Mr. Eisenhower reiterated in a special shortwave broadcast beamed overseas that his Mid-East resolution, now pending in Congress, is designed "to help bring stability" to
'the troubled areas.
The President spoke as U.S. officials voiced hope that the Israeli troop deadlock may be broken.
Apparently a new American approach was being worked out to the question of guaranteeing Israel against future Egyptian attacks. Israel also was said to have modified its demands for safeguards before pulling out of Egyptian territory.
After three years of preparation University Extension is offering a course in natural gas which has met with phenomenal success, according to T. Howard Walker, Extension director.

Eugene A. Stephenson, professor emeritus of petroleum engineering, edited the writings and contributed to some of the sections.
"Proof that the course is being accepted is indicated by the fact that 14 enrollments have been made during its first month of existence," Mr. Walker said. "Further evidence of success is that the registration fee is $65 and that the text sells for $14.85," he said.

ATTENTION: all Cadets!
"My superiors report that I have a sloppy Battalion. I got chewed so now it is my turn to do some chewing in return. Today I had the pleasure of 'issuing' two demerits to every cadet who had a soiled, wrinkled,—to put it in simple words—a scourngy uniform on his lowly body. Yeah, I know its tough, but that's the law of the jungle, the way the grapefruit squirts. There's really no excuse for this because we all know that New York Cleaners do such an excellent job of cleaning your uniform, in fact it is one of their specialities. Let's make our motto, 'I'll have my uniform Demerit Proofed at New York Cleaners today.'"
Let's Make This "Uniform Clean-Up Week."
