In depositing his country's rati-
Henri Bonnet. French

point that the President made
about the alliance holding no
threat to any nation-obviously
Russia and her satellites.

Italy Halls Principles.
Italy's instrument Of ratification
was presented by Counselor OF

clared the principles of the pact
correspond to the aspirations OF

reserved contribution of her moral
and material possibilities and OF
her ancient tradition of civiliza-

The United States. Canada.
Britain, France, the Netherlands,
Belgium, and Luxembourg made
up the group of seven countries
which began negotiating the pact

completed it early this year. The
treaty itself provided that it
should come into force when all
seven had ratified it.
: The total membership of the
alliance was raised to II last
March when five other nations
in the Western European Atlantic
area accepted invitations to join.
Those five were Norway, Italy,
Portugal, Iceland and Denmark.
Use of Force Provided.
The treaty's action clauSe-in
which the Western powers state
the defensive nature of the COM
pact-provides first that an at-
tack on any one Of the members

If such an armed attack. occurs,
each of them will assist the

NEWARK, N. j., Mar. 4.-Gus
Lesnevich was highly popular

he still wants to regain his light

ager-who was looking for seat
and didn't see the knockout

dressing room that he had received
offers from the Tournament of
Champions and the Twentieth

Where is that Russian?" Vella
shouted as he stormed into the

English fighter who lifted Lesne-

The 21-Second KO was the
quickest the Clifside IN. j. bat

LoyoIa, Mason-Dixon
Title in Hand, Eyes
National Tourney

With its third consecutive Mason
Dixon title tucked away. Loyola
OF Baltimore had its eye on the
National intercollegiate Basket
Ball Association tournament open
ing Monday at Kansas City.
The GreyhoundS defeated Hamp-
den-Sydney before some, 200 fans
at Catholic University gym last
night, 70-59, for the championship.
The victory automatically quail
fed them for the Kansas City
junket. Loyola'S JayveeS made 1t
a clean sweep by noSing out Roa-
noke in the preliminary, 57-55.
Hampden-Sydney. undefeated in
regular league competition, wasn't
too much trouble for Jim Lacy
and his teammates, who jumped
into an early lead and held it all
the way. Loyola had a tougher
time disposing of American Uni
versity. It'll. in the semifnals.
Lacy Has Big Night.
Lacy had another hot hand last
night, racking up 81 points before
fouling out in the last five seconds.
Bob Anderson tossed in II and
Andy O'Donnell Is, and every
time the Tigers threatened one of
the trio came through with a shot
to help cool off the ambitious
Virginians.
Hampden-Sydney with Ambrose
Vulgan, Will Taylor and Jim Hunt
bearing the brunt of the attack,
pulled up to 1920 at near the
end of the first half, but Loyola
pulled away and held 35-29
margin at the half.
Late in the game Emerson
johnson. who topped Hampden-
SydneyS scoring with 12 points,
Vulgan and Bill Balas launched
another drive that pulled the Ii
gers within hailing distance of the
foe at $500. But Loyola was
breezing at that stage and soon
after put the freeze on the ball
to clinch matters.
Hampden-Sydney Star Off.
Hampden Sydney's angular
Sticks MCLEAN was off on his
pivot shots last night and scored
only four field goals. johnson
and Vulgan matched this in a
rather evenly-spread scoring exhi-
bltion. The Virginians, who played
every night this week, seemed a
bit tired in the second half, while
Loyola had the pressure on them
all the way.
The Tigers gained the title
round by defeating Mount st.
Mary's. 57-54, and Bridgewater,
7l-62, while Loyola previously had
bumped Roanoke, $3.50, and A. U.
Lacy was unanimous choice
for the all-tournament team for
the third consecutive year. Ron
ME GarShag Of American U. vir-
tually was a unanimous selection.
Bob Lamon of A. U. also made
the first five, along with Mike
