Ike Wants Increased Tariff Authority WASHINGTON, March 30 (R) —President Eisenhower urged a hesitant Congress today to give him increased authority to reduce tariffs and seize the initiative in smashing "unjustifiable barriers" to expanded world trade. Many Republicans applauded Eisenhower's broad objectives. But from strategically placed members of a party of high tariff traditions came predictions that the President will have to settle for considerably less th an he wants. The bid for more power to low er import duties was the pivotal point in a special 5000 word mes sage to Congress that set forth Eisenhower's foreign economic policy. "For our own economic growth," the President said, "we must have continuously expanding world markets; for our security we re- c _ „. 1 , 0 .0,........... \ 1 Tr 4 zit , g E Azx 40 CO ~ • . r.:515;Y Sr Lullabye Time —Photo by Rohrbaugh MEMBERS OF Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity, parody All-University Cabinet at its annual Gridiron Dinner last night at the Nittany Lion Inn.

Expanding trade is the only adequate solution' for these two pressing problems con fronting our country." Specifically, he asked Congress to extend the reciprocal trade agreements law for three years beyond its June 12 expiration date and add to its extra authority for him to negotiate cuts in Ameri can tariffs in exchange for reduc tions in tariffs of other nations. Robert Kean (R-NJ), a top Re publican on the House Ways and Means Committee, said he is for all this but doesn't believe Con gress will go for it. "An extension of the present law," he said, "is about the best we can expect. Sen. Martin Humphrey (D-Minn) said that "Democrats can't mus ter enough votes to get the thing through," and the Republicans will reject it. The Thee presidential message re flects a shift in emphasis from aid FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, 1954 By MIKE FEINSILBER And the University Provost, Adrian 0. Morse, rebutted with the snappy sting of a New Eng land lobster. • Morse, who promised he was "going to make a good appear ance,"• since he "borrowed these clothes from the President of the U n i.v er s i.t y," was this year's "Sweetheart of Sigma Delta Chi." "When any good newspaperman feels like exercising," Morse quipped, "he lies down 'til the feeling goes away. Of course, if he lies down too long, he becomes a professor of journalism." And Morse kidded the house mothet•-wary fraternities "ex pectant fraternities, a houseful of boys expecting a mother." But he reassured the Greeks that it was (Continued on page eight) to trade. Give-away economic aid for other countries should come to -an end as soon as possible," Eisenhower said. "While a reduction in aid will step up pressure for a resumption of the old pattern of trade be tween the West and Communist nations," Eisenhower said, an in crease in peaceful trade, "so far as it can be achieved without jeopardizing national security, and subject to our embargo on Com munist China and North Korea, should not cause us undue con cern." There were other proposals, too, for: Giving foreign firms an even break on U.S. government pur chases if •American bidders are treated on an equal basis in their countries. Stimulating a freer exchange of currencies, more 'American in vestments abroad, and a stepped up volume of international travel. Panned Banquet rgian Senate Group May Consider D sting Changes Suggested changes in hours and qualifications for chaperons, described in the new fraternity social code, will probably be con sidered this morning by the Senate committee on student affairs, Henry S. Brunner, chairman, said yesterday. If any comprehensive changes are made which would require the committee to submit a report to the University Senate, they may be submitted tomorrow, Brunner said. Thomas Schott, Interfraternity Council president, presented the suggested changes, drawn up by the IFC Board of Control, to the committee last Wednesday. No Action Last Week Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs, said no action was taken then as there was not sufficient time at last week's meeting to consider_ the sugges tions. When the suggestions were made, neither Kenworthy nor Schott would say specifically what the suggested changes were. Last week Kenworthy indicated he would explain the suggested changes after they are considered by the committee. Similar to President's Ideas Schott said fraternity presidents would have an approximate idea as to what the suggestions were beCause they were similar to those discussed by them when they met March 10. At that time the presidents asked Schott to represent them at a meeting with President Milton S. Eisenhower to discuss the drinking and, dating policy which goes 'into effect Sept. 1, 1954. The suggested changes present ed' to the committee are those dis cussed when Schott met with President Eisenhower and Ken worthy. They met three times. Object to Chaperons The presidents' m a j or objec tions to the new policy concerned the extensive use of chaperons, qualifications for chaperons, and the limitations on the time when women would be permitted in the houses. They asked Schott to present to President Eisenhower a request for longer hours when women could be in fraternities and -a re quest for more lenient choice of chaperons. Dating in fraternity houses must end at 8 p.m. Sunday, •according to the new policy. Under the pre sent unchaperoned dating code, dating is permitted in fraternity houses until 11 p.m. Sunday. The presidents expressed a particular interest in reducing the requirement that alumni chap erons be of ten years' standing. In the new code proper chaper onage is defined as two couples, three adults, or a part-time house mother. In addition to alumni, chaperons may be chosen from members of the University faculty or staff, fraternity advisers, and parents of chapter members. The new policy provides that chaperons will be required at all times women are present, except in cases of "dry" houses. These houses may have limited unchap eroned dating.
