SEPTEMBER 26. 1952 SIX PAGES _ _9 , SIX PAGES Robeson Named To Speak Here Luce, Other Local Progressives In Race for Congress, State Jobs By DIANE DECKER Paul Robeson and Progressive presidential candidate Vincent Hallinan will be featured speakers at a rally Oct. 19 at the Ann Arbor Masonic Temple. The rally will be a highpoint in the campaigns of local Progressive candidates, among whom is former student David R. Luce. Luce is running. for U. S. Representative from the second district on the Progressive ticket.' .* * * s 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. With both the posts of president and- secretary vanted. V's net P. Dawson of the law school rep- resent the sentiments of a large 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 * * * Chicagoans 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. Request Probe In Dearborn DETROIT-(IP)-An investiga- tion into alleged governmental corruption in suburban Dearborn by a one-man grand jury was asked yesterday in a petition filed in Wayne County Circuit Court. Court. The petition, signed by six per- sons, was presented by Charles R. Wagner, an attorney and long- time foe of Dearborn's Mayor Orville Hubbard. Wagner said charges it contains were obtained in a six months' investigation. DAVE LUCZ indicated "reticence to tackle civil liberties and to take positive steps toward peace," according to Luce. He was one of five students rep- rimanded by the University in the McPhaul dinner investigation last spring. * s * THE PROGRESSIVE party plat-' form includes four major points: Immediate cease-fire in Korea.

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. ? * * I HISTORIC MACE-Prof. Warner Rice, acting chairman of the English department, is shown holding the mace made of wood from demolished University Hall, which will be used in today's Angell Hall addition dedication ceremony. * * New Angell, Hall A nnex' To Be DedicatedToday By HELENE SIMON Highlighting the opening of the massive new Angell Hall addition will be a short dedication ceremony at 5 p.m. today.

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. ISA Hears Student Leader Discuss JapaneseColleges By TERI YOUNGMAN "In contrast to the Michigan Student Legislature which is pri- marily interested in events which concern the student body on this campus, the Japanese student movement has turned its atten- tions to the national politics of the country" John Yashino, stu- dent government vice-president of I BRYAN TO SPEAK: 200 To Attend Press Club Meet Here 0' .F i More than 200 newspaper edi- tors from throughout the state are expected to attend the 35th an- nual meeting of the University Press Club of Michigan, to be held here today and tomorrOw.

"Although the student govern- ment in Japan began as a move- ment concerned with the self gov- erning of the campus, it has, since 1949, become controlled by a mi- nority of political leaders who have encouraged students to fo- met issues against the govern- 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- ed, "the National Student move- ment in Japan has reached a crucial point. The radical and liberal elements must meet soon, with the result that the move- ment will be either taken over by the communist minority or I -- - I I I I II
