On NAT0 Subsidiary
For Middle East
By the Associated Press

OTTAWA, Sept. 81. The
United States, Britain and France
have substantially agreed on or
ganization of a separate North
Atlantic treaty military command
in the Middle East, it was re-
ported today. when Greece and
Turkey join the Atlantic alliance.

Schuman were reported to have
found agreement on major points
of the new command problem with
surprising speed. Gen. Bradley.

Chiefs Of Staff, and other Big
Three military leaders joined in
the discussions.
The plan the three are reported
to have agreed on tentatively
subject to expected approval of
other NATO members and Greece
and Turkey-would put Greece
under Gen. EisenhoWer's European
command.
Turkey would serve as the key
stone of new command around
which the powers here hoped to
coordinate the strategy and armed
forces of the key Middle Eastern
countries. like the Arab states,
even though they do not belong
to NATO. The contention of the
military men is that the practical
basis for such an extraordinary
grouping of countries could be
found in their common need for
joint defense against possible
Soviet attack.
Approved by Joint Chiefs.
The heart of the idea therefore
is to forge new and powerful
military element on RuSSia's flank,
to link it tightly with NATO with
Turkey but not to be bound by
NATO membership limitations in
making it effective. The critical
question now is what the reaction
of Egypt and other non-NATO
countries will be.

demic year, was a paramount fac
tor in the decision. Georgetown
already has adopted an accelerated
scholastic program to help give
its students as much education as
possible before their induction
into the armed forces.
Other Sports to Continue.
In deciding to give up football,
Father Guthrie emphasized that
Georgetown would continue to
field varsity teams in basketball,
baseball and track. and also in
such minor sports as golf and ten
mis-. In the future, he. said, the
school would increase its intra-
mural program and try to give the
students more recreational bene-
fits.
The decision to abandon the
game was made after Father
Guthrie had conferred with all his
conSultants, and. had talked to
Athletic Director Hagerty and
Head Football Coach Bob Mar
garita.
Georgetown had a nine-game
schedule arranged for next au-
tumn, but. as Father Guthrie
noted, only a few of these were to
be played at home. He did not
think this arrangement was par
ticularly beneficial to either the
school or students.
The schedule was as follows:
September 30, at Lafayette.
October 6, at Wake Forest; 13.
Bucknell at home; 10, at Boston
College; q, at Rutgers.
November 3, Richmond at home:

BY the end of June, we may
not have any football players left
in school because of the draft,
the athletic director said.
Hagerty was a star halfback
on the Hilltop elevens in the early
1920sa and was regarded as one
of Georgetown's all-time backs.
Hagerty said Margarita had
been offered position in the
athletic department and would
head up the intramural program
if he chose to remain. The future
of his assistants, Jack Prender-
