Under These
Portals Pass . , .
EAST LANSING, Mich., UP\ —
Michigan State University has
given up trying to charge parking
fees for low slung foreign sports
cars.
MSU officials were aghast
when they discovered the foreign
jobs were sneaking in free under
the gates of toll parking lots. They
promised immediate changes.
But Richard Bernitt, MSU di
rector of public safety, said a
check showed there were only
about half a dozen of the low
cars among the 6.675 registered
on the campus.
“It wouldn’t be worth the ex
pense to change the gates,” he
said.
Dog-Gone Driver!

tne sidewalks here when they saw
a car apparently being driven by
a dog. The car traveled 50 yards,
brushed against a bus and ran
into a wall. An Alsatian sat be
hind the wheel.
The owner, Robert Griffin, 46,
told Magistrate’s court Friday he
parked the car and left the dog
inside. He added: “He must have
seen another dog in the street and
jumped, knocking off the brake.”

Allen Dulles
Defends Agency Policies
NEW YORK, M — Allen W.
Dulles, director of the Central In
telligence Agency, says, “We are
far from perfect, but we are im
proving.”
Dulles defended the agency
against criticism that it had failed
to alert Washington about the
impending Suez and Iraqi crisis.
“Sometimes — not always —
our record is much better than
the press would have you believe,
he claimed.
Dulles’ remarks on this issue
were different from those in an
advance press release of his text,
issued by his office.
The advance release read that
the agency’s record was sometimes
much better than “we can pub
licly advertise.” He omitted these
four words from his delivery and
substituted the reference to the
press.

Ped Planes
Cause Concern
For Wuchius
TAIPEI, Formosa, (#> — Four
Communist planes flew over the
tiny Wuchiu Islands yesterday,
raising speculation on Formosa
that the Reds might try to seize
those Nationalist outposts mid
way between Quemoy and JVlatsu
to offset their failure to invade
Quemoy.
The Wuchius lie in the Formosa
Strait 15 miles from the main
land, 80 miles from Formosa. One
of the two islands, Wuchiu, is 128
acres, and the other, Little Wu
chiu, is 57.6 acres.
The Chinese Nationalists use
them as a lookout post.
Nationalist defense ministry
said four Red planes circled over
the Wuchius for 26 minutes in
midmorning, then returned to
the mainland.
Observers on Formosa thought
the Reds might calculate they
could capture the islands with rel
ative ease, then trumpet their vic
tory as the first step toward their
long-promised capture of For
mosa.
The Nationalists have kept
quiet about their defenses on the
Wuchius. There is no 'reason to
believe U. S. forces would inter
vene in fighting there.
