Algerian Rebels Surrender;
One General Reported Dead
By The Associated Press
PARIS—The generals’ revolt in
Algeria collapsed Wednesday with
the surrender of Gen. Maurice
Challe and the reported suicide of
Gen. Raoul Salan. The French gov
ernment confirmed Challe’s surren
der but had no official word on
Salan’s suicide.
The office of President Charles
de Gaulle announced that Challe
had put himself at the disposition
of the French government.
Challe’s surrender spelled the
end for the dramatic insurrection
of paratroops and dissident gen
erals that began Saturday.
Paratroops have pulled out of
Algiers, the last big Algerian city
held by the insurgents.
The insurection ended with dra
matic suddenness—as it began.
In the announcement from De
Gaulle’s Elysee Palace there was
no mention of the other top gen
erals involved—Andre Zeller and
Edmond Jouhaud.
De Gaulle had already opened
the legal proceedings that could
result in death sentences for all
the insurgent leaders.

fly-
Hosted by A&M for the first
time, the meet makes its third ap
pearance in Texas; both previous
meets in Texas were held in Fort
Woz'th at Texas Christian Univer
sity.
Three categories of competition
will be included in the meet: pow

A fly-a-way breakfast Sunday at
Easterwood Airport will officially
end the meet.
The Air Force exhibition team,
the Thunderbirds, in their demon
strations in all pax-ts of the world
have as their objective a threefold
mission:
First: For the most favoi'able
display of USAF technical and pro

Second: To demonsti’ate the team
work, coordination, discipline and
precision flying ability that is re
quired and vitally necessary for a
highly effective combat-capable
air power.
Thii'd: Through x-apid and com
plete unit deployment, split-sec
ond timing of men and machines,
long-range in-flight refueling and
an ever-ready state of prepared
ness, to graphically illustrate and
epitomize the flexibility and po
tential of all commands in the U.

Deadlines Near
Friday is the deadline for both

Paris when the collapse of the re
bellion became apparent.
Radio Algiers first reported the
suicide of Salan and the suiTender
of Challe.
The voice of the insui’gents, i*a-
dio Algiers, was recaptured Tues
day night by French marines and
immediately rejoined the French
national network.
It reported Gaullist forces were
taking over the French Noi'th Af
rican capital, the last major hold
out remaining in the hands of in
surgents-
Oran and Constantine earlier
had been reported back in Gaul
list hands.
One salient fact stood out in a
welter of confusion in Algiers:
The insurrection that vowed to
keep Algeria under French rule
against De Gaulle’s course for
dealing with Nationalists was dy
ing in high di’ama.
The generals’ coup, came with
out warning early last Saturday
morning, and France had gone on
the defense in anticipation of an
air borne invasion of Paris from
Algeria.
De Gaulle had taken the stexm-
est measures with orders tej wipe
out the insurgents by war if nec
essary. The tide seemed to turn
quickly after that.
Algiers radio claimed that “i’e-
publican law and oi’der” was be
ing re-established in the capital of
the North African teri'itory.
The report followed a broadcast
saying that street fighting had
raged briefly in the streets of the
capital Tuesday night.
The fighting was reported after
Gaulle, with wide support of his
military arms, ordered Fi’ench
soldiers in Algeria to smash the
Algiers genei’als’ x’evolt with open
warfare if necessary.
The street fighting appai’ently
broke out about the time the in-
sui’gent leadership called for a
mass rally.
Radio Algiers reported the fight
ing, in a brief bx*oadcast, and then
said the situation had returned to
normal. The radio carried an ap
peal to the people of Algiers to
I’emain calm and go home.
While it was still uncertain here
whether the rebels still controlled
Algiers, radio transmitted a dis
patch from David Mason, Associat
ed Press correspondent who> sailed
across the Mediterranean from
France with other newsmen to
reach Algiei’S.
Mason reported that life in Al
giers appeared normal except that
one noted strong military guards
at strategic points and much of the
city was decorated with blue, white
and red.

Giving
By GERRY BROWN
Plans are completed in preparation for the annual Aggie
Blood Drive to be held tomorrow in G. Rollie White Colisreum.
The actual donating will take place from 8 a. m. until 3 p. m.
and a large number of donors is hoped for.
Student Welfare Committee Chairman Clayton L&Grone
reminds students that everyone may give blood in tomorrow’s
drive although they were not able to register beforehand.
Supervising the collection of the blood will be staff mem
bers from the Wadley Research Institute & Blood Bank lo
cated in Dallas.
The contribution that A&M makes tomorrow will be used
in helping 22 clinics and hospitals in 15 cities. The blood
also aids in the research di- 4-
rected toward cure of Leuke
mia or cancer of the blood
which causes the death of
12.000 persons in the United
States each year.
The Wadley Research Institute
and Blood Bank was established
as an independent, non-profit or
ganization by Mr. and Mrs. J. K.
Wadley of Texarkana, Ark., in
memory of their little grandson
who died of leukemia. The insti
tute exists solely from gifts, re
search grants and services render
ed.
Research scientists at the insti
tute study blood diseases of all
types with major interest placed on
blood cancer, hemophilia and var
ious anemias. Patients are usually
refei’red by their family doctors.
They come fi’om 38 different states
and three foreign countries.
The institute’s staff processes
25.000 pints of blood each year and
is composed of 123 members.
Through its research it has been
responsible for a number of ad
vancements including:
1. Discovery of a new and impoi't-
ant kind of antibody.
2. Discovery of a process for the
large scale pi - oduction of potent
anti-Rh serum.
3. Identification of the “little d”
factor of the blood-
4. Development of the Adtevac
process of drying blood plasma
from the frozen state.
Prospective donors are asked to
report to the blood station which
will be located just inside the
physical education entrance on the
east side of the coliseum, anytime
between 8 a. m. and 3 p. m. to
morrow. Beds have been taken
from the college hospital and
placed in the coliseum to accommo
date the donors. Refreshments will
also be served.

Minutes Changed
To Correct Error
The A&M System Board of Di
rectors Saturday offically correc
ted the minutes of their Feb. 25
meeting, giving System backing to
the proposed change in the name
of the school to “Texas A&M Uni
versity.”
The minutes of the February
meeting indicated the Board au
thorized A&M System Chancellor
M. T. Harrington to “prepare and
secure the introduction of a bill
into the Texas Senate to change
the name of the Texas Agricultural
and Mechanical College to the Tex
as Agricultural and Mechanical
University, and change the name
of the Texas Agricultural and Me
chanical College System to the
Texas Agricultural and Mechan
ical University System,” accord
ing to System Information Direc
tor Henderson Shuffler.
The minutes were amended to
read, . . change the name of
the Texas Agricultural and Me
chanical College to Texas A&M
University, and change the name
of the Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical College System to
the Texas A&M University Sys
tem.”
Texas A&M University was the
name originally recommended by
the College Name-Change Study
Committee and approved by the
Executive Committe and the Aca-
| demic Council.
“The ‘A&M’ in the corrected
minutes is written ‘A-ampersand-
M’ with no punctuation and no
space between the figures,” Shuf
fler said.
A bill (SB302) to change the
name of A&M to Texas State Uni
versity and the Agricultural and
Mechanical College was introduced
in the Senate March 8 by Bryan
Senator William T. Moore.
At the time Moore said the Board
of Directors had requested he in
troduce a bill to change the name
to Texas Agricultural and Mechan
ical University.
“Such a name defeats the pur
poses of putting university in the
name. A university contains many
schools, not just schools of agri
culture and engineering,” he said.
A spokesman for the Board of
Directors said the Board wanted
Texas A&M University, with A&M
being independent of any connec
tion with the words “agricultural”
or “mchanical.”
The bill is still pending on the
floor of the Senate, however noth
ing has come from Austin concern
ing the status of the bill for some
time. Indications are that an
amendment will be introduced
changing the name to Texas A&M
University when the bill is brought
before the Senators.
‘Activation’
Lecture Set
Tomorrow Nile
“The Potentialities of Activation
Analysis” will be the theme of a
graduate lecture to be delivered by
Dr. W. Wayne Meinke tomorrow
at 7:30 p. m. in Room 211 of the
W. T. Doherty Petroleum Engi
neering Building.
He is an associate professor of
chemistry, Memorial Phoenix Pro
ject, University of Michigan. The

“Activation analysis is a quan
titative and qualitative analytical
procedure which makes use of the
characteristic irridation resulting
from nuclear activation,” Dr.
Wayne C. Hall, Dean of the Grad
uate School, says.
“While activation analysis is a
relatively new procedure, over 70
of the elements have been analyzed
by this method, and often in de
grees of sensitivity which are un
matched by other analytical tech
niques. Meinke is considered one of
the outstanding national authori
ties in this important new field.”
Meinke received his BA degree
from Overland College in 1947 af
ter completing service in the Navy.
He then studied at the University
of California where he received
his PhD in Nuclear Chemistry in
1950. He joined the staff of the
Department of Chemistry at the
University of Michigan in 1950.
His chief professional interests
are in the radiochemical field in
cluding activation analysis, radio
chemical separations, and study of
nuclear decay schemes. He is
author or co-author of approxi
mately 80 papers in this area. He
is also chairman of the subcom
