* 9 * *
IN ALL, the University paid out
$33,985,482 in, salaries during the
last fiscal year as compared with
$30,878,467 for the preceding year.
An additional $10,929,565 in
contrast to $9,147,885 a year ago
for materials, supplies, and trav-
el expenditures added to the sal-
ary figure accounted for 87 per
c cent of the total expenditures
for the year.
The General Fund covering
teaching, research, public service
and student advisory services
showed income of $22,,725,910 and
expenditures of $22,630,582 with a
margin of $95,328 between income
and outgo. Both income and ex-
penses under the General Fund
were well over two million dollars
higher than the previous year.
THE. self-supporting activities
of the University under the Aux-
iliary Activities Fund including
the hospital, publications, athletic
and other student activities, resi-
dence halls, Food Service, laun-
dry, airport and non-investment
property showed an income of
$15,723,392 against $15,696,550 in

ious year.

Faculty Gives
Nod to Survey
on Vocations
Approval of the all-senior vo-
cation survey scheduled for next
week by the Commission on Hu-
man Resources was voiced yester-
day by a University dean and two
faculty men connected with psy-
chological research.
Prof. E. Lowell Kelly, director
of the Bureau of Psychological
Services, said, "In my judgment,
this testing program, designed to
discover the essential similarities
and differences among college
majors, constitutes one of the most
important aspects of thelarger
-investigation undertaken by the
Commission."
THAT COLLEGE students in
various fields of study differ from
one another is obvious, Prof. Kelly
said, "how they differ is something
we don't know, yet such knowledge
is critical if we are to make more
effective use of our human re-
sources."I
Given to all seniors in the lit-
erary college and the schools of
architecture and design, social
work, natural resources, medi-
cine, dentistry, education, law,
business administration, engi-
neering, music, pharmacy and
nursing, the tests will require
two hours.
Senior Board as well as admin-
istrators of the participating
schools are urging 100 per cent
cooperation from all seniors.
Prof. Kelly explained, "Previous
small-scale studies of the problem
have indicated the potential value
of data of the kind provided by
the tests, but nothing less than a
large-scale testing program such
as here proposed is adequate to
yield definite findings."

Arthur L. Brandon, Director of
University Public Relations, said
yesterday President Harlan H.
Hatcher did not plan an addi-
tion to his comments on Congres-
sional investigating committees
until the appearance of the Clardy
group in Michigan early next year.
Brandon's statement came on a
coast-to-coast r a d i o newscast
which claimed a "dramatic dis-
agreement" was in evidence on
campus between the students and
the University President.
THE PROGRAM referred to a
Daily editorial printed in Sunday's
paper calling President Hatcher's
stand toward Congressional com-
mittees "inconsistent, contradic-
tory, weak and unbecoming a uni-
versity president."
Commenting on the editorial
written by Virginia Voss, '54, Edi-
torial Director, and Alice B. Sil-
ver, '54, Associate Editorial Direc-
tor, Managing Editor Harry Lunn,
'54, said on the newscast six of
the seven senior editors agreed
with the article along with the
majority of the junior staff.
Lunn went on to tell a listeningr
audience of approximately five
million people that The Daily
had received favorable comment
throughout the day on the edi-
torial but "it was hard to tell the
general opinion of the students"
in the conflict.
The program, aired over thej
Taylor Grant show, said the dis!
puted editorial hinted University'
officials were "appeasing the in-
vestigators" because of outside
pressures.

By a rising vote of acclamation,
Student Legislature last night re-
elected Bob Neary, '54BAd., presi-
dent for the coming semester.
Rather than outline his aims in
a traditional acceptance speech,
the 20-year-old senior from Des
Moines, Ia. said the newly-elected
cabinet would meet to adopt a
platform of joint aims to Pe pre-
sented at the next meeing.
FRED HICKS, '54, was chosen'
vice-president, also by acclama-
tion of the group. kAmember of
the SeniorBoard, Hicks is enroll-

and was SL treasurer for the first
part of the semester.
First contest in the elections
developed in the race between
former incumbent Steve Jelin,
'55, and present incumbent Via
Hampton, '54, for treasurer.
In a speech nominating Hamp-
ton, Hank Berliner, '56, advised:
SL members "the election had not
been rigged in spite of some pre-
dictions of a close 21-18 vote in
favor of the opposing candidate."
Surprised looks dotted many
Legislators' faces as Berliner con-
tinued his nominating speech by
citing the changed support of for-
mer SL treasurer Hicks from the
by-election which installed Jelin]
in the treasurer's office six weeks
ago to yesterday's election. Hicks,
Berliner said, had supported Jelin;

WASHINGTON-(P) -FBI re-
ports linking Harold Glasser to
Soviet espionage in the United
States were sent to nine officials
months before he was promoted to
a higher job in the Treasury De-
partment, Attorney General Her-
bert Brownell told Senate investi-
gators yesterday.
The statements that Brownell
sent to the Senate Internal Se-
curity Subcommittee listed the re-
ports and those who received
them, but did not reveal what the
FBI reports contained.
* * *
GLASSER was among the Gov-
ernment employes named in an
FBI report of Dec. 1946, as ac-
cused of aiding a Soviet spy ring
by unnamed informants. The late
Harry Dexter White, then assist-
ant secretary of the Treasury was
another one mentioned in this
group and this report.
Brownell is expected to re-
lease information next week on
others that were co-workers
with Glasser in the Treasury
Department, among whom were
Victor Perlo, V. Frank Coe and
Solomon Adler.
I Brownell cited a report dated
Nov. 5, 1945, and "a summary"
dated Feb. 21, 1946, both of which
he said were sent to the then Sec-
retary of the Treasury Fred M.
Vinson, on successive days in
March,.1946. Glasser was appoint-
ed to the higher position in Aug-
ust.
Altogether, Brownell listed 10
different FBI reports concerning
Glasser.
He said that among the offi-
cials having received one or more
of these reports were -James F.
Byrnes, Tom Clark, James V. For-
restal, Brig. Gen. Harry H. Vaugh-
an, Adm. William D. Leahy, Lt.
