TODAY'S WEATHER: CLOUDY, SNOW FLURRIES, AND COLD. VOL. 51 No. 51 Late AP News Courtesy WMAJ Attlee To Meet Truman, Discuss Use Of A-Bomb LONDON —Prime Minister Cle ment Attlee yesterday told a cheering House of Commons that he will fly to the United States— probably this weekend—to con sult with President Truman .on possible use of the atomic bomb in Korea. Attlee’s announcement followed the disclosure earlier yesterday that Gen. Douglas MacArthur could use all means at his disposal to conduct the UN fight in Korea —including the A-bomb if neces sary. The President’s words gave the definite impression that Mac- Arthur had the power to author ize use of the bomb and led to Attlee’s remarks before Commons. Attlee said that the British government considers a decision to use the atomic bomb of such grave importance that it could not be taken by the UN without the full consent of those nations now involved in Korea. Attlee’s remarks led to a clarifi cation of Truman’s remarks by the White House. MacArthur has not been authorized to use the A bomb so far and that “only the president can authorize the use of the atomic bomb and no such authorization has been given,” the White House said. Truman Conference WASHINGTON-—Speaking like a man who had come to the end of his patience, President Truman •yesterday told his weekly news conference that the United States has made every possible effort to avoid a third world war. " The President again spoke with an angry voice in replying to European charges that General MacArthur was not handling the Korean war properly. Continuing in sharp tones, the President called . attention to recent re marks by Republican senators McCarthy, Bricker, and Wherry charging the administration with trying to get rid of General Mac- Arthur. There is not a word of truth in that, the President told news men.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER.!, 1950 Scorched Lab fire to spread. Two men working in the lab oratory at the time discovered the blaze and turned in an alarm at 5:48 a.m. Dr. B. D. Saksen, vis iting associate professor of phys ics, and Alex Smith, technician in physics, tried to fight the blaze, but it required the efforts of three trucks from the Alcfca Fire com pany to finally extinguish the fire at 7 a.m. Heavy smoke billowed from the laboratory and spread throughout the building, hamper ing the firemen in fighting the blaze. Captain Philip Mark, of the campus patrol, said that 'most of the damage had been done by smoke and water. In addition to the telescope making equipment destroyed in the laboratory, the adjoinin'g planetarium and the office of Dr. Henry L. Yeagley, associate pro fessor of physics, were damaged by smoke. Firemen said the actual blaze was confined to the southeast cor ner of the room, where wooden shelves and a table were de stroyed, but the heat from the fire caused metal and glass in other parts of the room to" melt. They also said that the walls of the room were “extremely hot.” The laboratory has been used by Yeagley for the past 15 years in making telescopes. Proje'cts of his students and work of his own were ruined by the blaze.

Trabue, dean of the School of Education, joined other educators yesterday in ask ing the Federal Communications commission to reserve s'ome tele vision channels for educational purposes. Representing the American As sociation of Colleges for Teacher Education, Dean Trabue said that they are convinced that TV can be made a powerful tool in education and that they do not want to be prevented from hav ing opportunities to experiment with television by the immediate allocation of all desirable broad casting channels to commercial use. Controlled Experimentation “In order to carry on the con trolled experimentation necessary to learn just when and how to use television effectively in teaching, educational institutions must have their own TV stations,” Dean Trabue said. He explained that with educa tional TV stations it would be possible to experiment and evalu ate the educational results of different versions of the same program. They could also test the educational effects of in structional programs designed for use over commercial TV net works. Dean Trabue said that the pres ent procedures used to entertain the TV public are not those which will be most effective. in teach ing by television.

' The tentative time table of classes to be offered during the 1951 summer sessions is avail able today at the scheduling of fice, the summer sessions office in 102 Burrowes building, and in the offices of the deans of the various schools. directories On Sale A limited amount of stu dent directories are now on sale in the basement of Willard hall. PRICE FIVE CENTS cents per semester, or $1.50 per year from each undergraduate student. Enlarging the assessment to $l.lO per semester should pay for increasing costs of publica tion and permit publication of an eight-page paper daily, Dean Gladfelter, editor, said in an nouncing the proposal. Through enlargement of the newspaper, it. will be possible ,to cover more of the news on cam pus and to bring the Collegian closer to its student readers, Glad felter said. Adequate coverage of all news on campus is impossible without increasing the size of the Collegian, he said. To Cover Campus News An enlarged paper will be nec essary to cover campus news ade quately, Gladfelter said, noting that one of the major criticisms against Collegian in the past has been that space has not been available to print news of numer ous minor organizations on cam pus.

Dr. Lorch, who claimed the refusal was because of his anti discrimination activities at the New York Stuyvesant Town housing project, made the state ment in a letter answering ques tions directed to him by the Col legian. The College, in a statement last spring, said he was dis missed because “he does not have the personal qualifications which the College desires in those who are to become permanent mem bers of its faculty.” The state ment said his Stuyvesant Town activities had nothing to do with refusal to renew his contract. “I have never given up the fight for a satisfactory conclusion to this issue,” Dr. Lorch said. “I expect the American Assoc iation of University Professors to maintain an active interest in connection with my dismissal from Penn State and to take fur ther positive action,” he added. The mathematics professor also ahd been discharged earlier from City College of New York but no reason for dismissal was giv en. The New York state com missioner of education early last month dismissed his appeal for reinstatement and declared the law did not require that a rea son be given for his dismissal. Dr. Lorch now is associate pro fessor ■ of- -mathematics • and de partment chairman at Fisk uni versity, Nashville, Tenn., which has an inter-racial faculty. . He said the university was set up “irrespective of color” following the Civil War, but that state laws requiring segregation have forced it to have an all-Negro student body.
