Matmen Rate • Un4-er s'ogs A ins itt By SAM PROCOPIO Right on the heels of the Navy-Penn State 'dual wrestling meet encountered last week at Annap olis comes another tough one for Coach Charlie Speidel's Eastern and National defending mat champs. This time it will be in Rec Hall where the University of Pittsburgh will battle the Nittany Lions in the "match of the year." The dual meet is at 7 tonight. The Panthers, who come here boasting a most envious record', will go into today's dual. meet as favorites—the first time any team has been con ceded better than an even chance against the Lions in four years of wrestling.

By EDMUND "REISS gins of four amusingly attractive characters. Has Unusual Philosophy When Maria, a still-beautiful, middle-aged heiress, reveals her unusual philosophy of marriage, the audience becomes immediately interested in the action and the people. Maria, admirably por trayed by Anne Wylie, decides that since her last marriage ended in unhappiness, she will take away her next prospective husband for a month, on approval, before be coming his mate. Miss Wylie, as the ingenious heiress, plays her role almost to perfection. Although at the be ginning of the show, it seems im probable that she is to represent a woman of 41, this age discrep incy is soon forgotten due to her fine acting. Duke Laughable Character Myron Cole, playing thr' duke, a laughably conceited and selfish nobleman, enthralls the artdienae almost as soon as he appears in his bizarre costumes of the most hideous cuts and colors. Cole, seemingly realizing the inade quacy of the ,somewhat date d humor in the play, appears to do everything in his power to create and then sustain laugh-provoking situations. When Maria and the duke are together on stage, the farce glides along, neither encumbered by ex cessive speeches nor by inade quate acting. The laughs appear ing at these spot: - are not solely due to Lonsdale's words, but also result from expert direction of (Continued on page eight) STATE COLLEGE. PA..

Republicans Will Review Probe Rules WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (W)— Senate Republicans, meeting amid a storm over Sen. Joseph . Mc- Carthy's methods, ordered a checkup today to see whether rules fo r Senate investigations should be changed. McCarthy, declaring he would press on with his probes, said: "Witnesses in the future will have the same consideration as in the past." ti He said he would go right on exposing "dishonesty, corruption and communism." At another point in a news con ference, he said: "I don't subscribe to the idea that if your own party is being embarrassed—lay off." It was a charge by Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens that McCarthy had abused and brow-beaten a general which set off the newest , controversy over McCarthy's methods. Stevens at first had seemed headed for a televised showdown with McCarthy, who denied any abuse. This was called off after Stevens, McCarthy and othe r members of McCarthy's Investi gating subcommittee reached an accord, which was generally re garded as a surrender by'-Stevens. Aroused by this interpretation, Stevens yesterday issued a state ment that he would "never ac cede" to humiliation of Army men. President Dwight D. Eisenhower backed Stevens "IQO percent." It was the Senate Republican Policy Committee, headed by Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich), which ordered a survey of the rules with a view to a possible overhauling. McCarthy said he had read stories that "Republicans were trying to stop me," and dismissed the idea as "completely ridicu lous" when asked what he would do if some Republicans did try to stop him. The senator, talking on the sub ject of one-man hearings, said he had asked Democratic members of his investigating subcommittee to attend every hearing. "I hope they do attend," he said.

PITT Hugh Peery Bill Kozy or Ron Kurtz George Matthews Bob Cook Charley Uram r4ialt Navy which ended Penn State's 34-dual meet winning streak has led to speculation that the Pan thers will take the Nittany Lions this year. Tonight's match with the Lions will be the last dual meet of the season for Coach Rex Peery's Panthers. A' victory will give them a record of nine wins against a single defeat.

Mueller Thursday discredited a report made recently by Thomas Kidd, Pollock Council member, that vacated Pollock dormitories will not be used again as dormi tories. Mueller said he thought the re port, evidently a rumor, was "wishful thinking" on the part of residents of the area who wish to move. Mueller said Pollock dormitor ies will continue to be used until other facilities or a lack of demand for housing make their use un necessary. Kidd said a merger of Pollock and Nittany Councils into an East Dorm Council was proposed be cause the Pollock area is shrink ing in size as a living area. FIVE CENTS
