Oaths Serve
No Purpose
-Cushman
By LEN KOLASINSKI
There is no evidence that loy
alty oaths serve any useful pur
pose, Dr. Robert E.. Cushman,
head of the department of gov
ernment at ' Cornell university,
said last night.
.'He spoke before about 200 per
sons at the third Liberal Arts
lecture.
Cushman said further that
stubborn people beyond reproach
will not sign the oaths, and sub
versives are not foolish enough
to sign. '
The oaths, _ he said, are serious
threats to liberty and security.
He cited the overzealous attempts
by state and local governments to
pass loyalty laws similar to that
passed by the federal government.
300 Statutes
There are 300 state statutes
dealing with subversive activities,
Cushman said.
In. checking on the civil liber
ties balance up to 1951, Cushman
said the nation has made decided
gains. He said that freedom of
the press has been protected by
judicial decisions, religious liber
ty is assured by the first amend
ment to the Constitution, and the
Southern negro is making steady
gains to rise from a second-class
citizenship.
Losses Pose Threat
Cushman said, however, the
Josses pose a- threat to freedom.
Policies and procedures in com
bating the rise of Communiim
have not been wisely chosen.
There are four methods used
here, Cushman said.
. ,1. Legislative invest! gat i n g
committees.
- ■2. Loyalty programs for gov
ernment. employees.
. 3. Loyalty oath requirements in
institutions outside the govern
ment.
4. Legislation such as the Mc-
Carran act.
Conviction Invalid
Th e conviction of loyalty
boards that contact with Commu
nists afflicts a person with that
doctrine is invalid, Cushman said.
He pointed out that Republicans
and Democrats associate without
fear of mutual contamination.
Tlie theory of guilt by associa
tion, therefore, has been carried
out to its extreme, he said.
It is injustice, Cushman said, to
the honest and patriotic liberal
to say he is a Communist because
of past affiliations.

and Thomas Jurchak, State, will
be queried by- the panel. '
Senior class presidential nomi
nees Dave Olmstead, State, and
John Stoudt, Lion, will be asked
for their views on class problems.
Michael Hanek, State, and Joseph
Haines, Lion, will be asked ques
tions pertinent to the Junior class.
Both are running for the presi
dency of the class.
The two parties were preparing
to bring their campaigns to a halt
today with last minute, plans being
made to get out the vote for the
election tomorrow and Thursday.
Worth On WMAJ
Worth,- State candidate, will
deliver a radio address tonight
over WMAJ. at 10:15. The talk
will be a rebuttal to the Lion
party declaration made, in this
edition of the Collegian.
Murray Goldman, State party
chairman, said that Worth .will
refute what he called “exagger
ated statements,” made by Milton
Bernstein, chairman of the Lion
party. ’ ,
Chairman of the election com
mittee Edwin Barnitz. said yester
day that cards saying, “I voted—
did you?.”,'. yrill be distributed to
the students. Barnitz; said that the
committee would try to get a
majority- of the students to the
polls for the first time in the his
tory of campus politics.
Voting Tomorrow

open : tomorrow and 'Thursday
from 8:30 a.m. t0'5:30 p.m. con
tinuously. Matriculation cards

vote for the All-College offices.
Only sixth, and seventh semester
students may vote for the senior

junior Class candidates;
Budget Woes
Assail Youth
The youth of today have their
budget problems, Dr. Ruth R.
Honey, associate professor of fami
ly economics and housing, learned
from her students.
Many children get money as
gifts, strict allowances, pay. for
family chores, and unlimited
charge accounts. Others earn mon
ey outside the home.
. Students agreed that the .child
who earned his spending money
also learned the true value.of it.
They also decided that children
should not be paid- for family
chores since all the family should
share in contributing to family
life.
An allowance, the students felt,
aided a child to realize the value
of money. It should begin at an
early age, possibly with a sum of
10 or 15 cents, and should be in
creased as need, arises. The. allow
ance should be stopped only in
case, of a family emergency and
not as a disciplinary measure.

Congress And'-Nation
Ready For MacArthiir
WASHINGTON, April 16 (TP) —Congress whipped through for
mal arrangements today for Gen. Douglas MacArthur to tell his
story to a joint session—and by radio and television to the nation—
shortly after 12:30 p.m., (EST), Thursday.
And Senate Republicans, voicing delight at the prospect of
hearing MacArthur, called unanimously for an all-out congressional
investigation of the Truman ad
ministration’s foreign and mili
tary policies.
GOP objections to the Truman
program mounted to a roar of
protest with the President’s dis
missal of MacArthur last week,
and the deposed general’s flight
to Washington (he’s due here
early Thursday) fanned the
flames of controversy to a new
peak,
A kind of “MacArthur fever”
swept the capital today. It
brought these developments:
I—The House agreed unani
mously to a joint meeting with
the Senate to hear the general on
Thursday. Senate agreement to
move into the House chamber for
the speech is just another for
mality. It will be voted on to
morrow.
2—Thirty-three Senate Repub
licans agreed at a closed meeting
to back the proposed investiga
tion of Truman policies all over
the world “in the light of Gener
al MacArthur’s dismissal.” Back
ers of the movement said they
had a two-House inquiry in mind.
3—Mr. Truman assigned his
military aide, Maj. Gen. Harry
H. Vaughan,, to meet MacArthur
at National airport. It looked as
if the President would not see

Set West
Dorm Room
Deadline
By GEORGE GLAZER
Thursday was set as the dead
line by the West dorm council
for the return of forms distributed
to West dorm residents requesting
room reservations in the area for
next year.
The forms are part of the cam
paign being put on by the council
to allocate rooms in the area on a
semester seniority basis. A $lO
deposit will be due early in May
if the plan is approved by the
administration.
Blair Green
Blair Green, vice-president of
the council, said that the money
would be refunded if sufficient
notice is given to the dean of
men’s office in advance.
The council took no action on
a proposal to ask the Association
of Independent Men’s board of
governor’s to allocate, money from
the social budget to the various
halls for affairs of their own, to
replace the AIM all-College
affairs.
A request by the Women’s Stu
dent Government association for
the use of the main lounge on
May 12 for the Mother’s day dance
was approved by the council. The
council also authorized its wel
fare committee to meet jointly
with a committee from the Nit
tany-Pollock council to discuss
guest .meal tickets.

Test Blanks
At Penn State
Draft Director Lewis B. Hee
shey has frozen all inductions of
college students until class stand
ings and aptitude test grades can
be determined.
Hershey also said that the
House of Representatives ap
proval of a bill to let local boards
determine college deferments
does not affect present plans to
give tests.
“Speaking generally, no student
will be denied permission to take
the test because of his'draft board
status. He will not be ordered in
to service until the results of his
test are known or his standing in
his class is determined!” Hershey
said.
The general noted that many
students are now attending school
under induction postponement
which end with the academic
year, and that neither test scores
nor class rankings will be avail
able for several weeks after the
schools close.
Dates For Tests
The tests will be given May 26,
June 16, and June 30'. Under the
present plans, which would be
voided if the House-approved
measure became law, deferments
will be granted automatically by
class standings and by test scores.
About 1500 students received
applications for draft defer
ment aptitude tests in the base
ment of Willard hall yesterday.
Selective Service officials es
timated that 5000 students are
eligible to take the tests.
The selective service team
from Harrisburg will be on
duty again from 10 o'clock this
morning until 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon. All students plan
ning to take the deferment
tests must file applications..
The top half of the present
freshipan class, two-thirds of the
sophomores, and three-quarters of
the juniors would be deferred for
another year of school work. In
addition, any student scoring 70
per cent or above in the aptitude
tests would be deferred.
No provision has yet been made

Klisanin Faces
No Charges
A coroner’s jury found Satur
day that Albert Bolduc, 42, of
Woodsdale trailer camp, was kill
ed March 31 by a car driven by
William Klisanin, a student at the
College.
District Attorney Edwin Will
ard told a Collegian reporter
following the inquest that no
charges would be preferred
against Klisanin, who is a candi
date for All-College secretary
treasurer.
Powers of a coroner’s jury ex
tend only to determining cause of
death.
Willard said that no evidence
was brought out by any of the
witnesses to indicate that Klis
anin was driving recklessly. K
was only under that condition
that he could have been indicted,
Willard said.
Willard also said that, while
Klisanin had been driving with
out a license, this fact had no
bearing on the case. He said that
there has been a state Supreme
Court decision that if an operator
of a car involved in an accident
had no license, it was not to be
considered as a factor in the case.
