papers, and is listed in “Who’s

because of the remodeling of the
YMCA. The rooms are not large
enough to accommodate all of the
conferences. Meals will be taken
off-campus, although they could
have been taken in. college dining
halls without breaking A&M Sys
tem Board policy.

JERUSALEM — Israeli Premier
David Ben-Gurion declai’ed yester
day the danger of a second Arab-
Israeli war has increased. He ex-
pi’essed confidence Israel would ul
timately win any such test. Against
a shifting pattern of Middle East
events, Ben-Gurion told his Parlia
ment the chances of preventing war
“are somewhat smaller now” and,
if bloodshed comes, the United
States and Soviet Russia will share
the moral responsibility.
"At "A’ "At
WASHINGTON—President Ei
senhower has advised Soviet
Premier Bulganin that the Unit
ed States is ready to negotiate a
freeze on atomic weapons stock
piles if Bulganin will accept Ei
senhower’s “open skies” disarma
ment plan. Eisenhower also de
clared, in a cordial letter made
public today, that other “major
types of armaments” could be
limited “under proper safe
guards.”

MOSCOW—Premier Nikolai Bul
ganin said last night that Pi'esident
Eisenhower’s letter on disarma
ment is “a very interesting letter
and a good one.” The Premier
made his remarks in response to
questions by newsmen at a Krem
lin reception for Prime Minister
H. C. Hansen of Denmark. When
a newsman suggested that since
Bulganin and Communist paily
chief Nikita S. Khrushchev are go
ing to England this spring it might
he a good idea to go on to America,
the Premier chuckled and replied
that he would not mind going to
the United States “but of course
I would not want to be finger
printed.”
