Beaver A.- monument commemorating General James A. Beaver, former president of the University Board of Trustees and former governor of Pennsylvania will be erected at Beaver Field about mid-May. Consisting of a 24 by 36 inch bronze tablet, mounted on a large block of sandstone, the monument was purchased by the class of 1909, which Beaver .helped to or ganize when he was president of the board of trustees. It will be placed just inside the main gate. The table will display a bas relief portrait of Beaver and a simple inscription telling of his services to the University and the state. It was designed by Harbe son, Hough, Livingston, and Lar son, architects, of Philadelphia. Fiske Company is making the bronze tablet. The stone for the memorial was taken from the Masonic Home grounds, Elizabethtown, between Harrisburg and Lancaster, by the alumni committee of the class of 1909, and'trucked to Beaver Field, where it now awaits further work. The monument will be formally dedicated at Alumni Day cere monies, June 12. Since Beaver Field was first used in 1922, no recognition of Beaver, for whom it was named, was attempted. Since Beaver had taken a special interest in their class, the alumni committee of the class of 1909 assumed respon sibility for the project of plan ning and erecting the monument. Beaver was a resident of Belle fonte.

Duane Holm, council parliamen tarian, produced minutes of the last meeting stating the corn mittee was to draw up .a constitu tion for the combined council, which the Pollock group would consider. The committee, however, under the chairmanship of council vice president Howard Sauder, decided Monday night to postpone the merger until next fall. The com mittee also decided to amend the Pollock constitution creating a liason committee from both Nit tany and Pollock councils to study common problems. These recom mendations were expected 'to be passed by Pollock Council, ac cording to Sauder. Sauder, who was absent from the council vote on the committee recommendations, said he and his committee misunderstood council instructions. He said he thought he had power to make a decision, for the council on the merger proposal, subject to council ap proval. The situation now, according to council president George Copella, is that Sauder's committee will draw up a merger constitution for the council to vote on at the next meeting. The proposal to merge Nittany and Pollock Councils into one council was first presented to and approved by the Nittany council. It was then sent to Pollock council.

Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wish accused Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens face to face today of "not giving us the facts" in their bitter dispute. Stevens heatedly denied it, and the fourth day of televised public hearings ended on that angry note. It was a day of storm and stress from the outset, when (1) Stev ens' lawyer accused the McCar thy forces of "shamefully doctor . ing"a photograph they put into evidence, and (2) the McCarthy forces retorted Stevens ordered the picture taken to butter up McCarthy and put a damper on his investigation 'of the Army.

David Schine, the drafted McCar thy -tide, side by side with Stev ens. The Army secretary's coun sel, Joseph N. Welch Jr., produc ed an uncropped version showing two other men were standing with Schine and Stevens when the picture was taken. Off and on, disputes over these poster-size photographs flared up all day, while TV cameras record ed every maneuver in the fast shifting probe.
