Francis C. Shiel, manager of service enterprises, made the es- timate at a Residence Halls Board of Governors meeting, and added1 that the project should be com- pletely finished by Jan. 1, 1955. ** * THE 100 apartments, mostly one bedrooms units with some "no bedroom" and two bedroom types, will be partly financed, the Uni- versity hopes, by an already ap: plied for 100 million dollar Fed- eral Government loan. Shiel also told the board that there will probably be from 700 to 800 living units built on the North Campus. in, the future. Work on an addition to Couzens Hall, including raising its dining1 capacity to 530 students, will probably be begun before July 1,i 1954, when the nurses' residence will become an official Univers- ity Residence Hall, Sheil said. Federal funds are also being sought for the Couzens project. Shiel estimated the addition would cost $1,700,000. The Board of Governors also discussed the possibility of hold- ing a meeting of the National Students Association on cam- pus late this summer. The problem of providing super- vision and service for 1000 stu- dents in one of the residence halls was discussed, and benefits to the campus from the meeting were- cited. No action was taken on the pos- sible NSA conclave, but Board of Governors' chairman Acting Dean of Students Walter B. Rea said the matter, which was defer- red for further administrative stu- dy, will be acted on soon.

Drawn up by Council members Jack Danielson, Charles Sleicher and Al Hunting, the statement said, "the chief instance of the tendency to restrict student free- dom at the University has been the Lecture Committee." . * * * ALREADY endorsed by the Uni- tarian Students Group, the state- ment will be printed in a pam- phlet issued by the Student Legis- lature subcommission on Academic Freedom.

Co-op Council Acts on House A motion to bid up to $16,000 on a house at 806 East Kingsley Mwas passed last night by the Inter- Cooperative Council at a meetingj which fell short of a quorum by' 10 persons. The action, taken at an all- membership meeting, was not of- ficial, however, because the neces- sary minimum of 60 members was not present. However, the motion can be le- galized by a meeting of the Board of Directors according to Jack Hil- berry, '56A, ICC President. The ICC's earlier bid of $15,000 was raised by another contending party last week.f Plans have been made to use the: building as a cooperative apart-1 ment house for married studentt couples. lican Senate inquiry committee took a swift 40-minute look at the explosive Harry Dexter White "spy" case at a jam-packed, tele- vised hearing yesterday.

He pointed out that the "Spar- tan Re-view" which will be held at 9:30 p.m. today will take the -bgest bite out of the 'student tax-appropriated funds. The show will, be held immed- iately after an outdoor pep rally at the band shell across the street from the auditorium.

Members of the Spartan Va:- sity Club will play host to visiting "M" Club members at a coffee hour after the game tomorrow. In Ann Arbor student leaders felt that vocal student support- will be necessary if the team is to make a good showing in tomor- row's tilt with MSC. Merritt Green, '56L, captain of last year's team, and emcee of today's rally set for 3:30 p.m., said he felt enthusiastic student support would make members of the team feel that they are re- garded asan integral part of the student body.

SMITH ACT TRIAL: Lautner Describes How CP Denounced Him r f 1 - tc, By MARK READER Special To The Daily DETROIT-Winding up seven days of testimony in the trial of six! Michigan Communist leaders, government witness John Lautner yes- terday described how the Party had denounced him as an "enemy! agent" in the cellar of a house in Cleveland in 1950. The lengthy session, marked by constant flare-ups between op- posing lawyers also witnessed Federal Judge Frank A. Picard refuse! to admit as government evidence a chart supposedly revealing the organization of the Communist underground in the U.S. JUDGE PICARD'S ruling came as an unprecedented move in the government's Smith Act case against the Michigan CommunistsI charged with conspiring to violent overthrow of the government. { The identical chart has been a key part in the government'sJ prosecution against Communist functionaries in New York, Pitts- burgh and five other cities. Over constant objections by defense counsel Ernest Goodman,; leader, and Jack Kling, national Communist treasurer. Also present were three other men who he did not know. LAUTNER said first official word of his dismissal from the CP came in the form of a news story appearing in the Daily Worker of Jan. 17, 1950. Earlier in the day Lautner claimed the Party had been in- structed to go underground in 1948 and in June, 1949, he was instructed "to make a survey in the party for 'ham' radio operators who could send messages." Radio apparatus obtained was supposed to be powerful enough to send messages from New York to Albany and from there to Buffalo,! he said. Preceding this point the government attempted to introduce the chart on the Communist underground. Goodman objected and Judge Picard sustained the objection by saying "The government is taking' t un too much for granted." pocxt Blackford said that according to Ralph Young, MSC athletics director the University has given its apbroval of the trophy. William Present, Lansing jew- eler, said the trophy was ordered through him by the Governor. He said the. trophy, a hand-carved statue of Paul Bunyan will stand eight feet high, including the ped- estal, and cost about $1,400. Present said the Governor "ask- ed me to raise a certain sum in Lansing toward the cost of the trophy and said that soie of his friends in Ann Arbor would also contribute. The Governor plans to contribute too," 'Present said. GEORGE GUERRE, former MSC football star and president of the Central Michigan MSC Alumni Club, said it had been suggested that both the University and Michigan State alumni would split the cost with the Governor also n-.v,+mihte nr-, nnIo I Rep.
