THE FORMER CAMPUS Young Progressive is seeking office be-
cause he feels that neither Republican incumbent George Meader nor
9Democratic candidate Prof. John
Stevenson
Club Draws
Big Crowd
More than 100 avowed Steven-
son supporters, independents and
even a few Republicans, jam-pack-
ed to the door, attended the first
Citizens for Stevenso'n meeting
last night at the Union.
With the attentive audience'
closely crowding him on all sides,
Prof. Preston Slosson of the his-
tory department spoke on "The
Man from Illinois."
PROF. SLOSSON said the main
task of the Democrats is to make
Stevenson and his merits known,
because he is running against one
of the "best known human beings
in the world."
After giving a brief biographi-
cal sketch of Stevenson the
Democratic professor went on to
tell the candidate's stand on the
vital issues of the campaign.
One of the strangest events in
political history was Stevenson's
sincere battle against his nomi-
nation, he said.
Prof. Slosson considered one of
the keys to Stevenson's campaign
the fact that he had made no
pork-barrel campaign promises to
the nation's pressure groups.
Following his speech the
white-haired history professor
answered questions from the
audience, many of them posed
by anti-Stevenson listeners.
The organization then unani-
mously approved the constitution
which is conspicuously brief be-
cause the group plans to disband
after the election.
Al Blumrosen, '53L, was unan-
imously elected as president of
the newly formed organization.
The other officers are Robert Pick,
'54L, vice-chairman; Blue Car-
stenson, Grad., executive secre-
tary; Leonard Sandeweiss, '53
treasurer; and Dorothy Myers, '55,
recording secretary.

Fall Campaign
Work Planned
By YD Group
With a significant political
month ahead of them, campus
Young Democrats got off to a fast
start last night in moves to en-
dorse national convention action,
get a prominent list of speakers
here and do some "inglorious"
campaign work.
The group of nearly 50 YD's vot-
ed to let their executive committee
and interested students submit to
party authorities a list af speakers
for a possible Democratic "field-
day" on campus. Gov. G. Men-
nen Williams, Sen. Blair Moody,
Prof. John Dawson of the Law
School and New York's Averill
Harriman were mentioned as
speakers for the suggested pro-
gram.
URGING YD'S to help get out
p a "potentially large Democratic
vote" in this area, Washtenaw
County Democratic campaign
manager Jim Green called for pre-
cinct workers and headquarters
staff members.
In a strong majority vote,
YD's decided to "unequivocally
adopt the Democratic platform
and support party candidates"
for national offices and Michi-
gan posts.

P. Dawson of the law school rep-

segment of the local populace.
Shortly before the State Pro-
gressive party convention, a
questionnaire was sent to Daw-
son by Luce and others. His ans-
wers, which "equalled those of a
Southern Dixiecrat," persuaded
Luce to run.
In reply to the questionnaire,
Dawson said he did not favor re-
peal of the Smith Act, under which
Communists and other left-wing
groups are being investigated, and

Reveal Gifts
From, Adlai
Fund Defended
By Stevenson
CHICAGO (P)-A university law
professor whom Gov. Adlai E.
Stevenson appointed to the Illi-
nois Supreme Court said yester-
day that Stevenson gave him a
$500 Christmas check in 1950 while
he was serving as non-salaried
chairman of the state Little Hoov-
er Committee.
Justice Walter V. Schaefer said
he was drawing full salary from
Northwestern University while
working with the committee that
year. But he said the committee
work took up so much of his time
he had to pass up other non-uni-
versity work which had been sup-
plementing his salary for "a num-
ber of years."
*- * *
ANOTHER official, Fred K.
Hoehler, director of the Illinois
Welfare Department, said last
night he received two mnetary
gifts from Gov. Stevenson but he
declined to disclose their size.
In addition, Chicago insur-
ance executive, Herman Dunlap
Smith, said that "two or three"
of Stevenson's close personal
friends contributed a total of
between $500 to $1,000 to the
governor's special salary-sup-
plementing Fund.
Stevenson has said he used the
fund to attract certain competent
men from private life to lower-
paying state jobs.
The governor contends it
would be "a breach of faith" to
name the officials receiving
such gifts.
But later the Democratic nomi-
nee's campaign manager, Wilson
Wyatt, told reporters Stevenson is
planning a "further statement"
about the pay-supplementing
fund.
Roster Sales
Still Illegal
Students Told
Both city and University regula-
tions prohibit students from sell-
ing football rosters on game days
unless a local license is obtained or
special arrangements are made
with the athletic department to
sell regular souvenir programs.
Under City Ordinance 94, the
sale of programs o souvenirs or
any vending on city streets is pro-
hibited on football days. The only
legal way to sell programs under
city laws is to rent a piece of
property and obtain a transient
trader license from the City Clerk's
office.
* * *
SEVERAL students selling ten-
cent rosters were arrested by po-
lice last year for failing to comply
with the license requirement.
Under University rulings, the
office of Student Affairs stated
that it is their established policy
to deny individual requests to
sell programs on University
property.
Regular souvenir programs are
sold inside the stadium grounds
by members of athletic activities,
including the 'M' Club, chosen by
coaches of the athletic depart-
ment.
Surprise!
TORONTO (M)--Gold valued
at $300,000 vanished Wednes-
day night from an air cargo
shed at nearby Malton Airport
while awaiting shipment by
plane to Montreal.
Police said the treasure ap-
parently had been left un-
guarded but padlocked in a
wire-mesh safey vault.
HST Silent
Over .Nixon
Fund Issue
WASHINGTON--)-President
Truman, declining to be drawn
into discussion of the Nixon or
Stevenson funds, said yesterday he
still thinks all top salaried gov-
erriment officials, including mem-
bers of Congress, should be re-
quired to file full public state-
ments of their income.
The President was asked at his
news conference whether he
agreed with Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower, the Republican presiden-
tial nominee, that Sen. Richard
M. Nixon had completely vindi-
cated himself.
* * *
TRUMAN said he had no com-
ment. He hadn't heard Nixon's
defense, he said.
In response to another ques-
tion, Truman said reporters
would just have to wait and see
whether, in the campaign tour
he is scheduled to embark upon
tomorrow, he touches on the
privately-raised expense fund
for the California senator who
is Eisenhower's running mate.
Truman also had a no comment
reply when asked whether he
thought Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the
Democratic presidential nominee,
should make public the names of
contributors to a fund Stevenson
has said he employed to supple-
ment salaries of Illinois state em-
ployes.
He also had no light to shed
on a statement attributed by
ex-tax official T. Lamarr Caudle
to J. Howard McGrath, former
attorney general, that Mc-
Grath had enough informa-
tion on the White House to
blow it so high that gravity
would never briig it down
again. Truman said McGrath
did not take him into his con-
fidence.
As the President prepared to
embark tomorrow night on a 15
day, 24 state campaign tour, a
Washington man sought a court
order yesterday to halt the whis-
tle-stop trip and direct the Presi-
dent. to stay home and attend to
business.

Eisenhower Hits
Admninistration's
mMilitaryPolicies
By The Associated Press
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower opened a blistering attack on the
nation's military program in Baltimore last night in which he called
unification of the armed services a virtual failure.
He appeared also, to have shelved his support of universal mili-
tary training while the draft is a'"famine or feast" policy toward
the military which has encouraged a frenzied arms expansion with
"disorder and duplication and waste"
ENDING A DAY of whistle-stopping through West Virginia and
Maryland, Eisenhower said real unification of the armed forces
has not yet been achieved. ? * *

And he said that so long as
there is a draft of young men
into the armed services "we can-
not at the same time establish
any form of training for our
young men."
Previously Eisenhower has been
an advocate of universal military'
training and of putting it into ef-
fect despite the difficulties in-
volved.
This pronouncement seemed to
put Eisenhower directly in line!
with the views that have been ex-
pressed by Republican Sen. Rob-
ert A. Taft of Ohio on this subject.
* * *
INDIRECTLY but unmistak-
ably, Eisenhower voiced sharp
criticism of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, which is now headed by
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, an old
friend and one of his top com-
manders in World War II.
Eisenhower said that so-called
unification of the armed ser-
vices has produced more and
not less competition among the
branches.
The general who - until his
resignation from the Army - was
in intimate- touch with the mili-
tary situation in this country de-
clared that "our defense program
need not and must not push us
steadily toward economic col-
lapse."
He said the program had suf-
fered from what he called a "lack
of farsighted direction."
He put the blame more on the
political level.
* * *
MEANWHILE, in Racine, Wis-
consin last night Sen. Robert A.
Taft said the only way the nation
can stop the trend toward totali-
tarianism in government is to elect
Eisenhower and Nixon and a dom-
plete Republican Congress.
"If you want to reject the
theory of arbitrary power in
government vote Republican in
November," he told a cheering,
overflow crowd of 1,700 at a
Racine GOP rally.
Taft also urged "as strongly as,
I can, that you re-elect Sen. Jo-
seph McCarthy."
McCarthy, who won Republican
renomination Sept. 9, spoke briefly
and also plugged for Eisenhower
and Nixon.
Nixon Blasts
Stevenson's
State Fund
By The Associated Press
The Republican high command
put the Nixon incident behind it
yesterday and launched into a
counterattack , by taunting that
Gov. Adlai Stevenson has "some-
thing to hide" unless he explains
a special fund he sponsored for
state employees.
Meanwhile, Sen. Richard Nixon,
roaring back into the campaign
with a new vigor after his party's
vote of confidence, dubbed Gov..
Stevenson "the chlorophyll can-
didate."
"TO PUT IT bluntly," Nixon
said in a statement, "there is a
smelly mess in Washington."
Nixon's advisor's declared ear-
lier that from "here on in he
expects to take the offensive
against the Democrats who de-
manded his resignation from
the GOP ticket."
Gen. 'Eisenhower and Chairman
Arthur E. Summerfield both came
out in defense of Sen. Nixon claim-
ing that the fund matter was a
closed book.
Carrying out the same theme
in state politics, Fred M. Alger,
Jr., Republican candidate for gov-
ernor declared yesterday that the
Democrat's criticism of the Nixon
fund is in line with the "left wing
rule book" prescription of "knock
him down and get the people's
minds off these things he's talk-
ing about."
Rep. Charles E. Potter, GOP
candidate for senator, went off
on a different tack yesterday by
declaring that the "atmosphere of
war which enshrouded us through
three Democratic administrations
will begin to dissappear next Jan-
uary." The speech opened a two
day campaign tour of the Eighth
Congressional District.

Kyoto University in Japan said
last night in an address to the
local International Student As-

"Although the student govern-

1949, become controlled by a mi-
nority of political leaders who
have encouraged students to fo-

ment," the visitor from Japan
stated.
THERE ARE many reasons
which have led to this unrest in
Japanese students, but Yashino
feels the most important is the
low economic standards in the
country.
"At this time," Yashiro assert-
