a time during which the idea of
liberty filled the air that men
breathed. When the question of
establishing the new college arose,
1t was paramount consideration
that this idea be embodied in the
institutions name. However. these
were still Englishmen who were
chartering the course of the
school. and it was to England that
they turned for the men whose
names the college should bear
not to Englishmen who represent

his younger contemporary. Sydney
he had been motivated in his poll
teal stand by his Christian con-
viction that the rights of the peo-
pie must be defended against the
appressor. He had said. There
are two conditions under which
resistance to the king becomes the
duty of good subject an attack
upon religion. and an attack upon
the fundamental laws
Although the English Civil War
ended in 1916. the restoration of
the Stuarts in 1860 revived the
struggle against oppression. The
banner of freedom this time was
carried by Algernon Sydney. who
was beheaded on Tower Hill in
1888 for his role in the fight for
the cause of mankind. He had
written God created us in the

Both Hampden and Sydney en-
bodied the close relation between
religion and freedom-and the
ultimate triumph was theirs: for
by the close of the century the in
instruments of royal oppression
had been weakened and the lib
critics of the English people made
more secure in the passage of a

The committee still hopes to

retroactive the future pay boosts
given per diem workers. Federal

that of the two bills, the retro
active measure is the one which
they would most prefer to see en-
acted into law this year..
The Senate group is revising
the bill to make the pay boost
retroactive to the date on which

making the pay boosts retroac-

Dulles, Pearson
Confer Today
BY JOHN NJ. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press stan Writer


Secretary of State Dulles
probably will tell Canadian For
eign Minister Lester B. Pearson
today the United States is pre-
pared to join in an effort to CO.
ordinate the foreign policies of
Western nations.
Mr.. Pearson is a member of a
three-man committee formed by
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganizatioin (NATO) with the
aim of finding ways to broaden
the work Of the alliance.
Mr.. Pearson, who came here
Saturday, planned to talk sep
arately with Mr.. Dulles and with
Senator George, Democrat of
Georgia. who was named recent
ly by President Eisenhower to
work on the problem of giving
NATO new duties beyond its
military responsibilities.
To Meet With Adenauer
Mr.. Dulles was preparing to
meet also with West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer,
due here at 6 pm. today. The
West German republics par
liamentary body now is debat-
ing DR.. Adenauer's proposal fol-
creating a 500,00O-man military
force under NATO.
Mr.. Dulles about six weeks
ago launched a move to devotion
what the called something
more than a military alliance"
in the Atlantic Community "
He expressed concern that with
ilesSening danger of war the
Western allies may tend to nllll
apart, and the Atlantic alliance
may become inactive, unless new
and more immediate day-to-day
tasks are found for It.
At the last meeting of the
NATO council in Paris a .nonth
ago, Mr.. Dulles advocated for
nation of committee to solicit
the views of all Is member ma
Itions on what steps might be
taken to broaden its work. The
committee is to report its find-
ingS and recommendations at a
conference of NATO foreign
ministers next fall.
Many Issues Involved
Mr.. Dulles has taken the line
that there are many issues in
volving vital interests of the
Western powers on which their
policies should be co-ordinated
and for which no machinery OF
coordination exists.
He has cited native uprisings
against the French in North At
RIGA, Soviet moves and the dan.
ger to peace in the Middle East
and the British Greek Turkish
dispute over Cyprus as examples
OF problems which the NATC
council could have dealt witt
had 1t been authorized to do so
One possibility he has studied
Is a proposal that each of 'ht
NATO member government.
should commit itself to consul
tation in the future on such
issues.
