told' the union delegates that the

of yours." ,

vaded country.
"If an army of 900,000 Chinese
Communist aggressors is permit
ted to remain in Northern Korea,
where none at all• -existed - 18
months ago, we believe that fact
will be interpreted on both sides
of the Iron Curtain as a Commu

DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Blasts
'Bias'
.Sawyer was not immediately
available in Washington for com
ment.
Orderly Shutdown Is Policy
Murray read a letter from Saw
yer, which said that while work
ers generally had taken care dur
ing the recent three-day steel
strike to preserve mill equipment
and other facilities, that this "was
not universal."
Murray - said it is the fixed
policy of the steelworkers union
in the event of a strike to close
down mills and furnaces in an
orderly. manner to avoid damage.
He said that any damage occur
ring during the recent strike was
due to failure of the steel com
panies to make, arrangements
with the union for proper shut
down precautions.
• "The implication here," Mur
ray said; waiving Sawyer's letter,
"is designed to show - that the
steelworkers will not protect
property."
Murray Asks Negotiations
The union leader said that Saw
yer knew this and, rather than
write the union, the 'government
should instruct steel companies
to make necessary shutdown prep
arations with the union when a
walkout occurs.
Murray, at the same time, again
called on the steel industry to
begin promptly new labor negoti
ations on the basis of the govern
ment's Wage Stabilization Board's
26-cent hourly package • pay in
crease finding.
, About;3oo of the 2500 delegates
to the union's sixth biennial con
vention loudly protested passage
of the constitutional amendment
to raise ; dues from $2 to $3 a
month, and the initiation fee from
$3 to $5. But the majority, egged
or by, Murray, outshouted and
outvoted them.

Democrats Reject
Kefauver Support
State
Early
PHILADELPHIA, May 16 (JP)--A large group of Pennsylvania's
Deinocratic national convention delegates, pledged in advance to
support the state's popular choice for president, , said almost una
nimously today they do not feel bound to back Sen. Estes Kefauver
of Tennessee.
Kefauver was far ahead in the
state's April 22 presidential pref
erence vote, carrying every con
gressional district.
The pledged delegates said in
an Associated Press poll-that they
do not feel they are bound by
the preference vote because no
names were. on the ballot and
Kefauver's total of some 88,000
votes was only a small fraction
of the total vote.
The newest AP poll showed
that the state's Democratic dele=
gation, which will have 70 votes,
remains almost solidly a party
organizatiOn group, ready and
willing to back almost any can
didate:
As the preference at this time,
delegates who will have a total of
seven votes said they favor Ke,
fauver; 10 1 /2 votes favor Gov. Ad
lai Stevenson of Illinois, and 2 1 / 2
votes lean to W. Averell Harri
man; two support Chief Justice
Fr e d Vinson of the Supreme
Court, one still contends he will
back President Truman, and the
remaining, 47 decline to state any
choke, or they have none now.
It appeared probable that the

Spring Raids
Go on; Miami,
Columbia Hit
NEW YORK, May 16 (AP)—
More than 1,000 prankish Colum
bia University students staged a
panty raid on Barnard College
early today and the girls got
blamed for egging them on.
A similar raid was staged at
the University of Miami and riot
ing broke out at all-male Harvard
University.
Male college . raiders have
sought out co-ed lingerie prev
iously at the Universities of Flori
da, Nebraska, lowa, Purdue, Den
ver, Illinois, Penn State, and Ot
terbein College in Ohio.
About 300 Barnard College
girls waved undies from their
windows and tossed water-filled
bags as Columbia males fought
police and special guards.
Girls Encourage Raids
Barnard's dean, Millicent C.
Mclntosh, -took her girls to task
later for their "unexpectedly im
mature behavior."
She added, "The Columbia
boys could not be dispersed by
the police because of the con
tinued encouragement giv e n
them by the' girl students in the
dormitories."
Barnard College is the girls'
branch of Columbia and its dor
mitories are on Columbia's cam
pus.
Columbia began its own inves
tigation of the raid which lasted
more than two hours. One po
liceman was hurt and bne male
student was given a disorderly
conduct summons.
• Like Goldfish Fad
The epidemic of panty raids
has reminded many people of the
goldfish swallowing fa d that
swept - college campuses years
ago.
At the University of Miami
early today, about 3000 men. stu
dents raided the Dickinson Dor
mitories on the main .campus.
Police and firemen used fire hoses
to quell the demonstrators •dur
ing the two-hour melee.
Indiana Raid Foiled
In Cambridge, Mass., last
night- some 1000 Harvard stu
dents got intc the riot act but not
over lingerie. A peaceful rally—
a campaign to put a comic strip
character in the White House—
erupted into a fight when- a rival
group presented another comic
strip character for the presi
dency.
Meanwhile, at Bloomington,
Ind., male students at Indiana
University were invited to dip
into a barrel full of lingerie. Sev
eral hundred students were foiled
in. an attempted raid on a wom
en's dormitory there last Mon
day night.
Today, a college official said, a
barrel loaded with discarded un
dergarmeints would be available
—free to all takers.
may not be clarified until the
first caucus of the group. This
may not be until shortly before
the convention opens in Chicago
July 21. An official of the Demo
cratic State Committee said today
that there is no plan at present
to call a caucus.
This lineup of the Pennsylvania
delegates placed Harriman in the
lead in ,the national Associated
Press poll, with a total of 92 con
vention delegates pledged or oth-,
erwise supporting him, to 8831 for
Kefauver.

Marines Win Joint
Chief of Staff Seat
WASHINGTON, May 16 (IP)—The House voted 'overwhelmingly
today for a permanently strong U.S. Marine Corps with a voice of its
own, for the first time, in the nation's highest military council.
Brushing aside a protest that it would create a "private army"
to be used- anywhere on the globe at the President's whim, the
chamber passed 253 to 32 a mea
sure to
'-1. Give the Leathernecks equal
representation w i t h the Army,
Navy and Air Force on the U.S.
Joint Chiefs of Staff. At present
they are represented by the Navy.
2. Set a permanent minimum
strength of 220,000 enlisted men
plus officers, with at least three
full-strength combat divisions and
three air' wings.
The legislation provides a limit
of 400,000 men, plus officers. Of
ficers usually run about 10 per
cent of enlisted personnel, which
would bring the minimum up to
242,000 and th e maximum to
440,000.
At present, the Marines have
about 237,00 'officers and men,
with next year's projected total
343.000.
The bill passed over strong ob
jections from Pentagon top brass
and charges by Rep. Teague (D-
Tex.), a much wounded infantry
veteran of World War 11, that it
would "set up a private army for
the President to use anywhere in
:he world."
The measure now goes back to
the Senate which had previously
voted for a ceiling of 400,000 en
listed men, but had fixed no min
imum.
The legislation marks the first
time Congress has acted to set a
minimum strength on any of the
armed forces. There have been
maximum; fixed by law, but no
minimums.
French Shoot
At U.S. Consul
TUNIS, Tunisia, May 16 (AP)
—French troops, apparently sus
pecting evasion of the curfew,
shot up the motor cars of U. S.
Clnsul General John D. Jerne
gan and a member of. the French
governor general's staff in an
cient Carthage early today.
No one• was injured. But two
sub-machinegun bullets pierced
Jernegan's machine as he drove
with his wife and Mr. and Mrs.
Louis Horwitz o f Cleveland,
Ohio, toward his home at 1 a.m.
and several smacked into the car
of the Frenchman, William de
Peyster, in the same area 90 min
utes later.
The consul general, who is
leaving this tense French protec
torate Monday for home leave
and reassignment, said Resident
General Jean de Hauteclocque
had expressed his regrets and or
dered troops in the area not to be
so nervous on the trigger.
Though a curfew applies in
Tunis and its suburbs, including
Carthage, from 8:30 p.m. to 5:30
a.m., officials and diplomats have
passes which permit them to
move about at will. It was with
such a pass that Jernegan was on
the road.

Joy Gives
Reds Silent
Treatment
MUNSAN, Saturday, May 17 (JP)
—Allied armistice delegates today
were prepared to give Communist
negotiators another dose of the
silent treatment that infuriated
the No. 1 Red delegate Friday.
The rage of Gen. Nam 11, head
of the Communist delegation, rose
Friday as Vice Adm. C. Turner
Joy sat silent and refused to be
drawn into debate on the prison
er exchange issue—the last one
holding up an armistice agree
ment.
Nam Il returned again to the
letter Brig. Gen. Charles F. Col ! .
son wrote to Red prisoners hold
ing Brig. Gen. Francis T. Dodd on
Koje Island last week.
He charged the let ter was
"proof' that Red prisoners had
been forcibly screened—that is,
forced by their captors to say
they did not want to return to
Communist soil.
Joy in his "final" offer early
this month reiterated that no
prisoner would be forced to go
home against his will and that
only 70,000 out of 170,000 wanted
to return to Red rule.
After Nam Il had run on for 28
minutes, Joy observed: "We are
here to attempt to gain an armis
tice and not to engage in an *ex
change of propaganda • and re
crimination."
Joy again suggested a recess un
til the Communists were ready to
make a new offer. Once more
Nam Il virtually dared the Allies
to break off the talks.
"Unless .you formally declare
the termination of these armistice
negotiations," he said, "you have
no reason to object to the normal
holding of conferences."
