French Upper House Grants Emergency Power To Pflimlin
PARIS—(UP)—The Council of the Republic (Upper House) voted Premier Pierre Pflimlin emergency powers for Algeria today in another sweeping parliamentary victory over Gen. Charles de Gaulle.
The Upper House passed the bill into law by a vote of 233 to 62 in what amounted to the Premier's second informal vote of confidence in two days. The Low-
Lebanon Protests Arab Intervention
BEIRUT, Lebanon—(UP)—Lebanon has protested to the Arab League against "unfriendly intervention in its internal affairs" by the United Arab Republic, it was officially announced today.
he added that the possibility of taking the Lebanese protest to the United Nations security council was "still alive."
The protest was delivered to the Arab League headquarters in Cairo Tuesday night, a foreign office spokesman said.
He said the government had not yet made any decision on carrying out the U.N. protest, which was first brought up last week.
er House passed it by a thumping 473 to 93 Tuesday night.
It was a major parliamentary victory for Pflimlin, with only the extreme right-wing groups and the Gaullist followers voting against him. But political observers said it would only postpone de Gaulle's ultimate struggle for power.
Informed sources said Pflimlin was
sending Gen. Henri Lorillot, the newly named chief of the French General Staff, to Algeria for a personal inspection trip. Officials said his mission would be strictly a military one and not a political visit on behalf of the government.
Meanwhile France lifted censorship today on all news about Algeria for publication abroad. The action came only 36 hours after censorship was instituted.
News for publication within France on Algeria will continue to be censored, however.
Comb Wreckage Of Crash
BRUNSWICK, Md. — (UP) — Investigators today combed wreckage of an airliner and a jet trainer that collided in air and an aroused public asked how such accidents can nappen and what the government will do to prevent more of them.
There were new demands for an end to the "see and be seen" rule that has governed pilots. Critics called for more central and positive federal air traffic control and speedier output of electronic devices to guide civil and military aircraft through the skies.
It happened in the blink of an
eye Tuesday—the collision of a Maryland Air National Guard T-33 jet with a Capital Airlines Viscount in clear weather at about 8,000 feet. The toll was 12 dead; seven passengers who boarded the Baltimore-bound plane at Chicago and Pittsburgh, Pa., the four Viscount crew members and an Army First Class Private, Donald Chalmers, 24, of Baltimore, Md., who was having his first airplane ride in the T-33.
Smooth running is a notable feature of the modern diesel-electric locomotive.

OUR THANKS to each and every one of the KU students and faculty who have made this past nine months so very good for us in the Lawrence Commonwealth Theatres.

Now that most of you are going back home, don't forget the movies. Some of the finest pictures of the year will be shown during June, July and August. To name just a few, try seeing "God's Little Acre," "Another Time, Another Place," "King Creole," "Gigi," "Vertigo," "Rock-A-Bye Baby," "No Time for Sergeants," "A Time to Love and a Time to Die." As I say, just a few—there are lots more, so while you are "home" get more out of life—go out to a movie!
So long for now.

Stamps Hold Surprise
NEW YORK —(UP)— A young nurse who wouldn't accept a patient's tip recovered from the pleasant shock that the "little gift" she took instead may be worth $10,000 before the year is out.
An elderly patient several years ago gave Stephanie Buetens 100 mint-condition sheets of 50 stamps each as a token of his appreciation. Only one million of the three-cent stamps had been issued in 1954 to
mark United Nations Human Rights Day.
A dealer said yesterday the stamps, now the "most rare and most in demand" of all United Nations stamps, are worth today $42,000—and are still going up. He said Miss Beutens' 5,000 stamps, with a face value of $150, may more than double the $42,000 before the end of the year.
