Macmillan Seeks
Series of Summits
LONDON— (^*1 —Prime Minister
I Macmillan proposed yesterday a
I series of East-West summit confer-
1 ences if a first one produced any
I modest success. He insisted that
k all meetings be well-prepared in
'* advance.
The British leader warned the
I West against throwing itself at the
4 mercy of the Soviets by abandon-
H ing nuclear weapons. He said
Sj Western abandonment of nuclear
■ weapons would double, triple or
I even quadruple the military value
■ of the Soviet Union’s vast storq of
■ conventional weapons.
Opening a two-day foreign af-
H fairs debate in the House of Com-
■ nxons, Macmillan spoke out in ear-
B nest for advance preparations for
■ talks between Western and Soviet
E leaders.
Banging on the table before him,
■ he told a cheering house: “I want
B a summit conference, but I want it
* : to be successful.”
“Perhaps if we had any modest
■ success at the first meeting, fur-
B ther meetings might follow with
■ similar preparation,” he said.
Disarmament in the widest sense,
B he said, might be a profitable sub-
Bject at any top-level meeting. But
■ he said even the proposal for joint
■ East-West abandonment of nuclear
weapons must be approached care
fully. Such disarmament, he add
ed, must bring a corresponding r'e-
duction in the total military power
of each side.
“There are over 200 divisions,
Russian and satellite, in Europe
facing the West. NATO would
have difficulty to collect even a
quarter of this number,” he said.
Referring to vast numbers of
Soviet bombei’s and submaidnes,
he said: “The military value of all
these, following the abolition of
nuclear weapons, would immedi
ately double, triple or even quadru
ple in a single day.”
Mock Attack on US
Slated May 6-7
WASHINGTON, hP)—The gov
ernment announced yesterday that
the mock attack on the United
States to be staged as part of Op
eration Alert-1958 has beeix sched
uled for May 6-7.
The pattern for this fifth annual
preparedness exei’cise has been
changed from that followed in pi'e-
vious years. The Civil Defense test
will be held in thx*ee stages,
with federal and state phases be
ing sepai'ated.
Sudan, Egypt
Settle Strife
Over Border
KHARTOUM, Sudan, (JP)—
A settlement was reported last
night in Sudan’s border dis
pute with Egypt after a five-
hour meeting in Cairo between
President Nasser and Sudanese
Foreign Minister Mohamed Abdel
Mahgoub.
Details of the reported settle
ment were not known. But dis
patches from Cairo earlier report
ed that Nasser and Mahgoub met
in a friendly atmosphere and that
Nasser was working for a com-
px-omise.
The Egyptian px-ess and offi
cials in Cairo also sought all day
to tone down the dispute over
land which has been administered
by the Sudanese for more than
half a century. The area com
prises 6,000 squai’e miles north of
the 22nd parallel. The biggest part
forms a ti'iangle with a point at
the 22nd parallel and spanning out
150 miles to the Red Sea.
Nasser took a personal hand in
the affair, well aware that if he
pressed too hard, he might wind
up gaining a relatively small
sti'etch of worthless desert wTiile
losing the entire Sudan-a terri
tory four times as big as Texas
with 10 million people. Most of the
Upper Nile is in Sudan.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor,
The Battalion:
I realize that this is a long
letter and I know you dislike
long letters. But I sincerely
hope you will print it, as I feel
that it is something which needs
to be said.
“I disapprove of what you say,
but I will defend to the death
your right to say it.” These
were the words of Voltaire, a
man who knew the meaning of
freedom. But he was also a
man who knew the meaning of
being persecuted and imprisoned
for saying what he believed to
be the truth.
There once lived another man
—a very great man in the eyes
of a few of the people of his
time. This man had a peculiar
characterstic aljput him. He dis
agreed with people. He had the
gall, the audacity to tell people
they were wrong. Who was this
ungrateful man to dare to dis
agree with the system? He
pointed out their faults and tried
to show them that in many ways
they were wrong. But they did
n’t like this and so they crucified
Him.
Almost two thousand yeai’s
have gone by, but evidently man
has not changed. Today in our
midst we have a handful of men
who dax’e to speak their mind.
They dare to disagree with the
crowd. Who do they think they
are anyway? They dare to ex-
ex-cise f r e e d o m—freedom of
speech, freedom of the press!
They speak up for the very
things for which our country and
our way of life was founded.
And what do we do? We con
demn them, we censure them,
we ask them to resign their po
sitions, we resort to mob violence
because that is all we know.
For hundreds of years men
have lived, fought and died for
these very principles of fi'eedom.
Then how can we, in our blind,
self-righteous ignorance, wonder
why these few men can risk their
very college existence in the de
fense of what they believe to be
the truth ? Because we are
smart. Because we do no evil.
Because we have a monopoly on
the truth. Because our system
has faults and it cannot stand
their criticism.
The issues over / which this
contx-oversy ai'ose have disap-
peax-ed. Pex-haps we cannot see
it, but the issue now is the de
fense of our Christian and Demo
cratic way of life. And if we
continue to act like animals and
refuse to use our God-given abil
ity to think and to reason; if
we continue to remain silent when
it is shame not to speak, then
the Corps of Cadets, A&M Col
lege, and our very freedom it
self will be lost. Just what does
it take to.open our blind eyes?
Gilbert N. Steile ’57
Editor,
The Battalion:
Due to the limited time al
lowed for group discussion last
night at the co-ed issue panel
discussion, I did not have an op
portunity to express my ai’gu-
ment against co-education.

The principal argument used
by the advocates of co-education
is that we are denying the wo
men of Texas the right to at
tend college here. This small
minoi’ity of women denied the
right consists of a few Aggie
wives, who can afford it, and
local girls who cannot afford to
attend college elsewhere.
This minority consists of at
the most a few hundi'ed women.
Thei’e are thousands of Texas’
young men who want to go to
an all-male college. I ask the
advocates of co-education to con
sider this—should the state of
Texas deny these thousands of
young men the privilege of at
tending an all-male college to
satisfy this minority?
D. Y. ‘Sonny’ Flores ’58
Editor,
The Battalion:
Is nothing so brave as an an
onymous letter? (Or usually
less rational?) Evidently we
already have co-education here
at A&M. Men and boys, that
is. Our “True Aggie” is a good
example of the latter. “True
Tool” would be much more fit
ting, it seems.
The Corps IS A&M in the
hearts and the minds of the ma
jority of Texans, and when we
do away with its traditions, so
goes A&M.
When they allow women to en
roll in A&M, they should allow
MEN to enroll in T.U. and put
a large hunk of glass in both
rings.
Right, boy?
