Senate Votes
$100 Million
Franco Loan
Measure Needs
House Approval
WASHINGTON-(A)-The Sen-
ate yesterday voted to let Spain
have a $100,000,000 loan.
It was one of the fe official
Y friendly gestures that nation has
had from the U.S. in several years.
* * *
SENATOR O'MAHONEY (D-
Wyo.) proposed the loan, as an
y. amendment to the giant $35,000,-
0000,000 appropriations bill. The
Senate agreed, 65 to 15. The money
would come from the government's
export-import bank.
Chairman Tydings (Dem.-
Md.) of the Senate Armed Forces
Committee said Spain is neces-
sary to the defense of the U.S
"in sheer realism, in sheer de-
fense," Tydings said, "we should
bring Spain into the orbit of the
.western European countries con-
bined with us."
SENATOR MORSE (Rep.-Ore.)
said the Senate was being urged
to support a loan to Spain because
this country might want air bases
there.
He said he looked upon this
as an attempted bribe of Fran-
Co.
"I don't feel that we're going to
win this war around the world if
we support totalitarianism, be it
Communistic or Fascist," Morse
said.
The U.S. withdrew its ambassa-
dor from Madrid in 146 as a sign
of disapproval of Gen. Franco.
Court Rules
CommUnist
VerdictValid
NEW YORK-(P)-A Federal
Appeals Court yesterday upheld
the Smith Act and the conviction
under it of the nation's 11 top
Communist leaders.
The unanimous opinion of three
judges was tuned to the times,
citing the Korean war and Presi-
dent Truman's latest warning
against subversives.
JUDGE. HARRIE. B.. CHASE
praised Congress for its foresight
in enacting the Smith act 10 years
ago. He called American Commu-
nists allies, if not tools of Soviet
Russia.
* Chase said the act does not
outlaw the Communist party
and does not outlaw revolution-
ary thought. Under it, he added,
a person may urge the abolition
of Congress and the Courts, an
end to freedom of speech and
press and other changes in ba-
sic American rights.
"What it does prohibit," Judge
Chase wrote, "is the urging of ac-
tion to accomplish such changes
as these by forcible means."
THE 11 COMMUNIST leaders
were convicted last Autumn of
conspiring to advocate the violent
overthrow of the United States
government. That is a violation of
the Smith Act.
At the time of their convic-
tions, they publicly vowed to
cary their appeals to the U.S.
Supreme Court. The Circuit
Court of Appeals is the last
stop before the high court.
The convicted leaders are Eu-
gene Dennis, John B. Williamson,
Jacob Stachel, Robert G. Thomp-
son, Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., Henry
Winston, John Gates, Irving Pot-
ash, Gilbert Green, Carl Winter
and Gus Hall.

Call Halt to Strik4
Cheer News of Conditional Vic
Leopold Capitulates in Compr
BRUSSELS, Belgium-(IP)-Militant Socialist leaders
with ,a conditional victory over King Leopold III, called
Leopoldist strikes last night and started the near-prostrat
back toward normalcy.
Thousainds of Socialist workers gathered at party hea
to cheer the news that the king was prepared to hand his
reassumed regal powers to his 19-year-old son, Crown Pri
douin, with the implication that Boudouin would become kin
when he reaches the age of 21 Sept. 7, 1951.
PRESUMABLY satisfied with
the terms of a compromise reach-
ed after a confusing 36 hours of
on-again, off-again bargaining,
the Socialist-led Belgian Trade
Union Federation directed strik-
ers to return to work today and
end their demonstrations. Socia-
list leaders have reported 500,000
workers - about one-fourth of
Belgium's labor force - were on
strike against the monarch, who
returned only 10 days ago after
six years in exile.
Leopold's expected capitula-
tion - abdication was implied
only in the king's promissory
note conditionally due-dated
Sept. 7, 1951 - was regarded as
a triumph for the Socialist-,
worker group. In addition, the
Socialists jubilantly claimed.
three concessions from the pro-f
Leopold Social Christian (Cath-
olic) government. These were:
1-The release of all persons
arrested in the disorders of the
past few days.
2-No punitive action to be tak-
en against public officials and
civil servants who refused to carry
out orders detrimental to the
strikers.
3-A call for a national labor
conference in Brussels Aug. 7-8,
during which representatives of
labor, employers, and the gov-
ernment will discuss wage and
hour demands.
Joint Committee
OK's AgeBenefits
WASHINGTON-(P)-A House-
Senate Committee gave its final
approval yesterday to a comprom-
ise bill blanketing 10,000,000 more
workers under old age insurance,
boosting benefits up to 100 per-
cent, and more than doubling se-
curity payroll taxes in the next
20 years.
Chairman George (Dem.-Ga.)
of the Senate Finance Committee
said the measure, after 18 months'
study in Congress, probably will
be put on President Truman's desk
next Monday, with final approval
of the House and Senate.

Regulationst on
TU' Recognitiont
Membership lists filed by stu-
dent organizations in order to ob-
tain University recognition must
be complete, but upon request will
be kept confidential by the Of-
fice of Student Affairs, the Stu-
dent Affairs Committee decided
yesterday.
In its last regular meeting of
the summer session, the Commit-
tee voted that the membership
lists, which .are regularly required
of student organizations, must
name all members.
* * * ,
PREVIOUSLY, a few student or-
ganizations had named only 30
of their members in order to com-
ply with a rule which requires
that number for University recog-
nition.
Under the new rule, the head
of each organization must cer-
tify that its membership list is
complete as of the date of filing
with the Office of Student Af-
fairs.
If the list is not complete, the
organization will not receive Uni-
versity recognition.
Upon request of a recognized
sudent organization, the Office of
Student Affairs will treat its mem-
bership list as confidential infor-
mation - to be released only tc
government agencies charged with
the national security.
Previously, the only student
groups which could have confi-
dential membership were political
clubs - Young Republicans,
Young Democrats, and Young
Progressives.
