As rumors and reports spread
that the recent hydrogen bomb
explosions in the Pacific had got-
ten out of control, Secretary of
Defense Charles E. Wilson and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
made statements yesterday on de-
feiise issues.

Wilson said "I don't think you .
should scare everybody so they

In a 5,000 word special message
laying down the foreign economic
\ policy of his Administration,
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
yesterday urged Congress to in-
crease his authority to cut tariffs l
and seize the initiative in smash-
ing "unjustifiable barriers" to'

The bid for more power to lower
import 'duties came as the heart
of a "bold" program that Eisen-
hower said would bolster the se-
curity and economic growth of the
United States and her allies.

Many-colored ballots covered 17
voting booth tables yesterday as
3,500 students cast votes for two
referenda and 87 candidates in the
running for 50 positions.
Monday's, unprecedented snow-
fall seemed to dent the expected

ALTHOUGH he refused to sum-
mon an immediate Big Three
meeting on atomic and hydrogen
weapons, Churchill made clearj
that he still hopes to meet with
Soviet Premier Malenkov and
President Eisenhower sometime in
the near future.
Meanwhile, top American of-
ficials apparently sought to calm
the wave of jitters that spread
around the world as a belated
report about the so-called "run-
away" H-bomb explosion.
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of
the Atomic Energy Commission,

Doubts were voiced here yesterday about the constitutional valid-
ity of a Wisconsin movement to recall Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
Initiated by Leroy Gore, editor of the Sauk Prairie Star, the re-
call campaign has already collected 125,000 signatures. According to
the Wisconsin law over 400,000 people must sign the 'Petition before
the special election can be called.

PROF. EVERETT BROWN of the political science department said
the recall motion was "undoubtedly unconstitutional." Referring;
.- .to the sections of the Constitution
1which deal with senatorial elec-
tions, he said they would leave no
loophole for a. recall provision.
