I, 'Daily'To Start Tryout Trinin rograrn o day t'i> = * # # * * « Interest in news writing and business skills will pay off for students who attend one of The Daily's tryout meetings today and tomorrow. Editorial staff meetings have been sched- uled for 4 p.m. today in the 'Ensian editorial room on the second floor of the Student Publications Building, 420 Maynard. An- other meeting will be held at 4 p.m. tomor- row for those who cannot make the first. Business staff meetings will be held at 4:45 p.m. both days in the same place. PRACTICAL JOURNALISM Designed to instruct students in all as- pects of practical journalism, The Daily tryout training program is open to anyone who has completed at least one semester of college work and who is scholastically eli- gible for extra-curricular activities. Editorial staff includes three major writ- ing groups, each providing specific writing techniques training. The groups are edi- torial and news writing, women's and sports. Editorial training includes basic news and feature writing techniques, headline writ- ing, proof reading, makeup principles and other aspects of putting a newspaper to- gether. After a semester tryouts are advanced automatically to the sophomore staff and are assigned important beats for campus news coverage. From the sophomore staff junior staffers are selected. The night editor and assist- ant night editor positions are salaried jobs. SENIORS MAKE POLICY Junior staff members are eligible to be named to top positions on The Daily. The seven senior editors make important policy decisions and direct one of the most import- ant activities on campus. Sports staff tryouts will learn proof read- ing, headline writing and news and sports writing techniques, just as editorial staff members. But writing will be directed to- ward special sports' treatment. Women's staff offers an opportunity to do special fashion and society news writing. Business tryouts will learn all aspects of advertising writing, layout, promotions, ac- counts and office management. They will begin immediately procuring advertising. Training in sports, women's and business staffs lead to salaried positions on the junior and senior staffs. TOP NEWSPAPER PLANT Besides getting valuable journalistic ex- perience, student swill have an opportunity to work in what is probably the best equip- ped college newspaper plant in the nation. Valued at more than a half a million dollars, the Student Publications Building houses some of the most modern printing equipment available. Installed this fall, a new $67,000 rotary press will cut the time of printing The Daily from three hours to a little more than a half an hour. The rotary press replaces an old flat bed press which printed Dailies for more than two decades. Another important piece of equipment is the Fairchild engraving machine which pro- cesses photographs for printing in about 15 minutes. Pictures are engraved, by an elec- tronic process on plastic material, thus elim- inating many of the steps required in zinc engravings. MODERN EQUIPMENT In addition to the press and engraver, The Daily's equipment includes four linotype machines and several stereotype and mono- type machines. For 60 years The Daily has been training students in news writing and advertising skills. Among professional*editors and pub- lishers alike work on The Daily is considered valuable experience for reporting, editing and advertising jobs. Reporters, editors, news analysts and col- umnists who call The Daily their first train- ing school number in the thousands. Some of the more memorable names in- clude Stan Swinton, Associated Press report- er now covering the Korean war, H. C. L. Jackson, of the Detroit News, Brewster Campbell, city editor of the Detroit Free Press, and Chesser Campbell, treasurer of the Chicago Tribune. In addition to regular staff members, special writers in the field of movie, drama, music and book reviewing are needed. Those interested are asked to submit a sample of the type of writing they wish to do to the editorial director. Tryout Meetings Editorial Staff-4 p.m. today and to- morrow.

Gaitskell said the flying visit, coming so soon after Canada set its dollar free to find its own le- vel, was for the purpose of dis- cussing "mutual economic prob- lems." OFFICIAL CONTRADICTION But an authorized British offi- cial in Washington declared that revaluation discussions are not the purpose of Gaitskell's visit. The official said there is no fixed agen- da for the talks, but they are ex- pected to revolve around the task of rearming the western nations and the economic aspects of this vast defense move. (The Canadian dollar gained nearly four cents in heavy trad- ing in New York yesterday follow- ing the announcement that the Canadian government no longer was pegging it at its old 91 cent rate. The Canadian dollar ranged from 94/2 to 94% cents in the New York trading). { Rumors have persisted that Aus-. tralia is considering a similar move. REVALUATION POSSIBLE Though the British Treasury de- liberately avoided comment on ru- mors that the British pound may t soon be revalued, some informants said it was almost certan the act- ing treasury chief would discuss the effect of the free Canadian dollar on Britain's economy. Britain buys huge quantities of wheat and raw materials from her Canadian Commonwealth part- ner. The increase in the value of the Canadian dollar will have the effect of increasing the cost of these supplies to Britain unless she ups the value of her pound. Just over a year ago Britain devalued the pound from $4.03 to $2.80. At the time Britain's gold and dollar reserves, her trading capital, had fallen to a dangerous level The reserves have more than doubled because of the 30 cent cut in the value "of the pound on September 18, 1949.

The deeprest penetration was made by the Republic's Third Di- vision. It has moved five miles past the town of Kansong whede it was reported Sunday. Kansong is 30 miles north of the 38th parallel. American planes and warships supported the advance. A Navy summary yesterday said carrier-based planes raided airfields all the way across Korea north of the 38th. AP corespondent Tom Lambert, reporting from 10th Corps head- quarters, said there still was no indication if the South Koreans were advancing on orders from the U.S. Eighth Army or on the orders ofI N PAOrders Priorities for War Contracts WASHINGTON-(IP)-The gov- ernment yesterday ordered into ef- fect a mandatory priority system giving the armed forces first call on the nation's industrial assembly lines.

The overriding military con- tracts will carry the new symbol "DO," for "defense order." This rating may be used by the defense department and the Atomic Ener- gy Commission. Its enforcement is backed up by criminal penalties. Contractors who receive a "DO" order from the Army, Navy, Air Force, or AEC may servethe rat- ing on their own subcontractors and suppliers. "U' Ford Grant Program Set University President Alexander G. Ruthven announced yesterday that the social sciences research planning committee would plan a program for the se of the $300,- 000 granted to the University re- cently by the Ford Foundation of otheir own commanders. The Re- public's Third and Capital Divi- sions are under overall command of the U.S. Eighth Army. Lam'bert said Communists driv- en from Seoul were showing plenty of fight against U.S. Marines ad- vancing at a point about 10 miles due north of the capital. Meanwhile in Taejon bodies of 1,100 Korean civilians murdered by the Red invaders had been found thus far in this ruined town as the gruesome task of opening freshrgraves continued !Testerday. Thirty American soldiers were among the dead.

General Stratemeyer saio the strategic phase of the Korean air war has ended. But that aerial attacks are still being made against the relatively few military targets that are left.

Dean, AEC boss, told The Daily yesterday. "But anyone who can see as- surance of peace in the present sit- uation is kidding himself," Dean remarked. Asked if AEC would gradually decontrol itself and let industry take over full investigation of the atom if peace came, Dean replied, "It's not in the cards." FEW COMPLAINTS As for complaints against strict AEC controls, Dean noted that there aren't many. "Of course we all feel the pinch. I guess I show my badge 40 times in a visit to one of our plants." We're trying to cut out all un- necessary secrecy regulations as fast as we can, he explained. So far Phoenix is the only thing of its kind to be tried on a big scale by either a university or in- dustry, but Dean said if all re- search resources were used, there would be plenty for everyone to do. Earlier, Sen. Homer Ferguson, '13L, charged the Phoenix Project with ending some of the public's fear that pours into his office in the morning mail. SENATE WAITS In his praise of Phoenix in the Senate, he explained that his col- leagues didn't show too much en- thusiasm, but are waiting to see what facts the memorial comes up with. deSen.Ferguson said Congress un- derstands the atom, even though the appropriations subcommittee of which he is a member faces so much secrecy it can not fully in- vestigate its grants. Now Congress~ doesn't talk so much about atomic warfare and has scotched alarmist plans "to move to the hills." We must have an obedience by the world to international law, he., declared. "We may even have to+ kill some international bandits who won't heed the courts. But in+ any case, a total war would make+ this obedience impossible. And he urged all who believe in the American spirit of enterprise shown by the Phoenix Project to1 support the memorial., Dean Lauds 'U Project Of Research Austin, 'Ike Send: Phone Messages By VERNON EMERSON Iur strength does not lie in our weapons, but in our understanding of the forces of nature, Atomic En- ergy Commission chairman Gor- don E. Dean declared last night at the Phoenix Project's kickoff rally. Deal hailed the University for its initiative in undertaking the Project which he said would con- tribute to the strength of the country. He cited the need for an ever- ready pool of scientists to be used in peace or war for the nation's progress. He urged that this reser- voir be treated as a natural re- saurce to be maintained and in- creased. NEED BASIC RESEARCH At the same time, he pointed out, there is also a constant need for continuing, fundamental re- search. "The foundations. of our atomic energy program' are shallow-they float precariously in a vast swamp of ignorance," he admitted. Dean noted that the Phoenix Project will aid in endng the dark- ness surrounding the atom, and at the same time will build up need- ed scientific reserve. "I welcome the University's lead to more privately-financed atomic energy research. in unclassified fields, he said. "Too many re- search institutions have held back feeling that our monopoly is made up of more secrets than it is." Atomic energy development now has to be strictly controlled he said. But, he continued, this safe- guard to our security must not bar private initiative in atomic energy research, nor free academic in- quiry seeking policies and practices that will best guide the public and private use of atomic energy. FERGUSON SPEAKS In introducing Dean, Sen. Hom- er Ferguson said the only neces- sity for the government monopoly is national security. He explaned that Congress members waiting for the advice of such projects as the Phoenix me- morial on many of the problems facing then).

Symposia Urge Overall Atom Study A full-scale study of the effect of the atom on social and physi- cal science was urged by partici- pants in two Atom Day symposia yesterday. Social Aspects Driblets are being spent to study the social' implication of the re- lease of atomic energy-an event more important than the discovery of steam power, Prof. William Ha- ber of the economics department charged.

Prof. Haber stressed a recurrent note in the meeting: "As social scientists we must begin now to map the future of the atomic age." Prof. Marshall E. Dimock, for- mer Assistant Secretary of Labor, hailing the Phoenix Project as a formula to be followed by other universities in the future, called for social scientists 'to unite in a realistic study of the atom's effect on society.
