Wait, could that be Mrs. Wayne

the plate?

Berlin, the Congo and Latin
America remain tension spots in
the multi-ringed circus of world
tensions this week with East Ber-
lin strengthening its wall, another
mutiny in the Congo and general
strikes in the Dominican Republic.
United States and East German
troops faced each other Sunday
whenthe communist section of the
city mtived workers up to construct
more of the 25-mile monument to
, tyranny.
The workers closed off a portion
of the Fredrichstrasse check point.
The workers built a type of struc-
ture that will allow a big- bus to
pass through, but the structure
will trap any tanks attempting en-
trance. While the construction was
continuing, the U.S. forces in Ber-
lin moved two machine guns and a
recoilless rifle into position.
In the meantime, attention has
been focusing on the'autobahn. The
United States, in its assertion of
its rights to use the access route
to Berlin, has had a policy of fre-
quent rotation of the Berlin garri-
son. Last week one convoy had its
last increment delayed at Helm-
stedt, the city at the end of the
communist stretch of road, while
corrections were made in the con-
voy papers. President Kennedy, ,in
his interview with the editor of.
Pravda last week focused • even
more attention on the Autobahn by
suggesting that the route be put
under some form of international
control. Red sources generally con-
demned the ideas as an insult to
East German sovereignty.
The Congo
Katanga province in the Congo,
in asserting its independence from
the rest of the Congolese nation;
continued part' of its series of mu-
tinies by capturing 10 United Na-
tions soldiers Sunday. These sol-
diers were taken during a clash
that resulted when the Congolese
soldiers attempted to interfere with
an African woman at the airport.
Several Congolese were,, killed in
the fray. >\ .
Irish diplomat''Connor O'Brien,
formerly in charge of the UN ac-
tion in Katanga, was bitter in his
denunciation of Western European
nations for forcing his resignation
from the post. He claimed that
non-support and outright opposi-
tion to U.N. activities in their at-
tempts to reunify the C<jjigo had
made his position untenable.
Latin America
The Dominican president is op-
been torn with general strikes and
demonstrations for the past week
in an attempt to oust the president
of this unstable government,.
The Dominican pyesiden is op-
posed mostly because he was the
vice president under the old Tru-
jillo regime.
One of the strongest forces of
opposition has been the commun-
ist-oriented 14th of June Move-
ment. This party takes its name
from the date when Castro at-
tempted an invasion of the Domini-
can Republic.
So' far, the opposition has not
been content with any suggestion
other than the complete ouster of
the president. They have turned
down a proposal for the govern-
ment to be ruled by a junta com-
posed of military officers and the
president.
of dolls from such countries as
England, France, Spain and Moroc-
co. Her favorite dolls are from
Stratford-on-Avon in England.
They are portrait dolls of Henry
VIII and Elizabeth#!. j
Writing Hobby
Writing has gained Mrs. Robbins
much recognition. Several of her
articles and poems have been pub-
lished by the Baylor Press and
"Baptist Student." Writing plays,
though, is her favorite form of
writing. "Promise of Tomorrow,"
a Christmas play, has been present-
ed most often of all. One of the
Baylor theater groups has present-
ed two of her plays and Ouachita
College has presented one. Also,
the University Baptist Church pre-
sented a musical comedy, "Up a
Tree," by Mrs. Robbins.
Anniversauy,
Sunday marked Mr. and Mrs.
Robbins' one month wedding anni-
versary. Mr. Robbins is a student
at Southwestern Baptist Seminary^'
and a newsman at KXOL. Before
coming to Texas, he was a teacher
at Riverside Military Academy in
Georgia.
Mrs. Robbins, who is originally
from Gladewater, is a member of
the American Association of Uni-
versity Professors, Alpha Chi, Sig-
ma Tau Delta and Phi Gamma Mu.

Modern Library Offers
Abundance of Materials
"Texas Wesleyan has the most size and range of the library. Thtse

not realize that he had the fossil
until he returned to Fort Worth.
He picked tip the rock, which was
thrown out in a lava flow, to show
to his science survey class.
Other fossils appear on the rock,
and Mr. Fonville states that one
of th^se is probably a cephalopod,
a worm which fed on trilobites.
These forms appeared on earth
about 550 million years ago, during
the Cambrian period of the Paleo-
zoric Era. The level of rock in
which it was found was two feet
thick.*
