Margiotti said today he will defend Jerry Nu zum, Pittsburgh Steeler football player, on a murder charge and predicted Nuzum “won’t even be indicted.” The professional football play er was arrested here last week and charged with killing Ovida (Cric ket) Coogler.

The hearing was originally scheduled for April 18. Attorney W. A. Sutherland, who is now representing Nuzum, asked for the postponement. YHE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Draft- (Continued from page one!) the Senate and House, the hot test question was that of lower ing the draft age to take boys of 18 or 18%. ■ Biggest Change The biggest change the House made in the Senate bili was to drop original administration plans for universal military training (UMT). both the House and Senate would have to consider training > plans submitted by a civilian commission and enact an entirely new law before UMT could go into effect. One of the last pre-passage ac tions of the House was adoption of an amendment requiring that draft boards call all available men between the ages of 19 and 26 (the present draft age range) before drafting any youths under 19. The Senate has a similar pro vision. Other Major Provisions Other major provisions of the House bill: No drafted man may be sent into a combat area until after he has been in service six months. None may be sent to land bases outside the United States during his first four months. Physical and mental standards for inductions would be lowered in an effort to draft some of the 608,000 men now catalogued as 4-F. . The existing deferment of mar ried men whose only dependents are their wives, is eliminated. More liberal deferment for high school students is permitted so that they may finish their four years. ~ Arf Grad Students Meet At Luncheon Thirty-four graduate students of the division of Art Education at the College met at a luncheon, of the National Art Education association convention in New York, March 27-31.

He is now free to put it into effect. Children and Youth ' Reds Can't Help Write T reaty - U.S. WASHINGTON, April 13 (/P) — The U.S. responded with a firm “no” today to a proposal by Brit ain to let Red China help write the Japanese peace treaty. Rebuffed at the same time was a British suggestion that the trea ty contain a clause returning For mosa to China. Since Britain recognizes the Chinese Commu nist regime and the U.S. does not this was regarded by American officials as meaning handing the Nationalist island stronghold over to the Communists. The State department announc ed the American stand shortly before Ambassador John Foster Dulles left by plane at 4:35 p.m., on a 10-day trip to Tokyo. Presi dent Truman ordered the trip to speed the Japanese . settlement. Dulles, Republican foreign advis or who is the American spokes man in the treaty negotiations, disclosed in advance he hoped to draw further on the “wise coun sel” of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, despite Mr. Truman’s removal of the Far East commander. Forty-Four States, Every Pa.

Johnny Sheffield MONDAY and TUESDAY "TRIPOLI" in Technicolor JOHN PAYNE MAUREEN O'HARA Also Selected Short Subjects State Calls Appearance 'Fitting Honor' For General WASHINGTON, April 13—(ff)—President Truman gave a signal today which assures Gen. Douglas MacArthur a chance to defend hi s Asian policies before Congress. Amid mounting demands from Republicans and' some Democrats for a Senate-House session to hear the deposed commander, Mr. Truman issued a statement saying: -“I regard it as fitting that Con gress bestow this honor on one of our great military men.” This stand by Mr. Truman quickly cleared the way—except for the formalities for MacAr thur to come before a joint ses sion possibly next Thursday. Will Talk The general has let it be known through his advisors that he will be happy to address Congress if invited. But his appearance will be tfye first time that an ousted commander —at odds with his commander-in-chief has been given such an invitation. TOKYO, Saturday, April 14 (JP) General MacArthur plans to arrive in the United Stales late Tuesday to lay be fore the people his case in the tumultous policy debate over Asia. An aide's statement indicated MacArthur is in a fighting mood to challenge President Truman, who abruptly fired the famous , five-star general Wednesday. With this one question settled, House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. took to the radio to' blast the administration’s Far East policies and the President’s firing of MacArthur. He said the general’s dismissal shows “appeasement of Com munism in - Asia is again the watchword” of the Truman ad ministration. And he accused Mr. Truman and his advisors of “flirting with the dangerous idea that you can make a deal with the Communists, when everybody knows that no one has ever made a successful peace with the Com munists.” Martin said MacArthur was fired because he tried to tell the American people that Asia is the key to the entire world situation. And the GOP leader added that “we will never be able to dictate peace on our terms unless we maintain strength in Asia.” The famed ' soldier was re moved because he openly advo cated bombing China and Man- PAGE THREE churia and attacking the Chinese Red mainland with Chinese Na tionalist forces—in opposition to administration policy. Join Republicans Mr., Truman spoke out today after Democratic leaders began lining up behind Republicans in a series of moves designed to bring the general before Con gress. First the Senate Armed Ser vices committee voted unani mously to invite MacArthur to testify in a broad-scale inquiry into the Asia dispute. Then the House Democratic leadership —obviously with Mr. Truman’s approval—a greed to support the GOP resolution ask ing MacArthur to speak before a joint session. The Senate’s Dem ocratic leaders agreed to vote next Tuesday on the resolution. Kill Critical Language The Republican leaders made it easier for the Democrats to go along with them by knocking out language in the resolution which was critical of the admin istration.
