Case Clubs
Will Debate
National Act
The constitutionality of the
McCarren Act will be debated in
a hypothetical case before two
Case Club courts at 7:30 p.m. to-
day in the Law School.
The simultaneous trials of the
case mark the semi-final round
of Case Club annual competition
among junior law students.
* * *
THE CHIEF issue of the case
involves the use of the mails by
so-called "Communist - Front"
groups, according to Thomas C.
Walsh, '51L, Case Club publicity
chairman.
Jerome R. Sanford and Har-
old S. Lentz, representing the
Fletcher Club will be opposed
by Francis J. Pruss and James
Huston of the Colley Club as
counsel in one trial of the case.
In the other trial, Richard G.
Patrick and Arthur L. Biggins of
the Woodward Club will oppose
Robert A. Dean and Thomas Al-
len.
The two winning teams will
participate in the Case Club fi-
nal competition on May 2 before
a 'court' of outstanding jurists
from the midwest.

Military demands are cutting
into the medical staff of the Uni-
versity Hospital.
Forty doctors in the Hospital's
resident training program, almost
10 per cent of the staff, have been
called, according to Dr. Roger B.
Nelson, assistant director of the
Hospital.
Speech Play
'Continues Run
Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo
and Juliet" wil be performed again
at 8 p.m. today in the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre.
Produced by the speech depart-
ment, the play will run through
Saturday. Special student tickets,
costing 60 cents, are available for
tonight's performance. The regular
price scale for tickets is $1.20, 90
and 60 cents.
The Theatre's box office will be
open daily throughout the run
from 10 a.m. to curtain time for
the ticket sale.
THOUGH THE staff reduction
hasn't impaired the quality of the
Hospital's patient care, it has re-
sulted in some curtailment of re-
search activities and increased the
work load for the remaining staff
members, Dr. Nelson pointed out.
Of the eleven clinical depart-
ments that have released doc-
tors, the largest number have
gone from the surgery depart-
ment, which has lost 16 of its
former total of 83 surgeons.
The hospital has been able to
