Eisenhower
To Appear
efore U.N.
WASHINGTON (JP)—Presi
dent Eisenhower has convert
ed his appearance before the
United Nations today into a
2-pronged diplomatic offen
sive.
First, Eisenhower sought to beat
Khrushchev to the punch, report
edly with a revamped version of
his open skies inspection plan to
forestall sneak nuclear attacks
and a proposal to aid the emerg
ing nations of Africa.
Second, the President arranged
to court representatives of 18
Latin American nations at a
luncheon, and to meet with other
foreign government leaders.
The odds were heavily against
any meeting of Khrushchev and
Eisenhower.
This would be a pointed snub to
the premier who has been waging
a campaign of vilification against
the United States and Eisenhower
personally since the summit con
ference collapsed last May.
Announcing Eisenhower's plans,
White House press secretary
James C. Hagerty said Cuba's
Yankee-baiting Prime Minister
Fidel Castro and the Dominican
Republic's representative were
not invited to the Latin American
luncheon. It will be at the U.S.
mission's headquarters in the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

And then there is the story of an enterprising young
.freshman who is out to make a name for himself. He started
his University career by piling up an impressive record—a
record of eight customs violations, that is. With a lead like

Each year there is nearly the
same situation and students who
