Kit Clardy (R-Mich.) told The Daily last night "it is entirely possible that no one will be called to testify." "We subpoena, a great many individuals and question only a few," he emphasized. "It will probably turn out that a relatively small number from this area will be called." DELAYED BY THF trial of six alleged Communists in Detroit's Federal Court and the Harry Dexter White case hearings in Wash- ington, the Clardy sub-committee plans hearings in Detroit, Lansing and Flint shortly after the first of the year. Rep. Clardy was adamant that the sub-committee will not "lend itself to any direct smear attack on University faculty, students or employes." There will be "no attack on the loyalty or patriotism of the stu- dents, faculty members or employes other than a few individuals who may turn up. "And I want to stress the word 'may' in that statement," he continued in reiterating that neither the number nor names of those' subpoenaed would be released until the hearings unless individuals identified themselves. UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Harlan H. Hatcher said last night he had not been given any information as to who had been sub- poenaed. The President announced he would call a special meeting of students and administrators to work out methods of de'aling with student cas'es that might come up in reference to the hearings. Lee Fiber, '54, chairman of the Joint Judiciary Counci, com- mended the idea of an early meeting. There had been some concern over possible by-passing of Joint Judiciary authority in the event that students were implicated in' . State Eyes Bowl; Leading Big Ten 'M' Rally in 4th Falls Short, Spartans Win Fourth Straight Over Wolverines By PAUL GRENBERG Associate Sports Editor Special To The Daily EAST LANSING-An embattled Michigan football team, trying to win its first game from Michigan State in four years, bowed to superior Spartan manpower and talent, 14-6 here yesterday. By virtue of its victory, Biggie Munn's classy club moved into first place in the Big Ten standings-and incidentally, the race to the Rose Bowl. State has a five won .one lost record and has com- pleted its first Western Conference schedule. ILLINOIS and Wisconsin trail with four and one marks in second-this by virtue of the Badgers surprise 34-' win at Madison yesterday. Both clubs have one lnncria (Y~ a ram iia league game remaining. The Wolverines, absorbing their third conference defeat as opposed to two victories, gave MSC a jolt in the fourth quar- ter. when State miscues gave them one touchdown and set up another one. But some weird play-calling on the part of the Wolverines coupled with fine Spartan defensive work put Michigan'sfire out and put the game in the MSC win column. Munn's charges play'ed a con- servative, steady game -- they turned on the power, when they needed it and held consistently when Michigan had the ball. The. Spartans ground out two long touchdown drives, one covering 89 yards early in the second per- H ST To Air 'White Case' NEW YORK - ( - Former President Truman said yesterday he will "tell all the facts about the Harry Dexter White case in an "all out" radio and television ad- dress tomorrow night from Kansas City.

Hot, Sun,,TepidRivalry Prevail at Game committee investigations. The concern arose in part over the sidetracking of Joint Judiciary last week when University stu- dents were temporarily suspended for painting up the Michigan State campus. It was discovered that the Dean of Students office has discretionary authority to take disciplinary action in emergency cases.. When the House Committee made its last local appearance in Detroit in the spring of 1952 a Wayne University co-ed, Lorraine Faxon Meisner wvas suspended by former president David D. Henry for her "un-cooperative" attitude. A storm of protest arose over the action, but the Wayne Council of Deans later expelled Mrs. Meis- ner saying she "spoke in a manner disrespectful to a properly con- stituted government body." No University student or faculty member was called to testify dur- ing that sequence of hearings. * * ' * - THE UNIVERSITY faculty re- cently strengthened its demotion and dismissal procedure in the event that public interest might make quick action on a faculty member necessary. Proposed by the Faculty Sen- ate and approved by the Re- gents ;last month, the new pro- cedure is operative in event of loyalty charges against faculty members and limits the time a hearing may be requested from 20 to five days. , It gives the President authority to initiate dismissal or demotion cases in that event, with review by the faculty following. * * * - might form a basis for current hearings. Mrs. Baldwin designa'ted the lo- cal cells as "A.A. Town,' "Ralph Nefus" and "Hal Dane." At that time a University fac- ulty member said the activities of the "Nefus" club were known to the University and the group had not been prevented from us- ing Angel Hall classrooms be- cause it was considered a non- dangerous student group. "A.A. Town" was also known though never associated with the University, the faculty source said, but there was no knowledge of the "Hal Dane" group. ON CAMPUS a number of La- bor Youth League members con- tacted said they had not been subpoenaed and had no knowl- edge of anyone who had been. The Labor Youth League .and a number of students were nam- ed in a special Daily series by Zander Hollander, '53, last Jan- uary as carrying on the main Communist "Front" activity on campus. Rep. Clardy referred to the se- ries last night as "informative" and said he was sure it must have been helpful to his committee. He declined to comment, howev- er, on whether any LYL members would be called to testify in the Detroit hearings or whether the organization itself will be involved. The LYL has carried on local activities since its direct antece- dent, Michigan Youth for Dem- ocratic Action, was banned from the' campus by former President Alexander G.

The game drew, however, 52,- 3T4 fans, the second largest crowd ever to see a football battle at Macklin Field and the largest to see th'e Spartans play the Wolverines in East Lansing. In addition, an estimated 60 mil-; lion television viewers were1 treated to an afternoon of hard- fought football. In .contrast with the leth- argy in the stands, the 146 mem- ber Michigan Transcontinental Marching Band put on spirited pre-game and halftime shows to make a rout of the battle of the; bands.

At times the fans were so quiet that the Michigan Band often struck up a number to create a semblance of noise. Making an appearance at the game as guest of John A. Hannah, Assistant Secretary of Defense and former President of Michigan State, were Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson and television celebrity Arthur Godfrey. * * * AFTER THE game, the fans slowly and quietly emptied the stadium. As the crowd was filing out, the public address announcer gave the score of the Illinois-Wis- consin game, a move that inspired more cheering than anything that had happened here. One thing missed by Ann Ar- boriles was the traditional dog on the field. Nor did the =an- nouncer give the score of the slippery Rock State Teachers College game.
