he tried to switch the investigation
to the Air Force and the Navy.
Sen. McClellan, cross-examin-
ing Stevens, said the Army sec-
retary could have granted a di-
rect commission to McCarthy
aide G. David Schine but re-
fused to do so.
"The implication is here," said
the stern-voiced Sen. McClellan,j
"that you were trying to buy off
this committee, the Senate inves-
tigations subcommittee from in-
vestigating the Army."
BEFORE Stevens could reply,
Sen. McCarthy heatedly contended
Sen. McClellan was making a
"completely improper and unfair"
suggestion that he--McCarthy--
"could be bought off."
Sen. McClellan snapped back
at Sen. McCarthy: "You can
think anything you want."
"This chairman," said Sen. Mc-,
Carthy, the subcommittee's regu-
lar chairman though he's stepped
down for these hearings, "has
never been bought off any hearing
and never will be bought off any'
hearing."
Jenkins suggested the Army sec-
retary went out of his way to be,
"tender" toward Schine in the
hope of pleasing Sen. McCarthy{
and getting the investigation of
the Army called off-or, as the
lawyer put it, head off "this three-
headed monster you say was about
to devour you."

GENEVA, Switzerland-The 19
nations called together by the Big
Four to try to guide Asia to peace
met yesterday and decided to turn
at once to the problem of Korea.
But the urgent question of war-
torn Indochina's fate over-shad-
owed. the Korean issue in many
minds.

FRENCH FOREIGN Minister
Georges Bidault Issued a statement
as the conference opened accusing
the Vietminh of violating the rules
of war in Indochina in refusing to
let the French fly out their "hund-
reds and hundreds" of wounded
from Dien Bien Phu.
Bidault did not Issue the
statement at the conference, but
it obviously was meant for the
ears of the delegates. He asked
for some action to allow the be-
leaguered garrison a temporary
truce to send out its wounded.
A yesterday's session, the dele-
gates organized their procedure in
31 minutes. But they faced a long,
rocky road to the goal set for
them.
SETTLING the question of the
conference chairmanship swiftly,
the delegates decided to plunge
into debate today on the long-
smouldering Korean issue.
Pyun Yung Tai, foreign mxin-
ister of South Korea, is expect-
ed to deliver a bitter denuncia-
tion of Communist aggression in
his country coupled with de-
mands of unification of the na-
Ition.
The conference will be handed
at its second sessionthe .Korean
problem which has harassed the
United Nations for four years.
The perilous problems which
confront the West seemed per-
sonified in the short, impassive
man who sat in front of Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
during yesterday's session. He
was Chou En-lai, Red China's
foreign minister,
e Soviet Union is determined
to bring Chou and China into the
world's councils on an equal foot-
ing with the Big Four. The United
States is just as firmly opposed to
such recognition of a nation which

At present no sorority has a bias
clause and there are only 13 frater-
nities left still condoning discrim-
inatory practices.
Unlike the attempts to remove
bias clauses here, Minnesota has
never considered setting a time
limit to force organizations into
compliance with its system.
Consequently the University of
Minnesota president has never
been pressed into making a deci-
sion on the issue. University pres-
idents Alexander Ruthven and
Harlan Hatcher vetoed Student
Legislature attempts in 1951 and
1952 respectively to set a time limit
for bias clauses removal.
Prof. Carver
To Be Given
Civilian Award
Prof. Harry C. Carver of the
mathematics department will be
honored today by being presented
with the Air Force's Exceptional
Service award for his scientific
contributions to aeronautical navi-
gation.
The citation, second highest a
civilian may receive from the
armed forces, wink be made by Maj.
Gen. Gabriel P. Disosway, Com-
mander of Flying Training Air
Force, Waco, Tex., in a formal
ceremony at 2:00 p.m. on Ferry
Field.
Presentation ceremonies will in-
clude a review of local Air Force
ROTC cadets.
Prof. Carver's work for the Air
Force consisted of shortening the
time needed in computing a
plane's geographical position by
celestial methods.
During World War II the time
required by a navigator to deter-
mine his position amounted to
twenty minutes. By working out
new mathematical theories and
bette' methods of computation,
Prof. Carver has reduced this time
to only 10 seconds.
These quicker and more efficient
methods of navigation are report-
edly invaluable to jet pilots.
