Given Dismissal
AMMAN, Jordan, March 2 (4))
—Lt. Gen. John Bagot Glubb,
dismissed from the Jordan com
mand he had held 25 years, left
this country abruptly today—a
symbol of Britain's plummeting
prestige in the Middle East.
Young King Hussein, reported
ly under strong anti-Western na
tionalist pressure, fired Glubb as
army chief without warning yes
terday, and announced his act to
his .people today.
Jordan's government informed
London the dismissal was not in
tended to affect friendly relations
with the British, but it raised
doubts and fears there and in
Washington. It wa s regarded
throughout the Middle East as a
blow to the West.
Glubb, his family and two oth
er ranking British officers of the
Arab Leg i o n—the 20,000-man
army Glubb had built from un
disciplined tribesmen—were tak
en under guard of 16 tanks to the
airport this morning. They flew
off to Cyprus, an overnight stop
en route to London.
'Non Violator'
Pays Speed Fine
PASSAIC, N.J., March 2 (IP)
"I never violate the law," Thom
as Hawes, of Garfield, told Mag
istrate H. Dick bohen today.
Cohen then read three speeding
convictions from the back of
Hawes' license, and fined him $55
for speeding 60 miles an hour
down a city street here. He also
revoked Hawes' license for 90
days.
When the magistrate finished,
Hawes said he left something out
in his original statement and, "I
never violate the law intention
ally."
Senator Criticizes Theory
Behind Ike Farm Program
WASHINGTON, March 2 (IP)—Sen. Earle C. Clements
(D-Ky.) said today the basic theory underlying the Eisenhow
er administration's farm program is that "there are too many
farmers."
Asserting the Agriculture Department has tried "to re
duce the surplus of farmers by reducing the prospects of
making a living income from farming," Clements said:
"From the outset, this adminis
tration has looked upon the fer
nier as public enemy No. 1 and it
is certainly not surprising that
this feeling is reciprocated."
High Parity Asked
Clements, the assistant Demo
cratic floor leader, addressed the
Senate in debate on general farm
legislation due to be voted on
next Thudsday. He urged a re
turn to 90 per cent support prices
in place of the lower, variable
support system enacted under the
present administration.
Clements said the administra
tion favors farms being run as
"big business" and he said the

New Taste T reat
THE GRINDER!!
WASHINGTON, March 2 (Al—
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles left for South Asia today
to confer with leaders of free na
tions on Russia's new cold war
offensive and measures which
may be developed to strengthen
free world defenses.
Before he left, it was learned,
he worked out with President
Eisenhower a new message to So
viet Premier Nikolai Bulganin. It
reportedly urges Bulganin to join
the United States and other West
ern Powers in taking initial steps
toward a world-wide disarma
ment program.
Dulles and top State Depart
ment officials took off from Wash
ington Airport in a U.S. Air Force
plane. Their schedule called for
stops at the Azores and Malta en
route to Karachi, Pakistan. There
Dulles will meet with other for
eign ministers of the eight-nation
alliance known as the Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization.
One Day Visits
The Karachi meeting will be
held March 6-8, after which Dul
les will meet with Indian Prime
Minister Jawaharlal • Nehru at
New Delhi. Then he will make a
series of one day visits to neutral
ist and allied capitals around the
arc of the Southeast Asian-Far
Eastern cold war front, up to Se
oul, Korea. He will return home
by way of the Pacific late this
month.
The 25,000 mile journey will
raise his total of miles traveled
as secretary of state to about
300,000.
Ike Plan Sought.
The new message to Bulganin
is understood to constitute a
fresh plea for the Soviet govern
ment to take a more favorable at
titude toward President Eisen
hower's "open skies" plan for
mutual American-Soviet aerial
reconnaissance and exchange of
military blueprints.
Bulganin has rejected this plan
in the past. On the other hand, he
has twice proposed to Eisenhower
the signing of a Soviet-American
"friendship treaty." Eisenhower
turned down the treaty in re
sponding to Bulganin's first note
but the Soviet premier's second
and more recent note has not yet
been answered.
process of eliminating the small,
independent farmer can best be
hastened by flexible price sup
ports, the kind now in effect.
Explains Term
"In reality, what is meant by
that term," he said, "is an open
invitation to vicious price-cutting
a return to the law of the jungle
in which the small perish and the
big and the strong survive."
Sen. John J. Sparkman (13-Ala.)
urged revival of a program to
help farmers "obtain decent
housing" by restoration of a spe
cial loan and grant fund of about
400 million dollars.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA
Senate Launches
Move to Change
State Constitution
HARRISBURG, March 2 (.4')—
A new move to bring about even
tual revision of Pennsylvania's 80-
year-old constitution was launch
ed in the Senate today.
Ser.. Israel Stiefel (D-Phila) in
troduced a bill to create a 25-man
"comm ission on constitutional
amendment and revision."
The group, appointed by thel
governor, would study the pres- ,
ent constitution "in the light of
modern thought and conditions"
and if finds a change advisable
it would determine the best means
of making revisions.
Object of the commission would
be to "obtain for the people of
this commonwealth a form of
government best suited to their
needs and most conducive to their
welfare," Stiefel said.
Commission members would
receive expenses but no pay. The
bill carries a $lOO,OOO appropria
tion.
"This is a preliminary attempt
to study if and when a constitu
tional convention should be call
ed," the Philadelphia senator said.
Several years ago a referendum
on the question of whether a con
stitutional convention should be
called was defeated decisively.
House Directs
Welfare Move
WASHINGTON, March 2
UP)—
The House Appropriations Com
mittee struck a double blow to
day for the nation's old folks.
It directed the Civil Service
commission to let federal em
ployes keep working beyond the
age of 70 if they are able and
willing, and told the Department
of Welfare to promptly start
working on "problems of the ag
ing."
The recommendations of the 50-
man committee are subject to ap
proval of the House next week,
but there was little doubt that
the House would go along.
They were embodied in sepa
rate bills appropriating $8,736,-
508,041 to finance 24 federal agen
cies during the fiscal year starting
July 1. The total is $154,590,641
more than President Eisenhower
requested.
The committee is headed by
Rep. Clarence Cannon (D-Mo),
who will be 77 on April 11. Its
senior Republican member is
John Taber of New York, who
will be 76 on May 5.
The committee ordered the Civil
Service Commission to cease
using age standards for federal
employment and to quit making
retirement of elderly workers
mandatory. Currently, employes
must retire at age 70 if they have
worked at least 15 years.

Race Problem Cited
In Stevenson Speech
MINNEAPOLIS, March 2 OP)—Adlai Stevenson today
called the racial problem "an American, not a Southern. di
lemma" that cannot be solved until there is a change in the
minds and hearts of men.
Stevenson told 5200 Univ
and faculty members civil rights /
are "a matter of grave national'
concern when a girl in Alabama!
is denied her constitutional!
rights by mob violence or subter-•
fuge, or when murder goes un
punished in Mississippi, or when
American citizens are deni e d,
peace occupancy of their homes'
in my own state of Illinois."
Lucy Case Cited
His first two references clearly
were to the Autherine Lucy and
Emmett fill cases in Alabama
and Mississippi, At Cicero, 111.,
several years ago mob violence
greeted a Negro couple moving
into a white neighborhood,
"Before we cast a stone at Ala
bama," Stevenson said, "it might
be well for those of us who live
in some of the great Northern
states to ask ourselves in candor
how the Negro minority is faring
in our own communities."
Campaign Drive
Opening a five-day campaign
for votes in the March 20 Minne
sota presidential primary, Stev
enson declared "the Democrats
are on the way back to Washing
ton." When they get there, he
said, "an American citizen who
has the habit of original thought
will no longer be a displaced
person." He was starting a five
day swing through the state in
his drive for Minnesota support
in the state's March 20 presiden
tial primary, in which he opposes
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn).
Nation First
His university audience ap
plauded when he said, "There is
no area in which partisan ad
vantage should be more subordi
nated to national interest than
in the conduct of our foreign re
lations."
"I hope and confidently be
lieve that the Eisenhower admin
istration will get more responsi
ble treatment from the Demo
crats in 1956 than it gave in
1952," th e presidential hopeful
said.

Pope Celebrates
80th Birthday
VATICAN CITY, March 2
(W) Two hundred children
sang "Happy Birthday•• to
Pope Pius XII yesterday and
gave him a white-frosted cake
with 80 candles.
They danced delightedly around
him at a special audience in the
Vatican's consistorial hall,
The frail pontiff, clad in white,
smiled and chatted for more than
la half hour with his little guests,
a score of them from distant parts
lof the world and the rest from
'ltaly.
His audience for the children
was a highlight of the observance
of both his 80th birthday and the
17th anniversary of his election as
spiritual head of the world's 450
million Roman Catholics.
The birthday song, sung in Ital
ian "Tanti Auguri a Te." went
over big. Pope Pius smiled and
occasionally beat time gently as
the children—the boys in dark
blue and the girls in white smocks
—ran through it a total of five
times.
Thousands of pilgrims and Ro
mans gathered in St. Peter's
Square to wish the pontiff well
and many messages arrived from
leaders throughout the world.
President Eisenhower extended
his best wises and expressed
hope the Pope will live many
more years to serve the "cause of
freedom and peace among men."
