Funds Reduced
For 23 Agencies
WASHINGTON - (A') - T,
House passed its first appropria
tions bill for the new year yestex
day, cutting 61 per cent from fund:
asked for 23 federal agencies.
Passage by voice sent the bi
to the Senate after the House had
1. Voted 198 to 106 to halt gov-
ernment-aided construction of
public, low rent housing not la-
ter than July 1. Several senators
already have announced they
will seek to change that provi-
sion.
2. Refused to appropriate th
normal annual contribution of th
federal government to the Civ
Service Retirement Fund. Th
standing vote was 143 to 84.
3. Eliminated without contro-
versy a committee-proposed plan
to bar the Federal National
Mortgage Association from buy-
ing more mortgages 'and to or-
der it to sell one billion dollars
worth of those it holds.
The measure appropriates $451,.

starting July 1. They do not in.

THAT AMOUNT is $721,423,697
or about 61 per cent, below th
amount former President Trumal
had asked in his January budge
proposals.
Most of the reduction was for
Civil Service funds.
Meanwhile, in a letter resigning
as Commissioner of Education,
Earl J. McGrath told Presiden
Eisenhower that budget slashe
already have "markedly damage
the morale of a highly competen
professional staff," and the pro-
posed new budget will "further
dampage" the federal program sup
porting education.
The House also passed and sen
to the Senate yesterday a bill au-
thorizing the Agriculture Depart-
ment to use $3,150,000 of its avail-
able funds to formulate acreag
allotments for the 1953 wheat anc
4 cotton crop because of the prob-
ability that marketing quotas wil
be necessary.
Walter Urges
Speedy Co-ed
Union Aetion
A review of the co-ed union
question by University alumni,
faculty and students, suggested
by Dean of Students Erich A. Wal-
ter, might take some time to ac-
complish, Dean of Men Walter B.
Rea said yesterday.
Addressing the Union Awards
Banquet Tuesday, Dean Walter
cited the need for co-ed facilities
and urged quick action on the
problem. He felt, however, that
whatever solution is reached, parts
of both the Union and League
should be devoted to activities for
which they were originally plan-
ned.
DEAN REA, who has 'worked
with the Union and League on the
problem, said that one meeting
3 has been held between committees
of the two groups with further
conferences slated next week.
The League Board will meet
at 4 p.m. today to discuss the
question preparatory to next
week's meetings.
Dean Rea indicated that after
some agreement is reached be-
tween student groups regarding
co-ed facilities, further surveys of
the alumni and alumnae may be
undertaken.
"The majority of alumni I have
talked to are more concerned with
student needs for facilities than
with alumni needs," he comment-
ed, but added that these opinions
are not necessarily indicative of
the feelings of all alumni.
In his Union speech, Dean .
Walter referred to a recent Chi-
cago meeting between alumni

Meetings Seen
WASHINGTON-(;)--The Sen-
ate took a breather in its sub-
merged lands debate last night,
but returns to night sessions to-
day with the threat of round-the-
clock meetings Monday to speed
up a final decision.
After two nights of talking al-
most until midnight, the Senate
quit shortly after 10 p.m. Majority
Leader Robert Taft of Ohio prom-
ised to try again today for an
agreement to limit a debate which
has entered its fourth week.
TAFT EARLIER had agreed to
delay until Monday a test vote on
what he said was the "main issue
of the controversy" over state vs.
federal ownership of the offshore
submerged lands.
The motion, once scheduled for
last night, was put off, Taft said,
at the request of five Senators who
are out of town and some others
who felt more time for debate is
needed. Such a motion cannot be
debated.

Shielded in a 600-pound lead box, one ounce of radioactive gold
arrived at the Willow Run Airport at 11:05 p.m. yesterday.
The gold, flown from Idaho Falls, Idaho, was immediately placed
in a 250-gallon steel tank surrounded by sand bags two feet thick
and filled with water as protection against the deadly beta rays.

rected toward full utilization of
the capabilities of ram jets.
These tests, to be carried on by
the Engineering Research In-
stitute, will last only four hours
since gold has a "half life" of 70
hours. Gold is the most radioac-
tive source used for this purpose.
"We have to have high air intake
abilities in these ram jets, since
they burn a tremendous amount of
fuel in a small space," Prof. Rich-
ard B. Morrison of the engineering
department explained.
Ordinarily work is done in the
laboratory, where the source is ra-
diated, but in this case the gold
had to be transported to the site
of the experiments.
Before arrival,researchers had
made 30 "dry runs" in order to be
completely prepared for the proj-
ect.
Tickets Available
For Speech Play
Reserved and general admission

may still be purchased in the

Tickets are priced at $1.20, $.90

$.50 will be available for the last
time today.
TAFT PREDICTED in advance
his motion would be approved by
at least a 20-vote margin, thus
killing the substitute measures.
But the vote had no effect
toward limiting the debate on
the pending measure to affirm
the states' title to submerged
lands within their historic boun-
daries.
Sen. .Hubert Humphrey (D-
Minn.) talked for seven hours yes-
terday and ventured the predic-
tion that President Eisenhower
might veto a states' ownership bill
if it is passed.

A rising vote of acclamation last
night put Bob Neary, '54BAd., in
the Student Legislature presi-
dency at the head of a newly-
elcted, seven-member cabinet.
Following the unanimous vote,

"make the problems of acceptance
by the administration and repre-
sentation of student opinion com-
patible ideals."

Union Council
Cominmittees
Streamlined
A complete overhaul of commit-
tee posts on the Union executive
council yesterday came as the first
big step toward streamlining op-
eration of the various committees.
The number of the committees
was increased from six to nine, but
only one councilman has charge of
each, instead of two as before.
ANNOUNCEMENT of the reor-
ganization came in time to affect
appointments to the executive
council today.
The change will reduce the
number of councilmen appointed
for next year from 12 to nine.
Explaining . he reorganization as
a move to define committee head
responsibility more definitely, new
Union president Jay Strickler, '54,
said, "The change should also
eliminate competition between the
joint committee heads which has
sometimes resulted in a job being
poorly done."
STRICKLER said that the idea
of revising the committee setup
has been under consideration for
some time and that further
changes in committee functions'
will probably be made.
Committees added in the re-
organization of the council will
handle such special functions as-
Union dances and Little Club,
publicity releases and advertis-
irig and routine house functions
of the Union.
The coordination committee,
formed last year to coordinate
Union work with overall campus
past semester. Neary is a member
of Phi Delta Theta fraternity and
vice-president of Sphinx, junior
men's honorary. He replaces out-
going president Howard Willens,
'53.
In the four-way vice-presiden-
tial race, Bob Ely, '54E, was vic-
torious. Veep candidates Raj-
esh Gupta, Grad., and Fred
Hicks, '54, were dropped on the
first two ballets, and Ely defeat-
ed Janet Netzer, '54, on the
third.
Hicks was subsequently reelect-
ed treasurer by a vote of acclama-
tion.
Next vote in the seven-post elec-
tions gave Miss Netzer the first
cabinet member-at-large position
above last-minute candidate Ned
Simon, '55, and Chris Reifel, '55.

SECOND member-at-large post
went to Miss Reifel, who defeated
Simon and'Steve Jelin, '55, on the
second ballot.
Surprise move of the evening
was the acclamation vote elect-
ing Barbara Mattison, '54, re-
cording secretary. Miss Matti-
son had previously disavowed in-
tentions of running for the post.
Incumbent corresponding secre-
tary Shirley Cox, '54, was reelected
