Wilson Nixon Declares 'Plus' for GOP By The Associated Press Repercussions from Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson's dis- sertation on dogs still echoed the political front yesterday, with Vice- President Richard M. Nixon pre- dicting the whole thing would wind, up as a "plus" item in the GOP campaign. Wilson himself has apologized for his remarks at a Detroit news conference Monday. He told a Re- publican rally in Chicago Wednes- day night that he "made a mis- take -an unfortunate mistake - bringing up those bird dogs at the same time I was talking about peo- Iple." But the defense chief added that his meaning was "distorted by our left wing opponents."

V - Hurri- cane' Hazel, gaining speed and ex- pected to move still faster, aimed its death-dealing fury at the North Carolina coast last night. The season's most vicious tropi- cal storm, with winds of 130-miles an hour and moving north-north- k west at 25 to 30 m.p.h., was ex- pected to strike land near Wilming- ton, N.C., about 5 a.m. The Mia- mi Weather Bureau warned that winds would increase along the coast north of the storm through- out the night. Coastal dwellers from Wilming- ton, N.C., northward worked fe- verishly to prepare against the 130- mile wind which caused uncounted deatpi and destruction as it lum- bered through the Caribbean. Storm-wary New Englanders, al- ready. battered by two death-deal- ing hurricanes this year, hurried preparations against Hazel just in case the storm maintained its course and hit there, ' All along the coast from Charles- ton, S.C., to Block Island storm warnings were hoisted and the Weather Bureau cautioned against dangerous winds and high tides. The Weather Bureau said Hazel was centered about 275 miles east of Daytona Beach, Fla., and 'about 350 miles southeast of Wilmington at 8 p.m. A Navy reconnaissance plane planned to keep tabs on the hurri- cane by radar throughout the night. Sedition Laws Before Court WASHINGTON {(N - Whether States may prosecute alleged sub- versives under their own sedition laws or must leave the field ex- clusively to the federal govern- ment will be decided by the Su- preme Court. The court, in its first business session of the new term, agreed yesterday to review a Pennsylva- nia Supreme Court decision throw- ing out the conviction of Stee Nelson, w e s t d r n Pennsylvania Communist party leader, en charg- es of violating the state's sedition act. The Pennsylvania court ruled that sedition against the United States is a federal offense and can be prosecuted only in federal courts. Last Chance For Pictures Today is the last day to sign up for Senior pictures. Students may sign up between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on the Diag and between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Student Publications Bldg. Seniors who have missed appointments and have not arranged another time to have their pictures taken have been urged to make appointments today since Monday is the last day pictures will be taken. Proofs should be returned imme- diately from 12 noon to 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, to the Student Publica- tions Bldg., according to Dick Har- the remaining receive a non-af- fective injection. SStudens taking part in the ex- periment will not be informed of the contents of their innoculation. Director of University HealthI Service Dr. Warren Forsythe em- phasized that students desiring flu vaccine may receive it without be- coming part of the experiment. Expect December Epidemic Four to six weeks are necessary for the immunity derived from the vaccine to accumulate. Since Health officials expect a possible flu epidemic in December the shots will be administered in early November so that immunity will have time to develop in flu vac- cine innoculated students. Because of the careful supervi- sion necessary and santiation problems, mobile units will not be used for the experiment. Pan-Hellenic officials will ask sorority presidents to volunteer support of the tests at their meet- ing Tuesday. Controlled studies on old vac- cines have taken place in the past but the former vaccines offered far from complete protection.

You know, one who'll get out and hunt for food rather' than sit on his fanny and yell." This brought a roar of protest' from union leaders, Democrats and even some members of Wilson's own party. Wilson returned last night from his turbulent speech making trip saying that he hoped his campaign- ing was "wound up." No More Speeches He told reporters, who. met him at the airport, that he knew of no p 1 a n s for additional political speeches. Obviously referring to the controversy that grew out of his press conference remarks about dogs and the unemployed, he said with a grin "I'm not in the humor" to make any more politi- cal speeches. He was asked if he regarded the bird dog incident as closed. He said: "I would think so." Wilson said he hoped the "Presi- dent wasn't worried about it; he has enough to worry about." In answer to a question, he said he had not talked with President Dwight D. Eisenhower since the controversy arose. Nixon Claims Distortion Nixon, in Houston, Tex., on a speech-making tour ,told a news conference yesterday that left wing elements and "dumbocrats" dis- torted Wilson's statement, withthe first "bark" coming from CIO President Walter Reuther.

Prof. Ward Suggests 11 Red China Recognition' By MARY ANN THOMAS Prof. Robert E. Ward of the political science department suggest- ed that the United States withdraw support from Formosa and rec- ognize Red China at a meeting of the Young Democrats yesterday. Speaking on "The Formosan Situation and Its Effect on the Far East," the specialist in Asian affairs explained that Formosa isn't a valuable link in the Asian defense chain and it isn't valuable to Red Never Too Old IOLA, Kan. (')-An Iola man who will be 100 years old next May was granted a divorce yes- terday and was told he must, not get married again within the next six months. Thomas K. Kimzey asked for the decree and told Judge Spen- cer Gard he wanted to get the divorce before he is 100 years old. Kimzey and his wife, Mrs. Clara Kimzey, 70, were married in Pickneyville, Ill., in 1945. They lived together at Iola un- til 1952 when, Kimzey said, she left him. Davis Says Issue Not Yet Closed Policy of AAUP Cited in Case By MURRY FRYMER Secretary of the University Re- gents Herbert G. Watkins said yesterday that the Regents had decided against giving severance pay to former mathematics In- structor H. Chandler Davis at its meeting of Aug. 26. He said the matter was a closed issue. Davis, when hearing of Wat- kins' comment last 'niglit, said that the matter was not a closed issue. "It is unheard of," said Davis, "for a University, especially one such as the University of Michi- gan, to refuse severance pay. I consider Prof. Nickerson and I en- titled to severance pay as provided. by the AAUP statement of policy." AAUP Statement According to this statement, en- dorsed by the American Associa- tion of University Professors in 1941, "teachers on continuous ap- pointment whop are dismissed for reasons not involving moral tur- pitude.should receive their salaries for at least a year from the date of notification of dismissal wheth- er or not they are continued in their duties at the institution." Watkins said that Davis was no- tified of the Regents decision on the severance pay issue in a Sept. 28 letter written by the Secretary4. Davis said that the crucial word in that letter is "indicated." Ac- cording to the letter, he said, the Regents had only "indicated" that there would be no compensation. Director of University Relations, Arthur L. Brandon, commented yesterday that the problem for the University concerning severance pay was "where to get the mon- ey. The University has no set policy on the .question of compensation, he added. Jelin Clarifies Question Meanwhile Steve Jelin, '55, Stu- dent Legislature President, yester- day attempted to clear up the ques- tion of Davis' failure .to appear at Wednesday night's SL meeting. Jelin said that previous to the meeting he and Davis had decided that it would be "difficult and un- necessary" for Davis to appear. The former mathematics instruc- tor had been expected at the meet- ing to clarify certain points on the severance pay motion which SL, -was considering. Earlier Wednesday, according to Jelin, Dean of Men Walter'B. Rea had told the SL President that his office and other administrative of- fices had been receiving many calls from administration and faculty members questioning the SL right to hear Davis at an open meet- ing, and the SL right to consider severance pay for a faculty mem-. ber at all. "Unjustified. Projection" Last night Dean Rea said, "I thought it was an unjustified pro- jection of SL's interest into the academic area." He added that he, thought the problem was one un- related to students. However both Dean Rea and Jelin said that the questioi of whether Davis would be invited to speak was not resolved at their discussion. Jelin said it was as a result of the agreement between IDavis and himself that Davis' at- tendance at the meeting was un- necessary to consider the motion. Instead, whatever facts that were thought' necessary for de- bate were relayed by Davis to SL treasurer Larry Harris, '56. The motion proposing compen- sation for Davis was sent back to committee for further study Wed- nesday by an SL vote of 26-3. Just Tired Of School MEXICO CITY (P)-About 500 students went on the ram- page in Mexico City yesterday for no apparent reason, break- ing into movie theaters and trying to take over a bus. Po- lice broke up the disorders and arrested 31. No one was hurt. Some of the students said they weren't celebrating any- thing or protesting anything-- just tired of going to school. Postmaster Flans Salary Demands PHILADELPHIA (P)-Postmas- ter General' Arthur E. Summerfield said last night a demand for sal- ary increases for postal workers will be renewed when Congress reconvenes. Addressing the convention of the national Assn. of postmasters in Convention Hall, Summerfield said an increase in postage rates would be linked with the salary de-' mand. 1 1 1 China for offensive purposes. "The Communists can strike just as effectively from the mainland," he commented. Troops Ineffective Although Formosa was sold to Americans as a "bastion of strength," Prof. Ward warned that Chiang's former real-guard forces totaling 600,000 are too old for effective servict, ana no potential for added manpower is available. Prof. Ward urged that Formosa be used as a bargaining point with the Chinese Communists to secure some stability in the Far East. He further commented that the issues of recognizing Red Chi- na or of ,its admittance to the UN could be bargaining points for set- tlement, of the Indo-China con- flict. Reds Prefer Hot Issue Refering to the Quemoy clash, Prof. Ward asserted, "It is to the advantage of the Communists to keep the Formosa issue hot to act as a possible wedge between Brit- ish-American relations. "The Brit- ish are very touchy about the For- mosan problem," he added. Continuing, he expressed doubt whether Chinese Reds will ser- iously carry through an attack on Formosa "if they can do so well politically without it."

In a test case, the Gideons of- fered Bibles to school children in Rutherford, N.J., and the school board approved the distribution to pupils whose parents signed re- quests.
