The Outside World By FED DALY Staff Writer Western Alliance Formed Seven European nations have agreed to join a "Western European Union" for common defense with the United States and Canada standing by as partners and guarantors. The union results from the rewriting of the 1948 Treaty of Brussels to include West Germany and Italy with the original five member nations Britain, France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. The agreement will give Germany back her freedom, authorize a 600,000 man Germany army, bring West Germany into the Brussels alliance and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and end the Franco-German dispute over the Saar. ( , Amateur Does Well Joe Deri Gore, 19-year-old robbery suspect, Thursday signed a 19-page statement admitting the $58,142 Scottsbluff First State Bank robbery. As part of his confession Gore donned the complete outfit he said he wore during the holdup, including a black "musical comedy" mustache made from a burnt piece of paper. Gore said he had been in Scottsbluff since October 6. Although he cased the job for eight days, he said: "I'm just an amateur, not a professional." Ike Boosts Ives President Eisenhower gave the most outright endorsement he has given any individual in the current political campaign when he told New York state Republican workers that it was "tremendously import ant" that Sen. Irving M. Ives be elected governor to carry on the GOP program. Eisenhower made his statement before making a whirlwind tour of New York City in a vast motorcade. The tour of the city, which began immediately after the brief talk to campaign workers, came as a surprise. The President said he was going to vote a "straight Republican ticket" in the coming election and added that he was going to do so "enthusiastically." ' , Reds Break Barrier Russia and her European satellites have opened a big gap in Western barriers against war potential exports to Communist China by buying strategic goods from the West and selling them to the Chinese at a neat profit. Because the list of embargoed goods for Eastern Europe is much smaller than that for Red China, Russia can buy Western goods the Chinese cannot. Western officials sayEuropean Communist nations are buying these items fo.r transshipment at top prices to' the Chinese Reds. ' Goods are shipped by rail via the Trans-Siberian Railway or are carried into Chinese ports by Red ships able to evade the Chinese Nationalist naval blockade. "the T Convocation. of the United Nation's Fourth Gen eral assembly, will be Introduced by Billie Croft of Fremont, student representative on the University Convocations Committee, sponsor of the event. Pulitzer Prize Winner Romulo has traveled widely In Asia and in 1941 won a Pulitzer Prize for his news stories on Japa nese aims in the Orient. He has served almost continuously In the United Nations as a representa tive of the Philippines except from 1950-52, when he was secretary of foreign affairs and 1952, when he was ambassador to the United States. Romulo was present in San Fran cisco in 1945 when the nations met to draw up a charter for the United Nations organization. He was elect ed president of the Fourth Gen eral Assembly in 1949. A man of many talents, Romulo has had a varied vareer. He has been a publisher, editor, Univer sity professor, author, playwright and United States Army officer. McArthur'a Assistant During World War II, he served as General Douglas MacArthur's aide-de-camp on Battant Corregi dor and Australia." Romulo 'was the last man to leave Battan and accompanied General MacArthur and the liberating forces in the in vasion of Leyte, and later in the recapture of Manila. Romulo is himself the best illus tration of his thesis that the Fili pino is the composite of the Orient, the product of three influences: the basic Malayan, Spanish and American.

NU Institute Seeks Campus Blood Donors The University's Institute for Cellular Research has reported a need for blood donations to carry on research in human cancer cells. This research, under the direction of Dr. Donald M. Pace, has been recently undertaken by the Institute. The cancer cells are being cul tured and their rate of growth studied by the Institute. This strain, usually called the HeLa strain, is the same used for test ing polio anti-bodies. The Institute needs human blood serum to sustain the cells. If the environment is suitable, the cells can be cultured and maintained for an indefinite period of time. Those interested in donating are asked to phone the department of physiology, Ex 3?,12.

The total budget requested, including state taxes, federal funds, endowments and estimated fees is 13 per cent more than the University had for its total operation last year and this year. . Two years ago, the University budget requested 16,356,003 in state tax funds and the 1953 Leg"! Mature appropriated $15,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1955. The 1955 Legislature b asked to appropria te $18,830,299.26 in state tax funds, $3,830, 299.26 more than the last appropriation. ine requested sa.a minion in crease is principally allocated for maintenance of the University's en larged physical plant, the Univer sity's contribution as an employer to the Social Security program which under the newly amended Federal Act allows coverage of University employees, salary and wage increases and the expanded development program. The added maintenance and sup ply cost, . the result of new con struction on the campus, is $504, 856. A total of $400,000 is request ed for the Social Security program and $1,353,190 for the development program.

The reason for the salary and wage increase item, according to Chancellor Hardin, is that the Uni versity's number one problem is "to keep people on the staff that can do us the most good ... In the next few years, enrollments will rise, and competition for high calibre faculty members will get keener." "We are looking ahead in the total program, attempting to keep key people here for the future," Hardin explained. " Three main items are included in the development phase of the budget, which carries more than a $1 million increase. They are di rected toward strenghtening the Humanities, Ag and Medical Col lege programs.
