Ambassador 'Abba Eban, Isri Assembly that Egypt, which has | cdncluded a deal for arms with Czechoslovakia, is conduct ing “macabre bargains in weap ons of death.” “In the name *bf our region’s threatened security we are movsd to appeal to all peace loving states to avoid rewarding Arab belligerency with arms; to ab stain from disturbing the military balance on which the peace of our region has precariously rest ed for seven years,” Eban said in the closing round of general de bate in the Assembly. Can't Understand “It is indeed hard to compre hend how any government which values its moral position can give or sell arms to governments whose primary international ob jective is to harass, besiege, in timidate, and if possible destroy a neighboring state with which they refuse to establish peace. “It certainly cannot be right eous for any power to do that which is wrong for another pow er to do Can it be assumed that Israel, or indeed any state, in like circumstances, would be content to wait passively while a hostile neighbor, asserting or practicing a state of war, strengthened him self for the decisive blow?” Israel Here to Stay Eban said Israel stands at the heart of the'Middle East and is there to stay. He urged the Arabs to join Israel in regional harmony and cooperation. The Arab answer was given by Ahmad El-Shukairy, Syria, who asasiled Israel as a “spring-board of imperialism.” He said that Israel “as a state has no room in our lands.” Shukairy proposed the Security Council set up a commission made up of the Unit ed States, Soviet Union and Iran to settle the problem of one mil lion refugees uprooted from Palestine.

Atom Scientists Unite To Harness H-Bomb WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (AO Top U.S. atomic scientists are joining forces at five research centers in an effort to harness the terrific power of the hydrogen bomb for peacetime energy pur poses. Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission announced this today. Scientists connected with the long-range program, known as Project Sher wood, said it holds the promise of supplying mankind with all the energy it will need for all time to come. Strauss told a news conference he is hopieful of success—perhaps within 20 years. The AEC chair man cautioned in a formal state ment, however: “Our work is in the research stage and many years of intensive effort may be required before the first' prototype of an operating thermonuclear machine may be developed. Every Intention “We have every intention of attacking as vigorously as possi ble the remaining problems.” He said some of the problems to be overcome are of “extreme difficulty.” Strauss disclosed that Project Still time... •> THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Red Victory Likely In Indonesia JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 3(A>) The Nationalist “Proletarian Front” tonight appeared headed for a smashing victory in Indo nesia’s first parliamentary elec tions. Its vote, mostly in Java alone, snowballed near the six million mark, with margins over three other major parties ranging up to two million. The Nationalists, whose basic policies dovetail with those of the Indonesian Communists, seem sure to capture a majority of the Parliament’s 260 seats. Java, the most populous of the republic’s 3000' islands, has 168 seats. The latest unofficial vote totals of the top four parties showed a surprising setback for the Moslem Masjumi party. The Nationalists had 5,788,850; the Moslem Orthodox Radicals, 4,399,378; the Communists, 4,089,- 273, and the Masjumi, 3,648,583. Most of these returns came from Java, with scatterings from parts. of Sumatra, the Celebes, Borneo, the Lesser Sundas and the Moluccas. Voting Started last Thursday and is to continue for weeks on outlying islands. The Masjumi, regarded as mod erate and right of center and in clined to be pro-West, was a pre election choice to win easily. The Nationalists led by former Prime Minister Ali Sastr/oamid jojo see eye-to-eye with the Reds on major issues. Sastroamidjojo’s government, forced out of office nine weeks ago, survived two years because it had. Communist parliamentary support. Sherwood, which seeks in effort to tame the terrible force un leashed when light atoms' fuse, has been under way since 1951 and now is being pressed forward at Princeton University; AEB laboratories operated by the Uni versity of California at Los Ala mos, N.M., and Livermore, Calif.; Oak Ridge, Tenn.,.and New York University. Strauss made no mention of Soviet Union claims that great progress has been made behind the Iron Curtain in controlled fusian development. Neither would he estimate the cost of the United States’ pro gram, beyond saying it is “quite a significant” sum. He said the size of the project increased ten-fold between 1953 and 1954, and fore cost the present program will be doubled in scope difring the next fiscal year. The basic problem is causing the nuclei or centers of some light element, such as deuterium, to fuse—so that a heavier element is created and at the same time considerable energy is liberated. This fusion already can be brought about—but only with unparalled explosive fore e—in hydrogen weapons. No Mention Made to remember her French Cancel PARIS, Oct. 3 (JP) —Premier Edgar Faure and Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay canceled today a scheduled “courtesy and friend ship visit” to Moscow. The explanation was that the atmosphere is not favorable now for this type of trip. The French action reflected the- bitterness in Paris at what Peron Plans Eventual Return To Homeland ASUNCION, Paraguay, Oct. 3 (A*) —Juan D. Peron implied today he plans to return someday to his Argentine homeland. Until then, he said, he is through with poli tics. “I will not move a finger in political affairs, but will live a purely private life as Juan Peron,” the deposed dictator said in a handwritten statement to a group of newsmen who asked an inter view. “When I do indulge in political affairs,” he added, “I will return to my country.” , The former Argentine strong man, who arrived here yesterday to begin a life in exile, gave no idnication when he might try to go back home. He fled to the Paraguayan embassy in Buenos Aires for asylum 14 days ago in the face of a successful revolt within Argentine armed forces against his regime. Then he moved to a Paraguayan gunboat docked on the Buenos Aires a terfront. Because of his circum stances, Peron’s note said, he is unable to make “any political declaration or publicity” while in Paraguay. (and Bermuda) Dungaree Drag Saturday, Oct. 8 9 lo 12 Sponsored by Cwens HUB Music by Jack Huber and His Orchestra Dignitaries Russian Trip was apparently considered a gra tuitous blow to French prestibe in. the United Nations General Assembly’s vote to discuss the Algerian situation. In Moscow, Communist party boss Nikita S. Khrushchev, in ef fect the spokesman for world communism, announced the So viet Union supports the inde pendence movement in North Af rica. He called it the “national liberation” movement. The Soviet Union—and world communism— for years has sponsored “national liberation movements” in all areas of the colonial world, using such support as a potent cold war weapon among underdeveloped people. The official French announce ment said the visit of Faure and Pinay to Moscow, planned for Oct. 14 to 16, was put off to a future date. Putting off the trip was part of the aftermath of a vote in the U.N. Assembly to debate the situ ation in Algeria. Russia voted with the majority in the 28-27 vote. France maintains Algeria is an integral part of metropolitan France and that the subject is purely an internal matter, falling outside the competence of the U.N. In protest, France began a boycott of the Assembly. As a further development, the Foreign Ministry tonight an nounced that French ambassa dors in most countries which voted for the Algerian discussion in the Assembly have been in structed to call the attention of these nations to the effect the vote might have on future rela tions with France. . with TELEGRAMS!
