LXIV, No. 45 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1953 SIX PAGE: i NEW S I Ike Defends Patriotism Of Truman Says Brown el Must Give Proof EiWASHINGTON-()-President Eisenhower upheld Harry S. Tru- man's patriotism yesterday and said he, personally, would not have subpoenaed the former President in the Harry Dexter White case. The chief executive told a news conference it was inconceivable that a man in Truman's position knowingly damaged the United States. BUT THE tempest roared on over Atty. Gen. Brownell's charges that Truman promoted White to the International Monetary Fund in 1946 after the FBI had identi- fied the late Treasury official as a Red spy. Brownell late in the day is- sued a statement saying the State Department had supplied him a copy of a memorandum dated Feb. 5, 1946, from Secre- tary of State Byrnes to Presi- dent Truman. Brownell said the memo shows that White's "espionage activities were known to the White House and other government agencies be- fore Senate confirmation and be- fore his promotion to the import- ant position of executive director of the International Monetary Fund." IN VIEW of the Byrnes memo, Brownell said, it now seems be- yond question that there was lax- ity. Eisenhower put it up to Brownell to support the charges with essential evidence. He said he wouldn't be a party to what looks like rank injustice to any body. Truman has said White was fired when it was learned he was "wrong." So far as the records show, White resigned in 1947 and received a letter of acceptance and praise from Truman. Meanwhile Chairman Velde (R- Ill.) of the House Un-American Activities Committee, who had subpoenaed Truman for tomorrow said he would consult the full committee as soon as possible.

Newsom, master of the Nation- al Grange, said yesterday the American farm program is ready for some fundamental changes away from "relief." IN AN EFFORT to prevent fur- ther episodes, acting Dean of Students Walter B. Rea warned yesterday that any University stu- dents caught on the East Lansing campus in the act of painting signs or with paint brushes in hand will face immediate suspen- sion for an indefinite period. Thesame ruling was reported to have been in effect at MSC where housing groups have been warned against any more paint- Iing of the Ann Arbor campus. The four were apprehended by MSC campus police shortly after midnight with paint brushes in hand. Gerald D. Pruder, s55E, and William R. McCabe, '54E, were picked up after they painted "Beat State" on a campus footbridge. Stanley E. Sattelberg, '54E, and Raymond E. Sund, '55E, painted the same slogan on the agricul- ture and rhusic buildings -and a Macklin Field ticket booth. They were released and turned over to University authorities aft- er being booked on charges of ma- licious destruction of property. Three former University stu- dents, now enTolled at State, were also nabbed by MSC cam- pus police who caught them hurrying away from MSC's be- loved Spartan statue with blue paint and brushes. Meanwhile University officials were without clues as to who was busy with green paint here on campus at the same time. The Mu- seums Bldg., the Kellogg Bldg., the "M" seal on the Diagonal and the area in front of the Union were thoroughly spattered with paint. Ann Arbor police scoured the streets in search of roving bands of MSC students who had not ma- terialized late last night. SL Requests SAC Change In Regulation Claims SL' Stand Violated by Rule Student Legislature last night voted to recommend that the Stu- dent Affairs Committee change one of its regulations governing conduct of the propbsed Academ- ic Freedom Week meetings, be- cause the ruling "is in violation of SL's Academic Freedom Policy stand.' Under discussion was the re- quirement, passed Tuesday by SAC, that all those attending the SL-sponsored Academic Freedom Week meetings, slated to begin Sunday, Nov. 15, sign their names to majority or minority reports of resolutions submitted at any ses- sions. THE MOTION to be presented at an SAC meeting Monday reads "because of the importance of Academic Freedom Week to the students, SL accepts responsibil- ity for the Week's activities in ac- cordance with regulations passed by SAC." SL members explained their request by adding "We feel this regulation inhibits full expres- sion of student opinion. In the atmosphere of intimidation gen- erated by such measures, stu- dents may hesitate to sign a res- olution even though it expresses their true beliefs, because they fear future reprisals." Included in the motion, passed 21-3, was the phrase that "SL, realizing that the conference is not a definite recognized group, agrees that any resolutions, recommenda- tions or reports coming from this group should not be presented as an expression of student opinion at the University." SL ALSO SENT a request to members of the Board of Regents asking the members to meet indi- vidually or as a group "with an SL designated student group a mini- mum of once every three months in order to discuss campus prob- lems." Initiating the motion, Leah Marks, '55L, claimed SL had neverkhad5formalized contacts with the Regents, who "as duly elected representatives of the State of Michigan, have a duty to listen to students." In the last two years, she said, SL has submitted many proposals to the Regents, few of which have been adopted by that body. If SL maintained continuing contact with the Regents, she added, more student projects might be accept- ed in the future. Previously the Legislature voted to table sponsorship of a non-profit office service for campus organizations. Objections were raised concern- ing financial and accounting prob- lems inherent in the project be- cause SL presently obtains its of- fice materials at cost if the mater- ials are used exclusively for Leg- islature functions. --Daily-Don Campbell BRIEF SURVEY-Student studies platforms and posters of the 35 candidates' for Student Legislature positions on signboard placed on the Diagonal. TOO MANY 'NYETS': Lie Advocates Change In Veto on UN Entrance By BECKY CONRAD In an Oxford-tinged Scandinavian accent, Trygve Lie last night advocated a change in the veto power concerning entrance into the United Nations. The former secretary-general of the United Nations explained there "should be no veto" in this area. Instead two-thirds of the General Assembly and seven Security Council votes snould allow some of the 16 applicants for membership to enter the world organization. " " U++ Lighter Second Day Balloting Seen; Cloudy, Cool Weather May Up Tally By DOROTHY MYERS An unusually light first day turn-out of 3,657 voters marked yes- terday's campus-wide elections to fill 23 vacant Student Legislature seats. SL hopes of a record high vote were doubly dimmed yesterday by the fact that second-day balloting is traditionally far lighter than first-day polling and that fewer students are on campus Thursdays than Wednesdays. Weather Bureau forecasts of cloudy, cooler weather helped some- what, however, to brighten outlooks for a higher-than-usual second- day vote today. BERT BRAUN, '54, SL elections director predicted that slightly more than 2,000 voters would cast second-day ballots before 5 p.m. today, when ballot boxes will be " officially closed. If Braun's predictions mater- ialize, total voting would neigh- cent vote turnout, as compared IIe t O e e to the 48 per cent total cast in last spring's elections.

SL Hopes Dim For Poll Record LIE POINTED OUT, he had many times over such an issue. Moreover, the NorwegianC statesman indicated he did not approve of Red Chinese repre- sentation. "China is represent- ed in the UN today," he explain- ed. "It would hurt the spirit of the UN charter to allow the Communist Peking government into the UN because such ac- tion requires a peace-loving gov- ernment," Lie claimed. When Gen. MacArthur reported 500,000 Chinese crossed the Yalu River into Korea, the Scandina- vian felt the Peking government did not show this peace-loving spirit. Lie explained the UN is "not a supernational authority, and can- not issue any binding laws, but only gives recommendations." HE SAID the UN is very often a scapegoat. "Its weakness is due to lack of agreement among mem- ber nations and very often the. Communist governments are re- sponsible for most of its setbacks," according to the former secretary- general. Lie pointed out in Korea "for the first time in history col- lective action started by the UN" did bring results. "This move could have been taken even though Malik were there," Lie noted, "since it was only a recommendation to the member nations."

Lipscomb's victory in California's 24th District special Congression- al election Tuesday. Lipscomb, with 42,880 votes, comfortably outdistanced the Democratic candidate, George Ar- nold, who tallied 34,545 votes. INSURGENT Republican, John L. Collier, who had caused his party to have serious qualms be- fore the election, finished in the "also ran" column with 3,616 votes. Irving Markheim, a chronic Dem- ocratic candidate, had 1,150. Any indicative split in the Re- publican ranks, between the Nixon faction represented by the victor, and the Warren-Know- land faction represented by the insurgent, was dispelled by Sen- ator Knowland's endorsement of Lipscomb, according to Prof. Joseph E. Kallenbach. The consensus of the profes- sor's oninions was that the Re- Prof. James Pollock summed it up by saying, "I never see much significance in special elections like this one. Local conditions are invariably determining and it looks. to me as if the district sim- ply followed its usual pattern." CROWD HEARS: Kinsey Advocates More 'Pettin'g', Panel Claims By BOB KANY The more petting, the better. That, Prof. Robert Blood told a standing-room-only audience yesterday, seems to be Alfred Kinsey's opinion. Prof. Blood, Robert Schulze and Robert Hamblin all of the sociology departient were members of a panel that discussed findings on petting and pre-marital relations from Dr. Kinsey's latest book, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female." The discussion was the fourth sociology colloquium of the semester. Petting was defined by Kinsey as "any physical contact that arouses excitement." Benefits cited by Kinsey as. resulting from "heavy petting," which "has al- ways taken place," werenbrought lout by Schulze. (1) Petting over- comes inhibitions, (2) petting contributes to the choice of a n 'llo ig h t spouse and (3) petting contributes to relations in marriage.

Team To Get Pep Send-off' Including all the features of a pep rally, a cheering sendoff is be- ing planned by Wolverine Club of- ficials, at 3:45 p.m. tomorrow in front of Yost Field House when the football team prepares to take off for East Lansing. Cries of "BeeeathState," the rhythmic step of the Michigan Marching Band, and songs and cheers will be combined in the send off rally for the team. Merritt (Tim) Green, '56L, Cap- tain of last year's football team will emcee the gathering. Student ,leaders contacted felt that a rally before the State game would bolster the enthusiasm of the team and might reap results in increased enthusiasm on the part of football players during Saturday's game against Michigan State.
