Davis is at pres ent unemployed. Prof. Bott added that contribu tions may be sent to the Emer gency Fund Committee for H. C Davis, Rm. 3006, Angell Hall.

Hough of the physic department and Hans Samelson o the mathematics department. Upon learning of the commit tee's plans, Davis said, "My feel ings about the plan are mixed. "Naturally I'm gratified at th committee's concern," he added But Davis continued that "th responsibility for my unemploy ment is the Regents', not my col leagues'. It is the Regents who ow me severance pay." The University Board pf Re gents issued a statement at it; Nov. 12 meeting that "the circum stances do not warrant severanci pay". Letter Asks Pay Having been circulated throug various Literary College depart- ments for signatures of sponsors the committte's letter calls atten tion to the Literary College facult resolution recommending sever- ance pay for Davis. The resolution was presented t the Regents at their Novembe meeting. A few copies of the letter have not yet been returned to the com mittee, so that a final total of sponsors is not yet available. The committee has indicate that its purpose in collecting the money is to provide support fo Davis' wife and family. No 'Appropriateness' Stand Prof. Copi pointed out the com- mittee is taking no stand on the appropriateness or inappropriate- ness of the dismissal. Davis was dismissed by the Re- gents in August for refusing to answer questions by a House Un- American Activities Subcommittee. Davis was subsequently indicted for contempt of Congress. -He is now fighting the case in the Fed- eral District Court in Grand Rap- ids. r Paint Quarters Sought by CSP "We're still looking for a place to hold our painting party," Leah Marks, '55L, chairman of the Com- mon Sense Party, announced yes- terday. "Although we originally sched- uled the party at Stockwell, we have since learned that only groups living in the residence hall may hold gatherings such as ours there without the approval of the Board of Governors of Residence Halls," Because of a lack of funds, the CSP intends to paint campaign posters at the party, "The meeting is still planned for Friday at 7 p.m., and we would be grateful for any offers of a place to hold it," Miss Marks con- tinued. "We are also investigating the possibilities of using some oth- er University facilities."

IFC Group OK's Coop Plan Move By DAVE BAAD Interfratemiity Council's Execu- tive Council last night authorized another effort to establish a work- able fraternity Cooperative Buy- ing program. On a motion by Pete Dow, '55. the Executive Council asked IFC Services Chairman Keith Coats, '56, to further investigate frater- nity marketing and form a Coop Buying Plan based on the opera- tion at Pennsylvania State Col- lege. The motion emphasized the Executive Council's support of Coop Buying. Follows Fall Report IFC's action followed a report by Coats on a cooperative buying investigation held this fall.

But the Willow Run government weather bureau forecaster said yesterday such snowball battles won't be possible today. Snow, he said, will probably not fall today, although temperatures will again be in the low 30's.

Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) on the first of three censure charges against him and cleared the way for final action on two other counts today. The action amounted to a vote of guilty on the charge Sen. Mc- Carthy obstructed the Senate and acted contrary to its traditions in failing to help a subcommittee which investigated him in 1951 and 1952, and in "abusing" the group's members. Sen. McCarthy did not vote on the censure resolution but de- nounced it as "a foul job" and said the American people know "I am being censured because I dared to do the 'dishonorable' thing of ex- posing Communists in govern- ment." Charges Forgery The Wisconsin Republican also got a wholly new investigation started by charging that forgery and suppression of evidence have been used against him. In an outgrowth of this charge, Sen. William Knowland of Cali- fornia, the Republican leader, named a special committee to look into the alleged checking of sena- tors' incoming mail by unauthor- ized persons. All Democrats present and 23 Republicans joined in voting to "condemn" Sen. McCarthy's be- havior toward the Hennings-Hay- den - Hendrickson subcommittee which investigated his financial and other affairs in 1951 and 1952. Sen. Knowland and 19 other Re- publicans backed Sen. McCarthy. The vote came after a series of at- tempts to spare the Wisconsin sen- ator from censure were defeated by similar lopsided margins. Other Charges Told Still to be disposed of are charg- es that Sen. McCarthy: 1. Abused Brig Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker when the general appear- ed as a witness before McCarthy's Permanent Investigations sub- committee. He's likely to get more than 20 votes on that count. 2. Abused the Watkins commit- tee which recommended he be censured on the two other counts. Sen. McCarthy has called the com- mittee an "unwitting handmaiden of the Communist party." Dulles Sees Possible Red China Block WASHINGTON IAP-Scretary of State John Foster Dulles said yes- terday the United States might blockade Red China if peaceful means fail to protect the rights of 13 Americans jailed by Peiping on spy charges. He said he was confident, but not certain, that peaceful means would be sufficient. Dulles made the statement dur- ing a news conference which he opened by announcing agreement with Nationalist China on a mutual defense treaty pledging the United States to retaliate, probably against, the Communist-held China main- land, if the Reds attack the Na- tionalist stronghold of Formosa. "Security Link" The treaty, Dulles said, would be signed sometime this week. He said it is "another link in the sys- tion only rule on alleged questionable decisions of the council. One innovation in the SGC plan involves the inclusion of anj administrative secretary appointed by the Student Affairs Vice-Presi- dent who would record proceedings of the Council but have no vote. An important part of the SGC proposal, included as an addendum item in the plan, is the recommendation that a student tax be as- sessed on a semester basis as a means of financing student govern- ment. The campus has al'eady approved a proposed 25 cent per semes- ter per student tax in an all-campus referendum last year. Civil Liberties Group To Hear Seven Discuss Loyalty Cases Seven "defenders of the First Amendment" will discuss salient points in their individual cases of refusing to answer questions by Con- gressional committees investigating Communism at a meeting of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee in New York City, December 15. Included in the group is H. Chandler Davis, former University mathematics instructor who was dismissed from the faculty by the Regents in August. He refused to tell a House subcommittee his po- litical beliefs and affiliations. The dinner is being held to celebrate the 163rd anniversary of the Bill of Rights. In addition to Davis, Corliss Lamont, Columbia University philosophy lecturer who was indicted in October for con- tempt of Congress, will speak. The Emergency Civil Liberties Committee was founded in the sum- mer of 1953. One of the founders was author Irving F. Stone. Members of the national council of the ECLU include Dr. Nan- cy Morse Study Director of the University Survey Research Center.

Zerman blames part of the plan's failure on lack of alumni support, necessary for continuity of such a system. A five man alumni Board of Trustees guides the Penn State program. Although IFC alumni in a meet- ing Tuesday were pessimistic about possibilities of coop buy- ing, Zerman thought lack of know- ledge of the present situation was responsible for the alumni atti-, tude.
