Defiance Rises
Against Stassen
Washington, Oct. 9—(AP)
—The State Department yes
terday raised a triple chal
lenge against Harold E. Stas-
sen’s sworn testimony on
events linked with U. S. policy
toward Red China.
In rapid succession, the depart-
• ment sought to refute Stassen’s
contentions:
® That the United States secret
ly considered the recognition of
Communist China.
• The Ambassador - at - large
Philip C. Jessup advocated shutting
Jiff U. S. aid to the Chinese Nation
alists at a White House conference
on Feb. 5, 1949.
• That the administration push
ed India toward the Communist
camp by a 15-month delay in act
ing on India’ plea for 1,000,000 ton
of American grain to help stave
off d threatened famine in India.
Last night the State Department
said Ambassador Warren Austin,
chief of the American delegation
to the United Nations, had report
ed that official records showed
Jessup was in New York on the
day of the White House conference
on air to China.
Stassen had testified that the
late Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich)
told him Jessup was present at the
meeting. Jessup denied it.
In his testimony, Stassen had
made Jessup’s denial that he at
tended the White House meeting
a direct issue of veracity. He accus
ed Jessup of giving “false’ testi
mony.
The State Department earlier
had hit back at Stassen on the
two other points at issue.
Main Sti’eet underpass of the T&P
Railroad reservation. The assem
bly area is adjacent to the Pitts
burg Glass Company.
The parade will proceed up Main
Street (north), past the reviewing
stand at the Texas Hotel, and then
turn west one block and back again
north on Houston Street to the
Court House. The line of march
will then go in front of the Court
House and down that street until
the dismissal area at Grove Street
is reached.
Fort Worth city officials meeting
with the A&M group were Traffic
Engineer T. R. Buckman, Traffic
Lt. J. E. Wood, City Manager W.
O. Jones, and Fort Worth Former
Students Association president S.
J. Baker.
The A&M group met with the
Fort Worth A&M Club for dinner
at the Cattlemen’s Club after the
meeting and then returned to Col
lege Station late Tuesday after
noon.
Says Churchill
US-British
Relations
Threatened
London, Oct. 10—OP)—Winston
Churchill said last night the anti-
Americanism of British left-wing
ers will threaten American-British
cooperation if the labor party wins
the Oct. 25 parliamentary election.
A conservative government, on
the other hand, would “be able to
rebuild those relations of cordial
and intimate comradeship and un
derstanding with America which
played so important a part in the
war,” he declared.
The conservative leader and war
time prime minister spoke at sub
urban Woodford, his constituency.
He accused the left-wing laborite
followers of former Health Minis
ter Aneurin Bevan of prejudice
against the United States.
Prime Minister Attlee carried
the labor party’s campaign into
rural East Anglia. For the last
six years, Attlee said, the socialis
tic labor government has under
gone incessant partisan hammer
ing from Churchill’s conservatives.
Recalling that churchill has been
urging an end to party strife, Att
lee said: “You would think that
Mr. Churchill never takes part
in political strife at all.”
At Kings Lynns, Attlee was
greeted with shouts of “the work
ing man’s friend.”
Attlee for the mosj part limited
himself to discussing farming
problems.
Britain’s Good
Will Needed To
Settle Dispute
United Nations, N. Y., Oct.
10— (AP) — Iran’s deputy
premier said last night only
Britain’s good will can bring
about a settlement of the
Biitish-Iran oil disputes.
Hossein Fatemi, appearing at the
first news conference since Iran’s
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh
and his party arrived in New York
Monday, again disputed the right
of the United Nations Security
Council to consider the case or
make any recommendations.
Britain is trying to get the Se
curity Council to adopt a resolu
tion calling on Iran to obey an
international court of justice or
der to halt nationalization of its
oil property until the Whole ques
tion can be gone over again.
Mossadegh is recovering from
exhaustion at the New York hos
pital.
Fatemi said the Security Coun
cil has no business discussing the
dispute and that Iran would not
pay any attention to any neutral
arbiter that the council might
suggest.
The deputy premier said that
Mossadegh party came here “to
answer the accusations and state
ments of the British representa
tives, Sir Gladwyn Jebb, and make
it clear to the whole world what
the Iranian government is doing is
based on justice for the sake of
preserving peace.”

apply for a scholarship, Dr. Mayo
added.
In the past, two Aggies have won
the scholarships to Oxford Univer-
Sweetheart Nominees
m
sity which is composed of 28 dif
ferent colleges.
C. W. Thomas of La Grange won
a scholarship in 1922 after having
graduated from A&M with a de
gree in chemical engineering. While
at Oxford, he studied English and
received a masters in the same
course at Yale. Today, he is the
English department head of a
New York university.
The other A&M graduate to have
won a Rhodes two year scholarship
is Jack Brooks. He graduated in
1946 with an electrical engineer
ing degree. While abroad, he stud
ied mathematical physics and is
now teaching at a New York col

Rhodes will where he said the
student must have:
• Literary and scholastic abil
ity attainments.
• Qualities of manhood, truth,
courage, devotion to duty, sym
pathy, kindliness, unselfishness,
and fellowship.
• Exhibition of moral force of
character and of instincts to lead
and to take an interest in his
schoolmates.

interest in outdoor sports or in
other ways.
Dr. Mayo, who was a Rhodes

the greatest importance in apply
ing for the award.
All students interested in ap
plying for the award should start
planning and do so now, Dr. Mayo
urged.
cussing plans for what will prob
ably be the biggest education con
ference of the year.
Although these delegates have
had little opportunity to inspect
the campus, many have already
formed opinions of A&M, its stu
dent body, and its faculty.
Some of the things which a few
of these delegates found most im
pressive about A&M were the
friendliness of the student body,
the facilities of the MSC, and the
military training program.
Dean Charles E. McAllister, of
Washington State College, Spo
kane, Wash., called the northwest
and southwest “the two most sim-
iliar areas in the United States.”
“We’re both still in the pioneer
stage, so to speak,” he said.
“I think A&M’s work in Texas
is doing a lot for land grant
institutions” Dean McAlister
said.
He was also glad to find A&M
was a non-coed school and believes
there should be more of them.
Mrs. Wilward L. Simpson from
Coty, Wyoming, wife of the pres
ident of the association, thought
“education is the biggest sport in
the nation.” Although she is not a
voting member of the organization,
Mrs. Simpson said she enjoys at
tending the conventions.
A member of the executive board
of Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
Vernon G. Eberwine, said the 150
members of the association should
be able to solve many of the com
mon problems of the nation’s state
supported institutions while at
tending the meeting at A&M.
Both Eberwine and Mrs. Simpson
praised the friendly attitude shown
by Aggies toward visitors and each
other.
H. F. Dennis, a court reporter
from Denver, Colo., is the sten
ographer for the meetings. His
job is to keep a word-for-word
account of the proceedings of the
conventeion. He was “overwhelm
ed” by the physical plant and
by the MSC.
“If we don’t have a good meet
ing,” he said, “it won’t be be
cause we haven’t got a wonder
ful place to work,” Dennis said.
“The Student Center is a marvelous
building.”
All the delegates expressed sim
ilar (admiration for the MSC and
many of them plan to see if their
schools can’t build a studen.t cen
ter comparable to A&M’s.
Col. C. F. Meyers, of The Cita
del, Charleston, S. C., compared
A&M with his college as a mili
tary school. He said both schools
had many things in common, al
though his school is much smaller.
The Citadel has about 1500 en
rollment.
“1 believe,” he said “a man from
a military school such as A&M or
the Citadel makes a better officer
than a West Pointer. A West
Pointer has to be indoctrinated all
over again when he enters the ser
vice.”
association, Edgar W. Smith, pres
ident of the Oregon State Board
of Higher Education, responded to
the welcoming statements.
Then, Milward L. Simpson, pres
ident of the Association and presi
dent of the Board of Trustees of
the University of Wyoming, de
livered the president’s address. The
annual roll call of members was
taken after Simpson’s speech.

TRADITION? An Aggie quit his

had been visiting her one-and-only
on the campus. The story goes,
they walked past Sully and he did
n’t salute.
SPEAKING of Sully, he’s shin

received its first cleaning in 12
