Nations Attempt to
Mediterr ot
Arab 'Big 3'
Unite on Plan
For Neutrality
CAIRO, Egypt, March 12 VP)
—The Arab world's Big Three
wound up their summit con
ference here today with a
declaration that they have
hammered out a unified plan
against "dangers of Zionist ag
gression" and to preserve neu
trality in the cold war.
Premier Abdel Gamal Nassar
of Egypt. King Saud of Saudi
Arabia, and President Shukri
Kuwatly of Syria signed a four
page communique which summed
up the results of their 10 secret
meetings here in the last six
days. It contained no hint of what
details they had agreed on.
Sides Exchange Charges
The signing took place in a
room packed with newsmen and
photographers as Israel and the
Arabs exchanged charges that
troop concentrations were being
built up on each side of the bor
der. Fresh shooting incidents took
A hint was seen that the three
Arab chiefs had decided virtually
to scrap the Arab League and to
act independently of that 9-
nation body in the future.
The communique said they had
an all-inclusive plan for coordi
nating their policies in political,
military, economic and cultural
mateers to achieve "mobilization
of all forces and their direction
toward the realization of the gen
eral good of the Arab nation."
League Unity Shattered
The unity of the Arab League
has been shattered by Iraq's join
ing the Baghdad Pact with Brit
ain, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan,
an alliance concerned primarily
with defense against the Commu
nist bloc.
Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia
so far have failed to lure Jordan
and Lebanon into their separate
chain of military treaties direct
ed primarily against Israel. Ye
men and the fledgling nations of
Libya and Sudan are other mem
bers of the League, whose dis
unity has been advertised by the
Big Three meeting outside its
auspices.

vision of 1954 outlawing segre
gation in public schools was "a
clear abuse of judicial power" and
pledges the signers to do every
thing legally possible to over
throw it.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
dared the Southerners to submit
a constitutional amendment al
lowing race segregation practices,
and predicted there would be
few vote for it.
Morse also declared:
"A historic debate is going to
have to take place in the not too
distant future because this Con
gress is going to have to deter
mine whether it is going to back
up the Supreme Court."
Farm Bill is Amended
To Limit Price Support
WASHINGTON, March 12 VP)—The Senate amended its- elec
tion-year farm bill tonight to put a $100;000 limit on the annual
price support loans the government could make to any individual
farm or farmer_
The vote was 78-11
There is no limit on price sup
port loans in the present law, and
these have exceeded one million
dollars to single units in recent
years. Proponents of the amend
ment said it was aimed at huge
corporation-type wheat, cotton
and corn farms, some of which
..they said have been collecting im
mense, government checks.
The government price support
programs work through loans.
The farmer puts up his crop as
collateral• and if the market price
is lower than the support price on
- which the loan is based, he ordin
arily lets the government take
over the commodity.

President r,v;ght D. Eisenhower
today to consider declaring this
district a major disaster area be- 1
cause of last week's flood than

If Eisenhower approves the
request, it would make this
area eligible for government aid
in recovering horn the Alle

homes.
In a telegram to the President,
Leader stated:
"Should Federal Civil Defense
Administration r e pr e sentatives

tion, kindly request that Alle
gheny River Valley in vicinity of
Warren, Pennsylvania, be de

two million dollars damage.

night and by Thursday night
, crested at 18.4 feet, more than
four feet above the 14-foot flood
level.
Morse said some forces were
trying to put themselves "above
the Supreme Court of the United
States and the Constitution."
Sen. J. Strom Thurmond (D-
S.C.), who led the states rights
movement in 1948, told the Sen
ate the South will "fight to the
end" to reverse the court ruling.
"It would be submission to cow
ardice if we failed to use every
lawful means to protect the rights
of the people," he said.
"We are free morally and le
gally to oppose the decision. We
must fight it to the end."

The court noted that it once had
sent the case to the Florida Su
preme Court for reconsideration
in the light of its public school
decision.
"In doing so," the court wrote,
"we did not imply that decrees
involving graduate study present
the problems of public elementary
and secondary schools."
The court added that its "all
deliberate speed" edict for ending
segregation in public schools "had
no application to a case involving
a Negro applying for admission
to a state law school."

HOW TO BE A THUMPING BIG SUCCESS
While up in the attic last week hiding from a bill collector I
came across a letter, yellow now with age, that dear old Dad had
Eent me when I was a freshman. I read the letter again and
recalled, with many a sigh and not a few tears, what an inspira
tion it had been to me back in my freshman days. I reproduce it
below in the hope that it may light your way as it did mine.
"Dear Son, (Dad always called me Son. This was short for
Sonnenberg, which was originally my first name. I later traded
it with a man named Max. Ile threw in two outfielders and a left
handed pitcher... But I digress.)
"Dear Son, (Dad wrote)
"I suppose you are finding college very big and bewildering,
and maybe a little frightening too. Well, it need not be that
way if you will follow a few simple rules.
"First of all, if you have any problems, take them to your
teachers. They want to help you. That's what they are there for.
Perhaps they do seem rather aloof and forbidding, but that is
only because they are so busy. You will find your teachers warm
as toast and friendly as pups if you will call on them at an hour
when they are not overly busy. Four a.m., for instance.
"Second, learn to budget your time. What with classes, activi
ties, studying, and social life all competing for your time, it is
easy to fall into sloppy habits. You must set up a rigid schedule
and stick to it. Remember, there are only 24 hours in a day.
Three of these hours are spent in class. For every hour in class,
you must, of course, spend two hours studying. So there go six
more hours. Then, as everyone knows, for every hour of study
ing, you must spend two hours sleeping. That accounts for an
other twelve hours. Then there are meals—two hours each for
breakfast and lunch, three hours for dinner. Never forget, Son
nenberg, you must chew each mouthful 288 times. You show
me a backward student, and I'll show you a man who bolts
his food.
"But college is more than just sleeping, eating, and studying.
There are also many interesting and broadening activities, and
you would be cheating yourself if you neglected them. You'll
want to give at least an hour a day to the campus neivspaper and
yearbook, and, of course, another hour each to the dramatic and
music clubs. And let's say a total of three hours daily to the
stamp club, the foreign affairs club, and the debating society.
Then, of course, a couple of hours for fencing and bird-walking,
a couple more for square dancing and basket weaving, and one
or two for cribbage and ice-sculpturing.
"Finally, we come to the most important part of each day—what
I call 'The Quiet Time.' This is a period in which you renew
yourself—just relax and think green thoughts and smoke Philip
Morris Cigarettes.
"Why Philip Morris? because they are the natural comple
ment to an active life; they are gentle, they are benign, ihey
are tranquil, they are a treat to the tired, a boon to the spent, a
haven to the storm-tossed. That's why.
"Well, Sonnenberg, I guess that's about all. Your mother wools
her love. She has just finished putting up rather a large ba.ch
of pickles—in fact, 350,000 jars. I told her that with you ay.ay
at school, we would not need so many, but lovable old Mother
is such a creature of habit that though I hit her quite hard
several times, she insisted on going ahead.
