FRIDAY. MAY 11. 1956 Martial Law Proclaimed In Eastern 3d of Algeria ALGIERS, Algeria, May 10 (RP)—Resident Minister Robert Lacosta froze the eastern third of Algeria under a state of martial law today. But rebel torches flared again in the west. Daring nationalist forces followed up their farm-burning rampage near Oran last Monday with another fire attack on 12 farms only a few miles away. A strong band burned a vegetable fiber factory and two farms in the area of Bou Tlefis, 20 miles west of Oran. The French moved in armored vehicles and fighter planes in an effort to track down and wipe out the bands.

PENNSYLVANIA The rebels apparently were un hampered in the raids, despite the fact thousands of French rein forcements were rushed into the area after the last attacks, in which 40 farms were burned and 20 French farmers were slain. Lacoste acted under near-dicta torial powers granted him by the French government in March in putting Constantine and Bone un der direct control of the military. The region includes the Aures Mountains, base of the first rebel attacks against the French Nov. 1, 1954. All of Algeria is already under a "state of urgency," a step just below martial law. So no vast policy changes are expected un der Lacosta's decree. Most of the 300,000-odd troops in Algeria have been concentrated in the eastern half of the country. 46 Villages Attacked Rebels struck last night at 46 villages northwest of Constantine City. They set many houses afire. Violent street fighting broke out when French forces arrived. 4.; .."..;-.Z.?=-7.5....!;" NATIONAL GYPSUM COMPANY will interview a on campus May 15.

He said also thak announced cuts in the Soviet armed force may be real and may continue. The Russians announced last De cember they had reduced their armed forces by 640,000 men. But Dulles carefully advised al - embers of the House Foreign Affairs Committee against over optimism. He emphasized he was talking in terms of 10 years or perhaps a generation when he said, "Our long-range purpose is to accelerate the day when the Soviet Union will be a decent state to do business with." He said the armed forces cuts should not be taken as a peace move or an abandonment of Rus sia's ambition to dominate the world, but only a shift to more ef fective use of manpower. 22 Rockets Discharged Into Residential Area MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., May 10 (JP)—Twenty-two aircraft rock ets were accidentally fired today from a grounded FB6 Sabre Jet and hurtled across Selfridge Air Force Base into a nearby resi dential area.

THE TRUE AND TYPICAL CASE OF CHATSWORTH OSCEOLA The school year draws to an end, and everybody is wondering about the future everybody, that is, except the engineers. Today there is not a single engineer on a single campus who has not received a dozen fabulous offers from a dozen corporations. All this, of course, you know. But do you know just how fabulous these offers are? Do you have any idea hew wildly the corporations are competing? Let me cite for you the true and typical case of Chatsworth Osceola, a true and typical senior. Chatsworth, walking across the M. LT. campus one day last week, was hailed by a man parked at the curb in a yellow convertible studded with precious gemstones. "Hello," said the man. "I am Darien T. Sigafoos of the Sigafoos Bear ing and Bushing Company. Do you like this car?" "Yeah, hey," said Chatsworth. "It's yours," said Sigafoos. "Thanks, hey," said Chatsworth. "Do you like Philip Morris?" said Sigafoos. "Of corris!" said Chatsworth. "Here is a pack," said Sigafoos. "And a new pack will be delivered to you at six-hour intervals every day as long as you shall live." "Thanks, hey," said Chatsworth. . "Does your wife like Philip Morris?" said Sigafoos. "I'm not married," said Chatsworth. • "Do you want to be?" said Sigafoos. "What American boy doesn't?" said Chatsworth. Sigafoos pressed a button on the dashboard of the convertible, and the trunk opened up, and out came a nubile maiden with golden hair, flawless features, a perfect disposi tion, and the appendix already removed. "This is Laurel Geduldig," said Sigafoos. "Would you like to marry her?" "Is her appendix out?" said Chatsworth. "Yes," said Sigafoos. "Okay," said Chatsworth. "Congratulations," said Sigafoos. "And for the happy bride, a pack of Philip Morris every six hours for the rest of her life." "Thanks, hey," said Laurel. "Now then," said Sigafoos to Chatsworth, "let's get down to business. My company will start you at $45,000 a year. You will retire at full salary upon reaching the age of 28. When you start work, we will give you a three-story house made of bullion, complete with a French Provincial swimming pool. We will provide sitter service for all your children until they are safely through puberty. We will guarantee to keep your teeth in good repair; also the teeth of your wife and children unto the third generation. We will send your dentist a pack of Philip Morris every six hours as long as he shall live.... Now, son, think carefully about this offer. Meanwhile, here is one thousand dollars in small, unmarked bills, which places you under no obligation whatsoever." "It certainly seems like a fair offer," said Chatsworth. "But there is something you should know. I am not an en gineer. In fact, I don't go to M.I.T. I am a poetry major at Harvard. I just came over here on a bird walk." "Oh," said Sigafoos. "I guess I don't get to keep this money and the convertible and Laurel now, do I?" said Chatsworth. "Of course you do," said Sigafoos. job, my offer still stands." The makers of Philip Morris, *rho sponsor this column, are de lighted to know that times are so good for she engineers. To make times even better—/or the engineers and everybody else—here's a gentle suggestion: Philip Morris, of enerisl Baffle Looms of cash benefits for the totally disabled starting at age 50.
