Government, GAB
Plan Air Control
WASHINGTON, (TP) — The gov
ernment took a first step, yesterday
toward complete control of all the
air space over the United States in
which the airplanes of tomorrow
will fly.
The Civil Aeronautics Board, in
an unprecedented action, provided
for the establishment of a new
“continental control area” above
24,000 feet, effective No'/. 1.
. CAPv. plans to lower this reding
gradually until all the air space
is controlled. It admitted, however,
that this can come only when
experience and necessary facilities
permit. The ceiling probably will
be lowered to 15,000 in two or
three years.
Flight control at 24,000 feet and
above will have little effect on air
lines’ operations until 1959 when
high altitude jet planes are to
come into iise.
The CAB wrote these principal
changes into the air traffic rulfes
for the new continental control
area: Minimum visibility for
flights under visual rules was in
creased from three to five miles
and a minimum horizontal clear
ance from clouds was increased
from 2,000 feet to one mile. The
required vertical clearance fx*om
clouds will remain 1,000 feet.

—Poland and Czechoslovakia said
yesterday they would bar nuclear

East and West Germany would do
the same.
Polish Foreign Minister Adam
Rapacki first made the offer in a

Brncker Knocks
Georgia Governor
WASHINGTON, — OP)_ Secre
tary of the Army Brucker last
night accused Gov. Marvin Griffin
of Georgia of defaming Army par
atroopers sent to Little Rock, Ark.
Brucker quoted Griffin as saying
in a speech that troops of the 101st
Airborne Division have been “giv
ing themselves over to abandoned
revels that would be horrifying
in an occupied enemy country.”
Brucke added, in a statement
“These allegations by Gov. Griffin
sound like those of a demagogue.
They are ridiculous, inflamatory
and wholly without foundation in
fact.”
Brucker said many members of
the 101st are from the South, and
from Georgia.
“They are no different from any
other young Americans and they
are neither brutal nor are they in
dulging in ‘revels’ of any sort,” he
said.
Brucker said only three of the
more than 1,000 fedei’al troops
stationed in Little Rock for the
past nine clays have been involved
in any type of incident.
“The only incident . . . occurred,”
he said, “when three soldiers who
were absent without leave were
apprehended in a tavern in North
Little Rock last Saturday night.
These men were promptly punish
ed by their superiors for having
been AWOL.”
CHS Students Try
Subscription Drive
Students of the Consolidated
School System began a magazine
subscription drive yesterday to
make money for activities of the
CHS Mothers and Dads Club.
Each student, first grade through
high school seniors, carried an
envelope home to their parents con
taining information about the sub
scriptions. Emphasis is placed on
each student selling a subscription
to his parents, said Mrs. Jim
Bevans, publicity chairman.
The Mothers and Dads Club,
sponsor of the drive, is an organi
zation similar to the Parent Teach
er Associations. Their funds are
used to sponsor school activities
and events throughout the year.
The club will receive a commis
sion on all subscriptions sold ’ be
tween now and Oct. 11, when the
sale ends. The Curtiss Circulation
and Publishing Co. is making the
opportunity available to the
mothers and dads.
Almost every popular and well
known magazine is included on the
list available to buyers of the sub
scriptions. Such magazines as Es
quire, Better Homes and Gardens,
Field and Stream, Flying, Jack and
Jill, Holiday, Modern Photography
and many others covering almost
every field of interest are included
in the list.
The subscription drive also in
cludes a special deal for renewal
subscriptions and subscriptions
bought as Christmas gifts.
For further information, interest
ed persons may contact Mrs.
George Huebner, VI 6-5475; Mrs.

Offers New Hope VisitsA&MIn
National Tour
WASHINGTON, (TP)—Neither Gov. Orval Faubus of
Arkansas nor President Eisenhower budged an inch yester
day in their troops-in-Arkansas deadlock, but a presidenlial
aide held out a measure of hope for agreement.
Sherman Adams, 1he President’s top assistant and one
of his closest advisers, said in a Chattanooga news confer
ence :
“In our opinion a basis will be found for the early with
drawal of federal forces from Little Rock.
“I personally believe and certainly hope this will not oc
cur again.”
Adams’ words offered the only glimmer of hope for any
Nearly settlement of one of the
grimmest federal - state con
flicts in the nation’s history.
Faubus said at Little Rock
he was standing pat on his
statement of Tuesday. This was
the one rejected by Eisenhower as
inadequate. He wants stronger as
surances that the governor will
prevent obstruction of federal
court orders for the integration of
Central High School at Little
Rock.

Iii Opinion Poll
Aggies Say ‘Nix
To Co-education
Since men’s colleges are laying
out the welcome mats for women
over the entire United States, a
short poll was taken to see how Ag
gies would feel about co-education
here.
Sydney Heaton, B AAA, said,
“Co-education would make A&M
just like any other ‘cookie pushing’
school. It would ruin us!”
“Co-education is fine, but this
is not the place for it,” was one
of the more favorable answers, but
a large majority of the Aggies
voiced a sharp “Not co-education,
it would ruin the spirit of the
Corps,” that seemed to put a
definite “no” on the idea.
Charles Sinclair, senior Corps
member, says that A&M will
eventually have to become co-edu-
cational because of outside pres
sures, but it might not be so bad
because the coming of the feminine
sex would help the school to grow.
“More boys will come to A&M
because of the girls, and of course,
the girls themselves would help
increase the enrollment,” said Sin-

Robert Boriskie, junior from Port
Arthur, said that he was for co
education, but believes that the
school would have to revamp their
curriculumn to accommodate the
girls.
The 212 members of the opposite
sex who enrolled at A&M for the
last two summer semesters seem
to be an oracle of doom, Sinclair
and Heaton said.
