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." USSRAttacks EUGENE HARTWIG . LOIS POLLAK ... Managing Editor ... Business Manager On Wounded C hairman Chosen In First Session By The Associated Press 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 fought United Nations troops in ' i. , .{ .# DOROTHY MYERS ... City Editor JON SOBELOFF . . Editorial Director PAT ROELOFS . #. .Associate City Editor All appointment photos by Chuck Kelsey 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. Omicron Pi and Phi Kappa Tau.
