Harriman
Hits GOP
Candidates
W. Averell Harriman hi t at
both major Republican candidates
yesterday arid bi d for labor's
support in his own campaign for
the Democratic presidential nom
ination.
At a Boston news conference,
Harriman had these things to.say
about the leading GOP conten-
Wers:
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower—
"No experience on the domestic
side .. . He has embraced the
policy of the Republican party
which has' blocked progress in
this country."
Foreign Policy Experience
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio—
" Taft and I disagree on practically
every issue, domestic and inter
national."
The 60-year-old f or ei g n aid
chief also pictured himself as the
only candidate with more exper
ience in international affairs than
Eisenhower, and he told news
men: "We can't have a progres
sive foreign policy and a look
back policy at home."
'MeanWhile, Eisenhower said he
does not aspire to the presidency
and would accept the nomination
only out of a sense of duty. He
made the comment during a fare
well visit to the Hague, in Hol
land.
Eisenhower Leads Race

tion jUst seven weeks away, The
Associated . Press tabulation
shows Taft leading Eisenhower
375 to 337 in the nation wide race
for delegates to the national con
clave.- Nomination requires 604
delegate votes.
In the nation's capital, Taft ap
peared certain to pick up the six
District of Columbia votes. The

ings as delegates to the district
wide June 5 convention at which
the national delegates will be
elected for the area.

hospital attendants defied orders

get them, and the fighting erup
ted. The infantrymen were armed,
but they fired no shots in the
battle of clubs and fists.

ly. About half of the 85 prisoners
injured received only minor htirts,
the Army said. It did not say
how the one prisoner died. Pos
sibly he was bayoneted. z
'For two and. one-half hours the
fighting swirled across the com
pound. The soldiers used riot tac
tics in rounding up the prisoners.
The , Army gave few details,
and correspondents were not per
mitted to enter the camp, known
as Compound 10. It was not known
whether the prisoners were North
Koreans. Chinese or both.
Senate Passes

Of McGra nery
WASHINGTON, May 20 (EP)—

Grariery of Philadelphia to be at
torney general.

McGrath out of the Cabinet in a
follow-up to McGrath's firing of
Newbold Morris as • government
corruption investigator., '
Senator Ferguson (R-Mich.) and
Senator Watkins (R.-Utah) led
the opposition to McGranery's
'nomination. They assailed him as
a man of "most questionable" • in
tegrity, ability and veracity."

of the Senate judiciary commit
tee and other Democrats spoke out
in high praise of McGranery, a
former member of the House.

tration" as attorney general.

,(4 1 ')—A Japa
nese Foreign Office spokesman
today described the position of
the Russian mission staff, as."very
delicate" and no longer has a legal
right to •be here.
. The old Russian Embassy itself
'is in a virtual .state of siege. The
gates are closed. -

mittee of the House of Council
lors Senate that the Russian mis
sion virtually has ceased to enjoy
diplomatic privileges. •

Repatriation
Stalls Korea
Truce Talks
MUNSAN, Korea, Wednesday,
May 21 (gyp) Allied negotiators
Tuesday told the Communists vol
untary repatriation of prisoners
was based on United Nations
principles from which there could
be no retreat. ,
The statement was met by a
storm of new Red charges which
Vice - Adm: C. Turner Joy, chief
UN delegate, termed the most
"vicious, degrading propaganda"
since/ the truce talks began 10
months ago.
More storm clouds gathered .as
the negotiators - headed back for
Panmunjom and a meeting at 11
a.m.
New disorders in Allied prisoner
of war camps were almost certain
to be seized upon by the Com
munists as fresh ammunition for
the daily charges that Red pris
oners are given "barbarous" treat
meat.
Gen. Nam 11, the North Korean
who heads the Communist ar
mistice team, called the UN team
liars at Tuesday's bitter 62-min
uate session. Joy replied'that Nam
Il's statements were "fraudulent
and hypocritical."
Nam declared that recent Com
munist-led outbreaks in the Koje
Island prisoner of w al. com
pounds "have killed and buried
the myth that our captured per
sonnel refuse to be repatriated."
A recent allied screening of
prisoners and civilian internees
showed only 70,000 of 170,000
were willing to go to the Reds ofl
their. own free will.
The Communists want all their
soldiers back regardless. This is
the issue that blocks the signing
of a Korean armistice.

Thousands of Men
Raid Women's Units
In Nationwide Riots
Spring madness swept another batch of college campuses Mon
day night, turning thousands of feverish young men into -baying,
brawling panty raiders.
Nearly a dozen schools witnessed riots or near-riots as the males
stormed co-ed dormitories in search of sexy souvenirs. It was the
biggest outbreak yet in the snow
balling, weeks-old fad.
It was good clean fun in some
spots. But not in Columbia, Mo.,
where the National Guard was
called out to cope with rioting
University of Missouri students.
And not at Colorado University
where one youth broke his hip.
The panty raids, weirdest col
legiate fad since the goldfish
swallowing 19305, have been
.blame ci by psychiatrists on
everything from sex to simple
mindedness.
Some 3000 Missouri students
went wild on their own campus
and then raided two nearby girls'
schools, Stephens and Christian
Colleges.
Damage in Thousands
Panties were reported stripped
from the person of at _least one
girl. Police said a group of girl
students trapped a - boy on a fire
escape and stripped him of his
clothes, returning his pants only
after he begged for mercy.
Columbia's acting police chief,
J. L. Parks, said damage might
be in the thousands of dollars.
At Boulder, Colo., Robert Ba
ko, 20, of Des Moines, lowa,
broke his hip as 1500 Colorado •
men stormed girls' sorority
houses and dormitories.

Pittsburgh Told
`No TV Station
For 5 Years'
PITTSBURGH, May 20 (JP)—A
member of the Federal Commun
ications Commission told Pitts
burghers today it will be four or
five years before the city gets
another television station.
Robert Franklin Jones, who ad
dressed the Pittsburgh Radio and
Television. Club and. the - Pitts
burgh 'Advertising Club,' • 'was - a
dissenter from the ,FCC majority
which gave this city only one
new commercial station in the
present very high frequency band.
Commissioner Jones declared:
"It seems to me that the com
mission is doing its best to stran
gle television."
Jones said• the FCC decided to
space TV stations 250 - miles apart:
"That is the reason why Pitts
burgh will get only one more
commercial station in the VHF
band," he stated. "The other chan
nels are being used up in cities
within a distance of 250 miles of
your town."
Jones suggested instead that an
tenna height and power input be
regulated to prevent interference
and that stations be spaced only
150 miles apart.
"This would place two and
seven-tenths times as - many sta
tions on the air," Jones said.

men. Police arrested ten students
and kept most of them out of dor
mitory row. But co-eds egged
them on and a few tossed out
panties.
Co-eds Spark Raid
State police were called to aid
local cops at Burlington, Vt., when
600 University of Vermont men
roamed the campus. Rocks and
tear gas filled the air and at least
two students were injured.
Co-eds sparked a fairly goo1:1-
natured demons tration at
Northwestern Un iv er s it y by
serenading in front of men's
dormitories. Some 1000 males
responded with a panty raid on
the girls' residences.
Pickings were scarce at the Uni
versity of Minnesota where 500
students stormed three women's
dormitories. The haul was four
bras, four pair of pants, one silk
slip.
Co-eds drenched University of
Connecticut males with buckets of
water i as 3000 invaded sorority
quadrangle with a lust for lace.

More than 1000-panty-intrigued
University of Wisconsin me n
made their -way into three co-ed
halls but their mood was prankish
and there were no incidents.
Stubborn co-eds at the Univer
sity of Delaware fought back with
fire hoses as-250 snorting, pawing
