Brown returned recently from a trip through Europe, where he visited France, England, Ger many, Austria, Switzerland, Italy ,Spain, Portugal, Yugosla via and Israel. He reports that if America wants results from its aid to Europe, it will not find it in expressions of gratitude, but "in the concrete fact that it stopped the western tide of Com munism. And after you've seen what Communist control does to a people, how it makes people outright slaves, stopping that tide is something to be grateful for," he adds.

STATE COLLEGE, PA:, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 1, •1951 Eisenhower Hits State Loyalty Bill Deferments Not Insured By Tests High scholastic rankings will not bring automatic draft defer ments, Col. Henry M. Gross, state selective service director, an nounced yesterday. The local draft boards will have final say on any deferments regardless of class standing or scores in the national aptitude tests, Gross said. Gross also announced the scheduling of an additional test July 12, to supplement the three already scheduled—May 26, June 16, and June 30. The new date is a Thursday; . the others are all Saturdays, when some students could not take the tests for reli gious reasons. - "If the student is in the upper half, it might be a good idea to confirm that standing from this test," Gross said. "Or, if he has rated low scholastically, he might do better in this examination." Gross also noted that a high score in the test might be help ful if the student decides to apply for Officer Candidate School when he eventually is drafted. Gross' statement modified an order from National Selective Service Director Lewis B. Her shey, granting automatic defer ment to students ranking high in the aptitude test or in class stand ing. New Staffs In Operation New editorial and business staffs took over the operation of the Daily Collegian yesterday. The staffs will continue oper ation of the publication until May 1, 1952.. The news and editorial content of the Collegian will be under the direction of Marvin Krasnansky, editor. Edward Shanken, business manager, will conduct the busi ness and advertising side of the newspaper. Staff promotions for the corn ing year were made early in April by Dean Gladfelter, retir ing editor, and Owen• Landon, re tiring business manager.

The new staff took - overoperation of the newspaper yesterday. President Milton S. Eisenhower told a General Assembly hearing yesterday that the proposed state loyalty oath "de parts from sound American principles." The President was one of four college heads who spoke against the oath at the Harrisburg meeting. The others were Lions To Play Benefit Game The first Blue-White intra squad football game will be play ed Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. on the State College High School field. Th e Nittany Lion football squad will split up into two teams to play a benefit game sponsored by the alumni. Tickets will be sold at the game. Prices are 50 cents for students, $1 for all others. Receipts will go into a scholarship fund. Len Shepard and Art Betts, co-captains for the Lions in the coming football season will play on opposite sides and act as cap tains. Engle expects to announce the entire rosters of the two squads by Wednesday. The game will wind, up the five week spring training sched ule of the State gridders. Be cause new grass is being planted on New Beaver Field, the game had to be scheduled for the high school field. If the game turns out a suc cess, it will probably become an annual affair. Coach, Team Lauded For Trip To Iran Assistant Secretary of State George C. McGhee yesterday praised Coach Bill Jeffrey and the Penn State soccer team for the favorable impression .they created while on their good will tour of Iran. Coach Jeffrey and Manager Neil See received individual letters from McGhee compli menting the team on its vic troy at Shiraz, the close scores in Isfahan and Tehran, and for the manner in which the team discharged its "responsi bilities." Secretary McGhee noted the unusually heavy responsibili ties that the team had. "From all sides," wrote the Secretary, "I have had compliments re garding the way you discharg ed these responsibilities." It 0 PRICE FIVE CENTS Harold Stassen, president of the 1 University of Pennsylvania; Ru fus Fitzgerald, president of the University of Pittsburgh; and Millard E. Gladfelter, provost of Temple University. The bill was defeated by S en. Albert R. Pechan (R- Armstrong), the bill's sponsor; Joseph S. McCracken, state American Legion commander, and Louis G. Feldmann, Veterans of Foreign Wars commander. Administrators Should Judge President Eisenhower said that top administrators should be the ones to rule on staff loyalty. Even if Pennsylvania were to pass a compulsory oath bill, how ever, the President said it should not be the present measure. "I very much prefer to trust the heads of the various state agencies and the trustees and ad ministrators of our schools and universities to eliminate subver sives from their ranks, if any are actually' there, but I do wish to express a preference for the fed eral law and procedure if _the Pennsylvania Legislature should decide that some legislation is de -I)sirable." he said. Federal Laws Better He pointed to federal 10-alty oath statutes as better and fairer than the Pechan bill. The Pechan measure, he warned, would give one man—the attorney general— power to brand any organization subversive. "If one official can designate an unscrupulous organization as subversive, presumably he could also so designate any scientific (continued on page eight) Request For Bellefonte Bus Is Rejected A letter to the Pollock Council 'has ended any thought of the council's attempting to get hourly bus service between State College and Bellefonte. The letter, written by George A. Korman, manager of the Grey hound Post House, told the coun cil that the reason he hadn't an swered the letter sooner was be cause his secretary thought the request was a practical joke. Pitt's Letter In reply to a letter written by Henry Pitt of the Pollock Coun cil, Mr. Korman said, "I cannot understand why you bring the grievances of 'cooped up' students' to our attention. `Ve are only a bus company, not the Student Union advisors," he said. In his letter, Pitt listed several reasons for the bus service. The manager replied that Bellefonte is. not a bigger community. -"Only the number of liquor es tablishments surpass those which we have here," he said. He added that the College does not consid er this proper recreation for the minors enrolled. He told. Pitt that the two mov ies in Bellefonte. with its bowling alley, will do little to alleviate the crowded conditions in State College. Charles A. Denny . of the Ed wards Motor Company told Pitt that there are seven trips daily between the two towns. Early in April the council had commissioned Pitt to look into the matter for them. The proposal to look into the hourly bus ser vice was put beiore the council by Pitt.
