Notables To Try Out
For Daily Tomorrow
Novelists, foreign correspondents, governors, editors and advertis.
ing magnates will assemble at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Student Pub-
lications Building to try out for The Daily.
You won't recognize any notables among the group that gathers
for this first meeting, but they'll be there, for sure. A file in the
editorial'office of The Daily proves it.
* * * * ,
THE FILE RUNS BACK to 1890, the first year of publication. It
contains the names of some 250 former staff members. And it includes
some of the most successful men and women in nearly every kind
of work.
They all worked, up from The Bottom, whose headquarters
you will find at 420 Maynard St., one block west of Angell Hall.
There's Frank Gilbreth, author of the best-selling book "Cheaper
by the Oozen." He was managing editor of The Daily in the early '30's.
There's H. C. L. Jackson, noted Detroit columnist, who served as
Daily city editor back in days of Yost.
There's Denis Flanagan, editor of the magazine Scientific Ameri-
can. He is another former city editor, of late '30's vintage.
A CHICAGO TRIBUNE advertising manager worked for The
Daily. So did the advertising manager of a large automobile manu-
facturer, the news editor of a radio station, editors of weekly news-
papers, screen writers, and editors of technical publications.
And reporters-they're a dime a dozen in the files of Daily alumni.
You can find fomer Daily-workers writing for newspapers from Vaine
to ,California.
Thomas E. Dewey, governor of New York, was a telegraph editor
on The Daily.

Action Result
Of Editorial
On Legion
By The Associated Press
EAST LANSING - Michigan
State College yesterday suspend-
ed publication of the MSC News
for the summer and announced
that henceforth it would be placed
under a full-time director of stu-
dent publications.
The suspension came as the re-
sult of an editorial appearing in
last Thursday's News that called
an American Legion mock trial
in its boys' state "an experiment
shot with narrow principles, bald-
faced fascism and militaristic
ideas."
* *
THE EDITORIAL took note of
"catcalls, hisses and boos"naimed
at a fictitious Communist on trial
for perjury and at "army trap-
pings" in the conduct of the pro-
gram for 1,000 boys.
The Legion demanded that
the News retract the editorial,
written by Russel P. McKee, a
veteran.

Coast Guard
Halts All-Out
Plane Search
ST. JOSEPH-(IP)-The Coast
Guard yesterday called off its all-
out search of choppy Lake Michi-
gan waters for the missing North-
west Airlines passenger plane.
Coast Guard officials said the
search will be continued today
only on a limited basis, with one
or two small boats going out.

RIGHT NOW The Daily has positions open on both the business
and editorial staffs. And opportunities on The Daily during the sum-
mer session are even greater than in the regular terms.
With a smaller staff there is more experience for everyone. There
are those who insist that Dewey would have been President now if
he'd started out on The Daily in the summer.
MIC.ENER WON'T RUN:
Eight Candidates Entered
In Congressional Race
With eight candidates vying for the right to represent this dis-
trict in Congress, the 1950 election campaign is shaping up as the
hottest in two decades.
Five Republicans and three Democrats will battle it out in the
September primary and November general election. One of them will
replace Republican Rep. Earl C. Michener, 30-year Congressional vet-
eran, who has announced he will not run for re-election because of
the illness of his wife.
* *

ANNOUNCING the suspension,
Prof. A. A. Applegate, head of the
journalism department and chair-
man of the college board of pub-
lications, asserted that "this whole
episode can be attributed to the
immature judgement of the edi-
tors of the State News."
Editor Ron Linton, who was res-
ponsible for McKee's editorial,
said that it attacked "only the
methods used in combatting Com-
munism."
Prof. Applegate announced that
when the student paper resumes
publication in the fall, W. F. Mc-
Ilrath, managing editor of the Do-
wagiac Evening News, will join
the college staff as the first full-
time Director of Student Publica-
tions.

versity's general budget for 1950-
51.

Regents' regular June meeting.
* * *
THE REGENTS also made eight
appointments to the faculty and
accepted gifts amounting to $83,-
684.34.
Prof. John W. Lederle of the
political science department and
director of curriculum of the

MARY C. BROMAGE
,' * *
Pay Tribute
T'o Deant
Bromage
The resignation of Associate
Dean of Women Mary C. Bro-
mage, which takes effect Friday,
has brought forth tributes to her
accomplishments in office from
the Board of Regents, President
Alexander G. Ruthven, and Mrs.
Bromage's staff and associates.
In announcing Mrs. Bromage's
resignation; President Ruthven
said that the University accepts
it "with regret. She has served
the University with distinction
during a difficult period, and has
carried on the duties of the office
of the Dean of Women with cre-
dit to herself and the University
during the long illness of the late
*Dean of Women Alice Lloyd."
And at a luncheon in honor of
Mrs. Bromage yesterday, Assis-
tant Dean of Women Elsie R. Ful-
ler recounted the things for which
Mrs. Bromage was partly or
largely responsible, including the
further development of women's
student government, the prepara-
tion of Lloyd Manual and training
programs for guidance of resi-
dence halls staffs, and resident
counsellors' program.
Mrs. Bromage was presented
with an overnight case from the
staff of the dormitories and Lea-
gue Houses and a silver tray from
the sorority house mothers.
The Regents, in the minutes of
their June meeting, , cited Mrs.
Bromage for her distinguished
work during a difficult period for
the University.
MRS. BROMAGE was appoint-
ed assistant dean of women in 1944
and associate dean in 1948.
She submitted her resigna-
tion upon the death of the late
Dean Lloyd March 3. It was
acted upon by the Board of Re-
gents at their June meeting.
Active in government and com-
munity affairs, Mrs. Bromage
worked for UNRRA during the
war.

THREE CUTTERS and a pa-
trol boat were used in the search
but nothing new was found. So
far, there has been no trace of
major portions of the wreckage.
Coast Guardsmen have found
pieces of human flesh, clothing
and fragments of wreckage in
an area 19 miles northwest of
St. Joseph. The water is 200-300
feet deep in the area.
Fifty-eight persons died when
the huge DC-4 crashed in Lake
Michigan during a storm early
last Saturday. It was flying non-
stop from New York to Minnea-
polis.
Airlines officials said the navy
would be asked to send down two
of its divers standing by only in
the event something is located.
The Navy earlier said it could not
send its divers into such depths
"promiscuously,"

By The Associated Press
CHICAGO - The spreading
railroad strike continued without
sign of a break yesterday and
thousands of coal miners and in-
dustrial workers were iorced into
idleness. John D. Farrington, Chi-
cage, president of the strikebound
8,000 mile Rock Island System,
urged that President Truman in-
tervene to end the strike of 4,000
AFL switchmen on five midwest-

night.
Deputies of the Radical So-

Henri Queuille, one of their
number, to form a "government

To Frenchmen the phrase re-
calls the "Committee of Pub-
lic Safety" which took over at
the height of the French Rev-
olution. It carries implications
of great emergency.

By The Associated Press
President Truman yesterda
sped American planes and war
ships Into combat' against the
Communist invaders of South Koi
ea, and ordered a general stiffer
ing of defenses against Red con
quest in the far Pacific.
Congress appeared most solidi
united behind him.
TRUMAN'S announcement, cre
ating a new U.S. foreign polic
served grim notice on the Kremli
to leash the armed forces of wor:
Communism or reckon with Ame:
ican firepower.
Perhaps for the first time
since the end of World War H2
hostilities, in speaking of Com-
munist aims, the President uset
the unadorned word "war." He
said Communism has passed be-
yond the use of subversive tac
ticts to "armed invasion and
war."

'U' Enrollment
Totals_8,554
Summer session classes at the
University Monday had an enroll-
ment of 8,554, according to Regis-
trar Ira M. Smith.
He .also estimated that late reg-
istrations and complete reports
from six camps would increase the
figure to approximately 9,500.
* * *
LATE REGISTRATION is per-
mitted in the Summer Session be-
cause the closing dates for many
schools and colleges do not give
teachers enough time to arrive on
campus before classes start.
As of Monday, the incomplete
registration report showed 5,860
men and 2,694 women enrolled.
There were 4,059 veterans.
Comparable figures for the open-
ing of classes in the 1949 Summer
Session show an enrollment of
8,824 students. There were 6,369
men, 2,455 women, and 4,773 vet-
erans.
Final enrollment figure for the
1949 Summer Session was 9,987,
nearly 500 more than Smith's esti.
mate for this summer.
