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.

Demolish Port
Lighthouse
TAIPEH, Formosa, Thurs
day, Sept. 16 — UP) — The
lighthouse of the Red port of
Amoy was demolished yester
day by Nationalist warships
in the ceaseless attacks on the
mainland, the Taipefi Defense Min
istry said.
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.
