Walter Williams Where Will You Be Thursday at 3? If ever nine men deserve backing it’s tomorrow at 3 p. m. on Kyle Field when the Aggie baseball team tackles the Rice Owls in an attempt to win, or share, the Southwest Con ference championship. It’s backing they haven’t had all season, but yet they have gone on to win. They’ve come from behind countless times to march on to victory, and they’ve gone down four times by one-run margins. How many of those defeats could have been staved off if they had the backing of the 12th Man all the way? It’s hard to tell. But there’s one thing you can tell. You can tell your buddies that the Aggies are playing tomorrow at Kyle Field. You can tell everyone in your outfit that the game is more important than sack time. You can tell the graduating seniors that here is one more thing they can do for Aggieland, help those Farmers beat Rice tomorrow. Yesterday the men of Aggieland turned out in force to welcome the baseball team home from Houston—to congratu late them for a job well done. It was a sincere effort and in spired the team. It made they feel that Aggies DID care. Do you? Will you be at Kyle Field tomorrow? Can you afford the time to sit in the bleachers for a full nine innings and back your team ? If you plan to leave after the end of seven frames, if you plan to stay in the sack or go to the show and miss the game, if you plan to laugh and shrug off the meaning of the I2th Man, you’re not part of .that tradition. Some will be there, will you ? Demand Two Seats Big Four Stymied By Soviet Demand by Jim Earle Former Chaplain Returns for Talk .. '.V.V... :v- “For some reason I have an intense feeling of insecurity!’ GENEVA (AP) — The Big Four foreign minister conference deadlocked Tuesday over a Soviet proposal to seat Communist Po land and Czechoslovakia as full participants. The ministers wrangled incon clusively for more than an hour, then adjourned with the dispute unsettled. The Soviets announced they intend to bring up the issue again Wednesday. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko advanced the new prop osition for enlarging the confer ence in the wake of his quick defeat Monday at the opening session on a demand for admit tance of Communist East Ger many as full negotiator. Gromyko insisted that Poland and Czechoslovakia must be in cluded as a tribute to their suf ferings from German aggression. U. S. Secretary of State Chris tian A. Hei’ter and his British and French colleagues balked. They urged that the Big Four get on with the Berlin and German is sues. They suggested that Poles and Czechs might be called in later during discussion of points of specific interest to them. “The meeting ended with the matter still up in the air,” U. S. Asst. Secretary of State Andrew Berding announced later. Herter, Britain’s Selwyn Lloyd and France’s Maurice Couve de Murville each challenged the So viet idea. The second formal session at the Palace of Nations, with Gro myko as the day’s chairman, lasted 93 minutes. The argument could tie up the conference in a lengthy procedur al wrangle. But Berding said, “We hope the problem is closed.” On the other hand Gromyko’s deputy, Valerian Zorin, told newsmen: “The Soviet Union will insist on a positive decision on this problem. We consider that the success of the whole confer ence will to a large extent de pend on the decision.” There was no sign that Herter, Lloyd and Couve de Murville would relent. In his first speech at the Big Four conference, the lanky Amer ican statesman urged the confer ence to get on with the discus sions on Germany and Berlin. “The four powers here have the major responsibility in the Ger man question. To maximize the possibility of serious negotiation we believe that our conference at the outset should be limited to the four powers,” Herter said. “The Soviet government has taken the position that Poland and Czechoslovakia should parti cipate because they border on Germany and were the first vic tims of Hitlerite aggression. “If we accept this criteria then clearly a number of other coun tries qualify.” He named the Netherlands, Denmark, Luxembourg and Bel gium. Lloyd and Couve de Murville took a similar line. Attention Seniors! ? t Aggie Diploma Frames Ready to go % inch Black molding with glass and backing $2.39 each MINK ARTCRAFT 923 So.
