Several important areas Of disagree

secret Military Stan Committee,
charged with organizing an inter-
national police force, rushed first

curity Council.
Sources considered extremely re-
liable said the committee Of admirals
and generals from the i've major
powers would take a formal vote on
the entire report just before passing
it to the Council April 80. On the
basis of the present situation, these
sources said, the vote would be { to 1,
with Russia in the minority.
Two Major Disagreements.
Regardless of the actual vote, the
Soviet Union stands opposed to the
majority on two major points, with
little chance sighted for breaking
the deadlock In committee. These
points were understood to be:
!. Russia insists that all forces
drafted into q global army should
be sent back to their home coun-
tries Immediately on dissipation Of
a threat to peace. The other ma
tions contend that such forces may
come from bases outside home terri
tory and should not be forced to 60
all the way home.
For instance, acceptance of the
Russian view here would leave the
Red Army the only major fighting
force in the immediate area of the
Balkans.
2. Russia wants the Big Five to
earmark equal" contingents for the
global army. Under this plan all five
would furnished the identical num-
ber of battleships, bombers and
soldiers. The other nations on the
committee were said to insist on
equivalent" contributions, whereby
one country might provide more
planes and less soldiers.
Forces Would Be Equal.
Under the Russian proposal, with
the coming into effect of world
wide arms reduction, no nation
would, for instance, have more
bombers than the Soviet Union. In

One possible reason for the
move is that Sec. of State

justified. The New York Times,
which is pretty close to State
Dept. bargaining, asks Jan. 30
for more support of Chang Kali

America is no longer sitting down

people. There are other people
too. They have formed a sort of
bund. Some of them dash ahead
and grab the cheerleaders seats or
stand under the basket trying to
capture the ball during warmup.
The rest of them wait and come
too late to sit in the audience and

all by themselves telling the coach
who to put in and telling the play
ers what to do when they do get in.
These people never, never cheer

wonder why their suggestions are
not followed. They have been

results. This creates rather tense

and especially coaches.

wears beautiful red and white uni
forms. They are the best players,
for they do not have the psyche
logical handicap of knowing they
look pretty terrible, as do the
other kinds of players. These play

not feel it necessary to run down
the floor with their backs to the
audience, which is very difficult, in

front of them so that their uni
forms cannot be seen. They do

The other kinds of players wear

white and blue satin uniforms.
They are the unhappy players.
They have been known to crawl
under the bench to hide themselv-
es. They really do not need to do
this, for their uniforms are very
pretty. The one has blue shorts
and shirts and gold letters. The
other kind is just sort of red, white
and blue, but the two kinds do not
look at all well together or in COM
bination. Some of them are shiny
which looks very snappy indeed.
There is another division of play
ers that can be made = players
whose uniforms are big enough
and those whose uniforms are too
small. Not much should be writ
ten about this latter grouping,
however, for it might make the
players self-conscious.
