Horse Explains
Extension Probe
-The -House of Representatives'
investigation of the College ex
tension service is all a “misunder
' standing;” according to Adrian O.
. -Morse,, assistant.to ithg,. president,
- " r ih’Vi3rM^'ci'f c resiSeh.t : .'iftslructibh.
He made his statement yester-
asked what steps the
College is going to take in the
face .of the investigation which
; may hold up the biennial approp- *
rlaitibn from the state.
The College will cooperate to
the/fullest extent with the three
man, board appointed by the
House to investigate the exten
sion service and the Pennsylvania
Soil Conservation Board, Mr.
Morse said.
The controversy which pro
voked the -bill, is not over the
conservation work being under
taken but on the method. Rep.
Clayton -E. Moul, (Dem., York),
’ the-bill’s sponsor, charges that
...the : state’s voluntary program is
' paralleling the federal govern
ment’s regulatory work.
Backers of the bill, Mr. Morse
.. explained, believe the extension
service to be' more important in
soil-erosion than "it really is, Mr.
Morse said. He said the College
is concerned primarily with edu
cational service and not with the
• administrative policy of the Soil
Conservation Board.

The Convention Calendar will be
found on Page Two
The pall of international
events hung heavily yesterday
over the Pennsylvania Student
Government Association confer
ence which goes, into its second
day at 8:30 this morning.
An impassioned plea against
indifference to government and
democracy and against concen
tration of powers made by Penn- .
sylvania’s secretary of internal,
affairs, William S. Livengpod,
Jr., highlighted the first day’s
sessions.
Speaking before a dinner
meeting of the convention at the
University 'Club, Mr. Livengood
warned that the fare to concen
tration of powers in government
“is a one-way ticket and all his
tory has proved that the only
way back has been bloodshed
and sacrifice.”
