A Top-Flight
There’s Room For More
Hey! Ag-gies and citizens of the Bryan-College Station
area haven’t you heard ? The Aggies are leading the South
west Conference basketball race.
The 5,000 or so people that occupied G. Rollie White
Coliseum Tuesday night was a pretty poor showing for a
community with more than 40,000 citizens—not counting the
8,000 students here. We’re happy to report that the Ags
are more inclined to keep their eyes on the scoreboard than
on the stands.
Now we would suggest that all these people who wish
to be considered Aggies be present for the A&M-Arkansas
tussel Saturday night. There are just one great number
of people in the Bryan-College Station area that like to be
considered good Aggie fans. There are seats available in
G. Rollie for them, also.
We’re not reminding you of these Aggie games because
the team needs your support. We just want everyone to
see some of the smoothest basketball ever played in the
Southwest. When you see those Aggies play you will see
some of the finest roundball to come to this part of the
country in a long time.
Cushing Library
Provides New Game
Now that hula-hoops, elephant jokes, and Tom Swifties
have run their course, a new game has been devised by
students to occupy idle minds—It’s called “Find the Book
in Cushing Library.”
The rules are simple. Enlist th^ aid of several buddies
and converge on Cushing, pencil in hand, to check out as
many reference books as possible. The one surpassing the
formidable obstacles and who checks out the most books is
declared the winner, and his team retires to the nearest pub.
The first barrier to a speedy finish is the inability to
find trays in the card catalogue Which other students have
cleverly hidden atop desks, under chairs and tables and in
adjoining rooms.
Next is the most formidable barrier. After pains
takingly filling out dozens of call slips on the books you
have found to be most helpful to the course you are taking,
watch the runners systematically discard one slip after
another because the book has been “misplaced,” checked
out by our neighbors at South Gate, put on reserve, put in
the required reading room, checked out for a whole semester
by a professor, or in a rare instance—checked out by a fellow
Aggie.
The game can be fun unless your ante is grade points.
Then it becomes disheartening to find that Cushing Library,
one of the finest university libraries in the South, can be
of little help because you simply can’t locate a reference
book.
A solution won’t be easy, but a start in the right
direction would be to limit the loan period of all books to
28 days, and to provide extra copies of often-used books
which have been put on reserve.—R.L.F.
Oregon Pitch
“ . . . Now get this—when Dr. von Braun finishes speak
ing, I go to interview him like I’m a reporter! I take my
math book and before he knows it—bang—we’re doin’ my
homework!”
PORTLAND, Ore. <A>> — Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller comes
campaigning' Thursday into Ore
gon where a top-flight state or
ganization has more than a
month of solid work behind it.
Sen. Barry Goldwater’s back
ers, who watched in some dis
may while this work was going
on, are just now putting their
organization together.
The New York governor and
the Arizona senator will be in
Oregon’s May 16 Republican
presidential primary. So will j
Richard M. Nixon, former vice
president. There may be more.
Goldwater built up a great
momentum in the fall, but the
Draft Goldwater organization
quit when the Arizona senator
announced his candidacy. Then
the national organization had
trouble finding a state chairman.
It settled on Dr. Edwin M.
Durno, 65, retired physician and
one-term congressman, who is
starting this week to put an or
ganization together.
If Nixon’s backers plan a cam
paign so he will show strength
in the primary, they have yet
to show their hand.
Rockefeller’s supporters are at
work under an experienced team
headed by William Walsh, 61,
Coos Bay attorney and one-time
state Senate president. He re
signed from the state board of
Higher Education, which runs
the state universities and col
leges, to take command.

De Gaulle Efforts Will Not
Remove Bamboo Curtain
Zone Probe Is Postponed
WASHINGTON (A 5 ) _ The Or
ganization of American States
failed Wednesday to set up a
commission to probe Panama’s
charge of ageression by the
United States.
The OAS council voted 16 to 1
Tuesday night to invoke the In
ter-American Treaty of Mutual
Assistance to consider the
charge.
Ellsworth Bunker, U. S. am
bassador to the OAS, said the
United States “welcomes a full
investigation” that he said will
demonstrate Panama’s charge is
false.
The aggression charge grew
out of U. S.-Panamanian differ
dices over the Panama Canal.
Under the 1947 treaty, the open'a crackU

By ROY ESSOYAN
TAIPEI, Formosa (A*) — The
Bamboo Curtain probably will
remain tightly drawn around
Red China for years to come,
whatever the outcome of the
French effort to establish rela
tions with that Communist giant.
If President Charles de Gaul
le’s diplomatic efforts survive the
many pitfalls in their path—and
if Red China can surmount the
formidable built-in obstacles that
keep it out of the United Na
tions —— the Bamboo Curtain
even more impotent than Soviet
vetoes have left it in past East-
West crises.
The Chinese Communists are
expected to remain adamant in
their attitude toward the West
for some time to come.

what is called the organ of con
sultation which is empowered to
suggest collective measures to
insure the peace. It decided to
set up an investigating body to
probe the aggression charge.
But a meeting of the organ
of consultation scheduled Wed
nesday to appoint the factfinding
group was called off — the sec
ond postponement within 24
hours. An OAS spokesman said
the council “might meet tomor
row.”
But it will not be flung wide
open for a long time.
That is the thinking of West
ern and Chinese experts in Hong

studying Red China’s behavior
patterns for years.
The few Chinese Communists
you can talk to in Hong Kong
agree.

drunk-driving suspects.
Police Chief Dan Liu said
the movies will be in color, and
possibly will have a soundtrack.
Liu said the movies should

along with the Western powers
or the United Nations?” a Chi
nese official here asked.
Few here believe Red China
will actually enter the United
Nations in the foreseeable fu
ture unless the United States
abandons Nationalist China, that
possibility is considered remote.
Even if Red China wins a seat
in the General Assembly by a
two-thirds majority that would
not automatically mean a Pe
king representative will come
striding down the U. N. corridors.
Peking is not expected to ac
cept a U.N. seat so long as a rep
resentative of Nationalist China
is seated there. To do so would
be to abandon all claim to For
mosa and to admit the sover
eignty of this anti-Communist
island 100 miles off the China
coast.
Hong Kong students of Chi
nese communism consider this
inconceivable.
“Red China’s real problem is
not to win a seat in the United
Nations but to oust Nationalist
China from its seat,” a political
expert here said.
