McCarthy's
Probe Starts
Senate Row,
Lodge Demands
Closed Hearings
WASHINGTON -(p)- A shout-
ing row broke out in the Senate
last night over Senator McCarthy's
chargesofrCommunism in the
State Department, and off the
Senate floor Senator Lodge (R-
Mass.) demanded closed hearings
on further testimony in the Owen
Lattimore case.
"I would like to take this show
off the road," Lodge said, alluding
.! to the airing of bitter charges and
counter charges at public hearings
fore a Senate investigating com-
mittee.
"I DON'T SEE how we can get
A at the truth in this matter other-
wise."
Lodge and other Republicans
have contended that witnesses in
the Lattimore case should be
quizzed behind closed doors to pre-
vent the smearing of innocent per-
sons.
However, the majority of the
investigating committee has rul-
ed against taking any more tes-
* timony in the Lattimore affair
behind closed doors.
Lattimore wound up two days of
testimony and cross-examination
on the witness stand before the
committee today, and was in-
structed to stand by for possible
further questioning.
On the Senate floor, vice presi-
dent Barkley ordered Democratic
Leader Lucas to sit down after
the Republican floor leader. Sena-
tor Wherry, angrily accused Lucas
of calling McCarthy "a liar."
Then the furore broke in ear-
nest.' One Senator after another
leaped into the battle over the
validity of McCarthy's charges,
and at one point Senator Neely
(D-W.Va) shouted:
"If McCarthy's charges are not
true, then those responsible for
making them ought to be scourged
from the society of decent men
and .women."

U
Opens Natural
Resources School
By PAUL BRENTLINGER
A School of Natural Resources, designed to carry on teaching
and research in all phases of man's natural environment, will be
established at the University in the fall.
First of its kind in the world, the new school will replace the
present School of Forestry and Conservation. Its activities will ex-
tend to the consideration of "everything which nature has placed on,
under and over the earth, in their relation to man," according to
President Ruthven.
HE ANNOUNCED PLANS for the new school yesterday, and
pointed out that its operation wil be aided substantially by a
-__ $100,000 grant accepted by the Re-
SL To Start
'U' Lecture
LawStudy
Student Legislature set in mo-
tion machinery to study and re-
view the tniversity by-laws ef-
fecting the bringing to campus of
speakers by student organizations
in its first meeting last night since
spring elections.
The action came as a result of
a report on Tuesday's meeting be-
tween the SL's cabinet and the
University Lecture Committee,
which discussed the Lecture Com-
mittee's recent refusal to allow
Communist Herbert J. Phillips to
debate in, a University building.

A LETTER, will be delivered to
President Ruthven tomorrow re-
questing that he appoint a stu-
dent-faculty-administration com-
mittee to not only study the by-
laws but also with authority to
recommend changes in them to
the Board of Regents.
Should President Ruthven be
unable to act on the request
within the next few days the
SL's Cabinet will contact the
University Senate, the American
Association of University Pro-
fessors or other interested fac-
ulty members and work with
them in drafting recommenda-
tions for changes in the by-
laws.
In any case, the recommenda-
tions formed will be presented to
the May 20 Regents meeting for
their consideration.
gents last June from the Charles
Lathrop Pack Forestry Founda-
tion.
First dean of the natural re-
sources school will be Samuel T.
Dana, who has served as dean of
the Forestry school since its
founding in 1921. The new
school will begin operations in
quarters now occupied by the
forestry school.
An additional faculty member,
the Pack Professor ofconserva-
tion, wil develop comprehensive
graduate and undergraduate pro-
grams in the conservation of na-
tural resources along broader
lines than those followed in con-
ventional forestry training.
* * *
THE NATURAL RESOURCES
school will continue to offer pr'o-
fessional education in forestry,
wood technology, wildlife manage-
ment and fishery management,
according to Dean Dana.
In addition, non-profession
programs dealing with these and
other resources, such as soils,
minerals and waters, will be of-
fered. Other programs will pro-
vide for the study of land-use
planning and general conserva-
tion.
President Ruthven also an-
nounced the acceptance of an-
other Pack Foundation grant
which will provide $10,000 a year
for three years for research.
"THIS RESEARCH will be
aimed at the broad problems of
conservation, though we can't de-
fine its specific nature now," he
said.
Establishment of the school
"recognizes the importance of a
better understanding of man's re-
lation to his environment and his
dependence upon the earth's life-
supporting natural resources,"
Randolph G. Pack, president of
the Pack Foundation, declared.
Final Returns
For Primary
Races Listed
Most Contests
Already Decided
By The Associated Press
Final election returns in the
primary races in Florida, Ohio,'
Alabama and Indiana lined up
yesterday with most contests de--
cided.
Florida 0.0
Rep. George Smathers flew back.
to Washington yesterday as late
returns piled higher the majority
of votes by which he ousted Claude
Pepper from the Senate and
changed the political complexion
of Florida.
Ohio .. .
State Auditor Joseph T. Fer-
guson walked away from a field
of six other hopefuls to win the
Democratic Senate nomination in
Ohio.
Gov. Frank J. Lausche swamped
two opponents for the Democratic
renomination without campaign-
ing, and state treasurerDon H.
Ebright won the GOP gubernator-
ial nomination handily over two
others.
Alabama . .
Regular Democrats must await a
runoff primary May 30 to see
whether their attempt to wrest
Alabama party machinery control
from rebel State Righters will suc-
ceed.
This battle, which may decide
how Alabama's 11 electoral votes
go in 1952, is for the 72 places
on the state Democratic executive
committee.
Returns rom the primaries show-
ed regular Democrats leading for
38 seats, States Righters for 33
and one going to a man commit-
ted to neither.
Many of the leaders, however,
are short of a majority in their
districts and must engage in the
May 30 runoff.

A strong primary vote has as-
sured Indiana's 7 Democrat and
4 Republican incumbents of their
places on the November ballot.
IFC Quizzes
Affiliates on
Discrimination
In an effort to determine atti-
tudes of fraternity men toward
discrimination and chapter house
life, the Interfraternity Council
has administered questionnaires
during the past few weeks to more
than 2000 affiliated men.
With most of the survey blanks
now turned in to Andrew Kapos,
Grad. who devised the poll, ques-
tions have been raised,both inside
and outside fraternity circles as to
the validity of the survey.
Kapos, a doctoral candidate in
social-psychology is working un-
der the direction of Prof. Theo-
dore Newcombe of the social-psy-
chology department and Prof.
Ronald Lippitt of the Survey Re-
search Center.
The poll will be used by Kapos
as the basis for a doctoral diser-
tation.
Prof. Newcombe expressed the
view that the polling methods be-
ing used were the best known to
survey science, and that the valid-
ity of the questions was unques-
tionable.
Results of the poll will not be
available until early summer due
to technical problems in tabula-,
tion and analysis.

'Bill ofRights'
Campus leaders will hold an
open meeting at 4 p.m. today at
the Union to discuss proposed re-
visions to the National Student As-
sociation's "S t u d e n t Bill of
Rights," which may have impor-
tant bearing on campus speakers
bans.
The meeting will concern sev-
eral important additions to the
Bill, according to Dorianne Zipper-
stein, chairman of the NSA com-
mittee of the Student Legislature.
* * *
ALTHOUGH a "Bill of Rights"
has already been compiled, it has
come to be considered inadequate,
in that a larger philosophical
framework was needed as a base,
said Miss Zipperstein.
Recent work has concerned this
framework, and all of the sec-
tions except that on co-curricu-
lar activities are virtually com-
pleted now. In this area of "co-
curricular activities" fall such
items as student-invited-speakers
and student publications.
CHARLOTTE MATTHEWS, '52,

tor; Virginia Byers, '52, of Detroit,
will be in charge of senior pic-
tures and Margaret Padden, '52,

ley Weinberger, '52, of Troy, O.,

SAN FRANCISCO-(YP)-A Fed-<
eral Grand Jury yesterday began
secret investigation of asserted
war-time Communist espionage at
the University of California.
Government officials declined;
all information about the probe.
U.S. attorney Frank Hennessy
would say only that the grand
jury was questioning witnesses
who had been subpoenaed at spe-
cial request of the attorney gen-
eral in Washington.
* -* *
BUT WITNESSES who asked
that their names be withheld said
they had been questioned about
Joseph Weinberg, a former lec-
turing physicist at the University
of California.
Weinberg was accused in a
formal report of the House Un-
American Activities Committee
in September, 1949 of having
disclosed atomic bomb secrets
to a Conmnunist spy. At that
time he was designated merely
as "Scientist X," but later he
was identified by the commit-
tee. He denied the charges..
Last October the Un-American
Activities Committee asked the
JusticeDepartment to ptosecute
Weinberg on perjury charges. It
accused him of falsely denying to
the committee under oath that he
was acquainted with two Commu-
nist Party functionaries, of lying
about his own membership in the
Party and about attending meet-
ings of the Young Communist
League.
Weinberg, who had left the Uni-
versity of California campus at
Berkely to become a professor of
physics at the University of Minn-
esota, said it was a case of mis-
taken identity.
Cigarette Tax
Cut Approved
WASHINGTON-(R)-A 2 1/10
cents a pack slash in the federal
tax on "economy brand" cigar-
ettes-to bring back 12 cents a
pack smokes-was approved by the
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee yesterday, on a narrow 13 to
12 vote.
This boosted the tentatively ap-
proved excise cuts above the bil-
lion-dollar mark,
The Treasury estimated that, if
the cigarette action finally be-
comes law, "economy" cigarettes
may capture about 25 per cent
of the cigarette market and smok-
ers may pay $90,000,000 less in
taxes a year.
THE TWO Republicans, not
slated for the special panel, are
veteran investigators. They had
solid GOP backing.
The tie vote, 35-35, came on
the question of substituting the
inquiry by a special committee
named by Barkley for the orig-
inal resolution by Senator Ke-
fauver (D-Tenn) for a study by
the judiciary committee. Don-
nell and Ferguson are on the
latter group.
Earlier, on a -strict party line
vote, 39-3i1Republicans lost in an
effort to permit them to pick their
own: members for the investigat-
ing committee.
THE compromise proposal for a
special committee was advanced
weeks ago by Democratic leader
Lucas (Ill) as a means to head off
a fight between the Judiciary and
Commerce Committees over which
should do the investigating. Each
had plans for such a study.
Action came somewhat un-
pectedly late in the day after it
had appeared for a time that
the long-delayed issue would be
passed over again.
Agreement had been reached to
sidetrack the current debate on
foreign aid briefly to get it out of
the way.
THE discussion, however, turn-
ed into a long quarrel with Demo-
crats and Republicans trading
charges of political stalling on the
subject of crime.
The Republicans have been
making suggestions that such
an inquiry, aimed in part at
any influence organized crime
has on local law enforcement,
might turn up ties between De-
mocratic big city machines and
the underworld. Democrats re-
plied that Republicans them-
selves were stalling in efforts to
turn the inquiry into a political
sounding board.
The row went on so long that
Chairman Connally (D-Tex) of
the Foreign Relations Committee
called the foreign aid measure
back before the House, apparent-
ly dooming the investigation for
the time. A new agreement was
reached for a vote, however, and
it came quickly.
