Page Two March 29. Ile4f04id Ut^ Sff444ine> B4f CaAxU Qam/pMeU News of the World liast week the eyes of the world were on two meetings carried on by four international leaders. One was; The Bermuda Conference — beginning last Wednesday President Eisenhower met with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of England in an attempt to mend the rift between the United States and Mr. Macmillan’s homeland caused by the Anglo-French invasion of Egypt. The principle questions under diseu.ssion were the Middle East, the United Nations, N.A.T.O. and Communist China. The results of this meeting which have been released .so far goes as follows: the U. S. will alter its policy towards the Baghdad Pact and has agreed to participate in the organizations military planning against Communist attack. The reason we had not backed this Pact be fore was that the nationalistic Arab countries are bitterly opposed to it as an “imperialistic” venture. The next result of the meeting was an an nouncement that the U. S. and Britain expect Egypt 'to comply with the “spirit as well as the letter” of II. N. resolutions dealing with the Middle East. Unsatisfied with the uncompromising atti tude taken by Egypt in the talks between Ilammarskjold and Nasser (see further on), the Bermuda talks also centered on economic pressures that could be brought to bear against Egypt. The United States agreed to supply Britain with guided missiles and to re strict methods of testing nuclear weapons in order to reduce dangers of radiation to the people of the world. Perhaps the most telling and important agreement of the meeting \cas one that was not included in the official communique for fear of offending the other allies of the United States. This is the intention to re-establish the old wartime cooperation between the United States and Britain and establish joint intelligence and planning systems. All of which is an evident attempt between the two countries to avoid any further mis understandings and to strengthen our defense of the Western World. As Mr. Macmillan put it, it is absolutely essential “to build up the .strong ti’adition of Anglo-American friendship upon which the whole life and future of the free world depends.” if. if. -if. The other meeting that took place simul taneously with the Bermuda Conference, "but which looks as if it will bring forth no agree ment are the talks in Cairo. Last Friday U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold began talks with Colonel Nasser in Cairo for the pm-- pose of obtaining Nasser’s assurances that Egypt will allow the U. N. E. F. to continue occupation of all parts of Gaza with general responsibility for security. Since Nasser’s army is in a weakened con dition from the Anglo-French invasion, Nasser is not against the U. N. remaining in Gaza as a protection from the Israeli troops, but he won’t sign any agreement. This, you see, would be admitting weakness and affront national pride. Egypt has claimed that since there has been no final peace settlement in the Palestine War, she is entitled to blockade Israel as a right of belligerency, but .so far two ships doing busi ness with Israel have successfully passed through the Gidf of Aqaba. As for the Suez control question, Egypt’s maintaining a technical state of war with Israel brings a complete refusal on Israeli shipping. Meanwhile the Edgar Bonnet was at last lifted from the bottom of the Canal by the clearance commission headed by General Wheeler. The Canal is now cleared for ships weighing up to 20,000 tons to pass through. Although Colonel Nasser has made a few slight consessions, there is no indication he will abandon his position about the control of the Canal or the final control of the Gulf of Composed In Class By Anne Catiette A Cigarette One white paper Brown, nubb>- stuffing Trademark writing Two fingers; some dark corner. .A pack of matches Bright flame .A glow in the dark— ■Romance.” Glasses Marvin Hopplegaggly goes to city library.

Beifond. . . ■Aqaba and Gaza. Thus leaves a huge reservoir of potentialities for future trouble in the Mideast. Last Monday President ‘Ramon Magsaysay of the Philippines finished a trip to Cebu, second lar gest Philipino' city, where he had munists and neutralists, and board- made a speech assailing Corn ed a plane for Manila. Minutes later his plane crashed into Mount Balgo and Mr. Magsaysay and 25 others ^vere killed. Under his administration this be loved leader had led his country from the brink of collapse, battled Communist infilteration and govern mental graft and initiated a “New- Deal’j era of social welfare and land reform. On Friday the former President was laid to rest in a tomb bearing the simple inscription, “Ramon Magsaysay, leader of the Philippines.” He was one of this countr\'’s greatest friends. * On Friday came the following extract from the latest report of the American Cancer Society: “Lung cancer occurs much more frequently (five to fifteen times) among cigarette smokers than among nonsmokers, and there is a direct relationship between the in cidence of lung cancer and the amount smoked.” The Study Group concludes that the smoking of tobacco, particularly in the form of cigarettes, is an important health hazard.” Since this is not a con clusive report, the Group is urging, further research in this area. People and Things - I really think an interest in Art is an absolute must. Just a few blocks from Salem, is one of the few galleries of contemporary art on the Eastern seaboard. Along these lines is a new book reviewed in the New York Times Book Sec tion called Masters in Profile by Janet Planner. As an example of the author’s purpose to answer problems in the appreciation of contemporary art is a quotation frorii an interview with Picasso. “The fact that for a long time cubism has not been understood, and that even today (1923) there are people who cannot see anything in it, means nothing. I (^o not read English—an English book is a blank book to me. This does not mean that the English language does not exist, and why should I blame anybody but myself if I cannot understand what I know nothing about?” ^ ^ Through, the maze of bobby-pin ned heads, smoke and coke bottles, I watched the spectacle presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and noted the following awards; Best Movie— “Around the World in 80 Days,” Best Actress—Ingrid Bergman in “Anastasia,” Best Actor—Yul Bry- (Continued on page four) I am the old Salemite. I have been handled with careless hands, cautious hands, reverent hands. I have be« fondled by the editor and defended by tlif staff. I have been cursed and sworn by. On occasion I have been six pages thielj, At other times I have been without any signj, ficant content. I feel I have been read. I was deliverej fairly faithfully. When I wasn’t, somebody complained. So I must have been missed. Last' spring, when I was a baby, my guajj, ians were nervous. Sometimes, in a panit, they stuffed me wvith irrelevant copy. Once I had only one picture and that wasi re-print. But they couldn’t always afford to dress m in style. Things cost so much these days In my adolescence I was quite an egotistiea brk apd thought T could push people arounii Then T heard about persuasion and subtlety And now my life is pretty nearly over. I sorry, too. It seem^ we just grow up to oi idea and then the wheel turns and we’re oii of date. But I won’t morn my own death. I have lot of faith in the idea of “me.” I think had great possibilities which were not entire’ kept concealed. Don’t let anybody tell you that I’ll be liviii; next week. I’ll be gone. The new Salemite will have whole new set of guardians. But the potential is in the idea of a new paper and in the will of her keepers. —Jo Smithermai /l*id ^ke k.eJiOmd.. I am the new Salemite. Next week I will appear for the first time, At night. I lie awake thinking of all tt thing.s I will he. I’ll be the greatest thb that has ever happened to Salem. I’ll set tl campus on fire; I’ll make people think; make people act; I’ll bring about every need reform; I’ll cause people to be interested world affairs. When I wake up in the morning, I tins with excitement as I think of myself with t’ pictures and a cartoon in every issue, with i pages of interesting content at least twice month, and with enough ads to pay for eve printing. T am full of ideas. Everything I see s' gests a feature or an editorial. Some of 1 ideas I write down—the others I forget. I hope I will be read. Sometimes, I wander down to my ' father’s home, and I see how he runs thin It’s then that I realize I’m just an untr baby. In my father’s house, I find an ease perfection, an art that I do not have. I become a terrified child then, and I ^ back to my home where I share my fears w all of the other unseen.babes who will a be born next week. Slowly I forget my complexes. I go to b and the dreams come back again. I know that the world has never seen ; Next week I hope that the world will find to their liking. I think it will like me because I want to good and because I believe, that I can he go —Martha
