Proposed by Janet Netzer, '53, the postponement motion was later amended to set a two week deadline on presentation of the report to SL in order that it be ready for the November Regents' meeting. A further amendment recommended that the Legislature make every effort to obtain faculty and -Daily-Don Campbell DREW PEARSON AND DAILY MANAGING EDITOR CRAWFORD YOUNG * * * * On Tender Toe's By CAL SAMRA Daily Editorial Director Key-hole columnist Drew Pearson, taking a jam-packed Hill Auditorium audience for a ride on the "Washington Merry-Go-Round," stepped on a number of sore toes last night. Keynoting the 1952-53 Oratorical Association Lecture Series, Pearson crossed unsparingly across party lines, applying his journal- istic whip to both Republicans and Democrats, including President Truman, "Deep-freeze" Harry Vaughn, Illinois Boss, Jake Arvey, Senator Nixon, Senator McCarthy and Arthur Summerfield. * * * * THOUGH THE NOTED SLEUTH refused to divulge how he would vote in November (he lives in the District of Columbia), many ob- servors felt the speech had a decided bent in favor of Gov. Stevenson. Reason: Pearson built up a good portion of his speech to the conclusion that General Eisenhower has become a "bit of a political prisoner." He said that the General, whom he urged to run in 1948, is no longer surrounded by the men who were in- strumental in nominating him-namely, Gov. Dewey, Sen. Lodge, and Paul Hoffman. "Eisenhower's advisers are now largely 'middle-of-the-roaders,' Pearson maintained, "while Summerfield (GOP national chairman) is inclined towards Senator Taft's views." PEARSON ALSO CRITICIZED Eisenhower's endorsement of Sen- ators McCarthy and Jenner. "If Ike loses," he emphasized, "it will be because he has embraced 'certain candidates.' In politics, friendship is important, but I think it can be carried too far." He mentioned President Truman in this respect. Though Pearson claimed that Eisenhower "lacks an under- standing of domestic problems," he said the General is deeply concerned with the problem of peace. As regards Stevenson, Pearson said little, other than his obser- vation that "the Governor has courage and government know-how" and that "Stevenson bosses his own show." But he had quite a bit to say about Harry S. Truman, with whom he has had a number of vitriolic feuds. Said Pearson at one point: "For 12 long years, we had the champion of the common man in the White House-and now we have the common man." (In an earlier interview Pearson declined to climb out on a limb on the outcome of the presidential election. "It's really too close," he complained. "I'd say 50-50 right now." However, he did pre- dict the re-election of Sen. McCarthy.) AS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL situation, the Washington sooth- sayer told the Hill audience that the United States is "not in dan- ger of immediate war-as long as Stalin is alive." But he warned that things may be different if and when a war-like clique of the Premier's comrades succeed him. In a later question-answer period, Pearson was queried as to whether he thought Paul Robeson, Progressive Party institution, should be allowed to speak in Ann Arbor. The columnist replied: "I don't know whether Robeson is a Communist. But we must protect the right of a person to speak- unless he is a proven Communist." Reds Urge Korean War Talks in UN UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(AP-) Russia's Andrei Gromyko yester- day demanded first priority con- sideration of the Korean War is- sue by the United Nations. His surprise move came as ,Sec- retary of State Acheson worked orb a policy speech said to contain a watered-down section on Korea. * * * GROMYKO proposed in the As- sembly's Steering Committee that the Korean item be put first on the list of subjects to be considered by the 60-nation Political Com- mittee, where Acheson himself is expected to handle the Korean debate for the United States. Lester B. Pearson of Canada, Assembly president and chair- man of the Steering Committee, said each committee would de- cide the order of its own busi- ness, and Gromyko let it go at that. The Russian delegate did not tip Moscow's hand further than to show that the Russians want the politically - charged Korean question debated immediately-be- fore the Nov. 4 presidential elec- tion in the United States. Gromyko did not mention the elections but the schedule he advocated means Korea would come up in a few days. UN Halts Two Red HillTries SEOUL-( P)-U.

Today is the deadline for turning in all material for con- sideration at this meeting, and a five-page brief had been prepared for submission. SL member-at-large Roger Wilkins, '53, who was in charge of securing campus backing for the motion and had helped write the brief, was vehemently opposed to the re-evaluating pro- posal. He reported that he had con- sulted with numerous faculty members who told him that the specific motion 'was SL's problem, although they might agree in prin- ciple with its aims. Wilkins, who had hoped to get the spring motion on the Regents' October agenda, asserted that the proposal has as much chance to pass now as it ever will. Members who backed last night's plan questioned whether the motion of last spring would have any chance of passing the Regents. Emphasizing that it might be better to work for more limited goals, Lee Fiber, '54, added that plans such as those proposing vot- ing student members on the Lec- ture Committee should get ser- ious consideration. *, . CENTERS OF last night's con- flict was the policy relative to the Committee passed by the legisla- ture last May 21. The SL program provided that: 1) Campus organizations, fully recognized by the Student Af- fairs Committee, be free to spon- sor speakers of their choice, and that rooms be assigned to speak- ers on an equal basis with no political or other discrimination. 2) Each group before sponsoring such speeches must inform the Lecture Committee of the pro- posed talk and submit a signed statement that the speaker will not advocate violent overthrow of the government and that the meet- ing will be orderly. 3) If the speaker does advocate violent overthrow of the govern- ment or the meeting becomes riot- ous, the sponsoring group will have a Joint Judiciary hearing with the Joint Judiciary Council recommending disciplinary. ac- tion to the University Sub-Com- mittee on Discipline. AN ADDITIONAL motion of the same date instructed the SL to get all available student, faculty and administrative support before submitting the plan to the Re- gents. Since the spring semester end- ed a few weeks later, little could be done on the proposal at that time. At the beginning of the fall term Wilkins was put in charge of the project. Letters were sent out within the last few days to all campus housing units asking each group to consider the SL plan and re- port its vote immediately to the Legislature. SL members hoped that consid- erable documentary support could be whipped up within the next few days and added to the brief. How- ever there was some feeling that this action was too hasty to have any positive effect. Senior Pictures' Deadline Advanced Senior picture appointments for the 'Ensian have been extended until Oct. 24, it was announced.

It is urged 'that the entry blanks be turned in if the houses wish their displays to be judged. Next week the houses will be notified of the approximate time of the judging. Adlai's Talk ScornsTat Old Guiard By the Associated Press Gov. Adlai Stevenson said last night in San Francisco that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has round- ed up a team of "isolationists and cut-throat reactionaries," quarter- backed by GOP Sen. Robert A.! Taft of Ohio. Heaping ridicule and scorn on his Republican opposition, the Democratic presidential nominee swatted hard at a favorite target -what he calls the Old Guard, around Eisenhower, his rival forI the White House. * * * HE SAID the group is made up of "stubborn, obstinate men . . who have had to be dragged, Gov. Adlai Stevenson will broad- cast at 10:30 p.m. today on the CBS network. screaming and kicking, into the 20th century." In a speech prepared for de- livery at the Cow Palace Audi- torium, Stevenson said he has a hunch "that a lot of people, Republicans and independents, have decided that it is indeed time for a change-to the Demo- cratic ticket." Meanwhile, Gen. Eisenhower flew into New York last night aft er a blazing Southern campaign drive in which he voiced both a warning and a pledge concerning the country's dollar-and-cents po- sition if he is elected president. THE WARNING: "If we were suddenly cut off from the rest of the world our entire agriculture and industrial economy would col- lapse." The pledge: "We are not going to see the breadlines again. We have pledged the full power of government to prevent a de- pression."~ * * * * T3,500 Turn Out To Hea GPSec Says U.S. Losing World's Suppor -Daily-Jeff Pemberton SEN.

Richard Nixon yesterday told a local audience that the United States has lost its military supremacy, its monopoly on the atom bomb and its favor with the peoples of the world due to the bungling of the Truman admin- istration. More than 3,500 people turned out to hear the - GOP vice-presi- dential candidate deliver a 20- minute address from the rear- platform of his campaign train. Students and townspeople clus- tered together in raw, 40 degree weather to see the first major elec- tion contender to visit Ann Arbor in this campaign. SEN. NIXON claimed that at the end of the recent war, the worldwide sentiment toward the U.S. was nine to one for, as op- posed to present sentiment of five to three against. He said he did not know "whether to attribute this to doubtful loyalties in the State department, to stupidity or to honest mistakes in judgment." The genial candidate felt that the major source of trouble was inadequate leadership in Washing- ton and pointed with pride to the record of -his running-mate Dwight Eisenhower. "Eisenhower is a great man in every sense of the word," he con- tended. "No man in the world is better able to combat Commu- nism."- We can be internally and mili- tarily strong and still lose this bat- tle," he maintained. "The great problem is to win the battle for the minds and hearts of men, and Eisenhower is the ,man who can best do this." SKIPPING from one theme to another in his brief address, Nix- on said that he has often been asked whether he favors the teach- ing of Communism in U.S. col- leges. "My answer is always yes," he continued. "Teach the truth about Communism and the American students and people will know what to do about it." Immediately after Nixon was in- troduced by Rep. George Meader, several people in the audience struck up a chant, "We want Pat," and attractive Mrs. Nixon joined her husband on the platform. She was presented with an orchid cor- sage by a local school girl. ** * NIXON DREW laughs from the crowd when he told about receiv- ing letters asking, "Why doesn't Pat run? She'd get all the votes." He was accompanied on his campaign train by many State " GOP candidates, including local incumbent Rep. Meader, guber- natorial candidate Fred Alger and senatorial candidate Charles Potter, who anounced that he would speak here Oct. 28. The train pulled into Ann Arbor about ten minutes late after an emergency stop slightly east of the city when the brakes on one of the cars jammed. Nixon's audi- ence was mannerly, although many people protested that the train stopped too close to the station to allow everyone to see. Before Nixon arrived, a local GOP leader estimated that the crowd was larger than it.had been for Gov. Tom Dewey of New York in 1948 and only slightly smaller than the turnout for Wendell Wil- kie in 1940. TheCalifornia Senator struck a local note early in his talk when he remarked, "We don't mind your hnatin n,,.fnnhn l - - - - .e - w 1 x Union Opera Final tryouts for Union Op- era will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. today in Rm. 3-G of the Union.

MEMBERSHIP LISTS: YP's See Little Harm Marx Society Airs Theories Theoretical aspects of Marxism were aired by members of the Karl Marx Society last night at the newly formed study group's first meeting. The discussion centered mostly around Marx's economic prin- ciples, and included comparison of his theories with those of Adam Smith. Marx's doctrine was also traced back to Hegel and Ricardo. Earlier in the meeting the group adopted a constitution and chose as its officers, Bob Schor, Grad., chairman; Howard Wolfe, '54, vice In New SAt By ALICE BOGDONOFF Members of the Young Progres- sives said yesterday that they for- see no drop in club membership as a result of the Student Affairs Committee's ruling Tuesday that political clubs must submit mem- bership lists touthe University for permanent records. The SAC ruling was a with- drawal of a rule it had passed in May 1948 at the request of the Young Progressives. The '48 rule stated that "membership in poli- tical groups shall not be released except by specific request of the individual student concerned. MARGE BUCKLEY, '54, presi- dent of the YP's called the 1948 ruling "extra protection," but, did not see this as "really necessary." C R-ling more firm stand or be silenced for good." Miss Buckley ,claimed that the reason the YP's would like their lists kept confidential is that "em- ployees might be prejudiced by YP membership." "We don't object to the files be- ing open to government security agencies like the FBI," she said, "because the Young Progressive Club is not a subversive organiza- tion." * *k* ED SHAFFER, Grad., YP mem- ber was more intense in his re- action.
