'To Meet Stalin

WASHINGTON-(P)-President Eisenhower voiced willingness
yesterday to meet Joseph Stalin face to face and thresh out differ-

The President imposed conditions, however, that the Russians

21 Named
Communists
In Hearings
WASHINGTON - (A) - A col-
lege professor yesterday named 21
persons he said were Reds while
he was a Communist at Harvard
University 15 years ago.
Among them was the divorced
wife of Sen. Douglas (D-Ill).
PROF ROBERT G. Davis, of the
English department at Smith Col-
lege in Northampton, Mass., in-
cluded a Dorothy W. Douglas on
the list of people he said he once
knew as fellow Communists.
Prof. Davis did not identify
Dorothy Douglas as Sen. Doug-
las' first wife. But Smith Col-
lege officials said that the Mrs.
Douglas referred to was the sen-
ator's former wife.
She resigned from Smith in
1951, officials added.
A statement from Sen. Douglas'
office said the senator's first wife
was a Dorothy W. Douglas. They
were separated about 1927 and di-
vorced in 1930, the statement said.
It added that she taught later at
Smith. Sen. Douglas had no com-
ment.
TESTIFYING as the House Un-
American Activities Committee
opened public hearings on com-
munism in education, Prof. Davis
said he Joined the Communist
party in 1937 while teaching at
Harvard, and got out in 1939.
Of the activities of Commu.
nists on the faculty, he had this
to say:
"I think we all wanted to in-
uuence our equals but it wasn't
good sportsmanship to influence
young people in the classroom.;
Meanwhile, committee chairman,
Rep. Velde (R-Ill.) said last night
he hopes Prof. Davis will not be
fired from his post.
Wolverine Job
Petitions Open
All-campus petitions for jun-
ior positions in the Wolverine Club
will be available next week, the
club decided during last night's
meeting.
All students with at least soph-
omore standing next fall are eli-
gible for four committee and five
sub-committee chairmanships.
At their meeting, the club also
proposed several revisions of their
present functions. These include
giving representation to the band
and cheerleaders on the pep rally
committee and reducing the Block
"M" section from 1600 to 1200 stu-
dents.
The Block "M" section next
year will use multi-colored cards
and be located between the 35
and 50 yard lines.
Petitions for the junior posi-
tions may be picked up at 1020
Administration Bldg. between next
1 Monday and Friday.
Cleary To Speak
To YR Club Today
Michigan's Secretary of State
Owen J. Cleary will speak to cam-
pus Young Republicans at 7:30
p.m. today in Rm. 3K-L of the
Union.
Although Cleary has not an-
nounced the subject of his talk,
it will probably deal with Repub-
'screen, synchronized projection
equipment and 25,000 polarized
viewing glasses had been ordered
but might be delivered later than
expected.
The theater manager added
that the cost of 3-D equipment
and extra operators to handle
the two projectors would prob-
ably push the evening perform-
ance price to 95 cents.
The "Bwana Devil" process is
called Natural Vision, a new twist
to the old family and vaudeville
stereoscope gimmicks.
Two projectors are used to throw
separate images on the screen.
The light from each image is pol-
arized (filtered 'so that it "vi-
brates" in only one plane at right
angles to the other image).
The viewer sees a different pic-
ture with, each eye by wearing
glasses fitted with polarizing
lenses. His brain then combines
the images into a three-dimension-
al picture.
* * *
THREE-D is no kin to Ciner-
ama which has been packing in
New York moviegoers for several
months by achieving the depth il-
lusion with a wide curved screen
and three projectors.
Hoag said that although he
knew very little about Cinerama
he felt the tremendous cost of
installation and projection,
which requires an admission
price of $2.40, would preclude its
feasibility at the present time.
The "Bwana Devil" film has en-
joyed a long run in Detroit where
the new process caused a fair sen-
sation, and packed in crowds.
Cleveland audiences have also
viewed the jungle movie.
Arthur Knight, film critic for
the Saturday Review, said in a,
lecture here yesterday that 3-D'
would become a permanent box
office feature as soon as produc-
ers discover how effective the!
medium can be without "bom-
barding the audience with spears
and leaping lions."
Knight predicted three-dimen-
sional films will appear in all
major cities within two years, but
$75,000 installation costs would
limit Cinerama type processes to
big cities only.
The film critic visited Ann Ar-
bor in connection with the open-1
ing of Cinerama at the Detroit
Music Hall March 23.
ence since taking office.
He said he would meet any-
body anywhere-even half-way
to Russia-to advance the cause
of peace. But he said he would
do so only if any agreement
made were self-enforcing--that
is, if there were safeguards
against violation.
Russia has rejected "self-en-
forcing" agreements consistently.
A notable case in point is the oft-
en-pressed American proposal for
development of atomic energy un-
der United Nations auspices.
The Russians have refused to
permit UN or any other inspection
teams on Soviet soil.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(A)
-Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. charged
yesterday Russia started the Red
aggression in Korea and is con-
tinuing it, ostrich-like, with full
aid to the Communist Chinese and

LETTERS will also be sent to
local landlords in an attempt to
encourage the practice of rent-
ing off-campus rooms to students
from other countries.
Chief opposition to the motion
came from guest speaker Booth
Tarkington, '54E, president of

of the program, emphasized that
audience participation will be
stressed in each of the eight ses-
sions "in order to promote the
most comprehensive coverages of
the topics under consideration."
In tonight's session, questions
and comments from the floor will
follow Regent Connable's talk.

MEET YOUR REGENTS:
Connable Former Student Leader
'4
By CRAWFORD YOUNG
Daily Managing Editor
Few men are better qualified to
describe the "rewards" of student
activities than Regent Alfred' B.
Connable, '25.
As a student, he held leading po-
sitions in both the Student Coun-,
cil, a forerunner of the Student
Legislature, and The Daily.
S * * .
AS A BUSINESS man, he rose
quickly to a top position in the in-
vestment counseling business, and
today holds posts as chairman of
the board of directors of two firms,
and director of more than a dozen
others.
As an active participant in the
game of politics, he has been elect-
ed twice to the Board of Regents,
and was part of the influx of
young and vigorous men into the
state Republican ranks during the
Wendell Willkie era.
A dynamo of energy and, at 49,

In 1940, Regent Connable was
a top figure in the Michigan Will-
kie organization, worked indefatig-
ably at organizing "Willkie ' for
President" clubs throughout the
state, and was instrumental in
swinging Michigan into the Will-
kie column by a narrow macgin.
He was named by Willkie as state
campaign manager in 1944.
In 1941, the insurgent group was
not to be denied. Regent Connable
won the nomination over the op-
position of the McKay.forces-the
first defeat for McKay, and one
that presaged the break-up of the
I machine shortly afterwards.

"Formosa is not a necessary link in the chain of American de-
fense," Prof. Robert E. Ward of the political science department de-
clared last night at a meeting of UNESCO.
Listing several reasons for this statement, Prof. Ward pointed out
that the United States has powerful bases on nearby Luzon and Okina-
wa, which would be capable of defending the area around Formosa if
that island should fall into Communist hands.
HE ALSO EXPRESSED the opinion that Chiang-Kai-Shek's forces,
reliably estimated at 600,000 men, were of "dubious efficiency." Thisj
situation is a result, Ward said, of I
"poor morale, little equipment, andi
generally over-age, undernourished
and diseased troops."
"Furthermore," he continued,
"Formosa is inadequate from an
economic standpoint for long
term bases unless the United
States is willing to sink great
sums of money into it." Con-
sidering this, Ward feels that
"the money could be used to
