Report Color 'Good'

walked today for the first time since his heart attack Sept. 24.

Eisenhower's color was "good" and hit voice firm.
Signal Alerts
Jet Fighters
In Fake Test
WASJUNGTON, Oct. 25 (2)- 7 .
A signal flashed across the coun
try at 8:28 a.m. today, sending
jet fighters of the Air National
Guard aloft to meet a theoretical
enemy bombing force.
Thousands of National Guards
men rushed from their civilian
jobs to take part in the practice
ale 4, called "Operation Stop
wataV
Two FoH Starfire jets took off
from a White Plains, . N.Y., air
base four minutes after the alert
sounded. They were followed by
six others.
A fighter interceptor squadron
attached to the Andrews Air
Force Base in nearby Maryland
was in the air 10 minutes after
receipt of the warming signal
from the Air Defense Command
headquarters at Colorado Springs,
Colo. The squadron is one of
those assigned to protect the na
tional capital.
The_ Air National Guard an
nounced Oct. 6 that a practice
alert would be held sometime
during this month, but the date
was kept secret. The• purpose of
the test, the Air Defense Com
mand said , . was "to 'establish the
time required to alert, man and
employ the air national guard
after a state of air defense readi
ness had been declared."

It was only a step or two at .a
time that the chief executive took,
back and forth from his hospital
bed 'to an easy chair. But it was
the beginning of a program, set by
his doctors % which is expected to
result in his walking to an east,.
bOund plane in perhaps another
fortnight.
Eisenhower had reached the
stage' in his recovery where pho
tographers were invited to make
the first close-up shots of the
President since his Illness,' with
a lone representative of the White
House press corps standing by.
That was on the sun-splashed
terrace outside Eisenhower's
eighth floor quarters at Fitzsi
mons Army Hospital.
The "pool" reporter present,
Garnett D. Horner of the Wash
ington Evening Star, told his col
leagues:
"He looked just about the same
to me. The only thing I noticed
was that his hands were a little
thin, but that would be explained
byhis losing four pounds of
weight."
Perhaps, he said, the thinner
hands were "my imagination." He
said he could detect no signs of
loss of weight in Eisenhower's
face, which looked about the
same as in the week before the
President was hospitalized.
British Diplomat
Disclosed As
Security . Spy
LONDON, Oct. 25 (JP)—A La
borite MP today named a former
British diplomat in Washington
as the shadowy third man whose
last minute warning gave SOviet
spies Guy Burgess and Donald
Maclean time enough to escape
behind the Iron Curtain.,
Lt. Col. Marcus Lipton touched
off an uproar in the House of
Commons by charging that Harold
Philby, then first secretary of the
Washington Embassy, gave the
tip off just as a" security net was
closing in on.the two Foreign
Office • diplomats.
Burgess and Maclean .disap
peared May 12, 1951, after Brit
ish intelligence learned they had
been for a long time espionage
agents for the Kremlin: Both men
had access to key Western secrets.

Egyptian Arms
Deal With Reds
Is $BO Million
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (AI—
Earpt's arms deal with the Com
munist bloc is reported to total
$BO million with individual wea
pons priced at about one :tenth to
one fifth of what Western coun
tries would charge.
Diplomatic officials who report
ed this today said they understood
the Egyptians have contracted to
buy some 200 Soviet MIG jet
fighters, 100 Russian tanks, half
a dozen submarines and sizable
quantities df artillery. .
The cut rate prices agreed to
by the Communists are reported
to be virtually unprecedented.
They are understood to be far be
low the price Red China has been ,
forced, to pay for similar Soviet
equipment.
The first shipment of these
Communist weapons, agreed upon
in a deal between Egypt and Cze
choslovakia nearly a month ago,
has already arrived in Egypt from
the Soviet port of Odessa, infor
mants said. Additional boatloads
are set to follow in the near fu
ture.
To make It as painless as pos
sible for the Egyptians, the Com
munists are said to be asking only
$50,000 for each MIG fighter.
Prices for Soviet submarines,
these informants said, are 1% mil
lion dollars apiece. The cost for
tanks. artillery and other weapons
included in the deal is reported
to be equally low.

South Boosts Ohio Governor
For Democratic Nomination
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (A')—Ohio's Governor Frank Lausche
got a political boost from two Southern Democrats today. Their
words indicated a possible Dixie challenge to Adlai E. Stevenson
and other potential top contend
ers far the Demqcratic presi
dential nomination.
Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga),
who ran unsuccessfully for the
nomination Stevenson won in
1952, said he thinks Lausche could
become "a very formidable candi
date because he represents a
middle-of-the-road viewpoint in
the Democratic party."
Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark)
said in a separate interview that
if any kind of deadlock develops
at next August's party conven
tion, Lausche might easily attract
southern support.
Lausche, five-term governor
who has not always worked close
ly with his party's organization,
said in New York he was grateful
for Russell's praise.
Lausche has indicated he may
bid for a "favorite son" designa
tion giving him control of Ohio's

STRIKE UP THE BAND!
Learning the words of all the latest popular songs—u anyone
must who wants to amount to anything on campus— becomes
more and more difficult. Take last night. I had the radio on
for no more than five minutes, and in that time heard two brand
spanking new songs—a jump tune called Rock With Me, Hymie
and a hillbilly ballad called They're Hanging Ralph T. Sigafoos
at Cock-crow.
And that's the way it goes. New tunes are absolutely flooding
the market. No wonder you're having trouble memorizing all
the lyrics.
But you don't have to be dull about it. I mean, when a song is
Playing and you don't know the lyrics, don't just stand there
singing dum, dum, de, dem or la, la, la or gown rooons. That is
very dull. Pick more interesting syllables—like slimp pans or
kreteh dinkle or mlath roke.
Take, for instance, That Old Black Magic. Let's say you
forgot some of the lyrics. Try singing this :
That old kretch dinkls
Has me in its mlath,
That old kretch dinkle,
That I slimp so gone,
Those icy dinkles
Running down my aimp,
That old kretch dinkle
When your roke meets mine ... etc.
See? Interesting? What did I tell you?
But knowing the lyrics—or interesting substitutes—is not nearly
enough. To really rate on campus, you must also be acquainted
with odd and interesting facts about the composers. For example:
1. Irving Berlin's name spelled backwards is Gnivri Nilreb.
2. Rodgers and Hammerstein can only write music while
whitewashing a fence.
3. Ludwig von Beethoven's hobby was collecting cold sores.
4. One of our greatest songs was written because the wife
of an impecunious composer came home one afternoon with a
canteloupe and a dog named Lassie. "Why did you bring home a
canteloupe and a dog named Lassie?" said the composer to his
wife. "For the baby." she replied. The composer grew angry.
"Here we are flat broke," he cried, "and you come home with
a melon for the baby, a collie for the baby !" Suddenly, struck by
an inspiration, he rushed to the piano and wrote illelaschay
Baby.
5. Cole Porter writes all his songs with a popsicle stick on
the side of a horse.
6. Hoagy Carmichael'a hobby is spelling Irving Berlin's name
backwards.
And what does the true music lover smoke? Why, Philip Morris,
of corris! Why? Because Philip Morris is a song of a cigarette—
a veritable symphony, a melody serene, a tone poem, a cantata,
a lied, a chansonette, a fugue of one gentle puff upon another,
allegro yet doles, lively, mild, harmonious.
That's why.
To old Max's statements, the makers- to/ Nadi, Morris, sponsors of
this cabmen, add this second thorns: Try today's gende Philip Morrie
in the bright new red, white and gold peek.
54 presidential nominating votes.
The Ohio governor has been
mentioned in the past as a pos
sible recipient of support from
Southern Democrats who rallied
lbehind Russell in 1952. Russell's
praise of Lausche took on added
significance in this respect.
