Walter said yesterday "there is no good reason" for establishing the group as an ad hoc committee. In effect, Dean Walter's statement required that "Vote Yes" members no longer function as a committee. However, action taken by any of the five member organizations to publicize the anti-speaker ban referendum April 1 and 2 was in no way barred. * * * * THE STATUS of the "Vote Yes" group has been under question since Wednesday when Student Legislature members attempted to open the way for SL sponsorship of the committee if the Student Affairs Committee required it.

Optimistic supporters from 11 states, saying popular southern support is growing for Eisenhower, met at Atlanta, Ga. yesterday to map strategy. * * * SEN. ROBERT A. Taft of Ohio currently has the inside track af- ter intensive southern campaign- ing and long association with GOP leaders in the South. Major presidential campaign- ing rolled on in Nebraska, Wis- consin and Illinois, all with forthcoming primaries Taft, stumping northern Wis- consin, drew the biggest audience of the state's April 1 primary cam- paign Friday when 2,000 in Wau- sau heard him demand sweeping reorganization of the state de- partment. HAROLD E. Stassen, former Minnesota governor seeking the GOP nomination, visited the Fox River valley industrial area of Wisconsin, and Gov. Earl Warren of California, another GOP can- didate, moved through the south- ern tip of the state. Warren's place on the ballot was unsuccess- fully protested. On the Democratic side, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, who is pitted against Sen. Rob- bert S. Kerr of Oklahoma in the Nebraska Democratic primary on April 1, moved into that state yesterday. Plagued by bad weather, he doggedly continued his rugged schedule. Democratic Chairman Frank E. McKinney said he and President Truman-who still is silent about whether he will seek re-election- are in "perfect agreement and ab- solute accord." Truman had re- buffed McKinney for saying he thought a Korean peace agree- ment might make the President decide not to run again. f * * TRUMAN plans to return from Key West, Fla., to Washington Thursday to address a Jefferson- Jackson Day Dinner Saturday night. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, re- garded as a Taft supporter, in a speech to a joint session of the Mississippi legislature at Jack- son, said the present adminis- tration is leading the nation into Communism and war in Europe. Aside rom the presidential pic- ture, W. Stuart Symington an- nounced he will seek the Demo- cratic nomination for U.S. Sena- tor from Missouri. Republican Sen. Kem is up for re-election this year. Svmington held anumber is imperative for an ad hoc group. In strong objection to SL's move, Students for Democratic Action president Ted Friedman, '53, declared that the "Vote Yes" group was not an ad hoe committee. He emphasized that the committee existed merely to coordinate the action of the five already recognized member organizations. Dean Walter's statement in ef- fect upheld Friedman's argument. It stated that "since the purpose of the so-called 'Vote Yes' com- mittee is firmly established as promotion for a favorable vote on an issue which already has been placed on the student elec- tion ballot for April 1 and 2, there is no good reason for establish- ing an ad hoc committee through the Student Legislature." THE "VOTE YES" committee is made up of the chairmen of Young Progressives, Young Re- publicans, Young Democrats, Civil Liberties Committee, and the Stu- dents for Democratic Action.SDA sponsored formation of the group. It, is attempting to promote passage of a referendum asking whether students oppose the empowering of the University Lecture Committee to restrict any recognized campus organi- zation in its choice of speakers, or subjects. Friedman last night cited Dean Walter's decision as "an encourag- ing recognition of the responsible character of the five campus or- ganizations involved." Dulles To Sever Ties with Truman WASHINGTON - (P)-- John Foster Dulles ton Renublican OutPatient clinic, Angell Addition Stay Officials Express 'Disappointment' By CRAWFORD YOUNG The proposed library addition and new medical science building fell by the wayside in Lansing, it was learned yesterday, as the House Ways and Means Commit- tee omitted these items in the capital outlays budget reported out to the floor. However, the committee did recommend that $2,032,000 be ap- propriated to complete construc- tion on the Angell Hall Addition and the Out-Patient Clinic. THE $4,250,000 library expan- sion program and the $12,500,000 medical building plans are pro- bably dead ducks for this year. Such cuts by the committee are rarely reversed on the floor. University reaction to the committee recommendations was, as could be expected, some "disappointment." However, the cuts were not unexpected, as legislators had previously warned that there would pro- bably be no money to finance any construction other than that already underway. Friday, the committee had slashed $1,500,000 from the gen- eral operating fund, while last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee had chopped a Uni- versity deficiency request for $476,000. * * * and the new medical building have been kicking around for years. They have been submitted to the Legislature regularly since 1945 in University budgets, and have been just as regularly cut. The library expansion has for the past five years been ear- marked number one in Univer- sity needs. But it has always wound up taking the back seat, at first to the state emphasis on medical expansion, then, after the disastrous Haven Hall fire, to the Angell Hall addition. Medical school officials were slightly disturbed by the postpone- ment of their building hopes. Ac- cording to Wayne L. Whitaker, secretary of the Medical School, the faculty would be unwilling to go on indefinitely with the pres- ent facilities. "Although it is not essential that we get the new building this year, it is needed in the near fu- ture," he said.d- * * * STOR S, H IT SOUTI CEj TR * * : * -AP Wirephoto-Courtesy Ann Arbor News FLOODS STILL GeeCh - _c~ L~i$ $~ ~ . ncAN f Of~ A 4 f° KENT _KYd@ mmM -AP wirephoto-courtesy Ann Arbor News TORNADO-SWEPT-Resembling the flimsy structure of a crush- ed shoe box, a remnant of a Moscow, Tenn. home shows typical storm damage.

Casualty figures revised by the American Red Cross lowered the cost in human life of storms that scourged a six-state area Friday and yesterday to 208. An earlier count neared 250.

While the latest death tol of 208 brought a sharp revision downward. of earlier counts, some rescue workers feared that additional dead might be found amid wreckage and twisted de- bris yet to be probed. The latest addition to the frightful list of the storm dead came from Alabama, where three storms within a few hours late yesterday killed four persons, de- molished homes, and added to the wretched group of the home- less. The dead were reported at Hart- selle in the northwestern quarter of the state, and in the Winton community.
