He criticzed the United States and Britain-PortugaPs major al- lies-and the United Nations for their faiilure to give Portugal more than oral backing in the enclave war of Dec. 18-19. “When small nations are de feated it is sad and afflicting,” Salazar said, “but the inability of the great to defend the right is incomparably graver.” H 1961-1962 DIRECTORIES OFFICES - STAFF - STUDENTS of TEXAS A&M COLLEGE AVAILABLE Student Publications Office YMCA Bldg. $1.00 Per Copy Plus 2% Sales Tax MMWWUIIIHIIHMBMMMI Aggie Confectioners These Aggies are finishing up a 50-pound batch of pecan fudge, a class project in a horticulture fruit and vegetable processing course.
