Khrush
Weste
To Ge
PARIS (/P) Premier Nikita Khrushchev came to France
yesterday and without wasting time or words told President
Charles de Gaulle the West must back down and agree to a
peace treaty with Germany.
Khrushchev made his bold approach at a banquet in the
Elysee Palace, where De Gaulle
was host to the Soviet Premier
and representatives of French
overseas communities.
Khrushchev arrived in Paris
yesterday morning for a 12-day
visit. During the day he deliveied
an appeal for disarmament and
a warning to France to beware •
of West Germany.
Germany was still uppermost
in the mind of the Soviet lead
er last night.
The question of a peace treaty
with Germany is a tough East-
West issue. Khrushchev demands
as his price recognition of Com
munist East Germany as an in
dependent nation and turning
West Berlin into an open city
largely 'free of control by the
Western Allies.
He called also for an end of
NATO and the Western European
Union, both of which include Ger
many as military member.
Khrushchev’s firm words met
with a polite, formal reply from
De Gaulle.
The French leader said that
if Khrushchev was seeking a
lessening of tension and "per
haps an understanding of the
policy you proclaim and the
great country you lead, then
be sure you will have the ear
of France."
But no merely polite words
came from Khrushchev as he
spoke at the banquet.
His whole approach to the visit,
as indicated in the first day, is
just what the French had ex
pected. They knew he would try
to break down their relationship
with the West and more particu
larly with West Germany, and
that was just what his speeches
seemed intended for.
Assembly
To Hear
Petition
By CAROL BLAKESLEE
A petition demanding an
open investigation of the cam
pus political situation will be
presented to the SGA Assem
bly when it meets at 7:30 to
night in 203 Hetzel Union.
Desmond Macßae, freshman in
history from State College, who
will present the petition, said last
night he could give no estimate of
the number of students who had
signed, but that “there was no
problem at all" of it being over
the 3 per cent required by the
SGA Constitution.
Macßae began circulating the
petition last Sunday night at a
meeting of Campus party.
It asks for an investigation of
the "recent scandals in student
government” in lieu of the fact
that "certain student leaders have
misused their public trust.”
Assembly will also discuss a bill
which asks that state legislators
be polled on their opinions of com
pulsory ROTC and a bill which
recommends a solution to As
sembly alternates.
The SGA Cabinet meeting
Monday took issue with a clause
in the ROTC bill which stales
that the American Legion lobby
is "one of the major stumbling
blocks" to eliminating compul
sory ROTC. Cabinet, however,
favored the principle behind
the bill.
The bill on Assembly alternates
recommends that only those who
are student teaching or who have
lost the scholastic average re
quired for Assembly be permitted
to send alternates.
At present- an Assemblyman
who is absent from a meeting for
any reason is required to' send an
alternate.

Council Favors
Cabinet Seats
The Chemistry-Physics student
council went on record last night
as favoring a representative on
Cabinet for each student council.
The council passed Walton Da

representatives on Cabinet after
he had expressed his opinion on
the ineffectiveness of the present
setup.
Davis, president of the council,
said that the Cabinet has' lost
status as'a group. The attendance
is poor, he said, and ft isn’t living
up to its potentialities as an ad
visory board.
Steven Brown, junior in chem

was elected new president of the
council.
Robert Harrison, sophomore in
chemical engineering from Sha
