Eisenhower, HST . Agree
On Information Exchange
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (W)—President and President-elect met
in solemn conferences today and considered briefly some of the
grave problems of an uneasy world crowding in on the old adminis
tration} and the new.
Then, in sketchy general terms Harry S. Truman and Dwight D.
Eisenhower announced they had agreed on' a plan for liaison and
exchange of information in the
period before Eisenhower is in
augurated Jan. 20.
The plan, they said in a formal
statement, "will be of great value
to the stability of our country
and to the favorable progress of
international affairs."
Were Political Enemies
Committee
To Probe
Foundations
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (M
A congressional committee set out
today to find out how America's
multibillion dollar philanthropic
and educational foundations are
spending their money.
A major purpose of th e in
quiry, Rep. Cox JD-Ga.) stated,
is to discover whether any of the
foundations are engaging in "un-
American and subversive activi
ties." '
The government's interest in
the big charitable outfits—organ
izations like the Rockefeller, Ford
and Carnegie Foundations—is
based on the fact they operate
on a tax exempt :basis.
The first two -witnesses today
disagreed about the number of
foundations in the United States
and the size of their assets. They
appeared.to have different defini
tions of what constitutes a tax
exempt foundation.
Dr. Ernest Hollis of the U.S.
Of f i c e, of Education estimated
there are between 30,000 and 35,-
000 foundations in the country,
with total assets of six and one
half to seven billion . dollars.
Emerson Andrews, director of
philanthropic research fo r the
Russell Sage Foundation, fixed
the figure at 1007 foundations in
1950, with assets of $2,600,000,000.
Andrews said grants by foun
dations are relatively small in
terms of the current economy and
represent only about 3 per cent
of the _private philanthropy in
this country today.
Pro-Western
Nations Back
India Proposal
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Nov.
18 (W)—Canada and some other
influential non-Communist coun
tries in the UN assembly differed
with the United States today over
India's compromise plan for end
ing the Korean War.. They ex
pressed firm belief 'that American
objections could be met.
Members of the British Com
monwealth were reported to
given support to the proposal of
V. K. Krishna Menon. India; who
was said to be extremely irritated
that the United States reacted so
quickly in opposition to key points
of his resolution.
Mem b e r s of the Asian-Arab
group, of which India is a leader,
expressed surprise at the rapid
American reaction. They asked in
private conferences in UN halls
if the U.S. was trying to kill what
they said was a plan for a fair
chance to' end the Korean War.
They acknowledged,'" however,
they had no hint of Red reaction.
But in London, a well qualified
diplomat expressed the belief that
the New Delhi government would
not have come forward:with - its
proposal unless it was satisfied'
Red China would accept the main
points.
This London informant said the
Chines e Communists had con
veyed their views to the Indian
mission in Peiping, and the In
dian plan was drafted .partly on
the basis of Chinese arguments.
Presumably, however, Red China
had not
_taken a final ' stand on
the plan.
Opinion here in the important
Latin American group of 20 coun
tries was not jelled, although - one
of its leaders warned against the
U.S. being caught in an "intel
lectual booby trap."
Tomorrow Is Blue & White Day
The statement emphasized, how
ever, that Eisenhower was not
asked to assume, and did not
assume, any responsibility for de
cisions taken by the Truman ad
ministration in its last weeks of
power.
First alone, then with key ad
visers around them, the two men
who were bitter political enemies
less than three weeks ago held
their long heralded unity meeting
in the White House offices Eisen
hower will soon take over.
They went into their sessions
grim of face and serious in tone.
Eisenhower made it plain to re
porters later that the sessions
were all business. He called them
"very informative and instruc
tive." The emphasis clearly was
on foreign affairs.
Problems Not Voiced
"We have discussed some of the
most important problems affecting
our country in the sphere of inter
national relations," they said in
their joint statement. "Informa
tion with 'respect ,to these prob
lems has been made available
to Gen. Eisenhower."
What the scope and range of
these problems were, was only
a matter of conjecture. The two
men could have covered Korea,
chances of another world war,
troubles in Africa, the Middle
East and the Far East, possibly
developments relating to the per
fecting of a hyrogen bomb.
DuPont Civil
Suit Started
CHICAGO, Nov. 18 (EP) —The
Government today urged a Fed
eral Court to cut the du Pont fam
ily's "line of control" with the
General Motors Corp. and the
U. S. Rubber Company:
Thus began a legal battle which
ipits the government against those
two huge firms and another in
dustrial titan, E: I. du Pont de
Nemours and Company.
It is based on the government's
civil anti-trust suit against the
three companies, 117 members of
the du Pont family and three du
Pont holding companies.
The suit contends _ that the du
Ponts, through their stock hold-
Ings, control the du Pont com
pany, General Motors and U. S.
Rubber. It also alleges that the
operating companies violated the
Sherman Act by restraining trade
through secret rebates and by
dividing several fields of. manu.,
facturing among themselves to
eliminate competition.
The defendants have denied all
charges.
Eleanor ROosevelt
May Lose UN Seat
'UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Nov.
18 (?P)—Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt indicated today her days as
a U.N., delegate are near an end.
She said she does not expect
President-e le c t Eisenhower to
name her again to the U.S. Dele
gation or to the UN Commission
of , Human Rights of which she
was chdirman until last year.
Her statement to a reporter
came on the day that Secretary of
State Acheson and President Tru
man were talking with Eisenhow
er about the status of the whole
UN delegation. Its members, ap
pointed by Truman, lose their
posts as soon as Eisenhower be
comes president.
BEAT PITT!
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Taft Makes
Suggestions
For Cabinet
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (11 3 )
Sen. Taft disclosed today that
President-elect Eisenhower has
asked him for suggdstions on top
level government appointments,
including cabinet posts, when the
new Republican administration
takes over on Jan. 20.
Taft said he had made several
suggestions, but declined to name
those he supported.
The Ohio senator told a news
conference he will confer with Ei
senhower in New York tomorrow
and will ask the President-elect to
set a timetable for pressing for
eign and domestic legislation con
fronting the new Republican con
trolled 83rd Congress.
Collaboration In Line
Taft also commented that he
does not believe it will be.meces
sary for Eisenhower. to intervene
in the selection of GOP senators
for key Senate posts.
Collaboration between Eisen
hower and the senator he defeated
for the Republican nomination
seemed in line with statements
issued after their campaign con
ference in New York City. Taft
said then Eisenhower had assured
him there would be no discrimin
ation against Taft supporters in
passing out federal appointments.
Discounting talk of friction over
the job of GOP floor leader, Taft
said he thinks his colleagues will
fill major posts "without any
battle."
He withheld comment, however,
on whether he wants the floor
leadership for himself or would
prefer to continue in his old role
as chairman of the GOP policy
committee.
Taft has been urged by some
of his friends to seek the active
floor leadership, largely as a
means of preserving personal con
tact with Eisenhower when the
general moves into the Whit e
House.
In the past, floor leaders have
workqd in close -liaison with the
White House, generally being
summoned to weekly conferences
with the 'president, while policy
chairmen haven't always received
such invitations.
Taft told newsmen he believes
Eisenhower should hold weekly
talks with the three top Senate
leaders—the policy chairman, the
floor leader and the head of the
conference of all Republican sen
ators.
Einstein Declines Offer
Of Israel Presidency
JERUSALEM, Nov. 18 , (JP)
Prof. Albert Einstein has declined
any offer of the presidency of Is
rael, an official announcement
from Prime Minister David Ben
Gurion's office said tonight.

Minister messaged Abba Eban,
Israeli ambassador to Washing
ton, immediately after the funeral
of President • Chaim Weizmann
last week instructing him to in
quire from Einstein whether he
was prepared to accept the presi
dency if elected. The statement
added that Einstein had declined
the honor.

Guards Quell Third
Michigan Prison Riot
JACKSON, Mich., Nov. 18 (W)—Shotgun firing guards tonight
broke up the third major riot this year at Southern Michigan Prison,
the world's largest walled penitentiary.
More than 2000 convicts, some wielding butcher knives and
clubs, joined in the melee that lasted two hours. Even when it was
over the situation was 'described
as "so tense, anything could hap
pen."
Despite 20 shotgun and sub
machine gun blasts into the air,
no one was shot, and no guards
were grabbed as hostages as they
were in bloody and costly muti
nies in April and July.
One convict suffered a_ scalp
wound, apparently from a flying
plate or other missile, as tonight's
riot flared up in the prison din
ing hall and spread into the yards
and cellblocks
Capt. Earl Secrist, one of 140
state troopers racing to the scene,
was critically injured as his car
went out of control and hit a
tree two miles southeast of Lans
ing.
The same cry that set off riot
ing in April set off tonight's
action in the mess hall.
"There's salt in the coffee,"
someone yelled. Then bedlam
broke loose.
Tables were overturned; so
were spaghetti pots from which
the prison's 5000 to 6000 inmates
were to be fed tonight. Plates
and other missiles flew through
the air. _
Authorities said there had been
complaints about the food for
several days and that spaghetti is
not a popular dish with the in
mates.
Convicts broke into the kitchen,
grabbing knives and other weap
ons, then raced to Cellblock 1 and
2, releasing inmates there who
rushed into the yards-
Churchill Scorns
Laborite's Idea
LONDON, Nov. 18 (JP)—A sug
gestion that De f e n s e Minister
Lord Alexander or Prime Minis
ter Churchill accompany Presi
dent-elect Eisenhower to Korea
got a sarcastic reception in the
House of Commons today from
Churchill.
Laborite Arthur Lewis suggest
ed that Lord Alexander should
make the trip "or even better
still the Prime Minister himself."
Lewis added that the British
should be represented because of
the "deep concern felt by the peo
ple of this country on the whole
question of the Korean conflict."
Said Churchill in reply: "I am
fully aware of the deep concern
felt by Mr. Lewis in many mat
ters above his comprehension."
Churchill made no further com
ment. There has been no indica
tion here that a British repre
sentative has been invited to go
along with Eisenhower.

Allies Attempt
To Break Up
Red • Build-Up
SEOUL, Wednesday, Nov. 19 (N)
—Allied planes, tanks and artil
lery pounded massing Chinese
Communist forces on the north
ern end of Sniper Ridge Tuesday
in an effort to blunt any new at
tack.
Front dispatches said there was
no ground fighting of consequence
up to midnight but Red groups
ranging up to a company in
strength formed in draws and
gullies of the Central Front ridge.
Fighting has raged almost with
out interruption in the Sniper
Ridge Triangle Hill sector, north
of Kumhwa, since Oct. 14.
Far to the north, Sabre jets
dueled twice with Communist
MIGs for the second day in suc
cession. The U. S. Fifth Air Force
reported one Communist MIG was
shot down and another damaged
for a two day score of seven de
stroyed, one probably destroyed
and two damaged.
The Navy in Washington re
ported a comparatively rare foray
of Red MIGs against fast Carrier•
task Force 77 operating 100 miles
south of Chongjin, off the east
coast of Korea. Four Panther jet
pilots from the carrier Oriskany
intercepted the MIGs late Tues
day Korean time within 35 miles
of the task force and downed two.
A third MIG broke off action
after it was damaged in battle.
One Panther was hit but limped
back to the Oriskany, the Navy
said.
Usually based at Antung on the
Manchuria side of the Yalu River,
Red MIGs generally content them
selves with short stabs over
Northwest Korea. To reach the
task force south of Chongjim in
volved a flight of 265 miles or
more, if mounted from Antung,
and a long flight home after the
encounter. This suggested the
Reds either have increased the
range of their MIGs or moved op
erations to a new Red air base
closer to the scene.
