Special to The Daily
NEW YORK - A four-motored
Scandanavian Airlines Constella-
tion began winging its way Sun-
day from New York's Idlewild Air-
port eastward into the closing
dusk.
Aboard were three experienced
college newspaper editors-includ-
ing The Daily's former Feature
Editor Zander Hollander - all
moving closer.with each turn of
the propellor to the story of a life-
time.
Their destination: Moscow.
HOLLANDER, whose reporting
and editorial work on The Daily
won campus-wide note during his
four years at the University, was
accompanied by Marl Edmond,
former editor of the University of
Colorado Daily, and Daniel Berger,
editor of the Oberlin College Re-
view.
Yesterday the trans-Atlantic
airliner settled down in Moscow.
Today, the three reporters,
equipped with visas from the
Soviet Embassy in Washington,
begin their travels behind the
Iron Curtain with unrestricted
travel permits and permission
to photograph freely.
The project was initiated ast
April by the editorial board of the
Queens College Crown, a student
weekly at the New York Municipal
College.
Inspiration for the Moscow trip
was an earlier tour of Russia by
a group of American editors and
publishers.
Reports by these editors gained
space in newspapers all over the
country and served as a fairly
controversial report of what was
going on inside Russia.
Sixteen college and university
newspapers agreed to participate
out of 90 the Queens paper
polled.
Of these only seven decided to
apply jointly to the Russian Em-
bassy in Washington for visas.
For five months nothing hap-
pened the plan wa almost writ-
ten off as a lost cause.
* s .
THEN ON AUGUST 31 came
this ;terse message from I. Saev-
chenki, chief Russian Counsul:
"With reference to your appli-
cation for a visa to go to the
Soviet Union we would like to
advise you that the visa will be
issued to you immediately upon

ON CAMPUS the total enroll-
ment figure swelled nearer to a
predicted 17,500 students, 600 more
students than were enrolled in
the University last spring.
The still incomplete enroll-}
ment report includes 2,700 stu-
dents entered in courses in Uni-
versity centers throughout the
state.
One year ago 16,076 were en-
rolled in resident credit coursesI
with 2,700 in University centers.

from the fraternity's constitution
a "bias clause" restricting mem-

The only two other campus fra-
ternities which held national con-
kventions this summer, Kappa Sig-

while failed to secure removal of
restrictive clauses.

SIGMA ALPHA MU president
Stan Blumstein, '54BAd, reported
virtually no opposition to abol-
ishing the restrictive clause at the
national meeting. Removal came
on a vote of 126-14.
Sigma Alpha Mu is the second
campus fraternity to recently re-
move its bias clause. Sigma Al-
pha Epsilon voted its clause out
two years ago.

WILLIAMS was one of two edu-
cators named in testimony Satur-
day before a senate internal af-
fairs committee at Chapel Hill.
He was named by an ex-com-
munist Paul Crouch. Crouch tes-
tified that Williams and Dr. Ir-
ving Erickson were communist
leaders at the North Carolina
school.
In his letter, Williams said.:
"I should like to state for your
records that I was a member of
the Communist party in 1936-37
at Chapel Hill, N.C. I left the Dar-
ty sometime in 1939 and have had
no connection with it since then.
"Since then I have co-operated
with the loyalty investigations of
the Department of Commerce and
with the FBI, giving them all the
information I could on certain de-
tails of membership and activities
of the communistdgroup with
which I-was affiliated."
Dean Muelder, after a talk with
Williams, said he was convinced
that the English professor was
telling the truth.

THE PRESIDENT'S remarks
came in a speech prepared for de-
livery at a $100-a-plate dinner of
New England Republicans in Bos-
ton Garden.
He listed the things which he
said his administration has ac-
complished so far, and cited
other things which he predicted
will be achieved at the next ses-
sion of Congress.
Nowhere in his speech, however,
did the chief executive say any-
thing about the income tax and
excess profits tax reductions sched-
uled to go into effect in January,
The fact he did not mention
tax cuts, coupled with his state-
ment that no tax sacrifice is too
great for America to bear, raised
a question of whether the ad-
ministration might be reconsid-
ering its position on taxes in
the light of Russia's possession
of the H-bomb.
The President said that in this
age of peril, "the security of our
whole nation-the preservation of
our free system-must direct every
thought and every decision."
Eisenhower came to Boston from
Springfield, Mass., where he got
a rousing reception and told a
crowd of 6,000 persons at the East-
ern States exposition that the
American system of government
is "threatened by a godless sys-
tem of philosophy-Communism."
