Y, SEPTEMBER 25, 1956 NIGHT EDITOR: CAROL PRINS Coed Dorm Study Committee Holds Far-Reaching Responsibility THEFUTURE of the student committee established last spring for preliminary planning of the proposed coeducational dormi- tory on North Campus, carries with it a greater significance than is at first apparent. Basically, the committee, which became de- funct last spring and which the administra- tion promises to reactivate "very soon," can show the architect what students want in Resi- dence Hall living. But beyond this most apparent reason for continued, active work of the group there are other important considerations. The Residence Halls are financed by a self- liquidating plan; students pay for buildings in which they will never live. This may not be the best plan but since it is the situation, the ad- ministration has realized it only justifiable that the residents have a say in dormitory planning. This opportunity has been granted with the coed dorm study committee. If this student group is unsuccessful, it is not= inconceivable that it will lose the valuable asset of student participation that has been granted by the University. BJUT BEYOND this lies an even more ominous threat. At the time the administration raised the room and board rate last spring the third the room and board rate last spring (the third of the Residence.Halls said they would establish an appropriate study committee composed of students, faculty andradministration "to con- sider the financial area of future room and board yalses." This is one of the most significant gains ever made toward a better understanding of Resi- dence Hall policy and operation which always seems to be shrouded in a dark cloak of mystery. It is not suggested that students should, or could, ever tell administrators how to run the Residence Halls but at the same time it can not be honestly said that students, who have continually paid more each year for room and board-with no end in sight-should' be as much in the dark on policies, finances, and operation as they are. But if the coed dormitory study committee should fail to produce, what real argument will students have for establishment of the financial study group-which has not yet occurred-or, for that matter, any other student committees? THELACK of much dynamic action, the rather confused organization of the com- mittee last spring and the state of dormfancy in which it now slumbers leaves some doubt that it ever will be a success. To achieve this most necessary success, then, two steps are necessary. First tho Administrar tion must reactivate the committee as they have promised But from then on the students, and this is by far the most important of the two steps, must take the initativ9 to prove that they can accept the responsibility and faith given them by theAuniversity. --DAVID TARR "I Said There'd Be Trouble, And I Won't Have You Making A Liar Out Of Me" \f 's PESERKATI h r r. h~ - re _ L r 401% 6 wg'.4SUMJACr*Al POST Q1. ULTIMATE WEAPON Guided Missile Its Own Defense By WILLIAM HANEY Daily Staff Writer JUST HOW ultimate is today's so-called ultimate weapon; the rocket- propelled guided missile. Though still in the infant stage, present guided and ballistic missiles are effective enough to render modern-day concepts of defense obselete. For the first time in the history of war (hense, in the history of man) a weapon has been created for which there seems to be no defense; no counter-weapon. Battleships and destroyers can be effectively thwarted by under- water mines, aircraft and submarines. Jet bombers carrying nuclear Pw.

BUT ONCE a rocket-propelled missile is launched it is virtually unstoppable. The Air Force admits the utter futility of depending on intercep- tors for defense by terminating production and experimentation of the Niki and other ineffective in- terceptors. While the Niki may be valuable against the Bison or other jet bombers, it is David with a broken slingshot when confront- ed with such a Goliath as a missile travelling two or three times the speed of sound. One solution to the problem would be to wipe out all enemy missile - launching b a s e s. T h e United States is striving for the protection that can come only if the Communists know we are capable of immediate retaliation with rockets carrying nuclear war- heads. The guided missile is, then, its own counter-weapon. It is ulti- mate in that nothing can stop it once it has been launched; but it is limited in that once it is pos- sessed by all major powers, fear of retaliation will prevent its ever being used as a weapon. LOSSES STEEP: Stocks Turn Downwuvfard NEW YORK, Sept. 24 (AP)-An advance at the start lost its steam and the stock market turned downward again today. But trading was slow as pivotal issues took losses ranging from fractions to 3 points or so. For a while it looked as if the market would resume its rally of Friday but prices began to weaken within the first hour. By early afternoon they were irregular. As the session wore on losses became steeper but most pivotal issues re- treated narrowly. Volume totaled 1,840,000 shares compared with 2,100,000 Friday. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks declined $1.40 to $178.20 with industrials down $1.80, rails down $2.10 and utilities down 30, cents. The dip in the average was the same as Friday's gain. This meant an estimated loss of about $1,600,000,000 in the quoted value of stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, erasing an equivalent gain made on Friday. There are four things to be feared in life -- earthquake, fire, thunder, and the wrath of an an- gry father. .-Japanese proverb The New Party Line L ONG OVERDUE in the light of recent events, the United States Communist. party has renounced its advocacy of the use of force to establish a new regime in the U.S. Not re- flecting the general policies of the Kremlin, the Communists now consider themselves an educational league rather than a group of liquidationists. The only surprise is that this was not done sooner. It is two years since the Kremlin announced its now well-known 'soft' policy and one wonders why America communists were so slow to recognize its possibilities. But even if the approach has changed, most assuredly the aims remain what they always were-and the Reds are the first to admit it. Communist literature still overflows with talks of trusts, imperialists, enemies of freedom, and the establishment of a egolitarian order. THE NEW APPROACH merely makes the Communists more dangerous. Now that they no longer advocate the violent overthrow of the government, they can no longer be prose- cuted under the Smith act. This legalizes-- or opens the way to legality-any communist literature that does not violate the standard codes of journalistic practice. It is not hard to imagine how a flood of subtle literature could undermine U.S. support of a particular foreign policy. As was illus- trated in the period 1935-1937, the effects of such a campaign are not unimportant. In that instance, many pro-German organizations flooded the country with pacifist and Anti- semetic literature, undoubtedly contributing to the delayed arousal of U.S. public opinion. But the biggest advantage gained by this shift in policy is that Communist leaders in the U.S. can no longer be Jailed under the Smith Act. By removing violence from their doctrine, the Communists have at the same time removed the hands of their greatest enemy, the F.B.I. Arrest under the Smith Act' can now only be done onan individual basis. Proved leaderships of the Communist Party can no longer be considered a crime. Another consideration is that the Communists' move has showed the relative uselessness of the Smith Act-one of the least liberal laws on the federal law books. When this law was enacted many felt that it would merely drive the Communists underground and make them more dangerous. INDEED, that is exactly what happened. But even worse, it has shown them the advantages of respectability. -DAVID GELFAND WASHINGTON-The Stevenson brain trust isn't advertising it, but they had a certain amount of trouble getting their candidate to come out and pin Eisenhower Ad- ministration mistakes on Eisen- hower himself. At first Adlai ducked away from this, didn't want to tangle with the President. His advisers warned, however, that no president could be divorced from either his party or his ad- ministration, and that Ike was just as much responsible for the mistakes of his cabinet as Truman and Roosevelt were for theirs. They also warned that Stevenson couldn't possibly win unless he aimed for the political heart of the GOP, namely Ike himself Stevenson finally bought this advice, though he was obviously unhappy about it, didn't even like it after his first speech pinning GOP responsibility on the GOP president. ADLAI'S ADVISERS have not been able to budge him on an- other campaign issue, however, namely Suez. They have pointed out that the Dulles-Eisenhower mistake in picking Colonel Nas- ser as the friend of the U.S.A. and in urging the British to get out of the Suez area in 1953 when the Eisenhower Administration first took office is just as serious an error as any the Democrats made re Red China. They believe that both Dulles and Eisenhower should be charged with fumbling and blundering in the Near East. However, Adlai has ruled that in the interest of national security and a bipartisan foreign policy, Suez should not be made a cam- paign issue. * * C WHILE RACE riots occupy the headlines, one unsunggroup is quietly making progress toward better race relations. This is the President's Committee on Govern- ment Contracts, which enforces fair employment standards among companies doing business with Un- cle Sam. In Chicago, the committee help- ed Mayor Richard Daley with companies that had notified em- ployment offices they would not hire Negro or Jewish workers. A dozen companies with government contracts agreed to adopt a non- discrimination policy. Chicago's Federal Reserve Bank also agreed to hire Negro clerks for the first time, after Mayor Daley called a meeting of leading businessmen and asked their cooperation in ending race discrimination. In Washington and Baltimore, the committee sent John Roose- velt, the late FDR's son, to talk to telephone company executives. Presidential aide Max Rabb also applied pressure from the White House. Together they persuaded the company to hire Negro tele- phone operators. In the south, GOP leader John Minor Wisdom of New Orleans persuaded Shell Oil Company to revise its personnel policy and of- fer Negro laborers a chance for advancement. This has set a pat- tern for all the major oil refiner- ies below the Mason-Dixon line. It's a long-range program that will take education and training, but the committee has undertak- en it without fanfare. * * * TOM KENNEDY, right-hand man of John L.
