"Isn't Much" Two Faculty Groups Act On Oath Bill Faculty action toward the pro posed state loyalty oath: came on two levels yesterday, as the Col lege Advisory • council and. the Penn Stafe chapter of the Amer ican Association of University Professors both announced stands against the measure. The advisory council passed a resolution requesting public hear ings on the oath bill' before action is taken in the state House of Representatives. The council’s ac tion came after the College sen ate turned the oath question over to it on April 5. No Stand Emphasizing the fact that 'the faculty takes no stand on the bill, the council’s resolution requested the hearings to determine what if any constructive purpose will be served by it. A stronger slap against the state measure, which has already passed the Senate, came from the local AAUP. The group unani mously endorsed the national AAUP’s condemnation of loyalty oaths, passed in 1950. The College AAUP also urged public hearings before any House > action. California Oath The national AAUP had taken its stand in .1950 in connection with the loyalty oath imposed on the faculty of the University of California by that school’s boaird of regents. That oath was declared illegal by a state court two weeks ago., A statement this week from the Pennsylvania oath’s sponsor, Sen. Albert R. Pechan, hinted that the faculty section of the measure may never be acted on by the House. The senator noted the pos sibility that it might be deleted from his bill, and said that legal experts are now working on the question. 8 Students, Prof. Attend Mechanical Engineers Confab Eight students and Prof. Ber tram Garcia, honorary chairman of the chapter, are attending the annual regional conference of student branches of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at the University of Pennsyl vania today and tomorrow.

' By BUD FENTON Olmsted’s comment imme diately after the announcement of the final tabulation of votes that “Six vote? isn’t much!” was borne out by past election rec ords. His plurality amounted to one-half of one per cent. Election archives show the State party nominee’s plurality as the smallest since 1945 when only 72 persons voted for the president of the senior class. That seat was won by two votes. Hanek said, “I hope to be able to do as well in the junior class presidency as I did in the Nit tany council, but on a larger scale.” The new junior clhss presi dent had an 11 per cent edge on Haines. Miss Shoemaker had the larg est margin of victory in the senior class election with 24 per cent.. Marino, a varsity boxer, had the biggest lead among the junior class victors, 23 per cent. Some of the hangers-on who waited outside the student gov ernment room for the announce ments .of the new officers were shocked into silence.

Douglas MacArthur, re strained but jut-jawed with defiance, defended his entire Far Eastern strategy in a dramatic speech before Congress today, asserting that he had believed his views were fully shared by “our own joint Chiefs of Staff.” It was a fighting speech, all the wa; “For entertaining these views, all professionally designed to sup port our forces committed to Korea and to bring hostilities to an end with the least possible delay and at a saving of countless American and allied lives, I have been severely criticized in lay circles, principally abroad, despite my understanding that from a military standpoint, the above views have been fully shared by practically every military leader concerned with the Korean, cam paign, including our own. joint Chiefs of Staff.” He said that the issues today are “global” and that Asia ranks in equal importance with Europe. “You cannot appease or otherwise surrender to Communism in Asia without simultaneously under mining our efforts to halt its ad vance in Europe.” Then he said he “made clear his belief that Chinese Commun ist airbases had to be destroyed, that “The friendly Chinese force of some 600,000 men on Formosa” should be used and that the China coast should be blockaded.
