Davis Prepares
For Court Fight
DismissedInstructor To Base Case
On Committee Jurisdiction Issue
By MURRY FRYMER
H. Chandler Davis, dismissed 'U' mathematics instructor, is getting
ready for a court hearing, expected in about a month.
' Dropped from the University faculty in August for refusing to
answer questions before a House Un-American Activities subcommittee,
Davis has been fighting a court indictment for contempt. The-young
mathematician has based his defense on what he calls the "subcom-
mittee's violation of the First Amendment."
Davis's attorney for the defense is New Yorker, Phillip Wittenberg,
who in May, 1953, raised the issue-of investigating committee jurisdic-
tion in an article in The Nation magazine.
Davis says he heard of Wittenberg mainly from the article and
hired him to defend his case partially on that basis.

Wittenberg, however, has chosen to seek dismissal of the case

Assistant Vice - President Her
bert G. Watkins has reported tha
the University may follow the ex
amble of the city and install park
ing meters to gain funds to pro
vide more parking space and als
to construct one or more parking
structures.
The possibility of charging fo
parking in University lots ha
been discussed with faculty group
and the Board of Regents, accord
Ing to Watkins, and there appear
to be general agreement that ac.
tion should be taken soon.
Few of those who try to par
in the 1,485 spaces on the mair
campus provided by the Univers-
ity will argue this last point. By 
a.m. each day, all University lot
are generally filled.
Some 3,000 persons were issued
University parking decals last
year. Added to this figure are
varying amounts of special per-
mits for visitors.
Most parking facilities outside
the University lot within close
range of the campus are limited
to one or two hours of parking.
The overflow from University
parking lots must often compete
with students holding driving per-
mits for the remaining spaces
that are not zoned for short-time
parking.
According to assistant to the
Dean of Men Karl D. Streiff, ap-
proximately 1500 exempt driving
permits have been issued, along
with 1600 special driving permits.
Lincoln's Fete
Commences
Defense Week
Today, the birthday of Abraham
* Lincoln, marks the beginning of
National Defense Week in the
United States.
The observance, sparked for the
31st year by the Reserve Officers
Association, will 'e based upon
the theme, "Only the Strong Can
Be Free," and will last until Feb.
22, the birth date of the nation's
first President, George Washing-
ton.
National Defense Week, as out-
lined by ROA, is an educational ef-
fort to reaffirm the obligation of
citizenship as relates to the privi-
lege of service.
Lt. Roy W. Adams, USAR, chair-
man of the observance committee
for Washtenaw County, said that
the recently announced plans of
rPresident Eisenhower to strength-
en the nation's reserve forces give
increased importance to the Week
this year. Public understanding as
to the need for creating a "real
equality of citizen participation"
in the responsibility for a strong
national defense is more important
than ever, he said.
Adams continued, "The only
way to prevent a holocaust which
? could wipe out our civilization is
to be so strong that none will dare
to attack us.,

Amendment. While he emphasized
that many uses of the power to'
refuse to testify are legitimate,
7 Welch said that serious investiga-
tions "ought not to be thwarted by
a contemptuous witness." The
Amendment originated in a desire
to avoid the use of torture, once
very common in obtaining =testi-
mony, he said.
Describing Army - McCarthy
hearings as "Swept by fears, hates
and high passions," Welch ex.
pressed the hope that it would be
the "last one of those frightening,
menacing hearings" and that
"sweeter, sunnier times" were
ahead.
The essence of what he learned
in Washington, the Iowa-born
lawyer said, is "when to duck so
as not to get hit by a flying mis-
sile"
Welch will visit today's Open-
ing Day celebration at local Re-
publican headquarters, 101 S.
Fourth, from 10 to 11 a.m. today.

Last night's contest was featured;
by two last period brawls. The fi-
nal one just before the buzzer
was a wild free-for-all between
Spartan defenseman Derio Nicoli
and Michigan's newcomer Mike
Buchanan, who made his league
debut in a big way.
The pair tore off their gloves and
for over a minuge slugged it out in
mid-ice, as the crowd went wild.
Both players were ejected from
the game, with Buchanan leaving
the ice in a battered condition.
MSC opened the see-saw contest
at 6:08 of the first period when
Nicoli took passes from high scor-
ing teammate center Jim Ward
and Weldon Olson and slapped the
puck by goalie Lorne Howgs.
The winners struck back a cou-
ple of minutes later. MacFarland
took a pass at mid-ice from wing
Karpinka, skating in from the left
side to score. Play jumped back
and forth again with Nicoll and
MacFarland exchanging q u i c k
scores. MacFarland's second tally
came on a fast pass from Rendall
after a face off in Spartan terri-
tory. State goalie Ed Schiller nev-
er saw the long screenshot.

powerful swimming machine
gained momentum yesterday, slip-
ping into high gear for the ap-
proaching Big Ten meet, as it
crushed the Spartans of Michigan
State by a lopsided 65-28 score.
Coach Gus Stager's natators,
minus the services of versatile
Bert Wardrop, took eight of 10
first places in the meet at Jenison
Gymnasium Pool in East Lansing.
Although Bert Wardrop was
kept from competing due to a vi-
rus infection, his brother, Jack,
took the measure of MSC's back-
strokers by winting the 200 yard
event in the good time of 2:12.1.
Probably the most encouraging
sign of the evening lay in the per-
formances of Wolverine junior
John O'Reilly, who won the 220
yard free-style and. took. second
to Ron Gora in the 100 free.
Wolverine captain Bumpy Jones
chalked up another win in the in-
dividual medley, and set a pool
and dual meet record in the pro-
cess. Jones covered the 150 yard
distance in 1:29.8 for the marks.
He was followed ba sophomore
Fritz Myers in the good time of
S:32.4. Lanny Johnson of MSC was
third.
The three-meter diving event
was dominated by Michigan's Jim
Walters, who won with a total of
286.65 points.
State's only first in the individ-
ual events came in the 200 yard
breast-stroke, as John Dudeck of
the Spartans went the distance in
2:29.7. Jim Thurlqw of Michigan

Ex-Red Tells
Of Perjury
In Affidavit
Roy Cohn Implicated
By Trial Evidence
NEW YORK ()--Harvey Matu-
sow testified yesterday he made
false statements in the 1952 polti-
cal campaign with encouragement
from Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
(R-Wis.).
Matusow, self-described profes-
sional ex-Communist and forme
informer for the FBI testified at
a federal court hearing on a motion
by 12 convicted Communists for a
new trial.
Their action is based on an affi-
davit by Matusow that he gave
false evidence against them, with.
the knowledge of Roy M. Cohn,
then an assistant United States at-
torney, at their trial on. conspiracy
charges.
Sent Affidavit
Matusow first testified yesterday
he had sent affidavits to the New
York Times and to Time magazine
saying he had lied in saying they
had Communists on their staffs.
He said his original statements
were based on "conjecture and,
surmise." Then he added that he
had made similar false statements
in the 1952 political campaign.
"My manner of presentation and
my theme was encouraged by Sen.
McCarthy and, in fact, was at the
behest of Sen. McCarthy and
made during the heat of a politi-
cal campaign," Matusow said.
Matusow said he once met Meth-
odist Bishop G. Gromley Oxnam
in Washington and told him:
"I want to apologize for a speech
I made against you Oct. 5, 1952,
in a Methodist church in Liberty-
ville, Il."
Matusow said he had accused
the bishop in the speech of "sup-
porting Communist fronts."
Earlier an excerpt read from
Matusow's diary, dated Jan. 1,
1948, - said he had decided . the
Communist party was "a reaction-
ary outfit" and that he should
break with it.
Sacher Reads Excerpt
Harry Sacher, counsel for the 12
Communists, read- the excerpt, ap-
parently to show Matusow had be-
come critical of the Communists
prior to testifying against them.'
Sacher quoted the New Year's
Day entry as follows:
"After tonight's party I decided
to give up the AYD (American
Youth for Democracy) and the
rest of the progressive organiza-
tions, including the Communist
party, which, after much looking
into, I think is a reactionary out-
fit that is, as the House of Rep-
resentatives says, un-American.
"The people of the Communist
party have one-track minds and
they are too narrow-minded. They
are not the type I feel I should
associate with."

Baker, chief engineer of the MTA.
The Legislature loaned the Au-

Most of this money has been spent

The rate of interest to bonders

Baker noted, because the state

can assume they will be paid off,"
he reasoned. Those super high-
