Committee Gives
Warren Approval
President Eisenhower Squelches
Charges Leveled Against Nominee
By The Associated Press
A Senate subcommittee in Washington hurriedly, approved Earl
Warren for chief justice of the United States yesterday after the pub-
licizing of unchecked charges against him produced a roar of angry
reaction.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower stepped into the row with a
statement that Warren is "one of the finest public servants this
country has ever produced."
THE PRESIDENT volunteered his comment at his Palm Springs,
Calif. vacation headquarters shortly after a Senate Judiciary sub-
committee headed by Sen. Langer

Michigan G rapplers
Top State
- Admits Part
rIn Snapping
Hiss Papers
ALBANY, N.Y. -. (A) - A Mos-
cow-trained American photogra-
pher yesterday confessed after 15
years of silence that he had filmed
the famed "Pumpkin Papers" that
led to the perjury conviction of
Alger Hiss.
Felix A. Inslerman, now a 44-
year-old draftsman living in Cam-
bridge, N.Y., testified before Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) that
he had photographed State De-
partment documents for the Whit-
taker Chamber spy ring in 1937
and 1938, although not a card-
carrying Red.
SITTING as a one-man Senate
Investigations subcommittee, Mc-
Carthy ended a two-day public
hearing here by ordering two em-
ployes of the General Electric Co.
plant at Schenectady thrown out
of the federal courtroom.
McCarthy called the hearing
as part of his investigation of
alleged Communists at the GE
and other defense plants. Insler-
man once worked for GE as an
electrical engineer on a guided
* missile project.
Inslerman's confession came as
a surprise, since he twice had re-
' fused to testify about his role in
the Red underground.
He said he had photographed
documents from "some time in
late 1937" to "the late spring or
summer of 1938."
* * *
HE RECALLED seeing on the
papers the names "Grew" and
"Bullitt"-apparently referring to
Joseph Clark Grew, former U.S.
Ambassador to Japan, and William
C. Bullitt, wh was envoy to Rus-
sia and later to France.
Chambers, a confessed ex-
courier for the Red under-
ground, led FBI men in 1948 to
a hollow pumpkin on his farm
in Westminster, Md., and pro-
duced microfilmed copies of 47
State Department documents.
"Pumpkin Papers" were the
main prosecution evidence in Hiss'
two trials on charges of perjury.
Griller String
Group To Give
Final Concert
The Griller String Quartet will
present the last concert of the
Chamber Music Festival at 2:30
p.m. today in Rackham Auditor-
ium,
On the program will be the Bach
and Mozart "Five Fugues," Ed-
mund Rubbra's "Quartet No. 2 in
E-flat, Op. 73" and Beethoven's
"Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 127."
* * *
NOW IN ITS 24th year, the
quartet has remained together
without change in personnel. Each
man in the group has been made
a Fellow of the Royal Academy of
Music in London, while first vio-
linist Sidney Griller was made
Commander of the Order of the
British Empire by the late King
George VI.
After graduation together
from the Royal Academy, the
quartet lived and practiced in
an abandoned box-car in the
south of England. Between 1929
and 1939 the group, which -in-
cludes second violinist Jack
O'Brien, violist Philip Burton
and violoncellist Colin Hampton,
performed in over a thousand
concerts throughout Great Brit- I
(R-ND) voted to recommend con-
firmation of Warren's appintment
to the nation's No. 1 judicial post.
Langer, who ordered a public
recital of 10 unevaluated accusa-
tions against Warren late Fri-
day, was still at odds with mem-
bers of the subcommittee-this
time over whether yesterday's
vote was unanimous.
Langer said Warren's confirma-
tion was recommended "by a ma-
jority." He said he had simply vot-
ed to send the nomination to the
full Judiciary Committee for ac-
tion. But Sen. Welker (R-Idaho),
who attended the closed-door ses-
sion, said the vote was unanimous.
"I know what I'm talking about,"
Welker snapped.
* * *
IN PALM SPRINGS the Presi-
dent said "My comments on Gov-
ernor Warren will be limited mere-
ly to my own opinion-my posi-
tion.
"My high opinion of him and
my confidence in him is demon-
strated by the fact that I nom-
inated him for one of the high-
est offices in the land.
"I did this on the basis of my
knowledge of him and my appre-
ciation of his great qualities.
"Every contact I have had with
him since he came to Washington
-and all I have heard about him
-has served only to increase my
confidence in him and my high
opinion of him," the President
added.
THE NOMINATION, which has
been hanging fire since Eisenhower
sent it to the Senate Jan, 11, now
goes to the full committee, also
headed by Langer. The eight Re-.
publicans and seven Democrats on
the full committee are scheduled
to act on it Wednesday.
. Among other things, Warren
was accused by various critics of
following the "Marxist line," of ap-
pointing dishonest judges when he
was governor of California, and of
having been under the control of
a liquor lobbyist.
India Sparks
Indochina Plan
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(P)
-India last night was reported
preparing to start a move for a
cease-fire between the French and
Communist-led Vietminh forces to
end the long war in Indochina.
India's plan is expected to be
disclosed in New Delhi tomorrow
by Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru.
* * *
THE MOVE apparently is being
timed to get attention at the Ko-
rean peace conference being ar-
ranged for Geneva, Switzerland,
late in April.
The Geneva conference is be-
Ing held mainly as a Korean
parley with Red China as a par-
ticipant, but it also may range
over the Indochina situation as
well.
American attention has been
brought to bear sharply on Indo-
china recently by President Eis-
enhower's decision sending airj
technicians to help service planes
used by the French.

Chin's Goal

Nets Victory
Win Keeps Sextet
I Playoff Bid
By DAVE BAAD
Two late second period scores by
Doug Philpott and George Chin
enabled Michigan's hockey team
to erase a one goal deficit last
night and defeat the Michigan'
Statp Spartans 3-2 before a noisy
sellout crowd at the Coliseum.
The victory, the eleventh in 17
starts for the Wolverines, kept the
team in contention for a berth in
next month's NCAA playoffs.
FRIDAY NIGHT, Colorado Col-
lege upset third place North Dako-
ta, 5-2, to preserve Maize and Blu
chances which had apparently di-
minished after the Spartans tied
Vic Heyliger's sextet in the series
opener at East Lansing.
The two payoff Michigan
goals, came within a minute of
each other in the latter stages of
the middle session, to break wide
open what had been a rather
sloppy close checking contest.
Sophomore Neil Buchanan set -
up the tying marker with a 35 foot
screen shot which Spartan goalie
Ed Schiller just kicked away in
time. The rebound fell in front of
the goal crease and in the ensuing
scramble Bill MacFarland' and Jay
Goold both slapped at the puck
before Philpott finally slipped It
across the line just inside the right
post.

Chin notched the winning score
exactly 59 seconds later.
The stocky wing climaxed a
pretty pass play involving also
Cooney and Mullen with what he
called after the game one of the
best shots he has made in college
hockey. He caught the short left
side with a hard 15 foot back-
hand drive.
After this the defensive minded
Spartans took the offensive and
the last period wasone of the
year's most exciting stanzas of ice
action.
HOWEVER, both Schiller and
Michigan goalie Willard Ikola were
equal to the occasion, making sev-
eral classy saves during the final
20 minutes.
Schiller, who saved 32 times
during the evening, was injured
in the warmup session before
the game. .

Cleary To Run
For Governor
Secretary of State Owen J.
Cleary yesterday announced his
candidacy for governor on the Re-
publican ticket at a reception in
his honor in McKenny Hall on
Ypsilanti's Michigan Normal cam-
pus.
Cleary is the fourth Republican
candidate for the post.
WITH MORE than 600 people
present, Cleary said he was en-
tering the race in the belief that
he can help advance President
Eisenhower's program in Michi-
gan.
"I am in complete agreement
with the Eisenhower -program
and philosophy," he said. "I be-
lieve it is a program and a phil-
osophy under which Michigan
and its people can prosper and
grow strong."
Cleary, a graduate of the Uni-
versity Law School, served in the
army during the first world war
and helped organize the Michigan
State Troops for home duty in

TIHE IMPORTANCE of personal
contact also came out in the dis-
cussion on participation in extra-
curricular activities. Enthusiasm
in recruiting students for activi-
ties should be tempered in rela-
tion to the individual, the group
advised.
On the question of co-ed dorm
living, the group approved what
they termed a "successful ex-
periment." It was suggested that
a woman's unit be added to each
of the men's quadrangles, and
that men's facilities be brought
up to the "Hill."
The Workshop also considered
setting up alumni associations for
residence halls units. A commit-
tee to organize and set-up a file of
current alumni addresses was pro-
posed for each dormitory.

Small Tax Cut
WASHINGTON -- (') - Sen.

limited tax reductions this year if
it is to retain any hope of balanc-

Bridges, who heads the Senate
Appropriations Committee, said
he believes it is too early yet to tell
whether tax cuts will be necessary
to help ward off an economic re-.
cession.

dicated he believes Sen. Walter

cut is too big a slice for Congress
to make out of the revenues now.
