WASHINGTON—Fo r the third
time, the United States has asked
Russia to consider returning Tri

den before the crucial Italian
elections. The note to Russi a was
written in softer words than usual

cism toward Russia. The United
States also offered to consider
any suggestions which Russia
might make for revising the Ital
ian Peace Treaty to return Tri
este to the Italians.

A petition calling for the nomi
nation of Dwight D. Eisenhower
for the presidency on the Demo
cratic ticket will be circulated
next week by Students for Eisen
hower. according to Spencer
Scheckter and Corbin Kidder, co
chairmen of the group.
Plans were discussed at a meet
ing Thursday for bringing speak
ers to future meetings, and the
following statement to head the
petition was drawn up.
"1. The present crisis require 3
administrative leadership of the
highest order.
"2. No other candidate of any
party has shown so well his abil
ity to coordinate the efforts of na
tions toward a common goal.
"3. Eisenhower alone among the
candidates possesses the pe.•sonal
attributes necessary to inspire the
respect of the nations of the
world.
"4. The fact that he has been
sought after 1 y leaders in both
the Democratic and Republican
Parties shows that he has the per
sonality required to reconcile
Political differences and conflict
ing' national interests.
"5. Roy Roberts. president of
the Kansas City Star and friend
of Eisenhower, has said. 'lf tjr
the first time in history there was
an honest draft that Caine from
the people without conniving and
intrigue, I believe the General
would accept.'
"6. American liberals. confused
and, disunited. see in Mr. Eisen
hower a man who can revive the
progressive ideals of the Roose
velt era.
"7. Although a military man,
Eisenhower is less of a militarist
than many Wall Street civilians
now influential in our govern
ment.
"8. For these reasons American
progressives 11 endorse the can
ciidacv of Dveiht Eisenhower for
the presides on the Democratic
ticket and st the support of

Peaceful Policy
CORE has refused to use the
ejection of a student from Smith's
barbershop as the spark for a
Militant campaign, according to a
statement of Dr. Arthur H. Reede,
chairman of the Council on Ra
cial -Equality.
At the same time the Amer
ican Veteran's Committee is look
ing intothe matter with an eye
toward legal action.
Dr. Reede stated "A few unin
formed individuals have suggested
that the episode which occurred
in a local barbershop on Thurs
day was part of a deliberate pol
icy of CORE. Nothing could be
further Lou' the truth. CORE
has consistently opposed any form
cf violence and has acted only in
a peaceful, constructive fashion
in promoting the cause of racial
enuality.
"CORE urges those who believe
in its principles not to be drawn
into any militant controversy or
Pattern of action. Such incidents
often teopardize the long range
aim of correcting anti-social atti
tudes.
"As a matter of fact. the chair
man of CORE together with the
Assistant Dean of Men, exerted
considerable effort in restraining
a group of students who wished
to use the incident as an occasion
for militant student action."

Police to Prosecute
Minors in Taprooms
Minors will be prosecuted if
found in establishments dispens
ing alcoholoc beverages according
to Daniel D. DeMarino, assistant
to the dean of men. The following
letter has been sent to the Daily
Collegian to inform those under
21 years of age of this state law
and to prevent possible violations.
"The 1947 law governing tap
rooms requires licensees when in
doubt about any person's age to
obtain a signed statement of age,
and to file such a card alphabetic
ally to be at the disposal of all
enforcement officers—local and
state. Any minor signing a card
misrepresenting his or her age is
subject to $lOO fine or 30 days in
jail. State College police will visit
taprooms in the borough frequent
ly and keep examining all signed
cards for age misrepresentation by
minors.

Students in Industry
Summer Project
Offers Jobs
One project of the United Chris
tian Youth Movement is to obtain
summer work opportunities for
college students.
The "Students in Industry"
project, under which students get
their own jobs, live together co
operatively, and seek together the
answers to questions they encoun
ter on the job, gives them an op
portunity to learn industrial prob
lems first hand by working on the
production line.
This daily experience plus a
vital program of discussions with
labor, management, and commu
nity leaders gives new meaning
to such issues as wages and hours,
union security. bargaining rights. l
and others discussed in the news
papers. A trained director is in
charge of each group.
Earnings are usually enough to
cover expenses and allow each
member to save $lOO to $2OO for
the summer. The keynote of a
summer spent in a student ,n in
dustry project is experience.
There are five student in indus
try projects available under the
National Intercollegiate Christian
Council. The dates of work for
these projects are approximately
June 19 to August 29. Positions
are available in Chicago. Ill.;
Minn'hapolis and St. Paul, Minn.;
Hartford, Conn.; Columbus, Ohio;
Los Angeles, Cal.; New York, Phil
adelphia; Brantford, Ontario; and
Montreal, Quebec.
Further information about any
of these projects may be obtained
at the Christian Association Office,
304 Old Main.
Ad Contest
To keep in line with rising

Other prizes in the quest
for the identity of the "thing"
in this second ad cbntest are a
set of golf clubs from the Sears,
Roebuck & Co. and a lounging

Dr. Fuoss Explains
Electric Theories
Highlights of the parallel de
velopment of precise electrochem
ical hypotheses along with im
provements in electrical measur
ing devices during the middle of
the nineteenth century were out
lined in the fourth Priestley lec
ture by Dr. Raymond M. Fuoss.
Sterling Professor of Chemistry at
Yale University.
Van't Hoff's study of the be
havior of dilute solutions and the
analogy between them and gases
paved the way for Arrhenius to
develop his ion dissociation the
crY, which was the first mathe
matical theory in the field of
electrochemistry.
Two advantages of mathemat
ical statements of theories ac
cording to Dr. Fuoss are the pre
cision and non-ambiguity of ex
pression and the possibility pre
sented for mental extrapolation.
The value of the dissociation
theory to electrochemistry is coin
rarable to that of the periodic
table to inorganic chemistry or of
ti e tetravalence of carbon to or
ganic chemistry. the lecturer con
cluded.

Hostetter Honored
On Fortieth Year
Samuel K. Hostetter's 44) years
of service to the College were
commemorated by an informal
luncheon at the Nittany Lion Inn,
yesterday.
The luncheon was a surprise
arranged by members of the pres
ident's staff and Mr. Hostetter's
own staff. James Milholland, act
ing president of the College. also
joined in honoring the administra
tion veteran.
Mr. Hostetter first went to work
for the College on February Z4l.
1808. He became purchasing agent
in 1910 and inaugurated the pres
ent centralized purchasing sys
tem. Later he became manager of
the dormitories and dining com
mons.
In 1935 he was appointed assist
ant to the president in charge of
business and finance. The Board
of Trustees elected him treasurer
of the corporation in 1937. He
holds both these positions now.
Mr. Hostetter has probably the
longest record of service of any
administrative officer of the Coi
lege. according to Wilmer J. Ken
worthy, executive Secretary to the
president.
Patrol Foils
Balloon Prank
"Don't take that thing inside!
It's full of poison gas!" the cul
prits yelled back over their shoul
ders to the campus patrolman, as
they dashed off into the shadows
back of Old Main at 2:40 a.m. yes
terday.
Patrolman Keen, hastening to
the flagpole to investigat e unusual
noises and excessive clanging of
the rope halyard, found a clumsy
gray weather observation balloon
at least eight feet long. This,
fled with a light gas, was fast
ened to a lower rope hook to be
hoisted.
The cumbersome balloon
dragged behind the patrolman as
he took it toward the buildutg.
Catching on the chain fence near
Old Main. it was torn and de.
tlated. The weather department,
when contacted as to possble gas
eous content of the balloon, stated
that the gas may have been highly
inflammable, but not likely ex
tremely poisonous.
Only clue as to the identity of
the students is Captain Mark's
theory. "If we knew who lost an
eight-foot weather balloon, we
I might find out who put it up."
This latest of flagpole pranks is
comparable to the 1040 episode of
hoistin.ff .-1 German swastika and
cutting the rope that would en
able it to be brought down. Some
what earlier the usual fraternity
Pledge assignment of obtaining an
autographed co-ed unmentionable
was elaborated by hoisting said
unmentionable to the top of the
flagpole. This was foiled whenl
campus patrol observed the unique
flag at daylight.
