Under a recommendation of the Campus Affairs Committee, it was provided that this permission be granted for a trial period from June 1955 through April 1956. At this time the matter would be again referred to the Campus Defends Welfare Secretary Thunderjets Fly Nonstop To Australia' Records Set in Tokyo To Newcastle Flight NEWCASTLE, Australia (P) --. Four U.S. Air Force F84 Thunder- jets, fighter-bombers which can carry the A-bomb, completed aI record, nonstop flight of 4,840 miles from Tokyo yesterday. The sleek, single-engined ma-t chines, refueled three times in the air, spanned the sea, the equatorr and two seasons in 12 hours, 2E minutes. , It was a midsring day whena they took off from Tokyo's Yokutas Air Base Tuesday; a chill, gusty fall day when they landed at this city on Australia's east coast. a Though the flight covered 210 more miles than similar craft evero had done nonstop before, the pilotsa estimated they could have gone on six hours more-at least 2,000 u miles-if necessary.t Col. Harold M. McClelland ofg Avon Park, Fla., was the leader.- His command had been depletedo en route by two planes. One of the six original starters developed fueln trouble that caused it to crash inn Japan, the pilot parachuting. An-c other dropped out at Guam be-t cause of radio trouble. Add New Record The four other pilots chalked up a record Tokyo-Australia nonstop flight as well as the new nonstopC mark for single-engine jets. The flight, Operation Handclasp,r was planned to show the strength of defense links between Australia> and U.S. bases in the Far East.1 The United States and Australian are allies in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization.J The former record was set Aug. 20, 1953, when Brig. Gen. ThayerE Olds led a 4,360-mile flight of 20y F84s from Turner Air Force Base' in Georgia to England. On the E same day, eight other Thunderjets flew 4,450 miles from Turner to t French Morocco. t Hopwoods To Be Given Prof. Archibald MacLeish, of t Harvard University, will deliver the main address at the annual t Hopwood Award presentation to- c day at 4:15 p.m. in Rackham Lec- s ture Hall.- Awards, both major and minor c will be presented by Prof. Arno Bader of the English department, chairman of the Hopwood Com- mittee. MacLeish, recipient of two Pul- d itzer Prizes, will discuss modern S poetry in a lecture entitled, "Why m Can't They Say What They Mean?" o The Hopwood Awards are pre- sented each year from funds left A in the will of Avery Hopwood. t They are given to outstanding stu- dent contributors in the field of J the short story, essay, poetry and D drama. t Affairs Committee to determine whether Cinema Guild profits have been affected. SGC's action follows a reversal of former policy that Cinema Guild would be the only student organization authorized to present a regular program of movies for an admission fee. William Wiegand, Grad., presi- dent of the Gothic Film Society explainedto the councilnthat the society was a non-profit group run on a membership basis. The policy of admitting guests free of charge not only had cut down on membership, but had re- sulted on an infringement of membership rights because of space limit. Joel Tauber, '57, chairman of the Campus Affairs Committee said that the committee felt Goth- ic Films would not detract from Cinema Guild because the show- ings are on different nights and a different type of film is pre- sented. Duplication Unlikely Wiegand said that Gothic Films are shown for their "artistic ap- preciation," hence a duplication of films between Cinema Guild and Gothic Films is unlikely. Tauber also added that individ- ual students should be allowed to take advantage of the specific showings. The present set-up would hinder the further operation of the society. The council passed the recom- mendation with qualification that museum showings would not be in- cluded in this plan as it is against the stipulations under which this type of presentation is offered. Joint Judic Member Five members were officially ap- proved by SGC for Joint Judiciary Council. Roger Anderson, '56, Mer- ritt Green, '56L, Andrea Snyder, 57, Ralph Goldberg, '56, and MarthabWallbillich, '56 were se- lected by an interviewing com- mittee from fifty students who pe- titioned for the one-year term on Joint Judie. Appointed to the University Housing Study Committee for one- year terms were Al Williams, '57, Tawfig Khoury, '55E, and Turner Karamizrak, '55E. Eleven students petitioned for the positions on the committee which has just been set up by SGC o study student housing and en- vironmental health at the Uni- versity. Hazel Frank, '56, Richard Good, 56 A, and Deborah Townsend, '56 were approved as the central board1 of SGC for summer operation of he council. Tom Sawyer, '58, reported that he Books for Asia Drive was suc- essful and that over four thou- and books have been sent to San Francisco for shipment to Asian ountries. ROTC Parade Army, Air Force and Navy ca- lets and bands will joini forces aturday in a parade to com- nemorate Armed Forces Day. The parade will start at 10:30 n Thayer Street.- Earlier in the morning the t rmy ROTC will present awardsI o outstanding cadets. Brigadier General Briard P. . ohnson, Colonel V. R. Miller and Sean Walter B. Rea are amonga hose who will present the awards. No Appeasement At Big 4'Meeting Backs Mrs. Hobby in Vaccine f Stand at Weekly Press Conference WASHINGTON ()-President Eisenhower rejected yesterday any idea that America may have lost control of the air to Russia. It is "just not true," Eisenhower said, to say that "we have lost in a twinkling all of this great technical development and technical knowledge as well as the numbers in our total aircraft." Defends Mrs. Hobby The president spoke up at a news conference at which he also: Defended Secretary of Welfare Hobby's handling of the polio vaccine problem-he said it would be a waste of time to commentq j~on a demand by Sen. Wayne OVETA CULP HOBBY ... controversy flares Wilson Picks Committee To Study Brainwashing WASHINGTON (/P)-Secretary of Defense Wilson, yesterday named a 10-man committee to devise ways of teaching members of the armed forces how to stand up under torture and conduct themselves as pris- oners of war. What is needed, Wilson said, is a "simple, easily understood code" for Americans who serve their country in battle. Obviously, he had in mind the confusion that has arisen because each service dealt in a dif- Morse moved (D-Ore.) that she be re- for incompetency.a Coeds To Get Inoculations Contraction of infectious hepa- titis by a cafeteria food handler will mean mass inoculations today for women in Stockwell Hall. Dr. Margaret Bell of Health Service said yesterday Health Service became aware of the sit- uation this week and immediately made plans for inoculating the women against the disease. Injections of gamma globulin will be administered starting today and women will be asked to have a second inoculation in five weeks from their home physicians. First injections will be given in the basement of Health Service. Women in Stockwell were notified of the food handler'scontraction of the disease last night and a list of inoculation times was an- nounced to the women. The danger period for people exposed to the disease is from 15 to 35 days. Board To Elect Election of officers for the 1956 Senior Board will take place today at 5 p.m. at the League. ferent way with men who suc- cumbed to Communist "brainwash- ing" in the Korean conflict. Civilian and Military The committee will consist of five civilian officials in the Penta- gon and five retired admirals and generals. Wilson asked them to recom- mend ways for training military personnel to defend themselves against brainwashing, other phys- ical and mental torture and prop- aganda if they fall into enemy hands. Appointment of the group re- flects concern over the number of Americans who broke under Com- munist activity in Korea and for the smaller number who were in-, fected by Communist teaching in prison camps, officials said. , Burgess Picked Wilson appointed Asst. Defense' Secretary Carter L. Burgess to head the new committee. Gen. John E. Hull, who recently retired after serving as U.S. and UN commander in chief of the Far East is vice chairman. - The services employed different, methods in dealing with men who survived the rigors of Communist captivity in the Far East but against whom suspicion existed. Wilson gave the committee twos months to study methods an ene- my has or might use against pris- oners. Then it will report. Declared with table-thumping emphasis that he is heading int a Big Four meeting with Russia with "no appeasement in my heart." He said he doesn't believe the American people suspect thei government is apt to fall into the appeasement trap. Neutralized States Noted that the thought seem to be developing that "there mighi be built up a series of neutralized states from north to south through Europe." But he said the peace treaty neutralizing Austria does- n't mean "a disarmed Austria" nor "a military blank." That kind of neutrality, of a kind he said Swit- zerland would fight to the death to protect, "is a far different thing from just a military vacuum." The air power issue was pegged to a speech in which Sen. Syming- tin (D-Mo.) former Air Force sec- retary, told the Senate Tuesday this country and the free world may have lost control of the air to Russia. Symington called for an investigation to determine the relative strength of Russian and free world forces in all militar categories, in the light of flights of new type planes over Moscow early this month. 'A Relative Thing' Eisenhower was asked whether he thinks this country has lost control of the air to Russia. "As anybody who is experienced in warfare knows," he said, "con- trol of the air is a relative thing. and anybody with a certain amount of air force in action can gain control over a place where he chooses to concentrate his air, and for a given space of time ... even in the face of quite great general superiority on the other side. "The Germans did it to us as late as January, 1945." The Chief Executive conceded that the United States may not have as many B52 intercontinent- al jet bombers "as we should like at this moment."j Great Development "I don't know the exact num- ber," he said. "But to say that we have lost in a twinkling all of this great technical development and technical excellence as well as the numbers in our total aircraft i, just not true." There was nothing to clarify whether he meant that the Unit- ed States has or hasn't lost super- iority in numbers of planes, with- out being surpassed in quality. Russia generally is credited with having far more military aircraft of all types than the United States, with the exception of strategic long-range bombers.

The third consecutive whitewash and seventeenth straight dual meet victory was merely the last in a series of tuneups for the unbeat- en Wolverines before they journey to Indiana Friday for their stiffest Big Ten competition of the season against the defending Conference champions. Michigan, which hasn't been seriously threatened since its 5-4 triumph over Western Michigan two weeks ago, reached a new high in efficiency yesterday when it captured all nine matches in straight sets and completed the meet in "' less than two and a half hours.

The disclosure came when a re- porter asked why there had been no report on the findings of a fed- eral inspection team which has completed a visit to Wyeh Lab- oratories, Inc., at Marietta, Pa. No Further Release "There will be no further re- leases of vaccine from any manu- facturer for several days," a spokesman said. He added the sit- uation did not affect the 7,850,000 cubic centimeters of vaccine pro- duced by two other laboratories and approved for use in the' na- tion-wide immunization program. He described the delay as sim- ply another precautionary meas- ure. He explained that government scientific inspectors conducting a plant-by-plant study have been seeking to develop refined methods for studying and analyzing proto- cols-scientific data submitted by manufacturers on which govern- ment clearance on the vaccine is based. To Review Data "They have now developed those and now they are going to review them," the spokesman said. Later Dr. Leonard A. Scheele, surgeon general of the Public Health Service, confirmed that "there will be no further an- nouncement with respect to the release of poliomyelitis vaccine for the next several days." Dr. Scheele added: "This should noit be inferred as reflecting in any way on the vaccine of the compa- nies whose manufacturing and testing processes are under study. New Developments The Public Health Svic, an- nouncement followed a day in which there were these other de- velopments: 1. President Dwight D. Eisen- hower said Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby has done "a mighty magnificent job" as secretary of health, edu- cation and welfare. The Public Health Service is under her juris- diction. 2. Pres. Eisenhower disclosed that Mrs. Hobby told him some months ago she might have to leave the Cabinet for personal rea- sons. Heemphasized that this had nothing to do .with her handling of the Salk vaccine.. 3. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) called for a thorough investigation of "the entire vaccine release pro- cedures which have been fol- lowed." He said some Senate com- mittee should put Mrs. Hobby and her medical staff under oath to fin dout "just what steps were taken in testing the vaccine." 4. Eisenhower announced there is enough Salk vaccine now on hand or "in sight" to give the first of a scheduled series of three shots to every American schoolchild in the first and second grades. k [ , Senate Committee Stops Move for Fixed Pr WASHINGTON -The Senate Agriculture Committee yester- day defeated by one vote an effort to force final congressional action this year on a move to restore farm price supports to a fixed, high level. Aid Pieipont John G. McKevitt, '47MPA will become assistant to Vice-Presi- dent Wilbur Pierpont, June 1. According to Pierpont he will assist in the plant and building expansion. Working with the variousj schools and colleges he will ex- plain their requirements to theI State Budget and Planning Divi- sions. "The University is fortunate to be able to obtain MeKevitt's ser- vices because of his knowledge and experience in this work" Pierpont said. this is what were going to have. "I believe that those who have strayed and returned in good faith should be welcomed back to the Democratic fold," said Stevenson. "I am against loyalty oaths but am very much in favor of loyalty and good faith in politics, and I believe a delegate who takes part in any Democratic' decision-mak- ing process bears a serious obliga- tion to abide by the majority de- cision unless his conscience forbids him to." Stevenson was asked if he plans to become a 1956 presidential can- didate. He replied that all he knows about that "is what you fel- lows have been writing." By an 8-7 vote the committee decided to hold hearings for an indefinite time on the price support program in general, as well as a House bill to boost props back to 90 per cent of parity. It was uncertain even when the hearings would start.

By MERLE MAYERSTEIN True to its founder's predilec- tion for the sensational, William Randolph Hearst's International News Service has gained prestige in the news agency field because of its energy, resourcefulness and variety. Born in 1909, the same year the subsidiary, King Features Syndi- cate, INS furnishes news and fea- tures to a number of newspapers. Not many of these clients sub- scribe to the Hearst editorial ideas, however. In order to please as wide a clientele as possible, INS has kept itself free from any overt slant- ing. Blankets Globe Like the Associated Press and patches reach an audience of more than 250,000,000 people, via the major communications media of newspapers, radio, television and newsreels. The news dispatches and special features go out directly on the ser- vice's own teletype and wireless channels, and indirectly through network and other tieups. In the United States alone, INS operates more than 170,000 miles Sse S u, they could con- tinue past adjournment of the current session. Committee Chairman Ellender (D-La.), who has opposed bring- ing the issue to a Senate vote this year, notedeWednesday's action could be reversed. But he express- ed hope a majority of the com- mittee would permit "a thorough study of this problem." The House last week passed by a thin margin a bill to scrap the flexible system of price supports pushed through by the Adminis- tration in 1954. This calls for guarantees of 821/ to 90 per cent of parity on such basic crops as sorn and wheat. Parity is a standard designed to insure farmers a fair return in SRINIVASA N COMMENTS: India Favors 'Peace Area' By PETE ECKSTEIN India aims to create a "peace area" in Asia, Prof. Nidamarulu Srinivasan of Andhra University said in a lecture yesterday. Prof. Srinivasan said his coun- try would like to "build up a chain of independent democracies" which would retain their "freedom of judgement and action" despite the cold war. policy is "born of friendship," he commented. Prime Minister Nehru feels the United States is "more anxious for Western unity than to help the colonial nations of Asia," the professor added. "The assumption of American policy seems to be that war is in- evitable," he said, while India is "determined that war can be avoided." adding that his country's policy is "pro-Indian. We have fought in- ternal Communism with more vig- or than any other country, includ- ing the United States." Indians are devoted, he empha- sized, to the "active pursuit of peace." Bi-polarization of the world's powers and, the; building up of armaments are not proper m~ ,s f r,-,i',iiing it. (1P main-.
