Tidelands Oil
Amendment
Voted Down
Senate Rejects
Federal Control
WASHINGTON-(AP)-The Sen-
ate yesterday booted out of the
way a proposal to substitute fed-
eral control for the states' owner-
ship provisions of the submerged
off-shore lands bill.
It voted 56 to 33 to table a fed-
eral control amendment offered
by Sen. Clinton H. Anderson (D-
NM).
* * *
ADVOCATES OF states owner-
ship of the oil-rich offshore areas
hailed the ballot as an indication
that eventually the bill will be
passed by an even greater margin
with no important changes. ,
Just when the vote on final
k passage of the bill will come was
still a guess, but leaders on both
sides of the controversy saw pos-
sibility of an end' to the debate
by the end of this week.
Senate Republican Leader Ro-
bert Taft of Ohio, who contends
that all of the pertinent arguments
have been brought out over and
over again in the debate which
started April 1, has threatened
around-the-clock sessions if some
agreement isn't reached soon on
when there will be a final vote.
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson of Texas told newsmen
all-night sessions would be started
today.
THE DEFEAT of the Anderson
amendment carried along with it
the oil-for-education proposal of
Sen. Hill (p-Ala.), which Ander-
son incorporated in his own
amendment just before the voting
began.
Taft had refused to permit a
separate vote first on the Hill
amendment, saying it dealt only
with a procedure of handling
ft eral revenues fron offshore
oil lands.
He said the Anderson amend-
ment got at the heart of the is-
sues involved in the states versus
government fight over control of
the lands beneath the marginal
seas.
The Hill amendment still could
be reworded, however, and offered
later as a proposed change in the
bill itself. Just before the vote on
the Anderson amendment, Hill
again challenged Taft to call a
separate vote on his proposal. The
Republican leader once more as-
serted that it was not a test of the
basic issues involved.
* * *
ANDERSON TOLD the reporters
that the object of prolonged de-
bate was to draw the public's at-
tention to all the issues involved.
He said this goal was being accom-
plished, and he held out hope that
a final vote could be reached by
the end of the week.
A number of perfecting amend-
ments have yet to be discussed and
voted upon, Anderson added.

Security Test
WASHINGTON-(R)-President
Eisenhower yesterday set up a
tight new security program in-
tended to make sure that the mil-
lions of federal employes have
"complete and unswerving loy-
alty to the United States."
Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.)
called it "a pretty darn good pro-
gram."

THE NEW plan goes into opera-
tion May 27. It provides for a
security test of some kind for
everyone appointed to a govern-
ment job. Strictness of the inves-
tigation will vary according to the
nature of the job.
Anybody seeking a "sensitive
position" - one in which he
could bring about "a material
adverse effect on the national
serurity" - will have to come
through a full-scale investiga-
tion under rigid, sweeping stan-
dards laid down by the Presi-
dent in an executive order.

Crisis withConform
By DOROTHY MYERS
The crisis in American education today is caused by internal
anti-intellectualism, as well as financial difficulties and outside pres-
sures to conform, Prof. Richard Hofstadter of Columbia University's
history department said yesterday.
Delivering the first Hayward Keniston lecture in a series estab-
lished last year in honor of the University's former Dean of the lit-
erary college, Prof. Hofstadter spoke on "Democracy and Anti-intellec-
tualism in America."
* , , ,*
WHILE CRITICIZING the "political shysters who make a living
by putting pressures to conform on the academic community," Prof.
-'Hofstadter emphasized that anti-
.intellectualism is found inside the,

Peace Congress
Appeal Answered
MOSCOW-(P)-Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov told the
Soviet-supported Peace Partisans
that Russia favors their appeal for
a five-power peace pact, Soviet
newspapers said yesterday.
The newspapers published an
answer by the Russian government,
signed by Molotov, to the "Con-
gress of the Peoples in Defense of
Peace." Molotov's answer was sent
to a committee of the Congress in
Paris Sunday.
* * *
THE CONGRESS had appealed
to the governments of Russia, the
U.S., Chinese Peoples Republic
(Red China), Britain and France
to begin talks to conclude a peace
pact among the five big powers,
the Moscow papers said.
In his answer, Molotov de-
clared the Russian government's
"constant readiness to cooperate
with the governments of other
powers for the attainment of the
high purposes of strengthening
of universal peace and interna-
tional security."
The Peace Partisans have been
proposing for some time that Rus-
sia, the U.S., Britain, France and
Red China conclude a peace pact.
ACCORDING TO Monday's an-
nouncement, the Congress propos-
ed once more that these five should
sign such a pact.
The Congress includes such out-
standing leftists as Frederic Joliot-
Curie, French atomic physicist;
Pietro Nenni, Italian socialist, and
Ilya Ehrenburg, Russian writer.
The telegram said tcle "govern-
ment of the USSR, following its
policy of strengthening peace and
cooperation among peoples, solid-
arizes with the appeal of the Con-
gress in defense of peace and with
the proposal contained in it."
The word "solidarizes"' was used
in the English translation of Mo-
lotov's telegram as released by
the Soviet censor. It was apparent-
ly meant to convey the idea that
the Soviet Union identifies itself
with and supports the appeal of
the Congress.

Unique Film.
Gregor Samsa-man turned in-
sect-returns to Ann Arbor at
7:30 and 9:15 p.m. today in Archi-
tecture Auditorium in a campus-
made film version of "Metamor-
phosis."
Given its first national perform-
ance here in 1951, "Metamorpho-
sis" tonight will be given its last
showing in the country prior to a
transcontinental jump to the
Sixth Grand Prix Avant Garde
Film Festival in France.
The film adaptation of a night-
marish, symbolic Franz Kafka
short story, it traces reactions to
Gregor's "metamorphosis" through
his own eyes by the use of the uni-
que camera-eye technique.
Admission for the one-night;
showing is 50 cents.

Differentiating between intel-
lectuals and journeymen, he de-
fined a journeyman as "one who
lives off ideals, while the intel-
lectual lives for ideas and is not
concerned with their practical-
ity."
The two attitudes incuded in true
intellectualism, he maintained, are
religion-"often the sole piety of
the sceptic"-and mental playful-
ness.
Democracy is not merely consti-
ty rights. Populistic democracy is
the meeting place of far right and
left opinions, the historian said.
ALTHOUGH there is no neces-
sary connection or opposition be-
tween democracy and intellectual-
ism," he continued, "in our civili-
zation there has been a persistent
tension between the two forces."
In this age of mass communica-
tions and the mass man the major-
ity can easily have mass tyranny,
he observed "Our popular move-
ments have been noted for their
opposition to liberal education and
free discussions of theology."
Prof. Hofstadter added, "The
ideology of normality present in
America causes people to ask not
'who they are' but 'how they can
spontaneously conform'."

Peace Talks

The Allies early today threaten-

ly-revived Korean armistice talks
unless the Communists produce a
constructive proposal on the cru-
cial prisoner exchange issue.
Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison Jr.,
senior United Nations Command
delegate, opened the 39-minute
session by asking the Red dele-
gates whether they were ready to
nominate a neutral nation to su-
pervise the war prisoners who
don't wont to go home.
Harrison told the Reds bluntly
in the third day's session of the
renewed talks:
"We do not intend to become
involved in protracted and use-
less arguments." The UN broke
off the talks last Oct. 8 for that
reason.
Meanwhile, the first group of
repatriated American prisoners of
war were scheduled to leave Tok-
