Hatcher Pleased
By SGC Response
Vice-President Lewis Expresses Hope
For Early Action by Regents Board
By DAVE BAAD
University officials and student government study committee mem-
bers were impressed yesterday over final results of the two-day stu-
dent poll on Student Government Counch.
University President Harlan H. Hatcher and Vice-President for
Student Affairs James A. Lewis both expressed pleasure over the size
of student response to the SGC referendum.
Calling the 5,102 to 1,451 margin for SGC impressive, Vice-Presi-
dent Lewis said he is very hopeful there will be action soon by the
Board of Regents.
The results of Wednesday's and Thursday's poll, will be presented
to the Regents at their Dec. 17 meeting.
Although making no comment on probability of Regental action,
President Hatcher said again there is no question of the Regents' sin-
cerity in trying to bring University
students responsible student gov-
ernment.
Jones, Britton Pleased
Prof. Kenneth L. Jones of the
botany department and Prof. W.
Earl Britton of the engineering
school, both members of the stu-
dent government study committee,
were pleased over the strong stu-
dent backing for SGC.
"The vote indicated students
have interest in student govern-
ment and SGC is a reasonable start
toward that goal," Prof. Jones
said.
Prof. Britton, happy over the
fine turnout of voters, expressed
pleasure over the clear-cut 3%-1i
decision. "I was afraid of a 3-2 vote
or even closer," he said.
Disappointed that only 36 per
cent of the studentsavotedwhen an
issue as important as SGC was on
'> the ballot, Student Legislature
President Steve Jelin, '55, still
called the large pro-SGC margin
significant.
Education of Voter
"It indicates no mistake in SGC
support," he said,."but I still have
reservations as to the education of
the voter."
"I feel many voted for SGC be-
cause of the tremendous campus
organizational drive for passing
the proposed Laing plan. Many vot-
ers voted for SGC without realizing
exactly what they were voting
for," Jelin continued.
Jelin said SL would now return
again to "watchful speculation."
"Since the two Regents members
most interested in SGC, Vera B.
Baits and J. Joseph Herbert, will
be absent Dec. 17 I personally very
much doubt it will pass at that
meeting," Jelin concluded.
Seeing no reason for SL not oper-
ating in the next few months, Vice-
President Lewis said he hopes SL
will think of the present situation
as a process of advance in student
government.
SGC Elections in February
If the Regents pass SGC Dec.
17, Vice-President Lewis said pres-
ent ideas call for SGC elections in
mid-February.
"The SGC study committee
thought elections before the end of
the semester impossible because
of exam conflicts," he said.
A month would be needed after
elections to set up SGC and trans-
fer the SL and Student Activities
Committee functions to the new
organization, he continued.
"However, it would be best if
SGC were set up before the pres-
ent crop of student leaders leave
their posts because their experi-
ence will be valuable in getting
SGC under way," Vice-President
Lewis concluded.

By The Associated Press
Dr. Jonas E. Salk of Pittsburgh
reported in New York yesterday
new evidence that his polio vac-
cine can create powerful, long-
lasting protection against polio.
He hinted that knowledge being
learned in the polio work might
show the way someday for vaccines
giving long-term protection against
zthe common cold and influenza.
Meanwhile in Washington, pub-
lic health officials recommended
priority for receiving Salk polio
vaccine from public health sources
be given more schoolchildren, rath-
er than pregnant women as has
been proposed.
f The Association of State and Ter-
ritorial Health Officers recom-
mended the states and territories
undertake administration of any
vaccine that may be made avail-
able to them from the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
to.
1) Individuals included in groups
tudied in 1954, but who did not re-
ceive vaccine. (Two groups were
used in studies, some of whom did
and some of whom did not receive
vaccine).
2) School children in first and
second grades.
The Salk vaccine was given to
hundreds of thousands of children
in a large test last summer. A
scientific jury at the University
under the direction of Dr. Thomas
Francis Jr. of the medical school
is presently evaluating the test
results.

BONN, Germany {IM--The treaties to rearm West Germany cleared
their first hurdles on the road to ratification in Bonn and Paris yes-

But the attitudes of legislators in both countries showed many
more obstacles remain before West Germans get the right to raise
a 500,000-man force foi' the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
In Paris, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the French National
Assembly recommended ratification of the treaties to restore German
sovereignty, giving her the right to rearm and settle the troublesome

Iammarskjold
Takes Challenge
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.') --
The United Nations assembly by
the smashing vote of 45-5 yester-
day condemned fled China for
jailing 11 American airmen as
spies.
It appealed to Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold to do his ut-
most to obtain their release and
that of hundreds of other UN
personnel captured in the Korean
War and still detained by Peiping,
Hammarskjold immediately ac-
cepted the responsibility, saying,
"I will do all in my power to serve
the interests of the organization."
Greatest Challenge
He already had set in motion
the. machinery of his office but he
declined to indicate what steps
were being taken. It is known
that he regards this case as per-
haps the greatest challenge ever
to face the secretary general since
the UN began work in 1946.
Stubborn Soviet bloc resistance
to the resolution and its repeated
claims the airmen were. "spies"'
who got what they deserved indi-
cated the Red Chinese, as of the
present, will ignore the UN ac-
tion. An Indian attempt on a ten-
tative basis to see what could be
done has been firmly rebuffed by
Peiping.
Only the Soviet bloc members
voted against the condemnation,
which was contained in a resolu-
tion put up Monday by the Unit-
ed States and its 15 UN part-
ners in the.Korean War.
Six Abstain
Six countries -- Afghanistan,
Burma, India, Indonesia, Yemen
and Yugoslavia-abstained. Four
other members, Costa Rica, El
Salvador, Saudi Arabia and Syria
were absent but Syria had serv-
ed notice it was opposed to the
condemnation. The .others had
said nothing.
UN officials announced later
that Costa Rica and El Salvador
asked that they be recordeds
supporting the resolution, thus
bringing the vote to 47-5. The of-
ficials added that Syria, absent
during the balloting, asked that
she be included among the ab-
stainers.
Later, the Assembly's Special
Political Committee rejected Sovi-
et charges that the United
States was committing aggression
against Red China and had seiz-
ed the island of Formosa. The vote
was 5 in favor Soviet bloc and
39 against. This was the second
item affecting China being con-
sidered Friday by the UN.
. It was the second time the UN
Assembly has condemned Red
China, which has sought a seat in
the UN as a "peace-loving" coun-
try.
Panel Ponders
India's Future
After Ghandi*
"Land in India is under-utilized
rather than over-utilized," Indian
journalist Robindra Chakravart,
Grad., said last night in a panel
discussion of "After Ghandi,
What?"
India's Five Year Plan, a con-
tinuation of Mahatma Ghandi's
construction program, aims to in-
crease India's national income by
11 per cent, Chakravarty noted.
The second panelist, Bhoodan
worker Pat McMahon, pointed out
over 3,000,000 acres of land were
collected from landowners under
India's Five Year Plan. Of these,
72,000 were distributed to "land-
less" people to cultivate, Miss Mc-
Mahon said.

is After Receiving Letter
(EDITOR's NOTE' This is the third
in a series of articles on the Court
of Last Resort.)
By JIM DYGERT
Within a few weeks after Erle
Stanley Gardner returned from
Baja California he received a let-
ter from a part-time voluntary
chaplain at the Washington State
Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
In the letter, Bill Gilbert asked
for an appointment at Gardner's
California ranch to discuss the case
of Clarence Boggie, serving a life
sentence for murder. Boggie's pre-
very cooperative. "If Clarence Bog-
gie is innocent we want to find it
out just as much as you do," said
Smith.
Smith was entirely different from
the type of warden Grdner expect-
ed to find. In the course of his in-
vestigations for the Court of Last
Resort, Gardner has run into many
wardens and other officials who did
not welcome his intrusion. They
resented anyone's intimating their
machinery of justice had made a
mistake.
But not Smith, who was later to
life sentence for murder and hav-
ing a record of two previous con-
victions, maintained . stoutly that
he had never committed any crime
and subsequent findings indicated
his story might well have been
true.
But the immediate issue was
whether Boggie killed Moritz Pe-
terson as the Washington courts
had decided he did. Peterson had
been a 78-year-old recluse in Spo-
kane, Washington. He roomed at a
private boarding house but also
owned a little shack at the rear of

heavy-set, bushy-haired man who
ran with a peculiar "sideways
gait" emerge from the shack. They
chased him for two or three blocks
until he disappeared into a wooded
area.

of Peteison's shackand 'found him
