Office Cat's Gender Gets Prexy's Goat
Willie, a calico kitten and the new senate mascot, made her debut Wednesday night, only to launch an immediate senate investigation to determine gender. Willie emerged from the meeting as “Wilhelmina.”
Wilhelmina was presented to ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne by members of his secretarial staff. The kitten's original housing was in Van Alstyne’s office but due to a grievious error on his part, Wilhelmina misused her sleeping quarters, and intense efforts are being made to find new housing immediately.
It is rumored another investigation is now underway to determine whether the senate is being extravagant with funds used in buying milk for Wilhelmina.

Ex-POW Gets Life Sentence
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 30 (UP) — Ex - Progressive Cpl. Claude J. Batchelor tonight was found guilty of collaborating with ' the Communists while a prisoner of war in Korea and sentenced to life imprisonment.
An eight-man board of officers brought in the verdict as the climax to a month-long trial. The board deliberated only two hours and 14 minutes.
Batchelor was found guilty of all charges considered excepting one that he informed on two fellow prisoners, Sgt. John Fields and Sgt. Billy Clark, after one of them had thrown a -rock at the “Progressives” building a classroom.
The soldier’s mother sobbed audibly when the verdict was read. She put her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek. Batchelor stood stolidly.
“I can take it,” he said.
But when his mother continued sobbing, he said, “Now you’re getting me upset.”
Batchelor, 22, of Kermit, Tex., was the third American to be convicted of collaboration with the Communists during imprisonment. Cpl. Edward Dickenson of Crackers Neck, Va.,* drew a 10-year sentence, while Lt. Col. Harry Fleming, tried at Fort Sheridan, 111., was ousted from the service and forfeited all pay allowances.

WORLD NEWS ROUNDUP
Russia Introduces A-Bomb Ban Plan
From the United Press
UNITED NATIONS, New York—Russia introduced
a new and sweeping disarmament plan in the United Nations yesterday including a drastic arms slash and prohibition of weapons of mass destruction such as the A-bomb.
Soviet Chief Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky offered the plan at the end of a one hour and 41 minute speech in the General Assembly.
US Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., said in a statement issued immediately after the meeting:
“The United States will consider this proposal objectively and with the sincere hope that it will prove to be a real step toward a comprehensive, effective and workable disarmament.”
The plan seems to mark an advance over the previous Soviet position, Lodge said. But he warned the test of good faith was still to come.
British Chief Delegate Selwyn Lloyd, due to speak in assembly debate tomorrow, postponed his speech until Monday so he could consult hi.' government on the Russian plan.
Vishinsky swept over the whole range of world problems in laying down the Kremlin’s policy line for the current Ninth UN Annual Assembly.
He hammered away at the theme of “peaceful co-existence,” accused the U. S. and its allies of fomenting war, and said peaceful settlement of all world problems is possible.
Then he charged that the U. S., though it has launched an “atoms for peace” plan, still bases its whole policy on force, including the use of atomic weapons.
Concluding, he dramatically offered his government’s plan for “reduction of armaments and the prohibition of atomic, hydrogen, and other types of weapons of mass destruction.”

ROME—Premier Mario Scelba last night won a vote
of confidence in the Italian Chamber of Deputies over his government’s handling of the Wilma Montesi sex-and-drug scandal.
The official vote was 294 to 264, with seven abstentions.
The vote gave the anti-Communist premier a clean-sweep victory over Communists, leftwing Socialists and extreme rightwingers who were trying to bring down his government in the controversy over the scandal.
Only last Saturday, Scelba won a similar vote of confidence in the Italian Senate by a vote of 114 to 97.
Today’s government victory came after Scelba told the lower house the government was not to blame for alleged “hushing up” of the circumstances surrounding the mysterious death of Miss Montesi, a Roman party girl, in May, 1953.
Two persons, including the son of former Italian Foreign Minister Attilio Piccioni, have been arrested in connection with the death of Miss Montesi after a party at the hunting lodge of a self-styled nobleman.
RENO, Nev.—Attorney General William Mathews
ruled that Nevada voters, and not Republican Governor Charles Russell, will decide who is to be the successor to veteran Democrat Pat McCarran in the U. S. Senate.
McCarran died Tuesday night of a heart attack after making a speech before a Democratic campaign rally at Hawthorne, 150 miles south of here.
The Attorney General, however, advised the Governor that he has the right to make a temporary appointment of a Senator who will serve until Jan. 3, 1955.
• Russell has asked the Attorney General to rule on whether he had the right to appoint McCarran’s successor, or whether the vacancy should be filled at the polls on Nov. 2.
National leaders of both parties have been watching the Nevada situation intently because of the growing battle over control of the Upper House in the November elections. McCarran’s death left the Senate with 46 Democrats, 48 Republicans and one Independent.
WASHINGTON—Sen. Ester Kefauver (D-Tenn.) charged that one of the companies participating in the proposed Dixon-Yates Atomic Power Contract may have been guilty of “direct violation” of the Holding Company Act.
Kefauver made the charge before the Senate Anti-Monopoly Subcommittee during testimony by J. D. Stietenroth, ousted secretary-treasurer of the Mississippi Power & Light Co. For the second straight day, Stietenroth broke down and wept on the witness stand.

This year the council essentially is to work in close conjunction with department heads in an effort to reach the students through this medium.

It’s that Westwood school again and this time they’re howling about last year’s yearbook. It hasn’t been delivered yet!

“When a lot of people are involved in something like this,” the editor went on, “these things will happen.”
