Dems Attack
Nixon Again
For Tactics
Hall Challenged
By Paul Butler
WASHINGTON (P)-Democrats
last night resumed their attack
on Vice-President Richard Nixon
for his 1954 campaign tactics even
as President Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er was defending his 1952 running
mate by saying Vice-President
Nixon had never condemned the
Democratic party as a whole.
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler invited GOP Chair-
man Leonard Hall to inspect what
Butler called a "chamber of
 smears" showing how Vice-Presi-.
dent Nixon and other Republican
speakers "maligned and slander-
ed the Democratic party and its
candidates during the 1954 cam-
paign."
Makes Public Letter
H Butler made public a letter to
Hall saying the exhibit, together
with "smear recordings put out
by the Republican Campaign
Committee," would be available
for his inspection at 11 a.m. to-
morrow at Democratic headquar-
ters, or at some later time if that
was not convenient.
Hall replied in a statement re-
leased to the press that he will
be glad to exchange letters or vis-
it with Butler whenever he is en-
gaged in "more constructive" mat-
ters than an "untruthful campaign
of personal abuse and vilification"
against the vice-president.
Earlier in the day the President,
i4 response to news conference
questions, said he admires Nixon,
was loathe to believe he was guilty
of any indiscretion, and suggested
his critics probably were taking
words out of context in hitting at
Vice-President Nixon.
Assurances
He said he had assurances from
Vice-President Nixon that he had
not attacked the Democratic par-
ty as a party of treason nor had he
made any sweeping condemnation
of the party, but was talking in the
campaign about certain individu-
al cases and the way they were
handled administratively. Good,
1 judgment rather than loyalty of
these people was questioned, the
President said Vice-President Nix-
on explained.
Hall came to the Veep's defense
in a statement Monday saying
Vice-President Nixon was under
fire from the Democrats "because
he tells the truth and is effective."

Stassen Responsible if Judgment7
Proves Wrong in Hiring Ladejinsky
WASHINGTON (P)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower upheld yes-
terday the right of officials to reach conflicting decisions in the
Wolf Ladejinsky case-a case in which he-said he himself has formed
no judgment.
President Eisenhower also told a news conference that without
inquiring into all the circumstances or studying the other side of the
question, he once remarked to Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Ben-
son that a summary of the caese would scare him-the President.
Yet he said he would uphold the right of Harold E. Stassen,

Other election responsibilities

Council, Interfraternity Council,
Panhellenic and Assembly (per-

Hank Berliner, '56, chairman of
the Culture and Education com-
mittee, announced last night in-
sertion of a new question in the
residence halls questionnaire sent
out to all incoming residents of the
dormitories.
Primarily through the work of
Ben Uchitelle, '55, questionnaires
will include, "Are you interested
in a roommate of a nationality or

to hire Ladejinsky after Secr'etary
+Benson turned him down as a se-
curity risk. Secretary Stassen, he
said, will be held responsible if
his judgment turns out to be
wrong.
Ladejinsky is a 55-year-old Rus-
sian who became a naturalized
American. He was cleared for se-
curity by the State Department
and served as United States agri-
cultural attache in Tokyo. When
agricultural attaches were shifted
to the Department of Agriculture,
Secretary Benson ousted Ladejin-
sky on security and technical
grounds.'
In the midst of a lively row over
the case that reached into Con-
gress, Stassen took on Ladejinsky
for a land reform assignment in
Viet Nam.
'Different Answers'
The chief executive said this was
a case in which honest men came
up with different answers.
In response to half an hour of
questioning, the President also said
that:
It was bosh--his eyes snapped
but he joined in the laughter-to
interpret his approval for a be-
lated Republican National Con-
vention next year as giving the im-
pression he will be a candidate for
another term.
Admires Veep
He admires Vice-President Nix-'
on, whose 1954 campaign tactics
are under Democratic attack, and
said he believes in his loyalty and
patriotism. He said he realized
that words used in the heat of a
campaign, particularly if taken out
of context, possibly can be made
the target of legitimate criticism.
But he said the Vice-President
had assured him time and again
that he never condemned the en-
tire Democratic party, although
he had talked about individual
loyalty cases and questioned the
judgment of Democrats in han-
dling them.
Bunyan Statuet
Still Missing
Another day has passed and
Paul Bunyan is still missing.
Rumors continued circulating
yesterday that a group of Uni-
versity students took the football
trophy, found missing Monday by
athletic equipment manager Hen-
ry Hatch.
Ann Arbor police are looking for
the trophy but said yesterday any
charges pressed against the thieves
would be made by the University.
University officials indicated
little if any disciplinary action
would be taken if any students in-
volved return the trophy unharm-
ed.

TWA Crash
Takes Local
Flier's Life
Planes Collide
Near Cincinnati
By The Associated Press
Robert K. Childress of Ann Ar-
bor was one of 15 persons killed
in a flaming two-plane crash
near Burlington, Ky. yesterday.
Childress, first officer of a TWA
airliner, lived with his wife and
six-month-old son at 824 Arch.
Stewardess Killed
Four other Michigan residents
were killed in the crash, includ-
ing the stewardess, Patricia Ann
Atermer, 21 years old, of Ypsi-
lanti.
Miss Atermer, daughter of a
cashier of the Los Angeles Herald-
Express, had completed stewardess
training in Kansas City, Kan., just
before Christmas and began her
flying career in Detroit a few
days ago.
Therewere no survivors to ex-
plain the accident. '
The TWA plane had left the
Greater Cincinnati Airport only
minutes before crashing, bound
for Dayton and Cleveland. It car-
ried 10 persons and a crew of
three.
Flew From Battle Creek
The other plane, a DC3, with
two aboard, was being flown from
Battle Creek, and was to have
picked up Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
L. Van Lennep in Lexington, Ky.,
wealthy Detroit race horse owners.
Mrs. Van Lennep is the former
Frances Dodge.
Just what happened no one
seemed to know.
Tower control officials said they
had no word that the DC3 was in
the area.
C. Woodrow McKay, chief con-
troller at the tower, said he saw
the transport plane head south-
west for about two minutes, make
a right turn and then disappear.
Seconds later he saw a flash and
them smoke.
Charles Rising, Cincinnati sup-
ervising agent for the CAA, said
he knew of no reason for the DC3
to be flying in the area. Another
CAA official, who declined use of
his name, said marks of the
wreckage made it appear that the
planes were approaching each
other as at the apex of a triangle
and that it was their wings which
apparently hit first.
The TWA plane crashed into the
side of a gully approximately a
half mile from the nearest road.
It bounced back and wreckage was
strewn for 150 yards.
The DC3 appeared to have hit
nose first about a half mile away.
There were few actual eye wit-
nesses.

UN Hopeful
For Return
Of Prisoners
HONOLULU (A')-Dag Hammar-
skjold flew into Honolulu yester-
day on his homeward trip from
Peiping as signs mounted that his
mission to free prisoners held in
Communist China was not in vain.
While the United Nations sec-
retary general remained silent, a
personal aide, Per Lind, told re-
porterssin Tokyo that the families
of 11 United States fliers jailed as
"spies" must "have a little more
patience."
Doesn't Comment
And in London, the British For-
eign Office endorsed a UN spokes-
man's statement that Hammar-
s1kjold had not failed in his talks
with Premier Chou En,lai of Red
China.
In response to reporters ques-
tions in Honolulu, Hammarskjold
said that this was "not the time
or place" to comment on his mis-
sion for a "fairly obvious".reason.
That reason is that he will make
no statement until his report to
the General Assembly, which sent
him to Peiping. possibly later this
week. Hammarskjold told report-
ers, however, he had not yet set
any definite time for making the
report.
Bound for Travis
The big Constellation carrying
Hammarskjold's party will leave
Honolulu at 7 p.m.-10 p.m. EST-
bound for Travis Air Force Base,
near San Francisco. Major Elmer
E. Dunn, Portland, Me.; pilot, said
Hammarskjold may not even get
off the plane at Travis during the
short stop there.
Hammarskjold declined all com-
ment to reporters on his one-hour
stopover in Tokyo, just as he did
when he left Hong Kong Ti4es-
day.
Hammarskjold is due in New
York today.
J-Hop Booths ...
All J-Hop booth contracts and
rules are due Feb. 4, or the booth
will be cancelled, according to Pat

'Not Scared
By Bullets'
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (P)-Cos-
ta Rica's spreading warfare cra-
ckled at half a dozen points over
the country yesterday.
Mystery planes attacked four
towns, including this capital where
President Jose Figueres declared:
"We don't scare with the splatter-
ings of bullets."
Addressing the people in a na-
tionwide broadcast, President Fi-
gueres charged Gen. Anastasio

BULLE TIN
WASHINGTON (P) - The
United States announced last
night it will "make aircraft im-
mediately available to carry out
Pacific observation flights" over
Costa Rica, as requested by the
Organization of American
States.
The State Department an-
nounced that the United States
planes would be sent immediate-
ly but did not specify how many.
President, had "decided to unleash
the men he had in his estate and
is now throwing them into Costa
Rica through various points."
Moving on Highway
A rebel band was reported au-
thoritatively to be moving' down
the Inter-American Hi g h w a y
from La Cruz, only 10 miles from
Nicaragua.
A lone fighter, described by the
Civil Guard as "Venezuelan plane
which dame from Nicaragua," car-
ried the fight to this capital city
with blasts of .50 caliber machine
gun bullets not 'far from Figueres'
residence."
Fleeing to the north, the plane
was later reported shot down. Ob-
servers here said the plane was an
old P47 type of World War II vin-
tage. No casualties were reported
here, but there was some damage
-to buildings.
After the attack the President
suspended civil rights in order to
cope with the emergency. Airlines
canceled flights out of San Jose,
and planes bound for the capital
were diverted elsewhere.
Liberia Raided
A government communique said
planes also raided Liberia, in
northwestern Costa Rica, and Car-
tago and Turrialba in the central
part of the country south of San
Jose.
Government t r o o p s attacked
rebel forces who Tuesday seized
the Villa Quesada area on an im-
portant highway about 40 miles
northwest of the capital. A com-
munique said two rebels were kill-
ed and two soldiers were wounded
in the fighting.
Figueres said the Villa Quesada
fighting was in the mopup stage.
Figueres, in his broadcast, told
the people that "for the third
time in the nation's history, the
national territory has been attack-
ed from Nicaragua." He referred
to other attacks in 1948 and 1949.
A DDITION:
Leopold Tells
Union Needs
A future need for more rooms
was given yesterday by Union

president Tom Leopold; '55 as the
reason for seeking added floors to
the new Union addition.
He noted that added quarters
for meetings and conferences will
be warranted in a few years. The
Union Board, which has already
approved addition plans, will at-
tempt to have the proposal sub-
mitted to the Board of Regents at
its January meeting.

Doubts Recent
Saety Rumors
No official word was received as
yet by Jane Edmonds Reynol :
about her navy flier husband, Lt.
Robert D. Reynolds, j.g., missing
for five years and reportedly alive
following the release of an Ameri-
can from a Russian slave labor
camp.
John D. Noble. of Detroit in a
press conference after his re-
lease, stated that he had heard at
one time that there were some pi-
lots who came down in the Baltic
Sea being held in other camps.
Wife Hesitant
In recent years, only one Baltic
plane crash was reported and Lt.
Reynolds was aboard that plane.
He was declared legally dead near-
ly four years ago.
Mrs. Reynolds said last night
that she is somewhat inclined to
disregard implications drawn from
Noble's remarks because he said
that "two did not survive. He had
said that eight of ten crewmen
were rescued.
"My opinion is that the two
who did not survive were the pilot
and co-pilot-my husband."
Question of Time
Mrs. Reynolds continued that
"Noble didn't say when he had the
information, a few weeks ago or
a few months or years. They may
not be alive now."
She added that her husband was
' from New fork and Noble had
talked about two Michigan men,
and "it only makes me doubt
more"n
"Until things are more definite,"
rs. Reynolds concluded, "I don't
want to get my hopes up too high.
It took too long to adjust to this.

WASHINGTON CONFIRMS:
Field, Wife Request Asylum
Inside Communist Hungary
WASHINGTON (A)-The State Department said yesterday it has
received confirmation from Noel Field that he and his wife, Herta,
have requested asylum in.Communist Hungary.
Press officer Henry Suydam said United States Minister Chris-
tian M. Ravndal at Budapest had received a hand written letter "pur-
porting to be from Noel Field."
In the letter, Suydam said, Field confirmed Hungarian press-rad io
reports "that he and his wife had been granted asylum at their request.
The Fields were released last Nov.

jail on charges of being American
spies.
Suydam said that United States
officialsare still in the dark as to
the Fields' 'whereabouts.
Asked why the department used
the "purporting" language, Suy-
dam said he was "just being super-
cautious."
Field, now 50, has been accused
in the United States as a Commu-
nist agent and in Europe as an
American spy.
Working for League
He worked for the State Depart-
ment on West European affairs
from 1926 to 1936 and then went
to work for the League of Nations1
in Geneva.
In 1949, after having disappear-
ed from public view, he was nam-

7. He said it was in response to
one from Ravndal of last Dec.
31 asking when and where an in-
terview might be arranged.
"It response Mr. Field stated his

CIO, AFL Plan To Unite This Year

By DIANE LA BAKAS -
Plans are being made to unite

ation of Labor by the end of this
year.
The merger is desired because of

However, Reuther said that
there is no "magic formula" that
would assure an o\ ernight resolu-
tion of probblems that have exist-
ed since 1933.
Planning Needed

"However," he added, "the diffi-

ting the local and national unions
to give up individual rights to this
large union."
