Conference Commends Statement
On Academic Freedom, Obligation
Qualified approval of a statement by the Association of American
Universities concerning academic freedom and "the rights and re-
sponsibilities of universities and their faculties" was given by the
literary college faculty at their meeting yesterday.
In a statement commending the AAU resoluton for "a liberal
and forward looking concept of the role of the university in American
life," the group expressed their acceptance of "the concomitant obli-
gations of intellectual integrity and responsibility."

WASHINGTON - (P) - Fewer

power Council said today, and for

The council said a shortage of

with President Eisenhower, who
k helped organize the citizens' sur-
vey group when he was president
of Columbia University.
In spite of a recommendation
by the Council to President Eis-
enhower that there be main-
tained a continuous flow of stu-
dents through the schools andj
colleges, the President is shortly
expected to authorize a tokena
cut in college draft deferments.
The token nature of the cut,
however, actually represents a
victory for the Council's point of
view.
The cut will affect only a small
percentage of this year's fresh-
' man students and this year's sen-
and a strong endorsement of the
American association of University
Professors resolution protesting
methods used by Congressional
investigating committees.
Reaffirming the AAU's con-
tention that "as the professor is!
entitled to no special privileges
in law, so also he should be sub-
ject to no special discrimina-
tion," the literary college pro-
fessors emphasized Universities
"are bound to deprecate special
loyalty tests" applied to their
faculties and not to others.
"We admit the practical wisdom
of the injunction that it is clearly
the duty of universities and their
members to cooperate in offi-
cial investigations," the statement
read.
When legislative powers are
abused, the group would go along

The Symphony group has per-
formed before four university
audiences while on tour. Perry
said that university audiences
"are excellent and the orchestra
enjoys performing- for them."
Points in .favor of college aud-
iences are their good auditoriums,
and the fact that young people are3
more alert and more alive than the
average audience, he said.
Their program tonight will
include Beethoven's "Symphony
No. 2 in D major" and Creston's
"Symphony No. 2." After inter-
mission they will play the
Strauss "Suite from Der Rosen-
kavalier" and Stravinsky's "Suite
from L'Oiseau de Feu, The Fire

Korean outposts on the Central

day but were hurled back with an
estimated 400 casualties.
First reports from the sector in-

was hand-to-hand.

THE two-battalion attack came
after the Communists had relaxed

while hurling hundreds of MIG

Northwest Korean-and with di-
sastrous results.
In six straight days the Com-
munist Air Force hurled an un-

stepped-up aerial war but the
Reds were knocked back with

MEANWHILE, truce negotia-
tions were due to resume at Pan-
munjom today following a three-
'day recess called by the U.N. Com-
mand, presumably to firm up the
Allied bargaing hand on the dead-
lock prisoner exchange talks-last
barrier to an armistice.
The chief Allied negotiator, Lt.
Gen. William K. Harrison Jr., re-
mained in Tokyo yesterday for
consultations with Gen. Mark.
Clark, UN Far East commander.
Long distance talks with Wash-
ington were considered probable,
although there was no an-
nouncement to this effect.
The talks are stalled over what
to do with 48,500 Korean and Chi-
nese prisoners who have told the
UN Command they will not return
voluntarily to their Communist
homelands.
The recess-called for "admin-
istrative reasons" came during
ott-spoken signs of dissatisfaction
from Britain, Canada and India
on the handling of the negotiations
by U.S. truce delegates.
