Time’s Source
Is Discovered
The Texas Observer turned up
this week as the source of Time
Magazine’s article concerning
A&M.
A similar article in The Ob
server, though much longer, was
penned by the same author and
contained much of the same ma
terial.
College Notes
86th Birthday
A&M quietly noted its 86th
birthday Thursday as Texas’
oldest state-supported institution
of higher education.
No observance was held on
campus, but the fact will be noted
during the first A&M Convoca
tion here Nov. 16.
The college officially opened
Oct. 4, 1876.
College Eyes
Utility Boost
The college power plant may
be awarded a 12,500-kilowatt
capacity steam turbine generat
or, it was announced Thursday.
A $2.4 million contract for the
generator may be awarded at the
November meeting of the System
Board of Directors, President
Earl Rudder said. The cost will
probably be met by the sale of
revenue bonds.
The board has already ap
proved an expansion program to
include the huge turbine gener
ator. The expansion was recom
mended in an engineering report
by a consulting firm.
Bids on the new equipment will
probably be opened sometime
next spring.
Wogs Spoil
Fish Opener
Coach Dick Johnson’s first edi
tion of the Aggie Fish suffered
a 28-13 loss Thursday to the TCU
Wogs in Fort Worth.
A record Fort Worth crowd of
25,000 saw the Wogs charge
from behind with three last-half
touchdowns to win their opener.
The Cadets scored first and
led 13-8 at half time. Then TCU
scored once in the third quarter
and twice in the fourth period
to pull away for the triumph.
The next Fish game is in Waco
Oct. 18 against Baylor.

SOLONS EYE ADJOURNMENT
JFK Wins Trade Powers!
From Rushing Congress
WASHINGTON OP)_Congress
gave President Kennedy just
about all the broad new tariff
slashing powers he asked Thurs
day as Senate and House alter
nately rushed and tugged their
way toward hoped-for Saturday
adjournment.
The trade bill, which topped
Kennedy’s legislative list in the
87th Congress, was first passed
by the House 256-91. A few
hours later the Senate by voice
vote shouted on to the White
House this compromise measure,
polished into shape by a Senate-
House conference.
It gives the President unprec
edented authority to bargain for
lower tariffs worldwide and to
wipe them out in the case qf Eu
ropean Common Market nations
Student Cars Total
More Than 3,500
More than 3,500 student vehicles
have been registered on campus so
far this year, according to Chief
of Campus Security Fred Hickman.
He added that 1,712 faculty and
staff vehicles have also been reg
istered.
Hickman reported his office was
still being swamped with auto reg
istration duties.

for some items. It also provides
for the first time broad govern
ment relief to industries and
workers harmed by opening of
U.S. doors to foreign competi
tion.
House approval, 347-0, sent to
Kennedy a bill clamping tighter
federal controls on production
and sale of prescription drugs.
But the pell-mell drive to go
home was snagged on disagree
ments that somewhat dimmed op
timism for Saturday adjourn
ment. These involved: 1. a bill
to raise postal rates and give pay
raises to 1.6 million federal
workers, 2. the foreign aid money
measure, 3. a $417-million agri
culture appropriation, 4. a $400-
million supplementary appropria
tion.
Along with the big bills that
were passed by Senate and'
House, a host of minor legisla
tion whizzed through with little
or no difficulty.
Among the major bills, the
Senate passed by voice vote a
measure authorizing federal
highway financing aid during
the next two fiscal years ending
June 30, 1965. It was sent to a
Senate-House conference commit
tee.
No progress was made in a
morning session on reconciling
differences between the $4,422,-
800,000 foreign aid appropriation
voted by the Senate and the $3,-
630,400,000 voted by the House.
The agriculture money bill
argument revolved principally
around the House refusal to ap
prove a $1.6-million allotment for
a peanut research laboratory at
Dawson, Ga., insisted on by Sen.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaya
—The Southeast Asia Treaty Or
ganization is showing fresh signs
of internal strain that could
wreck it.
Two of its three Asian mem
bers are squabbling with some
of their Western partners, and
the third is reported to be in a
huff.
Thailand, the SEATO member
closest to Southeast Asia’s pow-
derkeg area, is complaining bit
terly about U.S. arms aid to neu
tralist Cambodia. The Thais
and Cambodians are feuding
about their border. The Thais
refuse to accept U.S. guarantees
that the American weapons will
not be used against them.
The Phillippines—where the
eight-nation SEATO alliance was
born in 1954—is quarreling with
Britain over North Borneo. The
Filipinos claim the territory is
theirs. The British refuse even
to negotiate, saying there is no
basis for the claim.
Indications of a third rift ap
peared in New York when SEA
TO foreign ministers met for in
formal talks. Pakistan did not
show up. Diplomatic sources
said the Pakistanis are enraged
by American assistance to India
and are deliberately displaying
coolness toward SEATO.
The New York meeting itself
was taken by some observers as
a sign of SEATO weakness.
The foreign ministers failed to
hold their formal annual confer
ence this year. It had been
scheduled for Paris in the spring.
It was the first time since the
anti-Communist alliance was
launched that such a conference
had been scratched.
One reason, according to the
best information at the time, was
lack of agreement then on de
mands by Thailand and the Phil
ippines that SEATO be given

more backbone.
Thailand, in particular, had
been highly critical of SEATO
inaction during the height of the
Laos crisis in I960 and 1961.
Blame for this fell chiefly on
France and its reluctance to be
come involved again in Indo
china.
The Thais were somewhat mol
lified by a U.S. move last May
which sent American troops into
Thai territory at a time when
Communists in Laos were making
military gains perilously close to
the Thai border.
Britain, Australia and New
Zealand sent token forces to show
support for the American stand
that, despite SEATO’s rule call
ing for unanimity before action
can be taken, member nations
can act individually to help de
fend one of the group in case
of an open threat.
The New York luncheon meet
ing was designed to bridge the
gap left by the Paris conference
that was not held and to pave
the way for a formal ministerial
session next year, again in Paris.
Pakistan’s absence, plus the re-
cept U.S.-Thai and British-Phil-
ippine disputes, have cast new
doubts that any will be held.
