INTERPRETING
Do Soviets Want
Further Test Ban?
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
The rule-or-ruin tactics of the
Soviet Union at Geneva, follow
ing the pattern so common to
East-West negotiations over the
years, have raised a question
whether the Communists want a
nuclear test ban beyond what
they have.
After two weary years of nego
tiations in which nothing vital has
been settled, the Soviets are still
demanding an agreement which
would give them veto power over
enforcement.
They now have come ,up with
another argument which the
West might have foreseen—that
continued tests by France will be
for the benefit of the United
States and Britain, outside any
test treaty, therefore putting the
Soviet Union at a disadvantage.
There is an air but not the
body of validity in this. France
has said that she would join in
any controls agreed upon. And
if such controls are to be estab
lished they. will come before
France is ready for any tests in
Social Calendar
The following organizations
will meet:
Sunday
The Aero Wives Club will hold
a picnic and Easter Egg Hunt at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E.
Cronk, 727 North Rosemary in
Bryan. The outing will last from
3-6 p.m.
The West is making it clear,
however, that it is prepared to
negotiate this time on every
phase of the subject. There is no
deadline or threat. But behind
the scenes the Soviet Union
understands that time has been
allowed for discussion at every
point without some visible ap
proach to agreement, the shoiv
will be over.
Monday
The Chemical Engineers Wives
Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. in
the South Solarium of the YMCA.
J. Gordon Gay will show slides
of his visit to the Holy Land.

which Britain and the United
States, far advanced, would be
interested.
France intends, however, to
have herself a nuclear force be
fore she ties her hands, not pri-,
marily as a deterrent against the
Soviet Union but for use as a
lever in trying to maintain equali
ty with her allies.
It’s something the Kremlin can
use, however, in explaining to
the world why it proposed a nu
clear ban and now refuses to ac
cept one despite all the conces
sions the United States and
Britain have made.
The list of concessions offered
by the West as the conference
resumed are reshapings of meas
ures offered before. They are
important primarily as propa
ganda indicating a positive ap
proach, as against the entirely
negative attitude of the Soviet
Union so far.
Cooperation in tests for peace
ful uses of atomic devices, at the
same time studying the technical
means of detecting underground
tests which might be directed at
military uses, is an idea which
has been kicked around ever
since the discussions started.
The following firms will inter
view graduating seniors just
after the spring break:
April 4
Howard, Needles, Tammen and
Bergendoff will hold interviews
for majors in civil engineering for
work in detailing and designing
of expressways, highways and
bridges in Kansas City, Mo.
★ ★ ★
April 4-5
Joske’s of Texas will interview
majors in accounting, business
administration, economics and
marketing for training in the
Executive Training Program to
learn the technical aspects of
large department store opera
tions.
★ ★ ★
The Procter and Gamble Co.
will hold interviews for students
one year from their final degree
for summer employment. They
seek majors in chemical engineer
ing, civil engineering, industrial
engineering, mechanical engineer
ing, petroleum engineering, and
electrical engineering.

April 5
United Gas Pipe Line Co. will
have interviews for majors in
civil engineering and mechanical
engineering for work as assistant
engineers in surveying, drafting,
preparing various engineering
studies, design and construction
of pipe lines and other facilities.
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Secretary of
the Treasury Douglas Dillon says
Britain now is making a foreign
aid effort roughly in scale with
that of the United States.
But Dillon said this country
has had much less success in
persuading West Germany to
shoulder a proportionate part of
the burden of helping under
developed countries. He said
Japan is carrying out a fairly
reasonable program, but could do
more.
Dillon, who as undersecretary
of state in former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s admin
istration supervised the U. S.
foreign aid program, gave his
views at a closed-door session of
a House Appropriations subcom
mittee Feb. 16. The transcript
was made public Thursday.
Dillon said in reply to a®ques
tion the United States has. had
some success during the past two
years in persuading allies to help
this country extend foreign aid
to underdeveloped countries.
“Great Britain, for instance,
in the past two or three years
has about doubled the amount of
money they put into the foreign
aid field, so they are footing
somewhat less than $500 million
of governmental aid per year
now. For England that is roughly
comparable on a relative scale to
what we are doing.
“As to Germany we have had
much less success. We have been
talking to them for quite some
time. Originally they did not
. . when I said shine, I meant my shoes.’

Announce
Schedule
The negative attitude displayed
by the Soviets at the start sug
gests that negotiation, not agree
ment, is her real objective.
Negotiation'" has produced an un
guaranteed ban. The West is
becoming very suspicious of it.

nounced their schedules for the
coming week:

Communion at 8 a.m. and Morn
ing Prayer services at 9:15 and
11 a.m. At all services Palm
Crosses will be blessed and dis
tributed. At 9:45 a.m. there will
be Church school and Layreader’s
training session will be at 4 p.m.
The A&M Presbyterian Church

be at 9:30 a.m., Sunday School will

a.m. there will be a service of

Editor,
The Battalion:
1,488 for A&M University, 144
for SB 302, “a few” for no name-
change at all.
The petition, which showed
The Battalion a feeling among
students that a name-change
would benefit the college, can be
viewed in a different light if one
fact is known.
The petition had no place on it
for signatures of persons who
wanted no name-change. It was
presented to me, and I suspect
many others, as a choice of two
names in the event the name
would be changed.
I challenge the originator(s) of
the seemingly loaded petition to
get the same results with a peti
tion of the three choices instead
of the lesser of two evils.

Favors Vote
Editor,
The Battalion:
The letter to the editor of The
Battalion in the Mar. 22 issue
from Miguel P. Garcia has a good
deal of sense. He states that we
should use the voting machines
to take a vote of the feelings of
the present students of Texas
A&M on the name-change issue.
I agree with him 100 per cent on
this proposition, and would like
very much to have a chance to
voice my opinion. As a civilian
student living in Walton Hall, I
did not have a chance when the
vote was taken through the dorms
in the Corps of Cadets.
Another issue that I would like

As Mr. Garcia said, “The right

one soon, and include all stu
dents, both civilian students and
