By ExpertsI
By BECKY CONRAD
Three University professors yes-

Bricker Amendment to the Con-
stitution concerning the Presi-
dent's powers to enact treaties and
agreements with foreign countries.
Sponsored by the University
chapter of the Atlantic Union
Committee, the faculty discussion
centered around three of the four
sections of the amendment.
PROF. WILLIAM W. Bishop of
the law school hit section two of
the proposal forbidding any treaty
to "authorize oy permit any for-
eign power or any international
organization to supervise, control
or adjudicate rights of citizens of
the United States within the Unit-
ed States or any matter essentially
within the domestic jurisdiction of
the United States."j

Truce negotiators wound through another fruitless session yester-
day.
They failed even to budge the roadblock on what to do with pris-
oners of the Korean War who don't want to go home.
North Korean Gen. Nam Il said the latest allied proposal, formu-
lated in Washington, was wholly unacceptable. "Our side resolutely
could not agree" to the plan, he said.

LT. GEN. William K. Harrison, Jr., attempted to answer some
Communist objections to the plan but said that most of them had
"already been adequately dis- O

hour and 20 minutes until 8

TIDELANDS ISSUE:
Faculty Members Call Oil
Bill 'PolitilM s
Three faculty members interpreted the recent offshore oil bill,
awaiting the President's signature to grant submerged oil lands to
state ownership as being chiefly a political rather than an economic
issue.
Prof. George A. Peek of the political science department sum-
marized the bill's economic aspects as "a question of whether leasing
of lands and consequent tax revenue will go to the states concerned
(Louisiana and Texas) or to the federal government.

McCarthy hurled the charge in
a fiery speech on the Senate floor
in which he shouted that if the
British want to pull out of the
fighting in Korea, let them "with-
draw and be damned."
* * *
IN LONDON, Attlee, who
aroused McCartny's anger by his
speech in the House of Commons
on Tuesday, said yesterday:
"I do not think that anyone
in this country judges America
by Sen. McCarthy."
The former Prime Minister,
leader of the British Labor party,
frostily denied McCarthy's asser-
tion he had made a "cheap at-
tack" on the United States.

"I THINK that anyone who
reads my whole speech will ac-
knowledge that it was not anti-
American but fully recognized the
great services to the world of the
United States," he said.
And the British leader told
newsmen:
"The British Labor party and
I myself have been vigorously
opposing the Communist party
in this country since its founda-
tion-long before Sen. McCar-
thy was ever heard of."
On the Senate floor, McCarthy
centered his main attack on Att-
lee's assertion that some elements
in the United States do not want
peace in Korea but would rather
wage an all-out war against Red
China and communism generally.
The senator said if the British
want to withdraw from Korea,
they should get out, and he cried:

Garlin, reporter for various

the recent subversive label at-

Kit Clardy (R-Mich.). "Any-

said.
Rep. Clardy had discovered the
allegedly Stalinist propaganda
publication in an up-state library
and suggested an inquiry into its
distributors. The same magazine
had appeared in the Ann Arbor
Public Library and aroused no
complaints, according to the head
librarian.
