And for just as many years the Collegian’s retort was that TIM didn’t do anything worth writing about. But now it .is different. TIM has been written about and talked about not because of good publicity agents but be cause it has been one of the busiest individual governing body on the campus. Its first big move was to suggest to the As sociation of Independent Men a plan to buy a block of 30 Community Concert tickets to be placed on sale prior to each concert and then to carry the plan through. And its most recent endeavor has been to organize the push car race for the purpose of helping Campus Chest out of the red. Good ideas do not come easily and TIM should be proud. At the same time TIM boasts the largest membership of the individual student govern ing groups it must admit it is the weakest in unity. For there is little to bind a group of 3151 men living in separate houses, eating in Safety Valve... Favors Book Store TO THE EDITOR: In regard to the “editorial” in Friday’s Collegian regarding a University book store, we are very much in agreement with the Engineering Student Council and the other three organizations which have gone on record in favor of a University book store for the following reasons: 1) If properly planned, it would reduce crowd ed conditions at the beginning of the semester. 2) It would reduce the cost of books to the student, even though the retail price was charged, because a 10 per cent discount in the form used by the Book Exchange could be given and would be appreciated by all. Even with this discount there would be an adequate amount of profit to cover all expenses. It is a well known fact that most small col leges, including state teachers colleges, have their own self-supported book stores. In the light of these reasons, we think Miss Hudgins has put very little thought on the subject when she wrote the “editorial,” and feel that she should consult someone in the College of Busi ness about the financial feasibility of such a project —Robert F. Cyphers —Harry Grant Eichenmiller Republican Bill For Sales Tax Reaches House HARRISBURG, Dec. 2 W—A Republican-sponsored bill pro posing a 3 per cent state sales tax using Ohio’s stamp plan reached the House today. Introduced at a brief session by Rep. W. W. Waterhouse (R-Erie) “strictly on my own,” the meas ure was sent to the Democratic controlled Ways and Means Com mittee. Gov. George M. Leader and top Democrats are flatly committed against a sales levy. Kessler Opposes Levy In another development, Chair man Edward J. Kessler (R-Lan caster) of the Senate Finance Committee said two days of hear ings on the governor’s 3%% manufacturers’ excise tax failed to change his own opposition to the 400 million dollar levy. “Although I’m concerned, I’m still against the tax,” he said. “But the decision on whether to sup port it is up to the Republican Policy Committee.” Policy Makers to Meet GOP policy makers will meet here Sunday night in a session that may decide the fate of the House-passed measure. Kessler said his own committee act in accordance with whatever directive is received from the GOP policy unit. Food bought for off premises consumption and anything used in agricultural production are among a host of exemptions call ed for in the bill. Clothing, how ever, would be taxable.

Averell Harriman of New York said tonight the Geneva con ference enabled Russia to achieve a “major political breakthrough.” In an address prepared for de livery at a dinner of the New Or leans Foreign Policy Assn., Har riman said that because of the gains made by Russia through the Geneva conference "the lines of the great alliance of free peo ples have been seriously breach ed. “Our immediate and urgent task is .to reform our lines and regain the initiative. There is a dangerous and fast-moving situ ation in Asia and the other un derdeveloped areas of the world.” Harriman, considered a leading candidate by many for the Demo cratic presidential nomination, said he would touch only briefly on the way the Republicans handled foreign policy issues be cause he said the meeting was “a nonpolitical gathering.” Bullet Proof Glass Set In President's Windows GETTYSBURG, Pa., let-proof glass has been installed in the windows of President Eis enhower’s temporary office in the Gettysburg post office.

Interpreting the News Russia Invades Indian Neutrality By J. M. Robert* Associated Press News Analyst The crudity with which Messrs. Khrushchev and Bulganin turned their Indian goodwill tour into an anti-Western campaign is reported to have embarrassed Prime Minister Nehrii and other. Indian officials. They laid out the red carpet for the visitors from Moscow, only to see them walk all over the lawn anyway India is trying hard to estab lish her neutral position in the world. It’s a neutrality with left ist leanings and sympathy for Russia because Russia, too, pro fesses to be against coloiiialism. But India constantly offers her self as a mediator of disputes. To have, her promises used as the base of attack by invective violates her position as a friend of all. Nehru, who Is so much "Mr. India" that his actions usually receive only praise, has been criticised by part of the Indian press for getting the country - into such . a position, and for his extreme efforts to glorify the Russian visit. His mobili sation of vast children's demon strations has been questioned as producing indoctrination during an impressionable period which may bode ill for the country later. For one of the strange factors in the Indian position is the firm stand taken by the government against domestic Communists while playing foot sie with them in the inter national field. It’s as though Nehru is willing to take chances abroad, for the sake of embarrassing the West, with something he will not put up with at home. There is evidence, however, that the Khrushchev-Bulganin visit has worked in reverse both for them and for Nehru. Right at this moment relations with the Indian government, which is firmly en renched, would seem to be more important with the Indian people. But the visitors seem to have made more progress with the people, while causing, offiicals to look a great deal more closely at Russian motives. Nehru would like to balance between Russia and the West without getting his people involved. The Russians have moved on into Burma with their anti- Western line, and may find it unprofitable there, too. My mother used to say that people who kept their mouths open all the time ran the risk of letting others find out too much about what was on their minds.

DECEMBER 3. 1955 By Bibler Twelve Killed In British Train Crash BARNES, England, Dec. 2 (aS —A flaming train wreck killed at least 12 persons and injured 50 here tonight. A speeding electric train packed with homeward-bound theatergo ers and late workers crashed into a standing freight train and caught fire near the station of this suburban town, eight miles west of London’s center. Victims screamed as they fought to es cape. Rescue crews pulled out 10 bodies. Police said they 'believed the death toll would be at least 12. The front coach hit the rear car of the freight under a steel road bridge, left the rails, overturned and burst into flames. The im pact had shorted the car’s power circuit. The short sent sparks soaring into the sky like rockets. Firemen fought the fire from the bridge, with flames at times reaching 40 feet above their heads and lighting the sky for miles around. The girders of the bridge glowed red hot and melted tar ran across its roadway in the half hour before the fire was brought under control. Police Constable Thomas Oli ver, 45, was one of the heroes of the disaster. With a police ser geant, he arrived on the scene as flames were beginning to take hold of the front coach.
