McCarthy Blasts
Major Networks
Angered Over Refusal of CBS, NBC
To Let Him Answer Stevenson
NEW YORK - (P) - Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) declared
war yesterday on two major networks that refused him free air time
to answer criticisms from Adlai E. Stevenson.
McCarthy said of the two networks, CBS and NBC:
T "I intend to test whetheithey can give Stevenson time for a
vicious attack on me and then arrqgantly refuse me time to answer.

House Acts
.On. Pay Bill,
Sales Tax
'N LANSING-(')-in an action-
packed session, the House yester-
day voted a pay raise for future
legislators, passed the Conlin plan
to revise the sales tax diversion
and approved reducing the work
week of firemen.
Racing to meet a Wednesday
deadline for passage of bills not+
acted on by either House, the low-1
er chamber passed the pay raise
measure 55-41.

-' THE BILL would pay legislatorsI
a total of $5,000 a year after next
' (Jan. 1. They now get a total of
$3,900.
Rep. Adrian De Boom (R-
Owosso emerged as the prini-
pal opponent of the measure.
"The people gave us a blank
check when they permitted us to
set our own salaries," he said. "I
urge you not to misuse their gen-
erosity."
* * *
REP. ROLLO G. Conlin (R-Tip-
ton) author of the plan to revise
the sales tax diversion, had toac-
aept two changes he considered
weakening before he could get a
92-1 favorable vote on the plan.
One amendment, approved 55-
37, would write into the eon-
rsitution a permanent limita-
tion of the present three per cent
on the sales tax.
The other would permit mun-t
cipalities to count 50 per cent of
inmates and patients in their pop-
ulations for computing their share
Sof the diversion. At present, they
count all state wards. The plan
would have eliminated them from
athe count.
The main purpose of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment,
which now goes to the Senate, is
to pay school aid out of current
collections of the sales tax. Un-
der the present amendment, the
school aid appropriation is based
on collections of two years pre-
vious,
The bill to limit the work week
of firemen to 63%/ hours passed
52-46. The measure had been de-
feated 50-39 two weeks ago, but
it was laid on the table where it
was eligible for a second vote.
'h The bill lowers the present limi-
tation by 10 hours and provides a
second leave day for firemen every
16 days.
Cost-Cutting,
Buying, IFC
Stewards' Goal
Thirty-five fraternity stewards
met last night for an organiza-
tional meeting of the proposed
steward training program spon-
sored by the Interfraternity Coun-
cil.
Ultimate goal of the program,
designed to familiarize stewards
with cost-cutting techniques in the
kitchen and in buying, is a cooper-
ative food buying system among
campus fraternities.
The immediate aim, as set forth
in last night's meeting, is to learn
more about running a kitchen
through exchange of mutual prob-
lems and hearing experts speak
on buying and food preparation.
Present plans call for three
meetings a semester at which guest
speakers will discuss problems with
all stewards, while a board com-
posed of district representatives
will carry on in the interim.

Growing out of a meeting of
stewards and IFC officers held
two weeks ago the program is ex-

all directions with apparent zest,
and shrugged off casually a pur-
ported threat upon his life.
An anonymous phone caller
told Waldorf - Astoria Hotel
guards early today that "some-
thing terrible" was going to
happen to McCarthy. The caller
reportedly had a Spanish accent.
"If anyone is going to kill you
he won't call you up first," was
the senator's reaction,."I assume
it was some crackpot. I get this
sort of thing every day in the
week."
FORMER President Harry S.
Truman, in town briefly, remarked
of the purported assassination
threat that "we'd have no enter-
tainment at all if they killed him."
Then Truman added soberly: "I
don't believe in government by as-
sassination."
"It's a waste of time to ans-
wer dead politicians," cracked
McCarthy, when told of Tru-
man's comment. Then he added:
"That indicates he still has his
sense of humor."
Stevenson, the Democratic can-
didate for President in 1952, at-
tacked McCarthy and the GOP in
a speech from Miami Saturday
night. The networks, offered equiv-
alent time for an answer to the
GOP National Committee.
The committee named Vice
President Richard M. Nixon to re-
ply, reportedly as the personal
choice of President Eisenhower.
McCarthy contended it was fine
for Nixon to speak for the com-
mittee but that he, McCarthy,
wants to reply as well for him-
self.
"I think Dick Nixon is an excel-
lent choice to reply for the Fppub-
lican party," he told a news con-
ference. He added that he had no
idea whether Eisenhower dictated
the choice of Nixon.
Statehood
Bills Merged
WASHINGTON - (oP) - The
Senate agreed yesterday to put to
a vote tomorrow a proposal to
bring Hawaii and Alaska into a
combination statehood bill - the
only chance, two Western Demo-
crats said, for Alaskan statehood
at this congressional session.
The test ballot was set on a
merger plan submitted by Sen.
Anderson (D-NM). And it prob-
ably will be close, the way senators
are lined up now.
Both Anderson and Sen. Jack-
son (D-Wash.) told the Senate
that Alaska won't get statehood
now unless it is tied to admission
of Hawaii. Anderson cited historic
precedents for admitting states in
pairs.
"If we keep Alaska separate
from Hawaii we are defeating
Alaska," Jackson declared.

Kyes as Secretary
WASHINGTON-(/)-President
Eisenhower yesterday tapped Sec-
retary of the Navy Robert B. An-
derson, a 1952 "Eisenhower Demo-
crat," for Deputy Secretary of
Defense.
Anderson was nominated to re-
place Roger M. Kyes in the No.
2 slot at. the Pentagon. Kyes has
resigned effective May 1.

THE 43-YEAR-OLD Anderson
left business, ranching and legal
interests in Texas to become Navy
secretary on Feb. 4, 1953. The
White House said a new Navy
secretary won't be selected im-
mediately.
Presidential Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty told reporters
he had no information on re-
ports it 'might be Gov. John
Lodge of Connecticut.
Kyes turned in his resignation
Saturday. He is a former execu-
tive of General Motors Corp. and
had agreed to come into the gov-
ernment for only a year. Actually
he is staying three months longer
than that.

KYES AND the White House'
have disclaimed any link between
the resignation and the flare-up
between Secretary of the Army
Stevens and Sen. McCarthy (R-
Wis.).
But some insiders at the Pen-
tagon have an idea the Stevens-
McCarthy row over McCarthyI
investigating methods might
have weighed against the selec-
tion of the Army secretary to
move into Kyes' spot.

AA City Charter Group
Votes for Reorganization
By PAT ROELOFS
Members of the City Charter Revision Commiission last night
voted to reorganize completely Ann Arbor's charter rather than amend
the present charter.
Commission member Prof. Paul Kauper of the law school pointed
to the language of the present charter, citing "inconsistancies, ambi-
guity, obsoleteness and incompleteness" in the document, and proposed
that complete revision take place. -
"SUBSTANTIAL changes in the charter can only be made by
complete revision" Prof. Kauper stated. All of the Commission mem-
bers agreed that the task of -- -

system. Only rarely has an SAC
vote split so definitely between
students and faculty.
* * *
SAC ACTION came after re-
sults of a sorority vote favoring
fall rushing by a 418,to 167 count
were submitted to the committee
by Panhel president Martha Hill,
'54.
She also placed before SAC
a constitution revision changing
the required vote on rushing
regulations from a three-fourths
to two-thirds majority.
Miss Hill explained that the
constitutidn change was necessi-
tated by the realization that a
three-fourths decision probably
could not be reached oi either the
fall or spring plans.
Actual Panhel vote was 69 per
cent in favor of the fall method.
The constition change passed nar-:
rowly with 14 houses voting for it
and three against-just the min-
imum requirement.
* * *
AFTER a preliminary hassle on
its jurisdiction over such consti-
tution changes, SAC passed the re-
vision by a vote of 10 to one with
one abstention.
With this issue cleared away,
the committee was ready to
tackle the main debate on the
merits of Panhel's rushing pro-
posal.
But at this point another juris-
dictional problem arose as one
member maintained that SAC
merely should determine if. proper
procedure had been followed by
Panhel formulating the regulation.
Generally, however, the com-
mittee seemed to hold that the
issue must be viewed substantively
as well as procedurally in light of#
its- ramifications on the entire4
campus community.
This point was particularly
stressed by opponents of the fall
system who felt the overall ef-
feet of spring rushing was bet-
ter for the campus.

Co-op Group
New Ruling
Student Affairs Committee took
further - action yesterday in its
investigation of Inteicooperative
Council handling of a recently ac-
quired apartment house.
SAC members voted to send ICC
officers a letter suggesting that
basic improvements be completed
on the property as rapidly as pos-
sible and directing that no addi-
tional persons be moved into the
apartments without written per-
mission of Acting Dean of Stu-
dents Walter B. Rea.
* *' *.
TWO WEEKS ago SAC asked
ICC president Jack Hillberry,
'56A&D, to appear and explain
why a student family had been
moved into the house contrary to
a committee ruling that health and
building inspection approval must
precede occupancy.
Yesterday Hillberry admitted
he and fellow officers had vio-
lated the ruling but claimed
they had misunderstood the
committee's intent.
The issue goes back to last Sept.
.22 when SAC overruled a housing
sub-committee report and granted
ICC authorization to purchase the
apartment house at 803 E. King-
sley.
Authorization was made subject
to the provision that no one move
in until the house had been ap-
proved by University and city
authorities.
However, ICC allowed a fam-
ily needing emergency housing
to occupy an apartment in Jan-
uary without the required in-
spection. Subsequent notifica-
tion of the building's habitation

Lea hy's Slam
AT' Ignored
By Officials
A blast by former Notre Dame
football Coach Frank Leahy at the'
National Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation and the Big Ten received
little comment from local athletic
officials yesterday.
Leahy, writing in a notional
magazine, picked the University
of Michigan as one of the schools
which resented Notre Dame's
"dominant position in football,
and more recently, Michigan
State's."
UNIVERSITY Director of Inter-
collegiate Athletics, Prof. Herbert
0. (Fritz) Crisler, had only this to
say: "Mr. Leahy was always meti-
culous as a coach in details and in
accuracy. I wish he were as meti-
culous and accurate in his writ-
ing."
Football Coach Bennie Ooster-
baan refused to comment. NCAA
President, Dean A. B. Moore of
the University of Alabama grad-
uate school answered the article
saying that the NCAA was in-
fluenced only by facts in censur-
ing Notre Dame last year for

amending sections of the present
charter would be cumbersome, and
would also be a burden on local
voters.
The group did learn, however,
that it is possible to incorporate
present favorable sections of the
charter into a revised charter.
The necessity of revising the
charter now was pointed out by
committee members, in view of the
growing city. Prof. Robert C. An-
gell of the sociology department
predicted that Ann Arbor's popu-
lation would be as high as 100,000
within 50 years.
One of the main issues to be in-
cluded in a revised charter will be
reapportioning city wards. Brof.
Angell drew up three maps of pos-
sible warding zones. Pointing to
