Bourguiba
Snubs UAR;
Backs West
Charges Egyptians
Plotted Assassination
By the Associated Press
Tunisian President Habib
Bourguiba yesterday turned
his back on Gamal Abdel Nas
ser’s United Arab Republic
and gave the West the strong
est pledge of support yet made
by any leader of an Arab state.
“Yes, I am western, and I will
remain so," the dynamic leader
said after a blistering attack on
the UAR and Nasser,
The Tunisian president has
made it clear he believes he
can be a strong influence in
keeping the Arab world from
coming under Nasser's control.
Outlining his reasons for break
ing diplomatic relations with the
U.A.R., Bourguiba declared the
Egyptians had worked with those
who plotted to assassinate him.
In thus striking out on his own,
Bourguiba took plenty of risks in
his newly independent country,
where poverty and economic
woes feed discontented Nation
alists who are anti-Western.
Although Bourguiba's influ
ence remains overwhelming, he
has been facing rising criticism
in his country where French
aid has been all but cut off and

Decentralized Vote
Backed by Cabinet
All-University Cabinet last night approved the use of
decentralized voting for the fall elections.
Cabinet directed the Elections Committee to set up ballot
boxes in the following places in addition to the one in the
Hetzel Union cardroom:
Waring Hall, Nittany 20 and Redifer Hall.
The resolution, which was pass
ed by a Cabinet voice vote, was
presented by Association of Inde
pendent Men President Edward
Frymoyer.
The last time decentralized
voting was used was in the
spring elections of 1955.
In supporting his resolution,
Frymoyer said he felt there were
two needs it would serve.
One, he said, is the need to
raise the percentage of student
voting; the second is the need
to combat student apathy toward
student government.
Lynn Ward, Elections Com
mittee chairman, said some 'of
the reasons centralized voting
was used previously was that
there were not enough person
nel lo handle all the posts, and
that voting machines were used

Falls, Has
Broken Leg
A University carpenter suf
fered a compound fracture of the
left leg yesterday morning when
he fell from the roof of Pine Cot
tage.
Edward Irvin was repairing Ihe
shingles on the roof of the cot
tage when he lost his balance
and fell 10 feet to the ground.
He landed on his left leg and
fractured it in two places—just
below the knee and above the
fibula bone.
Right after the worker fell, co
workers rushed to the scene. See
ing the extent of Irvin’s injury,
they summoned a doctor from the
University Health Center. The
doctor examined Irvin and gave
him a sedative lo ease the pain.
Irvin was temporarily removed
to the University Hospital where
he received emergency first-aid.
Later he was transfered to Phil
lipsburg Hospital.
I This was the second labor acci
dent in a week. Earlier a woiker
fell while with a construction
crew on the Hammond Engineer
ing Building. He also suffered a
broken leg.
Irvin’s co-workers were a bit
concerned with the accident be
cause Irvin was wearing a shofe

sloping roofs.

This fall, paper ballots will be
used.
An amendment to the resolu
tion by Stephen Ott, sophomore
class president, was defeated. The
amendment specified that the
polling places be set up in “stra
tegically located classrooms.”
Ott contended that the three
proposed polling places were in
predominately independent stu
dent areas and this would be a
disadvantage for frater n if y
men.
However, Frymoyer pointed out
that there are only a few sopho
mores living in fraternities as
compared to the number living
downtown and in the residence
halls.
