POLISH STUDENTS CLASH WITH
 POLICE OVER PRESS FREEDOM

} WARSAW R-Communist auth critics today threatened severe sanctions against students who took part in Warsaw's first anti government demonstration since Wladaslaw Gomulka came into power
 Riot police backed by worker militia men battled about 2,000 students in melee of tear gas, rubber truncheons and bricks last night outside the Warsaw Poly techic School. The students were protesting suppression of their newspaper.
 30 Under Arrest
 About 30 students were report ed under arrest. Ten police were injured by bricks rained down from windows of a student board ing house and by paving stones hurled in the streets. Several stu dents were treated for effects of tear gas and bruises from trunch- cons.
 Morning papers carried this warning to the students:
 "It is understood the rector of Polytechnic has said severe sane tions will be taken against partic- ipants Gin the demonstration, in cluding expulsion from college"
 The official account said police had arrested "those who were the most aggressive"
 Youth Party Breaks Away
 The demonstration was the first break between the Communist Party and it's officially sponsored Union of Socialist Youth.
 The Polytechnic School students were in the forefront of the surge for freedom that produced the downfall of the. Stalinist govern ment and party heirarchy last year and the return of Gomulka to government leadership.
 As Communist Party secretary, Gomulka had charted more moderate course after taking over 12 months ago following the 'fbread and freedom" uprising of workers in Poznan. But the gov ernment ruled the students pa per'S attacks on Stalinism had gone too far
 Good-Humored at First
 The students gathered at Naru- towicza Square in the evening in answer to summons for a pro- test rally posted in all Warsaw schools earlier in the day.
 At first the crowd was good humored. Then six police trucks and four radio cars sped into the square with sirens going full blast.
 The students jeered as the po- lice lined up around the square. A loudspeaker called on the demon strators to go home
 The police marched shoulder to shoulder on the students. Fist fights broke out. The police at tackled with truncheons.
 We Want Gas"
 We want gas," the students yelled sarcastioally. The police obliged by throwing tear gas gre nades. The 2,0O0 students broke and ran
 An hour later, about 500 stu dents massed on the steps of boarding house near the school.
 s'Gestapo, Gestapo," they shout ed as the police approached. The police again laid down a tear gas barrage. The students fled into the boarding house.
 Factory militia workers established by the government to cope with such public disturbanc- es-then arrived from the Zeran auto works to reinforce the police.
 This provoked another outburst of fighting and another gas attack by the police. By midnight, five ho11rc . far tho firct r11fbroaL o,-

players receive spring training in Shreveport or Mesa
or if Ralph Dupas has one-Quarter Negro blood?
It makes no difference in AT states but in Louisiana
these situations smack into law which prohibits
Negroes from engaging in athletic competition with
whites.
Miss Gibson, the worlds greatest woman tennis play

The Cubs hoping to find another Willie Mays or
Jackie Robinson or Don Newcombe along their farm
hands, have moved these players to Mesa where they
may be tried and tested Exit the Cubs from Louisiana
With this headlong rush into inactivity it would
appear that Louisiana would be in sad straits in it's

With the nations Jewish population overwhelm-
ngly opposed to discrimination against the Negro it
is difficult to understand why the Council of Jewish
Federatons and Welfare Funds did not impose boy

And, to look at it more selfishly, state laws dis

state laws discriminating against Negroes.

posal that President Eisenhower
appoint "a competent Middle East
team of experts" to study Arab
Israel issues and to make recon-
mendations to him on how to solve
them will be given thoughtful
consideration" the President in
dicated.
However, he pointed out that he
must reserve judgment for the

al would "at this moment" be pru-
dent and productive.
The proposal was advanced by
Congressman Victor L. Anfuso in
report to the President following
the formers visit to Middle East
countries on a food study mission.
In his report to the President,
the New York Democrat advocated
"a complete revaluation and turn
over in our present foreign policy"
He said: 1--WE have not completely
lost the Middle East, but it will
not be long before we do if we
fail to change our do-nothing policy
until a crisis occurs, to a positive

Stone Housing Is kubbu+z Luxury

In the dining room fresh bread,
jam, and tea is available. Then off
come the sweaty, dirt-stained
clothes. Israeli, French, Spanish,
and American songs emerge from
the shower houses.
The leisurely evening repaSt is
available from $50 to 9. Children
are often with their parents at this
meal.
A popular evening activity is the
"kum-sitz" (Yiddish, meaning
come and siD. Friends are invited
to the room of "chaver" for cof-
fee, tea, cookies, and candy. Some
times they listen to records or a
fine concert on Kol Israel, the state
radio station.
TUESDAY NIGHT is cinema

British, with Hebrew translation in

This kibbutz is secular. We hold

Jewish News Special Correspondent
Elm HASHLO OSHA, Israeli am
sitting on top of the water tower.
The late afternoon sun is cast
ing long shadows in the crevasse
of the wadi. To the northwest lies
the sea. South are the buildings Of
the kibbutz. Orderly they stretch in
parallel units. Along the periphery
of this hub of dwellings lie the
fields, some green with growth,
others brown with burrows.
In one of those buildings is my
room, my home for one year.
Four months ago, aboard the
IS Zion docked In Haifa, a Jewish
Agency representative told IL of
us Americans we were destined for
Kibbutz Elm Hashlosha. A five-hour
truck ride across half the state
brought me to this dot on the map,
this collective settlement in the
Western Negev.
Elm HASHLOSHA was named
for two men and a girl who died
on the site during the War for In
dependence. Their graves are near
the kibbutZ entrance. In November
the settlement celebrated its eighth
anniversary.
The "chaverim" (frlends) live in
two types of buildings, wooden
"treefim" or stone "batim." New
comers are assigned rooms in the
wooden units. After three years OF
residence in these rooms, "cha-
yer" is privileged to move into
the permanent stone buildings.
A "reef" resembles motel unit
of five rooms. They have tile floors
and a long front porch running the
length of the building. My room Is
about 10 feet square. 1t contains
three beds, table, chair, clothes
closet. and one window.
OUTSIDE Is a cold water tar
for washing purposes. Our lava
tory Is about 500 feet down q dir
path. Near the lavatory Is the
shower house. Here there Is no
and cold running water all day.

ranged in motel-type units. These
interiors are furnished with mod
ern furniture. Each room has an
adjoining shower and toilet plus
private porch.
My roommates are University
of Utah graduate and a girl who
completed three years study at the
University of Buffalo.
After two luxurious weeks of
idleness aboard ship, kibbutz life
came as a sharp change. Here
work begins at 6 am. Outside the
dining room is posted the work
schedule. We see where we are to
work, perhaps pick up a slice of
bread and jam from the kitchen,
then walk to our jobs.
BREAKFAST is served from 7:45
to 8 am. A person may eat any
time he wishes. There are no re-
served seats. One sits at the table
being served.
The Israeli breakfast consists OF
tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers
that each individual cuts up for
his own salad. Also eggs, cheese,
bread, margarine, hot cereal, jam,
tea. and coffee. On Sabbath there
is hot cocoa.
Work resumes until noon. There
Is usually an hours rest period
after the noon meal, which is the
days largest meal.

dining room, where collectors bus
