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.

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.

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. Arrange
ments will then be made to have
a medical technician at Student
Health extract the blood.

Regents Submit Fund Request To Governor
The University' 1955-1957 operations, budget for $23,624,581.52, excluding tha
revolving funds, was submitted to the governor by the Board of Regents Thursday.
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. Salary and wage in
creases expected to average 4.5
per cent and be given on a merit
basis total $1,208,765.
The budget request indicates that
the University anticipates a fixed
income during the next two years
of $4,794,282.26. Student fees are
expected to remain the same,
bringing an estimated income of
$2,650,000. Other income includes
$1,703,862 in federal funds; $100,000
in endowment funds; $40,420 in vo
cational education funds and $300,
000 in county levy funds for the
support of the University Hospital.
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.
To imDrove the facilities and
services of the University Hospital
in Omaha, an additional $471,940
has been requested.
The increase of $284,900 for the
College of Agriculture will be div
ided into three main programs; re
instatement of a shortcourse pro
gram to train young men unable
to attend college, operation of a
new . branch experiment station in
northeastern Nebraska and the es
tablishment of. a soil and water
conservation program co-ordinat-or.
