No Action on
Prof. Furry
Indictment
Harvard Awaits Ruling
On Contempt Charges
By MURRY FRYMER
Harvard University has declined
to take action against Prof. Wen-
dell H. Furry, physics instructor
Indicted for contempt of the Unit-
ed States. Senate.
Prof. Furry was indicted Dec. 17
when he refused to testify about
others to Sen. Joseph McCarthy's
(R-Wis.) one-man special investi-
gating sub-committee. However,
the Harvard physicist testified
fully about his own activities.
Earlier, Prof. Furry had twice
made use of the fifth amendment
in refusing to answer questions
about himself. At that time, Har-
vard said that although they "de-
plored" use of the amendment,
i they found it legal.
Prof. Furry, who was a member
of the Communist Party from
k 1938 to 1947, was cited on 10
counts, none of which was caused
by refusal to answer questions
about himself, but for refusing
to testify about other persons.
a Pusey Statement
After the indictment Harvard
President Nathan Pusey issued a
statement saying in part, "We
continue to favor full disclosure in
these matters but the legal conse-
quences of his refusal will pre-
sumably be determined by the
courts. So long as the case is
pending we do not think it ap-
propriate to make any further
statement on the subject."
President Pusey noted that Prof.
Furry has not been indicted for
refusing to answer questions about
his own connection with the Com-
munist Party. which he left a num-
ber of years ago.
Also indicted with Prof. Furry
by the McCarthy committee was
Leon Kamin, a research associate
in psychology at McGill Univer-
sity, Montreal, Canadad..
Knew About Past
McGill's President. F. Cyril
James, who also declined to take
action, said in an interview to the
Harvard Crimson, that he "knew
all about Kamin's past testimony,
but the Court-still has to make up
its mind.
According to the Crimson, how-
ever, informed sources at McGill
indicated that Kamin's contract
would probably not be renewed at
? the end of the year.
Kamin was charged on six
counts of contempt, also for re-
fusing to answer- questions about
other persons.
,A 1949 Harvard graduate, Kam-
in said, in a Crimson report, that
he "could not, in good conscience
involve other people in great suf-
fering. The people in question were
not guilty of any crime.
State Cigarette
ELaw Enforced
University students are feeling
the pinch of new attention be-
ing given the 40-ear-old state
law forbidding the sale of cig-
arettes to minors.
Police report many inquiries
* from students and the Student
Legislature over the refusal of
some Ann Arbor merchants to
sell cigarettes to students under
21, following distribution by the
police of the text of the law.
The measure was taken after

many parents complained that
t their young children were able to
smoke without their knowledge.
The campaign is similar to those
held in other parts of the state
and is aimed at children under 17
years old.
Police officers say they are "not
concerned with University stu-
dents."

'Martin XP6MI'
WASHINGTON WA) - The Navy
yesterday unveiled "the world's
first multijet seaplane," the Mar-
tin XP6M1 Seamaster.
The plane, powered by four jet
engines, is as big as a commercial
airliner and the first large sea-
plane capable of matching the
performance of large land-based
jet aircraft.

Mrs. Callahan Accepts New Post;
Steering Group To Guide Transition
Mrs. Ruth Callahan, administrative assistant in the Office of
Student Affairs, was yesterday named full-time administrative secre-
tary of Student Government Council.
The appointment, to take effect immediately, was made by
Student Affairs Vice-President James A. Lewis following a meeting
of student leaders held to discuss plans for implementing SGC.
Mrs. Callahan has been at the center of student activities since
1946 when she came to work with the coordinator of veterans' af-
fairs in the Office of Student Affairs under former Dean of Stu-
dents Joseph Bursley.
A University graduate, Mrs. Callahan has served as secretary
of the Student Affairs Committee since June, 1950. Her work on

'SL To Take

On Election
Student Legislature, still func-
tioning as University student gov-
ernment until SGC elections, will
hold its first meeting of the new
year at 7:30 p.m. today.
The meeting will be held in the
East Quadrangle dining room.
According to SL Vice-President
Ruth Rossner, '55, SL will hold
weekly meetings as usual until af-
ter the new student governing
body is elected next semester.
Contrary to earlier indications,
no motion will be introduced at
the meeting dealing with the con-

Miss Rossner said yesterday
that since the newly organized
steering committee will be dis-

taking any action tonight.
Committee appointmens for the
new SL will also be made at to-

Lewis Explains

Student Affairs Vice-President
James A. Lewis yesterday explain-
ed one aspect of the Regents' ac-
tion on the SGC plan involving fi-
nances of the new student govern-
ment.
He pointed out that while the
Regents had approved in principle
that part of the plan calling for
a student assessment to provide
revenue for SGC, they plan to
consider details of financing stu-
dent activities + one of their next
meetings.
The Vice-President indicated
there was no reason to believe the
Regents would not make specific
provisions regarding SGC finances
since without revenue the plan
could rhot operate.'
Barbour-Newberry
Intruder Flees
An intruder was discovered ran-
sacking a room by two residents of
Betsy Barbour yesterday.
With a "Pardon me," he hastily
excused himself to the women and
fled out the back door of the dor-
mitory. The man was seen min-
utes later in the basement of
neighboring Helen Newberry. He
apparently escaped from there by
the front door.
The intruder's description was
given to the police but he has not,
as yet, been apprehended.

SGC will include recording pro-
ceedings of.the Council and keep-
ing the official records of the new
student government.
Several student leaders describ-

University students taking mer-
chandise and called the-police.
At headquarters the man and
woman admitted the shoplifting
and later pleaded guilty to
charges of simple larceny be-
fore Municipal Court Judge
Francis L. O'Brien. They were
released on $25 bonds pending
sentencing next week.
In addition to goods for
which they had paid, the stu-
dents' loot totaled two bottles
of wine, two cans of frozen
orange juice and four small
steaks.
Data Giveni
ByCo liee
Presidents
LANSING () - Presidents of
Michigan's state-supported col-
leges rushed their efforts yester-
day to give Gov. G. Mennen Wil-
liams data for an expanded five-
year building program.
Gov. Williams said the Presi-
dents' Committee has estimated
150 million dollars will be needed
to accommodate an expected
32,000 increase in student enroll-
ments by 1960. State colleges now
enroll 47,000 out of 97,000 attend-
ing colleges in Michigan.
According to the presidents the
five-year expansion program
would provide $66,100,000 for the
University of Michigan, $44,900,000
for Michigan State College, five
million for Central Michigan Col-
lege, $8,600,000 for Western Mich-
igan College, $5,100,000 for Mich-
igan State Normal, $2,300,000 for
Northern Michigan College, $9,-
700,000 for the Michigan College
of Mines and $8,200,000 for Ferris
Institute.
The Governor said neither he
nor the Presidents' Committee
has settled on a method of financ-
ing such an immense building
program.
The presidents feel, Gov. Wil-
liams said, that "Any program
which will give them an assured
annual amount to expansion would
be a step in the right direction.
Now they can't project any of the
plans for the future."
The Governor conceded at his
press conference that such assur-
ance could only be given by a
bond issue or an earmarked tax,
but he said he felt that at least
the Legislature "could endorse" a
long-range program even though
it would not be bound to it.
The college expansion proposals,
Gov, Williams indicated, make it
increasingly difficult to promise
a balanced budget to the Legisla-
ture when it convenes Jan. 12.

Roundup
By The Associated Press
Scott McLeod ...
WASHINGTON - Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles for a
second time has reduced the
authority of his controversial se-
curity chief, R. W. Scott McLeod,
this time relieving him of inspec-
tion power over United States
missions abroad.
Department officials said this
move, effective last Friday, fol-
lowed a suggestion by. McLeod
trhee days earlier that it be
done. It also was in line with rec-
ommendations last spring by Dul-
les' Public Committee on Person-
nel.
Department officials emphasized
Dulles' action was not to be con-
strued as a blow aimed at McLeod.
He was relieved last spring of his
duties as personnel chief.

Harriman of New York yesterday
called "perfectly ridiculous" a re-

political boosters out of his of-
fice and had taken a verbal poke:
at Adlai Stevenson.
Joseph Rauh Jr., national vice-
chairman of ADA, the booster
from whom Harriman was said to
have "parted political company -in,
spectacular fashion," also said a,
newspaper story to that effect had
been "blown up out of all propor-

Ladejinsky is the land reform
specialist dropped by Secretary
Benson from his job as agricul-
tural attache at the United States

Leaders of 84th
WASHINGTON (.)--Democrats
anid Republicans set up their com-
mand organizations for the Sen-
ate and House yesterday, clearing
the way for the start of the 84th
Congress at noon today.
In a series of closed-door cau-
cuses, both parties picked the
leaders they were expected to and
the Senate Republicans agreed to
try to present a "united front"
on controversial issues, thus soft
peddling differences within their
party.
Democrats, ready to take con-
trol again after two years in the'
minority, promised there will be
no opposition just for the sake
of opposition to the policies of
the Republican administration.
Knowland Minority Leader
GOP Senators unanimously
chose Sen. William F. Knowland
(R-Cal.) as their floor leader. No
opposition developed in the wake
of Sen. Knowland's public differ-
ences with the administration on
foreign policy while majority
leader in the 83rd Congress.

son (D-Tex.), leader again for the

By DAVID KAPLAN
Henry H. Reichhold, former De-
troit music patron, has withdrawn
his offer of $50,000 for the Berlinf
Philharmonic's proposed trip to
the United States.
R e i c h h o ld 's announcement;
came shortly after the Berlin Or-
chestra announced that it had en-
gaged Herbert von Karajan to re-
-place conductor Wilhelm Furt-
waengler who died Nov. 30.
A University source said that
"Reichhold withdrew his money
because Furtwaengler's death de-I
stroyed Reichhold's hopes of see-
ing the German orchestra leader
conduct in this country."
The source noted that Reichholdf
felt that- no one could replace !
Furtwaengler and if the Berlin:
Philharmonic was without Furt-
wengler he no longer wanted to
support it.j

who is arranging the orchestra's
tour, said the city government of
West Berlin will now pay the $50,-

The Orchestra's first post-war
tour of the United State: and
Canada is scheduled from Feb. 23
to April 5, with an appearance.

STATE DEPARTMENT RULES:
'U' Forbidden Territory
For A ll Russian Citizens,
By LOU SAUER
The University, as a part of Washtenaw County, is now out ofE
bounds for Russian citizens.
Action taken Monday by the State Department puts 27 per
cent of United States land area on the "forbidden" list.
In a note to Georgi N. Zaroubin, Soviet ambassador in Wash-
ington, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles listed the approxi-
mately 900 counties restricted from Russian citizens.
Nineteen Michigan counties among which are Wayne, Jack-
son and Monroe, are included in addition to Washtenaw and the

Schalk, at that time director of
the Vienna State Opera. In later
years he conducted at opera hous-
es in Ulm and Aachen anct finally
an invitation came to conduct at
Berlin's Opera House.
Conducts in Festivals
After the Second World War he
appeared at many of Europe's ma-
jor music festivals, including
Salzburg, Bayreuth and Edun-,
burgh.
Born in Austria, he makes his
home in Switzerland andacenters
his musical activities in London,
where he is head of the Philhar-
Smonic Orchestra.
Last year von Karajan conduct-
ed at La Scala, toured Japan, re-
corded two operas in London and
took the London Philharmonic on
a 12-concert tour in two weeks
throughout Europe. -
Before his trip to the United
States with the Berlin Philhar-
monic, von Karajan will conduct
"Die Walkure" at La Scala.

that can bring success on his mis-
sion to Peiping.

er of the last house, Rep. Joseph
W. Martin, Jr., (R-Mass.) was un-
animously elected minority lead-
er.
John W. McCormack (D-Mass.)
was returned to his old spot as
House Democratic Leader. He lat-
er picked Rep. Carl Albert (D-Ok-
la.) to be assistant leader.
Democrats Hold House Margin
The Democrats hold a 231-203
margin over the Republicans in
the House.
GOP leaders who attended the
Senate caucus reported agreement
on a closed ranks approach to
controversial issues in the coming
session.
Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH),
who was named chairman of the
Policy Committee, said it was de-
cided to hold more get-togethers
of all Republican senators than
in the past.
Possible Friction
One possible source of friction
arose, however. Named to the GOP
"Committee on Committees,"
which makes recommendations for
Republican members of standing
committees, were both Sen. Joseph
R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) and newly
elected Sen. Clifford Case R-NJ).
Sen. Case said during the pre-
election campaign he would op-
pose any further service by Sen.
McCarthy on investigating com-
mittees. Sen. McCarthy has been
chairman of the Government Op-
erations Committee and its Per-
manent Investigating subcommit-
tee.
He has said he plans to continue
as the ranking Republican mem-
ber of both.
From the Democrats there came
one indication that they expect
the cooperation they have been
promising to work both ways.
Rep. Rayburn told the House
Democrats some things were said
and done by Republicans in the
1954 campaign which he could not
forgive or forget.

No Russian Citizens to Speak
"We have not planned for any
Russian citizens to speak here, or
visit the University for other rea-;

The State Department made no
effort to disguise the retaliatory
nature of its action, pointing out
that Americans and other foreign-
ers were barred from approxi-
mately 30 per cent of Russia's
land area.
Asked if he agreed with suspi-
cions that the areas had been
chosen "capriciously," Davis said

Fraternities Expand With 'U'

Membership in social fraterni-j

However Zerman claimed yes-

in total enrollment will propor-

new fraternitypledges.
Presently about 97 per cent of

Zerman asserted, adding that

"Only about three per cent of
social fraternities now have empty
beds," Zerman said. "These houses
have sophomore and junior pledges
living in dormitories who can't
break contracts and move out.
"Up to now there has been no
indication men can break Univer-
sity contracts and move from the
quadrangles for 'ie sole purpose of
helping fill a fraternity," he claim-
ed.
