"If You Didn't See It In The Sun It Didn't Happen' Member of fhc Associated Press VOL. 55 BfcATKK fc, NEBRASKA, EVENING, NOVEMBER 29,1956 Pef Copy NO, Invites PTA suggestions on side walks Heikes asks study of sidewalk needs, leading to schools Tlalph Heikes. City Council president, suggested last night Hint. PTAs survey sidewalk needs in their districts, as they relate to school children, and come Up with specific recommendations to City Council.

He spoke as member of a panel at the first PTA meeting in the Lincoln School. About 300 parents met in the school multi-purpose room. Heikes noted that "I can speak only for myself, and not for the Council." City ordinances give the Council power to require sidewalk construction for public safety. There a IT lots of properties in town without sidewalks, however. Heikes noted, and to require all of them to put in sidewalks would be an "enormous project bigger than all of the curb-gutter-gravcl projects." He guessed thai the Council would not go along with such an nil-embracing program.

Give friendly hearing "But I think we must have sidewalks in areas approaching the schools." If a plan were worked out, Heikes said he is sure the Council would give it a friendly hearing. "Together, I believe we could work something 1 he said. Mrs. Everett Jones was moderator of the panel, which included also Lincoln Principal Millard Grell, Superintendent William Staerkel. and Assistant Police Chief Clarence Nieman.

Some other questions answered by the panel: Bicycle safety. big difficulty is that children do not know the bicycle safety rules. Grell The school discourages riding bikes to school until the end of the first grade. (There is no legal age limit.) School patrol. Staerkcl Many school administrators frown on them, because of the immaturity of grade school children, and the danger to which pupil patrolmen ars exposed.

19th Street paving from Court to It has been delayed because it is a ledcral- nid project, and many details have to be worked out with the federal government. He guessed that the paving would go in as soon as the frost is out of the ground next spring. Lunch problems Taking lunch to school. Grell 75 to 9-1 youngsters bring their lunches to school, creating a supervision problem. Staerkel is primarily for children living a distance from school, and while there is no limitation at present, there may be in the future.

Possibility of hot lunches will be studied sometime in the future. Entrances to building Grcll The rule that certain grades use certain entrances is waived in bad weather. School zone and stop signs. Heikes and Slaerkel On 19th and Lincoln there lias to be state approval on any such signs. A state man is to survey the situation soon.

Transfers. Staerkel If there is good reason, a child in a "fringe area" can be transferred to another school if it is closer, and the class to which he would be transferred is smaller than the one he would be leaving. Vacation-time use of school jilay- grounds. Grell Permitted, but the schools provide no supervision, and th'e school insurance would not cover any accidents. Also discussed, with less definite conclusion, were school bus service and dogs.

President Mrs. Lou Grosshans was authorized to appoint committees to recommend purchases by the PTA fol- the school building, and to study stop sign and temporary sidewalk needs. Musical entertainment was by the Senior High girls' triple trio. Farmers to discuss watershed possibility Farmers of land which i.s drained by Bear, Pierce and Cedar, creeks will meet Dec. 5 at 7:30 in the Parish Hall of Zion Lutheran Church.

Dick Holmbeck of Barneston, one of Nebraska's two NFO national directors, said the goal in the 15-county area, known as the NFO First Congressional District, is a total membership of 16,000 persons, compared to a present total of some 9,000. The statewide goal, Holmbeck said, is 11,000 new members, which would lift the statewide total to more than 30,000. County, directors from the 15 counties met with Holmbeck here Wednesday to discuss plans for the membership drive.

arguments here. Everyone is aware that Britain's industrial machine and standard of living depend on oil from the Middle East. As a result there is suspicion of any mov'c that could be interpreted as an American commercial victory at British expense. That is how American policy generally is being interpreted. American officials say it was "psychologically natural" for the British, confused and increasingly insecure as their nation's influence dwindles, to seek a scapegoat.

The phrase "American oil lobby," is becoming common currency. It recalls the "China lobby" description several years ago, when many Britons argued that American support of Nationalist China was leading the world to war. Stanley Evans, a Laborite, was forced to resign from the House of Commons because he supported Prime Minister Eden's Middle East policy. He said: "The American State Department is the impregnable fortress of the American oil companies and they see British Middle East oil growing to the stage when it might become competitive. "The Americans have been engrossed in two main struggles- one against communism and the other against the sterling area.

And they have now made up their minds that the more important struggle is against the sterling area." Fire drives students at NU from home LINCOLN UPi Fire early Thursday drove 27 University of Nebraska students from rooming house into 11 degree cold.

(Sun Photo) Lloyd defers talk on troop withdrawals To leave behind a navy unit, civilian salvaging experts LONDON British government announced Thursday its policy calls for a "phased withdrawal" of British forces from Egypt. The United Nations last Saturday called for immediate and total withdrawal of British, French and Israeli forces. Lord Slaisbury, the government leader in the House of Lords, told the upper chamber Thursday night: "Our policy is that of a phased withdrawal. I understand that a battalion has already left." Shortly before Salisbury spoke, Foreign Secretary Sehvyn Lloyd told the House of Commons lie was deferring a final statement on withdrawal pending consultations here Friday with French Foreign Secretary Christian Pineau.

He said he would make a further statement Monday. At the same time Lloyd strongly hinted that a step-by-step withdrawal was contemplated. After paying tribute to the United Nations for its continuing military buildup in the Suez area, Lloyd declared: "Obviously the buildup of the force must have an important relationship to a phased withdrawal of our own and French trdops." A qualified informant said Wednesday night the British plan is to begin within a few days a withdrawal in stages, but to leave behind a royal navy unit and civilian salvage experts who would help the United Nations clear the Suez Canal. Lloyd told the House: "The U.N. force has now been constituted and is growing in numbers, and I pay tribute speed with which the secretary general and his advisers have acted.

"By Dec. 1, there will be about 2,700 men in Egypt and within 14 days there should be 4,400, among will be some 700 Canadian troops." Lloyr said there should be an organized U.N. force on the ground two weeks, with two Far East," Mr. Bohacek said. His armored car companies and sup- wife and two children, Ann 10, and I porting units.

He has not made definite plans in regard to his newspaper at Wilber, but plans to do so as soon as possible. Negroes abused, stay away from classes CLINTON, For the school but turned back when they students at Clinton High School stayed away from classes Thursday. Bobby Cain, 16-year-old senior, said he and four others started to school bit turned back when they saw a truck filled with white persons parked near the building. "We got within two blocks of the school, saw the truck and just decided to turn around and go home," Cain said. Without elaborating on withdrawal," he went on to say that other important matters to be considered are the "speedy clearance of the canal and the negotiation of a final settlement with regard to the future operation of the canal." Loud cheering from the Conservative benches interrupted him here, Then the foreign secretary said decisions on these matters had to be discussed with the French.

Referring to the U. General Assembly debates on Suez, Lloyd described as "unrealistic" a lution, supported by the United States, demanding an immediate withdrawal of British and French forces. But he added: "I found the atmosphere in the United Nations, considerably improved and a wider understanding of our positions in certain sections of American opinion." U. S. support for the "immediate withdrawal" resolution has sparked anti-American feeling in Britain, especially among the rightwing segment of the Conservative Party.
