By MURRY FRYMER
Dismissed mathematics instruc
tor, H. Chandler Davis has bee
awarded a $2,000 grant from th:
Bill of Rights Fund to aid in th
legal defense of his case now pend
ing in court.
It was diso disclosed last nig-
tha'; a literary college Emergenc
Fund Committee for Davis has col
lected $2,000 in donations from thi
College faculty.
Prof. Raoul Bott, of the mathe
matics department, chairman c
the committee, said yesterday tha
Davis has already received abou
$1,000 from the Fund. Future de
nations, Prof. Bott hoped, woul
bring the total collections of th
committee to over $3,000.
Grant For Legal Defense
The Bill of Rights Fund, a Nev
York organization headed by Dr
Corliss Lamont ,announced yester
day that the grant to Davis for hi
legal defense was given because h
"relied on the First Amendment i
refusing to answer improper ques
tions asked him by the House Un
American Activities Subcommit
a tee.:
The grant is part of a total dis
tribution of $10,750 which th
Fund has given to aid legal de
fense of 15 civil liberties cases nov
pending in courts. The $2,000 giv
en to Davis was the largest singl
grant given by the Fund.
Solicited Through Letters
The literary college fund was so
licited through letters sent by th
Bott committee to the college fac
ulty early in December. Othe
committee members are Professor
Irving M. Copi, of the philosoph:
department, Paul V. C. Hough o
the physics department and Han
Samelson of the mathematics de-
partment.
Regents' Responsibility
Davis when first learning of the
College fund said that he was
gratified, but "the responsibility
for my unemployment is the Re-
gents', not my colleagues."
According to Prof. Bott, the
money collected will be given tc
Davis in form of a "gift ... witt
no strings attached."
He said that many persons were
donating "for various reasons,,
and that 100 Faculty members hac
signed sponsorship of the fund. A
second letter has been sent to the
faculty by the committee to in-
crease the fund total.
Any contributions, Prof. Bott
said, may be sent to the Emergen-
cy Fund Committee for H. C. Da-
vis, 3006 Angell Hall.
'Weitzmann
Talks on Book
Illustrations
" Prof. K u r t Weitzmann of
Princeton's Institute for Advanced
Study spoke yesterday on the con-
nection between literature and art
that was established early in
Greek history.
Lecturing on classical book illus-
tration, Prof. Weitzmann first dis-
cussed the illumination of Homeric
texts. He then traced art work in
connection with dramatic texts,
particularly the plays of Euripi-
des.
The popularity of Euripides in
the Hellenistic world became much
greater than that of Aeschylus and

Sophocles because of Euripides'
keen attention to human nature,
said Prof. Weitzmann.
A -gauge to the popularity of the
literature of the time comes from
the evidence of illustration.
The reconstruction of the early
history of book illustration is a
t problem for the archeologist as
well as for the art historian. Papy-
rus scrolls are highly perishable
and few have survived to the pres-
ent.

'Operation Rescue' Letter Admits
Theft of Trophy from University
By DAVE BAAD
The Paul Bunyan figure, standing astride the huge trophy won by
Michigan's football team when it beat Michigan State last fall, has
been returned to East Lansing.
In a letter to the Michigan State News yesterday an anonymous
group calling themselves "Operation Rescue," admitted transferring
the trophy from a "dusty corner of the U of M locker room" to the
Spartan campus.

The assignments were an-
nounced by Democratic lead-
er Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of
Texas after a meeting with the
party's Steering Committee.
Sen. McNamara was appoint-
ed to committees on labor, gov-
erning of the District of Colum-

yesterday that neither Yost Field

office had a lobby big enough to
house the statue.
Governor G. Mennen Williams

schools in 1953 to be awarded an-

Starting slowly, picking up mo-
mentum near the end of the first
half, and operating at full steam
after the intermission, the Michi-
gan basketball team trounced a
beleagured Wisconsin five, 90-63,
last night.
A large weekday crowd of 4.500
at Yost Field House saw the Wol-
vermnes win their second Big Ten
game in three attempts. The vic-
tory, coupled with Illinois' 83-73
triumph over Purdue, enabled the
Maize and Blue to move into a
four-way tie for first place in the
wild Western Conference race.
It was a team victory for the
Bill Perigo-coached squad. Five
men scored in double figures for
Michigan. Don Eaddy, spunky
5'10" guard led the attack with 19
points. He notched nine field goals
in 21 atterppts for an excellent .43
percentage.

Wiring Called

Faulty wiring was blamed yes-'

According to the police detec-

his better shooting nights as he
whipped in six goals from the field
in 17 tries. The scoring splurge en-
abled him to maintain his leader-
ship of the Michigan attack with
152 points in 10 games.
Wisconsin held on tenaciously
for most of the first half. During
the first 20 minutes of play the
score was tied 12 times and the
lead changed hands on seven oc-
casions. The Wolverines, however,

Swimmers down Iowa

Two pool records and an NCAA dual meet record fell yesterday
as the Michigan swimming team opened the season by trampling a
tough Iowa State squad, 60-24 in the Varsity Pool.
Wolverine captain Bumpy Jones set a pool record in the 150
yard individual medley, lowering the old mark by eight-tenths of a
second as he covered the distance in 1:28.7. His time also bettered the

Stresses Security,
U.S. Leadership
WASHINGTON P) - President
Dwight . Eisenhower asked Con-
gress again yesterday for power to
lower tariffs 15 per cent as part
of a program to improve foreign
trade, to bulwark "the forces of
freedom" in their struggle against
Communism.
"It is essentially for the security
of the United States and the rest
of the free world," President E-
senhower said in a spec'ial mes-
sage, "that the United States take
the leadership in promoting- the
achievement of those high levels
of trade that will bring to all the
economic strength upon which the
freedom and security of all de-
pends."
As the President himself noted,
the "moderate, gradual reciprocal
program" he proposed was largely
a repetition of the one that got
nowhere in the last Congress,
"No Sudden Action"
The heart of it is a renewed re-
quest to continue the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Law for three
years, with additional authority
for Eisenhower to cut tariffs by 5
per cent each year. He promised
there would be "no sudden or radi-
cal tariff reductions."
With Democrats in control of
Congress -now, the program may
get friendlier treatment than it
did last year. It w.as the Deo-
crats who launched the reciprocal
trade treaty program in th first
place. And Democratic leaders in
the new Congress have set a high
priority for extending it on the
basis President Eisenhower is rec-
ommending.
Top Priority Asked
House- Speaker Sam Rayburn
(D-Tex.) said he would ask the
Ways and Means Committee to
give top priority to the legisla-
tion. Rep. Joseph Martin, Jr. (R-
Mass.), the House minority leader,
said he was sure Congress would
cooperate with the President to
put the program through.
High trade levels, the President
told the lawmakers yesterday, can
be promoted not only by lowering
tariffs on a give and take basis
with other countries, but also by
increasing the flow of capital
among free nations, by restoring
currency convertibility, by expand-
ing the trading of technical infor-
mation and by inceasing interna-
tional travel.
Foreign Relations
Post Given Morse
WASHINGTON () -- S e n.
Wayne Morse, the Oregon inde-
pendent who lost his two big com-
mittee posts two years ago after
he broke with the Republicans, got
a prized new assignment yester-
day.
He'll serve on Foreign Relations.
Democrats filling the majority
sides of all the Senate committees
also ditched the cherished senior-
ity rule enough to give covetedas-
signments to two veterans newly
returned as freshmen-Sens. Al
ben W. Barkley of Kentucky and
Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming.
Sen. Barkley was assigned to
Foreign Relations and also to the
Finance Committee; Sen. O'Maho-
ney to the Judiciary and Interior
committees.

Hart Speech Highlights
Democratic Party Day

____

"I am a Democrat because his-
tory justifies the claim that in the
long haul, the nation is a little
better, when under Democratic
leadership than before," Lieuten-
ant-Governor Philip A. Hart said
in a Democratic Party Day ad-
dress yesterday.
Speaking to an audience of
about 200 students and faculty
members, Hart said, "There seems
to be an overemphasis on the
Washington picture."
He referred to public attitudes
toward politics. "We lose perspec-
tive, missing the importance of lo-
cal and state level politics," he
added.
Hart's speech culminated the

began in the morning with a panel

Dr. Landauer said if Dr. Fran-

cine is successful, "It will mean
for the first time we have an ef-
fective agent to combat epidemics
and possibly a tool to control polio
as completely as smallpox vaccine
controls smallpox."
"This doesn't necessarily mean,"
Dr. Landauer continued, "that
Salk vaccine will be either the
ultimate cure or 100 per cent ef-
fective."
Refinement
Dr. Landauer pointed out his-
tory shows that first attempts are
always susceptible to refinement.
Research is still going on and
several improvements have already
been made in Salk vaccine used
in field trials, the doctor said.
Medically, no vaccine has ever

Inquiry Report to Ask Dorm Change

By JOEL BERGER
"A good number of recommen-
dations for changes in the dormi-
tory system will probably be made'
in the Operation Inquiry report,"'
committee member Roger Kidston,
'56L, said yesterday.
According to Kidston, no dissat-
isfaction in general was found by
Inquiry members with the present
Michigan House Plan,
Inter-House Council President
Stan Levy, '55, said yesterday pre-
liminary reports from Operation
Inquiry, now being compiled by
Kidston, will be submitted fot fi-
nal committee approval early next
semester. The final report will go
to IHC for approval, Levy said.

Comparison will show the mer-
its of a large vertical unit such as
South Quad and large horizontal
units such as East and West Quad-
rangles.
Certain houses within the three
quadrangles will be compared on
the basis of details in structure,
length of corridors and other mat-
ters, he said.
Student Government
Under the general area of stu-
dent government within the resi-
dence halls, the Operation Inquiry
report will delve into the areas of
student government growth in the
past. Quad government will be
traced from the house groups

of house government are probed.
Purposes and functions of house

Relationships of student govern-
ment and the academic staff, stu-
dent government and the business
staff, the Board of Governors and
the residence halls and Quad-
rangle honorarids and the resi-
dence halls will be reported in the
