But Secretary of State John Foster Dulles served notice that the United States reserves full freedom of action in defense of its vital interests without consult ing its NATO allies in advance.

DECEMBER 13. 1956 Cabinet to Air Plan On Test Exemptions The All-University Cabinet will start work tonight on a plan to exempt eighth semester seniors from final examinations when Joseph Hartnett, chairman of the com mittee working on a plan, will present his committee's report Seniors graduating in January will probably not be a the procedure required for the administration's approval Walker Cites Need To Expand Facilities ALTOONA, Dec. 12—By 1970 the nation's colleges and universities must provide for a 100 per cent enrollment in crease and raise faculty salaries TO per cent, Dr. Eric A. Walker, president of the University, said here tonight. Speaking before the Blair County branch of the Penn- sylvania Economy League, Dr. Walker said such a jump in en rollment is necessary to help pro vide the adequate supply of "brain power" which the country lacks today. He said the faculty salary in crease is needed "simply to keep our professors abreast of our econ omy," and indicated that salaries would need to be - tripled to com pare favorably with Russian teachers' pay. Shortage Not Being Met Dr. Walker said the growing population and the increasing per centage of high school graduates enrolling in colleges will nut meat the brain power shortage. He said: "The problem can be solved—and it must be solved, if our economic systems, our social structure, and our ability to with stand national enemies are to sur vive—only by taking immediate and drastic steps." Many Scholarships Needed Between 60,000 and 100,000 col lege scholarships would be neces sary to reclaim the 100,000 high school graduates capable of com pleting college who cannot con tinue their education for financial reasons, he said. To reclaim an additional 100,- 000 who fail to achieve a higher education because of a lack of motivation, Dr. Walker outlined a need for proper teaching and counseling facilities, including long-range programs to increase teachers' salaries, and to improve buildings and facilities and up-to date school programs. "We will have to construct as many buildings in the next few years," he said, "as were built in the past 300 years in America."

But, the spokesman said, action on their recommendations was delayed by French Foreign Min ister Christian Pineau and West Germany's Heinrich von Bren tano, who said they wanted to submit amendments. Consultation 'Unfair' A high NATO source said Dulles told the 14 other foreign ministers of NATO member countries it would be unfair to the 30 other nations with which the United States has mutual defense pacts if Washington could not act in other parts of the world without con sulting NATO. The report by Lange, Martino and Pearson—called NATO's "Three Wise Men"—recommend- Tottrgiatt TIM Postpones Reorganization Of Constitution The reorganization of the Town Independent Men was delayed last night as the motion for the reorganization amendments was tabled until the next meeting. The amendments include: "A council of 26 men will be established. Members of this coun cil will be nominated by a peti tion signed•by 20 Town Indepen dent Men. Elections of these men will be held by open ballot. Rep resentatives-at-large to the Asso ciation of Independent Men board of governors shall be those men receiving the highest number of votes." Trial Basis The amendments, if approved. will go into effect on a trial basis for the spring semester. According to the amendments, the last meeting of the spring se mester will be open to all TIM members, who will have full voting privileges at that time. They will evaluate the proposed TIM Council by voting for ac cepting or rejecting it perma nently. .... two-thirds majority vote will be needed at that time to make the amendments perma nent. Gift Appropriation The group appropriated $25 to give "in some form" to needy children for Christmas. A com mittee was appointed to decide in what form to give this gift.. Open nominations were held for one additional representative to the AIM board of governors. Ad ditional nominations will be heard at the next meeting. Voting will be held at that time. ed that "before any new policy is adopted which might affect NATO, or a political pronounce ment is made, there should be consultations." Dulles Urges Adoption Dulles, the sources said, told the closed ministerial meeting he ap proved of this principle and hoped it would be adopted. But, if taken literally, Dulles continued, this and another sentence stating "there cannot be unity in defense and disunity in foreign policy" both go too far. Diplomats in the meeting were quick to point out that Dulles' statement appeared likely to cause a protest in view of U.S. resentment when Britain and France took military action against Egypt without prior con sultation with the United States or any other NATO member. Should Names Be Printed? See Page 4 fected by the exemption since ay take several months, some members of the Cabinet have esti mated. Most of the time will probably be spent waiting for action by the University Senate after it passes the Cabinet. The Senior Class Advisory Board has interviewed faculty members and administrative of ficers to determine their opinions )n the finals exemption. Exemptions Favored The board has said that many of those int. , rviewed were in favor of the exemption. One member of the board. Curtin Schafer, senior in busi ness administration from Gib sonia, said that chances for the exemption look good since most of the persons interviewed gave their own opinions without con sulting others. Wait for Senate Approval Edward Redfield, chairman of the board, said the next step the board will take will be to get the approval of the University Sen ate for the exemption. He esti mated this will take from two to three months. Arguments they will use in fa vor of the exemption are that it will be an incentive to students to keep their grades high through out the semester, and that it will reward students for maintaining high averages if 'it applies to only those holding a "B" average or better. It would also give the faculty members more time to process grades at the end of the semester. The Supreme Court issue will not come up before the Cabinet tonight. All-University President Robert Bahrenburg said the com mittee report on the Court has not been completed. Resolution to Be Proposed Lawrence McCabe, co-ordinator for the National Student Associa tion, will introduce a resolution asking that the University's Stu dent Government Association of fer its help to the students of Hungary who are revolting against communism. The resolution does not say what kind of help should be of fered. _ _ Other committee reports the Cabinet will hear are those of the publicity committee, by Ed ward Long, junior in arts and letters from Wanamie, and the NSA report on its regional assem bly at West Virginia University on Nov. 30, - Dec. 1 and 2.
