Lost Pages
Of 'Ben-Hur'

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct.
5 (AP). = Indiana University,
which claims one of the Ma
tion's largest collections of rare
books and manuscripts. has
received a surprise gift-the
long missing first 81 pages Of
the "Ben-Hur" manuscript.
Frederick B. Adams, jr. direc-
tor of the Pierpont Morgan
Library in New York, presented
the pages to University Pres
ident Herman B. Wells at
recent dedication ceremonies of
the Lilly Library of Rare Books
and Manuscripts.
Present at the dedication was
j. K. Lilly, jr., Indianapolis,
principal donor of the $40
million collection, who had
searched for missing pages Is
years. Mr.. Adams said Harper
Brothers, a New York publish
ing firm, had given the pages to
the Pierpont Morgan Library
about a year ago.
The rest Of the novel by the
Hoosier Civil War General, Lew
Wallace. was already part of
the Lilly collection and was on

pert Adolf Eichmann from
Buenos Aires to Tel Aviv by
Israeli agents. relations be-
tween the two countries suf-
fered badly.
The severance OF diplomatic
relations was narrowly averted,
but Israel's Ambassador Arieh
Levavi was expelled. His expul-
sion allowed Argentina to save
face in a complex situation III
which the spirit of law ap-
peared in conflict with its letter.
Ever since, in spite of decla-
rations from both governments
that "the incident is closed, I"
proper diplomatic relations be-
tween Tel Aviv and Buenos
Aires have not been resumed.
Embassy business is still being
conducted by temporary repre-
sentatives.
Student FIare-Up
What is probably worse, the
incident caused a flare-up of
racial and religious bitterness,
particularly among nationalist
students here, which the gov
ernment found difficult to con-
troll. Old resentments were re-
kindled and degenerated into
violent controversy. Many Ar
gentine Jews identified anti
Semitism with militant Ca
tholicism and retaliated.
Thus, students at the La
Plata University Law School
removed a crucif1x from their
main lecture hall and a Jewish
Judge in a Buenos Aires sub
urb also ordered removal of the
crucifix in his chambers. These
incidents, widely criticized in
the Argentine press. stirred the
controversy still further.
Jewish circles in Buenos
Aires are hopeful that the Dead
Sea scroll fragment and the
stimulation of cultural eX-
change which accompanies its
presence, will go a long way to
iron out the i'll feeling Eich-
mann left behind. Its impact
on public opinion may not be
large but it already proved
useful in high government
spheres.

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 5

Trial Students
To Summer
Those Who Pass
To Be Admitted
On Regular Busis
By JOHN ROSSON

BALTIMORE, Nov. 30.-Stu-
dents entering the University of
Maryland ION trial" will now be
required to attend a special pre-
college summer term at the
College Park campus before
they are admitted to the regular
student body.
The special six-week term,
which board members said will
be the only one of its kind in
the country, was set up today
at a meeting Of the regents
here.
If the ION trial" student does
satisfactory work in the special
term, he will be able to enroll
in regular classes in the fall
and spring sessions. If his
work is not satisfactory, he will
not be admitted to the uni
verSity.
Elkins Cites Fairness
Establishment of the term
was proposed by University
President Wilson H. Elkins, who
said the new system would be
fairer to students with ques-
tionable academic achieve
mentS.
DR.. Elkins told the regents
the university should not go on
admitting such students and
then being forced to drop them
because of poor grades.
"On-trial" students now at
tend classes during the fall
and spring terms. DR.. Elkins
said some $50 such students are
enrolled this fall.
/ In effect, the new plan would
mean that the university would
not have any "on-trial" stu
dents except during the new
special term. which would CO.
incide with the university's reg
ular summer school session.
None Out of State
The new plan applies only
to Maryland students. Out-of-
State students are not admitted
to the university on an "on-
trial" basis.

The District should have a
bigger voice on the National
Capital Planning Commission.
according to a management
analyst in the Budget Bureau.
Norman Beckman, empha-
sizing he was speaking as an
individual analyst rather than
a representative Of the Budget
Bureau, contended the District
should have more than two
members on the 10-member
planning commission. He sug-
gested twice that many or at
least one additional member for
the District.
At some future date. he said.
the District itself might take
over some of its planning func-
tions. However, he said this
responsibility should not be
assumed until after the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission has completed and re-
ceived approval of its land-use
plan for the District.
In another address at a pro-
gram sponsored by the NCPC
last night in the General Serv-
ices Auditorium, William K.
Holl, District Government
management officer, attacked
the contention that the Fed
eral and District interests are
different.
Mr.. Holl said the District
Commissioners through the

to Keep the city a pleasant

The rezoning request had
been filed by owners Of prop
erty between Norton and Ord
way streets. If the request is
approved, plans call for con-
structing an eight-story apart
ment building there. Two
homes now are standing on this
block facing Wisconsin avenue.
Attorney James C. Wilkes.
representing the applicants,
argued that the rezoning would
have no adverse impact on the
area. Instead. he said, the
change would materially con-
tribute" to the development
that is taking place along
Wisconsin avenue.
Impact on Area Seen
The present coming along the
f1ve-block stretch covered by
the coming application permits
apartment construction, but
only the garden type and not
the high rise buildings.
At today's hearing, Reuben
Clark, a spokesman for ID
Cleveland Park homeowners,
said the Overriding issue" In
the case is the impact recon-
ing would have on the resi-
Dental area.
MIR. Clark, lawyer. of 1912
Newark street NV, cited traf-
fic and school factors in his
argument against the request.
Petition Signed by 800
He told the commission that
Cleveland Park is one of the
city's few areas made up OF
middle class landowners who
have come back into the city
from the suburbs. High-rise
apartments. which cut off light
and air, could reverse this
trend, Mr.. Clark said.
An opposition petition carry
ing about 300 names also was
submitted to the commission.
Citizen opposition also included
a statement by Mrs. Walter
Sellers of 1899 Massachusetts,
avenue NV, representing the
coming committee of the Ca
thedral Heights-Cleveland Park
Citizens Association.
Earlier, the zoning Commits
sion heard a request that would
allow construction of a branch
