WASHINGTON-OP)-Sen. Mc-t
-1 Carthy (R-Wis.) . said yesterdayx
that Adlai Stevenson lied on one
phase of .Communism in govern-!
ment and that commentator Ed-)
ward R. Murrow was once de-
scribed as an adviser to a "Com-
munist propaganda school."
Striking back at a string of
critics, McCarthy said, too, that
he would take the word of Abra-
ham Lincoln over that of Sen.
Ralph Flanders (R-Vt.), as to
where the peril to the nation lies.
McCARTHY quoted Lincoln as
saying that if the nation is de-
stroyed it will be destroyed froml
within, while Flanders recentlyJ
held that the real Communist

Of Residents
Considered
Group Rejects
Settlement Plan
By GENE HARTWIG
The Residence Halls Board of
Governors yesterday postponed
action on possible conversion of
men's housing for women pending
thorough discussion of the prob-
lem with all student groups con-
cerned.
Student opinion will be consid-
ered Tuesday when the Board is
scheduled to hear representatives
of groups concerned in the pro- -
posed changes.
A suggested solution submitted
jointly by Manager of Service En-
terprises Francis C. Shiel, Dean
of Women Deborah Bacon and
Acting Dean of Students Walter
B. Rea will form the basis of dis.
cussion.
THE PROPOSAL recommends
the following:
1) "That Chicago House in
West Quad (presently occupied by
women) be reestablished (for
men) as a part of South Quad-
rangle by dividing Taylor House
into two units."
2) "The space thus released in
the West Quadrangle remain 'free-
standing' to serve whichever de-
mand is the greater, and that
women have a priority for it in
the fall of 1954-55."
3) "In view of the stated Uni-
versity policy, the special needs of
womeh students be recognized and
Fletcher Hall be converted to the
use of women on a permanent
basis."
Discussion at the meeting cen.
tered around this proposal which
was finally withdrawn in favor
of the plan to investigate the
whole problem more thorough-
ly from the student point of
view before reaching a decision.
All available expressions of stu-
dent opinion in letters and peti-
tions were presented to the Board.
The joint proposal was prefaced
by a statement of present condi-
tions :
1) "That in a situation where
the demand exceeds the supply,
it has been the policy of the Uni-
versity to place the needs of its
women students first."
2) "That all the thinking of the
Administrative offices of the Uni-
versity is pointed in one direction;
namely, to effect a minimum of
disturbance to established house
groups or institutions."
3) "That before any action can
be taken, careful consideration
must be given to committments
made to the University's alumni
of Chicago and to recommenda-
tions of the Inter-House Council
and Assembly with respect to the
future of Chicago House.
DEAN REA as chairman of the
Board of Governors will meet with
the University alumni group in
Chicago Monday to discuss the
proposal for transfering Chicago
House to South Quad..
Chicago alumni have express-
ed considerable disapproval of
the University's action in con-
verting Chicago House for wom-
en's use last fall.
In its meeting Tuesday the
Board plans to hear representa-
tives of the IHC, Assembly, Fletch-
er Hall and Chicago and Taylor
Houses.
A second meeting is expected
to be held within the next two
weeks for a final decision on the
issue.
OPPOSITION to postponing the
decision was voiced by Dean Ba-
con and Assistant Dean of Women
Elsie Fuller who said that plans
for women's housing next year
must be made now and unfortun-
ate last minute decisions avoided.
Prof. John Dawson of the Law
School, phrasing his motion for
ment aadead:
"We are even more perturbed,
however,by the unrelenting at-
titude adopted. by President
Hatcher in decreeing that sen-
iors must be officially graduated.
"Made without consultation of
students last spring, no serious ef-
fort has been made by the Presi-
dent to change this policy and at
the same time solve the entire
problem of speedup examinations
for seniors."
The statement was signed by
student members of the calendar-
ing committee John Black, '54,
Howard Nemorovski, '54, Ruth
Rossner, '55, and Eric Vetter, '54.
Lucy Landers, '55, has replaced
Sue Popkin, '54, on the commit-
tee.

How the result will affect the

said it means there will be no
statehood for either Hawaii or

said that isn't necessarily so.
But one thing was certain-
Democrats were almost solidly con-
