    Wallace Advocates Free Palestine;
Says Holy Land Is British Pawn
“Palestine is just a paw n on the British chess board,” said Henry
Wail ace, former Secretary of Agriculture, of Commerce, and Vice
President of the United States, as he spoke to a capacity audience m
Schwab Auditorium last nigh't. ,
“Why shouldn’t. Palestine be a free nation?” he queried. “The
Jews would run it and the Arabs would prosper. What stands in the
way is the desir e of the American Navy for the oil of Saudi-Arabia
.and the desire of the British to keep the Arabs on their side as they
try to hem the Russians in.
Arab vs. Jew ,
“The Arabs did' little to 'defeat Germany but maintained a high
nuisance value,” he continued. “The Jews did much to defeat Ger
many. Simple justice demands a free Palestine no matter what the
oil needs cf the American Navy may be. Th e creation of Palestine
should be accompanied by loans to build irrigation and power plants
not only in. Palestine but throughout the Arab world.
“Why should American representatives play ball with high-class
grafters when within a few years scientific research will enable us to
drive our ships with atomic energy instead of oil?”
World 1 Federation
Wallace, who resigned from his
post os- Secretary of Commerce
because of a speech on interna
tional affairs which he delivered
•in New York, maintained his
stand that “World federation
without Russia will simply be
world federation ago ins t Russia.
“The serious danger spots,” he
said, “are Germany, the Balkans,
the Near East and China. Ob
viously the'.Anglo-Americans can
not tolerate Russian expansion
into Turkey, but equally ob
viously, Russia has just claims to
free access to the Mediterranean.
German Poison .
“Germany is the most danger
ous single spot for poisoning
Anglo - American - Russian rela
tions,” he said. “Only when the
Germans are fully at work again
producing .an abundance of
peacetime goods will the danger
be over.-
“Too many ex-Nazis,” he in
sisted, “still have deep in their
souls the Gotterdammerung com
plex, wanting to . see the whole
world go up in one final burst
of. flame.”
, The former Vice President be
lieves we are holding onto and
arming the conquered Japanese
islahdsrirr such a ;way as\ tof-be -*r
threat against the mainland of
Asia. "We'have been backing the
Chinese dictatorship with our
marines because we feared Rus
sian influence in China,” he 93id.
Doesn't. Want Communism
In conclusion, Wallace said, I
d 0 not want communism in the
United States and I do not want
■war with Russia. There is just
one sure- preventative of commu
nism in the United States and
that is to make such modifica
tions in our free enterprise sys
tem as to produce an ever-in
creasing flow of abundance well
distriibuted among a fully-em
ployed papulation without the
boom of inflation, the burst of
deflation,:, br. the fear of war.
■ “With' .Anglo-Saxon tones in
charge of.'the foreign policy, in
both England and the United
States,” Wallace declared, “we
may fear the certainty of.depres
sion 'and the probability of war.
The chief questions are when and
where: That is why the young
people of the world must organ
ize themselves .rapidly arid ef
ficiently.:

College Suggests
Rhodes Scholars
, The .'.College. may have' two
Yanks at Oxford, Dean ''Wamock
stated yesterady. William P.
Jlindman Jr., and Douglas Sher
win have been recommended by
the Dean of Men as candidates in
the December elections for Rhodes
Scholarships.
“But,” Dean Warnook added,
“we are) in the toughest competi
tive district in the country. Some
of the men from Princeton end
Pennsylvania University who
have won scholarships were such
well rounded , individuals, that
they were almost impossible to
beat”.
■ “We have .'been submitting ap
plications,’’ h e said, “for the past
Iwenty-five years, and have yet to
secure a place. The reason for this
lies partly ini the apathy with
which our students view the pros
pect of going to Oxford (Harvard,
Yale, Columbia —yes. Oxford —
no), amn partly in the previous
high Greek and Latin require
ments,'-which. today, no longer
exist.”
Dean Wamock, himself, was
once a Rhodes Scholarship candi
date, but lost out to a Chicago
University student, who could
translate Greek-to-English, and
English back to Greek better
than he could.
-William P; Hindman Jr. earned
his B.A. degree at the College in
1941, and his B.S. in Industrial
Engineering a yeter. later. During
this time he maintained a 2.85
average. He is now working on
a masters in history, at Bucknell.
Mr. Hindman wants to study Eng
lish constitutional and legal his
tory at Oxford.
Douglas Sherwin is ® graduate
from the School of Chemistry and.
Physics. As an undergraduate he
had “a creditable record in schol
-arship, and an outstanding one in
athletics” according to Dean War
nock. Sherwin pls.yed on the .base
ball team for two years.

VA Gives Veterans
Vocational Advice
Many X-Gl’s on campus are un
aware of the vocational ' guidance
service that the Veterans’ • Ad
ministration is furnishing to all
veterans at the College without
cost.
Conferences are held with vet
erans and aptitude tests are, given,
in a variety of fields, including
engineering, mechanics, science,
clerical • work, music and art.
These tests are all conducted m
the Veterans Administration
building on Pollock Road across
from Schwab Auditorium.
The veterans who take advant
age of this service have the satis
faction of knowing that they are
learning the vocation in which
they are most likely to succeed
and from which they will de
rive the greatest happiness.
The advisers are members of
the College’s psychology depart
ment who confer with veterans
and study their abilities, person
alities, and emotional dispositions.
A conference lasts about four
hours and when it’s over, the vet
eran has a well-defined notion
• about what field he is best fitted
for.

Campus Conserves
Coal, Joins Nation
Dimming Lights
College Fuel Supply
Threatened By Strike
The campus took on a war- •
time atmosphere yesterday as the
College joined the nation in con
serving coal.
Old Main tower was dimmed,
out, just as it was during the
war, and again last May, when
another coal strike threatened
the College fuel supply.
Corridors and stairways were
dimly lighted.
Temperatures in offices, lab
oratories, and class rooms were
just' a few degrees below the
usual temperatures.
Request Cooperation
College officials asked stu
dents, staff, and faculty to:
1. Shut off radiators when
possible, and all office radiators
at 4:45 p. m.
2. Keep buildings warmer by
keeping windows closed and. re
fraining from operating exhaust
or fresh air supply fans.
3. Reduce the electrical load
in all wi.-.ys possible. Faculty and
research personnel can reduce the
load the greatest.
“Conservation of electrical
power is necessary, 'but it is the
reduction in the amount of heat
used that will effect .the greatest
savings in the College coal pile,”
Robert Y. Sigworth, supervisor of
utilities, explained. He estimated
,thi£;t 50 to.Ss_ tons of coal per week,
could be Saved if faculty and
■students cooperate in the conser
vation of po’wer and heat.
Coal on Hand
College officials also pointed
out that a fair supply of coal is
on hand, but that December and
January are the greatest coal
consuming months. If the strike
is prolonged and deliveries to the
College power plant are cur
tailed, more stringent measures
will have to be taken, they
warned.
Officers Explain
NROTC Function
The NROTC. program at the
college 'benefits the men enrolled,
in it and the Navy, agreed three
naval officers stationed in the
unit at the College.
. Commander' Charles 'M. Hol
combe, executive officer, said,
“The NROTC program is of ma
jor importance to the Navy since
a great majority of the regular
navy officers will he obtained
from this source.” Commander
Holcombe reported' to the College
this fall after ten years at sea.
He served on the Savannah in the
•Med'iteranean campa'gn, andi
supported the Eighth Army in the
advance toward Cassino.
“The 'Hallaway Bill offers men
an excellent opportunity to get a
college education,” said Captain
Edward l Codk, instructor in naval
ordnance an r i gunnery. “Under
the IHalloway 'Bill, the govern
ment pays? the NROTC men s<soo
a year plus tuition and books.”
Captain Coolc, who was promot
ed to Captain when he reported
to the College, is a graduate of
Stanford University and the Of
ficers Candidate School at Quan
f ico, Va.
According to Lt'. Commander
Thomas C. Burly, assistant pro
fessor c.f naval science, “NROTC
