Suez Users Seek Plan;
UN to Debate Problem
LONDON, Oct. 5 (j<P) The Suez Canal
Users’ Association today elected six nations—
most favoring moderate courses—to lead the
drive for a peaceful settlement of the Suez
crisis with Egypt. The six which will run the
new grouping as an executive
committee are the United States,
Britain, France, Italy, Norway
and Iran. A seventh nation will
be« named when three hesitant
countries—Japan, Pakistan and
Ethiopia—decide whether or not
to join the association. Ethiopia
•has been mentioned as the likely
choice.
Tough Methods Sought
-Britain and France alone of the
six have shown themselves ready
to use tough methods to achieve
international control of the 103-
mile waterway.
A communique issued at the end
of the association’s inaugural ses
smn announced that the executive
will meet here early next week to
choose an administrator, settle
money matters and work out a
program of operations.
Composed' of 15 Nations
The association, fathered large
ly by U.S. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, was formed by 15
countries' which want the Suez
Canal placed under international
control. Its defined tasks are to
facilitate any steps leading to a
provisional or final settlement of
the canal question, promote effi
cient and unhampered transit of
Suez, cooperate with Egyptian au
thorities, and collect dues which
any user-nation may care pay
into its funds.
The association also intends to
study ways of lessening the de
pendence of its members of Suez
and to help if any emergency
should arise to disrupt shipping
through the canal.
This modest work program will
go on side by side with any dip
lomatic and economic measures
that.the main’user-nations may
decide to undertake to assert what
they deem to be their right to
share in the management of the
waterway.

every county in the state.
The survey is being conducted
through the cooperative efforts of
the state Agriculture Department,
state Soil Conservation Commis
sion, Pennsylvania State Univer

drainage conditions, slope, land
use and other important conser
vation factors.
Preliminary Work Started
Penn State has already done
preliminary soil survey work in
Lancaster, Clarion and Potter
counties. They .will be the first
counties completed and mapped
under the program.

Ike Dislikes
'Third-Term 1
Amendment
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (.■!>)—
President Eisenhower said today
the constitutional amendment
which bars a president from a
third term “was not wholly wise.”
He dropped that comment into
a news conference discussion as
to whether this constitutional bar,
which became effective, in 1951,
might lessen the influence of a
president in his second term.
Eisenhower discounted the idea,
saying:
"I don’t believe that a presi
dent’s influence of his party is
lowered too much, for his rea
son: Certainly, whoever is the as
pirant at the end of two terms for
president will want that presi
dent’s support, and will want his
blessing.”
Eisenhower came to the confer
ence with no announcements, and
called for questions. The first one
dealt -with the statements by Ad
lai Stevenson, the Democratic
presidential nominee, that the
Democrats started desegregation
of whites and Negroes in the
armed forces and that the Repub
licans have made what Stevenson
called a brazen attempt to take
credit for civil rights progress.

Barbara Hendel, regional presi

The meeting will be held from

funds, as well as technical aid and
mapping service.
Building Renovated
At Penn State officials are re
novating a building to be set aside
as a solid classification labora
tory under the program. The uni
versity is now looking for a 'soil
scientist to head the laboratory
phase of the work.
Pennsylvania State University
has developed a new method of
detecting the anima, coccidiosis
which annually threatens the
poultry industry.
The university said the discov
ery may have “great economic
value” to the poultry industry.
The university still must field
test the new system which so far
has been used on domesticated
rabbits. '
The new method is a serum
type test developed by C. E. Heist
of the Penn State bacteriology
department. The university noted
the test is easily read.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 5 (/P)
Britain and France, with U.S. backing, today
asked the UN Security Council to endorse
their London plan for international control as
the best way to end the Suez Canal crisis.
The Western action came at the
first Security Council sessionj
[ever attended by the foreign min
isters of the Big Four powers,j
[Egypt, which already has rejected
[the London plan, also was repre
sented by its foreign minister,
Mahmoud Fawzi.
Sitting at "the table, ready to!
[back Egypt with a veto on the'
British-French resolution if neces
sary. was Soviet Foreign Minister
Dmitri T. Shepilov. It was Shep
ilov’s first UN meeting and he
listened carefully to the debate.
He is expected to speak next week
after Egypt makes its opening
statement. The council will re
sume its discussions Monday.
U.S. Secretary of State Dulles,
who was said to have persuaded
Britain and France to tone down
the resolution slightly at a confer
ence earlier today, told the coun
cil he would vote for it. He re
iterated U.S. adherence to the de
cisions of the London conference
in mid-August.
British Foreign Secretary Sel
wyn Lloyd led off today with a
speech saying Egypt’s seizure of;
the canal threatens the life and
strength of countless nations. He
presented a joint British-French
resolution asking council support
for the London proposals for inter
national operation of the 103-mile
waterway. It seeks' to have Egypt
cooperate by negotiating a settle
ment on the basis of the London
plan and cooperate, meanwhile,
with the new Suez Canal Users
Association.
The proposed resolution notes
with regret that Egypt so far has
refused to negotiate on the basis
of the London proposals. It re
affirms the principle of the free
dom of navigation in accordance
with the Suez Canal Convention
of 1888.
Lloyd contended himself to a
somewhat legalistic argument
against the seizure of the canal
by President Nasser, and said it
was a grave act which the nations
could not ignore.
ysis metnods are used to detect
coccidiosis. but they are too time
consuming for routine diagnostic
work.

Adlai Blasts Nixon
For Smear Policy
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 5 (/P) Adlai E. Stevenson
criticized Vice President Nixon tonight for using “threadbare
shouts” about sociolism. He also said the Republicans were
using “soft soap” slogans, gimmicks, bandwagons and “in
fernal machines of modern, high-pressure p©litics” to re-elect
President Eisenhower.
| The Democratic presidential
nominee, speaking in Yale Uni
|versity’s Woolsey Hall, said Nixon
in this year’s campaign reverted
“to, the familiar tactics of asso
ciating Democrats with socialism.”
In his speech prepared for a
jrally in the university; Stevenson
contrasted Nixon’s tactics with
those of his fellow California Re
□ublican. Chief Justic Earl War
ren, and said:
“I do not think the American
people are going to be much 1 more
impressed in 1956 by the vice
president's threadbare shouts
about communism.’’
Factual Debate Essential
“Hard-hitting, factual debate is
the essence of democracy,” Ste
venson said. “Innuendo, smear
and slander are not. They de
bauch the language of politics;
they defile the dialogue which is
the means by-which free society
governs itself."
Stevenson moved into New
Haven by “whistle-stop” train
from New York City, where Jie
attended the World Series battle
between the Dodgers and the
Yankees. Before the game he
spoke at a street rally in Brook
lyn.
Accuses Eisenhower
In this speech, Stevenson ac
cused the Eisenhower administra
tion of having the country con
stantly on the “brink” of war, of
fumbling on the Suez crisis and
“spending 40 billion dollars a year
for war."
Stevenson said the greatest sin
gle difficulty about running for
the presidency “is how you can
win without, in the process, prov
ing yourself unworthy of win
ning.”

McKeon
Sentence
Reduced
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 </P>
Secretary of the Navy Thomas
today lifted the bad ’conduct dis
charge facing S. Sgt. Matthew C.
McKeon for the “death march” of
six Marine recruits at Parris Is
land. S.C.. last April.
Thomas also reduced McKeon’s
court-martial punishment from
nine months confinement to three
months—leaving him about four
weeks to serve—and set aside a
$270 fine.
Reduced in Rank
• The secretary upheld the drill
sergeant’s reduction in rank to
private, noting this would involve
“a much more substantial finan
cial loss” than the fine.
The bad conduct discharge was
the severest penalty imposed in
I the Aug. 3 sentence of a seven
man court that convicted Mc-
Keon of negligent homicide and
drinking on duty.
In remitting this part of the
sentence, Thomas said, “For him
I believe that the real punishment
will be always memory of Ribbon
Creek . . .
“Remorse will never leave
him.”
6 Men Killed
The 31-year-old career Marine
'from Worcester. Mass., ordered
and led a night disciplinary
march last Aoril 8 into marsh
lands at the Parris Island train
ing depot. Six of the 74 members
of the platoon drowned in Ribbon
Creek.
Thomas affirmed the court’s
opinion that McKeon “failed to
exercise reasonable care for the
safety of the men entrusted to
him” and, in upholding his re
duction to private, said “just one
lapse resulting in such serious
consequences is just one lapse
i too many."
Thomas said that by McKeon’s
own testimony the drill sergeant
acted “on impulse with no pre
vious planning, reconnaissance,
evaluation or normal precaution
ary measures.”
