Faces Eisenhower
WASHINGTON (/P) — Pi-esident istration will offer Congress when
Eisenhower, pushing 70 and with
only 14 months to go in the White
House, is heading into what may
be the busiest period of his presi
dency. He is setting himself a fast
and strenuous pace.
His announcement Wednesday—
that he will visit nine nations in
Europe, Asia and Africa in De
cember—is just the beginning. He’ll
wind up that trip with a three-day
Western summit conference in
Paris.
It may or may not be a signifi
cance that Eijsenhowei’—who has
had a heart attack, an intestinal
operation, and a minor stroke—
made this announcement only after
getting a resounding okay on a
weekend medical check-up.
Early next year the President,
who was G9 Oct. 14 and will be
over 70 when he leaves office Jan.
20, 1961, may have to return over
seas for a summit meeting with
Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
Still on tap after that is the
President’s promised trip' to the
Soviet Uhion.
Also lying ahead of him is the
presidential campaign of 19(>0. Al
though the Consitution makes this
second term his last, one, he will
probably campaign to get a Re
publican elected his successor.,
Rut these activities are all ex
tras.
In between times he has a hat
ful of work in his regular job in
the presidency: keeping the coun
try running* This is the grinding
part of his task.
Between now and the time he
leaves Dec. 4 on his three-conti
nent trip he must put in the final
work on the budget, or encyclope
dia of expenses, which his admin-
it returns in January 19(50.
This is no simple task, since it
involves wrangles among his own
various department and agency
heads over how big a piece of
budget pie each is entitled to.
Work on this budget has been
going on since last summer.
Strike Halts
Newspapers
In Boston
BOSTON (AP)—Publication of
Boston’s six daily newspapei’s was
suspended today, shut down by a
strike their 1,150 printers called
Thursday night in a contract dis
pute.
The strike began immediately
after the prjntersi voted 561-511 to
reject the publishers’ offer to ar
bitrate two of the unresolved is
sues, a pay raise offer and a de
mand by the printers for three
days leave with; pay on the death
of a member of their immediate
families.
The printers, members of the
International Typographical Un
ion, shouted down a following pro
posal to delay the start of the
strike to Nov. 12—a suggestion of
Gov. Foster Furcolo who had met
all day with representatives of the
publishers and the union.
Neither the union nor the pub
lishers have disclosed the exact
terms of the union wage demands.

John Barron Files
Second Coed Suit
A new Texas A&M coed suit was
filed here in 85th District Court
Thursday afternoon by John M.
Barron, Bryan attorney.
Named as plaintiffs in the suit
are three Bryan womeik: Margaret
E. Allred, Sarah C. Ylutto and
Mary Ann Parker.
Miss Allred, now a student at
Texas Tech in Lubbock, seeks en
trance to pursue a Bachelor of
Arts degree with a major in his
tory and government, and a degree
in floriculture in the School of Ag
riculture.
Mrs. Hutto, an Allen Academy
student, says that she wants to
major in biology or entomology,
and seek a Bachelor of Science de
gree.
Mrs. Parker, wife of Lawrence
Parker of Bryan, says that she
wishes to seek a Bachelor of Ar
chitecture Degree in the School of
Engineering. ,
The women allege in their origi
nal petition that they are entitled
to an education at Texas A&M Col
lege, the land-grant ’college of
Texas, including the degree course
offered at no other place in Texas,
and consequently are entitled to
bring this action for themselves

and for all women. They are mak
ing a direct attack on the resolu
tion of the college which seeks to
bar women from the school solely
on the grounds of sex.
In a previous case brought by
Barron, Judge W. T. McDonald of
the 85th District Court ruled wo
men were eligible for admission.
The state appealed, however, and
the Texas Appellate Court ruled
that the state legislature has con-
trol over state institutions. They
added that A&M was not suited
for women, since most of the dor
mitories were built in rows.
The plaintiffs then appealed to
the 10th District Court of Appeals
in Waco, which also rejected their
case. In the final round, the Fed
eral Supreme Court refused to
hear the case on appeal from the
Waco district court.
No comment was available from
college officials, and they request
ed moi’e time to study the matter.
