yesterday, had no comment on the
request by Gov. John S. Fine that
the state’s four largest state-aided
colleges help find a solution to
Pennsylvania’s financial prob
lems, according to the Associated
Press.
. The governor sent telegrams
over the weekend to the heads of
Penn State, University of Penn
sylvania, Temple University, and
University of Pittsburgh, asking
them to set up a joint study of
the revenue and tax problems.
It was understood that Presi
dent Eisenhower had wired a re

To Debate Tonight
Top debating talent willbe put to the best tonight as Oxford
University's’ William Rees-Mogg and Richard Taveme join Penn
State’s David Lewis and Clair George in a mixed debate on
the merits of Winston Churchill’s return as prime minister.
The 16th annua 1 international debate is scheduled for
7:30 p.m. in 121 Sparks. The topic will be Resolved: That the return
of Mr. Churchill as prime minister would be highly regrettable.
The teams will be mixed, with

David Lewis take- the negative.
The non-decision debate, .spon
sored by .Nevr York’s 'lnstitute. for

dent of Temple, said he wired the
governor that he will appoint
two professors to take part in
the tax study on the assumption
that the other colleges will join
in the move, the AP reported.
Fine told College officials that
Dr. Edward B. Logan, his budget
secretary, and Otto F. Me§sner,
his revenue secretary, will pro
vide “such pertinent data as you
may require for this study.”
The situation which Fine says
“very directly and seriously af
fects some universities and col
leges of the'state as well as the
hospitals, schools and other state
services,” has arisen out of the
Senate snarl, over the governor’s
proposed one-half of one per cent
income tax.
1 It was. pointed out that Penn
State' alone- is $4,000,000 behind
in its state aid receipts and has
turned to bank loans to maintain
operations.
Just how the joint study would
be conducted or who would han
dle what pairt of the revenue-ex
penditure problems was not stated
by Fine, the AP said.
