Tiny TIM Sets the Pace
Since its inception Town Independent Men
has complained to the Collegian that it did not
get enough publicity. 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

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

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.

Chicago Labor
Leader Denied
Hearing at Capitol
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 </P)
A Chicago labor union leader,
flanked by armed bodyguards,
appeared at the Capitol today in
an attempt to purge himself of
contempt. But he was denied an
immediate hearing and his guards
were stripped of their weapons.
Angelo Inciso, president of Lo
cal 286 of the AFL United Auto
Workers, sought to testify before
a Senate Labor subcommittee in
vestigating union welfare funds.
He had ignored two subpoenas
and the committee cited him for
contempt.
Inciso, who says he feiars for
his life, picked up two Washing
ton private detectives as body
guards on his arrival at the air
port from Chicago. When he and
the guards reached the Capitol,
police took away their guns.
Khrushchev Hits
Western Traditions
RANGOON, Burma, Dec. 2 (/P)
—Russia’s Nikita S. Krushchev
broke through a devout silence
among meditating Buddhists to
day with an outburst against
Americans, British and French
people and traditions.
The setting was the Shwe Da
gon Pagoda, 2500 years old and
the foremost of Burmese shrines.
Worshippers traditionally pre
serve silence there.

various boarding places, restaurants, and snack
bars, and majoring in many curricula.
In common, the members of TIM have only
their sex.
Being a Town Independent Man involves no
coercion, carries no particular glory, and offers
little material or social gain.
If this does not indicate, it certainly should
hint strongly that what holds the workers of
TIM together is the desire o work on worth
while projects for the good of the University in
general and for the betterment of individual
students in particular.
Good ideas developed from unselfish motives
by hard workers deserve commendation.
From TIM we turn to other student groups—
most particularly those whose charters explain
they are primarily service groups, those whose
ties are socially, scholastically, and geographic
ally stronger.
Have they served the University—the indi
vidual student, or even themselves to the ex
tent that TIM has done? Or is TIM unique in
its speedy growth?

Harriman Cites
Russian Gain
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2 </P>
Gov. 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.”

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.

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.
