Tenn -flTIi- Th. divinity school at Vanderbilt University was enmeshed in growing storm of protest today over the university's refusal to re-admit i Negro itdown leader. The dean, Dr. J. Robert Nelson, and nine other facul ty members, resigned in nger Monday night. At least 14 of the school's 120 minis terial students have threat ened to quit and three former tudents who were graduated only two days ago said they would return their degrees. Mo Resolutions Produced The nine faculty members met shortly after Nelson an nounced his resignation and In a letter to Vanderbilt Chancellor Harvie Branscomb aid: "In as much as three months of steady negotiations with the university adminis tration have failed to produce any resolutions of the issues involved in the dismissal (of Lawson) we have reluctantly decided that we must resign." The letter, expected to be presented formally to Brans comb today, was signed by James E. Sellers, Ronald E. Sleeth, James Glass, Ladgon Bilkey, Lou H. Silberman, Gordon Kaufman, Arthur Forrester, Bard Thompson and Leander Keck. Branscomb told United Press International Monday night, "in a matter of this im portance, involving so many numbers of the divinity school faculty, I do not think that I should act on these resigna tions but should refer them to the trustees of the university who will undoubtedly wish to examine the issues involved." In Counter Sitdown The protest is in support of former, ministerial student James M. Lawson Jr., who was suspended from the di vinity school for taking part in demonstrations aimed at desegregating lunch counters, Boy Scouts Den 1. Pack 41 Eagle Point -Den 1, Pack 48 in Eagle Point were guests of Frank Hopewell last week as he took them on a tour of the Bunnycrest Dairy. Hopewell explained how to tell the difference between Jersey. Guernsey, and Hoi- stein cows before taking the boys in his milking barn where they observed the cows entering into their individual milking stalls. John Pogue showed the boys how the cows were first washed care fully before the milking ma chines were attached and the boys then followed the route the milk takes from the time H enters the milk machine through the pipe lines to the large cooling tank, pasteuriz er and into the bottles. Hopewell highlighted the tour of the dairy by letting the boys feed one of the 3 week-old calves from a bottle. Sixteen Cub Scouts, and their Den Mother Mrs. Elbert H e f 1 e y and mothers, Mrs. White and Mrs. Harbison were interested in seeing how the milk they drink at their banquets is processed and handled.

Sophia Loren's Jewel Thelt Said Job by Amateurs London -ffiPD- Speculation that the theft of half a million dollars worth of jewelry from Sophia Loren was an amateur job gave an added twist today to a Europe-wide hunt for the gems. The amateur theory arose as a result of the finding of the stolen jewel case floating in the Thames river Monday morning. Detectives said a professional was unlikely to toss away the case in a way to make its quick recovery possible. Fingerprints Found The case was undergoing in tensive laboratory tests at Scotland Yard and one pub lished report said a number of fingerprints other than those of Miss Loren had been found on it. Officials withheld comment on the report. The grief-stricken actress herself suggested the thief must have been someone who had been spying on her for some time before the actual theft last Saturday night trom her rented home at Elstree outside London. miss LMren, wno offered a reward of nearly $60,000 for return of the jewels, dis closed that her hoard was largely uninsured. A diamond necklace worth about 153,000 was insured but nothing else, sne said. Arson Verified In Woodburn Fire Woodburn -(UPD - Fire Chief Floyd Maricle said today that his suspicions about possible, arson in the Saturday night fire which wiped out half of the Washington grade, school gym here have been verified. He said a preliminary in vestigation by Lt. Howard B e n n i n g h off, Milwaukie, member of the state arson squad, showed that an arson ist was involved. An arson detail launched a full investigation here today. The fire, only a day after school let out for the summer, destroyed half of the gym and also damaged two classrooms in the same building. Firemen prevented the flames from spreading to the nearby main school building. U.A.R.

Steel Magazine offered the rather dismal prediction last week but pointed out that after the July 4th holiday week-normally a slow period the steel industry will see some upturn in shipments and orders. The national weekly listed the following three reasons why an upturn is forthcom ing: -Excess inventories in some customers' plants will be de pleted. -Some vacation periods will be over and plants that put off ordering will be back in business, and -Automakers will start or dering. The metalworking weekly said that production in May will average 71.5 per cent of capacity, compared with 80 per cent in April. Outpu! is expected to hit about 9 'nil lion ingot tons, bringing total output for the first five months to S3.S million tons. Production continued to de cline, showing a 4.4 cutback last week. This was the sec ond sharpest reduction of the year. The Easter week show ed a cutback of 6.7 points. Biggaii Production Dip Output last week reached about 1.9 million ingot tons, equal to 66.9 per cent of capacity. Nine of the 11 districts re ported declines with Cincin nati showing the biggest dip as production reached 54 per cent of capacity, a drop of 28 points. The only districts showing a gain were Cleveland and Buffalo which increased to 76 per cent on gains of one and two points, respectively. Scrap is holding steady with the composite price on the prime heavy melting grade remaining at $33.33 a cross ton for the fourth week.

Volcanoes and earthquakes in Chile - where NEW mountains and NEW volcanoes have sprung up, mw islands have appear ed off the coast and NEW lakes have been formed in the nightmare week which REMADE much of Chile's top ographical map . . . Tidal waves all over the Pacific, so named by Magellan be cause it was so PEACEFUL. IVYA reckon Mother Nature " could be piqued by these nuclear monstrosities made in recent decades by man and designed to kill off his ene mies and is out to show us what she could do if she really wanted to put on a horror show? Grim thought: Suppose Mother Nature put on a REAL demonstration of her power and blew out the sun - which is only an immense ball of flaming gas about a million times the size of the earth! rpHAT'S about enough of A that. Let's look at the doughnut instead of the hole. Within a matter of hours after the full extent of the Chilean disaster became known, a 34-plane U.S. air fleet carrying come 500 men, emergency food supplies and 400 tons of medicines and hospital equipment was on its way to the striken area. Scores of slower craft follow ed with more food, clothing, blankets, medicines and medi cal personnel. In disaster - striken Chile, we're giving the dead decent burial. We're hospitalizing the injured, we're feeding the hungry, we're clothing the naked, we're sheltering the homeless. THAT'S THE KIND OF FOREIGN AID THAT PAYS OFF. T ET'S change the subject. For years we've been hear ing about an impending popu lation EXPLOSION that will fill our country so full of people that there won't be any room left to stand on -not to mention room to go hunting or fishing or picnic ing. It's a rushed picture the statisticians have ben paint ing for us. So rugged that at times the thought has occurred that if we have to gel blown to smithereens by an atom bomb it may be just as well. What's the use of living in a world where there isn't room to turn around in? T ISTEN, comrades. " There's a ray of hope. These direful predictions have been based on estimates - which is a polite word for guesses. So have the PRE DICTED 1960 population to tals of a lot of towns in Ore gon and elsewhere. In a lot of places, the nose counts aren't living up to the guess es. As a result, wails of woe are going up in every direc tion. HERE'S what is happening. People are ganging up in the towns. As the city limits fill up, people spill over into the suburbs. The census count is for the city limits only. With few exceptions, the cor porate limits population to tals aren't showing much gain. And . . . out in the wide-open spaces . . . the census totals are showing relatively little gain. CO- You see In the country as a whole maybe there WILL be room enough left to stand on.

As none of his pollsters have been to see mp I rin not Walter . , LLP..!!. have to an swer the question. But I do have to write this article be fore the Memorial Day week end begins, and so I am ven turing to ruminate on what is the job of dealing with the Russians. Once his availability for President in American politi cal terms has been established, among the first questions I would ask a candidate is whe ther he had ever played the game of chess. For chess is, as we know, the national game of Russia. It is the kind of game which in its basic intel lectual requirements is re markably like high strategic and political action. In chess the forces are at the begin ning exactly equal and the problem is to move the piec es, anticipating and frustrat ting the moves of your oppon ent, so that you deploy super ior force at the point of de cision. No one can play chess without strong pieces, any more than a statesman can succeed without strong forces. But the game is to outwit your Bus Hits Rear Of Truck; Four Women Killed Evanston, Wyo. (UPD A westbound Greyhound bus rammed into the rear of parked semitrailer truck 28 miles east of here Sunday night, killing four women and critically injuring three other bus passengers and the dri ver. The truck had stopped on the highway where the driver was assisting a motorist. The Wyoming Highway Patrol said the accident took place on a section of U.S. 80, a four-lane, divided highway. Injured Identified Names of the dead were withheld pending final Identi fication and notification of relatives. Patrol Sgt. L. E. Wold said the critically injured were the bus driver, Henry W. Everts, about 40, Bountiful, IMnh; Betty Valasquez, about 23, Salt Lake City; Mrs. Harriett Wheeler, about 32, Evanston, and Betty Murdock, 11, Wal- den, Colo. All the Injured buss pass engers received multiple frac tures and other injuries when the impact tore loose seats and slammed passengers into the seats in front of them. Everts received a broken pelvis when he was pinned between the scat and the steering wheel.

They said there were only 10 working days left in which an agreement could be reached if Cyprus is to be come independent this summer. n lippmann opponent by the way you move the pieces. You cannot win a chess game by telling your oppinent or the spectators that your own white pieces are obvious ly purer and nobler than his sinister black pieces. Nor can you win a chess game by be ing stubborn, which some con fuse with being touch. When you are playing chess, you can feint and you can conceal your plan. But you cannot, as in the national game of po ker, sweep the board by a big bluff. Nor is chess like our other national game, golf, where your opponent never interferes with your shot, where it would be discourt eous of him to interfere with your shot and where what you are trying for is a bloodless and mindless abstraction, something better or not much worse than par for the course. THERE are among us some who think that dealing wilh the Russians is not like chess, which is a matching of forces and of wits, but rather like prizefighting, wrestling, or football. The best job, they feel, will be done by the man who has shown that he can talk back and that, to come back to chess, he will never move his pieces in any direc tion except forward. They misjudge the game that is be ing played. They misjudge the dren's ,,t AllWUlJ , fc'ftl. VlJIjaiilWIIIIIMiMIIIMIMl I I ' ""' . lav 4;. -a !t if CF I'M f (, I i4n--I J sV i j ' - . ' f .

The struggle requires skill, shrewdness, sagacity, and imagination in seeing things as they are, and what can be made of them. The struggle cannot be won by absent and sbsentminded men. It can be won only by men whose attention in all their waking hours is concen trated on the situation - as was Churchill's and Roose velt's in conducting the war. FOR myself, I do not visual- ize the job of dealing with Russians as the job of meet ing Mr. K. at Camp David or in Paris or in Moscow, and of engaging Mr. K. in a debate. We shall not be looking for a candidate to go to the sum mit. For the job of dealing with the Russians does not mean going to the summit. It means primarily, if I may put it that way, to stay in Washington, to stay in the White House in close and continual contact with the men who are responsible for the national defense, who are responsible for the mainte nance and improvement of all the elements of American national power and for our foreign relations.
