Smith Hints
At Shakeup
In Pentagon
Committee Halts
Arms Hearings
WASHINGTON -- (P) - The
chairman of the Senate com-
mittee investigating ammunition
shortages in Korea hinted yester-
day that Congress may demand a
shakeup in the organization of
the Pentagon.
Sen. Margaret Chase Smith
(R-Me.) gave this indication to
reporters after her armed ser-
vices sub-committee called a tem-
3orary halt to its ammunition in-
quiry.
* * *
SHE SAID, too, that Gen. Doug-
las MacArthur may be called as a
witness later to fill in gaps in the
testimony already heard by the
senators.
The final witness in the cur-
rent phase of the inquiry was
Gen. . Lawton Collins, the Ar-
my's chief of staff, who said in
answer to question from Mrs.
Smith that the Army never was
told not to win the Korean war.
Gen. James Van Fleet had told
the subcommittee earlier that
there were serious ammunition
shortages during the 22 months
he commanded the Eighth Army
in Korea. He called the engage-
ment "a sitdown war."
MRS. SMITH said she hopes
the testimony heard by the sub-
6 to changing the military organi-
zation and Pentagon management
to avoid any future situation such
as the ammunition shortage.
Collins was called to a closed-
door session of the subcommit-
tee Monday afternoon to tell
about the Pentagon's military
policies in Korea.
Before going into the secret ses-
sion, Collins appeared for public
questioning.
Mrs. Smith asked Collins if the
Army ever got orders against win-
ning a military victory in Korea
or against driving the Chinese
Reds back across the Yalu River
into Manchuria.
"There were no such orders,"
Collins replied.
rYR's Disavow
Endorsement
Of McCarthy
In a surprise move, the Young
Republican board has disavowed
action of the Midwest Federation
of College YR Clubs at its annual
convention and vigorously de-
nounced the investigating tactics
of Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-Wis.)
At the March 28 convention, the
Federation had passed a resolution
commending the controversial sen-
ator and favoring continuing ex-
posures of Communism by Sen.
McCarthy,
PRESIDENT JASPER Reid.
Grad., emphasized that the local
YR club had no official, voting
delegate at the convention al-
though it is a member of the fed-
eration.
Speaking for the YR board,
Reid continued, "I deeply re-
gret the illadvised action of the
convention in endorsing inves-
tigating tactics which are wholly
incompatible .with .Democratic
ideals and traditions."

The board also attacked various
planks in the platform drawn up
by the convention, including en-
dorsement of the McCarren-Wal-
ters immigration act.
Ron Seavoy, '53, who attended
the convention as an officer and
did not represent the local group,
explained the federation had
passed the McCarthy resolution
because, "The executive branch of
government does not adequately
publicize subversive elements."
Sunday was the first time the
local YR board had met since the
convention because of the inter-
vening spring vacation,

U.S. Communists{
Told ToRegister
Long Court Battle Looms in Future,
Control Board Calls Reds 'Puppet'
WASHINGTON--01)--The U. S. Comhmunist party was ordered
yesterday to register as a tool of Moscow, list its members and give aI
finaicial accounting.
But the party doesn't have to do anything about it just yet.
THE REGISTRATION order from the Subsersive Activities Control
Board, which called the party "a subsidiary and puppet of the Soviet
Union since its inception in 1919," opened the way for a long, drawn-
out court battle.
Party lawyers, who had declared in advance they would
fight the ruling, said yesterday they will ask the U. S. Court
of Appeals here-and the Supreme Court, if necessary-to re-
verse the board's decision "as an unconstitutional monstrosity."

NEW YORK - (R) - Treasury
Secretary George M. Humphrey
said yesterday there will be no de-
pression in America, come a Ko-
rean armistice of even full world
peace.
"Adjustments, yes, but not de-
pression," he added in his maid-
en speech as the fiscal weather-
vane of President. Eisenhower's
new Republican Cabinet.
THE FORMER Midwest iron ore'
magnate told the annual luncheon
of The Associated Press at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hitel:
"So long as we maintain the
soundness of our mon'ey; attain
that nice balance between
achieving security from aggres-
sion and maintaining economic
strength; eliminate waste and
handle our fiscal affairs with
wisdom, America can look for-
wird to good jobs at good pay
and real advances in our scale
of living.
"We can have a stronger econo-
my based on sounder fundamen-
tal conditions than we have known
in many years."
Humphrey advised the 1.000
editors and publishers that
"taxes should not be reduced until
expenses are under control."
But he quickly added:

Busboy Plea
May Result
In Walkout
By TOM LADENDORF
Two West Quadrangle busboyj
representatives indicated that
their strike for higher wages would
be resumed Monday unless their
plea for an increase is granted.
Their announcement came after
a meeting yesterday with Resi-
dence 'Halls business manager,
Leonard A. Schaadt.
The strike which began last
Thursday night has revolved
around the question of higher
wages and better working condi-
tions. According to John Curry,
'53 NR, and Richard Schmude, '53,
spokesmen for the strikers, the
busboys are seeking a dollar an
hour wage.
Schaadt told the representa-
tives at yesterday's meeting that
it would be impossible to raise
their wages beyond 85 cents an
hour this year.
Plans are underway, the busboy
representatives report, to enlist ther
support of all Quad men and the
other quad busboys to press for
the wage increase. They expect
almost complete cooperation in a
walkout. After yesterday's meeting
Schaadt said that several minor
grievances were worked out.
Plans for a permanent student
grievance and discipline com-
mittee were discussed, and other
matters such as the busboy grad-
ing system and undefinied au-
thority over the busboys were
referred to West Quad Manager
Lynford E. Tubbs, to the dis-
cussed at the Quad level.
Twenty-five workers were- in-
volved in the original strike last
Thursday. They returned to the
dining rooms Thursday evening
after setting up a six-man com-
mittee to formally present their
grievances to the Administration.

MEANWHILE, it was reported
that the Justice Department may
seek later this week to force a
half dozen alleged Communist-
front organizations to register. The
department would not comment on
this.
However, Atty, Gen. Brownell
Issued a statement saying the
board order against the U. S.
Communists "supports our
charge that the Communist par-I
ty is Soviet directed and con-
trolled."
The order came almost 29
months after former Atty. Gen. J.
Howard McGrath petitioned the'
board to require the party to reg-
ister. Hearings covered more than
14 months.
The McCarran Act established
the board and authorized it to de-
termine whether any organizations
were directed from abroad. Such
organizations are required by the
act to register and give member-
ship lists and financial details.

British Plae
As Working
Describing Britain's program of
nationalization as "democracy at
work in one of democracy's most
advanced laboratories," Prof. Ben
W. Lewis, chairman of the econom-?
ics department of Oberlin College,
said last night that this plan
was of great concern to the West-
ern world.
Speaking before a meeting of the'
Economics Club, he said that na-
tionalization was an experiment
which "has not meant destruction
of individual free enterprise by
a monolithic government."
He maintained a greater amount;
of coordination and reorganiza-
tion had been demanded in the
interests of efficiency. Only the
government had been capable of
such a task, he concluded.

In discussing the change in final

hit upon the time lag between the

unfortunate. He said seniors would
