Prospects Rise
From Primary
MANCHESTER, N.H.-(A')-The prospects for a Republican con-
vention deadlock and some "new faces" on the Democratic ticket rose
last night out of New Hampshire's candidate-testing primary, the
nation's first in 1952.
Complete unofficial returns from the state's 297 precincts showed
Democratic Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee snapped President Tru-
man's election victory string by a decisive 20,147-16,298 vote--a margin
of 3,849.

Plan Passed
By Divided
House Vote
Minority Claims
Rule 'Unsavory'
A divided IFC House Presidents'
Assembly last night passed a new
rusing plan, permitting a man to
be pledged at almost any time
during this semester.
The vote was 29 to 13.
THE PLAN CALLS for a two
week Dead Period of inactivity af-
ter the regular two week rushing
period is over. After that time
men may be pledged without reg-
istering with the IFC.
However, any man pledged
during the extended period may
not be initiated with the pledge
class taken at the beginning of
the semester. Instead he must
wait to be initiated with the
pledges taken the following
semester.
The new ruling will go into ef-
fect at 9 am. Monday when pledge
cards wil be available at the Of-
fice of Student Affairs.
* * *
MEN PLEDGING in the next
ten weeks will also be able to take
advantage of a two-week old IFC
ruling waiving minimum scholas-
tic requirements for rushing and
pledging.
According to IFC Rushing
Chairman Pete Thorpe, '53, "the
plan will give fraternities that
want to help themselves an op-
portunity to do so."
The drop in pledges this semes-
ter was not the only factor bearing,
on the decision, he maintained.
The plan was also based on the
philosophy that if a man feels he's
going to fit into a group, he should;
be allowed to pledge.
Opposition to the plan felt that
it would. make rushing a year
around business. Such a condition,
several presidents felt, is quite un-'
savory.

Rally at Wayne
Causes Near Riot
By HARRY LUNN
Special to The Daily
DETROIT-Wayne University seethed yesteday following a near
riot caused by an unauthorized campus rally which featured alleged
Communists John Cherveny and Coleman Young as speakers.
Leaflets advertising the rally, which was sponsored by the Student
Committee to Defend Mrs. Lorraine Faxon Meisner, appeared on the
Wayne campus early yesterday. An estimated 2,000 people had gath-
ered at the meeting site when it started at noon.
YOUNG'S SPEECH was concluded without incident, but trouble
began when Cherveny started to talk. A restless crowd booed and
heckled him and some students started singing a chorus of the

On Red probe
The forum on the "Conse-
quences of the Un-American Af-
fairs Committee Hearings" sche-
duled for tonight's meeting of the
Ann Arbor Council of the Arts,
Sciences, and Professions has been
cancelled by the group's Executive
Committee.
Scheduled speakers were: Elliott
Maraniss, former Editorial Direc-
tor of The Daily and ex-copy edi-
tor of The Detroit Times; Cole-,
man Young, former CIO officer
recently accused of being a Com-
munist at the Detroit hearings;
and Prof. emeritus, John L.
Brumm of the journalism depart-
ment.
Though the Executive Com-
mittee still feels it would be desir-
able for the scheduled speakers to
be heard in Ann Arbor, it has can-
celled the discussion "merely to
avoid confusing the current de-
bate concerning campus speakers."
In place of the cancelled pro-
gram the meteing at 8 p.m. today
in the League will be devoted to
giving consideration to the prob-
lems involved in the sponsorship
of speakers in a college communi-
ty.

"I told the crowd that Wayne is
trading five and ten cent morality
for Kresge Grants," he said. "I
tried to tell them how the demo-
cratic tradition of the American
Youth for Democracy has been
squashed on this campus."
"Then Glenn Irving came, out
of the crowd and challenged me
to a fight," Cherveny said. "He
claimed that I was a member of
the Wayne Communist group
when he was."
Cherveny told Irving, a former
Communist who left the party,
that he was against force and vio-
lence and refused to fight.
MEANWHILE, Detroit Police
who had been alerted and were on*
campus, stepped in to prevent the
brewing riot by separating the two
men.
At 1 p.m. as the crowd drifted
away and tempers cooled, Cher-
veny was served with a subpoena
to appear before the House Com-
mittee at 2:30 p.m. However,
the Committee never got around
to hearing him.
When the Committee first vis-
ited Detroit two weeks ago, Cher-
veny was called for questioning.
At that time he refused to testify.
Then the day following this re-
fusal he appeared in the Commit-i
tee room at noon recess, declared
that his fellow workers wanted to
lynch him, and demanded the:
Committee's protection.

He claimed that Communists
gained control of the local by
aiming at election to secondary
positions.
Last witness, Archie Acciacca,
president of the local's Dearborn

mitted ex-Communist, attempted
to discredit Romano's testimony
on Tuesday by charging that he is
still a Party member.
Before Acciacca's testimony was

2-Suspension prior to an op-

3-Failing to offer her a hearing
before a disciplinary committee
containing student voting mem-
bers.
These actions, the SL felt, were
contrary to the ideals of the U.S.
National Students' Association Bill
of Rights.
* * *
THE MOTION, made it clear
that President Henry was within
his rights in suspending the coed
as outlined in Michigan law, out
that his methods were not in keep-
ing with student ideals of govern-
ment.
The motion passed with but
two negative votes. There was
little debate because the body
had devoted considerable time
to the issue last week before it
was sent to committee.
President Henry's action came
after Mrs. Meisner had refused to
cooperate with Committee ques-
tioners at the Detroit hearings.
She reportedly giggled at her in-
terrogators.
President Henry felt that Mrs.
Meisner's refusal to answer ues-
tions indicated "either an unrea-
sonable refusal to cooperate or
prima facie evidence of criminal
action."
Mrs. Meisner was given a hear-
ing by a board of deans after the
suspension and the results of the
hearing are expected today.

City Denies Curtailing Student Vote

By ZANDER HOLLANDER
Rumors that University students
were deprived of their right to
register for voting in Ann Arbor's
April 7 election were sharply de-
nied by city authorities yesterday.
Only three students had been
turned down when the registration
period ended Monday night, ac-

BACKGROUND of the registra-
tion tussle lies in a constitutional
provision which prevents students
from acquiring voting privileges in
a college town merely by virtue of
attending the institution.
But later interpretations of
the rule have modified it. Ac-
cording to Looker, if the student
takes a job here or can present

tions, the City Clerk pointed out
that an "exceptional" number of
students did register this year, al-
though he could give no exact
figure.
Looker's statement was con-
firmed by party leaders who in-
dicated that the upsurge in stu-
dent voting interest may be in-.
spired by a referendum on the
