To End 'Defects
'
ST. LOUIS--President Dwight
D. Eisenhower and Vice-President
Nixon yesterday frankly told the!
American Federation of Labor
that the Administration's program
would not be substantially altered
to suit labor's demands.
* , .s
MR. EISENHOWER promised
that he would send recommenda-
tionLS to Congress in January to
correct a "number of defects" in
the Taft-Hartley Labor Law.
He added, however, that he
felt passage of the law brought
a "substantial contribution to
the quest for sounder labor-
management relations."
According to the United Press.
the President's message was read
to the convention by Nixon, who
first noted to the delegates that
the "Administration may differ
with you on specific legislative
programs-on the Taft-Hartley
Act. tax policy and fiscal policy.
dom policy stand drawn up by
SL's Cultural and Education
Committee failed to reach a vote
at yesterday's meeting because of
time limitations. It will appear
for discussion on next week's
agenda.
Heated debate arose over adop-
tion of the stand, which contains
the phrase: "we deplore the meth-
ods employed in current investi-
gations of American educational
institutions as extremely unwise,
for- theyare c'e ting, both witlin
as well as outside academic coml-
munities, an atmosphere of appre-
hension and distrust that is doing
untold harm to the cause of free
inquiry far outweighing their pos-
sible benefits,."

physics major Milo J. Radulovich will place in jeopardy more
than the Air Force reservist's military status. If, as all cir
cumstances seem to indicate, the veteran is expelled from the
service, a prospective career in government work will b
abruptly ended. The stigma of "security risk" which will be
attached to the student's honorable discharge under present
conditions blocks his job chances even though his persona
loyalty is not questioned.
The Air Force is charging Radulovich with maintaining "
close and continuing relationship" with alleged pro-Commun.
ists - his father and sister. Since this relationship, according
to all available evidence, consists of infrequent family visits
without political consequence, the Air Force charge is open
to serious question.

Radulovich's case is a pertinent example of security con-
siderations being carried beyond the point of safeguarding the
nation to the point of discouraging vital government person.
Fighting for his career as a
physicist, University senior Mlo
J. Radulovich prepared yesterday
to defend himself and his Air Force
reserve commission against charges
that he is a "security risk" because
of his fathers and sister's alleged
Communist activities.
The :26-year-old veteran must
appear before a three-man At
Force board Tuesday to prove that
association with these members
of his family have not rendered
him useless to work on classified
I government projects because of
security reasons.
His own loyalty is not under
question.
NOW WORKING on his bache-
lor's degree in physics. Radulovich
told The Daily last night that con-
tinned study in this feld would
be impossible if the discharge pro-
ceeding went through.
"I have to be realistIc." he
c said, "there wouldn't be any
sense going on in physics it
there's an adverse ruling"
e Consultation with a military at-
a torney at Selfiidge Air Base where
the proceedings will take place
e gave little hope of a favorable de-
t cision. he added.
S"The Air Force attorney paint-
ed a dismal picture of the board-
he said they would be prejudiced
against me."
'The young vetran is now repr-
- sented by civilian counsel, and

yesterday brought the aid of a
s lawyer friend who is experienced
in militaiy hearings.
WHILE on Air Force active duty,
Radulovich participated in high-
ly secret work in Greenland.
"Having been cleared for that
project. I thought I'd never have
any trouble over security re-
leases" Radulovich commented.
Slie said he is not now engaged
in any ,University research con-
nected with government proj-
ects.
But last month a registered let-
ter arrived from the Air Force in
Washington advising him of the
charges and giving him the alter-
nastive of accepting an honorable
discharge for security reasons, ap-
plying for discharge if eligible. re-
plying in writing to the charges or
answering them before a hearing
board.
"I didn't avant to sign the dis-
charge-it would mean admitting
I'm a poor risk. so I asked for a
hearing," he related
