Joint Chiefs Chairmen Accused
Of Asking Dangerous Blank Check
WASHNGTON (A')-The chairmar of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Gen. Nathan V. Twining, went to bat for President Dwight D. Eisen-
bower's defense reorganization plan yesterday-and was accused of
asking Congress for a dangerous blank check.
Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.) and several other Democrats on
the House Armed Services Committee shot sharp questions at the Air,
Force general about the proposed Pentagon shakeup.
Gen. Twining, told the committee, which is holding hearings on
the reorganization bill, it might be possible for a combined staff of
military planners to' become an all-powerful general staff unless
Congress put a limit on its size
and authority.

AA UP Vote
On Censure
Unanimous
Oniy Scattered Votes
Approve 'U' Action
Censure of the University by the
American Association of Univer-
sity Professors was virtually un-
animous, a local delegate to the
convention said yesterday.
The censure came because of
the 1954 dismissal of Prof. Mark
Nickerson, formerly of the medi-
cal school and H. Chandler Da-
vis, formerly of the mathematics
department.
Except for a few scattered nays
the voice vote of the approximate-
ly 175 schools represented was un-
animous, Prof. Sheridan Baker of
the English department reported.
Will Work With AAUP
He said that most University
administrations want to get off
the censure list and will work
with the national AAUP to cor-
rect the conditions.
The local chapter of the AAUP
"agreed in general" that. the
charges were well founded, he
said. "Although we felt that aca-
demic freedom and tenure was in
far better shape than some of the
schools that were censured, and
in some of the schools that were
removed from censure"
The local delegates were In-
structed to abstain from voting on
the censure, according to Prof.
Baker.
'U' Abstains in Voting
The local chapter abstained
from voting because it felt it could
not make an objective judgment,
he said.
The decision on releasing a let-
ter from the local AAUP to the
national concerning the local's
position in the case will be made
May 12, Prof. Baker said.
Give Gidet
To Druids
Druids, senior men's honorary,
have been awarded the contract
for publishing student directories
for this Summer and next year,
according to Maurice Rinkel, sec-
retary of the Board in Control of
Student Publications.'
No staff positions have been fill-
ed, according to Druid active
James Elsman, '58, since much of
the work will be done by Druids
not yet tapped. The present mem-
bers are lining up advertising, Els-
man said.
Elsman mentioned increased ac-
curacy as one improvement the
honorary has in mind. This would
be done by stationing a man in
registration to check "railroad
tickets" for legibility, he said.
More "yellow pages" classified
advertising is intended, according
to Elsman.

POSSIBLE DEPRESSION:
Meany Predicts Unemployment Rise

WASHINGTON (R) -- George
Meany, organized labor's top lead-
er, said yesterday the nation is
sliding into a depression.
He, predicted unemployment
will rise to about six million in
June, barring some miracle.:
The AFL-CIO president's
gloomy appraisal came after a
meeting of the federation's Gen-
eral Board.- The board issued a
statement saying neither the Re-
publican administration nor the
Democratic Congress is living up
to its responsibilities to halt the
recession.
Says Government Bound
The board, made up of leaders
of all AFL-CIO unions, said the
federal government is bound un-
der the 1946 Employment Act to
promote maximum employment,
production and purchasing power.
U' Faculty
Members Get
Fellowships
Ten University faculty members
have been awarded Guggenheim
Fellowships to enable them to
carry on their studies in their
various fields of research." .,
The recipients of the grants
were Prof. Richard K. Beardsley
of the anthropologydepartment
for further work in his study of
Spanish small-farm communities
and Prof. Alex Berman of the
pharmacy school for a comparative
study of hospital pharmacy in
France and the United States:
Prof. Donald A. Darling of the
mathematics school was also
awarded a fellowship for research
in probability theory and Prof.
Russell H. Fifield of the political
science department for studies of
the Philippine role in Asia since
independence.
Awards also went to Prof. Fred-
erick W. Gehring of the mathe-
matics department for a study of
the boundary behavior of mero-
morphic functions and Prof. John
W. Hall of the history department
for studies of the feudal domain of
Okayama, Japan.
Prof. John F. Muehl of the Eng-
lish department also received a
grant for a historical study of the
British East India Company, as
did Prof. Paul M. Naghdi of the
engineering school for a study in
the theory of elastic-plastic solids
and work-hardening materials.
The last two University awards
went to Prof. Roger A. Pack of the
classical studies department for
studies of "Onirocritica" of Arte-
midorus Daldianus and Prof.
Jacob M. Price of the history de-
partment for a study of the Anglo-
American tobacco trade, 1660-
1775.

Yet, it said : "Little has been
done. As a result, the nation is
threatened with a depression. Em-
ployment, production and pur-
chasing power have dropped
month after month since the re-
cession started last summer."
"Everything indicates we're still
going downhill," Meany said.
'Steel Down'
"Steel production last week was
471/2 per cent of capacity, the
lowest in nine years. The inven-
tory of new automobiles is just as
great now if not greater than in
March.
"I'm quite sure unemployment
will go close to six million in June,
unless some miracle happens."
Meany did not mention it but
unemployment usually rises in
June when students flood the job
market after schools let out.
Student Rise
The AFL-CIO leaders again
called for a big tax cut, one of six
to eight billion dollars aimed at
low and middle income families.
They urged federal legislation to
boost amount and duration of un-
employment insurance benefits
permanently.
They said neither the program
to boost jobless aid advocated by
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
nor the one approved by the House
Ways and Means Committee is
adequate. The AFL-CIO advocat-
ed an idle benefit level of at least
half regular earnings. .**
Faubus Loses
Court Appeal
ST. LOUIS W)-Gov. Orval E.
Faubus of Arkansas lost in the
Federal Court of Appeals yester-
day his fight in the Little Rock
integration dispute.
He planned an appeal to the
United states Supreme Court.
The appeals court censured the
governor for calling out National.
Guard troops to keep nine Negro
children out of Central High
School there last fall.
If permitted to stand, the court
said, such a course could lead only
to a complete breakdown of gov-
ernment.
Gov. Faubus' appeal from a
Federal District Court injunction
against interference with integra-
tion at the high school was re-
jected unanimously by the three-
judge court.
The appeal court also rejected
appeals in two parallel cases in*
which the federal government's
use of troops to enforce integra-
tion was challenged.
The racial controversy drew in-
tentional attention last fall, and
the Arkansas governor became the
storm center when school authori-
ties sent the Negroes home in the
face of mob action.

V 7. , AVSV"j -f +. . -
Schweitzer urged last night that
Britain, the United States and
Russia negotiate at a summit con-
ference for the renunciation of nu-
clear weapons.
Discussion on other disarma-
ment questions, including con-
trols for the disposal of nuclear
weapons should come later, 'he
said.
His statement was one of a
series of three by the 83-year-old
missionary, surgeon and Nobel
Prize winner for 1952. In two other
statements he urged the ending of
nuclear tests, and declared the
danger of atomic war is greater
than ever.
The Nobel Institute in Norway
distributed the statements to 80
countries.
"It would be fitting if those who
have the authority to take the re-
sponsibility, and not those who
have only nominal authority and
who cannot move an inch from
their instructions, would confer
together," Dr. Schweitzer said.
Only the highest personalities of
the three nuclear powers together
with their experts and advisors
should be seated at such a con-
ference, he said, and only ques-
tions that have to do directly with
the renunciation of nuclear weap-
ons should be discussed.

FLORIDA BOMBINGS:
Temple, Negro School
Damiaged by Explosion
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (P)-Dynamite explosions damaged a Negro
school and a Jewish synagogue early yesterday.
The blasts occurred outside each building and resulted mainly
in broken windows at the synagogue and dislocation of the roof and
one wall of the James Weldon Johnson High School.
Mayor Haydon Burns said "it is quite obvious this' is the work
of an outsider" and asked the FBI to investigate.
The FBI, however, said it had no jurisdiction, adding it found
no evidence federal law had been violated. The two scenes are about.

The Vanguard rocket foared

Thus the rocket failed to attain

The new satellite was equipped

X rays shooting from the sun..
Measuring 20 inches in diame-

which could measure these rays
and broadcast its findings back to

These discoveries would be of

Agreements
Chrysler Gives No
Immediate Answer;'
Expected to Agree
DETROIT (P)- General Motors
Corp. and Ford Motor Co. rejected
last night Walter P. Reuther's pro-
posal for a three-month extension
of present contracts with the
United Auto Workers Union.
Both proposed instead that the
present contracts be renewed for
two years.
Chrysler had no immediate reply
to the UAW proposal submitted to
the big three auto concerns but it
is expected to follow suit.
Harlow H. Curtice president of
GM, and Henry Ford II, president
of Ford Motor Co., demanded long
term contracts, continuingin e-
fect provisions giving workers an
annual productivity increase and
cost of living allowances.
Before the start of negotiations
a month ago, GM had suggested
extending the present contractfor
two years and Curtice made it an
official bargaining offer yetrday.
"Such a two-year agreement, if
concluded promptly, would bring
labor relations peace, and oi a
sound basis," Curtice said.
"A three-month delay designed
merely to secure for the union an
additional measure of power with
which to enforce its demands
would make no such contribution."
The companies regarded Reu-
ther's proposal as a move to im-
prove his bargaining position by
postponing a showdown until Sep-
tember.
Present three-year contracts ex-
pire at the end of May.
He said the demand mdae in
current bargaining 'sessions by the
UAW exceed 73 cents per hour per

TURNER:
anding Key to Wise Counseling'

By RUTH BERS
Understanding of human needs, not a knowledge of culture and
religion, is the key to successful counseling of foreign students, accord-
ing to Prof. Ralph E. Turner of Yale University.
Speaking before the Conference on International Educational
Exchanges, the'10th Annual Conference of the National Association of
Foreign Student Advisors, Prof. Turner stressed the necessity of
understanding the feelings and ambitions of all people. The import-
ance of religious understanding was emphasized by Prof. Kenneth W.
Morgan of Yale University. Prof. Amiya Chakravarty, a visiting pro-
fessor from India, at Boston University, urged that foreign and-
American students take part in each other's traditional celebrations.
You don't know enough about foreign students, because you don't
know'enough about yourselves," Prof. Turner charged the audience.
"You are not looking at the neonle." Prof. Turner continued. He ex-
