Thurmond Wins Write-in
S t r o m Thurmond, 1948 presi-
dential candidate of the States'
Rights party, was elected U.S. sen-
ator in a Democratic write-in
campaign.
It was the first time in history
that anyone had been elected to
either house of Congress as a
write-in candidate.
Thurmond defeated E d g a r
Brown, who was nominated by the
South Carolina Democratic Exec-
utive Committee, two days after
the Sept. 1 death of Sen. Burnet
Maybank.
Oklahoma: Sen. Robert S.
KERR (D), defeated Fred M.

Vote Leaflet
Condemned
DETROIT (R) - Fair election
practices committee, appointed
jointly by Gov. G. Mennen Wil-
liams and Donald S. Leonard to
make sure religious and racial is-
sues were kept out of the Michi-
gan gubernatorial campaign, to-
day condemned authors of a pam-
phlet being distributed in the 13th
congressional district.
On the surface, the pamphlet
urged Negro voters to support
Charles Diggs, a Negro Democrat,
who is running against Republican
Landon S. Knight. It was based
primarily on an appeal to Negroes
to support the Negro candidate.
Headed by Rt. Rev. Richard S.
Emrich, Episcopal Bishop of Mich-
igan, the governor'shcommittee
said in a statement the pamphlet
"oversteps all bounds of decency."
The committee said: "The leaf-
let is released in the 13th District
in predpminantly white neighbor-
hoods and shows pictures of sev-
eral Negro candidates. The exam-
ination of this leaflet' makes it
obvious that some persons have
deliberately planted this piece of
un-American literature in an at-
tempt to use racial prejudice
against Democratic candidates."

OUR HIGHER MIND
MANY EFFECTS:
Children's
Eye Flaws
Elusive
By KATHY SEVERANCE
Neglect of children's visual er-
rors will show up in their posture,
manual dexterity, intelligence and
personality.
Because children don't know
what normal vision is, they don't
know what something is wrong
With their eyes.
Even in schools where visual
screening is used to test children's
eyes, according to the Better Vis-
ion Institute in New York City, a
really thorough analysis is not pro-
vided ... wise parents must watch
their children for signs of eye
trouble.
Early school age children are
especially apt to strain their eyes,
which are still immature and vul-
nerable. School work, for them, is
of a near point of work type, and
a stAlin on young eyes.
Farsightedness Common
Farsightedness is c o m m o n
among younger children because
their eyes are so short from front
to back that they don't bring light
rays to a focus on the retina.
Fortunately the child has the
ability to change the shape of his
eye's lens so that it performs the
focusing job. Still this is hard for
him, and long concentration on ex-
acting work is not good.
Reading books with large print,
held upright at a distance of 15
inches, and reading for short in-
tervals is the best way for chil-
dren to read, according to the Bet-
ter Vision Institute.
Other visual problems common
among children are nearsighted-
ness, which can be corrected by
proper glasses, crossed eyes, and
astigmatism.
Regular Check Ups Advised
Regular eye check ups by a vis-
ual specialist are the best way to
prevent eye trouble. This should
be done at the age of three or four,
when the child enters school and
periodically after that.
The Better Vision Institute has
tricks for the middle aged person
as well, who needs more and more
light to see clearly.
By cupping his hand into a tiny
pinhole, and looking through it,
people over 40 years old can us-
ually distinguish phone numbers
in a dim liht.
Unfortunately this is a makeshift
emergency measure. Professional-
ly prescribed eyeglasses are the
only thing which can fill the daily
visual needs of such a person.
Help for Middle Aged
Trifocals are one answer, ac-
cording to many people 50 years
old with an average age of 56.3,
who have tried them so far.
These are continuous vision
lenses, which provide three zones
of seeing, the near, the middle
and the far.
Greatest enthusiasm about tri-
focals come from those whose oc-
cupations require unusual postures
or frequent changes in working
distance, such as shoe salesmen,
subway engineers, and factory ma-
chinery cleaners.
Menderhall Plans
Bible Talk Today
Prof. George E. Mendenhall of
the Department of Near Eastern
Studies will speak at 8 p.m. to-
day at the Hillel Bldg. on "The His-
torical and Ethical Sense of the
Bible."
The lecture is the first in a se-
ries entitled "The Legacy of Is-
rael," sponsored by Hillel Foun-
dation.

develop, since the mails cannot be

Conflicting rumors showed the
letters may have started either at
the University of Wisconsin or
Notre Dame.
Letters on MSC's campus were
mostly from Notre Dame, where
an assistant football coach and
several players signed them but
several students said that Notre
Dame received chain letters from
Wisconsin.
East Gets Letters
Both MSC and University stu-
dents said they had sent or
brought letters to a number of
Eastern schools, including Har-
vard, Yale and Princeton. Ohio
State and other Big Ten schools
may also have received them.
Students at MSC claimed it took
three days to sweep the campus.
One student reported a return of
$480 in only four days while oth-
ers said they had heard of large
"clean-ups" at Notre Dame.
Strike It Rich
A fraternity president at State
said, "From the looks of things,
this is the latest way to strike it
rich."
Dean of Men Walter B. Rea point-
ed out several fallacies showing
this was not necessarily true. First'
there is no guarantee that the
buyer will send $5.00 to the num-
ber one man.
Also, letters can be manipulated
and falsified to cut out names and
substitute others, giving all the
profits to one man.
Prof. James A. Nyswander of
disapproved by the students, the
top 23 winners would be elected
to SL, and the Student Legislature
would remain the governing body
on campus.

7,592. At one time Dickson held
the coroner's position for three
terms.
Running on a special non-parti-
san ballot, incumbent Robert V.
Fink appeared assured o. another
term in the office of circuit court
commissioner. He polled 4,140
votes, compared to 3,403 for Ar-
thur E. Carpenter and 3,370 for
Clan Crawford, Jr. Two offices are
vacant.
In tabulations for Ann Arbor
only, Republican John H. Flook
had received 9,345 votes against
4,964 for Democrat Harry E. Nor-

elected president of the Graduate
School of Library Science at its
annual el'ection last week.

sowsky, Grad., vice-president, Nan'
Adamson, Grad., secretary and

Elected to represent the school
on the Graduate Council were Da-
vid Kaser, Grad., and Paul Ed-
lund, Grad.

Levy said it was important that
the referendum be counted first
since, according to the Hare elec-
tion system, a different number of
votes would be necessary for elec-
tion to SGC than SL.
As of this morning 28 students
have taken petitions for the elec-
tions. Since there are 23 SL seats
open, petitioning has been extend-
ing to November 6 to increase the
number of candidates,
Should the SGC plan be -
proved Nov. 2,;petitioning will
again be opened for students who
wish to run for the new student
government system, but have not
petitioned for SL.
Varied SL Stands
Legislature members, caught i
the uncertainty of the student
government issue, have expressed
varying viewpoints on whether
they will or will not run for one
or the other government plans.

Von Boeventer
Cites German
Schools' Bias
Edwin von Boeventer, Grad., a
native of Germany, said at yes-
terday's Deutscher Verein program
"teachers who are neither Protes-
tant nor Catholic are discriminated
against" in Germany because of
the existing educational system.
Since most schools are parochial,
he added, teachers who don't be-
long to one of the major faiths
can't get jobs.
Main speaker of the program,
Dr. Alfred Weber, staff member of
a Detroit hospital, also said that
separated schools increase the gap
between Protestant and Catholic
groups.
Dr. Weber declared the bridging
of the gap between religions is
one of the chief problems of Chan-
cellor Konrad Adenauer's Chris-
tian-Democrat Union Party.
The CDU, he continued, has
gained great popularity among the
German people by raising their
standard of living after the war.
Richard Glass, '58, explained
some of the problems of an Ameri-
can GI in post-war Germany.
Prof. Marston Bates of the zool%)-
gy department, Prof. Stanley Cain

kept going for more than a short
while.
After the original 11 signers
have received their money, 2,048
people will be involved, each oft
whom will potentially involve an-
other 2,048 people.
8 Billion Involved
By the third round, more than
four times the earth's population,
8,589,934,592 people, would have to
buy letters to keep the scheme
going,
John E. Bingley, Assistant to
the Dean of Men, said, "I think
it's a lot of nonsense. I thought
people had gotten over this in the
thirties."
"The originator always collects

money," Dean Rea said.
