By JOHN WEILERf The threat of Communism from hout exists only because the eat from within made it pos- te," Karl Prussion, former Fed- I Bureau ofuInvestigation un- cover agent, said yesterday. russion told the University Lpter of the Young Americans Freedom that in his 26 years h the Communists he saw them deceit and legal or illegal ans in attempting to achieve ir goals. step Attends on erence Prof. Samuel D, Estep of the aw School is representing the niversity at the International elecommunications Union Extra- dinary Conference on Space Fre- lency and Radio Astronomy Al- cations. The conference is being held in eneva, Switzerland and got un- erway Monday, Oct. 7. "This conference is a key meet- g in the field of space research," rof. Estep said. UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT CCONCERT S a real old new-fashioned Hootenanny NEXT SUNDAY 7:30 UofD Memorial Bldg. Bob Gibson : He explained that each member was prepared to make any sac- rifice necessary to carry out the party's mandate. Prussion claimed that the civil rights actions in the South in many cases have been incited by Communists. The Communists have for many years infiltrated organizations and caused them to become violent, Prussion said, add- ing that when police have had to intervene the Communists have blamed the police for brutality. 45,000 Communists Prussian claimed that although there are only 15,000 registered members of the Communist Party, in reality there are some 45,000 Communists in the United States right now. These people are not new mem- bers of the party but have in many cases been active for 20-30 years, he said. Their identities are hidden and they are rigidly controlled to work for Communist goals, Prus- sion added. He claimed that these people are leaders in the nation today and that for this reason their power should not be under- estimated. He said that there are 30,000 more members than are registered because a certain number have withdrawn from recognition when the Smith Act was passed and another large group have never been cell members. Knew of Castro Prussion said he knew as early as 1950 that Cuban Premier Fidel Castro was a Communist, when the party set up an office in New York. Through cell contacts, the party was able to build a very favorable image of Castro in the United States, he said. When Cas- tro did announcehe was a Com- munist, this image had already been established. As another example of alleged Communist methods here, Prus- sion said that when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev visited the United States, the American press reported that the people of this country were very glad to wel- come the leader of the Soviet Union. The Communists were told to appear each time Khrushchev was in public, to give the press the idea that the people of the United States were for him, Prussion said. Prussion also spoke about the time when he was "brought to F Dial 2-6264 Ending Today Robert Stock THE CARETAKERS" STARTS SATURDAY 90 H~ ME~MM AN LOREN SCHELL L MARCH 1 NER THE EMNED ofLON KARL PRUSSION ... the threat without the surface" in 1959. He appeared before the House Committee on Un-American Activities when sub- poenaed. Prussion described the actions he saw in the hearing as greatly Communistic inspired. Spectators antagonized the police to such an extent that they were forced to come in and drag the unruly in- dividuals out of the court, he said. This committee, "the most im- portant committee of the House and doing one of the most impor- tant political jobs in America to- day," should be respected, rather than treated in such a manner, Prussion concluded. Cites Increases In Legal Action The current boom in antitrust action will continue, Prof. S. Chesterfield Oppenheim of the Law School said yesterday. However, Prof. Oppenheim warned that "efforts to attack big business just because it is big may well boomerang on the instiga- tors." "Americans realize this and their distrust of concentrated eco- nomic power is overborne by their recognition of the beneficial re- sults of big enterprises," he added. "Still, there are many who would increase the scope of antitrust legislation beyond its present boundaries which are aimed at curbing such abuses as agreements among competitors for price fix- ing, the division of markets and boycotting," Prof. Oppenheim said. Some economists urge the curb- ing of the growing oligopolies in American business, Prof. Oppen- heim commented. These economists advocate harsh means of dismantling oligopolies when there is proof of what they call "unreasonable market power," he said. "However, statutory limits on business size or market shares would substitute governmental economic planning and affirmative regulation for private managerial decision-making," he said. "But the informed citizenry still regard bigness as essential a part of our economy as antitrust policy itself," Prof. Oppenheim said. Census Tells Of Religion On Campus By THOMAS COPI The religious census taken by the Office of Religious Affairs during registration shows that 11,379 persons out of 23,955 people who were included in the census had no religious preference. "Most of the people who said no preference,' simply left the question blank," C. Gray Austin, assistant co-ordinator of religious affairs at the University, said yes- terday. The number of 11,379 represents nearly half of the 23,955 people who were included in the census. Although this number is slightly higher than in previous years, it is comparable. Austin said that "We assume when the people leave the religious preference question blank, they mean no preference. However," he added, "the people may actually have some preference but just don't list it. You can read into this almost anything you want." The number of "no preferences" casts some doubt onto the ac- curacy of the religious census, and Austin said that "the census is never very accurate." Many people list "no preference" because they don't want to be bothered by religious organizations on campus, and others because they feel that they may be dis- criminated against because of their religion if they do put their actual preference down.. There are also those who are simply against putting their re- ligious preference down anywhere if they don't know how the in- formation will be used. Also, if a person is rushing through regis- tration, he usually leaves every- thing blank that he doesn't have to fill out in order to save time. Actually, the census is taken for statistical purposes only, and Austin says, "This is just one of the kinds of records the University keeps . . . one of the bits of in- formation they have on hand." Under "Other Religious Groups" the census listed those such as Deist, Humanist, Jehovah's Wit- ness, Jain and Sikh. The "others" numbered 169. Across Campus The deadline for the home- coming display petitions has been extended to 2-4 p.m. today. Pep Rally-. There will be an all-campus pep rally on the diag tonight from 8 untill 10, sponsored by IFC and the State Street Fraternities. The purpose of the rally will be to stir up as much spirit as possible for the Michigan State game to- morrow. Colloquium . . Prof. E. Lowel Kelly of the psy- chology department will speak at 4:15 p.m. today in Aud. B to the psychology colloquiem on "The Selection of Peace Corps Volun- teers." Coffee will be served at 3:15 p.m. in 3417 Mason Hall. Statistics Show Increases In Class Size Significant (Continued from Page 1) more, 28.70; junior and senior, 23.55; graduate (MA), 12.52. Another almost universal trend is that thesmallest classes, on the average, are taught by profes- sors and the largest by instruc- tors and teaching fellows. This trend is not surprising, since pro- fessors tend to teach the more ad- yanced courses and the larger lecture courses are handled by teaching fellows and instructors. Illustrating this trend, the fall 1962-63 figures for average class sizes taught by professors was 17.41, while the figures for in- structors and teaching fellows were 21.94 and 21.29, respectively. Overall Figure The average class size for all ranks of faculty was 19.15. Class size also varies widely among the schools and colleges. The report says that this is "neith- er unexpected nor undesirable." Since different types of subject matter require different types of teaching methods, it is easy to see how this diversity might come about. Changes in teaching methods had a very great effect upon the average class size. Law School Case The report cites an example in the Law School where in 1961-62 a particular one hour course in problems and research was taught as a single hour of private con- sultation each week. Each con- Board Asks Bonding Vote For Schools The Ann Arbor Board of Educa- tion has indicated that it will press for a vote to obtain further bonding authority before the end of the year. This will be necessary if Ann Arbor's school district is to have the bonds for continued projects this year. At its last meeting, the Board of Education repeated that it "cannot afford to ignore the need for additional facilities in the school system if it, hopes to keep up with the community's expand- ing studentpopulation." A bond issue now is necessary because of the defeat, last May, of a $6 million bond issue. The pro- posed new bond issue is estimated to be in the range of $2.5 million. Superintendent Jack Elzay's ex- pansion proposals include plans for a third senior high school and a fourth junior high school, gen- eral classroom expansion, library improvements and specialty rooms. The bond issue is to cover a three year period. University Players Dept. of Speech MOLIERE'S wonderful comedy sultation was counted as a single: class of one student each. The average class size for 1961-62 in the Law School was 28.23. In the fall of 1962-63, the meth- od was changed to a group dis- cussion, with 50 students in each section. The average class size in the Law School rose sharply to 58.71. Among the schools and colleges, the Law School's average of 58.71 is highest. Second high is the den- tal school with 30.53. Low on the list is the School of Social Work at 4.30. The natural resources school is second low with 7.35 students per class. The College ofsLitera- ture, Science and the Arts' aver- age class size is 21.89. High in LSA for class size is the history of art department, with its large lectures, at 46.77. Anthro- pology is second with 37.18.

Memorial Building Box Office Our Next Concert DICK GREGORY and Company Saturday, Nov. 23 UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT CONCERTS THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES SALUTE: WARREN ROSKE Whether a simple voice circuit for a small trunk line, or a complex high-speed data circuit for the Strategic Air Command, Northwestern Bell Engineer Warren Roske gets the nod. Warren (B.S.I.E., 1959), and the three engineers who work under him, design telephone facilities for private line customers. On earlier assignments, Warren engineered communica- tion lines through the famed Dakota Black Hills, helped in the Mechanized Teletypewriter cutover in Sioux Falls, S. D., and contributed a unique application of statistics to a Plant Engineering study. But Warren's greatest success has come in the Trans- mission field where, after only seven months, he was pro- moted to his supervisory engineering position. Like many young engineers, 'Warren is impatient to make things happen for his company and himself. There are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.
