The following day, Mr.. Diem
told a capacity audience at a
National Press Club luncheon,
eve can never repeat often
enough how effective the moral
and material aid of the American
people to Vietnam has been. This

riod following his formal speech,
Mr.. Diem was asked what his re.
ligion Is and what factor it has

"She wants to leaven society
with many reasonably well-train-
ed Catholic business men, pro-
fessional men, mothers and faith
ers, sisters, brothers and priests.
This is what the secular universi-
ties have been doing in their
fields, and from the multitudes
so trained, the intellectual lead
ers emerge:
MANY professors and scholars
Of excellence are now finding
great Joy in their work in our
Catholic colleges and universi-
ties. They add to our hope for
the future.
"As the percentage of Catholics
among the learned rises, the
number of Catholic intellectual
leaders will rise too," he said.

PRESIDENT
 SIGNS CIVIL RIGHTS BILL

NEWPORT, RI, R-President Eisenhower today signed into law the history-making civil rights bill empowering the federal gov ernment to enforce the right to vote with court injunctions.
 Only group of photographers and Press Secretary James flag eryt witnessed the signing. The President used six pens. He issued no statement.
 The quiet signing came against the background of the tense inte- grafton crisis at Little Rock, Ark. However, the bill Eisenhower signed is primarily right-to- vote measure which has no direct bearing on that crisis.
 The new law repeals a post Civil War era bill authorizing the President to use troops to enforce court orders in civil rights cases.
 But Administration officials ob- viously feel Eisenhower has other powers for the handling of that situation.
 Aside from broad new powers to enforce voting rights, the new law will also:
 Establish a member presi- dential commission to make a two-year study in the civil rights field;
 Provide for a new assistant at torney general to head and make stronger the civil rights division in the Justice Department.
 Eliminate the requirement that federal court jurors be qualified under the laws of states in which they serve. This is designed to make certain Negroes can serve on federal juries.

By ANGELO NATALIE

AMMAN, Jordan, R-The first US. arms were flown here today to begin a Middle East buildup against any threat from pro-Sovi- ct Syria.
 Jordanian officials and other dignitaries were on hand to greet the convoy of eight Globemasters and Flying Boxcars bringing re- coilless rifles, Jeeps, machine guns and ammunition.
 Five Air Force Globemasters were the first to arrive over Am man. They circled the city before landing at Amman's military air port just after noon.
 US. Ambassador Lester D. Nal lory was seated in the place of honor on a special platform with Deputy Premier and Foreign Min ister Samir Rafai, Army Chief of Staff Habis Majali and the Jor- dan Regency Council. King Illus sein is vacationing in Spain.
 Eight Jeeps mounted with re- coilless rifles rolled from each end of the five Globemasters. An other Globe master and two fly ing boxcars followed.
 The sixth Globemaster and the two Flying Boxcars which came about half hour later carried 30 and 50 caliber machineguns and ammunition for the recoilless rifles, which are antitank weap- ons.

Prime Minister Diefenbaker Calls For Common Sense and Mutual
 Trust Between Canada and US.

HANOVER, NH, -Canada's Prime Minister, John Diefenba- ker, has called for an approach of common sense, frankness and mu-' tual trust in U.S.-Canadian rela- tiOnS.
 Canadians, he said, don't like being cut out of the wheat mar ket by the US. program of dis posing of surplus wheat.
 They also don't like> the US. tariffs on manufactured goods and the nature of US. capital in vestment in Canada, he said.
 Diefenbaker addressed a sem inar on Great Issues at Dart mouth College. He was awarded an honorary law electorate.
 He said he wanted to caution the US. with utmost frankness and goodwill, and in the interests of the fullest understanding" against policies that could weaken economically smaller free coun- tries, such as Canada.
 Canada, he said is the United States greatest customer. But he complained the US. is buying only raw materials or partially manufactured materials from her neighbor to the north because 'sthe US. tariff system prohibits any major import of manufac- tured goods"
 The Prime Minister said US. firms which invest in Canada should be incorporated as Cana dian companies and should make stock available to Canadians.
 Diefenbaker served notice, too, wise land selections to be made by in continental defense she is not sacrificing her sovereignty over the northern areas where air bas- eS and radar lines have been set up.

ASTRONOMY NOTES By OLAF HALVORSON

The approaching full moon which will be on Tuesday eve ming, Oct. 8, is called the Hunters Moon. It is so called because it appears very large on the eastern horizon and aids hunters in their pursuit of wild game. The small angle that the moon makes with the horizon at this time of the year causes the moon to rise less than half an hour later on sue cessive evenings.
 A month ago, on Sept. 8, the Harvest Moon was shining at full. It is called the Harvest Moon be- cause of its shining during the harvest season. One can picture the moon at that season shining through the corn shocks, lighting up the large, ripe, golden pump kins lying on the ground between the shocks or squash, watermel- ons, and other vegetables. Sur veying all the beauty of the har- vest field might be lonely owl hooting from a nearby tree

 Over Surface Transport
Transport

FAIRBANKS, RAConflicting viewpoints were expressed here yesterday on Senate bill that would place all Alaskan surface transportation, including steam ships and the Alaska Railroad, under the jurisdiction of the In- terstate Commerce Commission
 Speaking in favor of the bill were Howard Weaver, president of a trucking firm, and Robert Leslie, business agent for the Teamsters Union local 183.
 Opposed to ICC jurisdiction at this time were the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce, repre- sented by Don w. Pearson, and Everett Ration, president of Alas ka Overland, bus firm.
 The hearing was conducted by subcommittee of the Senate In- terstate and Foreign Commerce Committee.
 Pearson said the Chamber of Commerce opposed the bill pri- marily because statehood for Alaska was imminent Under the statehood bills, the ICC will take over interstate regulation and a state board will regulate com merce within the new state.
 Weaver declared there was much rate cutting and other dis criminatory practices in Alaska in respect to truck transportation

 On the question of defense out lays, Wilson said he is ready to "agree with my military advisers that we have about reached the minimum" for such spending.
 The defense chief announced a new Air Force order limiting pay ments to aircraft manufacturers to a strict monthly schedule. The idea is to help hold down defense spending.
 Wilson commented Wednesday that he did not think the Air Force order would hurt aircraft manufacturer as badly as some feared.
 But in Seattle, the Boeing Air plane Co. termed the order "seri- ous," and said it may slow down production. The company makes B-52 bombers and KC-135 tank CTS. Wilson conceded some com panies would have to lay off workers.
