Chances fo: a State College-
Bellefonte area airport increased,
yesterday wh n the federal gov-
I t
h
eminent wit eld funds from
Black Mosh on and Dußois air
port projects pending completion
of a survey o local sites.
Although t e State College Air
port Authorit has not requested
federal aid as et, they have asked
for a survey of the area.
It is hoped that chances for
federal aid will be further in
creased by results of a recent
survey conducted by the Author
ity.
The survey was conducted
among eight per cent of all State
College households to determine
potential airport usage.
Results showed that in the
households polled, persons re
ported having taken 44-non-busi
ness
.air trips. These persons said
they would have taken a total of
197. additional non-business trips
if an airport had existed within
10 miles.
Of 127 who had not taken air
trips, 72 said they would have
made a total of 244 trips if an
airport had existed within 10
miles.
Sometime before the next meet
ing, the Authority will meet with
a representative of Allegheny Air
lines, probably during the week
of April 8, to discuss the local
problem.
The meeting was suggested in a
_letter from Leslie 0. Barnes of
Allegheny Airlines.

Dulles told a news conference:
1. His withdrawal last July of,
a U.S. offer to help Egypt build,
a billion dollar dam at Aswan on]
the Nile River was not an attempt

2. The United States has made

Outbreak of Colds
Seen Decreasing
The current epidemic of colds
that has been plaguing the cam
pus is apparently on the down
grade, according to Mrs. Carol
H. Burt, superintendent of the
University Hospital.
The colds, accompanied by a
slight fever, sent an average of 40
students a day to the Hospital
at the height of the epidemic. The
current admission of cold victims
is less than 20.
Although common colds have
been abundant, Mrs. Burt said the
number of more serious chest
colds has so far been well below
the average for the season.

'John Foster Dulles: A Biogra
phy." it is an extremely friend
ly account by Time magazine's
diplomatic reporter, John Rob
inson (Jack Beal).
Beal wrote, after personal in-1
terviews with Dulles, that Dulles'
withdrawal of Aswan Dam aid
was "a truly major gambit in the
cold war." Beal said it was aimed
at exposing "Russia's foreign eco
nomic pretentions" and demon
strating to wavering neutrals that
even the U.S. tolerance evenutally
"must give way to firmness."
Beal also said in his book that
President Eisenhower sent Na
tionalist China's President Chiang
Kai-shek a secret "personal let
ter . . . satisfying him that the
United States would help defend
Quemoy and Matsu."

Walker Requests
Budget Addition
President Eric A. Walker told the state Legislature yes-
terday that he would "like to settle" for $6 million more in
appropriations for the University.
Dr. Walker appeared before a joint Senate-House Appro
priations Committee to answer questions on the University's
proposed $27.7 million appropriation for the next biennium,
beginning in July.
"You're asking for six million
but what would you settle for?",
asked Sen. George B. Stevenson
(R.-Clinton).
'Salle' for 6 Million
"I'd like to settle for six mil
lion," Walker answered.
"This amount, I feel, is what
we need to meet salary require
ments. The request envisions no
expansion of services. It is only
what we need to keep our pro
grams going as they are now, he
said_
Dr. Walker said the University
has reached the point where it not
only loses faculty members to in
dustry, but to other universities
as well.
"Our salaries," he told the as
semblymen, "lag behind other un
iversities of our kind by a con
siderable percentage and behind

that state residents must pay
more taxes or deprive their
children of a future college edu

Dr. Walker made the state

to ask for more money.
industry by a much greater mar
gin. We are losing men to indus
try which in most instances offer
50 per cent salary boosts."
He said that "if we are going
to keep faculties equal to other
land-grant colleges, and I think
we are committed to do that,
we've got to do something about
salaries."
Dr. Walker said the University's
request to Gov. George M. Leader
asked for $33.8 million.
Governor's Reason Asked
"What story did the governor's
office give you for cutting it
back?" asked Rep. Norman Wood
(R.-Lancaster), chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee.
"They told us the money wasn't
available," Dr. Walker replied.
Dr. Walker said the additional
money is also needed to permit
raising of secretarial and other
employes' salaries, most of which
he said am below those paid state
workers in the same categories.
"We're aiming to meet the
wages paid by the other colleges.
Of course they aren't going to
stand still. But at the present
time we're only talking about
meeting them," he said.
Also, Dr. Walker said, an addi
tional $1.4 million is needed for
supplies and materials and $1.3
million for research programs.

expressed in the "Formosa reso
lution" adopted by Congress
Jan. 28, 1956.
This resolution gave congres

policy of publicly vowing to pro

and the Pescadores. Btrl
lit left to Eisenhower's discretior
!whether to fight for Quemoy and
Matsu a policy of "keep-'em
guessing."
With regard to the Aswan
Darn, Dulles said there were a
number of reasons why he de
cided to pull back the U.S. aid
offer.
First and foremost, he said, was
doubt in his mind that Egypt—
then weighted down by heavy
commitments to pay for Soviet
supplied weapons—was economi
cally strong enough.
