SEOUL-(AP)-U. S. Superforts
from Japan and Okinawa pounded
a prime Red Korean chemical
plant on the Manchurian frontier
for 22 hours early today and left
%t in flaming ruin.
Forty - eight Superforts made
their runs single file on the tar-
get through a web of searchlight
beams and blossoming clusters of
antiaircraft fire.
Tokyo headquarters said all
planes returned to their bases.

THE FAR EAST Air Forces sald
B-29& hit the sprawling Namsam
plant in Northwest Korea, 27 miles
northeast of Antung, for the first
time in the war. About 400 tons of
high explosives were dumped on
the target. Civilians had been
given an Allied warning to flee
4 the area.
Communist MIGs rose to make
a few non-firing passes at 'the
American bombers, fliers said.
However, Communist antiair-
craft fire from both the Korean
and the Manchurian sides of the
Yalu River was described as
thick.
On the ground,- Communist ar-
tillery thundered as never before,
pouring 47,312 rounds of mortars
and shells yesterday on Allied po-
sitions across the front.

A HIGHLY placed Eighth Army
officer told AP correspondent Rob-
ert Tuckman that Allied sources
believe there are 5,000 to 6,000 Rus-
sian troops in North Korea partic-
ipating in the war against the
United Nations, Earlier estimates
of 10,000 Russians were revised
downward, he said.
The officer, who asked not to
be identified, said that while the
Russians were not near the bat-
tle line where they would be in
danger of cap:to re, they were
serving in a "support capacity',
as technicians, advisors and
probably as crews for modern
radar . controlled antiaircraft
guns.
Also yesterday, at U. S. Eighth
Army Headquarters, a spokesman
for Gen. James A. Van Fleet said
nothing was known there about
reports the Eighth Army Com-
mander would be replaced.
IFC Passes
New Junior
Group Plan
The Interfraternity Council
house president's assembly voted
last night to establish a junior
IFC for this fall's pledge classes
on a one semester trial basis.
According to the bill's sponsor,
Alpha Delta Phi president Bob
Loeblein, '53, the purpose of the
council would be to coordinate
common pledge activities and to
get more men interested in the
regular IFC.
UNDER THE new proposal, IFC
vice-president Sandy Robertson,
'53BAd., will serve as the group's
chairman with IFC committee
chairmen acting as executive ad-
visors to the council.
The plan further provides for
the junior IFC officers, who will
be elected at the end of the fall
semester, to present a recom-
mendation concerning the body's
permanent status to the first
spring semester meeting of the
house president's assembly.
Dick Manchee, '54E, co-chair-
} man of the IFC-Panhel Counsel-
ing and Information Service, also
presented a report on the group's
study of Acacia's discriminatory
clause situation.
* * * ,
MANCHEE SAID that question-
naires had been sent to all Acacia
chapters last June inquiring as to
chapter and campus attitudes
about bias clauses. Although only
32 percent of the chapters re-
plied, he said the results had in-
formed Acacia's delegate to the
national convention of the opin-
ions he would expect to find there.

New Version of Bible Presented at Hill
4>
The Revised Standard Version
of the Holy Bible was presented
to approximately 3,000 people last
night in an impressive ceremony
in Hill Auditorium.
University President Harlan H.
Hatcher gave' the main address,
during which he commended Le-
roy Waterman, professor emeritus
of Semantics for his part in the
translation.
Death Takes
Former 'U'
Official at 78
John C. Christensen, controller
and assistant secretary emeritus
of the University, died at 11:50
a.m. yesterday at St. Joseph's Mer-
cy Hospital of cerebral thrombosis.
Christensen, 78 years old, came
to the University in 1914 as assist-
ant secretary, serving until 1931
when he was named controller,
a position he held until he retired
in 1944.
Previous to coming to Michi-
gan, he worked for Kansas State
Agriculture College and the
Carnegie Institute of Technolo-
gy.
Christensen also held appoint-
ments with the U.S. Bureau of Ed-
ucation, General Education Board
for colleges' accounting surveys,
National Commission on Standard
Reports for the Institutions of
Higher Education, and the Ameri-
can Council on Education.
Christensen received his bache-
lor of science degree from Kan-
sas State Agriculture College and
attended the University of Kan-
sas as a graduate student.
The author of various addresses
published in pamphlets, Christen-
sen was associate editor of the
Journal of Higher Education.
THE KING JAMES Bible, Pres.
Hatcher said, was a product of
two events, those being the desire
which arose during the Reforma-
tion to get the Bible translated in
the vernacular, and the language
revival of the Elizabethan writers.
The basis for the King James
Bible was the translation by Tyn-
dale made in 1525. Today's version
is 90 per cent the same in context
as that first translation he pointed
out.
Many discoveries that have
thrown new light on the earliest
manuscripts have been found so
that the material for the new
version are documents dating to
the third and fourth centuries
after Christ, the president said.
He went on to explain that '"the
work of a generation of scholars
has brought new meaning to 'the
often quoted passages." The liter-
ary form in the Old Testament has
been re-established, he stated. The
Hebrew poems found in the book

Petitions Due
Today is the deadline for sub-
mitting petitions for the vacan-
cy on the Board in Control of Stu-

So far only two petitions have
been received by SL president
Howard Willens '53. All interested
students should take their petitions,
by 5:00 p.m. today to the SL Bldg.,
512-S. State St.
The principle function of the
board is to serve in an advisory
capacity for financial and techni-
cal matters concerning the four
student publications: The Michi-
gan Daily, The Gargoyle, Michi-
ganensian, and Generation.
Selections for the vacancy will
be made by the SL cabinet and
three members of the board.

to comprehend their meanings.
Among the private translations
of the past century, Pres. Hatcher
was most impressed with the Good-
speed translation because of the
different language it uses. Good-
speed explained that his criteria
for terminology was present usage
of the language.
During the program, five Bibles
were presented to outstanding local
church people:Prof. Donald Katz,
chairman of the chemical engi-
neering department; Mrs. Arthur
Brandon, wife of the director of
University relations; Debra Town-
sand, '56; Mrs. Clara Parker and
Douglas Williams of the Dunbar
Center.
Meanwhile, protestant churches
throughout the nation united last
night for a celebration of the new
Bible. Special services were called
in 3,400 towns and cities across
the country.
The National Council of
Churches of Christ in the U. S. A.
estimated an attendance totaling
more than two million from 150
denominations.
"The occasion points ultimately
to what should prove to be the
greatest development of the cen-
tury for all Christendom," said
a Yale University Divinity School
professor.
U N May Urge
Korean Truce,
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. () -
The United States is discussing
with several close allies a double-
barreled plan for the U.N. Assem-
bly to urge the Communists to ac-
cept immediately an armistice in
Korea or risk a wider U.N. embar-
go and condemnation.
A diplomatic source in close
touch with the situation said yes-
terday the Americans are consid-
ering this course in the Assembly
opening Oct. 14:
1.Secretary of State Acheson
would put before the . Assembly
a resolution by which the Assemr
bly would express its approval of
the U.N. proposals at Panmunjom,
would urge the Communist Chi-
nese and North Koreans to ac-
cept them.
2. The Communists would be
given a reasonable time to an-
swer, perhaps after the U.S. pres-
idential election. If they do not
answer or if they reject the ap-
peal, the Americans want the As-
sembly to approve a resolution pro-
viding for stronger embargoes
against Communist China and
North Korea.

House Calls
CIA Head
To Testify
WASHINGTON (Ao)-House un-
American Activities Committee
decided yesterday to call Gen.1
Walter Bedell Smith for testimony
on what he knows about Commu-
nist infiltration in government
agencies.
The ainouncement came just
after Smith, chief of the super
secret Central Intelligence Agen-
cy, had backed a step further
away from his statement that he
believes Reds have penetrated ev-
ery American security agency in-
cluding his own CIA.
* * *
THE GENERAL, elaborating on
his original remarks, said merely
that it was necessary to "assume"
such a thing has happened.
At the same time Republicans
took up the testimony as a ma-
jor campaign issue.
A statement by Chairman John
S. Wood (D-Ga) of the House
committee, issued in Los Angeles,
said:
"The committee voted unani-
mously to subpoena Gen. -Walter
Bedell Smith, requiring him to ap-
pear before it Oct. 13, 1952, in
Philadelphia . . . to give the com-
mittee the benefit of any informa'-
tion of Communist infiltration into
agencies of the government of the
United States, especially his own."
In a question-and-answer ses-
sion with newsmen Smith made
a comment that Communists have
been pretty thoroughly eradicat-
ed in government."
National
Roundup
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Earl Browder,
once America's top Communist,
and his Russian-born wife were
suddenly and quietly seized yes-
terday by the FBI.
They were accused of lying about
Mrs. Browder's Communist back-
ground in 1949 while she was seek-
ing 'American citizenship.
WASHINGTON-Virtually all
the Southern soft coal industry
came to terms yesterday with
John L. Lewis and the few hold-
outs were given "a day or two"
exemption from strike action by
the United Mine Workers.
Acceptance of the union's
terms prevented a general strike
in Dixie mines. The strike had
been set for today, when the old
contract ends.
WASHINGTON-Rent control
ended at miidnight last night ex-
cept in cities and towns which
have asked to keep the curbs an-
other seven months and those list-
ed as critical defense housing
areas.
Book Sales
SL cash registers rang up a
record total of $3310 in sales
yesterday as the Student Book
Exchange officially closed.
The major problem confront-
ing the exchange this year was
not lack of customers but lack
of books. Sales soared $400 over
last semester.
Students are urged to pick up.
all unclaimed checks and books
from 3 to 5 p.m. today through
Friday at the SL Building, ac-
cording to book exchange offi-
cials. All unclaimed books will
become the property of SL.

Testimony
Backs Impartial
SecurityAgency
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-({k)-Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson yesterday is-
sued a statement obviously aimed
at preventing Gen. Dwight D.
Eisensower from making any poli-
tical capital out of Walter Bedell
Smith's assertion that he assumes
Communists have penetrated every
U. S. Security agency.
Smith, chief of the super-secret
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
so testified Monday on a Washing-
ton deposition hearing in the two
million tiollar libel-slander suit
filed by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
(R-Wis.) against Sen. William
Benton (D-Conn.).
STEVENSON,. the Democratic
presidential, nominee, said the end
result of Smith's testimony-and
of an amplifying statement Smith
put out later-it to "make ludi-
crous the claim of Republicans"
that the task of nabbing any Com-
munists in government "is a simple
job which can be done easily if it
is turned over to them" the Repub-
licans.
The governor's statement said:
"What this episode really shows
is that the problems of fighting
Communist penetration in gov-
erment is a job for our secur-
ity agencies anda job that never
ends"
The Illinois governor said a
highly professional, non-political
intelligence agency is indispen-
sable to the government, whether
a Republican or a Democrat is
president.
Gov. Stevenson will make a ma-
jor political address over the Col-
umbia Broadcasting System tele-
vision network from Detroit on
Oct. 7, CBS announced yesterday.
SDA Votes
Adlai Support
In its first meeting of the fall
semester last night the Students
for Democratic Action voted al-
most unanimously to endorse and
actively support the chief Demo-
cratic candidates, Adlai Stevenson
and Sen. John. Sparkman.
The national SDA convention
held earlier this month voted to
endorse the Den&ocratic national
candidates, which the local SDA
formally approved. -
As yet the organization has
not endorsed any of the local or
state candidates of either party.
Plans were made to cooperate
and actively work with the
Democratic party and the Vol-
unteers for Stevenson in cam-
paigning.
In an account of the national
convention it was reported that
Ted Friedman, '53, president of
the club, was elected to the na-
tional board of SDA.

Eisenhower
Raps Series
Of Rumors
Denies Brannan
Plan Connection
COLUMBIA, S.C. (M)-Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower swept into
the Southern states for the thiid
time yesterday and stirred wave
after wave of applause when he
said of the Truman regime:
"We have an administration
which may go down in history as
the scandal-a-day administra-
tion."
A CROWD estimated by Colum-
bia Police Chief L. J. Campbell
at. "nearly 50,000" massed in front
of the white pillared state capitol
to hear Eisenhower tear into the
Democrats on a wide front of cam-
paign issues.
He' opened his speech by not-
ing - and denying - what he
said are a series of rumors about
his intentions if elected.
He said a whispering campaign
has begun to the effect that, if
elected, he will close and other-
wise curtail military installations-
in the Southern states. Another re-
port, he said, is that he will cut
soldiers' and sailors' pay.
,' * *
EISENHQWER said the rumors
were'totally false. "Having been a
soldier all my life, it is foolish to
think I would do . anything to
weaken the security of the United
States."
Eisenhower hammered hard
on the theme of misconduct in
public office. He said that the
attitude of people involved is
"as bad or worse than the scan-
dals themselves."
While he repeated his policy for
a farm program, including 90 per
cent parity on basic commodities,
the general disavowed any connec-
tion with the Brannan plan.
"I am sure of one thing," he
said. "The Brannan Plan for the
regimentation of American agri.
culture was not cooked up among
the farmers of South Carolina or
any other state in the union."

Ike's Russian
Policy Blasted
By Truman
ABOARD - TRUMAN TRAIN (IP)
-President Truman char'ged yes,
terday that Gen. Dwight D. Ei-
senhower "did a great deal of
harm" to the United States with
his views on Russia immediately
after the second World War.
The President said the Republi-
can presidential nominee "ought
to be honest enough to admit his
blunders about the Russians." Ei-
senhower's views as commanding
general in Europe, Truman said,
left this country unaware of Rus-
sia's threat to world peace.
TRUMAN, carrying his whistle
stop campaign on behalf of Gov.
Adlai Stevenson across Montana
used a rear platform talk at Havre
to mount another barbed attack
against the GOP standard bearer.
Eisenhower headquarters at New
York declined to comment.
He declared that Eisenhower's
"foresight was not nearly as
good as his hindsight."
"After the war, while he- was
still commanding general of our
forces in Europe," Truman con-
tinued, "he said he saw no reason
why Russia and the United States
would not remain the closest pos-
sible friends."
If Eisenhower had given the
country "better advice in 1945,"
Truman said, "we wouldn't have
had too much trouble in waking
up the country to the danger of
Communist imperialism in 1946

The Joint Judiciary Council met
Monday for the first time this
semester to consider cases of stu-
dents charged with violation of
University regulations.
Composed of four members of
Men's Judiciary, four members
from Women's Judiciary and a
chairman, the Joint Council serves
as one of the student disciplinary
boards and represents the highest
level of combined student authori-
ty at the University.

The judiciary system is designed
to give students adequate oppor-

of fellow students. Members are
familiar with student problems and
represent all segments of the cam-
nus. Several are law students and
findings were approved by the
Sub-Committee on Discipline.
In the remaining cases discip-
