Boro Council Upholds
All-Night Parking Ban
In spite of the numerous re
quests from students, townspeo
ple and fraternities, State Col
lege Boro Council voted Mon
day to uphold the ordinance pro
hibiting all-night parking on the
boro streets and referred the
matter to the Borough Planning
Commission.
A second ordinance under dis
cussion, the rule prohibiting min
ors from entering licensed liquor
places unless accompanied by
parents or guardians, was vetoed
by Burgess Albert E. Yougel.
The parking ordinance, passed
in 1938, was ignored by the State
College police until recently
when 506 parking tickets were is
sued shortly after the Christmas
holidays.
Interpretation
According to the ordinance, it
is illegal to park on the borough
streets from 2 to 6 a.m. Under
a liberal interpretation of the
law, car owners were formerly
given tickets only when their
cars impeded the work of the
snow plow, but strictly interpre
ted, any parking between those
hours would constitute a viola
tion. _ _

Analyst Denies
Of Possible War With Russia

Russia in the immediate future'
or in the next few years, said
Quincy Howe, CBS news analyst,
in his address before the Com
munity Forum in Schwab Audi
torium last night.
Mr. Howe told the audience
that the real danger that exists
is in the thinking that there must
be one kind of world, either a
) Russian type or an American one.
No Policy Change

softening of policy towards Rus

"FOR A BETTER PENN STATE"
STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1949
January Class to Hear
Gen. William H. Harrison
* •
ITV' Head Speaks
Maj. Gen. William H. Harrison,
president of International Tele
phone and Telegraph Co., New
York, will deliver the address at
Commencement Exercises on
Jan. 31, James Milholland, acting
president of the College, an
nounced today.
A native of Brooklyn, General
Harrison began his career as a
repairman for the New York
Telephone Company in 1909. In
1914, he joined the Western El
ectric Co., serving as an engineer
until 1918.
From 1918 to 1933, General
Harrison served in various en
gineering posts with the Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraph
Company and in 1933 was elect
ed vice-president of Operations
of the Bell Telephone Company
of Pennsylvania and the Diamond
State Telephone Co. He returned
to AT&T as assistant vice presi
dent in 1937, and a year later
was elected vice president.
In 1940, General Harrison was
appointed to the National Defense
Advisory Commission and the
next year became director of pro
duction in the Office of Produc
tion Management, the second
highest post in that agency. In
1942 he was commissioned a col
onel in the Army and a short
time later promoted to brigadier
general, serving as director of
procurement in the Services of
Supply.
Returning to civilian life, he
again was elected vice-president
of AT&T in charge of operations
and engineering. Last year he
was named to his present posi
tion.
will continue to enforce the law
as long as it remains on the books
in its present state.
Council President Edward Kel
ler said in a reply to a citizen's
request that the ordinance be re
pealed, "What you do with your
car is your problem. All that
concerns the Council is that it is
kept off the streets overnight."
Fire Hazard
A letter from the Sigma Al
pha Epsilon fraternity stating
that there are 15 to 18 cars in
their driveway every night creat
ing a fire hazard was read, but
no action will be taken until the
planning commission presents
its report February 7.
The Burgess stated in his veto
letter that the law couldn't be
effectively enforced and that the
job being done by the Police is
sufficient without such an ordin
ance.
The minor's ordinance, passed
by a vote of four-to-three, re
quires a vote of five-to-two to
enact it over the veto.
The Council postponed action
on the veto until the next regu
lar meeting in February.

more likely there will be a recog
nition by both countries of their
own capacities and power!'
"We here in the United States
are misled by the excitement of
spy and war scares. We have the
misinformed, and the Russians
have the Cominform," he said.
More U.S. Aid
Mr. Howe emphasized the need
for more American aid to Europe
and the continuation of the Ber
lin airlift. The cost of the airlift
is small in comparison to other
military expenditures, and we
should remain in Berlin until the
Russians begin to use force. We
should not, however, go to war
over Bedin, he mid.
