Panama Flag
Flies Over
Canal Zone
By The Associated Press
PANAMA—Amid student jeers
Panama’s flag was raised beside
the Stars and Stripes over the
Panama Canal Zone Wednesday
for the first time since the United
States took over the zone under a
perpetual lease 57 years ago.
The flag-raising was marred by
the shouts of some 50 high school
students, chanting “Yankee go
home,” and the stabbing of an
American broadcaster. In addition,
the president of Panama refused
to attend.
Flag to Be Flown
President Eisenhower directed
Saturday that the Panamanian
flag be flown at one point over the
canal zone with the U. S. flag as
a concession to Panamanian sov
ereignty.
Panama’s President Ernesto de
la Guardia, Jr., said he could not
attend the ceremony because no
provision had been made for him
personally to raise his nation’s
flag.

Two-Mouths Tour
The state-federal team is mak
ing a two-months tour to organize
local shelter building programs in
100 cities of the five-state south
western region.
“Operation 100,” as it is called,
is to help the 100 cities in the for
mation of a local shelter and the
construction of at least one dem
onstration model shelter in each
city. In Bryan and College Sta
tion, as in the other cities, the
demonstration model would be
open to the public and used as a
guide by private citizens in build
ing their own home fallout shelter.
Seeking Participation
Garner said civil defense leaders
are seeking the participation and
co-operation of numerous private
and public groups in the cities they
visit. These include home build
ers, contractors, real estate men,
architects, manufacturers, suppli
ers, labor unions, churches, schools,
civic clubs, women’s organizations
and major business institutions,
such as banks.
Promotion of shelter buildings
has been given top priority to re
ceive 95 per cent of OCDM staff
ers’ time during September and
October, Garner said. Construc
tion of adequate shelters for the
civilian population is regarded as
the best defense against the threat
of radioactive fallout following a
nuclear attack.

particles can be carried hundreds
of miles by wind before settling to attend.

By The Associated Press
HOUSTON — A physician was
released under $5,000 bond Wed
nesday as police investigated the
death of a model whose body was
found in her apartment. The body
of Mrs. Diane Graham, 29, was
found Tuesday night.
Chester J. Brew, Detroit, Mich.,
told Houston newspapers by long
distance that Mrs. Graham was his
daughter, Mary Lou. He said she
also was known as Diane Harris
and formerly resided in New York.
Diane Harris, then 21, was held
in custody under $25,000 bail in
1953 in New York City as a ma
terial witness in the Mickey Jelke
vice case. She testified before the
grand jury but did not appear at
the Jelke trial.
Mrs. Graham had resided here
about two years.
Dr. William W. McClellan, 47,
and two attorneys were in the
expensively furnished apartment
when police arrived Tuesday night.
On the advice of his attorneys,
McClellan refused to answer any
questions to police.
The attorneys, Tom White and
Wilton R. Hill,, arranged for Mc
Clellan’s release applying for a
writ of habeas corpus. Judge Mi
ron A. Love set the bond pending
a hearing on the writ Friday.
No charges were filed against
Dr. McClellan. The bond was post

Asst. District Atty. Joe Guarino
said Love would reset the hearing
if the cause of Mrs. Graham’s
death had not been determined by
Friday.

COMMITTEES TO BE NAMED
CSC Starts Work Tonight
The Civilian Student Council will
hold their first meeting of the
1960-61 school year tonight at 7:30
in the Senate Chamber of the Me
morial Student Center.
President Mike Carlo said the
CSC Executive Council has' drafted
several important items to be dis
cussed at the meeting.
“Last year we made considerable
progress toward raising the status
of the civilian student at A&M.
This year we want to continue
working toward better relations
with the Corps and more coopera
tion between civilian students
themselves,” he said.
Old Business
Among old business to be re
introduced at this year’s first meet
ing will be the Third Annual Lead
ership Conference for Aggie civi
lian leaders to be held at Lakeview
Methodist Assembly Sept. 30 and
Oct. 1.
Carlo said he expected around 30
civilian student leaders to attend
this • year’s conference.
Other old business to be brought
before the Council tonight will be
a report on the sale of Civilian Ac
tivity and Government tickets.
Proceeds
The tickets are being sold in the
civilian dorms on a voluntary basis.
Proceeds from the sale of the tick
ets are to be used to finance ci
vilian student government, activi
ties such as the Civilian Weekend,
and various dormitory projects such
as dorm barbecues, repairs to dorm
TV sets, and sending dorm repre
sentatives to out-of-town confer
ences and meetings.
New Business
Several vital pieces of new busi
ness will also be brought before the
council.
An election committee will be
appointed to bring the Civilian Stu
dent Council membership up to its
full authorized strength.
Right now, according to Carlo,
the Council needs a freshman rep
resentative, a representative from
Project House, and several Civilian
dormitory representatives.
A constitutional committee will
also be appointed. Last year, the
Aggie Players Rehearse
council approved giving the Civi
lian Yell Leader a vote in CSC af
fairs, however, an amendment to
the constitution must be made to
that effect.
Ushers
The Council will also discuss se

Also to be discussed at the meet
ing will be civilian parking. A spe
cial traffic committee will be ap

Ike-Khruschev Meeting Doubtful
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—Prospects of an Eisenhower-Khrush-
chev meeting got a fresh throw-down Wednesday despite announcement
that President Eisenhower will stay here longer than first planned.
A U. S. spokesman said he knows of no suggestions from the
Soviet Union for a get-together by Premier Nikita Khrushchev "with
Eisenhower, nor is he aware of any from the Asian-African bloc or
other United Nations members.

One Killed in Cuba Power Clash
HAVANA CP)-—One insurgent was killed and a militiaman was
wounded in a clash Wednesday between Fidel Castro forces and an
antigovernment band in the San Cristobal region of Pinar del Rio
Province, informed sources here reported.

Nixon-Kennedy Clash Over Policy
Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy ham
mered at one another Wednesday in their dispute over whether America
is losing ground to the Soviet Union and how much the question should
be argued while the U.N. General Assembly is meeting.
Kennedy, the Democratic presidential nominee,, said Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev and Cuban Primer Minister Fidel Castro “should
hear the voice of the opposition which does not want appeasement.”
Nixon, the Republican presidential nominee, agreed that it isn’t
wrong to point out things to be corrected. But, he declared, “there ought
to be some emphasis on things that are right about the United States.

Nikky May Go To Cuba Next
HAVANA—Reports persisted here Wednesday that Nikita Khrush-
che and his satellite leaders will come to Cuba with Fidel Castro when
the prime minister returns from New York.
These reports say the Cuban leader will join the Soviet premier
and other Communist bosses in a voyage to Cuba aboard the Soviet
liner Baltika, which brought Khrushchev to the United States.
The presidential palace and other official sources said they had
no confirmation of such plans. But some sources close to the Castro
regime insist that detailed plans are already formalized.
Russian Premier Truculent
At UN General Assembly
By The Associated Press
Nikita Khrushchev displayed in
creasing truculence Wednesday
night as a fateful U. N. General
Assembly session waited anxious
ly for spectacular Soviet and
American declarations on the pros
pect for world peace.
While the Soviet premier, in two
separate balcony scenes at the
Russians’ U. N. headquarters in
New York, was issing blasts at
U. S. culture, diplomatic circles
here discussed the possibility that
President Eisenhower would make
two U. N. appearances, one be
fore and one after Khrushchev’s
major address.
Speaks Thursday
Eisenhower speaks Thursday
and is expected to issue several
challenges to the Russians on the
issues causing world tensions.
Krushchev speaks Friday.
But the President is due in New
York again Monday for a sched
uled address to a Catholic chari
ties group. Diplomatic sources
speculated he would be available
to rebut Krushchev should he
deem it necessary.
Khrushchev, Communist bloc
sources said, was carrying one of
his characteristic oratorical bomb
shells with him—what the Com
munists called “dramatic new
proposals.” They would say no
more than that about it. Khrush
chev sat in for about an hour of
the forenoon session of the Gen
eral Assembly, listening while
new member nations implored the
assembly to offer them some pros
pect of relief from the cold war’s
perils.
The Soviet leader seemed glum
at that moment, though unim
pressed by a report of the Soviet
trading agency, Amtorg, of an as
sassination plot against him in
volving a gun concealed in a cam
era.
Cast Doubt
Police cast doubt on the story,
and there was speculation it was
a piece of complicated Commun
ist propaganda.
As he left for Soviet U. N. head
quarters on Park Avenue, Khrush
chev seemed dour and out of sorts,
arousing speculation about his
health.
But suddenly, at the Park Ave
nue building, he appeared in his
shirt sleeves for a shouted give-
and-take with reporters below, and
his mood was back effusive again.
And, once again suddenly, he
reappearing on the balcopy in the
evening. This time he seemed in
a mood to bait Americans. Ob
viously he was angry at being
confined, for security reasons, to
Manhattan.
But once again, his mood chang
ed with lightning swiftness. He
was back to joking again.
In the first balcony scene,
Khrushchev complained he was
“under house arrest” because of
being confined to Manhattan. He
insisted the American people
‘more than ever” were welcoming
his visit.
