Battalion ■H " ' I ' ' ■' Page 2 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1954 A Rough Year The executive committee yesterday up held the commandant’s office in the college’s new fight against hazing. It looks like this year will be a rough one for hazers, and it’s past time they had a hard year. This boy was not allowed to reenter school for hazing freshmen at the. North Gate last Saturday. In the old days, his offfense would not have been considered serious — making freshmen “brace” and “wildcat.” But now A&M is going to treat its freshmen like people. This does not mean that life for the freshman will be easy. The freshman will still have a hard life, but there will be less of this senseless, childish nonsense, handed out by men who are not capable of leadership. As an example. the cadet who has been punished was report ed to be under the influence of intoxicating beverages. He was also out of uniform. Perhaps now the corps of cadets can concentrate on disciplining its freshmen along military lines, as a military organiza tion should. Congratu lations The Battalion would like to add its con gratulations to the many that G. Rollie White, president of the A&M System board of directors, will get this weekend. The occasion will be the dedication of the new G. Rollie White coliseum. It is a fitting tribute to the man who has spent so many years of his life serving Texas A&M. Dutch Expert To Testify For Batchelor SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 16— (/P)—Cpl. Claude Batchelor’s defense said today it will call a Dutch expert to testify about effects of Communist brain-washing on the slender young Texan. The expert’s testimony, it was claimed, will be that “brain-wash ing puts the victim in a state of mind to think that the things he was doing were the most patriotic.” The Kermit soldier, 22, is being tried by court-martial on charges of collaborating with the enemy and informing on fellow prisoners while in North Korean POW camps. Defense Counsel Joel Westbrook said he will call Dr. Joost Meerlo of New York, former chief of the psychological department of The Netherland’s army. Today’s witnesses were Joel Adams, Sgt. Robert Collett and Edward Clevenger. All were in POW camps with Batchelor and all testified Batchelor sought im proved living conditions in the camps. Collett said that shortly after his capture he and other POWs including Batchelor were herded together and food became so short the American soldiers fought each other for it. Despite this, he said, he saw Batchelor give part of his food to sick prisoners or those hungrier than he. “I know he help ed men out,” Collett said. “I saw him do it, he did not show any partiality.” Clevenger testified Batchelor sought to obtain better living con ditions and that conditions improv ed at about the time Chinese Com munists began their political lec- tui’es. Family Favorites by Mrs. E. F. Lyon Thelma Lyon came to A&M in June from San Antonio. She and her husband, a sophomore electrical engineering major, are student managers of Aggieland Inn.

Great clouds of smoke also rose from-Chlngyu Island, near Amoy, after a naval shelling. A commu nique said war planes in undis closed force sank three Red craft near the Nationalist island of Quc- moy and killed numerous Commu nist soldiers in strafing runs. The Ministry said planes and warships had sunk 180 military junks, 4 gunboats and 22 motor ized boats since the “vest pocket war” broke out Sept. 3 around Quemoy, 110 miles across Formosa strait from Formosa. Quemoy is seven miles from Amoy. The Ministry figures covered operations up through Sunday. Al so claimed damaged were more than 100 military junks, 2 gun boats and 4 motorized boats. Six military junks were captured. U. S. Plans Strong Forces For Pacific, Dulles Says c WASHINGTON, Sept. 16—(A 5 )— Secretary of State Dulles told the world tonight that U. S. military plans call for maintaining in the Western Pacific “powerful naval and air forces” capable of striking any aggressor. He discussed this force as a mighty reenforcement for the new Weight in Gold Won by Woman SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16—CP) There was a day when Miss Mary McCrea worried — just a little — about her weight. But not today. For this morning every single ounce of her 148% pounds, includ ing the clothes she wore, became worth its equivalent in gold. To the sum of $75,158.84. Miss McCrea, 32, won that amount as the first prize winner in a nationwide contest conducted by Lever Bros. .C°:> soap and de tergent manufacturers. She did it by writing a 25-word sentence which pleased the judges. Southeast Asian defense pact which he signed at Manila last week along with representatives of seven other nations interested in the security of the Southeast Asian area. The treaty does not require the United States to make any “ma terial changes in our military plan,” Dulles said. He added that the deterrent power created by the presence of U. S. forces in the Western Pacific “can protect many as effectively as it protects one.” The function of these forces, Dulles said, is to keep up the capacity for “striking at any ag gressor by means and at places of our choosing.” Report Broadcast His report on- the Manila con ference was recorded for broad casting this evening following his departure for Europe. Dulles also labeled as “a total failure” what he called Chinese Communist efforts to “intimidate” some members of the Manila meet ing by opening the bombardment of Quemoy about the time the meeting was beginning. All the countries which attended the con ference signed the treaty, Dulles emphasized. He said the pact would not have to be ratified and • backed up by genuine will to make it effective but he expressed confidence it would achieve its purpose. “I believe that the Manila pact will, in fact, make a substantial contribution to preserve free gov ernments in Southeast Asia and to prevent communism from rush ing on into the Pacific area where it would seriously threaten the defense of the United States,” Dulles said. Dulles rejected Soviet complains against the treaty. He said it is aimed at no nation, only Ut ag gression, and added: The fact that the Communists find that objectionable is tragically revealing of their ambiitons.” The Manila pact commits the eight member nations, including the United States, Britain and Franco, to act together to meet the common danger in case of aggression by armed attack, Dulles said.
