Picture Enlarger
On Way For Batt
Contract for leasing a more ver
satile engraving machine was au
thorized this week by the Student
Publications Board.
The Scan-A-Sizer has two
screens, one for newspapers and
one for magazines, and will en
large and reduce photographs. It
will produce a plastic engraving
as large as 18" x 22%".
Largest engraving possible on
the present Fairchild equipment is
.three columns wide and photo
graphs which are the “wrong”
size must be used as is or rephoto
graphed.
Jim Bower, editor of The Bat
talion, said the new equipment will
result in a marked improvement
in the reproduction photography of
The Battalion.
“Whenever we receive an 8" x
10" photograph too late for re
photographing we have to play the
picture at least two columns wide.
Other pictures are often too small
and must be printed too small,”
Bower said.
In February, when the new
equipment is expected to ari'ive,
The Battalion and the four maga
zines will be able to use any size
photograph and will be able to
“edit” or “crop” to get the most
out of each picture.

LONDON, (TP) — Secretax-y of
State Dulles asked 18 nations
yesterday to press Egypt for a
shax-e in control of Suez Canal
traffic. He plainly indicated the
canal might be boycotted if Egypt
refused to coopex-ate.
Dulles added an emphatic warn
ing that an eventual Suez solution
must conform with justice and law
as well as with peace.
Five of the countries at the con-
fex-ence balked at the Dulles out
line of the project.
He chai-acterized the canal dis
pute as a test case of the woxld’s
ability to deal with its problems.
“If thex-e is no substitute fox-
force in achieving just solutions
the woi’ld will relapse into chaos,”
he said.
This is the six-point Western Big
Thx-ee plan presented by Secretary
of State Dulles to the London Suez
confex-ence yesterday.
1. The 18 conferring nations
should band together until an ac
ceptable settlement is reached
with Egypt.
2. The 18 should stick to their
proposals for international control
of the canal as the basis of a
final settlement.
3. The 18 should create an opex--
ating staff to coordinate with
Egypt on the pattern of canal
traffic. The staff, headed by a
maritime expert and including
pilots, would guide the ships of
member nations through Suez, col
lect dues and shax-e thq income
with Egypt. The expei't, as admin
istrative agent of the 18, could
supexwise detoux-ing ships around
South Afx-ica if it is decided to
bypass the canal.
4. A small governing boax-d
should be set up to develop long-
tex-m alternatives to the Suez
Canal-including the use of big
tankers which would sail aroxxnd
the cape and the constx-uction of
new oil pipelines to Mediterranean
tex-minals, if necessax-y.
5. A modest working fuxid should
be created.
6. Membex-ship of the associa
tion would bind no country to
wider obligations - such as, px-e-
sumably, joining in measuies
against Egypt if Egypt x-efuses to
cooperate.
While Dulles was speaking in
London, the Soviet Union came out
for a six-nation Suez negotoatioxx
confex-ence composed of the United
States, Britain, France, the ^Soviet
Union, Egypt and India.
In Cairo, Egypt’s Px-esident Nas
ser summoned his Cabinet to a
special night meeting oxi the dis
pute. Before the Egyptiaxxs pre
sumably was Dulles’ London out

Nasser alx-eady has rejected it as
illegal and a danger to world
peace.
