Israeli Ambassador Fails To Get Compromise Plan _ Other AP news on page 8 UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Feb. 25 (IP)—Ambassador Abba Eban of Israel was reported tonight to have returned from Jerusalem without any compromise plan for solving the Israeli-Egyptian deadlock. An:authoritative _diplomatic source who would not be identified said there had been no change in the situation despite Eban's dash .to talk to Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gur ion. . He said the crisis will have to be fought out in the open in the UN Assembly. The Assembly_will meet at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow to dispose of the Cyprus case in volving Britain, Greece and Tur key. Diplomats said it then would turn to the Middle East crisis. Damper on Hopes This development put a damper on the hopes of some delegates who earlier had professed belief a solution was in sight.

Wiegand, director of the Department of Physical Plant and chairman of the committee, said yesterday he expects admin istration approval of the plans in about two weeks. Wiegand said last month that a survey like the one planned might enable the University to take steps to alleviate the parking problem within two years and to develop a sound long-range solu tion within five years. Staff to Conduct Survey According to present plans the survey -will be conducted by Uni-1 versity staff members under the' direction of - the committee. Wie gand said yesterday that particu lar emphasis will be placed on developing a long-range solution through the 'survey results. He indidated that_ while the survey is being conducted, the committee itself will continue to seek immediate ways to alleviate the presure for parking space. Wiegand Describes survey Wiegand described the survey as planned as much broader in scope than the state highways de partment's 1-day census of vehi cular traffic and parking and the supply of parking spaces. A re port of the state survey conduct ed in 1954 was released recently and has been under study by Uni versity officials. Wiegand declined to release specific details on the exact time and extent of the survey until the plans are approved by the administration. He did not say whether it would include an on the-spot check of campus, the vol ume of traffic and the supply and demand of parking on campus. Students May Suggest Concerning an independent sur vey of these factors planned by members of Sophomore Class Ad vis9ry Board, Wiegand said he would be interested in their re sults and vould be "always will ing" to hear constructive sugges tions from any source. Wiegand has described the parking problem as one of "keep ing abreast of a growing need." He has said that effecting some sort of peripheral parking plan— the moving of little-used cars to outlying campus areas—is a pos sibility. sanctions against Israel, set for the afternoon, was called off. Their second talk was held early tonight. One course reported under ser ious consideration would be a res olution noting that Israel would withdraw, that the UN Emergen cy Force would move in behind Israeli troops, that the Assembly would give assurances of no more belligerent acts, and that Ham marskjold would go to the Middle East to consult on permanent ar rangements. Canadian Foreign Secretary Lester B. Pearson continued dis cusions with delegates on one pos sible course. This would call for a resolution asking Israel to with draw and sending the UN Emer gency Force into the area evac uated by Israel. . FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING.

Saxophonist Mulligan and Miss Conner performed before only a half-filled house. E Comp 'Censors Dr. J. Mitchell Morse, assistant professor of English composition, quoting Heywood Broun's "Anthony Comstock," said Sunday night "it is pretty safe to assume than any given censor is a fool. The very fact that he is a censor indicates that." Dr. Morse was speaking as the third lecturer in a Sunday night series at Hillel, "The Struc ture of Freedom," He spoke on censorship, basing most of his talk on John Milton's "Areopagitica" and Broun's "An thony Comstock." Dr. Morse outlined the de velopment of censorship and spoke of its proponents and op ponents. He traced briefly its development through the middle ages. in Milton's England, and in very modern times. The "Areopagitica" was written as a plea to Parliament to repeal its newly instituted censorship laws. Milton's eloquence was quoted by Dr. Morse: "Except he meant to put himself to the salary of press-corrector, we may easily foresee what kind of licenser we i are to expect hereafter, either ig-1 norant, imperious and remiss, or l basely pecuniary." Dr. Morse cited Broun as one who, in this country, was a lead ing advocate of freedom in the printed word. He quoted him as saying: "A case of sorts can be made out for censorship in any field, if you can imagine the job being administered by the wisest man in the world, or one of his five or six closest rivals. "But no wise man would ever accept such a post." Dr. Morse said that such a wise man would have Jar wiser things to accomplish. Dr. Morse brought the subject up to very modern times with a discussion of what he termed "self-censorship." This sort of cen sorship, he said, is what Holly wood and the magazines employ when they decide that their read ers are not capable of reading controversial subjects intelligent ly. He said that most matter .is "dumbed-down" by the maga zines and. movies. rgiatt Prof Says Are Fools' ÜBA to Return Money The Used Book Agency will re turn money and books every day this week through Saturday.

Campus Parties Organize For '57 Spring Elections About 400 students, divided almost evenly between the two campus political parties, were on hand Sunday night to start this spring's election bandwagons rolling.

John Bott. clique chairman of Political Platforms See Page 4 Group to Meet To Organize Further Study By JUDY HARKISON The results of the frequency search and survey on a pos sible AM radio station have been reported by the Univer sity and have been reported as "sufficiently optimistic to justify further investigation." President Eric A. Walker will meet this week with persons in volved in the study and will an nounce details of the results and further plans later. The frequency search, the first step in determining the establish ment of a University AM radio station, was begun in early Octo ber by consulting radio engineers in Washington, D.C. Recommended by Cabinet The AM station was recom mended by All-University Cabi net last spring. Since station WD FM was first broadcast in 1953 on an FM band, students living on campus have been unable to re ceive it with regular AM radios. WMAJ, the State College AM sta tion, has been the only strong sta tion on campus radio dials. Er. Walker explained at Stu dent Encampment in September that there was a slim possibility of finding an available frequency. Even if one is found, he said, the field is so crowded that the Fed eral Communications Commission may not allow a student station to be established since it would only be part-time. Under FCC Control Before a frequency search is begun, the FCC assigns frequen cies that may used for a local station. It is next to be deter mined which of these frequencies are already being utilized by ex isting stations in the geographical area in which the station will be established. If an unused channel is avail able, calculations must be based on geographical conditions to see that no objectional interference will be caused to existing stations. If these calculations are dubious, measurements of existing stations are made and show the coverage of these stations. Campus party, explained pre election -practices to the party's clique members.
