Velde Admits
tErroneous
Aecusation
Declares 'Honest
Mistake' Made
WASHINGTON-(P)-Chairman
Veldei (R-Ill.) of the House Un-
American Activities Committee
said yesterday he made an "hon-
est mistake" in accusing Agnes
E. Meyer of writing a liro-Rus-
sian letter to a Soviet publica-
tion.
Mrs. Meyer is the wife of Eu-
gene Meyer, board chairman of
the Washington Post. Investiga-
tion disclosed that another wo-
man wrote the letter.
REP. VELDE issued a statement
blaming his error on a case of mis-
taken identity stemming from
complexities in translating the
Russian language.
The Illinois lawmaker said he
has "taken steps throuph ap-
propriate disciplinary action
against the employe responsible"
for giving him the erroneous
data..
Rep. Velde's statement came
more than 24 hours after Mrs.
Meyer accused him of spreading
"reckless, irresponsible and false
utterances" and declared he de-
clined to make a retraction "even
when confronted with the truth."
* * *!
MRS. MEYER said Rep. Velde
was informed last Tuesday night,
after he had made his accusation,
that the actual writer of the let-
ter was Mrs. G. S. Mayer of Port
Clements, British Columbia.
In Ports Clements, Mrs. Mayer,
wife of a retired rancher, said she
and her husband wrote the letter
"I don't know how long ago" to
the New York headquarters of a
magazine called "Soviet Russia
Today."
Rep. Velde's retraction followed
a few hours after the Washington
Post carried a story on its front
page yesterday morning under
headlines declaring "Congressman
Declines to Retract: Mrs. Meyer
Exposes Falsehood in Attack on
Her by Rep. Velde."

By DAVE BAAD
Still smarting from last week-
end's futile invasion of Minneapol-
is, Michigan's slumping hockey
steam returns to the Coliseum1 to-
night to open a crucial two game
series with the league leading
North Dakota Sioux.
The game starts at 8 p.m.
SUFFERING FROM their worst
goal famine of the season and
rapidly fading hopes of repeating
as NCAA champions, the Wolver-
ines must win both tonight and
tomorrow night to remain in the
running for the Midwest Hockey
League title.
At present Vic Heyliger's
hockey sextet is occupying foutrh
place, a full five points behind
the joint occupants of the sec-
ond position, Denver and Min-
nesota, and seven points in the
arrears of league leading North
Dakota.
If Michigan sweeps the two game
set, it will be in an excellent posi-
tion to move into one of the top
two spots since its remaining
games are with the league's bot-
tom two clubs, Michigan Tech
and Michigan State.

In Transition
The transition between Truman
and Eisenhower adminilrations
in Washington has been relatively
smooth and speedy, Rowland Eg-
ger, '33, Associate Director of the
Public Administration Claring
House, told a special seminar last
night.
Egger, in a talk sponsored by
the American Society for Public
Administration, credited both ad-
ministrations with responsibility
for the comparatively efficient
changeover.
* * *
THIS GIANT task was carried
out more effectively than it was
in 1933, despite a vast increase in
governmental size and complexity
in the interim period, he pointed.
out.
The dangerous shock of
change was cushioned, Egger
asserted, by a systematic pre-
paration of information in both
parties. Such planning was
made possible by improved gov-
ernment machinery.
As contributing factors to a
more effective transition, he cited
improved public understanding of
political and public issues, and a,
tense international situation which
demanded the cooperation neces-
sary to a smooth changeover.
But there are still areas of gov-
ernmental organization which re-
quire improvement, Egger em-
phasized. One such, he said, is
the Department of Defense. ,
Members of the Joint Chiefs ofc
Staff, he claimed, are sometimes
more interested in promoting in-I
terests of their own service branch
rather than cooperation for na-
tional defense.

tween an oil painting and an etch-

TWO OF the compositions to be
played in the 13th annual Festival
are modern: Quincy Porter's String
Quartet No. 8 (1950) and Hinde-
mith's String Quartet in E-flat
major (1943).
Considered among the finest
in the interpretation of chamber
music, the Quartet consists of
first violinist Joseph Roisman,
second violinist Jac Gorodetzy,
violincellist Mischa Schneider
and violist Boris Kroyt.
Tonight the Quartet will play
Mendelssohn's String Quartet in
E-flat major, Op. 12, Quincy Por-
ter's String Quartet No. 8 and
Beethoven's String Quartet in A
minor, Op. 132.
Tomorrow's program will in-
clude Dittersdorf's String Quar-
tet in D major, Debussy's String
Quartet in G minor, Op. 10, and
Schubert's String Quartet in G
major, Op. 161.
The program for Sunday will be
Haydn's String Quartet in C ma-
jor, Op. 76, No. 3, Hindemith's
String Quartet in E-flat major and
Beethoven's String Quartet in B-
flat major, Op. 130.

The Nodaks commenced the

Administrative
Reorganization
President Eisenhower faces a
unique situation of overall admin-
istrative and managerial changes
now that he has taken office, Prof.
James K. Pollock, chairman of
the political science department,
said last night.
Beginning the new lecture series
dealing with the problems con-
fronting the new administratiqn,
Prof. Pollock outlined the basic
problems of organization faced by
the executive branch of govern-
ment.
*: * *
"IT HAS BEEN well over 20
years since the Republicans have
had control of the legislative and
executive branch of government.
Now the two and a half million
federal employes will have to
change loyalties to fit a Repub-
lican administration," he said.
Added to this shift of loyal-
ties on the part of the employes,
Eisenhower will need strong top
coordination. Prof. Pollock
showed the need to take a bet-
ter advantage of the services of
the members of the cabinet and
to combine jobs more efficiently.
With an organization as large as
the White House staff, coordina-
tion of the managerial jobs will
also be necessary, Prof. Pollock
continued.
As suggested by, the Hoover
Commission, of which Prof. Pol-
lock was an active member, he
cited the need for a staff secre-
tary "To see who's doing what
at what time, because now we
never know."
PROF. POLLOCK also advised'
reorganization of overseas person-
nel.
"The administration of our
policy abroad reflects our dis-
organization in Washington and
overlapping authority and over-
staffing lessen our effectiveness
in the eyes of other nations," he
said.
"The Republicans in Congress
are still suffering from an oppo-
sition attitude which they will
have to overcome before they can
give their President the coo'pera-
tion he needs," Prof. Pollock con-

ACCORDING TO May, present
plans will probably prove inade-
quate in the light of changes in
administration and student opin-
ion during the five year interim,
and may have to be completely'
reformulated.1
Details of the estimated three
million-dollar wing were releas-
ed by Union officials in March,
1952.
Before beginning the larger
building program, May suggested
that it would be necessary to pro-
vide space for present Union of-
fices and activities during the re-
modeling by building a floor over
the swimming pool on the first
floor level.
ORIGINAL planning of the six-
ty foot extension to the north of
the existing Union building was

License Still
On Suspension
In a hearing yesterday afternoon
Mayor William E. Brown decided
to continue the suspension of the
peddler's license of Roderick
Daane, '54L, sandwich distributor.
"The license suspension will be
effective until Daane can set up an
establishment that will meet san-
itation requirements," Dr. Otto K.
Engelke, Health Department Dir-
ector, said.
Official attention was focused
on Daane last week when about
43 men suffered from gastro-intes-
tinal upsets after eating his sand-
wiches.
The Health Department under
Dr. Engelke's supervision is draw-
ing up an amendment to the city
ordinance on peddler's licenses.
The proposed amendment, which
will be recommended at the next
City Council meeting, will call for
sanitation investigations of food
peddlers applying for licenses.

been lack of building materials
due to the-University's heavy use
of materials in its building pro-
gram on other sections of the
campus.
Chief features of the proposed
building program would be com-
plete remodeling of the service fa-
cilities at the rear of the building,
enlarged cafeteria space and in-
creased student activity area.
The present Union building was
built in 1918 with money collected
by popular subscription from stu-
dents and alumni.

' Dulles and Bradley covered the
whole field but pointed in par-
ticular to three major trouble
spots.
They were Korea and Indochina,
scenes of actual fighting against
the Communists, and Iran, "where
anything could happen anytime."
The Administration fears the
Communists will take over Iran

Rid gway Wins "
Funds Battle
For Defense
PARIS-(P)-Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway won his battles yesterday
for the funds for the 1953 mili-
tary construction program he had
laid out for European defense.
Lord Ismay, British secretary
general of the North Atlantie
Treaty Organization, said the 14-
man NATO Council had approved
an additional allocation of 224
million dollars for construction
of airbases, jet fuel pipelines, com--
munications systems and head-
quarters installations in Western
Europe this year.
At its meeting last December,
the Council balked at the request
of Ridgway, NATO supremefcom-
mander, for a minimum of 428

million dollars and sliced it to 224
million dollars, or almost half.
The 224 million alloted last De-
cember and the 224 approved to-
day add up to 448 million, or 20
million more than Ridgway had
asked as a minimum in order to
acquire property, prepare plans
and get the wheels rolling on pro-
jects during good construction
weather in spring and summer.
