Radulovich
Pledged Aid
By Senator
Father Denies
Communist Ties
By MARK READER
Senator Homer Ferguson and
the president of the Macomb
County Republican Club yesterday
pledged their aid to University
senior Milo J. Radulovich who
faces the loss of his Air Force re-
serve commission for "close asso-
ciation" with his father and sister
-both alleged Communists.
As the young physics major
picked up support in this quarter
his father, John Radulovich em-
phatically denied he was a Com-
munist but did say that he once
belonged to an organization later
labeled "subversive" by the govern-
ment.
* * *
RADULOVICH, a 26-year-old
veteran is scheduled to appear
before a three-man military board
at Selfridge Air Force Base ?Tues-
day to prove that contact with his
family has not made him useless
for government employ and that
he is not a "security risk."
According to Selfridge offi-
cials and Kenneth Sanborn,
Young Republican leader, Sen.
Ferguson has said: "If there is
any evidence the boy is not re-
ceiving a fair -hearing, I will take
the matter up with the Defense
Department immediately."
Reached by phone yesterday,
Radulovich once again pointed
out that he himself has not been
accused of being a Communist and
maintained that if he gets an ad-
verse ruling from the board his
entire future as a physicist would
be ruined.
. Contrary to previous reports,
Radulovich said "I will not at-
tempt to involve any members of
the University in my case." He
claimed that sufficient offers for
affidavits from friends vouching
to his character eliminated need
for calling University personnel.
* * *
PRESIDENT Harlan H. Hatch-
er refused to comment on the in-
cident yesterday and a polling of
the physics department also turn-
ed up the same negative results
-the feeling generally being that
not enough was known of both
sides of the case.
However, among those who did
comment Prof. Kenneth Bould-
ing- of the economics depart-
ment said "It is outrageous if a
man can't see his father and
sister."

Dulles Asks!
Leadership
From AFL
Cites Union Blast
At Soviet Myth
ST. LOUIS-(A)-Secretary of
State Dulles said yesterday free
worker organizations "help might-
ily in the quest for peace" by ex-
posing the Communist "workers
paradise" as a myth.
The AFL's annual convention
gave Dulles an enthusiastic ova-
tion after he praised the AFL for
having "done more than any other
single body" to picture slave con-
ditions behind the Iron Curtain.
* * *
"IN THIS matter," Dulles said,
"there should be closer co-opera-
tion between us. You have not al-
ways received the official support
and backing you deserve."
The warm reception given
Dulles was in marked contrast
to the restrained and polite ap-
plause delegates gave to Vice
President Nixon Wednesday.
Nixon denied President Eisen-
hower had broken a promise, as
some AFL leaders claim, to sup-
port union-wanted changes in
the Taft-Hartley labor law.
The contrast underlined the
AFL's wholehearted support of ad-
ministration foreign policies but
bitter opposition to many of the
administration's domestic pro-
grams.
* * *
DULLES received perhaps his
greatest applause from delegates
when he said this country's for-
eign policy can best succeed if
supported by the American people
generally and by both political
parties.
"The extremely violent char-
acter of the Bolshevik regime,"
Dulles said, "destroyed not only
the reactionary elements within
Russia, but also the moderate
elements.
"In the process it has largely
reproduced for the workers the
conditions which prevailed under
the czars.
THE SITUATION is different in
this country, Dulles went on, where
the inter-play of free forces have
led to "immense" social and eco-
nomic gains.
He said a worker in New York
City can earn enough to buy a
pound of butter in 27 minutes of
work, but it takes the Moscow
worker six hours.
"I know that the persistent
influence Qf communism is a
matter of great concern to the
free labor unions and that the
AFL is taking the lead in com-
batting this situation," Dulles
said.
Another member of President
Eisenhower's Cabinet, Secretary of
Welfare Oveta Culp Hobby, told
the convention she hoped Congress
will tackle administration pro-
posals to broaden social security
coverages as one of its first mat-
ters of business next January.

Vietminhese Encircled
KESAT, Indochina-UP)-French Union troops encircled more
than 5,000 Vietminh soldiers amid flooded rice fields north of the
Red River yesterday.
It was the biggest drive yet in a campaign to keep the Com-
munist-led enemy from getting set for a fall offensive.
Five infantry spearheads closed in a big area northeast of
Hung Yen, a guerrilla-infested town of 4,000 in the Red River
Delta 30 miles southeast of Hanoi that the French call the Viet-
minh's "ambush capital."

Student vendors of dime pro-

Move To Lev
Dues of Dime
Tabled by1IHC
A propocal to assess every Men's
Quadrangle resident ten cents dues
was tabled yesterday at the first
Inter-House Council meeting of
the semester.
The motion to levy the dime
dues indirectly on the 2900 men
and 350 women in the quads, by
assessing house councils met with
mixed reactions before it was de-
cided to postpone the vote until
next week so IHC members would
have a chance to discuss the move
in their houses.
Proponents of the move said
present general funds were only
about enough to pay for printing
the min'utes for ten weeks. Op-
ponents claimed vvenue from the
I-Hop, slated for Saturday, Oct.
10, and a tentatively scheduled
performance by the, hypnotist Pol-
gar, should make dues unneces-
sary.
In the closing minute of the
session, the group passed a mo-
tion by IHC executi re vice-presi-
dent Tom Wilcox, '5E, inviting
Dean of Men Walter B. Rea to
the next meeting to "explain the
removal of 120 men from Chicago
House three days before orienta-
tion week."

on the athletics department's
copyright of the official program.
DeVine was retained by Larry'
Wellman, '56M and Ronald Karp,
'54, distributors of the dime pro-
grams.
Devine stated in a legal brief
prepared for the two students that
a "copyright program or 'directory
is not infringed by the publication
of another similar program unless!
the latter is copied from the for-
mer." * * *
WELLMAN and Karp pointed
out that "since all information
printed in the amateur programs
has been obtained from sources
independent of the official pro-
gram, the student vendors of foot-
ball programs are in no jeopardy
of legal action from the athletic
department."0
Prof. Herbert O. "Fritz" Crisler,
athletic director, could not be
reached for comment on the new
development.
"Because we wished to prevent
any controversy with the ath-
letic department," Wellman and
Karp declared, "we retained
DeVine to clarify our position."
The two enterprisers of ama-
teur programs added that since ,
DeVine has "clearly shown in his'
brief that we are in no way in-
fringing on the copyright of the
official program, we definitely plan
to sell and distribute programs
this Saturday."
Wellman and Karp reminded
students that "they had nothing
to worry about "in regards to the
local ordinance prohibiting unli-
censed vendors from selling on
city property during football
Saturdays..
They explained the decision ren-
dered by Municipal Judge Fran-
cis O'Brien stated that "the ordi-
nance defintely does not apply to
University property."

This line from "Laudes Atque

The Board of Regents will hold

One possible item of business
may be the Student Legislature

approval late last spring.

Says Reds
Hope To Win
Free World
Peace Conquest
Stalled 'til 1970
WASHINGTON-a)-A Polish
delegate to the United Nations
who fled to the free world said yes-
terday Russia's "master plan" calls
for world conquest by 1970 or 1980
-but no immediate war.
Testifying at a televised hearing
before the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee, Dr. Marek
Stanislaw Korowicz, a Krakow
University law professor, declared
"The Kremlin feels that under
present circumstances, war is not
the best way to achieve their
aims.

KOROWICZ'S cool, mater-of-
fact description of recent life be-
hind the Iron Cureain-a life he
described as misery, slavery, a
"real inferno"-was broadcast by
the Voice of America and Radio
Free Europe to his homeland and
to most of the Communist world.
All hopes for peace and free-
dom, he testified, rest with the
United States.
"Now I can speak the truth.In
Poland, the truth is forbidden. No
one dares to speak the truth. All
life becomes a living lie," he said.
KOROWICZ who walked out of
the Polish UN delegation last week
to seek haven under the American
flag, said only 6 to 7 per cent of
his people are Reds-and not
more than 2 per cent of Polish
voters would support the Commu-
nist party in a free election.
But any workers' revolt, such
as recently flared in- East Ger-
many, would be "immediately
downed in the blood of the Po-
lish people," he said'
Russian troops are spread
through Poland to suppress any
uprising, he said, and all officers
in the Polish army above the rank
of lieutenant colonel are actually
Russians.
* * *
KOROWICZ, a graying, distin-
guished looking man with black-
rimmed glasses spoke in French.
His words were translated into
English for the committee,
The witness drew praise from
committee Chairman Harold
Velde (R-Ill.) for his courage
in escaping the Communists and
for the contribution his testi-
mony would make for freedom
both in America and behind the
Iron Curtain.
The general opinion in. Poland
is that Lavrenty P. Beria, purged
chief of the Russian secret police,
was executed even before his oust-
er was announced.
The Russians have no real in-
terest in the United Nations ob-
jectives of peace and a better
world, but they put great stress
on the UN as "the most import-
ant platform for Soviet pr'opa-
ganda in the world."

meeting last night to form a-

arouse student interest in current
issues..

Faculty Opinion Differs
On .Dunham Dismissal
By ARLENE LISS
Faculty opinion differed sharply yesterday on the recent dismissal
of Prof. Barrows Dunham of the philosophy department of Temple
University for 'refusing to answer questions put to him by a congres-
sional committee.
. Prof. Preston Slosson of the history department emphatically de-
clared, "Anyone who refuses to answer questions is a fool." He added
he had no respect for what was a foolish action-a refusal to testify au-
tomatically throws suspicion upon the witness.
* * * *
BUT PROF. SLOSSON said that in a case of this nature, dis-
missal should not be based only on the witnesses silence but that his
usefulness to the University should be considered. He also remarked
that officials should study the motives that prompted the stand.
Prof. Kenneth Boulding of the economics department coin-
mented that the dismissal action was "very deporable." He said
although he had not examined the details of the case it looked
"as if due process of law had been disregarded" and therefore
"important questions of procedure were involved."
DEAN JAMES ROBERTSON of the literary college held the same
opinion as Prof. Slosson on Dnuham's refusal to testify. "It is relative-
ly unwise for a man to plead the fifth amendment, more is to be gained
by putting the facts on the table as Prof. Williams of Michigan State
has done," he said.
