Associated Press experts on
Russia and the Far East told the
editors yesterday that American
prestige abroad had slipped a
great deal in the last two years
and something needs to be done
now to revive it.
The writer's, Robert Eunson
and William L. Ryan, said the
American press could help in
this effort by keeping the public
fully informed on world affairs
They said the Kremlin is
directing skillful propaganda
campaign everywhere in the free
world designed to create turmoil
and to poison minds against
Americans, and Mat the United
States needed to do a better
propaganda job of it's own.
Mr.. Ryan, APPS foreign
analyst who spent some time ir
Moscow. offered this explana-
ton for the general decline in
American prestige:
when the war was over,
people concluded there would be
a great new world in which the
United States would help every

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Nov. 20.-Rejecting an 11th hour
Indian bid to widen talks on
President Eisenhower's plan for
a peaceful international atomic
program. Western sponsors
pushed today for final accept
ance of the program.
Some Western diplomats pre-
dicted the 60-nation Political
Committee would approve the
plan unanimously, possibly
Monday.
India's v. K. Krishna Menon
blocked committee attempts tc
reach a vote last night by de-
manding an opportunity to speak
Monday on the seven nation
resolution indorsing the pro-
gram. The resolution has been
virtually assured of Soviet
support.
Mr.. Menon first caused stir
by suddenly tossing in an
amendment to increase the circle

tiations to set up an interna-
tional atomic energy agency.

United States Chief Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge. jr., quickly
made plain the sponsors would
agree to no such change which
he said, would open the door to
nations outside the U. N. @s
Mr.. Menon has been dickering
all week with other delegates in
an effort to get backing for his
proposal. He gained some salts
faction when Ecuador Burma
and Yugoslavia advocated a
widening of the circle of partici-
pants. But all three made clear
they would not insist on the
resolution being changed.
In the General Assembly yes

The clash came after Mrs. Os-

the narcotics seized in illicit
traffic can be traced to Commu-
mist China"

When Mrs: Lord finished speak,
ing Russia's G. F. Saksin took
the floor for a point of order and
accused Mrs. Lord of making a
"SlanderouS and mendacious" at

accused her of taking advan-
tage of the fact the lawful rep

A moment or two later the
police veteran finished reading
the statement with a closing
note by DR.. Sheppard that "hope
you will give me the opportunity
to give you additional informa-

to remember or ! find it"
Then Common Pleas Court
Judge Edward Blythin called a
recess and reporters closed in
with requests for a look at the
statement.
Later, the prosecution said it
had no idea what DR.. Sheppard
meant about the potential low

persons mentioned by the de-
fendant had been checked out
completely and cleared"
Prosecution lawyers refused to
say whether the persons had
taken lie detector tests.

that police questioned DR.. Shep-

Stephen Sheppard, the accused
osteopath's brother, have inter-
viewed three persons at that
city's Homicide Bureau.

Denying Love Affair
Is Read 10 Court
BY The Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 20.--Could
a spurned potential" lover with
a sadistic sense of satisfaction
have killed pregnant Mariiyn
Sheppard in q state of frenzy?
That was question raised by
Dr.. Samuel H. Sheppard in a
police statement read late yes
terday at his irst-degree murder
trial.
The trial is in adjournment
for the week end.
The 30-year-old osteopath Is
accused of killing his 31-year-old
wife in the bedroom of their
suburban Bay Village home last
July 4.
Read by Detective.
The statement, which also
touched on "other women" in
the case, was read to the tense
courtroom by Detective Robert
F. Schottke. the first Cleveland
policeman to reach the murder
scene.
For the most part the state
ment, taken last July 10. had
been a recital of events already
disclosed. Then, suddenly the
detective read these words:
@. Do you know of any reason
why some one else should have
taken her life?
A. Possibly.
@. Will you state the possi-
bility?

Automotive engineers, in devel-
oping their new high-compression
engines, recognized the inn
portance of keeping these smaller
combustion chambers free of de-
posits. They asked for a new mo-
tor oil to do this job.
Today, at the request of these
engineers, the Sun Oil Co. has
developed Sunoco Special Hi
Compression Motor Ola new
kind of oil made especially for
modern, ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

rob gasoline of power. Ordinary
oils are not able to cope with this
problem; in fact, many of them
increase deposits instead of reduc-
ing them.
Sunoco Special Hi-C Compression
Motor Oil actually controls these
deposits. 1t keeps new engines
clean. And where heavy deposits
have formed in older engines of
good mechanical condition, use of
this unique oil for l or 2 drain
periods should clean much of them
away. Thus it not only controls
knock, but in SO doing gives any
gasoline more power. For your next
oil change ask for Sunoco Special

counselling service.
Negro Americans, our largest
minority group, represent 10 per
cent of our population but less
than one per cent of our inter-
racial college population, the Ms
SINS states. It contends that
broadening the educational oppor-
tunities for qualified Negro stu
dents will enable them to take
their appropriate places of lead
ership and add to the total of
trained and skilled manpower for
which there is such an acute ma
tional need.
Acco I'D ing,y, the NSSFNS
sought an objective analysis by
man-power specialists of the mag
nitude and quality of existing tai
ent and the extent of their finan-
cial need. Such an analysis was
rendered by DR.. Eli Ginzberg, Dr.
rector, and DR.. Douglas Bray, his
associate, Of the Conservation of
Human Resources of the Graduate
School of Business of Columbia
University.
They projected that, on the basis
of the figures disclosed by the
project, there were now about L.
200 Negro students each year
throughout the entire South who
could be considered qualified col
iege candidates; this figure, how
ever, includes only those who were
in the upper 10 per cent of their
class and who have taken a college
preparatory course. To provide
for the total financial needs of
these students, about 100000
would be needed.
The analysis noted that less
than three per cent of all Negro
high school graduates in the states
covered by the project were found
to be likely candidates for an in
terracial college. This relatively
poor showing is the result of re-
duced motivation to learn in school
because of economic and cultural
deprivation in the home and the
i'll effects of segregation on the
development of scholastic aptitude.
An additional aim of the talent
search project is to involve local
community leaders in the discov-
cry of able Negro students. Ac-
cording to the report, some prog
ress has already been made toward
organizing community committees
in Richmond, Atlanta, Louisville
and Kansas City.

Tidewater Profits
At STEADY Level

New York.-Tide Water Asso-
ciated Oil Co., Inc, had net income
of 26,967, 900, equal to $2.01 per
share, for the first nine months of
1854, according to D. T. Staples,
president. This compared with $780,
915, 900, or $500 per share, for the
similar 1853 period.
Staples stated that these figures
were based upon 13,433, 299 shares
of common stock outstanding on
September 80, and that the figures
were for the net income of the
parent company only, including all
dividends received from subsidiary
companies.
He noted that the net book value
of the shares on September 80 was
$25.O6 per share, and that the
capital expenditures for the first
nine months of 1854 were SAL ,123,-
900 as compared with $32,O44,OOO
for the similar 1853 period. The
capital expenditures for the third
quarter of 1854 were $16,671, 900
as compared with $11,611,0O0 for
the third quarter Of 1853. These
increases in capital expenditures
reflect the accelerated exploratory,
development, and expansion pro-
gram of the company, he said.

Segregation
Fight Law Is
Unconstitutional

Austin, Tex. - A Texas law
which prohibits Negroes and
Whites from boxing together pro-
fessionally was declared unconsti-
tutional last week by the Third
Court of Civil Appeals.
The decision reversed an earlier
one by a district judge which up
held the state law and a new trial
was ordered for l. H. "Sporty"
Harvey, a San Antonio light heavy
weight who was plaintiff in the ac-
ton.
Harvey had challenged the con-
stitutionality of the law contend
ing it kept him from making as
much money as he might and pre-
venting him from ever winning a
recognized state championship.
The appeals court upheld Har-
vey, holding that the Texas law
violated the 14th amendment to

Complementing and extending
these detectives were the addition
al aims of determining the number
of Negro students potentially
