Fine's Office Must Clear State Government News HARRISBURG, Feb. 12 (TP)— Gov. John S. Fine ordered today that his office must clear all but “purely routine” news releases of state government activities. He insisted, however, that no censorship was involved in the ruling. “The order is not ' a form of censorship for the press,” he said. “Newspapermen will be free to come and go as always. The de partments will cooperate with them on any department activi ty ” The action, he told newsmen, was taken to block a practice by government underlings “to lobby through newspaper publicity for pet legislation.” His directive to department and agency heads, however, made no mention of legislation.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA U.S. Is Highly Gratified. Anthony Eden, in announcing the Sudanese accord in Britain’s House of Commons, said it was a reasonable settlement of this question which , has “long be deviled our relations with Egypt.” Press Officer Michael J. McDer mott of the U.S. State Depart ment said in Washington the Unit ed States is highly gratified.. He termed, this “an event of great importance, representing as it does agreement on an issue which has been the cause of great com plications' in. relations between the two countries for several dec ades.” Here in Cairo, U.S. Ambassador Jefferson Caffery drew praise from for his mediation efforts. “It was through Ambassador Caffery’s good offices,” the Pre mier said, “that many difficult points were ironed out. These had a' direct effect on the successful conclusion of this agreement.” Naguib and Stevenson Naguib, the strong man who seized control of Egypt’s govern ment seven months ago, and Am bassador Sir Ralph Stevenson, a British career diplomat, took up together today the issues that have been a source of bickering and occasional bloodshed for years. rect all' public directors, effec tive immediately, to clear all pro posed newspaper releases other than purely routine matters and all - material prepared for maga zines, radio, television and other information . media through this office.” Reaction of state publicity di rectors was one of confusion. One, who declined quotation by-name, said he was riot sure if the new press policy applied only to news releases or whether reporters wanting to ask specific questions from officials would first have to submit them to the Governor’s office. . James S. Lyons, president of the Pennsylvania News paper Publishers Association and gen eral manager of the Washington, Pa., Observer and Reporter; said he wanted “clarification” of the Fine order before the PNPA took a formal stand. Unite or Perish Says Dulles WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (JP)— Secretary of State- Dulles said to night Western European' nations must move promptly toward uni ty or risk peril beyond American power to save them. In a radio TV report to the American people on his recent survey trip to the continent, .Dul les said that failure to unite, “has so weakened the Western Euro pean countries that today no one of them could offer strong resis tance to the Red Army.” “Nothing that the United States can do will ever be 'enough to make Europe safe if it is divided into rival national camps,” he said. Dulles did not go so far as he has done previously in hinting that American aid to Europe might be curtailed if unity efforts continue to lag. But he did say that without con crete evidence of real progress “future planning will be diffi cult.” Dulles, accompanied ,by Mutual Security- Director Harold Stassen, returned Monday from confer ences with European leaders in seven countries. The talks were devoted largely to urging prompt action on the defense treaty. Dulles had cautioned earlier that unless the European Allies act soon, the U.S. might have to review its Whole program of aid, which comes up soon for renewal in the new Republican-dominated Congress. “We have not been trying to impress an American scheme on Europe, but to support the plans of the European leaders them selves,” Dulles said. Ike Avoids Affairs Of Partisan Labor WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 —(TP) President Eisenhower seems to be making a studied effort to keep the White House out of partisan labor problems. Signs have already developed in the little more than three weeks Eisenhower has been ,in office that he is trying to keep his administration from mixing up in labor-management affairs as much as possible. i ROBERT TAYLOR ABOVE AND BEYOND « —FEATURETIME— -12:30, 2:43, 4:56, 7:09, 9:32 sm TYRONE POWER MISSISSIPPI GAMBLER —FEATURETIME— -1:44, 3:40, 5:36,- 7:32, 9:32 17 CARTOONS ♦ ' CpNTINUOUS FROM Gfls p.m. Israelis See Break With Red Satellites TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 12 (£>)—lsraelis close to the Foreign Office assumed today that all Communist bloc countries in Eastern Europe, with the possible exception of Bulgaria, will quickly follow Moscow’s lead in breaking diplomatic relations with this infant Middle East nation. Western diplomats speculated that the rupture was part of a growing two-year campaign of Soviet hostility in an effort to win Arab friendship. There were hints from Moscow that it was part of a buildup for an internal campaign against “Zionists” that may come to a head soon in a trial of nine doc tors accused of killing two Soviet leaders and plotting to do away with many others. Officially,' Moscow gave as a reason for the break the bomb ing of the Soviet legation here Monday in which the wife of So viet Minister Pavel I. Yershov and two legation employees were in jured. But the tenor of unofficial comment here was that this was only the most superficial reason. Many Israeli citizens without the least evidence even com mented that the bombing may have been the work of Soviet provocators to provide an excuse for the rupture. Some unofficial circles express ed satisfaction that the incident would definitely place Israel in the camp of Western democratic nations and make her deserving of more economic help and arms to strengthen her position in a hos tile Arab world. Some believed that opposition to the numerically small Communist party here would now be more pronounced. Be Sure to See . . .
