"Some. are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have
greatness thrust upon them-while some write best sellers."
According to the famous Scotch playwright James Bridie, this
switch on Shakespeare's well-known line tells the story of "Colonel
Wotherspoon, or, A Fourth Way to Greatness," opening at 8:30 p.m.
today at the Arts Theatre, 209% E. Washington St.

Begins Plans
For Policies
President Aids
In Formulation
By The Associated Press
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower al-
ready is shaping up a program for
taking over the immense power
and responsibility that his record-
breaking vote for president called
on him to assume.
The outline of this program
stands out from the messages al-
ready exchanged between Presi-
dent Truman and the President-
elect in the 60ahours since Eisen-
hower's election landslide over
Gov. Adlai Stevenson.
* * ,,
WEDNESDAY President Tru-
man invited Eisenhower to send a
representative to work with bud-
get director Frederick J. Lawton
in preparing the government oper-
ational budget. It will be submitted
to Congress in January, 1953.
Eisenhower followed up the
President's invitation with the
suggestion that President Truman
propose "other individuals for in-
doctrination in several different
departments"
As for himself, he accepted an
invitation to meet with the Pres-
ident and suggested early in the
week of Nov. 17 as the time.
Meanwhile, Eisenhower's run-
ning mate, Sen. Richard Nixon
returned yesterday to Washing-
ton from his home in California.
Nixon told reporters he expects
to resign his Senate seat before the
new Congress meets on Jan. 3.
This will allow Gov. Earl War-
ren of California to appoint a
man prior to Jan. 3 to take Nix-
on's place, and the appointee
thus will have seniority over the
new senators who were elected
Tuesday. In the Senate, where
Jos are decided on the basis of
seniority, this is important.
Warren said Wednesday night
he would appoint' some southern
California Republican.
Panel Speaks
On GOPWin
A panel of three, Jack Widick
of the CIO Political Action Com-
mittee, Professors Henry Bretton
and Marshall M. Knappen of the
political science department, dis-
cussed the causes and effects of
the Eisenhower landslide before
the Students for Democratic Ac-
tion last night.
Widick, a member of Detroit's
UAW, predicted a realignment of
parties with the liberal labor fac-
tion opposing the conservative
forces. He said the overwhelming
Republican victory was caused by
public dissatisfaction with the
status quo.
Attributing the election results
to Eisenhower's personality com-
bined with the need for leadership,
Prof. Bretton pointed out the dis-
appearance of the usual voting
blocs.
Faculty sponsor of the SDA,
Prof. Knappen, felt the Democrats
had over-intellectualized and over-
estimated the place of issues in
the campaign. He went on to say
that the common man is no longer
operating from economic motives
but is thinking in broader terms
because he no longer has to worry
about an empty stomach.

As a high point in the campus-
wide celebration of the Japanese
Festival this fall, WUOM will pre-
sent a series of broadcasts from
6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. today devoted
to Japanese arts, culture, politics,
and society.
Numerous University faculty and
student members, closely associat-
ed with Japan and the University
Center for Japanese studies at
Okayama; are participating in a
program which includes a modern
Japanese play, informal discus-
sions, and popular Japanese music
selections.
Top Dems
To Convene
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-(AP)-Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson and two top
Democratic party leaders will meet
here tomorrow to discuss the par-
ty's future and its high command.
An aide to Stevenson said last
night Stevenson will confer with
Wilson Wyatt and Stephen Mit-
chell. Wyatt was Stevenson's
campaign manager. .Mitchell is
Democratic national chairman.
The spokesman said they will
discuss the future of the Demo-
cratic National Committee "which
during the next four years be-
comes the focal point of the
party."
He said the talk undoubtedly
will touch on leadership of the
party. There has been speculation
on whether Stevenson will relin-
quish his claims to titular head ofn
the party, and exactly what role
President Truman will fill after
he retires from office Jan. 20.
Sea Defense
Zone Upheld
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The United
States firmly supported yester-
day, Gen. Mark Clark's creation
of a sea defense zone in Korean
waters and spurned a Russian pro-
test of it.
Thekzone was set up to prevent
attacks on the South Korean
coast, to secure allied lines of
communication and to prevent
the smuggling of contraband and
enemy agents into South Korean
territory.
Clark emphasized particularly
the need to prevent enemy agents
from reaching prisoner of war
camps set up on Korean islands.
Across the Pacific the battle in
the skies over Korea broke out
yesterday after a relative calm,
and U.S. Sabre pilots claimed one
Red MIG jet destroyed and 11
shot up in furious dogfights.
An unusual quiet on the front
was disturbed only by a futile
charge up Sniper Ridge in Central
Korea by 150 to 175 Chinese Com-
munists. They were cut to pieces
in a storm of artillery fire.
Death Ends Long
A TRANSCRIPT of the play,
"Lakeside Hotel" by Obayashi
Kiyoshi will open the radio festi-
val at 6:30 p.m. Broadcast a year
ago over several Japanese radio
stations, the story was translated
into English by Michiomi Suwabe
and recorded at the University
station.
Highlights of the campus fes-
tival, including the presentation
of cherry trees to the University
by his Excellency, the Japanese
ambassador, Eikichi Araki, will
be featured at 7 p.m.
Following this, American and
Japanese students will hold an
informal discussion concerning
social customs in Japan. This por-
tion of the program will be ended
when Edwin G. Burrows of WUOM
interviews Mrs. Frank E. Wood, a
leading authority on Japanese
flowers..
At 8 p.m. Prof. Joseph K. Yam-
agiwa, chairman of the depart-
ment of Far Eastern languages
and literatures, will join with Prof.
Frank L. Huntley, of the English
department, in an informal dis-
cussion of Japanese drama and
poetry. This will be followed by

Detroit Plans
To Win Prize
DETROftY-(P)-The city of De-
troit, which organized the Ballot
Battalion League to get out the
vote, thinks it has a good chance
of winning the pennant.
Through the mayor's office, the
local Ballot Battalion hurled a
challenge to seven other cities.
With the exception of Los Angeles,
which took the place of Washing-
ton, the cities are the same as the
ones in the American baseball.
league.
The total Detroit registration
was 988,307 and the best unoffi-
cial estimate of the total vote was
844,021. That figures out to about'
85.4 per cent.
But the final winner will be
based on official canvasses, and
they won't be completed for pos-
sibly a week or more.

played.
From 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Prof.
Mischa Titiev, of the anthropol-
ogy department and Mrs. Titiev

This is the first time that these
unusual recordings have been

High School
Heads Meet
Ex-Students
Students met with their former
high school principals yesterday
in freshman-principal conferences
in an attempt to find ways to im-
prove college preparatory courses
and freshmen relations at the Uni-
versity.
After talking with the students,
the principals claimed there was a
definite improvement in faculty-
freshman relations this year, Reg-
istrar Ira M. Smith said.
* * *
PRINCIPALS also reported that
during the conference they had
learned of many new services and
opportunities available to Univer-
sity students.
The teas, held informally at
residence halls were better at-
tended than those of former
years, Smith concluded.
The 24th annual Parent Educa-
tion Institute also held yesterday
was an informative two-day dis-
cussion of improvements in ele-
nentary and high school educa-
tion.
Sponsored by the University ex-
tension service and the Congress
of Parents and Teachers, the
panels and discussion - sessions
were attended by more than 500
PTA members and educators.
A panel on criticism of schools
and textbooks was held at the clos-
ing session.

PROCESSED COBALT:
'U' To Import Powerful
Source of Radioactivity
By VIRGINIA VOSS
The world's most powerful ex-
perimental gamma radiation
source known will be cautiously
moved across the Canadian bor-
.der to the University early in De-
cember.
Designated for use in Phoenix
Project research, the processed co-
balt's power is equal to that of ap-
proximately 10,000 grams of ra-
dium, several times the total world
supply of that element.
STATISTICALLY, the radioac-
tive cobalt supply consists of 100
rods one-fourth inch in diameter
an insecticide several times more
powerful than DDT.
Transportation of the valuable
material will involve few inter-
national difficulties, according to
Prof. Lloyd E. Brownell of the en-
gineering college. The prevailing
sentiment among officials who will
supervise the transfer of the co-
balt seems to be to "speed it on
its way as fast as possible," Prof.
Brownell said.
The cobalt is destined on arrival
here to live out its life of radio-
activity in armadillo-like protec-
tion. The glowing substance will be
