Western Europe Will Rearm Before Summer
Western Europe began a race against time today to rearm before a possible diplomatic crisis with Russia this summer.
The five Western Union powers approved a master defense and rearmament plan at a two-day meeting which ended Tuesday in London. It calls upon each nation to arm itself and help others as much as possible and asks the United States for weapons Europe cannot make.
The London conference was understood to have decided to defend a line running from Switzerland along the Rhine river to the North sea. France was believed asked to supply 24 divisions, Britain six, Belgium three, Holland two, and Luxembourg one for a joint defense force.
The plan drawn up by Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg will be submitted to other countries which join the Atlantic Pact so that all members can coordinate their efforts to stop the spread of Communism and head off any Soviet attack.
Harold MacMillan, a conservative member of parliament, told Commons last night that time is short. He said he had received his information from "planners in some of the services."
"If there is going to be a world flareup, it might be in July," he said. "If it misses July, it might not turn out for eighteen or twenty-even years." Other News

Six-Week Course Offered In Peru
Spanish students who want to study the language in its native setting, and enjoy foreign travel are offered the chance this summer in a six-week course at San Marcos University, Lima, Peru. The course is sponsored by Louisiana State university and the International house in New Orleans.
American students will be offered their choice of courses in Spanish at four different levels; Peruvian and Latin-American literature and history, archaeology, geography, and fine arts. University credit may be given for the classwork, and courses are approved under the G.I. benefit bill.
One or more planes will be chartered to transport students down and back, for a round-trip fare of $300—approximately half the tourist rate. Tuition at the University will be $100, and the cost of room and board for the six weeks is estimated at $125 to $150.
Application for the Peruvian short course must be received by Sunday May 15, according to the announcement by the co-sponsors. It should be addressed to Dr. John Thompson, Pan-American house, Louisiana State university, Baton Rouge, La.

Be A Good Citizen First Malott Tells Women
Before you become a great career woman, become a great human being, Chancellor Deane W. Malott told members of the house of representatives and senate of the Associated Women Students Tuesday.
Chancellor Malott spoke to the women at the opening dinner of the Careers conference.
"I have little doubt that you will, after careful thought and advice, find a suitable career and effective technical and professional training for it," he said. "I am much more concerned that in your education you find the inspiration for the responsibilities of life itself, for your civic and family responsibilities, and for the art of living in a rather hectic world.
"No one can really teach you that," he added. "It must come from the momentum within yourself to plan first things first." He stressed the need for economy in the use of time, to fit into the schedule the necessary reading, good conversation, recreation, social life, and the study consistent with the individual's own requirements.
"Leadership requires the habit of hustle, of taking short cuts, the willingness to give away time for the community and civic projects. Thus you will join the little group of those who carry on the world's affairs, as opposed to those who merely take a free ride through life," the chancellor said.
The schedule for tomorrow: 10 am, home economies, Pine room, Miss Frances Urban; sociology, East room, Miss Bernice Bish; English, Meyer hall, Miss Pauline Hildinger.
The series of lectures will continue through Thursday.
