Manchester gave a 'statement
to the Centre Daily Times yester
day disclaiming responsibility for
the advertisement. In answering
Reede's statement on Saturday
concerning him, Manchester said
"Mr: Reede's attack on my aca
demic standings is entirely /with
out foundation. I am not at pres
ent on probationary status nor
are my grades poor . . ."
- Defends Reede
Luther Harshbarger, executive
secretary of the Penn State
State Christian association, came
to the defense of Reede in a pre
pared statement.
Harshbarger said that he had
talked with Harry Seamans and
Charles Hogarth, officials of the
PSCA at the time Reede alleged
ly was engaged in contact with
"subversive" groups at the C. 21-
lege.
Harshbarger said that Reede
joined the PSCA's peace mobili
zation committee at the invita
tion of Hogarth. The American
Student union participated in one
meeting of this committee and
Reede took part to "counteract
any possible influence of Com
munism on students," he said.
Harshbarger stated that
"Reede's continued participation
in such student organizaticins, in
cluding his surveillance of the
American Youth Congress, was
motivated by his desire to keep
them free of Communist influ
ence."
Hits Reede
Reed's opponent, Van Zandt,_ in
winding up his campaign, brought
out again statements appearing
in the Daily Collegian in 1936 and
said that Reede "objected to an
adequate national defense."
He also -charged that Reede's
attacks on him, and those of
Duane Ramsey, Reede's campaign
manager, were "libelous."
Referring to the statement
signed by 85 staff members of the
College faculty, Van Zandt said
that they represented only four
per cent of the staff, and that he
"recognized• on the list Progres
sive party members who support
ed Henry Wallace in 1948."
In Harrisburg on Friday, the
Democratic state committee said
that it would submit figures on
Republican campaign expendi
tures in Centre, Blair and Clear

Committees,
Hears Report
A national report was given,
and pr ojects were discussed
Thursday night when the Nation
al Student association held its
regular meeting.
William Klisanin, chairman of
the Penn State chapter of the
NSA, gave a report on the third
National Student association con
gress which was held late last
summer at the . University of
Michigan. The congress discussed
loyalty oaths, academic freedom,
a plan to reduce the student cost
of living, and discrimination in
colleges.
Since the NSA was formed in
1946, much work was done on or
ganization within the group. Al
though the congress received un
favorable publicity from the press
because of its liberal views, much
was accomplished, and the con
gress got more done in nine days
than had been done in 12 days
the year before, Klisanin said.
Committees were appointed at
the meeting, and a list of Chair
men and projects was made avail
able. They are: faculty and course
rating, Murray Goldman, chair
man; international affairs, Mary
Lo u Larpenteur, chairman; en
c ampm en t program, Claire
George, chairman; absentee vot
ing, David Fitzcharles, chairman;
transportation, Edward Shanken,
chairman; publicity, Eloise Mar
shall, Mildred Martin, and Martha
Schwing, co-chairmen.

to a Senate investigating commit
tee.
Experts look to the race be
tween Gov. James H. Duff, Re
publican candidate for senator
from Pennsylvania, and Francis
J. Myers, the incumbent, as a
possible indication as to just how
strong a position the Republicans
are in. Myers is the Democratic
whip in the Senate.
The Social Responsibility com
mittee of the PSCA will sponsor
a bell-ringing campaign today to
get voters to the polls.
Acting in a non-partisan ca
pacity, the committee plans to
make a house-to-house canvass
of State College, urging the resi
dents to go to the polls and vote.

enthusiastically and energetically

Greatest Guarantee
The President said that "if the
United Nations fails, our last 'best
hope on earth' will have disap
•peared."
Repeating the point he made
here in his inaugural address, the
President said a strong United
Nations was the greatest guaran
tee of peace today.
He called on other free nations,
especially those in Europe and
the Far East, to join in the pro
gram of power he asked for be
cause "Our enemies seem to re
spect only power, for the time
being, and thus it is with power
that we must now contain them."
Central Power
"For the present," the Presi
dent said, "the United States must
carry the bulk of the load, but it
is neither right nor desirable that
the nation be the sole, or even
primary, supplier of power."
The President said he hoped
that eventually this central pow
er, including atomic power, will
be supplemented by disarmament
by all member states.
It was the President's conten
tion that the modern world strug
gle is for an intellectual emnire
rather than a geographical em
pire.
