The roll call cleared the way for a vote-probably today-on a key amendment to strip the bill of all its enforcement powers except those protecting voting rights. Change Sponsored Minority Leader Sen.

Largest blaze in the territory is a 640,000-acre fire at Holkachuck, 400 miles northwest of Anchorage. The fires in the McGrath dis- trict are continuing out of con- trol. At Lake Iliamna, 150 miles southwest of Anchorage, a 40,000 acre blaze, thought to have been brought under control last week, broke out again over the week- end. The flames are being whipped by a 40-mile-an-hour wind. National forests of Alaska cover a total area of more than 21 mil- lion acres and are estimated to contain more than 85 billion board feet of saw timber. About 75 per cent of Alaskan timber is western hemlock and 20 per cent Sitka spruce. The re- mainder is largely western red ce- dar and Alaskan cedar. Abe Lincoln Set Course -Barn ett KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (A)-A de- fense leader in the Clinton trial said yesterday Abraham Lincoln se the course for .tle South0to reuse to obey the United States Supreme Court's 1954 edict against segregating whites and Negroes in the natiows public schools. Ross Barnett of Jackson, Miss., a former president of the Missis- sippi Bar Assn., made the state- ment as both sides presented final arguments in the 11-day-old Clin- ton segregation trial. Before Barnett spoke, United States District Attorney John C, Crawford. Jr.. urged the all-white jury to cling to the facts and not be swayed by emotional appeals. The case, described by defense lawyers as a "cause celebre" with history-making ramifications, cen- ters on the government's charges that 10 residents of Clinton, Tenn., conspired with John Kasper, 27, New Jersey-born segregationist] leader, to violate a federal anti- violence injunction. On trial in United States Dis- trict Court, the defendants are ac- cused of criminal contempt for allegedly fomenting disorders in- terfering with the court-ordered integration of Clinton High School last. fall. Waving his arms and shouting, Barnett told the jury: "The Bible teaches us to segre- gate. It teaches us not to mix the seed. Just because the Supreme Court told us to desegregate doesn't mean we'll live to see it. The Constitution is above the Supreme Court."t * * * * * * * Egypt Promises To Accept World Court Suez Decision Dulles Asks Disarming Acceptance WASHINGTON (R) - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said yesterday the problem of con- trolling atomic-hydrogen weapons "may soon become totally unman- ageable" unless Western countries and Russia agree on a first-step disarmament pact. "As matters are going the time will come," he said, "when the pettiest and most irresponsible dictator could get hold of weapons with which to threaten immense harm." Dulles appealed to Russia's lead- ers to accept the West's disarma- ment proposals to ease the "grim future" facing mankind. Secretary Said The secretary laid down these views in a disarmament policy speech which was said to have been personally "cleared and ap- proved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Dulles' 30-minute report to the nation, partly aimed at answering; Soviet propaganda attacks, was for nationwide radio-television broadcasts. Dulles reaffirmed and solidly iacked the liumited. disarmament. proposals advanced by Harold Stassen, chief American disarma- ment delegate, in months of nego- tiation with Soviet representatives and others at London. No Concessions The secretary offered no new; concessions in his speech but ex- pressed guarded optimism over prospect of East-West agreement, saying the Soviet delegation "has been talking with somewhat more realism and less bombast." Dulles' main aim seemed to be to jog Russia into some conces- sions which might make a limited, disarmament agreement possible.- "The whole world faces a grim1 future if war threat is not brought under some international control,"< he said.z ENGLISH CONFERENCE: Superior' Tag Stirs Controversy By ERNEST ZAPLITNY- Accelerated reading classes are a new trend in high schools which has been felt only "within the past four or five years" Alma Fleming of Denby High School, Detroit, re- ported in a panel discussion here last night. Mrs. Fleming was joined by Jean Reynolds of Ann Arbor High' School and John E. Graves of Detroit's Northeastern High School on "Literature for the Superior Student," fifth in the Conference Series for English Teachers. Prof. Robert C. Angell of the Sociology deparmtent was chairman. "As teachers we can't assume that all superior students neces- sarily possess good reading skills,"' Mrs. Fleming advised. Lists Abilities She listed abilities to distinguish the unimportant in a selection; to judge validity of the author's arguments; and to think from the author's point of view as objectives of the accelerated reading class in her school. The class is made up mostly of invited students who have demon- strated reading ability during their first two years of high school. It is in addition to the regular curriculum and is open to students not ordinarily regarded as "su- perior.". Class material is drawn largely from magazines of recognized quality supplemented by mimeo- graphed material supplied by the teacher. Disagreement on the criterion of a "superior" student developed between the other two panel mem- bers. Cites Tests Miss Reynolds cited a group test proving above average intelligence and a reading test indicating rapid reading ability as generally ade- quate in the determination. She classed as superior a student who had an I.Q. of 130 or more and whose reading speed was equal to that of a college sophomore. She urged a selective reading course including biographies, dra- ma and poetry "small 'enough so -aly-Richaru Bow ENGLISH PANEL-John E. Graves, Jean Reynolds, Prof. Robert C.

Students Recognizable She advised against an attempt to cover the chronological span of great literature. Graves cited what he termed the "critical faculty" as separating the superior s t u d e n t from those -"merely literate or ambitious." Britain Helps OilSultanate Crush Revolt LONDON (A') - Britain agreed last night to help the Sultan of Muscat and Oman crush a revolt in the oil-rich Persian Gulf area. The government made the deci- sion in the face of warnings from Laborites that Britain may be heading into another crisis in the Middle East and another conflict of interests with the United States. Foreign Secretary Selwyn/Lloyd accused "outside" forces of stirring up the revolt against the Sultan and defended Britain's right to answer a friend's call for assist- ance-with troops if necessary. Lloyd told the House of Com- mons 4"small-scale precautionary movements of our forces have already taken place" - but "no British troops are, as far as I am aware, at the moment on Muscat soil." / British commanders in the Arabian Penisula were consulting with the Sultan on the best way to help him, Lloyd said, and "have been given discretion within cer- tain limits to take military action." Four of the Royal Air Force's biggest troop-carrying planes were rushed to the Middle East yester- day. The Air Ministry said the trans- ports would "undertake whatever airlift may be required." Two were sent to the Arabian Peninsula and two to Nairobi, in Keya, East Africa. He said such students are recog- nizable by skepticism "with a touch of cynicism." Many are "embit- tered, impaient, disgusted," he said. "The superior student needs desperately to understand the weakness and foibles of man, and yet-love him," Graves stressed, and counselled teachers to give guid- ance in what he called the "hu- manizing" process. The standard anthologies are sufficient literature for all stu- dents, he said. He was opposed to separating the superior students, claiming they would read more without "bludgeoning." In reply to a question from the chairman, Graves named "res- p6nse" and advised no more than a vocabulary test "as a measure of alertness' to identify superior stu- dents. Contestants Nveed Proof LONG BEACH, Calif. OP) - It will take more than a pair of big blue eyes and a symmetrical form to enter next year's Miss Universe contest. It will also take a birth certi- ficate -and other personal records. Pageant officials disclosed yes- terday they are definitely plan- ning to tighten entrance require- ments in an effort to avoid the embarrassing developments that. followed selectipn of Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe at the pageant. The judge's choice for Miss U.S.A. turned out to be married- twice - and Miss Universe turned out to be only 17, whereas contest rules require all entrants to be unmarried and 18. Although the married Miss U.S.A., Mrs. Leona Gage Ennis of Maryland, was disqualified, off i- cials let Gladys Zender, the young senorita from Peru, keep her Miss3 Universe crown. Canal Tilt Airing Seen By Hague Egyptians Nab Israeli Sailor Aboard Vessel UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. ()- The United Nations announced yesterday that Egypt has accepted jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice in disputes aris- ing out of the operation of the. Suez Canal. Mahmoud Fawzi; foreign minis- ter of Egypt, told Secretary Gen- eral Dag Hammarskjold of his government's 'decision in a com- munication dated July 18. The United Nations said the Egyptian decision will be trans- mitted to the international court at the Hague. Obstacle Removed Egypt's action removed one ma- jor obstacle to agreement on op- eration of the canal. It means that Egypt has con- sented to go before the world court, in case a dispute arises Qver the canal, on the condition that the other parties in the dispute also recognize the court's Juris- diction. Fawzi said th% court waecog- nized by Egypt "in all legal dis- putes that may arise under" an Egyptian declaration of April 24. Declaration Said The declaration said the canal would be kept open in accord with the convention of Constantinople of 188 and would be operated by and Egyptian authority. The convention makes the canal an international waterway open to shipping of all nations. The April 24 declaration also said steps would be taken for re- ferring disputes to the interna- tional court. Fawzi's communica- Lion was the next step. Court Operates The court at the Hague operates by mutual consent of nations in- volved in casees. Even though a nation might agree to court jurisdiction, it is not bound by a decision and there is no power to enforce rulings. Nations may accept an entire ruling or take exceptions to parts of it. Egyptian authorities yesterday allowed a Danish freighter to en- ter the Suez Canal with cargo for Israel but arrested a sailor on the ship. They identified the sailor as Rafi Eilon, an Israeli, and said he had boarded the Birgitte Toft at the Israeli port of Eilat, on the Aqaba Gulf, to replace a regular crewman who was stricken ill.

Gunderson Will ]Lecture, 'Desperate Hours' Open JAPANESE ART: YosidaDemonstrates I Wood Block Printing By CARL JORDAN Hodaka Yoshida explained three major steps involved in the Japa- nese art of making wood block prints last night in Rackham, and showed several samples of the results. Yoshida is the son of Hiro'shi Yoshida, outstanding promoter of the ancient art. Hodaka was accompanied at the lecture by his wife >dressed in traditional costume and " mother, now a widow. tS T onight In the wood block process, a de- sign is carved in wood, water color is applied and paper is rubbed onto the block. The first step is drawing the de- sign and pasting it on the wood block. It is rubbed and the im- pression is transferred. Then the carving begins with specialized chisel like tools. In the old traditional method, cherry wood is used, and it often took three weeks to make the cutting. The final step is the printing which is just as e'xacting as draw- ing and carving. Water color is spread on the block with brushes especially made from a horsetail, and softened by rubbing on sharkskin. The paper is then placed on top of the block and rubbed either with the hand or a special tool made of fibre which Yoshida said is stronger than steel. i JOE WILLIAMS, TOO: Basie Swing Session Slated for Tomorrow Count Basie, his orchestra, and vocalist Joe Williams are set to perform in Hill Auditorium to- morrow.
