Harold Haugh, associate profes-
sor of voice in the School of Mu-
sic, will give the first faculty re-
cital of the semester at 4:15 to-
morrow, in Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
Prof Haugh, who will be ac-
companied by Mrs. Ava Comn,
will sing a program of tenor works
by Mozart, Rossini, Respighi,
Bizet, and Hugo Wolf. Also includ-
ed in the concert will be two groups
of English songs.
AMONG THE selections sched-
uled are "Solo Contata," by Mo-
zart; "Ecco Ridente," from "The
Barber of Seville," by Rossini; and
the "Flower Song" from "Car-
men," by Bizet.
Prof. Haugh, who has sung
with the Mendelssohn Choir,
and the Bach Circle of Pitts-
burgh, was featured last semes-
ter as tenor soloist with the
Philadelphia Orchestra in the
May Festival performance of
Gomer Jones' "Gloria." Previ-
fously, Prof. Haugh performed
for the Bach Festival at Bald-
win-Wallace, and with the
Swedish Choral Society of Chi-
cago.
Appearing with the University
Choir last December, Prof. Haugh
gave the American premiere of
Benjamin Britten's "Saint Nico-
la, and last March he sang the
tenor solo part in Mahler's "Song
of the Earth" with the University
of Michigan Symphony Orches-
tra.
* * *
PROF. HAUGH came to the
University in the fall of 1948 from
Oberlin Conservatory of Music. A
native of. Cleveland, he obtained
his bachelor of arts degree from
Hiram College, and was ordained
in the Church of Christ (Disciple).
He later attended the Union Theo-
logical Seminary in New York City,
where he received the degree of
bachelor of divinity, and master of
sacred music.
The concert will be open to the
public without charge.
Meller, Owen
Will Observe
hopin s Death
Chopin's two piano concertos
will be performed at 8:30 Monday,
in Hill Auditorium, by Prof. Misha
Meller and Mrs. Marian Owen, of
the music school, in a program
commemorating the hundredth
anniversary of the composer's
death.
Prof. Meller will play the "Con-
certo No. 1 in E minor," and Mrs.
Owen will be the soloist in the
"Concerto No. 2 in F minor."
* * *
ALSO ON THE program is an
address about the composer by the
Hon. Tadeusz Frymar, acting con-
sul general of Poland in Detroit.
"The concertos are almost twins
in their general design," according
to Prof. Meller.
"The initial movements pro-
ceed with an economy of statement
and conviction, while the middle
movements are in Chopin's en-
chanting 'Nocturne' mood. And
the last movements are mixtures of
gad dance rhythms and infectious
Polish melodies," he said.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is
a background report on the Commu-
nist Conspiracy trial by a Daily staf-
fer. who spent several days covering
the trial.)
By ROMA LIPSKY
Thirty-nine weeks ago the Com-
munist Conspiracy trial-perhaps
the longest Federal Criminal Case
in history-began in New York's
sky-scraper Federal Court Build-
ing.
The case, which piled up a rec-
ord of more than 9 million words
and 20,000 pages of testimony,
ended yesterday afternoon with a
jury verdict finding each of the 11
defendants guilty.
NEXT STEP for the defendants
will be a series of appeals leading,
they hope, to a Supreme Court de-
cision declaring the Smith Act un-
constitutional. It is this act which
served as the basis of the case.
The Act declares that "it shall
be unlawful for any person to
knowingly or wilfully advocate,
abet, advise or teach" overthrow
of the government by force or
violence.
The Smith Act was originally
passed in 1940; its purpose at that
time being to protect the Govern-
ment during a period of emer-
gency. It was necessitated by the
fact that, although technically,
we were still a neutral country;
Faculty Wary
Of Comment
On Red Trial
With two exceptions, a cross
section of University faculty mem-
bers questioned yesterday on the
conviction of the Communist
leaders, declined comment.
The general feeling of the group
was that they didn't have the nec-
essary specialized knowledge to
speak on such a "momentous"
case.
- Comments came from Prof.
John F. Shepard of the psychology
department and Prof. Shorey Pet-
erson of the economics depart-
ment.
Prof. Shepard scored the trial
as "pretty poor legal proceedings"
and said that the government was
getting on "mighty muddy
ground" in prosecuting men "not
for acts but for ideas."
Prof. Peterson said only that he
was "pleased at the treatment of
the lawyers."

in actuality we had
begun aid to the allies.
* * *

PART OF THE reason for the
length of the trial were defense
claims at the outset that New York
jury lists were drawn up on a dis-
criminatory basis giving Negroes
and other minority groups little
chance of getting on a jury.
As a result, two months were
consumed before 12 jurors were
finally selected.
Then last August, during the
28th week of the trial, the defense
introduced a motion to disqualify
theatrical producer Russell Janey
from further jury duty on the
grounds that in a speech made
three weeks before the start of the
trial, Janey called for a "war to
the death against communism."
Judge Harold Medina denied the
motion. "
MEDINA'S frequent promise
that the defense lawyers "would
be dealt with at the conclusion of
the trial" for their courtroom be-
havior was fulfilled as the five
lawyers were sentenced to terms
ranging from 30 days to six
months.
Harry Sachen, defense lawyer
whom Medina earlier in the trial
cited as having made "some of
the most contemptuous remarks
ever heard in a courtroom" de-
clared yesterday that his sen-
tence was a small price to pay
"in the cause of liberty."
The Judge then interrupted. "It
is not the price of liberty, but of
misbehavior," he said.
THE GOVERNMENT'S case
against the 11 defendants is that
in 1945 they re-organized the
Communist party along violent
lines, advocating and teaching the
desirability of overthrowing the
government.
To substantiate this claim,
Prosecuting Attorney John F. X.
McGohey introduced many
books on Communist strategy
and tactics into evidence.
The defendants denied seeking
power through revolution and de-
scribed themselves as politicians
working within the framework of
government for a new socialistic
nation of peace and plenty.

Colorful reminders of the Field-
ing H. Yost era at the University
fill the current display at the
Michigan Historical Collections in
the Rackham Building.
The Yost period is reviewed in
photos, cartoons, programs and
trophies.
* * *
THE FAMOUS "Hurry Up" Yost
was coach and athletic director at

the University from 1901 to 1940.
His powerful "point a minute"
teams at the turn of the century
set the stage for the University's
present renown as one of the na-
tion's football powers.
A picture of the 1902 team
that scored 644 points while
holding opponents to 12 is a part
of the exhibit. The fame that
came to Yost is depicted by a

NO BITING ALLOWED:
Dirty Work Not Strange
To Former Tugs-of-War

W. F. "BULL" HALSEY EUGENE TATOM
Fleet Admiral Halsey is shown as he started testimony in favor
of the Navy in its campaign against "inadequate" defense plans.
But up popped Commander Tatom, a navy aeronautics bureau
official who poo-pooed the atom bomb, one of the key items in the
House investigation. Tatom said that a man could stand at one
end of Washington National Airport and come through an atom
explosion at the other end "without serious injury."
NOT ENOUGH MEN:

By JOHN P. DAVIES
"Kicking, biting and slugging
are barred."
This warning to participants in
the 1925 Frosh-soph tug of war,
appearing in The Daily, was ap-
parently not out of place.
IN THOSE DAYS, the teams
were really out to win, witnesses
say. And what's more, they add,
there were crowds two to three
times the size of the 1949 one to
watch them do it.
One particularly spirited year,
an observer reports, one of the
teams hitched their end of the
rope to a team of hefty horses,
over the ridge of the hill so the
other side wouldn't see them.
The opposing side, reportedly
unaware of the horses, hitched
their end to a tractor. They say
the rope snapped.
* * *
A 1929 DAILY reports another
kind of battle between the classes.
It seems that the team which car-
ries the rope to the site of the

event gets the dry end of the
rope, the other end getting wet by
being dragged across the Huron.
This particular year, the sophs
had gotten possession of the
rope and were about to drag it
across the Huron to the frosh
when the frosh came up with a
rope of their own. Things sim-
mered for a while, then got hot-
ter. Finally, a solution was
reached: the two ropes were
spliced in the middle.
That same year, more trouble
was reported in The Daily when
the teams tried to pad their teams
with extra men.
And to end a perfect day, the
sophs cheated on the free for all
tug, which has no limit to the
numbers on the teams. Realizing
they were outnumbered four to
one, they enlisted the aid of as
many bystanders as they could get.
And to cinch things, they tied their
end of the rope to a nearby tree.
The rope snapped. The judges'
decision went to the frosh.

and a tribute from the Univer-
sity of Illinois at the time of
Yost's 40th anniversary at the
University.
Yost's success in expanding ath-
letic facilities is shown through
a photo taken at the dedication of
Yost Field House in 1923. The first
field house to be built in this
country, it was properly dedicated
by a 26-to6 victory in basketball
over the Quantico Marines.
ONE CASE in the display is
devoted to pictures showing the
time Yost devoted to! getting his
football squads intop roper condi-
tion to stand a season of play
against strong opponents.
The originals of several news-
paper cartoons depicting Mich-
igan's high place in the foot-
ball world are a part of the dis-
play along with a huge scrap-
book and several trophies.
Among football programs in the
display is that for the first Rose
Bowl game on Jan. 1, 1902, when
Yost took his team west to trample
Stanford 49 to 0. The program
for Michigan's return to the Rose
Bowl on Jan. 1, 1948 when the
Wolverines defeated Southern Cal-
ifornia by the same score is in-
cluded.

face this problem. In fact, it finds
itself with a surplus of gorgeous
chorus girls and not enough men'
to go around.
THIS IN THE PLIGHT of the
University's Gilbert and Sullivan
Society, which needs a 60-mem-
ber chorus for its forthcoming pro-
duction of "Pirates of Penzance."
It has plenty of women; in
fact, the women's chorus is
closed to further applicants. But
it still needs men.
"No previous singing or dancing
experience is needed for these
chorus jobs," according to Fred
Scheffler, '50, the society's presi-
dent.
"ALL WE ASK is a love of
shower-room singing," he declared.
Scheffler has invited all inter-
ested men to attend the society's
chorus rehearsal at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 18, in the League.

first meeting at 3:30 p.m. Monday
at Lane Hall.
Prof. D. G. Marquis, chairman
of the psychology department and
former president of the American
Psychological Association, will out-
line the year's work.
SPEAKERS for the year will in-
clude members of various depart-
ments in the University and out-
standing men in the field of psy-
chology. They will deal with topics
ranging from the relation of psy-
chology to economics to the role
of psychology in aesthetics.
Roger Brown, student chairman
of the group, said that although
the group has dealt with special-
ized studies in the last two years,
it hopes the new program will be
of interest to the entire Univer-
sity.
