It seems that when the three student car wash areas were opened recently precautions were taken to make sure no one re moved the hoses from the water faucets. Adept B&U master craftsmen soldered the hoses to the con nections to prevent thefts. Now, a thinking thief has ta ken the hose from the Law Hall site by cutting it off about a foot from the tap. Tom Cherry, director of busi ness affairs for the college, warned that the school cannot continue to provide such serv ices as the car wash sites unless there is a mutual understanding not to steal the hoses. “We will replace the hose this time but we would not be able to supply hoses indefinitely,” he said.

Set in 15th century England, the three-act play tells the fanciful story of Thomas Mendip, a very cynical young soldier seeking ideal istic martyi’dom.

Kennedy Given Harriman’s Indian Report WASHINGTON UP) — President Kennedy has received a firsthand report from W. Averell Harriman hut made no decision on how much long-term U.S. arms aid should go to India. In reporting this, highly placed U.S. authorities said short-term emergency American military as sistance would continue to be rushed to India for some time to come because of equipment losses Indian troops have suffered from the Red Chinese attacks. Harriman, assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affams, re turned last Saturday from a special mission to India and Pakistan to assess what help the United States should provide. He spent an hour and 20 min utes at the White House telling Kennedy and other top officials of his one-week trip. The U.S. government has made no secret of its willingness to help India withstand the Communist Chinese onslaught. But there has been considerable uncertainty about what assistance should be provided, and the an swers have apparently not yet been worked out. The emergency shipments, which have been going on since October, consist of automatic, weapons, am munition and gear of special value in mountain fighting, officials said.
