Dulles conferred with Israeli Ambassador Abba Khan about the revived Arab-Israeli crisis which had complicated administration hopes for a Middle East settlement.
It was understood that Dulles warned Eban that Israel would not obtain the security it sought by continuing to refuse to recall troops from the Gaza Strip and the approaches to the Gulf of Aqaba.
But Eban told newsmen after the parley that Israel could not obey the U.N. demand until it received “concrete and tangible guarantees” against renewal of Egyptian attacks on its territory and shipping.
Opposition To Sanctions Meantime, a steady stream nf congressmen arose in the House and Senate to register opposition to any U.N. move to impose economic sanctions on

Fallacies of Marx Exposed by Lockley
By MARILEE MILROY
“People who are being led into communism (so-called) are not pulled by hope, but pushed by despair,” states Dean Lawrence C. Lockley, dean of the SC School of Commerce, in his February Economic Letter.
The people in the middle east and the Orient as well as other parts of the world are “hungry and hopeless” and are “approached by strangers with words of sympathy and promises of land.” They are soon unknowingly caught in the web of communism.
Communist Count Noted There are large cities full of just such needy people, the letter reads . . . “Peiping has 2.700,000; Shanghai has 7,000.-000: Cairo has 2.548.677; greater Mexico City has 3,795,567” among many others.
The reason for the qualification “so-called” is that the present use of the word communism describes a totalitarian regime that does not follow the Marxian doctrine of classless society and leadership of the proletariat. “Russia is not and has not been a communistic country,” says Lockley. It is a “totalitarian state . . . attempting to maintain the control of a relatively small elite group within Russia.” Unreasonable Arrests Made
The elite group maintains this control, states the letter, by having sudden arrest and deportations to labor camps for “any or no reason . . . not necessarily the consequence of guilty or wrongful conduct.”
Marx’s idea of a classless society is completely ignored and the elite group comprised of favored artists, political party members and technicians is a “tight and tidy club of some five million or maybe six or seven million,” Lockley says.
Few Set Policy Of the privileged group, “the very top guard of three or so men set policy in detail for all of Russia. The immediate and supporting group implements that policy.”
The education ol Russia as compared with that of the United States is behind this country in several respects, Lock-
ley writes. “There are 850 institutions of higher learning in Russia as compared with 1850 in the United States.” The elite group and those who can afford to pay the high tuition charges send their children to the universities. This enrollment comprises 13 per cent of the students. The rest are sent to technical schools. . . .
Specialized Job Training
Many technical schools in Russia deliver courses in Job training that are equivalent to the six-week welding courses given here in America during World War II. This type of course trains a worker “to do an acceptable job of welding, using only one type of equipment, with only one type of material, and on a seam in only one position, in four to six weeks.” Such training is so specialized that, according to Dean Lockley, the technicians cannot move from job to job but must perform the type of job that they were trained for.
Russia’s education system is arranged so that curiosity and inquisitiveness on the part of those being taught is discouraged. the training being “intended for docile members of a totalitarian state: for people who do not question that they should go where they are sent, and who do what they are put to doing.”
Too Many Assumptions
Marx “based his thinking on fallacious assumptions . . . did not develop a socialist structure.” In speaking out against capitalism he was a “prophet of discontent, not an economic or social architect.”
One of these “fallacious assumptions” was that there will always be a class war in social and economic organization. Since a growth of industry requires a corresponding growth in markets, Lockley says, “the inherent tendency, therefore is for class differences to decrease.”
After Stalin came into power Russia attempted to increase industrial output and “infiltrate into other countries” while a small amount has been done internally to “broaden civil liberties.” the monthly Economic Letter points out.

Four women’s clubs will actively participate in the matinee. These include the Spurs who will present their freshmen little sisters, the Chimes with their transfer members and the Phrateres who will present their extension members.

Only some 120 students have officially registered for rushing in the Interfraternity Counselor’s office but the larger figure | was released hy IFC Rush i Chairman Dick Reddick as probably the more accurate.
Reddick appealed to men who haven't registered to do so soon so that they will have a chance to see more houses before pledging.
“It’s to their benefit to obtain as wide a scope as possible of the SC fraternity system,” Reddick pointed out.
Registration may be done at the IFC office, 230 SU.
Larry Courtney, interfraternity counselor, also reminded new pledges that they must fill out cards indicating their new status in his office within 24 hours after -pledging. The cards, in compliance with regulations of the National Interfraternity Conference, will provide Courtney’s office with a more accurate picture of SC’s fraternity men.
The final rush list was issued yesterday, Reddick said, and from now on all new names will appear on a master rush list being kept in the IFC office.
The rushing period officially opened Sunday, Feb. 3 and will close on Monday, Feb. 25.

Songfest—possibly the most eagerly-awaited of SC's spring activities—has moved to the Hollywood Bowl, according to student chairman Gordon Jenkins Jr.
Formerly held in Griffith Park's Greek Theater, Songfest has been moved to the larger easier-to-reach Bowl because of its w ide acceptance
by both stfidents, facult>, and ! sional, social. or honorary the general public, and particu- groups may participate, as well larly because of the huge sue- as women’s dorms, cess of last year's performance, which sold out the Greek.
I “We feel that by moving | Songfest to the Hollywood Bowl ! we can offer everyone a bigger and better show,” Jenkins said.
"And in addition, the performers will be able to see the show Themselves, instead of having to wait it out backstage.”
More Than 700
“Anybody who has e\er sung ; in Songfest—and there were more than 700 last year alone -j will appreciate this new eonven-j ience,” he added.
Now in its fourth year—an Infant among college all-student ! shows—Songfest ranks with the best of them. This year's ‘‘new I look'' show w ill be headed by j Jenkins and Sherri Green, co-■ chairman.
| In addition, a committee of 33 ; will take care of all phases of i the show, making it truly an allstudent extravaganza.

Statistics Overwhelming
The Senate GOP leader, currently a U. N. delegate, said Russia has used the veto 79 times against four for France, two by Great Britain, one for China and none by the United States.
Knowland said he believed the Security Council could circumvent the Soviet veto by invoking a U. N. Charter provision dealing with peaceful settlement of disputes. The provision requires a party to a dispute to refrain from voting.
“If the Soviet Union makes a point of order that they are exempt,” Knowland said, “let the point of order be overruled by the Chair and sustained by the other Security Council members. At this point the Soviet Union might decide to walk out as Hungary did last December. So be it.”
