"The situation which has placed at least 36 persons now in prison or on the way is especially alarm- ing because people do not object to the cases or are not even aware of them," he said at a lecture sponsored by the journalism de- partment. Dangerous State This wholesale lack of public awareness has permitted the de- velopment of a state of affairs "even more dangerous than the McCarthy era." Among those now serving terms in federal prisons as a result of refusing to divulge information rather than weaken the constitu- tionalrguarantee of free speech, Dilliard named two educators formerly associated with the Uni- versity: Warren Barrenblatt and H. Chandler Davis. Appearing before the House Un- American Activities Committee in 1954, Barrenblatt, a psychology teaching fellow at the University before joining the faculty as Vas- sar College, submitted as his testi- mony reasons why he need not testify. Questions Irrelevant He declared that the commit- tee's questions to him were ir- relevant and that the hearings violated the First Amendment by constituting virtual "legislative trials," Dilliard explained. Consequently, Barrenblatt was sentenced for contempt of Con- gress, and his sentence was up- held by a 1959 Supreme Court decision. The Court's majority opinion stated the authority of the Un-American Activities Com- mittee was "unassailable" and the balance between the individual and the government needed to be adjusted in favor of the govern- ment. H. Chandler Davis, while an instructor in mathematics at the University in 1954, refused to an- swer questions to the Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee concern- ing Communist activities at Har- vard University when he was a student there. Three months later Davis was indicted by a federal grand jury (and dismissed the next day by the University). He is now serving a prison term in Danbury, Conn. In a third case cited by Dillard, Dr. Willard Uphouse, a Methodist teacher of religious education, was jailed last December for refusing to submit to investigating authori- Mortar Board rim 0 Taps juniors As Members Mortar Board, senior wowien's honorary, last night tapped 21 juniors for membership. Selected on the basis of schol- arship, leadership and service by the national organization were Marilyn Baginsky, Carolyn Beall, Marjorie Bluestein, Susan Deo, Drucilla Dexter, Beverly Ford, Sally Hanson, Jean Hartwig, Mary Johns and Nan Markel. Karen McCann, Janet Miller, Marjorie Moran, Elizabeth Nut- ting, Marianne Phelps, Virginia Sinclair, Jean Spencer, Jane Stick, Tena Tarler, Jane Thompson, and Carol Weinstock were also se- lected. To Organize 'Challenge' An all-campus planning meet- ing for the Challenge program on the University campus will be held at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in the small ballroom of the Union, Hugh Wite- meyer, '61, one of the organizers of Challenge on a local basis, an- nounced. ties the list of guests at his re- ligious camp in New Hampshire. No Evidence "There was no evidence that ac- tivities at the camp were unlawful, but Uphouse declined to furnish the list of guests because he be- lieved it would hurt the constitu- tional rights of free speech and assembly," Dilliard said. A 1959 United States Supreme Court decision upheld the con- tempt of court charge made against Uphouse by the New Hampshire Supreme Court, and he was jailed soon thereafter, Lab Playbill To Produce New Dramas Two original one-act plays written by University students will be presented on the speech de- partment's Laboratory Playbill at 4:10 p.m. today in Trueblood Auditorium at the Frieze Building. The plays by Shannon King, Grad., and Donna Eichenlaub, '60, were prepared for Prof. Kenneth Rowe's English 127 class in play- writing. Miss Eichenlaub's passion play, "The Good Cross," is particularly timely for the Lenten season as it is concerned with "the emo- tional experiences of the man who made the cross of Jesus. The play has its setting in the home of the carpenter, Jeremiah, and is devel- oped around his reactions to the growing awareness of his deed during the day of the Crucifixion." Jeremiah's realization of guilt is marked "by an "element of strangeness" since his grandson, David, who witnesses and tells of the Crucifixion, had been cured .by Jesus only a year before. The second play on this after- noon's playbill, "The Window," by Shannon King, is set in a prison cell. It is a violent play concerned with mental disorder, lust and murder. In this play, Miss King offers a character sketch of "two men who have been cell mates for a long period of time and who have de- sirously watched the warden's daughter from their window for a number of years. "Their response to the presence of this woman beyond 'The Win- dow' draws to a climax as the release of one of the inmates draws near." The other prisoner is serving a life term. The resulting conflict stimulates an Inevitable destruction for the two men.

(Continued on Page 4) Study Says 'U' Students Walk Most, By THOMAS HAYDEN Students walk more than any other Ann Arbor citizen-type, a current traffic study indicates.g The study, to continue through July, is to be a framework for state and city planning engineers in projecting future improvements of local streets and highways. Students generally walk rather than drive, and remain within a limited area, according to Mrs. Helen Leary, who is attempting to interview 2,000 of them. Increase Noted "Michigras has been increasing the number of automobile trips, and widening the geographic area in which students travel," she added. Mrs. Leary is the lone student- interviewer of 15 workers in the area. The others are interviewing residents in the rest of the Ann Arbor - Ypsilanti metropolitan areas. The program, designed by the United States Bureau of Public Roads, is investigating all move- ments of vehicles to and through the area, as well as traffic flow on streets within the cities. City officials and the highway department "are depending on this data for use in planning better street facilities, better traffic management, and better trunkline service," Milton Lamb, highway department traffic tech- nician, believes. Canvassers are checking all main roads entering the area, collecting data regarding trips having origins or destinations out- side of it. Drivers are asked where their trips started, where they will end, all routes followed and the 'stops made within the city. To Check Homes To sample the individual popu- lation, interviewers will check every twelfth home in Ann Arbor, and every eighth home in the Ypsilanti area. Rural areas will also be covered. The interviewer will find what trips were made by every member of a household on the day pre- ceding the interview. City Council acted several weeks ago to participate in the study and to provide necessary funds. Seven- ty per cent of the total cost is borne by the federal government. League Sets 'Wediquetue' The League's annual spring program "Wediquette" will be held at 7 p.m. today in the League Ballroom. Local merchants will display their specialties to help prospective brides, guests and "hopefuls." A style show of spring and summer fashions, including the wardrobe of a bridal party, will be presented at 8 p.m. "struggle of civilizations" with Russia, Donald K. David, vice- chairman of the Ford Foundation Board of Trustees, said yesterday. David delivered the third an- nual Business Leadership Lecture to the Business Administration School. "Too much of our thinking about economic development abroad is a prisoner of the ex- perience gained in postwar Eu- rope." David said that too often we overlooked the fact that in Eu- rope we were dealing with a high- ly developed industrialized soci- ety. Our prime role was to provide the capital and goods which could However the present situation in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and most of Latin America; Is much different, he said. In these areas money and capi- tal equipment are not the im- portant factor. More urgently they need administrators, organ- izers, managers, entrepreneurs. From the standpoint of business administration, "just as we must endow our own students with the capacities for making decisions in a changing environment, so we must endow those from abroad with capacities for organizing and building enterprises in an en- vironment which is both changing and different.
