RIGHT CHALLENGED:
Architect Seeks To Serve
As Lit Class president
By HARLANDI BRITZ
An architect's claim to serve as president of the literary college
senior class will be decided tonight by Men's Judiciary.
The architecture student is, Doug Lawrence, '53 A&D, captain-
elect of the Wolverine basketball team, whose petition for the position
has been challenged.
? He bases hiS claim to run on recent procedure which has oc-
casionally allowed students from his school to vote for literary college
senior class offices.
HOWEVER, available records are silent on all aspects of the issue.
Currently the architecture school.-elects no officers-of its own.
Arguments against Lawrence's candidacy also are based on
precedent. To anyone's knowledge, no senior class literary college

Senate Snag
Morris Refused
Subpoena Power
WASHINGTON-)--The Sen-
ate Judiciary committee yesterday
refused to give Newbold Morris
power to subpoena witnesses and
documents in his hunt for cor-
ruption in government.
Instead they approved a plan
to set up an independent inves-
tigation.
SWIFTLY following on these de-
velopments:
1. House investigators voted to
ask President Truman to give them
the income tax returns of Attor-
ney General McGrath and 19 sen-
ior officials of the Justice Depart-
ment.
2. McGrath was invited to ap-
pear in person March 26 at an
open hearing of the House Ju-
cdiciary subcommittee investigat-
ing his administration of the
Justice Department.
3. Morris announced that he had
requested McGrath and 595 top
officials of the Justice Department
for detailed information about the
inancial affairs of themselves and
their immediate families.
4. Joseph D. Nunan Jr., form-
er Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, was closeted with
house tax scandal investigators
in a close-guarded secret session
yesterday. Nunan, who headed
the Bureau from -1944 to 1947
has come under the fire of Sen.
Williams (R-Del.) for his subse.
quent legal efforts in behalf of
clients in tax trouble with the
Federal government.
Morris, President Truman's No.
1 cleanup man, made it plain to
reporters a month ago that the
subpoena power was thenbasic tpol
In his investigation and said he
would have to have it "to accom-
plish the mission."
When a reporter asked him late
yesterday whether he could func-
tion effectively without it, Morris
said it would be of great value.
Then he added:
It's like trying to ski with one
hand behind your back. You have
better balance with both hands."
Morris disclosed his plans to in-
terrogate the top echelon of the
Justice Department at a news con-
ference.
Tell Ike' to Come
On Home To Win
PARIS-(IP)-Paul G. Hoffman
said yesterday he has advised Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower to give up his
NATO command and go home to
work for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination.
From high sources it was indi-
cated Hoffman felt he had brought
the General part way toward
agreement.
Publicly Hoffman, a leader in
the Eisenhower movement, said
Eisenhower had made no commit-
ments whatever about returning.
Grass Roots Politics
Write-in Candidate Eisenhower Runs
Close Behind Favorite Son Stassen
MINNEAPOLIS-(P)Gen. Eisenhower, fresh from a victory in
New Hampshire's presidential primary election, ran a strong write-in
second to favorite son Harold E, Stassen last night with nearly one-
sixth of the precincts reporting in Minnesota's primary.
In Hennepin County, the State's most populous, Eisenhower was
running nearly two to one over Stassen with about one-fourth of the
precincts reporting.
MOST POLITICAL OBSERVERS had believed the primary would
be a "shoo-in" for Stassen, elected governor of the state three times.
Returns from 645 of the state's 3,769 precincts gave Eisen-
hower 18,123 votes to 24,807 for Stassen. The totals included no
write-in votes from St. Paul, O

SEOUL, Korea, Wednesday,
March 19-An abrupt flare-up in
fighting on the Western Korean
battlefront Tuesday died down to

Meanwhile, armistice negotiators

currents of restrained optimism.
However, major issues still were
unsettled.

yesterday the administration's
$7,900,000,000 foreign aid program

IT IS EXPECTED that this plan
will go into effect next year, ac-
cording to Nancy Watkins, '52,
literary college senior president.
By its terms, each school and col-
lege will be privileged to elect its
own class officers. No student from
one school then would be per-
mitted to run for office in another
school.
SAFE SEPTEMBER?
College Enrollment May
Stabilize, Experts Say
Athletic Director Herbert 0.
(Fritz) Crisler returned from thet
weekend Big Ten meetings in Chi-
cago yesterday to clarify the four1
minor changes in the Western
Conference code.k
* * *
THE NEW RULES are:
1) Athletes, to maintain eligi-
bility, must have a grade average=
(usually C average or better) sat-i
isfactory for graduation.1
2) Competition must be com-.
pleted within five years of resi-
dence.
3) Schools must file academic1
records of athletes annually with
the conference commissioner. t
4) Athletes accepted for en-1
trance and taking up residence at
a school cannot be contacted by
any other conference school.
- *
THE FIRST regulation will not
affect Michigan, Crisler said. Ath-
letes will, as before, have the right
to appeal for eligibility if their
average is close to the required 2.0
and there are. some extenuating
circumstances.
As a casein point, Crisler
pointed out that the new rule
would have had no effect on the
controversial decision allowing
Topor to compete on the grid-
iron.
The fourth regulation, accord-
ing to Crisler, is aimed at ending
such incidents as the recent Mu-
setti case, where the all-city De-
troit Denby halfback was safely
snuggled in a South Quadrangle
room, only to wind up at MSC.
However, there have been seven
or eight similar cases elsewhere
in the conference, he added. I
The other changes were of a
more technical nature and would
have no particular significance
here, he said.
YP's May Sponsor
A resolution to affiliate with
the "Vote Yes" Committee, which7
will urge students to condemn the
power of the Lecture Committee
in the spring election, was passed
by the Young Democrats last
night.
The YD's, the fifth and final
campus group to endorse the "Vote
Yes" Committee, added an amend-
ment which would prohibit any
member group from distributing
literature, sponsoring speakers or
taking any other action without
the approval of the entire commit-
tee.
Lyn Marcus, '53, who proposed
the provision said that "it was
iecessitated because of the action
of the Young Progressives on the
Committee Ito End Discrimination
two years ago."
At that time," she explained,
"the YPs participated in action
which harmed the CED and
after a bitter fight a resolution
similar to ours was passed. The
present restriction is proposed
in order to forestall such a
fight."
The "Vote Yes" Committee will
meet again tomorrow night.
The YDs also decided last night
to hold a campus Jefferson-Jack-
son Day dinner April 18.
New oficers were elected by the
club to replace several who have
recently resigned. Bernie Back-
haut, '55, was elected recording
secretary, John Campbell, '55,
corresponding secretary, and
George B. Levy, '52, treasurer.
to the Democratic Administration
figures.
"Ike" supporters, confident at;
the outset of pushing through
their motion, steadily lost nerve
as the evening wore on. By the
time the Sallade resolution got
the floor it was the opposition
which was confident.
It was evident from the dis-
parity between 'he "Ike" applause
and the Genera's tally that much
of his backing came from the 75
or so non-delegates. But it was not
until the almost unanimous op-
position of the Ypsilanti delegates
had been heard that the Eisen-
hower forces knew they were
licked,
** *
SIGNIFICANT items in the roll
call, which followed an indecisive
voice vote, were the unexpected
support given by announced "Ike"
backers foi' the tabling motion, and
the pointed absence of Cleary
when his name was called. Cleary
explained later that as state chair-
man he had declined to take a
side in the dispute.
Efforts of "Ike" groups met
with similar lack of success in
most Michigan conventions last
night, a signal exception being
Isabella County where six out of
eight delegates are announced
supporters of the General.
Sallade, flushed but good-na-
tured after the defeat, said he was
"naturally disappointed that the
tabling motion passed." But he
emphasized that Washtenaw had
"proved conclusively by the vote
that Eisenhower has tremendous
support in this country."
Not so good-natured was Dave
Cargo, Grad., president of the
campus Ike group, who was ruled
out as a delegate from Manchester
by Chairman John Dobson, off a
technicality.
'Afterwards Cargo was red-faced
and angry because in disqualifying
him the Chairman had virtually
negated the convention's support
of a Cargo motion which put the
body on record as favoring equality
of economic opportunity, regard-
less of race, creed or color. Dobson
told The Daily this morning that
the validity of Cargo's motion was
still being decided.
When the evening's fireworks
were over the conclave finished up
the routine business of selecting
46 uninterested delegates to the
state GOP convention on April 5
in Detroit.

Barring unforseen defense needs,
the nation's college enrollment in
September ought to keep pace with
this year's figures.
That is the optimistic prediction
of Washington experts, according
to a story in the New York Herald
Tribune.
At the same time, man-power
experts are wary over the discard-
ed Universal Military Training
program,the Tribune said.
"Although the shelving of .UMT
may seem reassuring to some col-
leges now, it is likely to turn out
by 1955 to have been a short-
sighted move."
Local administrators refused to
comment, either on impending
University.enrollment or on more
distant figures. They protested
the defense situation was too fluid
to warrant their "going out on a
limb" now.
N* * * t
THE TRIBUNE listed three
an influx of Korean veterans to
boost college enrollments.
., * ,
PREDICTIONS are all based on
this year's figures. Altogether 80,-
592 fewer students are enrolled at
colleges and universities this year
than last, but there are still 2,-
116,000 men and women taking
courses in higher education, the
Tribune noted. The overall drop
from last year to this was eight
per cent.
University figures for last
September generally followed the
national trend. Then the fig-
ures dropped 10.2 per cent lower
than pre-Korean War figures.
As of this semester, the latest
local figures read a six-year low
of 17,742 students enrolled.
Crux of the whole enrollment
problem is the deferment issue. If
defense needs stay stable then
there is no immediate problem, ac-
cording to the Tribune.
