2. The United States "is con- sulting urgently" with other gov- ernments. Press officer Lincoln White said the other governments were initially Britain and France but that the problem will also be discussed with additional coun- tries. These include the nations of Western Europe which get the great bulk of their oil through the canal. The fact that the American statement called the canal an "in- ternational - waterway" was re- garded as significant. It provides a basis upon which the United States may apt against the seiz- ure. Central Impulse The central impulse in policy discussions here yesterday, it was reported, was to find some way to support Britain and France. They have primary responsibility in the canal matter because the corpora- tion which owns the waterway is French and the largest stockhold- ing. is British. White said an American member of the board, Pinkney Tuck, had not reported to Washington so far as White knew. Primary Vote Set for Texas DALLAS, Tex. ()-Name-calling oratory and vaudevillian campaign tricks ended as Texas Democrats prepared to vote for a new gover- nor today. Crowding the gubernatorial con- test for importance in the state party primary was a three-ques- tion, referendum on school inte- gration, intermarriage legislation, and interposition. The straw poll would not be binding on the State' Legislature but undoubtedly will leave a powerful political impres- sion. All but one of the six candidates for governor are in favor of leaving desegregation in any form to state and local government. An estimated 1% million votes will be cast between 7 a.m. and In addition to nominating a new governor to succeed Governor Al- lan Shivers, who did not run for a Sfourth term, Texans will vote on 22 congressiona races and other state officials serving two-year terms. Technically, the winners in the Democratic Primary are not elected iitil A i ..tn s .... is... - *terday by an embassy messenger. The spokesman added that the protest had to be delivered imme- diately and that it was impossible to arrange a meeting on such short notice between Ambassador Sir Humphrey Trevelyan and Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi. In Port Said yesterday, Col. Ab- den Hamid Bahgat, a member of the Egyptian committee formed by military men and civilians for operating the internationally con- trolled Suez Canal Co., issued an announcement saying: "The Suez Canal zone is now an Egyptian military zone. Any action aimed at harming the in- terests or properties of the newly nationalized company and pre- venting the smooth functioning of traffic will be a military crime . and be subject to the maximum penalty of the law." Commerce Minister Mohamed Abou Nosseir told reporters only Egyptian courts are competent to decide any challengers brought by Britain, France, the United I States or other interested nations . to test the legality of Egypt's ac- tion. The International Court of Justice has no jurisdiction, he de- clared. De-moCrats' Vote Roster WASHINGTON (P)-The Demo- crats completed their 1,372-vote National Convention delegate ros- ter yesterday with selection of a 32-vote uncommitteed delegation in Virginia. A seventh District convention in the same state Saturday will pick the last two delegates to the Re- publican National Convention, to be composed of 1,323 delegates with one vote each. With all Democratic delegates picked, Adlai E. Stevenson, the party's 1952 standard bearer, holds a comfortable lead for a second presidential nomination, but is some distance from the required 686% majority. The latest Associated Press tab- ulation of first ballot vote pledges and preferences turned up in polls shows : Adlal E. Stevenson-371 Senator Estes Kefauver-164% Gov. Averell Harriman-136 The remainder of the votes are distributed this way: Senator Lyndon B. Johnson 58y, Governor Frank J. Lausche 54%, Senator Stuart Symngton 47%, Governor G. Mennen Williams 44, Governor A. B. Chandler 30, Sen- ator Warren G. Magnuson 26, Governor George Bell Timmer- man Jr. 20; others 15, and un- committed 405. Busy Night Marks End of Congress Passes Foreign Aid, Social Security Bill WASHINGTON (P) - The 84th Congress adjourned yesterday amid songs and backslapping, aft- er passing foreign aid, public housing and social security bills. A Senate attempt to rush through a last-minute relaxation of immigration law restrictions was blocked in the House. Rep. F. E. Walter (D-Pa), co-author of the 1952 McCarran-Walter Act, and others looked askance at the new measure. Allowed to die in the Senate were House bills strengthening civil rights and raising the postal rates. Home Campaigns Members immediately began scattering from not and humid Washington to get ready for the political campaigns back home. Their briefcases were loaded with unfinished arguments about this or that piece of legislation. The final gavel fell after settle- ment of a long wrangle between House and Senate over a compli- cated new housing bill. As finally passed, the bill pro- vides 70,000 new public housing units in the next two years, and continues the Federal Housing Ad- ministration FHA mortgage in- surance, home repair loan insur- ance and other programs. Settled in favor of the Senate was a battle over rates of gov- ernment payment for military housing built by private contrac- tors. The House voted for pay- ments based on current replace- ment costs; the Senate insisted on a formula based on original costs, contending they were lower. Social Security Bill The social security bill, sent to President Dwight D. Eisenhower with a raft of other last minute measures, sets up a new program of payments to disabled persons starting at age 50. It also lowers the retirementeligibility age of women from 65 to 62, giving them lesser benefits if they apply be- fore 65. The social security tax is in- creased from 2 per cent to 2% per cent on both employer and em- ploye, staring next Jan. 1. The $3,766,570,000 foreign aid bill - cut more than a billion dol- lars below President Eisenhower's request - was one of the last measures approved. Senate lead- ers reportedly held it up to in- sure a quorom for other business. Ike Victories In the 84th Congress, which started work in January, 1955, President Eisenhower won victo- ries, suffered defeats and had to accept many compromises. The President got all or much] of what he wanted on such things as the soil bank farm program, defense measures for Formosa,, draft law extensions, taxes, reor- ganization powers, housing, pay raises for federal workers and ex- ecutives. The legislators did major re- writing jobs on such measures as foreign aid, social security, high- way construction and minimum wages. Lost in the shuffle were immi- gration law changes, civil rights bills, health reinsurance, federal aid for school, postal rate in- creases. Union Ending Steel ,',' World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Power Commission yesterday set Oct. 2 for start of a hearing on proposals by five natural gas pipeline com- panies to. construct $191,805,503 worth of facilities.

Survivors Report Conflicting Stories NEW YORK (R) - Some survivors of the stricken liner Andrea Doria said yesterday that the first lifeboats away from the sinking vessel were filled largely wtih crew members. The statements were in direct contrast to the stories of the ship's passengers who were brought to New York City Thursday aboard the French liner Ile de France. Some of the group aboard the Ile de France, including Philadelphia Mayor Richardson Dilworth, spoke highly of the crew's performance in the crash. The criticism of the crew yesterday was voiced by members of the last group of survivors who arrived here on the Swedish ship Stockholm which smashed into the Andrea Doria Wednesday night in dense fog off Nantucket. Frank Clifton, a Toronto, Cana- da, city alderman and senior mu- nicipal council member, said he escaped in a lifeboat that carried 40 crew members and four pas- sengers. He said that soon after the crash occurred, crew mem- bers dashed to the deck, "yelling and jabbering." "From out of nowhere came lots of the crew and got into one of the Aboats," he recalled. "I got in with them." "Nobody gave me any instruc- tions or paid any attention to me," he said. "It was the law of the jungle." While this was going on, Clifton siad there was near panic among women and children trying to get into other lifeboats. Another passenger of the An- drea Doria, Mrs. Beulah McGow- en of Monterey, Calif., said in a pier radio interview "The crew members of the Stockholm told me that the first three lifeboats launched from the Andrea Doria contained all members of the ship's crew." She said she and her husband, Edgar, made their way to the deck and that she plunged overboard. She was picked up by a Stockholm lifeboat. She said she did not know how her husband was saved. Calls Puller AsWitness PARRIS ISLAND, S. C. {P)- S/Sgt. Matthew C. McKeon's de- fense yesterday sought Lt. Col. Lewis B. Chesty Puller as a court- martial witness for their side. The retired officer is a living legend in the Marine Corps, Defense attorney Emile Zola Berman asked the Corps to bring Puller here next week. At his home in' Saluda, Va., Puller com- mented: "I know nothing about it. If I go down there, the Marine Corps will order me there." Puller, 58, is a former Parris Island drill instructor, a staunch friend of the enlisted man and an officer who thinks a Marine thrives better on beer than ice cream. "Success in battle is the real object of military training," he' once remarked. The court martial is in recess until Monday when the defense will open its case. Reports 46 Passengers Not Found NEW YORK ({)-Forty-six per- sons were reported missing yes- terday in the sinking of the Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria-per- haps tarpped in the interior as the great ship went down. The U.S. Coast Guard, revising its previous tallies of survivors rescued from thesdoomed liner, said new figures show that 46 are unaccounted for. Ten were listed as known dead. This information came, as the battered Swedish liner, the Stock- holm, struggled into port with the last load of 533 men, women and children saved from the sinking ship. Most Saved In the urgency of the massive sea rescue, and the dispersal of survivors to a half dozen rescue ships, most of the 1,706 aboard the lost ship were believed saved. But the new Coast Guard fig- ures raised the possibility that many persons were sealed-or disabled-in the smashed quar-. ters of the Andrea Doria as the vessel sank in 222 feet of water. New York Police Capt. John Cronin, in charge of the city's Missing Persons Bureau, said "about 50" are missing from the ship sinking. He said some of them kmaynultimately, be located in hotels or hospitals. He said hundreds of telephone' calls have come from desperate relatives and friends, trying to trace survivors of the disaster. A number of those about whom inquiries have been made are "absolutely not on any of the lists," he said. New Mystery Adding mew mystery to the dis- aster was a cryptic statement from the Stockholm's skipper, Capt. Gunnar Nordenson, that his ship's radar was working before and after the collision. "Yes," he said when newsmen asked him about the matter. Then he declined to elaborate, on ad- vice of company counsel. The two ships-Italy's proudest, newest liner Andrea Doria and the sleek Swedish vessel, Stock- holm, chashed in fog-veiled dark- ness of the Massachusetts coast Pact Reached by Industry, S tassen Supporter Switches WASHINGTON (RP)-O n e o f Harold E. Stassen's financial angels took wing into the camp of Vice-President Richard Nixon yes- terday thereby adding to the woes of Stassen's stop-Nixon crusade. Bailie W. Vinson, Republican na- tional committeeman from Okla- homa, wired Nixon that it was true he had chipped in $1,000 to help bankroll an upcoming vice- presidential poll mastermined by Stassen. But he did so "without thinking of the implication," he said. And anyway, he added, he already knew what the poll will show. "I feel that any poll taken will reveal your (Nixon's) tremendous strength in its true light." Cnts on Poll Stassen,President Dwight D. Eisenhower's disarmament spec- ialist, obviously has been counting on the poll to help rub Nixon off the GOP ticket. He has come out for Governor Christian Herter of Massachusetts but Gov. Herter has come out for Nixon-has agreed to place Nixon's name in nomination, in fact. Vinson wired Nixon that he is for a second term for Nixon, and has been in the past. Three days ago, in talking to a reporter, he had been unwilling to say more than that the vice-presidential choice is "entirely up to President Eisenhower." He said yesterday he was an old friend of Stassen and when Stas- sen asked a contribution- to help him out of a "tight fix" he obliged out of friendship. Not Disturbed Stassen did not appear dis- turbed by reports from several congressional Republicans that President Eisenhower was irri- tated by his aide's continuing ef- forts to get Nixon off the ticket. President Eisenhower has said all sorts of nice things about Nix- on, though he has never said in so many words he wants him renomi- nated. Stassen attended the first Cabi- net meeting yesterday since the President'sintestinal operation. Nixon, presiding over the Senate, was absent. Asked if there was any discus- sion of the Nixon-Stassen contro- versy by the Cabinet, White House press secretary James C. Hagerty replied: "None at all."

Houses Available For Faculty Use Ir )trike Formal End Next Week, Officials Say Agreement Provides For Direct Wage Increases, Benefits NEW YORK ()--Three years of peace was agreed on yesterday for the nation's vital steel industry. The formal end of a crippling, 27-day strike will come next week. President Dwight D. Eisenhower promptly called the settlement "good news." reflecting the admin- istration's concern in an electio year over a continued tieup in such a vital industry. The pact reached by 12 major steel industries and the United Steelworkers calls for direct wage increases and other benefits for 650,000 workers. They will get an average direct wage boost of 10.5 cents an hour in the first year, 9.1 cents an hour more in the sec- ond year, and an additional 9.1 cents in the third year, an over- all total in wages of 28.7 cents. The old average wage was $2.46 an hour. - Estimates Value The union estimated the over- all value of the settlement at 45.6 cents an hour for the three years, with 20.3 cents allocated to the first year. The industry estimated the three-year package as worth 52 to 55 cents and somewhere around 24 cents of this in the first year. The union also won a 52-week layoff pay plan and a union shop clause. A settl price increase of from $10 to $12 on the present average of $130 a ton has been widely pre- dicted. This would increase the na.. tion's 14-billion-dollar steel bill by around a billion. The steel industry had sought a five-year union contract but re- duced it by stages to a three-year, no-strike term, still the longest contract ever reached in steel. In previous years even two-year contracts had an annual wage re- opening provision. There is none in this one, although a review every six months provides for a - cost of living increase if war- ranted. Must Sign Contracts Individual contracts between the companies and the union remain to be worked out in considerable detail. Until those contracts are signed, the steelworkers' presi- dent, David J. McDonald, said, the strike cannot be ended. He said it would take "several days" to complete those contracts, making a return to work impos. sible before sometime next week. Once the men abandon their picket lines, industry sources esti- mate it still will require from three to 10 days to get steel pouring out in anything approaching full volume. McDonald and John A. Stevens, chief industry negotiator, signed the settlement before a battery of still, movie and TV cameras. Minutes before, the union's Wage Policy Committee had given its sanction to the pact. Both Stevens and McDonald said they were "very happy" with their handiwork and McDonald the history of the steel industry." McDonald said he hoped it was the last time the steel industry would be shut down by a strike, and Stevens called it "a most un- fortunate dispute."

While Tearra del Fuego, inbthe Straits of Magellan, dug out of a sixteen inch snowfall, and the penguins of Antarctica shiver in the aftermath of fresh blizzards, the unfortunate summer student gasps for air and seeks out escape from near hundred degree weather.
