Dulles, Faure Reach Accord On Indochina
Paris — (U.P.)— Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Premier Edgar Faure announced early today they had reached "complete agreement" on the Indochina crisis that brought a dangerous diplomatic rift between the United States and France.
In what appeared to be a major victory for American foreign policy France agreed to join the United States in supporting Premier Ngo Dinh Diem in his battle to save free Viet Nam from Communism. Emperor Bao Dai would remain as head of state.
The Franco-American agreement on Indochina came in a meeting that ended shortly after midnight this morning. It was not a contractual agreement but set out what Premier Faure called the "complete harmony of views" between France and the United States.
Premier Faure, who recently called Premier Diem "incapable" of doing his job, agreed reluctantly to back him. But the two nations demanded early elections in Viet Nam—the French want them in July—and that Premier Diem's government should be "strengthened" or "broadened."
Both France and the United States agreed to remove officials who cannot carry out their nation's policies. The United States also promised to use its influence to try to get Premier Diem to tone down anti-France sentiments and propaganda.
The subject of absentee Emperor Bao Dai was tactily skirted over, but the lack of definite action on him left him in his place as legal chief of state.

480 Extra Hours Spent On Alpha Phi Crest
By WALTER BASKETT
The average student considers spending approximately 800 hours a semester in class and studying quite a sacrifice to make in getting a college education. But when you find two students who are each willing to spend nearly 250 additional hours working without pay on a sorority project, you've got to admit that's unusual.
Annette Luthy, education junior,
and Phyllis Sims, engineering senior,
have just finished working more
of 480 hours on a huge model of
a crest for use in decoration of their
new Alpha Phi social sorority house,
now being constructed in West
Hills. They have been working
since February on the clay model,
which is 7 feet 3 inches high by 5
feet 2 inches wide.
It all started last winter when original architect's plans were submitted to the chapter for approval. Although the plans called for a crest at each end of the house, it had not been decided who was to manufacture the crests.
Elden Tefft, instructor in sculpture, noticed an article about the plans in the Kansan, and, after talking to Miss Luthy, a student in his class, decided it might be an interesting project if the crests could be manufactured at KU. After the necessary approval was secured from the sorority, work on the undertaking proceeded.
The two women volunteered. Supervision was provided by Mr. Tefft. First it was necessary to find a copy of the sorority seal from which a clay model could be fashioned. After hours of examining crests gleaned from sorority histories, official correspondence, and contacting the national office for an official copy of the seal, none could be found which met the necessary requirements.
Hawkwatch Ballots Will Be Recounted
Other officers elected yesterday were Larry Heil, journalism junior, as vice-president; Dean Burton, business junior, as secretary, and Del Hadley, college sophomore, as treasurer.
Lt. (j.g.) Pat Barrett, adviser for the society, said the voting was too close to decide which candidate had a definite margin.
The girls had to draw up a copy themselves. They made a composite drawing, using the crests which they had gathered for models, but they had to make many slight modifications which were required for making a clay model suitable for reproduction. This final drawing was approved by national headquarters, and work began on the clay model.
A recounting of votes will be taken to determine whether Don Johnston, business junior, or Jerry Rosenlund, engineering junior, was elected as president of the NROTC Hawkwatch society.
After the clay model was completed the girls cast a plaster mold. This provided a small amount of entertainment, as the girls were able to stand back and throw plaster at the model.
A wooden armature was cut out. Onto this armature clay was painstakingly applied in small strips about the size of a finger. These strips were slowly built up, and modeled into the general outline of the crest. Fashioning such details as the stars in the lower part of the crest, and the letters on the scroll at the top required hours of careful work.
Clay was pressed into the plaster cast and two final impressions were made. The casts will be fired, glazed, and installed in their final positions outside the house.
