U.S. Opens
To Formosa
WASHINGTON, April 26 (IP)—The United States opened the door wider today for cease
fire talks with Red China—and backed away from its insistence that Chiang Kai-shek's Na
tionaliSts must be present at any meeting.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles took the position this country wants a cease-fire in
the Formosa area and doesn't care by what mechanics it is attained.
He said Rationalist China would
not have to be present at any
negotiations on a cease-fire. But
he said the Rationalists certainly
would be brought in ati, equal par
ticipants in any talks which
sought to dispose of any territory
in the area.
Dulles said the United States
intends to try to find out whether
Premier Chou En-lai of Red Chiha
is sincere in wanting a peaceful
Formosa settlement or is "merely
playing a propaganda game."
A Pakistan Embassy spokesman
disclosed later that a single com
munication to Dulles has been
transmitted from Prime Minister
Mohammed Ali on the Formosa
question. The message was said
to be along the lines of a state
ment Ali made yesterday after
conferring with Chou in Ban
dung. This said that negotiations
between Communist China and
the United States are still possible.
Acts as Buffer
The spokesman said Pakistan
might be described as acting as
an intermediary because of the
lack of diplomatic relations be
tween Communist China and the
United States.
The Dulles remarks at a news
conference contrasted 'in a major
respect with a statement put out
Saturday by Undersegretary of
State Herbert Hoover Jr. with the
approval 'of President Dwight D.
EisenhosVer. That statement, is
sued in response to Chou ' s bid for
talks with the United States to
"relax tensions" in* the Far East,
said:
Free China PariiciPalion
"Of course the United States
would insist on free China parti
cipating as an equal in any dis
cussions concerning the Formosa
area."
The Saturday statement was re
ported to have met a bad reaction
among some friendly nations and
in this country. Sen. George (D-
Ga.) said the absence of Nation
alist China from the confekence
table should not prevent Ameri
can peace talks with the Com
munists. The Nationalist regime
has turned thumbs down on the
idea of meeting With the Reds.
Movie Star Hayward
Makes Suicide Attempt
HOLLYWOOD, April 26 OM
Susan Hayward, one movie star
who always seemed to have. con
trol of herself, attempted suicide
today and almost succeded.
A recent tiff with her ex-hus
band over the upbringing of their
twin sons apparently had much to
do with the red-haired actress' de
spondency. Actor Jess Barker col
lapsed when he heard his former
wife had taken too many sleep
ing pills. He was in New Orleans
for a premiere of his latest pic
ture.
Reds OK Meeting
Of Ambassadors
MOSCOW. April 26 (.P)—The
Soviet Union agreed today to a
meeting of the Big Four am
bassadors in Vienna May 2, to
spell out final terms for an
Austrian state treaty.
This date was proposed by
Britain, France and the United
Staes. Austrian representatives
will take part.
In notes to the three West
ern powers, the Soviet govern
ment said it did not believe a
conference on the ambassador
ial level was necessary. It took
the position the Big Four for
eign ministers could quickly
settle the final d4tails and sign
the-long-delayed treaty.
But it added that since the
West wanted the ambassadors
to go over the ground first, the
Soviet government is agree
able. The ambassadors will Bic
the date for the foreign minis
toksi conference with top Aus
trian leaders.
Kefauver Hits Stall
On Bricker Treaty
WASHINGTON, April 26 (W)—Sen. Estes Kefauver (D.-Tenn.)
said today a White I# use decision to delay administration testimony
on the Bricker treaty amendment "will be interpreted as cringing
before a vocal Segment of the Republican party."
Kefauver said a decision to postpone "for the time being" testi
mony from Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles on the pro
posed constitutional amendment
"was made at the White House,
not in the State Department."
Kefauver, chairman of a Judi
ciary subcommittee which plans
to open hearings tomorrow on the
proposal by Sen. John W. Bricker
(R.-Ohio) said he was informed
of the postponement by the White
House..At the time, he added, the
decision was not known by the
State Department's congressional
liaison man, Asst. Secretary Thur
ston B. Morton.
President Eisenhower was asked
at a March 23 news conference
whether he had changed his views
On the Bricker amendment. His
reply: No.
He opposed it last year on the
ground that it would hinder his ,
conduct of foreign relations. A re
vised version was narrowly de
feated in the Senate. In brief, the
proposal would allow a treaty to
become effective as internal law
only through legislation Which
would be valid in the absence of
a treaty.
Dulles had said he would testi
fy tomorrow before Kefauver's
subcommittee, but the senator
said word then came from' the
White House of a change in plans.
'Pike' Extension
Wins Approval
HARRISBURG, April 26 (iP)—
Two more proposed extensions of
the mushrooming Pennsylvania
Turnpike Won unanimous approv
al in the Senate today and went
to the House.
The two bills call separately for
constructing a new east-west ex
tension from Stroudsburg to Shar
on and running a connecting link
from the western part of the pres
ent Turnpike to the West Virginia
State line.
The two extensions thus would
close the circuit of toll express
highways within Pennsylvania
and would link the Comm oh
irealth's pay-ad-you-drive high
way_with a fifth state when plans
are complete.
RAF Corporal Crashes Stolen Plane
VALENCIENNES, France (/11—
A young nearsighted British
Royal Air Force,corporal, un
licensed to pilot military aircraft,
crashed a stolen RAF trainer in
flames on two French houses near
here early today. The crash killed
four persons, including the cor
poral, and injured three others.
The flaming climax came after
a five-hour flying spree over Eng
land and France. The unauthor
ized flight started when the
heavy, twin-engine Vickers Var
sity took off dizzily last night
from the RAF's Thorney Island
Navigation School in Hampshire,
60 miles southwest of London. It
ended in the French coal mining
village of Vicq, near the Belgian
border, 175 miles southeast of
London.
The flier was identified by the
British Air Ministry as Nanik

More Money
In Farm Bill
WASHINGTON, April 26 (W)
The Senate shouted approval of a
big farm money bill today after
insisting by a 76-5 vote on provid
ing 55 million dollars more for
conservation payments than. the
administration had asked.
The unrecorded voice vote ap
proved an appropriation carrying
884 million dollars in new cash,
another 388 millions in loans and
other funds that would boost the
federal farm outlay above $1,400,-
000,000 for the 12 months begin
ning July 1.
The measure now goes back to
the House for consideration of
more than four million dollars in
Senate increases and a number of
other changes.
Sen. John Williams (R-Del.) led
a futile-effort to reduce the item
for conservation payments on
1956 crops from 250 to 195 mil
lion dollars, the amount recom
mended by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower and Secretary ,of Ag
ricultUre Ezra Taft Bensoti.;
These are the payments to farm
ers who comply with acreage re
ductions and conservation prac
tices.
Williams ran into some angry
protests from both Democrats and
Republicans. On the showdown
vote only Sens. Prescott S. Bush
(R.-Conn.), Carl T. Curtis (R-
Neb.), Allen Frear (D-Del.) and
Payne (R-Maine), voted with him
to cut out the 55 millions.

Committee Passes
Foreign Trade Bill
WASHINGTON, April 26 (W)—The Senate Finance Com
mittee approved President Dwight D. Eisenhower's liberal
ized foreign trade program tonight. It also recommended he
be given new power to protect national defense industries.
The vote on the controversial legislation, which has been
passed by the House, was 13-2. Sens. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla.)
and George W. Malone (R-Nev.),l
voted against it.
As approved by the committee,
the bill would extend the Recip
rocal Trade Agreements Act for
three years from June 12 and give
the. President authority to reduce
tariffs 15 per cent during that pe
riod in return for similar advan
tages in foreign markets. This is
what the administration asked.
Rejects Amendments
The committee rejected most of
the amendments which backers of
the Eisenhower trade program re
garded as • crippling. It refused to
write into the bill any of the so
called commodity amendments to
protect specific products from for
eign competition by the use of
import quotas or higher tariffs.
It did, howev Ir, accept a compro
mise proposal designed to head off
any such amendments when the
bill reaches the Senate floor next
week.
Compromise Proposed
The proposed compromise would
give the President authority to
curb imports, either by quotas or
increased tariffs, when the prod
ucts involved have the effect of
reducing national security.
Committee Chairman Harry F.
Byrd (D-Va.), said that with a
strong majority of the committee
united behind the bill he believed
there was a good chance to get it
through the Senate without any
damaging amendments.
A bloc of senators is still fight
ing hard, however, for rigid im
port quotas on fuel oils.
VA Guarantee
On Home Loan
To End Soon
WASHINGTON, April 26 (JP)—
The Veterans Administration said
today it plat,: to end soon its guar
antees of "no-no down payment"
home loans.
Asst. Dep u t y Administrator
Thomas J. Sweeney disclosed the
VA intention to the House Veter
ans Affairs Committee.
Sweeney took a somewhat con
servative view of the present soar
ing house-building rate, but said
the VA has no "drastic action"
plannea to slow things down.
Sweeney said he expects the
VA order "this week or the first
of next week" prohibiting the no
no down payment loans—a move
he said would have a "stabilizing
effect."
No-no down payment loans are
those in which a buyer not only
does not have to put any cash
down to buy a house, but also
does not have to put any cash in
to the usual settling costs.
don, a witness said. RAF Flight
Lt. Johnny Smiles of Thorney

' The corporal circled London,
banked and dipped as low as 20
feet to buzz houses. He criss
crossed commercial airlanes and
ignored Smiles' racjio appeals for
three hours. Then he headed to
ward the coast and Smiles was
forced to give up the chase.

Classes--
(Continued from page one)
scheduling pattern providiii i ., :or
the return to a full schedule of
Saturday classes was adopted last
fall.
Saturday classes do have cer
tain disadvantages, according to
Morse, but these are outweighed
by the advantages.
Morse lists as disadvantages:
1) The five-day week is gai-• lg
ground steadily in indust
the urban universities are follow
ing this trend.
Employes Work 3 Days
2) The non-academic staff at
the University is on 'a fivc
week and the teaching faculty on
a five-and-one-half day week.
3) A few students have week
end jobs in their home town and
depend on this income to finance
their college expenses.
4) Late dances on Friday nights
cut down on preparation for Sat
urday morning classes.
The advantages are listed as:
Classrooms Needed
1) The University is badly in
need of classroom and 1ab0rat......y
space and is urging the Common
wealth to add more. It is expee ed
to make the best use of its pre: 'IA
facilities and no amount of in
genuity can make as good use of
space in five days as in five-and
one-half.
2) Whether or not stud(nts
study over the weekend ti.ey
make better - ireparation when
class meetings are spread over to
Saturday morning.
3) Students can gain more from
the University in the way of "tit - it
something else" college offers by
staying at the University on week
ends.
Advantages at University
4) Students at the Univ:. -'ty
have a natural advantage r.-•er
students at urban univerr; . 3s
since they live together and are
not exposed to the distraction - 'lf
the city and it would be !of h
to throw this advantage awn: , by
returning to a five-day week.
Morse said he had_ disc• - 'd
Saturday morning classes w:"' a
number of student leaders a d
they have agreed that the evan
tages favor Saturday classes.
We can make Saturday cl7.sses
acceptable to the students, M- - -se
said, by .explaining "the pros
cons to those who entered
there were fewer classes on c' -t
-urday; and by being patient. Be
fore you know it Saturday classes
will be a sacred tradition,"
