pelia" by Leo Delibes.
Prelude Finished Firs!
The prelude to "Die Meister
singer" was completed six years
before the opera was first per
formed. Ordinarily, an operatic
composer works in just the oppo
site manner, finishing the opera
before starting on t h e prelude.
Originally, "Die Meistersinger"
was to have been a light comic
opera, but Wagner did not follow
his plan and produced some of the
most skillful counterpoint in
opera.
Brahms' second symphony is
Truman Swaps
Verbal Blows
With Senator
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (A')—
President Truman and an inves
tigating senator swapped such
adjectives as asinine and untrue
today in a bitter row over the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion, multi-billion dollar govern
ment lending outfit.
The President assailed as asi
nine a Senate subcommittee re
port alleging that a White House
aide influenced the lending oper
ations of the big agency.
The investigating subcommittee
was headed by Senator Fulbright
. (D-Ark). Mr. Truman, in the
course of his deunciation of its
report at his news conference,
said he hasn't been able to find
out what it was driving at and
hopes to find out from. Fulbright.
He added, however, that Ful
bright left town as soon as he
heard the President wanted to
see him. Replied Fulbright in a •
statement:
"I do not wish to seem disre
spectful to the President but this
statement of the President's is not
true."
"At no time," he added, "did I
have any information the Presi
dent wished to see me." He said
he issued the report last Friday
and remained in Washington un
til late Monday.
Fulbright made the statement
through his office. He is in Mia
mi, Fla., where he went to make
an address.
He added that the President's
apparent belief that the report
was personal "must have been a
figment of his imagination." Mr.
Truman said it apparently was
intended as a reflection on him
self.
"There wa s nothing personal
about it so far as the President
is concerned," the Senator said.
"If he wishes to take it personally
that is his privilege. The report
speaks for itself."
He went on to say the subcom
mittee had "given .the President
every opportunity to clean up the
RFC" before issuing its report.

generally regarded a's the most
cheerful of the four. The second
movement is, to be true, somber
and reminiscent of Bach, but the
first, third and last movements
are as joyous as Brahms ever gets.

Winter Cold Stops '
Old Main's Clock
According to the old saying,
time waits for no one; but at
State College, nothing is done by
conventional means. Maybe that
explains why the clock atop Old
Main stopped and waited—wait
ed for Old Man Winter.
In the wee hours of• the morn
ing the intense cold froze the
oil and mechanisms inside the
clock, stopping it. Thus students
walking up the Mall for their
morning classes were given the
impression that they had been
awakened unduly early.
The difficulty was soon rem
edied by starting the clock by'
hand, stated R. Y. Sigworth, di
rector of the utility department
of the physical plant.
Weather—

In other sections of Pennsyl
vania the weather was just as bad
as it was here. Or worse. In
Pittsburgh, the tem p er a tur e
dropped to 1 degree and in both
Pitt s bur g h and Philadelphia
guests of wind were near 50 miles
per hour. Seventeen inches of
snow f ell in Curwensville and
the temperature there dropped to
1 below.
A blizzard brought a blackout
to parts of Somerset and Cambria
counties as it knocked out high
voltage transmission lines, and
somewhere on the Pennsylvania
Turnpike, a Greyhound bus was
blown off the highway.
Heavy icing on state highways
caused several additional acci
dents, including a Greyhound bus
colilsion in which four persons
were killed.

without a break. These dances,
with varying origins, were popu
lar during the reign of Charles
II of England. Here, Taylor has
arranged them for the modern or
chestra.
The ballet, Coppelia, is one of
the first to be based on the theme
of a doll coming to life. The tale
concerns a lad who has fallen in
love with a mechanical doll. The
music from this suite is graceful,
tender and charming to those who
like daintiness and delicacy in
their music.
Fabien Sevitzky, music director
and conductor of the Indianapolis
Symphony orchestra, believes in
young people. The average age of
his orchestra, as a result, is far
below the level of any compara
ble organization in the country.
During his early conducting
years, Sevitzky founded his fam
ous Young Musicians orchestra
and Vocal Ensembles also com
posed of young people.
Young People's Music
Much of Sevitzky's music is of
and for young people. He had
made it a definite rule that at
each concert he conducts, one
American work will be included.
He believes that the music of the
future is here, issuing from the
pens of today's composers.
Senate Group
Near Accord
On Draft Law
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (4))
Secretary of Defense Marshall
and the Senate preparedness sub
committee appeared near agree
ment tonight upon), the controver
sial issue of drafting 18-year-olds
for military training and service.
Marshall spent two and a half
h ours in closed-door discussion
with the senate group going over
a number of proposed compro
mises on the universal military
service and training bill.
Chairman Lyndon Johnson (D-
Tex) indicated near agreement
upon the "basic points in con
troversy."
Stressing that all decisions were
tentative, chairman Johnson said
Secretary Marshall had been
questioned on these modifications
of the original
,UMST:
1. Authority to draft 18 year
olds one year below the pre
sent minimum of 19 for induction
but limiting this ;at first to
those 18 years old nearest 19, such
as boys 18 years and 9 months
old. Originally Secretary Marshall
opposed any restrictions.
2. Limiting actual service to
two years, if the men take no mil
itary leave in that period. The
Pentagon had asked that present
required service be extended
from 21 to 27 months. Each ser
vice man is entitled to one month
leave for each year of service.
3. Requiring the armed services
by law to lower their standards
and take in more men in the 19
through 25 year draft pool who
have been rejected or classed as
4-F.
4. Requiring service by me n
from 19 through 25 years who are
husbands but have no children
or previous military service.
5. Some compromise that
would permit national guard
units to continue to enlist some
18 year olds, who would be tem
porarily deferred from the draft.
6. An agreement that 75,000 of
the 18 year olds would be de
ferred after f our months basic
training, in order to study to be
doctors, scientists and technicians,
they would not be required to go
to classes in uniform, but might
wear some emblem or insignia.

Doll Becomes Alive
Cooks, Ldoks Aid
Marital Choice
Rural folk and city folk have
some different ideas when it
comes to choosing a marriage
partner.
Dr. William Smith Jr., profes
sor of family relationshiPs at. the
College, reported recently that
country boys consider being a
good cook and housekeeper an
important qualification for the
girl they choose. Their city cous
ins, however, look for the con
genial type of girl, the one who
meets the approval of the boy's
friends.
The survey, which was made
Among members of senior exten
sion clubs in Pennsylvania, polled
1020 young people, who repre
sented various groups.
The young people polled also
said they thought that girls are
more practical than men when it
comes to marriage in that' they
place a 'stronger emphasis on fi
nancial prospects, education, in
dustry, and family approval,.
The most desirable characteris
tics, however, were generally the
same for all groups, with good
morale, love and affection, and
dependability considered most
important.

Explosion Rips
Mine Bifilding
ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. B—(VP)
—A blast ripped through
.the six
story mineral building of the
sprawling Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing company's plant
today. Eleven men, possibly more,
were killed. Another 50 or more
were injured, several critically.
John Schultz, one workman
who was injured slightly, said, "I
thought an atom bomb had hit."
The explosion' caught more
than 60 men in and aroi,md the
building, shoitly after the 8 a.m.
(CST) shift came on duty. •
Debris was piled so deep it
may be days before it is known
whether additional bodies are in
the wreckage.
Officials of the company and
the St. Paul fire department said
they had not been able tq pin,
down the cause of the blast. They
advanced the theory that one or
more of several gas-fired furnaces
in the basement of the six-story
brick building had exploded.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1951
Cleric Asks
Brotherhood
For Peace
By DAVE COLTON
"Christian brotherhood is a bet
ter weapon for world peace than
the atomic bomb," Kiyoshi Tan
imoto, Christian minister from
Japan said in his "Meaning of the
Hiroshima Catastrophe" speech at
St. Paul's Methodist Church last
night.
Tanimoto was graduated from
Emory university in Atlanta, Ga.;
and was in Hiroshima on August
6, 1945, when the atomic bomb
struck the city. He has been des
cribed in John Hersey's .book
Hiroshima, and is the originator
of the Hiroshima Peace Center,
a social 'and educational memorial
to the dead.
He said America is a great na
tion and must lead the world
to peace. Despite the 170,000 cas
ualties in the initial blast, Tani
moto said a majority of the
Japanese people do not bear any
resentment toward the United
States. Most of them have the
opinion the bombing eouldn't be
helped since the Japanese started
the war and bombed Pearl Har
bor, he said.
Christians Pray
Many of the Christian survivors
fell on their knees, and asked
God for reconciliation and prayed
that a catastrophe such as this
might never occur again, he said.
Some of the Christian leaders are
optimistic for the new Hiroshima
which is being constructed, and
hope that the terrible bombing
is a lesson to the world, he
stated.
The Methodist minister said the
atom bomb - destroys in three
methods; first, the explosion; sec
ond, the intense heat caused by
the- explosion; and third, the ra
diation. The explosion destroyed
80 per cent of the houses in the
city of 400,000 people and burned
the other 20 per cent, he said.
Radiation Effects
Many people died as late as
six months after the explosion
from the effects of radiation,
Tanimoto said. Others were badly
disfigured, burned. and lost all
their hair, he related. Right after
the bomb landed, piles of human
ashes from people, who had been
burned lined the streets, he said.
Embargo Lifted
On Eastern Mail
The embargo placed on certain
classes of mail was lifted yester
day, said a local post office spokes
man.
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wiscon
sin, and Michigan are still not
open to the lower class mails, he
said. Mail service west of the Mis
sissippi is also closed.
The lifting of the embargo in
the eastern section 'of the United
States eliminates the restrictions
on mail listed in yesterday's Col
legian.
