T\ Fuss In Race Spotlight With Week Before Polls By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas gubernatorial candidates, still fuming over a television fuss, struck out on their final week of campaigning Monday. Democrat John Connally charged in Dallas that his opponent, Re- publican Jack Cox, is trying to keep Texas television stations from using a tape recording of an ap- pearance by the candidates before the League of Women Voters in Dallas last week. HE SAID Cox wired television stations concerning the videotape of the league appearances: “Use of pre-recorded materjal in which Wire Review By The Associated Press WORLD NEWS WASHINGTON UP) — The United States announced Monday night the temporary lifting of its naval blockade-of Cuba at the re- quest of the Acting Secretary- General U Thant of the United Nations. U Thant is to meet Tuesday with Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro in Havana in an effort to work out details for U. N. super- vision of the removal of Soviet nuclear missiles from the island. Soviet Premier Khrushchev an- nounced Sunday that he has or- dered such a withdrawal and agreed to U. N. supervision. The White House announced the lifting of the blockade against shipments of offensive weapons effective 6 a.m. EST Tuesday and would last through the two days of U Thant’s visit. CARACAS, Venezuela — The Interior Ministry said Mon- day night the dynamiting of vital nil installations was part of a sabotage campaign ordered from Havana that also was aimed at communications. A time bomb was found 20 min- utes before it would have blown up radio and television installa- tions carrying President Romulo Betancourt’s mobilization mes- sage to the nation Saturday night, said Interior Minister Car- los Andres Perez. He gave no further details. U. S. NEWS UNITED NATION, N. Y. <A>) — Saudi Arabia today demanded .ex- pulsion of South Africa from the United Nations because it has i’e- hsed to end its racial segregation Policy. Ahmad Shukairy, Saudi Arabian Minister of state and delegation ctoef, specifically asked the Unit- ^ States to join in the expulsion action. Speaking in the assembly’s spe- cial political committee, Shukairy said “the case for expulsion is ripe enough and I move this hon- orable committee, with the United States included, to adopt a resolu- tion for the expulsion of South Af- rica from the United Nations.” The United States has denounc- ed apartheid and supported As- sembly resolutions condemning it. But it has been prominent among those countries that have defeat- ed expulsion moves in the past, arguing that keeping Soi\th Africa in the United Nations will pro- vide an opportunity to press South Africa and persuade it to end its government segregation measures. TEXAS NEWS TYLER, Tex. — Bille Sol Estes and his lawyers lost a last ditch battle Monday night to block the seating of a jury for his trial on charges of theft and swindling. District Judge Otis T. Dqna- gan, ruling at a night session, denied all parts of a threefold motion for delay. DALLAS — The nation’s inde- pendent oil operators asked Presi- dent Kennedy Monday to take early and decisive action to strengthen the oil imports control program. The executive committee of the Independent Petroleum Associa- tion of America sent the President a telegram saying such action is essential to assure maximum ca- pabilities by the domestic in- dustry. The telegram signed by 71 in- dependent operators from 26 states said the sabotage which knocked out part of Venezuela’s oil production Sunday marked the third major disruption of free world oil supplies since 1951. we appear would have to appear without my approval.” Meanwhile, Cox told more than 400 San Angelo voters that his election would mean faster indus- trialization of the state, increased tourism and no tax increases. Cox said that if he is elected, he will ask for legislation, that will insure a secret ballot in Texas and which would provide stiff pen- alties for vote fraud. CONNALLY, speaking at a $10- a-plate party luncheon, said that Cox, who has been critical of Con- nally’s ties with Johnson, led a Stephens County delegation in 1960 pledged to support Johnson for president. Connally said GOP charges of Washington ties and the Billie Sol Estes case were “bogus issues.” He said the “phony issues” were “calculated to appeal to people’s prejudices and hatred.” “There’s no question but what I’m friendly with the President and Vice President,” Connally said. “I was friendly with President Ei- senhower. I knew half of his cab- inet. So what.” AFTER his San Angelo talk, Today’s Thought He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare.

Ag Extension State Meeting Held Here “Pursuing Excellence” is the theme for the 1962 state confer- ence of the Texas Agricultural Ex- tension Service. The week-long conference got underway Monday with registration in the Memorial Student Center. The conference brings together the largest single unit of the na- tion’s Agricultural Extension Serv- ices, a part of the Land-Grant Sys- tem. The idea for the Extension Service originated in Texas. From the Porter Farm demonstration in 1903, it has become the unique system of extension, self-help edu- cation. Dr. Seaman A. Knapp ar- ranged for the first demonstration as a means of combating the boll weevil. Its purpose was to show that cotton could be produced prof- itably, under the threat of the boll weevil, if best known scientific in- NSF Grant Given A&M To Sponsor Science Institute A $197,000 National Science Foundation grant has been awarded A&M to sponsor a science institute for junior high school teachers, President Earl Rudder announced today. Purpose of the nine-month insti- tute, scheduled for the 1963-64 aca- demic year, is to provide graduate study in general science subjects for teachers in Texas and other states. Goal of such NSF-backed insti- tutes is to upgrade and enrich sci- ence education in the secondary schools of the nation. Dr. James G. Potter, head of the Department of Physics, is director of the institute. He will be as- sisted by Coleman Loyd, who is NSF programs coordinator here. Potter said 30 male science teachers will receive appointments to the 1963-64 science institute opening next Aug. 26.

Applications are invited from male teachers, under 40 years of age, with three years of junior | high school teaching experience. They should have posted a “B” average in their undergraduate college work and not have com- pleted work toward a masters de- gree. The application deadline is mid- January, Loyd said. “We are looking for teachers who want to improve their science teaching capability and need an opportunity to do advanced study,” Loyd said. Applicants should be able to get a year’s leave of absence from their respective school systems to attend the institute. Other pre- requisites include a year of college- level chemistry, physics and one semester each of college algebra and trigonometry completed by September, 1963. formation was used. Beginning with this single farm, extension education spread to the home, the family and community and today is known throughout the Free World. The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 provided the authority to make it.the third great arm of the Land-Grant system. The others are resident teaching and research. Director John E. Hutchison, in commenting on the conference theme, said, “In this day of change, we will study the latest on science and technology as it affects our responsibilities to the people of Texas.” The formal program began Tues- day morning. Dean R. E. Patter- son, School of Agriculture, wel- comed the participants and pres- ent system and college adminis- trative staff members. Hutchison also outlined the objectives of the conference.

Three Groups Give Quota For Chest This year’s Campus Chest drive, A&M’s student emer- gency assistance fund, started Monday with 100 per cent contributions from three campus groups. The Civilian Student Council contributed $1.50 per man. The First Brigade and the First Battle Group staffs each gave $1 per man, according to Ken Stanton, chairman of the Student Senate welfare committee. Seventy per cent of the funds collected will be retained for Aggies’ use. The remaining 30 per cent will be divided among the Brazos County Tuberculosis Association, the March of Dimes and the College Station Community Chest. Purpose of the Campus Chest is to assist Aggies who ♦suffer a tragedy such as an Six Architects Given Awards In Houston Two scholarships and four a- wards were granted to six A&M architect students Thursday at the 23rd annual convention of the Tex- as Society of Architects in Hous- ton. Recipient of one of three Jesse H. Jones scholarships, a grant of $1,- 000, was Thomas A. Hooker, fifth year student from Port Arthur. Other scholarships went to Rice and Texas Tech. Edward V. Kemp received a Monarch Tile grant. The scholar- ship is given to fifth year students of architecture “whose intention is to make the profession of archi- tecture his life’s endeavor.” Through the Featherlite Corpor- ation a total fund of $2,500 is a- vailable to award grants to the five schools of architecture for competition held within the school among fourth year students. Win- ners from A&M were Patrick T. James, Forest R. Narmour and Joe L. Tomlinson. Donald L. McMasters of Bryan was granted the Texas Conci’ete Masonry Association award. The award honors one student from each school who, in the judgement of his faculty, has submitted an outstanding problem in the course of his fourth year design work accident or loss of property. Each case is reviewed to veri- fy that assistance from the Chest is needed. Many stu- dents have received help from the Chest in past years. A bronze plaque will be awarded to the corps unit or civilian dormi- tory which collects the most per man. A certificate will be awarded to each group which avei’ages $1 per member. “A DOLLAR from an Aggie for an Aggie,” is the theme, and $8,000 is the goal for the five-day-long drive. “A chart showing contribution results of the civilian dorms and corps units is located at the en- trance of the Memorial Student Center near the post office,” Stan- ton said. Dormitory presidents and unit commanders are asked to collect the Campus Chest donations from their respective groups. Group donations should be car- ried to the Student Finance Center in the MSC between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. each day this week. Deposits should be placed in the Campus Chest account, account number 160. Stanton asks deposi- tors to write the number of men in their group on the deposit slip. “We of the Student Senate sincerely hope that you will make this year a successful one for the Aggie Campus Chest drive ha said. The first dollar of the campaign was donated last Thursday by James P. Hannigan, dean of stu- dents. Peace Corpsman To Lecture Here A Peace Corps representative to colleges and universities, Paul A. Daly of Washington, will make a series of talks Nov. 1-6 on the campus. Daly, an animal husbandry grad- uate of the University of Florida, is currently on loan to the Peace Corps from the Agency for Inter- national Development and is serv- ing as special assistant in the Agricultural Division, Office of Public Affairs. WHILE ON CAMPUS he will discuss purposes, needs and oppor- tunities of the Corps, according to Dr: Dan Russell professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Sociology and Peace Corps Liaison officer for the col- lege. PAUL A. DALY Daly has a personal knowledge of many of the areas where volun- teers serve with the Peace Corps. His work with A. I. D. as a live- stock advisor took him to India, Burma, Laos, Thailand and China. His last position was as livestock advisor to the Royal Lao govern- ment veterinary service, where he coordinated his work with that of the International Voluntary Seiw- ice, an organization which places agricultural experts in underdevel- oped countries under conditions similar to that of the Peace Corps. A native of Florida, Daly served four years in the United States Navy, with the bulk of his time spent on the mainland of China. After receiving his discharge he worked as a cowboy, herdsman and rancher in the United States. DALY WILL talk to county agri- cultural agents and home demon- stration agents' Thursday during their annual' conference in the Memorial Student Center. That night at 7:30 he will also speak to the Student Senate in the MSC. He will speak to Alpha Zeta, an honorary agricultural student so- ciety at 7:30 p. m. Nov. 5 in the Dairy Science Building. Daly will be available for person- al interviews during his stay on campus “except during the A&M- Arkansas football game Saturday night,” according to Russell at the Department of Agricultural Economics. “Although his area of specializa- tion is agriculture, Mr. Daly will talk with any student who is in- terested in the Peace Corps,” Rus- sell said.
