lIade by Molotov
Russian Minister Pledges Support

SAN FRANCISCO (P)-V. M. Molotov yesterday put before the
United Nations a far-reaching Russian bid for "peaceful coexistence"
to end the cold war.

The Soviet foreign minister told the 10th anniversary meeting of
the UN that "We should pass from words to deeds and embark upon
such steps as would lead to theestablishment of the necessary trust
among nations."
"What is obviously needed," he said, "is something more than just
verbal recognition of the principle of coexistence and peaceful co-
operation between countries with different social structures. .

University attorneys have filed
a circuit court petition asking con-
demnation of two parcels of priv-
ate property needed for construc-
tion of the new $1,700,000 Student
Activities Building.
Nine lots in the area immediate-
ly'south of the Student Publica-

ples be recognized or proclaimed
but that concrete action be taken

and cementing international peace
and security."
Applauded by Delegates
To the applause of delegates of
59 other countries and hundreds
of San Franciscans, Molotov pledg-
ed the support of the Soviet Union
to the UN in its continuing ef-
forts to cement peace and restore
international trust.
As to step on that road, he urged
the UN to consider calling a world
economic conference to facilitate
the development of international
trade.
Molotov's program e m b r a c e d
many of the major points Moscow
has fought for in vain in the last
10 years. Here are some of the
moves he said should be made:
Major Moves
1. Red China must be seated in
the UN without "further procras-
tination" and the island of Formo-
sa must be a"returned" to the Chi-
nese authorities on the mainland,
that is, the Communists.
2. Settlement of the problem of
atomic weapons, renunciation of
the use of atomic and hydrogen
weapons, and outlawing of these
weapons completely.
3. Inclusion of representatives of
Red China in future discussions on
the problem of reduction of arma-
ments, the prohibition of atomic
weapons and the "removal of the
threat of a new war."
4. Implementation of the Gener-
al Assembly's resolution on the
termination of war propaganda in
all countries..
U.S Might
Have New
Atom Iomb
CHICAGO (W) - Chicago area
atomic scientists speculated yes-
terday that the United States
has a new, more powerful and
cheaper atomic bomb.
Members of the Atomic Scien-
tists of Chicago released a state-
ment to that effect at a luncheon
on the University of Chicago
campus.
"Scientists -have suggested," the
statement said, "that the hydro-
gen bomb detonated in the Paci-
fic in March of 1954 was actually
a new device-a hydrogen-ranium
bomb yielding thousands of times
the radioactivity produced by the
atomic bombs tested in Nevada,
or by a simple hydrogen bomb."
The statement added that a
speech made at the University of
Chicago June 3 by Dr. Willard
F. Libby, member of the Atomic
Energy Commission, was "the
first major speech to give suffi-
cient information supporting this
hypothesis."
The scientists said Libby's
speech indicated that "ordinary,
cheap uranium"' was the major
explosive content of the Pacific
bomb." ,
Stevens Quits Post;
Brucker Appointed
'U' Alumnus, Former Governor
To Be Next Secretary of Defense
WASHINGTON (?)-Robert T. Stevens quit as secretary of the
Army yesterday a year after his celebrated row with Sen. Joseph Mc-
Carthy (R-Wis.)
President Dwight D. Eisenhower named Pentagon general coun-
sel Wilber M. Brucker, University graduate and one time Republican
governor of Michigan, to succeed him.
Stevens, who had said repeatedly he would stay in office as long
as the President wanted him, gave unspecified "compelling personal
considerations" as his reasons for resigning, effective toward the end
of next month.
No Reference to Vow
President Eisenhower, in a letter accepting the resignation "with
deep regret," praised him for "devotion" and told him he had "con-
tributed extensively to the vitals
task of reshaping our military
forces to conform to the conditions
of our time."
Neither man made any reference
to the McCarthy-Army row which
roared to a climax just about this
time last year.
Since then four other figures in
the controversy have left the gov-
ernment - McCarthy aides Roy
M. Cohn and Francis P. Carr; Ar-
my counsel John G. Adams and
Asst. Secretary of Defense H.
Struve Hensel.
In addition Sen. McCarthy was
rebuked by the Senate-though not
on charges growing directly out of
his feud with Stevens and other
Pentagon officials. Sen. McCarthy
declined comment Wednesday on
Stevens' resignation.
Clash With McCarthy
Bruckner, who will be 61 Thurs-
day, has been the Defense Depart-
ment's general counsel-and head
of its security system-since April
1954. He had something of a clash.
with McCarthy during a Senate
investigation of the "Who Pro-
moted Peress?" case earlier this
year.
The White House announced the
Stevens-Bucker shift just before
Eisenhower took off for a swing
through New England. Only Tues-
day presidential press secretary
James C. Hagerty denied any
knowledge that the long-rumored
Stevens resignation was imminent.
Stevens-Brucker. shift just before
of Defense Wilson rode with the
President from the White House
to the airport.
Appoint ment
Called Shock
ByBrucker
WASHINGTON (M) - Former
Michigan Governor Wilber M..
Brucker said yesterday his ap-
pointment as Secretary of the
Army "came as a tremendous sur-
prise" to him,
"I didn't know about it until two
hours ago when I was called to the
White House and invited to take
the post," Brucker said as his se-
lection was announced.
Varied Comment
"It may soundstrange, coming
from the Army's legal counsel, but
I didn't even know Secretary Ste-
vens was resigning."
Elsewhere around Washington,
comment on the appointment var-
ied as between Republicans and
Democrats.
Brucker's f e 11 o w Republicans
heartily endorsed it. But Patrick
V. McNamada, Democratic Sena-
tor, remarked:
"I think it is obviously a politi-
cal appointment and will be rec-
ognized as such, particularly in
Michigan. As such, it won't do the
Army any good but it will do the
Democrats a lot of good, particu-
larly in 1956."
Great Praise
David W. Kendall of Jackson,
Michigan Republican N a t i o n a 1
Committeeman and recently ap-
pointed General Counsel to the
Treasury Department, called the
move "splendid." He added:

Political Survey of Campus Taken'
C.-
By CAROLE MOSKOWITZ
Under the supervision of John
P. White and Prof. Joseph E. Kal-
lenbach of the political science
.department, course 116 conducted
375 student interviews last semes-
ter in connection with its course
of study, "Public Opinion and
Propaganda."
Each of the sixty-five class
members completed seven inter-
views during the semester. The in-
terviewees were selected randomly
from the Student Directory with
the aid of a table of random num-
bers.
Although the questionnaire that
was used was based on one used
by the Survey Research Center in
1952,.there were several original
questions. By not having to com-
pose their own questionnaire, the
class was able to begin work of
interviewing as quickly as pos-
sible. Since the course is only
given one semester, the time ele-
ment was of vital importance.
Eisenhower Preferred
In response to the question of
preferred presidential candidate in
1952, 69% named Dwight D. Ei-
senhower and 28% Adlai Ste-
venson.
When asked who they would
like to see nominated by each
party in 1956, the students over-
whelmingly chose Stevenson and
Eisenhower.
Nearest rival in the Democratic
column only polled 6% and was
Governor G. Mennen Williams,
while Stevenson polled 66%. Es-.
tes Kefauver and Averall Harri-
man were named and received 3%
and 1% respectively.
On the Republican list, Eisen-
hower polled 74% being followed
by Richard Nixon and Earl War-
ren with 1% and Joseph McCar-
thy with 2%.
Best Choice
In another part of the ques-
tionnaire the students were re-
quested to classify themselves as
strong, weak, or independent Re-
sharply from the results gath-
ered by the Survey Research
Center in 1952. The'1952 survey
was a national one while the Po-
litical Science 116 survey was
representative only of the stu-
dents at the University, White ex-
plained. He commented further
by saying that the two different
results were consistent and not
too surprising when you under-
stood what each represented.
Republican Stronghold
The University is located in a
state which is considered a nor-
mal Republican stronghold. Be-
sides, college students as a group
usually come from a higher social-
economic status which tends to
produce more Republicans.
The survey also snowed that
parents' party affiliation had a
strong influence upon the stu-
dent's identification. Literary col-
lege and graduate students in the
social sciences were predominant-
ly Denocratic, while literary col-
lege and graduate students in nat-
ural sciences and humanities were
decidedly Republican. Likewise the
professional schools were over-
whelmingly Republican.
Another question asked the stu-
dent to suppose there was an,
election where his party was run-
ning a candidate that he did not
like and he didn't agree' with.
What. would he do? Seventy-six
per cent said they would probably
vote for the other candidate; 15%
thought they would vote for him
anyway, while 7% believed. they
would not vote for either candi-
date.

Own Party
Instrument
In Ouster,
Reshuffling Try
Proves Failure
ROME (P)-A Rightist minori-
ty in his own Christian Democrat
party forced pro-Western Premier
Mario Scelba to resign yesterday
and plunged Italy into a govern-
mental crisis.
The resignation came just two
months after Scelba made a tr-
umphal tour of the United
States in which he was received
by President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower and hailed by thousands of
Italian-Americans as a stout1
friend of the United States.
It was a bitter day for the little
Sicilian who has become known
as Italy's leading postwar foe of
communism.
Bloc Reshuffled
After long and futile efforts to
avert the crisis by reshuffling his
Center bloc - coalition Cabinet,
Scelba gave up trying to close
rifts in his own Christian Demo.
crat party ranks.
He was obliged to notify Presi-
dent Giovanni Gronchi, member
of the Leftist branch of the
Christian Democrats, that his
Cabinet could not continue in of-
fice. Scelba had opposed the Com-i
munist-supported Gronchi's elec.
tion last April.
Following the usual routine of
Italian government crises, Gron-
chi asked Scelba and his minis-
ters to remain at their posts
while a solution Is sought.
Seeks Conferences
The President then scheduled a
series of conferences with Italian
political leaders preparatory to
asking one of them to try to form
a new government.
Scelba's p osi t i on suddenly
weakened Tuesday night when the
Christian Democrat party direc-
torate declared in an official oiji-
munique that it did not consider
his Cabinet reshuffle an adequate
means of reconstituting the Dem-
ocratic coalition.
In a final Cabinet meeting yes-
terday that lasted three hours,
Scelba and his ministers made
their decision.
Rightists Accused
His vice premier, Social Demo-
crat Giuseppe Saragat, came out
of the long session to make a
heated statement. He accused
Rightist groups of the Christian
Democrats of having made a
deal with Monarchist-Fascists to
open the crisis.
"The difficulty within the
Christian Democrat party," said
Saragat, "is more personal than
political,
Checkmate Attempted
"Small minority groups within
the Christian Democrats, in an at-
tempt to checkmate their own
party, are making use of the to-
talitarian forces of both the Right
and left."
Since the end of the war
there have been about a dozen
Italian government crises. Dir-
ing these, administrative func-
tions continue but no Importan*
new decision is taken.

FROM TELEVISION TO OEDIPUS:
Davy Crockett Becomes Idol of Younger Set
By ERNEST THEODOSSIN
"I don't think there has ever
been anybody who has done quite
what Davy's done," is the way
H o w a r d Baumgartel describes1
America's latest native hero, Davy
Crockett.
Baumgartel, Study Director at
the Survey Research Center,
mused on the popularity of the'
Crockett legend, w h i c h has
reached an unprecedented high
only several months after its ini-
tial television viewing on the Walt
Disney program.
He has had somewhat close con-
tact with the Indian fighter,
watching his own sons, aged three
and seven, and the neighborhood
boys idealize Davy.
Very Traditional
the child wants to love and be
loved.
In addition, the child has very
deep hatreds and desires to de-
stroy certain persons in the
household.
Crockett Is 'Out'
"Davy Crockett gives him an
out," Baumgartel feels. "For ex-
ample, in the Indian tale he can
kill in a very violent and spec-
tacular way, and at the same
time is able to become friends
with the Indians.
"In the language of a child, he
is able to destroy and love and
accept his enemy. This is the ex-
act relationship he has with his
father."
Davy is now capturing young
hearts on the nation's screens in
again after having idealized and
created the myth in their own
minds of a god-like personality.
"When they see him a second
time, a little more realistically,
they - have a consequent feeling
of being deprived of something.
Absolutistic Phase
"The child goes through a very
absolutistic phase and learns only
to be able to deal with the rela-
tive things as he grows older,"
he said. He speculated that the
child had projected into the per-
sonality of Davy Crockett more
than was even on the original
television show."
"Adults encourage and sustain
their own children's interest in
Davy. It is the parents reacting
of their own childhood imnulses
