By Eddy Gilmore

LONDON (AP) A dark-haired
young man played a breathless
game Of hide and Keek with police
Sunday on the spidery scaffolding
of Big Ben Tower 320 feet above
Parliament Square.
Several thousands looked on In
fascination and horror at the
spectacle that took place above
the nhlnlng face and long black
handa of the clock whose chimes
are known around the world.
The unrehearsed melodrama be
gan shortly before noon when a
policeman In the cobblestone yard
of Westminster Palace saw the
man start his long climb up the
scaffolding.
Tower Being Kepaired
The tower, which stood up to
derman bombing during the war.
Is being repaired and cleaned and
workmen have sheathed it with
steel scaffolding from ground to
spire.
The lone policeman shouted to
the climber. Witnesses said he
halted for a moment, looked down
at the cop, and then went on.
Constables and firemen roped
several short laflders together
and went after him. Other pur
suers swarmed onto the scaffold
ing. and one of them grabbed the
rnan around the ankle.
lilkf'lt to Hospital
He kicked once and then gave
lip. Police took him to a hoapital
for observation und refused to
give hia name.
One of the policemen said later
that when the man reached the
top he mild he would come down
only when the minister of holla
ing agreed to meet him "over my
, hojalng problem."
Nasser Repeats
West Accusation
CAIRO, Kgypt tjft Premier
Oiunal Abdel N h.k.ho]' declared
Sunday he has a document prov
ing the British War Office be
lieves Kgypt has no aggressive
Intentions, but doubts Israel has
similar peaceful aims.
Nasser made the statement In
a speech to military academy
graduates in which he again ac
cused the west of arming Israel
while denying arms to Kgypt.
"I am ready to show this docu
ment to the British ambassador,"
Nasser told the crowd.
There was no immediate com
ment from the British War Of
fice in London.
The Egyptian leader, who has
closed a deal to swap cotton and
rice for Czechoslovak arms, ac
cused the Western powers of
purposely leaving Egyptian and
other Arab armies weak while
arming Israel.
Nasser ridiculed the Western
Big Three promise to maintain
the Middle East balance of pow
er.
"Western sources repeatedly
have said Israel could put a quar
ter of a million men under arms
- which they admit is more than
all the Arab armies combined,”
he said. “Is this what they mean
by balance of power?"
Support for the Egyptian po
sition on the arms issue came
Sunday in interviews given by
government leaders of Jordan
and Syria, two other nations of
the eight-nation Arab League.
In Amman, Jordan, acting
Premier Hazzaa Majali said the
Bgyptian-Czech deal was purely
commercial and "I cannot see
the reason for all this fuss.”

KKAD K.MKRVIJ) WANT ADS
To Be Boss, Get
Broad Education
By Elton Engstrom
Emartld St»ff Writer
"Why can't Johnny lead?" is
a frequent question asked about
the public school children. In
college the question becomes
"Why can’t Joe College get the
high-paid job he wants when he
graduates ?”
American magazine’s Septem
ber issue gave one answer in an
article entitled "Why business
men are going hack to school.”
The article asks “Would yoti
like to be the boss?" The answer
advises reading classics, visiting
museums and learning to appre
ciate music and ballet. Topflight
men require broad, liberal frluca
tion more than specialized knowd
edge, it says.
School Set I'p by Bell
A school for such a purpose is
the Institute of Humanistic
Studies for Executives at the
University of Pennsylvania.
It offers a 10-month course for
Bell telephone junior executives.
The total cost of the course is
paid by the telephone company.
Students draw salaries during
the training period.
"Why is such a school neces
sary?" the article asks. Top
management is worried about
"the over-specialization of young
er executives as craftsmen or en
gineers. advancing through the
narrow channels of technical su
periority, who seem singlemind
ed, unimaginative and overeager
to conform,” the author believes.
“Bounded” Men Needed
Industry needs more “well
rounded, broad-gauge individ
uals.”
How are they doing it at Bell’s
Institute on the University of
Pennsylvania campus?
The study program consists
largely of "reading great books
day anf^ night as preliminary to
class discussion."
The nine major fields of cul
tural broadening used at the
school are world literature.

Trends Have Changed
The author, a college graduate,
says that when he was grad
uated from college with a back
ground of general education in
the early 30's the only work he
found was "pick and shovel la
bor.”
"Liberal arts majors were a
drug on the market. Big corpora
tions were seeking those grad
uates specialized in technical
training, engineers, chemists, ac
countants.”
Recently, the author discov
ered, industry has reversed its
stand. "Industry is complaining
that colleges are producing spec
ialized cavemen and barbarians.
Industralists bemoan the narrow
ness of the engineering and the
accounting mind,”
