CommitteeoK's Space Agency WASHINGTON (IP)—The House Space Committee has unanimous ly decided in favor of a strong civilian space agency aimed at i speeding America's work in the! sky. I A committee spokesman, an- 1 noun.cing this yesterday said deci sions of the m=ouse group headed by Majority Leader John W. Mc- Cormack, Democrat from Massa chusetts, are still tentative pend ing further closed sessions. But he said the writing of a new bill is about 75 per cent completed. President Eisenhower proposed the space agency originally. The committee has added some ideas of its own. The new agency would be called the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, would be headed by a single civilian administrator with broad power, as Eisenhower asked. Military space projects would not be hampered by the civilian agency. A special liaison commit tee representing the Defense De partment would be set up to work in, the new agency.

But many in Beirut expressed belief this little country, which normal ly is 'an oasis of sanity in this part of the world, is teetering on ,the brink of tragedy unless a 'compromise is reached bettveen the government and the opposi tion. This situation is far from a! strictly internal Lebanese affair.! Other forces are deeply involved,! including United Arab Republic! propaganda agents from Cairo I and Damascus, as well 'as Com munists operating in the back-t ground and taking fullest advan tage of the strife here. Lebanon has a pro-Western government which has been un der constant pressure from Da mascus and Cairo. Damascus and Cairo are now taking ad vantage of the internal situa tion in which a pro-Nasser op position is fighting the govern ment foreign policy. The government can win this stage of the battle, which seems, to have been touched off prema turely by opposition forces, and ,possibly restore order by using the firmest measures. 1 1 But there are new complica tions ahead in the attempt to retain a delicate balance here between Moslems and Chris tians in the government. t The country is half Christian land half Moslem and it is caught l up in the eddy of cold war poll !tics stirred up by two great op posed religions.

Hub Desk - Harmony Shop University Record Shop -.. __Entre Nous Club Members THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Riots, Chaos In France Bring Plea PARIS (!P)-- I The hard-pressed French government pleaded today for emergency police power to deal with riots, chaos and rightist uprisings in behalf of Gen. Charles de Gaulle. The government faced a spectre of the rightist De Gaulle return ing to power from bitter oblivion. De Gaulle already has with him the mobs of military people who hold Algeria in defiance of the Paris government. Premier Pierre Pflimlin's two day-old government goes into a midmorning session of Parliament with its appeal for a state of emergency—just short of martial law in all continental France. The request does not include Al geria. A cryptic bid for power from De Gaulle and quickening of the rightist revolt in Algeria forced the showdown upon Pflimlin. He announced the decision to call for imposition of the state of emergency. It was made at a full Cabinet meeting with President Rene Coty at the Elysee Palace, the French White House, that last ed far beyond midnight yesterday. Two , Communist chieftains whose party is excluded from the government —made a 20-minute call at the palace while the minis ters met. They were Jacques Du clos, the party's acting secretary general, and Waldeck Rochet, hit top aide. The Communists call De Gaulle a Fascist. They are among many French groups opposing his re turn. 20 Killed as Plane Crashes in India NEW DELHI, India (JP) i — A Convair plane of the Pakistan National Airways crashed and burned after taking off here yes terday. Five Americans were aboard. An airways statement said 20 persons were killed, including 4 crew members, and 11 of 18 sur vivors were in jur e d severely enough to need hospital treat ment. Crowd Welcomes Nixon Back WASHINGTON OP)—President Eisenhower led an esti mated 100,000 flag-waving, applauding, cheering persons in giving a hero's welcome to Vice President Nixon yesterday on his return from his riot-scarred South American trip. Beaming proudly, Eisenhower greeted Nixon at the airport and confidently' predicted that ri ots against him in Venezuela would strengthen rather than hurt relations with Latin America. "All America welcomes them home." said Eisenhower as he CARACAS. Venezuela UP) Police arrested three men yes terday on charges of planning to kidnap Vice President Nix on. Exiled security police of the former dictator, Marcos Per ez Jimenez, were linked to the alleged plot. Diogenes Antonio Caballeros Martinez was the only one of the arrested three who was identified. He is known as "the little dictator" because , during the January 23 revolution that overthrew Perez Jimenez he led a group that seized a large housing development near Ca racas. warmly greeted Nixon and his wife when they stepped off the plane which brought them from Puerto Rico, the last stop on their trip. Nixon, seemingly flabber- Meet the men- of atomic-electric power These are two of the new "atomic men" in the business of producing electricity. In the illustration, they are study ing a small-scale model of an atomic reactor designed for an atomic-electric power plant. They, and hundreds of other, electric company men, are learning how to harness the pow9r of atomic energy to the job of producing electricity, With scientists and engineers of the Atomic Energy Commission, equipment makers and builders, they are helping develop the new tools, new ma chinery and new kinds of buildings needed for atomic powered electric plants. The nation's appetite for electric power is growing rapidly, and atomic energy promises a vast new source of fuel to make more electricity. That's why independent electric companies like this one are studying, testing and comparing methods and equipment to find the best ways to put the atom to work for America. O" WEST PENN POWER to U.S. Basted and delighted at the big celebration to the White House, waving and smiling to well wishers along the route. At the airport, Nixon and his wife, Pat, a pink-flowered hat perched on her head, were greet ed by congressional leaders of both parties, virtually the entire Cabinet, dozens -tif diplomats and other government officials. Hundreds of students from nearby colleges waved pro-Nix on signs and whooped it up as if at a football rally while two high school bands tootled along the sidelines. Nixon has blamed the rock throwing demonstrations against him in Venezuela and Peru on the 'Communists. But for some unex plained reason he shied away from saying this yesterday in so many I.xords. In his' airport remarks he iden tified those responsible as "a very small, violent vocal minority." He said they, enlisted the support of "some innocent people who were misled as to what the United 'States' intentions really were." PAGE THREE
