Willamette University. Salem, to explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice. The reader Is cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. Martin, a university stu dent, wrote two letters to the university president bitterly complaining that the school exercised too much control over student organizations. Because of his criticism, the student was suspended, but was readmitted the next fall on condition that ne not join any student club or activity. The following year these con ditions were again imposed. It was too much for Martin io Suffer in silence, so he attack ed the continued restriction In the college newspaper. This resulted in his again be ing suspended for the rest of the term. Martin responded by distributing leaflets that were extremely critical of the university; by breaking the university Imposed restric tions and attending a student council meeting; and by writ ing letters to the school ad ministration in which he ac cused the authorities of "ma licious lies" and "vile inde cencies." Rights Claimed Denied Finally the university could stand no more of Martin, and permanently expelled him. Martin then brought suit in the federal district court un der a statute giving the fed- Aral court the right to try civil rights violations, claim ing that . his constitutional rights, including freedom of speech, had been denied and demanding that he either be reinstated or given a trial with the opportunity to cross examine university officials. The district court dismissed Martin's complaint,, and the federal court of appeals af firmed the dismissal by a 2-1 vote. Judge Morgan voted against Martin because he thought he thould seek relief in the state courts before he had any right to sue In a federal court. In any event, he felt that the Constitution did not forbid dlscrimin atlon by state schools except on grounds of race, color or creed. Judge Burke voted against Martin because he believed that a student's freedom of speech is not violated by his expulsion from a state school because of his criticism of university officials. Strong Spirit Only Vice Judge Norton voted for Martin, stating that Martin had been unconstitutionally discriminated against and that his only vice had been his strong spirit of indepen dence. Judge Norton declared that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution did not just protect Negroes and unpopu lar religious groups from dis crimination; It is meant to protect everyone, even an ir ritatingly independent stu As this dispute certainly demonstrates, it is not clear just what rights a student has in dealing with university officials. There are many authorities, how ever, who would -disagree - with the court's decision against Mar tin. Perhaps his defeat may be partly explained by the fact that, although not a law yer, he acted as his Own at torney.

General Assembly session and sum mit diplomacy. The author is pro fessor and head of the Depart ment of Government and PollUcs at the University of Maryland. By Prof, ELMER PLISCKKE Written for UPI College Park, Md. - IUPD It would be iltusary to pre sume that Premier Nlkita S. Khrushchev's coming to the United States as head of the Soviet delegation to the 15th session of the United Nations General Assembly is dedicated to achieve any significant and immediate resolution of East- West diplomatic Issues. It is equally erroneous to assume that, because of the abortive Paris conference last May, diplomacy at the Sum mit is dead, or even dormant. While a formal East-West great power summit confer ence is unlikely to be con vened in the near future, the personal diplomacy of our President and other heads of government nevertheless con tinues apace. The very fact that the lead ers of an unusual number of countries are engaging in the deliberations of the United Nations evidences their ex pectation of achieving some national or personal diplo matic advantage. Doubtless, they intend to use the United Nations as the diplomatic forum for the enunciation or the recapitulation of policy, for informal contact and con sultation, or simply for pro paganda purposes. To the ex tent to which top-echelon of ficials are invovled, this con- Eddie Cantor Still Hospital Patient Hollywood - IUPD - Eddie Cantor, 68, remained in Ce dars of Lebanon hospital to day where he was taken Aug. 22 following a heart attack. A hospital spokesman said Cantor was in fair condition, but indicated the singer's re lease would not come for some time. "Doctors feel it is better to keep him here where he will remain quietly," said the spokesman. Cantor suffered a serious heart attack in 1953 and since has suffered from a chronic heart ailment. stitutes diplomacy at the sum mit. The advantage of this tech nique is mat it tocuses at tention upon these leaders and enatles them to speak to for eign governments and peoples respecting external policies and international problems, without necessarily requiring them to serve as practical ne gotiators, as would be ex pected at the formal inter national conference. Its disadvantages are that summit pronouncements and maneuvering in the United Nations forum can scarcely resolve any of the major world problems, they over shadow the practical and working level of diplomacy where, in quiet, progress is most often achieved, and they induce a focus of attention so widespread and intense that far too much tends to be expected as the outcome. Propaganda Battle) At worst, this technique may produce little more than a propaganda battle at the pinnacle. At best, it might evoke con structive proposals for deal ing with critical problems, paving the way for negotia tion at the diplomatic levels in the United Nations and else where. In any case, the foregather ing of heads of government in New York, is likely to in volve a good many private consultations - to 'build and strengthen alliances, to wean the reluctant and uncommit ted, or simply to mold the images of the leaders or aug ment good will. Further evidencing the vir ility of summitry-despite the questionable success of the formal meeting of adversaries around the conference table in recent years - Premier Khrushchev has made the spectacular proposal that the arms limitation issue b e brought before the United Na tions General Assembly, with some eighty heads of govern ment participating. The as sumption that such a "world summit conference," deliber ating in the glare of global publicity, can really evoke a solution for this complex problem appears to be un realistic if not fantastic. Would Undermine Value It is not Inconceivable that such a grandiose conclave would harm not only the chances of progress toward arms reduction, but also the cause of the United Nations as a diplomatic institution. In addition, It also would under mine whatever value might remain in the formal confer ence at the summit. It appears as though sum mitry is being regarded too much either as a panacea for the world's ills, or as a means of contesting the strength and popularity of the images of world leaders. Rather, it should be resorted to only when other diplomatic tech niques fall to sustain the peace or to enhance accom modation and the resolution of critical problems. It goes without saying that the era of summit diplomacy is under way. Contemporary technological facilities render it possible if not convenient for the leaders of the world personally to engage In for eign affairs whenever they deem It to be appropriate. Its advantages, augmented b y the ease with which it may be employed, often are viewed as outweighing Its limitations. Nevertheless, inasmuch as It is no more than one of the many techniques for conduct ing foreign relations, caution needs to be exercised that it does not come to be regard ed as a fetish-or an end in Itself. Disappointment with Its results is likely to be es pecially great when summitry as a means overshadows the policy objectives intended to be achieved by diplomacy. It may very well be thsrt New York will need to be 4 ded to Paris and Geneva!

The engineer, George Hawi, 39, hopes eventually to export his "Ramses" throughout the Afro-Asian -world. Hawi heads the Egyptian automotive company, makers Of the Ramses auto. Named after the chariot - mounted Egyptian king, the small auto features a pharaonic-inspired design. . Hawi said the wide base of the Ramses, its tapering body and the straight, parallel lines of the front grille were in spired by the massive,- angu lar architecture of the phar aohs. The rear engine is Imported from the NSU firm in West Germany. It is air-cooled: no radiator to explode In desert heat. The two cylinder, four- stroke engine has been es pecially adapted for greater resistance to the high temper ature in Middle East coun tries". . The Ramses will get 55 mires per gallon. It has four gears, and rear transmission, all synchronized. Five vehicels a day are com ing off the assembly line, 12 miles west of Cairo on a des ert site dominated by the Gtza pyramids. Hawi plans to double pro duction by next January and to be turning out 7,000 cars a year by 1963. Sales have been no prob lem, Ramses showrooms are still drawing crowds more than a month after the first modela went on display, Orders are back logged for six months. The Ramses comes In three models: jeep-type utility, two door sedan and roadster. With no customs duty to be paid, they are the lowest - priced cars in Egypt. The two-door four seater is priced at 800 Egyptian pounds ($1,689), the jeep-like utility model Is about 100 pounds ($280) cheaper, while the custom-made sports car Is 100 pounds more expensive than the sedan. The Ramses got rolling with the help of loans from bank ers Impressed by the long ex perience of "Hawi and his partner, Essam El Din Aboul Ella. The bankers got further encouragement from the UAR government, which is dedi cated to building up new in dustry in traditionally agri cultural Egypt. . Instead of building an ex travagant car which would have meant drastically taxing Egyptian capabilities, Hawl's firm undertook Its Job "with in the local industrial and technical potentialities." EAC experimented for six years with various protoypes. The first Ramses passed the Egyptian traffic board's safe ty tests In December 1958. "About 55 per cent of the production value of the car originates here In Egypt. We consider this a high percent age for a start," Hawi said. The Ramses factory, situ ated alongside the desert high way to Alexandria, is not large by International stand' ards. But EAC expects to expand.
