The Arabs are represented and Israel is not at the 29-nation Asian-African conference that opened here Monday. Red China's Premier Chou En-lai played his political cards skill- fully in the role he apparently has assumed of being everybody's friend at the conference.

This thesis was developed by a panel composed of Pat Roelofs, '55, Daily Associate City Editor; Steve Jelin, '55, former Student Legis- lature president; Mike Sharpe, Grad., president of the Labor Youth League, and Ned Simon, '55, also former president of SL. The panel discussed the rela- tion of political and academic freedom last night in conjunction with Academic Freedom Week ac- tivities. Group Agrees The group agreed that academic freedom was definitely related to political freedom, but the rela- tionship was that of a part to the whole. Miss Roelofs began the proceed- ings, maintaining that we "must be hospitable to an infinite var- iety of ideas. The responsibility of teachers is one of academic competence. Anyone who does not try to indoctrinate students with political bias should be allowed to teach." Jelin agreed, basically, but op- posed the methodology of the Communist movement in the po- litical realm. The Communists, he r contended would deny us the freedom for which they now clamor, if they were to gain con- trol. "Conspiritorial Communists will not accept the ground rules of freedom," he said. He added in the question period following the discussion however, that he couldn't oppose Com- munists gaining their ends through democratic means. Sharpe was the third speaker, and began immediately by attack- ing the histeria and red-baiting which has swept the country aft- er the introduction of McCarthy- ism. Book Cited He cited Harvey Matusow's re- cent book, "False Witness" as ex- tremely significant in the field of political freedom. Matusow was an informer in several trials of ac- cused subversives. He said there was a danger also from false interpretations of ideas and philosophies. There is pre- velent today a great deal of pre- determined opinion on some phil- osophies, especially the Marxian i dialetic. . Simon was the final speaker on the program, saying that Com- munism is a "subversive, conspiri- torial, revolutionary movement." He condemned the violent meth- ods of the Communists, and cited the 'coups' in Czechoslovakia, and China, and pointed to American Communist Howard Fast as one who "really makes a conservative r out of a person."

Foreign A id Project Hits Senate Snag Action Delayed By Rep. Richards WASHINGTON (;P) - President Dwight D. Eisenhower's new 3%l billion dollar foreign aid program, a "save Asia" project, ran into a legislative snarl yesterday a few hours after the message outlining it reached Congress. Chairman J. P. Richards (D- S.C.) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee announced that, con- trary to custom, he is planning to postpone final committee action on the authorization bill until the full Senate has voted on it. Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) chairman of the- Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he ex- pected the House to act first. Help Asian Countries Most of the money requested by the President is to help free Asian countries stand firm against Com- munism. Conditions in Europe are great- ly improved, President Eisenhow- er said in his message. He point- ed to the creation of defense forces that "now constitute a sig- nificant deterrent to aggression." "The immediate threats to world security and stability are now centered in Asia," he said. "The preponderance of funds re- quested of the Congress will be used to meet the threat there." Delay Action Rep. Richards told a news con- ference he planned to delay ac- tion on the program because he had heard from unnamed "influ- ential" senators there is "grave doubt that the Senate will vote for any economic aid this year." The President's program for the year beginning July 1 includes $1,717,500,000 for direct military and associated assistance and 812% million for other purposes, largely economic. Foreign Aid. Director Harold E. Stassen said last month that $2,140,500,000, or about two-thirds of the total, would be set aside for 15 Asian nations.

University President Harlan H. Hatcher could not be reached for comment. SGC President Hank Berliner, '56, said last night every indication points to University readiness to study the driving problem and full cooperation in studying the pres- ent situation. The committee recommended in the motion will include three stu- dents, (including one from SGC), two faculty members, two repre- sentatives of the University ad- ministration and representatives from the city.
