Dulles Praises Total Effect Of Conference on Germanv
Washington—(U.P.)—Secretary of State John Foster Dulles returned today from the nine-power London conference on West German sovereignty and said it produced "solid results" to preserve and strengthen the Atlantic community.
Secretary Dulles praised the European nations for their swift action on the German problem just 33 days after France killed the European Defense community. He said he hoped the United States will cooperate with the London conference agreement "because to do so will be very much in our national interest."
"The London conference produced solid results," he said. "It worked out a system, in place of the European Defense community, which can preserve and strengthen the Atlantic community by giving it a hard core of European unity.
"Thus it salvages many of the values of the EDC plan, and will give opportunity for the other values to be achieved by further effort." he said in a statement.
The U.S. and eight of its West European allies yesterday signed a lengthy protocol calling for quick West German sovereignty, establishing a complicated system for its rearmament, and providing for its admission to the North Atlantic
Treaty organization and the Brussels pact.
sers place.
Beginning today, Secretary Dulles said, the U.S., British, and French high commissioners in Germany "will forego the exercise of most of their occupation rights."
He also said Germany will join the North Atlantic Treaty organization under the London agreement and thus "make its indispensable contribution to the defense of the West."
Secretary Dulles said Britain made "a momentous long term commitment" of its forces to the European continent.
Noting that much of the London agreement will require "further approvals by other nations and by parliaments," he refused to say whether he feared the French assembly might reject the London agreement as it did EDC.
High Court Starts Session
Secretary Dulles said he had "no plans at all" when asked about reporting to President Eisenhower in Denver on the conference results.
Washington — (U.P.)—The supreme court solemnly began its 165th year today amid rumblings of discontent over its historic decision last spring against racial segregation in the nation's schools.
For years, a buzzer sounds at the stroke of noon, a gavel raps, and the spectators fall silent as the justices enter from behind a dark red curtain to take their places in order of seniority at the mahogany bench.
The court itself will open hearings in December on how and when the states must wipe out racial segregation. Its final orders probably will not come until some time next spring.
About 100 lawyers were called before the bench to be admitted formally to supreme court practice.
As the nine black robed justices assembled in the marbled court there were sporadic protests—and some disorder—in Maryland and Delaware over the segregation ban.
Auditions for the University theater drew 97 students. Friday night in addition to a number of students who tried out last year. Dr. John Newfield, professor of drama, said casts for theater productions will be selected from this group.
The auditions were open to all University students and included acting, singing, dancing, scene designing, costuming, and all forms of stage work.

Bobwhite Wings Displayed At Dyche Museum Exhibit
A collection of bobwhite quail wings is the new monthly exhibit now on display on the main floor in Dyche museum.
Washington — (U.P.) — Herbert Hoover, Jr., was sworn in as Undersecretary of State and the nation's No. 2 diplomat today, and his father was on hand for the ceremony.
Thirty-three years ago former President Hoover took the oath at Secretary of Commerce and moved on to the White House eight years later. His son, however, had no such goal as he appeared to be sworn in at the State Department.
Hoover Sworn In As Dulles' Aide
He wants no part of politics as a career although he is a dyed-in-the* wool Republican and proud if it. He stands four-square for a non-partisan foreign policy approach so far as he sees his new job.
The swearing in ceremony shifted Hoover from a tiny second floor office at the rear of the State department to a huge panelled room on the fifth floor front. It is just a few steps and about six stenographers from his boss' office, Secretary John Foster Dulles. Hoover's new office has a White House phone at arm's reach. If he picks it up, a light flashes on at the White House switchboard six blocks away.
Hoover got the tiny office a year ago when Dulles summoned him to Washington to take his first government job. It was to work out an oil agreement between Iran and Britain. He made such a success of the long negotiations that President Eisenhower and Dulles wouldn't let him go home to Pasadena, Cal.
Book Lecture Scheduled
The second annual picnic lecture on books and bibliography will be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Strong auditorium. Peter Murray Hill, British bookseller, will speak on "Two Augustan Book-sellers: John Dunton and Edmund Curill."
- The bobwhite wings are collected to study certain technical facts which enable the authorities to more accurately predict the quail population throughout the state.
The purpose of this prediction is to give the quail hunter a fair estimate of the prospect for future quail seasons and to determine whether any species are snowing signs of becoming extinct.
signals of second. Also, the age of the bird can be closely estimated by the measurement and study of its wings.
The exhibit has been completed through the efforts of the State Biological Survey, which, three years ago, requested that all sportsmen throughout the state send in one wing from each quail taken.
Although this request was not compulsory, hunters cooperated to the fullest, with the result that the survey has been a pleasing success. During the past year, a total of almost 3,000 quail wings were received.
Dr. R. H. Baker, head of the department of modern vertebrates, supervised the construction of the display.
