But almost immediately, Republican leaders promised that floor action would be delayed until after May 1, to give them time to cut federal spending before income is reduced.

SL Receives Fund Grant For Project Student Legislature yesterday was granted $230 from the Office of Student Affairs Student Rela- tions Fund to finance a compre- hensive, nine-session Citizenship Program. Open to the campus, the student citizenship project has a two-fold purpose:, to increase the campus, awareness of its civic responsibili- ties and to broaden understanding of the complex student organiza- tion set-up here. THE FIVE-WEEK program will open Feb. 26 in Auditorium B, Ma- son Hall, with a speech by Regent Alfred B. Connable on the rewards of student activities. Remaining sessions will take various forms-speeches, panels, and question and answer periods, with overall emphasis on audi- ence participation, according to Bob Neary, '54, project chair- man. In line with the concept of the program outlined in its title "Stu- dent Citizenship-Awareness, Re- sponsibilities, Rewards," the ses- sions will deal with several as- pects of the function of the edu- cational community and give stu- dent organizations a chance of outlining their structures. The second session of March 3 will combine a speech by Al Lowenstein, former president of the National Student Associa- tion, with a panel on academic freedom. Programs on group dynamics, the concept of the educational community, University public re- lations related to University reg- ulations and problems and organi- zation of student activities will be presented Tuesdays and Thurs- days of successive weeks. Students, ,faculty, administra- tors and guests will jointly handle! presentation of the project's var- ious aspects. World News Roundup By The Associated Press TOKYO - The Far East Air Forces yesterday said two Russian- type planes made head-on firing passes Sunday at two U.S. jet in- terceptors and fought a 10-minute air battle before they were chased out of Northern Japan. WASHINGTON - President Eisenhower took a first step to- ward creation of a Cabinet-rank federal security department yes- terday, discussed plans for repu- diation of certain secret inter- national agreements and ar- ranged to meet today with Ad- lai E. Stevenson. WASHINGTON - Sen. McCar- thy (R-Wis.) yesterday called on Secretary of State Dulles to pun- ish State Department officials he accused of taking reprisals against a witness in a Senate investigation nf'mvsterinnsiv misino- file. Democrats said never in his- tory had the committee taken such critical action without even hearing from the Treasury. Nor, they charged, has any other ad- ministration ever ducked a stand on such an important decision before the committee. Other important action on Capi- tol Hill occurred yesterday when the House Appropriations Commit- tee launched its 1953 budget-cut- ting drive with a bang, slashing 60 per cent for a supplemental money measure. The biggest cut was a com- plete turndown of a Defense De- partment request for $1,200,000,- 000 to tide it over until theend of. the fiscal year ending June 30.. The committee hacked $1,- 409,046,670 off of $2,313,719,590 request by all government agen- cies, approving only $904,672,920 in new funds. The requests for supplementary funds originally were made by the Truman administration and, in some instances, were scaled down by department heads appointed by President Eisenhower. There was some question wheth- er the claimed saving resulting from the committee's action on de- fense funds is an actual economy or a bookkeeping operation. The committee didn't halt any of the defense projects involved, but said they should be financed from funds already appropriated for this fiscal year and not yet spent. To accomplish this, it auth- orized transfers within the Defense Department's many budget ac- counts. Execution Date Set forSpies NEW YORK-(P) - The atom' spy team of Julius and Ethel Ro- senberg were condemned anew yesterday to die in three weeks- a judgment that is expected to heighten the drumbeat of world- wide propaganda against their execution. . Without comment, Federal Judge Irving R. Kaufman set the week of March 9 as the execution period for the first American ci- vilians ever condemned to die for peacetime espionage. Sing Sing prison's regular exe- cution night is Thursday, which falls on March 12 of that week. The traditional hour is 11 p.m. This is a memorable day for the University. It is not often that the campus is honored with a visit from the State Legislature. When 100 state senators and representatives can afford a day off from the whirl of legis- lative activity to tour the environs of one of the state's finest achievements, it is an auspicious occasion. In inspecting the University's facilities today, the State Legislature will see much in which to take pride. The medical expansion program, the embryonic North campus development, the first realizations of the Phoenix Project, the recently completed Mason-Haven Hall liter- ary college complex, all these present a° panorama of progress. Add to this the vast intellectual reservoir, the world-wide academic prestige of the University, and you have a living memorial to the State of Michigan. But the University's reputation cannot continue to grow without continued forethought and support from the State Legislature. The very growth process brings myriads of prob- lems-replacing antiquated facilities, keeping faculty salaries apace with the cost of living, blueprinting now the direction and aims of the University 25 or 50 years from now. The last few years have produced an encouraging atmos-, phere of greater cooperation and understanding between the University and the State Legislature. President Hatcher's address to the Legislature last March was one signal of har- mony, the visit today is another. The last time the entire Legislature trekked to Ann Arbor marked the beginning of an era of expansion and close University-Legislature liaison. We hope that this visit augurs as well for the future of the University. We join the administration, faculty, and student body in welcoming the State Legislature to Ann Arbor, and trust that a one-day respite from the state's manifold problems will be profitable for all concerned. -Crawford Young, Barnes Connable, Cal Samra, Zander Hollander, Sid Klaus, Harland Britz, Donna Hendleman: The Senior Editors Draw First Full 80 Lawma I : BY ERIC VETTER University officials will roll out the welcome mat this mor for the Michigan State Legislature which is visiting the Univel in a group today for the first time in 30 years.

Speaking before the largest audience of his career, the famous Dickens' interpreter presented six scenes in the style of Dickens him- self giving a solo performance from his novels. WILLIAMS STOOD before 'a desk which exactly duplicated that of Dickens while he brought to cal center and a luncheon at the Union. A sharp eye is being kept on the weather man by University officials who have scheduled a full day of activity for the group. Plans call for the legislators to see every major campus building except the athletic plant, either ,on the tours or ftom University buses. If bad weather prevails the hour long morning walking tour will be cancelled and a bus tour substi- tuted, according to Arthur L. Brandon, Director of University Relations. Buildings slated for inspection by the lawmen in the morning are the Angell Hall Addition, the Nat- ural Science Bldg., the General Li- brary, the Pharmacology Bldg., the Automobile Lab and the Law Quandrangle. FOLLOWING the tour legisla- tors, along with five students rep- resenting campus organizations, will have lunch at 12:45 p.m. in the Union Ballroom.

In addition, members of Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, will the luncheon. After the noon meal, legislators will see the new Outpatient Clinic and University Hospital. Members of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee will revisit the campus at a latter date for an extensive tour. Both groups pass on University appropriations and the second visit is designed to allow them to inspect University needs more closely. Recall Past' Legislature Vists to U As state legislators convene Ann Arbor today for their 'th campus visit, Univerity offici hope that it will be as success as their last one but not like th first trip. University President James Angell invited the legislators Ann Arbor for their first insp tion tour in 1895. Events wf smoothly until the University G Club began providing enterta ment at one of the gatherings. * - FOR ONE of their numbers, singers burst forth with "W Man of Borneo Has Come Town." As the words began- echo around the room, the usus well composed President Angell reported to have become visi disturbed.

A Grand Rapids sports writ- er phoned the Daily long dis- tance Friday night to declare McKennell signed the Rockets' contract. McKennell was not available for comment at the time. Yesterday the red - headed left winger said he had con- templated playing for the Jets, but changed his mind because it would take too much time from his school work. McKen- nell is a senior, majoring in Business Administration. City Election Decides Three GOP Contests A mere 2,000 voters went to the polls yesterday to select three Re- publican nominees for seats on the City Council. Of the two incumbent Republi- cans running, only William J. Saunders of the Fifth Wa'rd won his race. He defeated Morse B. Barker by the margin of 88 votes to 57.. In the Second Ward, Ronald E. Hinterman defeated incum- bent Clare H. Fenn and his oth- er opponent, Paul Koken. Charles C. Menefee defeated James F.

A packed house coughed seldom, laughed often, while Williams re- created the Dickens' folk for al- most three hours. ** OPENING WITH "Moving in Society," a parody on people who "rise at eight, shave at 8:15, break- fast at nine, office at ten, home at 5:30 and dinner at seven" and who think any country other than Eng- land is absolutely "nowhere," Wil- liams presented sketches in both a humorous and serious vein. Although the light touch was predominant, the mysterious tale of "The Signal Man" and the ominous episode, "The Fan- cy Ball" gave variety to the even- ing. Williams closed his perform- ance with the sentiment Dickens' used in Detroit, 85 years ago: "I've enjoyed this fireside party of 4,000 people." Backstage, during the 45 minutes' which Williams needs to apply makeup, put on the fantail beard! and false hairpiece and don com- plete Dickens' dress, he told The Daily that the theater would never cease to function, despite tele- vision and movies. Open Houses Attract 350 More than 350 rushees attended fraternity open houses yesterday and Sunday marking the opening of the formal spring rushing per- iod. According to C. A. Mitts, '54, Interfraternity Council Co-Rush- ing Chairman, the number of rushees is still increasing. Mitts said that the number of rushees is less than last spring, but he called this fact inconclusive since the number of fall rushees was a marked increase over previous years. IFC officials urged those who have not already signed up for rushing to do so in Rm. 1020 of the Administration Bldg. before 5 p.m. tomorrow.
