the President’s message will re
ceive careful and thorough study.”
Rep. Martin of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader in the House,
said legislation to meet Eisen
hower’s request “is essential if
we are to win the battle of the
free world.”
Sen. Javits (R-NY) called on
Republicans to support the bill as
“an important part of the record
for the 1958 campaign.”
Eisenhower prominently dis
played in the first page of his
3,500-word message what he view
ed as the impact if Congress voted
“to discontinue or sharply reduce”
the program. He said these things
would result:
1. A “severe dislocation” of free
World strength against Red ag
gression and economic subversion.
2. A “certain crumbling under
Sino-Soviet pressures” of Amer
ica’s network of overseas bases.
3. A vast increase in the U. S.
defense budget, “necessitating in
creases in taxes.”
4. A “heavy increase in induce
tions of American youth” into the
armed forces.
5. Eventually, a beleaguered
America, “almost alone in a world
dominated by international com-
muniem.”
State Naturopaths
Need New License
A U S T I N—UP)—The Supreme
Court ruled yesterday naturopaths
will have to get a medical doctor’s
license if they want to practice in
Texas.
The court upheld a Midland dis
trict court for issuing an injunc
tion against Henry Schlichting,
Midland naturopath, who was one
of 58 naturopaths accused of illegal
medical practice Dec. 2.
Ranking high in its southwestern
field, the A&M Student Health
Service offers Aggies extensive
medical treatment for a very low
price, Dr. C. R. Lyons, college hos
pital superintendent told College
Station Lions Club members Mon
day.
Dr. Lyons said the hospital had
many duties and was a business in
itself, with staff members requir
ed to be teachers, doctors and ad-
mnistrators all at once. The hos
pital is also an infirmary, caring
for an average of 12 to 18 bed
patients a day thi’oughout the
school year, he pointed out.
Biology Forum
Set for Summer
Outstanding high school biology
student will participate in a spe
cial institute this summer under
the direction of Dr. C. C. Doak,
head of the Department of Biology.
The institute at A&M is one of
five to be held on campuses of Tex
as colleges and universities for the
enrichment of talented youths in
the fields of science - and mathe
matics.
Sponsored by the Texas Educa
tion Agency and Texas high
schools under a grant made by a
fund for the advancement of edu
cation, the program has attracted
statewide attention.
Applications should be made
prior to April 20 ort forms pro
vided by the Texas Education
Agency. Names of participants
will be announced May 1 by the
institute director on each campus.
No tuition is charged.
“A&M’s health service costs stu
dents $20 per year which is much
lower than most other colleges for
the type medical service we give,”
Dr. Lyons said.
The hospital employs three full
time doctors: Dr. Kenneth L. Nel
son, Di\ J. E. Marsh and Dr. Ly
ons. Also on the staff on a part
time basis are three specialists—
a surgeon, a nose and throat spec
ialist and a neurologist. A staff
of trained nurses, eight of them
registered, fill out the hospital em
ployment.
Dr. Lyons said the hospital some
times handles 200 calls per day,
and if necessary, as in the case of
the flu epidemic last fall, can pro
vide bed space for 140. Bed cases
are kept for only two days on the
average, which is well below the
average of most colleges, he point
ed out. The reason for this is the
hospital’s policy.
“We feel it is our duty to keep
the students going to class every
day possible when they are 1 well
enough,” he said. “If a student is
no longer sick there is no need to
keep him.”
Dr. Lyons said although there
are many cases of “goofing pff,”
or imaginary ailments thought up
to attempt escaping military du
ties, they were easily spotted by
the hospital staff and were sur
prisingly few.
Dr. Lyons stressed his pride in
the newest addition to the health
service, a mental hygiene full-time
clinic, operated by Dr. W. C. Bon-
ney, clinic psychologist. The clinic’s
purpose is especially to give stu
dents counseling and guidance in
personal problems.

ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SHOW YOU
To Enter NY
Private School
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.,GT)—
Expressing mixed feelings,
Mrs. W. B. Brown yesterday
announced that her daughter
who was expelled from Cen
tral High School will leave Sat
urday to attend an integrated pri
vate school in New York.
She confirmed an earlier report
that Minniejean Brown, the 1G-
year-old Negro girl, would attend
the New Lincoln School near Har
lem.
Minniejean was offered a $1,050
scholarship by Dr. John J. Brooks,
the New York school’s founding
director.
The Little Rock School Board
expelled her for the semester last
Monday. It has not announced
why. Minniejean contends she was
suspended several weeks ago be
cause she called a white girl “white
trash.”
Mrs. Brown said yesterday in re
gard to the scholarship that,
“While I’m grateful, I’m not
happy.”
“I’m not happy that our daugh
ter must go away at this time to
attend school,” she said. “I’m not
happy that our own home town is
permitting this to happen to us.
I’m not happy that children of
both races are being hurt by sel
fish and hateful men.”
Churchill Stricken
With Pneumonia
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France
GT)—Sir Winston Churchill has
pneumonia and pleurisy, his
doctors said last night. But he
smoked two cigars today and was
described as comfortable and in
good spirits.
A medical bulletin issued at 9:30
p. m. through Montagu Browne,
the former Prime Minister’s
private secretary, said:
“Sir Winston Chiu’chill is suffer
ing from pneumonia at the base
of the lung and pleurisy. He had
a good night and has passed a
comfortable day.”
The bulletin was signed by Lord
Moran, Churchill’s private physi
cian who flew in from London,
and Dr. David M. Roberts, his
physician on the Riviera.
Browne added: “Sir Winston is
in good spirits. He passed the day
reading papers, talking to his
family and dealing with corre
spondence.”
Newsmen had been promised
the medical bulletin would be is
sued late in the afternoon. Asked
about the delay, the secretary re
plied: “You must realize that we
wanted to inform members of his
family about his condition before
they read it in the papers.”
Told that Dr. Roberts had eaT'li-
er said Churchill’s condition was
not dangerous, Browne comment
ed: “If Dr. Roberts said his con
dition is not dangerous then I am
prepared to accept that this is
true.”
House Committee Says
Filter Cigarettes
Don’t Stop Nicotine
WASHINGTON, <A>) — Most
filter-tip cigarettes produce as
much or more nicotine and tar as
cigarettes without filters a House
committee reported yesterday.
The congressmen accused ciga
rette manufacturers of having de
ceived the American public in
their filter-tip advei’tising.
Unanimously approving a re
port made by a subcommittee aft
er hearings last year, the House
government Operations Commit
tee also took the Federal Trade
Commission to task. It held that
the FTC, by not policing the ad
vertising, allowed smokers to be
come “brainwashed that filters
would furnish health protection.”
The FTC announced Saturday it
had invited manufacturers to help
develop uniform specifications for
determining tar and nicotine con
tent. It said its aim is to end con
fusion over various claims.
While the tobacco industry de
nied thei’e were any health haz
ards in smoking, the committee
said, the industry made the haz
ard charges appear true by im
plying that filter tips remove al
leged causes of cancer and heart
disease.
Filter tips accounted for 40 per
cent of cigarette sales in 1957, the
report said. The figure in 1952 was
only 1.4 per cent.
When many people didn’t like
the taste of their first filtered
smokes, the report said, the man
ufacturers loosened the filters and
used lower grade, stronger tobac
co to let more smoke particles get
through. But they still charged
two to six cents more a pack for
filter tips, the report said.
“The filter cigarette smoker is,
in most cases, getting as much
or more nicotine and tar from the
filter than he would get from the
regular cigarette the advertisers
have pei’suaded him to abandon-
for his health’s sake,” the report
added.

Changes Pace
On Summit Talks i!
WASHINGTON, (A*)—The Unit
ed States suddenly stiffened its
attitude toward an East-West sum
mit conference yesterday, ruling
out a meeting on terms dictated
by Moscow.
The move was undertaken de
liberately to put the brakes on
what the State Department con
sidered almost a runaway drive
for an East-West meeting at any
price.
Authorities here noted that the
United States clarification of posi
tion was paralleled by a statement
to the House of Commons in Lon
don by Prime Minister Macmillan.
The British leader said he would
sit down at a conference table
with the Russians only if there
were prospects of a successful
meeting.
Soldiers Searching
For Cuban Rebels
HAVANA, Cuba— (A*) —Govern
ment soldiers pushed deeply into
the foothills of the Sierra Maestra
in Oriente Province yestex-day hunt
ing rebels who attacked an army
detachment two days ago.
The army tried to trap the 400
rebels in a lightning, full-scale air
and ground counterattack Tuesday,
but the insurgents slipped back in
to their mountain hideouts.
The rebels apparently were well
hidden throughout a mile-high
mountain peak near the village of
Pino del Agua. There were no re
ports of clashes or other contact
with the rebels.
But in Las Villas Province, the
army stepped up its efforts to wipe
out bands of rebels whose strength
has increased recently. A com
munique from army headquarters
said the troops had surrounded a
rebel contingent after a surprise
attack in the hills around Banao
near Sancti Spiritus. The number
of rebels involved was not stated.

In Washington, summit confer- 1-
ence policy was discussed by Dep- e
uty Undersecretary of State Rob-°
ert Murphy, top diplomatic ad
viser to Secretary of State Dulles. 1 "
Murphy spoke before the Ameri-^
can Assn, of Jewish Women. i
P
He said under present cir
cumstances a summit meeting
may or may not happen because^
it is not yet clear whether Unitedu
States conditions will be met byi
the Soviet Union.
When asked whether a top-level
session might be held under the
sponsorship of the United Nations,
Murphy said the United States
has had no “fixation about how a
meeting should occur because
we’ve not known whether such a
meeting would occur.”
His comments, which were tied
in with new denunciations of the
double game of policy and propa
ganda played by Soviet Premier
Bulganin and Communist party
boss Khrushchev, emphasized the
possibility of failure to arrange a
summit conference.
This emphasis represented
something of a new tack. In re
cent months President Eisenhow
er an Secretary Dulles had been
stating U. S. policy in positive
terms, with much moi*e stress on
American readiness to join in a
summit conference than on the
conditions which would have to he
fulfilled prior to a conference.
