New Women's Hat Society— See Page 3 Vol. 53, No. 64 - Reports on Independent Due Tonight Reports on the Independent, newsletter for independents, will be presented to the Association of Independent Men Board of Gov ernors at 8 tonight in 102 Willard Hall, according to William Shit flett, • president. Melvin Rubin, secretary of AIM and chairman of the publication committee, said he, has asked "three or four" persons who rep resent differing opinions on the publication to give reports. Rubin said recommendations concerning the Independent will be made af ter the reports are presented. Two opinions cited by Rubin are that the Independent should print only the minutes of council meetings, and that no matter what the cost the publication should be suspended so the money can be used for recreational pur poses. Investigation of the Independent and the subsequent report were prompted by a motion Nov. 19 by Thomas Kidd, parliamentarian, to suspend publication. Kidd then asked to have the motion tabled until the next meeting, Dec. 4. At the Dec. 4 meeting, Kidd re ceived permission to withdraw the motion. Kidd said he introduced the motion because he knew that pos sible suspension was under con sideration and that he wanted the Board of Governors to be able to give the motion careful consider ation.

Dances Tell Story The program started out in high gear with two folk dances, "Hau shamer" and "Dance of Court ship" by the Schuhplattlers, Ba varian dance group. The authenic folk dances were handed down by generations of Alpine folk in Europe who gathered every year to try and out-do each other in folk dance festivals. The dances tell the story of an Alpine youth's love for his high land lass. As a 'symbol of this love he risks his life to climb a high peak in the Alps to pick a delicate "Edelweiss flower" to give'his maid. While in the moun tains he encounters an "Auer kand" bird which claps his wings and struts wildly about to win a mate. The youth decides to use the same tactics to -win his love. Participating in the colorful dances were Warren Horrith.as, Elizabeth Byrem, Samuel Bolan, Lilly Elander, Duane Holm, Jan ice Holm, Robert James, and Mar tha Darlington. Accordianist Gus Greyhasky accompanied the danc ers.

Macßae Committee Ceases Operation William L. Werner, chairman of the special f acu l t y committee which was formed to press for the reinstatement of• Wendell S. Macßae, said yesterday that the work of the committee was at an end. ' The group is no longer organ ized and can do nothing to secure back pay for Macßae, Werner said. Macßae was reinstated as pub ications manager in the depart ment of public information Dec. 7 after a more :than four-month long fight for his reinstatement by the Werner committee and other groups. Macßae was dis missed Aug. 28 because he was not certifiable as, loyal as required by the state Loyalty Oath Law, known as the Pechan Act. . - His reinstatement came after a report by Earl . G. Harrison • of STATE Truman Defense 'False Economy' WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (?P)—President Truman said today it would be "false economy" to cut the nation's multi billion-dollar defense buildup in order to reduce taxes. Without mentioning Soviet Russia by name, the Presi dent said the United States is confronted by " a potential enemy that is very hostile and very powerful." "And that potential enemy," he said, "is putting a far greater pro portion of his national product into the building of military strength, year after year, than we are." Four Fined In Action By Tribunal Four students- were fined $l, 19 students were issued $1 sus pended fines, and two warnings were made last night in actions taken by Tribunal. Handling a rash of cases in volving students who brought cars to campus Nov. 24-25, the period between the Penn State-Pitt foot ball game and the start of Thanks giving vacation, Tribunal set a policy under which $1 fines were invoked but suspended and a first offense listed. In the event of a second offense, the fine is subject to recall. Members of Tribunal declared that this policy may not be fol lowed in the future. When stu dents bring cars to the campus for short periods, temporary park ing permits should be secured from the Campus Patrol, they stated. Tribunal took no action in two cases pending further investiga tion of the circumstances involved. ' A recommendation to issue a permit to a student who, for phy sical reasons, can not be exposed to inclement weather was made to the Campus Patrol. Warnings were given to two students who did not incur viola tions ' large enough to warrant fines. Members declared that at the end of this semester a reevalu ation of the new parking system will be undertaken. The Campus Patrol has continually conducted parking surveys in an effort to insure maximum use of facilities, which are limited. Students were warned that, in order to make the new system work, Tribunal may be more stringent next semester. With student cooperation, mem bers declared, the campus parking situation 'may be eased. Fruit Cake Sale Phi Upsilon Omicron, home eco nomics honorary, will hold a' fruit cake sale 1 to 4 p.m. today in the Home Economics Living Center. Members of the honorary baked the cakes the first week of Decem ber. Two-pound cakes are $2.25, and one-pound cakes are $1.15. Philadelphia described him as "definitely certifiable" under the law. Harrison was appointed by President Milton S. Eisenhower to examine the facts in the case and report to the executive board of the' College Board of Trustees. Macßae refused to sign a loy alty oath as a protest against the Pechan Act, which he de scribed as "costly and useless." When an investigating committee failed to certify him'as loyal, Mac- Rae was dismissed. He has never signed' the oath. The committee headed by Wer ner said it was satisfied that its purposes were accomplished when Macßae was reinstated. At that time the committee expressed its concern for Macßae's' loss of back pay, but since that time legal obstacles have prevented - any ac tion on that matter. Calls Cut Addressing the Alumni Associ ation of the Armed Forces Indus trial College, the President did not say whether he was opposing the budget reduction promised by President-elect Eisenhower. The latter declared during the cam paign that sizable 'savings can be made in the spending for national security "and these savings can be made without reduction of de fensive power." Truman scoffed at unnamed critics who say the defense pro gram is too big for this country to carry. He said they use such words as "national bankruptcy," "economic collapse," and "the crushing tax burden." "I say to you very seriously that our present defense mobiliza tion program does not even ap proach the limit of what our country could do if we had to," Truman said. "Nevertheless, there has been a great deal of talk about the country's so-called inability to continue- a defense program of-the magnitude of this one. "That is very dangerous talk, because it could conceivably lead this country to a decision to cut back the defense program to a point below the minimum needs of our national security." The President's prepared , text was ,given out in advance. Re porters were not admitted to hear him deliver it—indicating that he may have talked off the record on some points not included in the text. With a touch of pride, Truman staunchly defended the policies he has charted during his years in the White House.
