To help the Air Force refuel its jet bombers faster, tempera- tures ranging between those of the Arctic and desert regions of the world are being duplicated on the University's North Campus. The study is centering around a special trailer, built for the Air Force by the Pryor Manufacturing Company of Mansfield, Ohio, which will regulate the high speed flow of fuel from the base's pipe line into the bomber's fuel tanks. To test the special trailer's per- formance under extreme tempera- ture, especially insulated buildings have been erected around the unit. These buildings, in which the tem- perature tests will take place, were erected by a group of mechanical pengineers under the direction of Prof. Glenn V. Edmondson. Using dry ice, they have lowered temperatures in the buildings to 98 degrees below zero, far below the minus 65 degrees specified for the tests. Temperatures to the magnitude of 160 degrees above zero are being produced by a series of electric heating elements, and conditions of desert sunlight are produced by batteries of special lamps. Professor Edmondson explains that the researchers are interested in the performance of the trailer's precision parts over a wide range of temperature differences between the flowing fuel and the trailer's environment. The need for a unit of this type arises from the necessity of pre- venting fuel pressure from damag- ing the plane's fuel system. Prof. Edmondson adds that the destruc- Former Star Anti-Communist Witness Convicted of Perjury tive pressures are the result of sudden stops in the flow of fuel. The effect is much like the bang- ing of a Water faucet when it is suddenly closed. Besides the trailer and the tem- perature control buildings, the sprawling research project con- tains a 1,000 foot pipeline, a 6,000 gallon storage tank for fuel, an electric power line and controll panels and another trailer, a house trailer. The house trailer itself contains about $30,000 worth of research instruments. The Pryor Manufacturing Com- pany's Research Institute is ad- ministering the project while fac- ulty members and eight under- graduate students from the College of Engineering are conducting the research. On their own, the engineers have investigated the hydronamic prop- erties of fast flowing fuels beyond the scope specified by the Air Force's project. Studies of sonic velocities in fuel, transient wave forms and the damping charac- teristics of hydrant systems are being pursued, and reports on the studies will be published in scien- tific literature. The project, providing valuable research experience for students, is typical of those to be under- taken in the University's new North Campus Fluids Laboratory.

EVERETT NEW YORK (P) -- Harvey M. Matusow's career as a professional liar was climaxed this week by his conviction on five federal counts of perjury. He once starred for the govern- ment as an anti-Communist wit- ness. A jury of 10 men and two women took three hours and 15 minutes to convict the 29-year-old Matusow of lying in behalf of 13 second- string Communist leaders. Sentencing is set for today. The maximum is 25 years in prison. Matusow-ever dramatic-paled, slumped in his chair and brought his hand to his eyes as he heard the verdict. Short, dark-haired and slimmed down to 150 from a roly-poly 230 pounds, Matusow chain-smoked and paced the courthouse corri- dors while awaiting the verdict that climaxed his 10-day trial. United States District Judge John F. X. McGohey dismissed a sixth perjury count in the original indictment before giving the case to the jury. The verdict was a complete ex- oneration of Roy M. Cohn, the controversial former chief counsel of the Senate subcommittee once headed by Sen. Joseph R. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis.). Matusow helped convict the 13 second-string Red leaders. Cohn, then an assistant U.S. attorney, helped prosecute them. Then Matusow recanted, said his original testimony had been shot through with lies and accused Cohn of inducing him to bear false witness to help the case against the Reds. It was this recantation and the charge against Cohn that was the basis for the perjury in- dictment. Cohin denied the accusation un- der oath. He said had he known' Matusow was a confirmed liar, he would not have used him as a witness at the 1952-53 Smith Act trial of 13 Communists. I Extra! "THE TRADITION THAT IS MICHIGAN" FILMED IN ANN ARBOR By JAMES BOW Courtesy, a low standard of liv- ing, and a sincere respect for the United States are impressions car- ried back from the Philippines by Prof. George A. Peek, Jr., of the political science department. Prof. Peek spent several months teaching at the Institute of Public Administration near Manila, under a four-year program sponsored by the University of Michigan and the University of the Philippines Under the program University faculty members have taught at the Institute, whose student body includes Filipinos and representa- tives from other Southeast Asian nations. Takes Back Close-ups Peek went to the Philippines in May and returned this fall, bring- ing back with him some close-up views on the customs, problems, and development of the Philippine nation. "Land reform and industrializa- tion are the chief problems in the Philippines, as they are in most other Asian nations," Prof. Peek emphasized. "I mean land reform in the broadest sense," he added, "which means new techniques in use of the land and marketing of the pro- ducts." Prof. Peek explained that from 30 to 40 per cent of Philippine farmers, who comprise the major- ity of the population, are tenant farmers, paying high rents. Fur- thermore, timber, which is abun- dant in the Philippines, is being freely cut and wasted because of the lack of conservation practices. 'Stealing The Show' However, Philippine President Magasaysay has done much to- ward land reform, "stealing the show" from the rapidly diminish- ing Communist movement which used land reform as its chief plat- form. The Communists, or "Huks" as they are called, have since dis- persed into roving bandits in the mountains of Luzon. Thus, Prof. Peek illustrated the relative insignificance of the Com- munist movement in the Philip- pines, less of a problem than land reform or industrialization. Not Yet Developed "The Philippines is a country which potentially can develop, but has not as yet," were the words which Prof. Peek used to describe the present industrial status of the nation. Textiles, manila rope, building material, and steel were listed as possibilities for industrial expansion. Another phase of industrializa- tion is illustrated by a clause from the Philippine constitution, which gives Americans business equality' with the Philippines and utiliza- tion of the country's resources until 1974. Thus, American interests have a free hand in the Philippines. Prof. Peek described the clause in the constitution as giving Ameri- cans "too much respect." "Respect" was the word which Peek used to describe the Philip- pine attitude toward Americans living in their country. A Manila newspaper is run by Americans, and English is the chief language in the Philippines. "Filipinos are exceedingly gracious," Peek commented. "Even in class, when a student would disagree with something I said, he would express his feeling in a very roundabout, inoffensive way." Although Filipinos are ex- tremely courteous, their general poverty sometimes brings about violence, as illustrated by the gangs of bandits which roam through the hills. The average annualy family in- come in the Philippines is about $300 a year, and there is also a problem of unemployment, Prof. Peek added. Professors With Servants However, a Philippine college professor, who receives a salary much smaller than an American professor, can afford several serv- ants, and someone with a salary of $6,000 a year can live very, very well in Manila. Prof. Peek gave further impres- sion of Manila, a city which he compared with a modern metropo- lis anywhere in the world. Of about 1,000,000 population, Manila sup- ports newspapers in English and Tagalog, a M41ay dialect, the offi- cial language of the region. "Manila has not yet completely recovered from World War IV" Peek said. "It was perhaps second to Warsaw, in the scope of its devastation." He went on to de- scribe modern Manila as a city of white or light-colored concrete buildings and wide streets. Mixed Culture Chinese merchants carry on a good deal of the business in the city, and there is also evidence of the Spanish influence-Spain hav- ing ruled the Philippines for 300 years. Land in the Philippines is still owned by landlords living in Barcelona and Madrid. Peek's impressions of the Uni- versity of the Philippines include a modern campus, faculty housing, and an active student interest in politics. In summing up his stay in the Philippines, Prof. Peek remarked, "I had to work hard to catch up on Philippine history." Michigan GOP Denies Charge Republican state chairman John Feikens praised the strength of the state's party leadership. Feikens counterattacked a recent statement by United States Post- master General Arthur Suminer- field that charged "Michigan's government has failed to kep pace with the government in Washington. We need stronger state leadership." Republicans in the Summerfield camp have blamed Feikens for the lack of state Republican strength. They point out that the Republi- cans lost this year's spring elec- tion, one they usually won. Feikens retorted, "Our strength at the state level is not weak. We have a majority of approximately 10 in the Senate and five in the House and expect an increase in that number." He said Republicans expected to win congressional seats in the Sixth, Ninth, and Seventeenth Dis- tricts. "We have our best chance in the Seventeenth District where incumbent Martha Griffiths won by only 3,000 votes in 1954." . t CAMPUS TALENT :7 M Musicians Singers SMagicians * Dancers Bands ADVERTISE IN THE STUDENT DIRECTORY Space in the Yellow Pages Available Come to the Student Publications Building 3-5 P.M.
