Comment on Speech
Comments from seven of the 12 men named to All-University
Cabinet Thursday as new members of Lion's Paw by Richard Kirsch
ner, former Lion Party clique chairman and ex-presideni.of the, Lib
eral Arts Student Council, ranged from a flat "no comment"' to
praises of the aims and purposes of the organization.
Kirschner, when contacted yes
terday, said that his views had
been presented clearly to cabinet
and had' been reported fully in
yesterday's Daily Collegian. ,He
said he had "nothing further" to
say at this time, but would com
ment in the future if issue was
- taken with his remarks.
Patricia Ellis, president of the
Women's Student Government As
sociation, who requested' discus
sion on Kirschner's remarks to
cabinet but was denied it by cab
inet Parliamentarian Thomas Kidd
under a point of 'parliamentary
procedure, said yesterday that she
felt it was a good idea that the
issue of Lion's Paw, had come
out into the open. The responsi
bility now lies with cabinet to
weigh the issue and decide on
a course of action, Miss Ellis said.

1000 students.
In 1931 Banner represented the
Pennsylvania publishers at a
World Press Conference in Mex

many summers abroad to encour=
age collegiate study of the press

Jesse Arnelle, All-University
president, said he was a member
of Lion's Paw but his basic re
sponsibility was to the University
and cabinet, not- to Lion's Paw,
and he was commenting as chair
man of cabinet. He said he was
glad Kirschner got a chance to
express his feelings •on Lion's
Paw and its relationship with
cabinet.
"However," he added, "I don't
believe what occurred last year
or the year before, shall reoccur
in cabinet this year or next be
cause members of cabinet as stu
dent leaders are .able to think in
dividually and perform those dut
ies which we feel are to the best
interest of students and of Penn
State." •
Needs No Defense
Gerald Maurey, a member of
Lion's Paw this year, when asked
if he• felt Kirchner's remarks
would hinder cabinet's progress
or coperation in any way, replied;
"It depends on the way members
of cabinet accent this unnecessary
attention. Lion's Paw needs no
defense. I think that if one con
siders the caliber of past and pre
sent members, all will agree - that
their aim—perpetuating and bet
tering Penn State—is above ques
tion."
Allan Schneirov, named by
Kirschner as a member of Lion's
Paw, said that he was a member
of Lion's Paw and felt that Kirsch
ner's remarks would not hinder
progress or create any dissension
in All-University Cabinet.

Association of Independent Men,

Reds Outline 5 Point Peace Program
GENEVA, May 21 (W)—Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
outlined to the Indochina confer
ence today five points which he
said constituted a basis for diS
cussion of peace. But Western
diplomatic sources differed over
whether this signified that any
progress has been made toward
stopping the seven-year-old war.
One Western source said. "def
inite progress" had been achieved
although there was no cause yet
for cheering. Another declared to
day's four hour meeting the
longest yet on Indochina—"pro
duced. nothing."
French Foreign Minister Geor
ges Bidault proposed at the open
ing of the meeting that the con
ference take up points No. 1 and
No. 5 of the French armistice plan
and No. 8 of the Communist plan.
Point No. 1 of the French arm
istice plan provides for the group
ing of regular army units in zones
of assembly to be determined by
the conference on proposals from
the commanders-in-chief -in the

Morse Advocates
Party Realignment
The belief that party regularity which makes government officials vote against their
consciences should be replaced by a political realignment was expressed last night by Sen.
Wayne Morse, Independent from Oregon.

Parties!"

field. No. 5 provides for the ces
sation of hostilities with the sig
nature of any agreement reached
here.
Point No. 8 of the Communist
plan refers to the same subjects
but has features objectionable to
the West. It implies recognition of
the Communist-created "resist
ance governments" of Laos and
Cambodia. It provides that "both
sides in each of the three states"
should "carry out a necessary set
tlement • of territories and of the
areas occupied by them , "
It also includes the Vietminh
proposal that the cessation of hos
tilities be controlled by "mixed
commissions composed of the rep
resentatives of t h e belligerent
sides" in each of the three states.
Molotov liar indicated that he
would support a neutral nations
supervisory commission for this
task, but it is not clear whether
he would give up these mixed
commissions on a lower level.
One Western source found com
fort in the fact that for a while
today, the delegates rose above
the procedural wrangle and dis

By PADDY BEAHAN
stitution of political expedience for political principles has
,been decaying American political
p
arties and that a realignment
was necessary to sustain the two
party system.
He proposed that the liberals
of both parties join on one side
and the conservatives on the other
to replace what he called the pre
sent coalition of reactionaries of
both parties. He said a grass roots
movement toward this realign
ment was already taking place.
"The average citizen is second a
Democrat or Republican and first
an independent" who boasts that
he o votes for men and issues, not
party." he noted
Must Vote Conscience
He said there was ,no greater
subversion in American govern
ment than that of the official who
sits in the chair and does not vote
his conscience. The only respon
sibility an elected official owes his'
constituents is to keep faith with
his conscience.
"If the voters think he should
do what they want him to do, they
do not know the meaning of rep—
resentative government," he said.
The corruption of American pol
tics, he said, has been caused by
bad procedural methods and cam
paign - financing. "The essence of
McCarthyism," he said, "is bad
procedures. Eliminate the bad
procedures and you will eliminate
McCarthyism."
Procedure Rights
Americans have no substantive
rights without procedure rights,
he said,-and Americans don't real
ize' what politicians are doing to
their procedure rights. Investigat
ing committees are not legally
trials but 'they are trials in fact
which use methods of the police
state, he said.
He cited the Morse-Lehman
I Act, sponsored by him and Sena
tor Herbert Lehman of New York,
as legislature planned to halt such
methods. This bill would guaran
tee a person summoned before
an investigating committee, (1) a
bill of particulars; (2) the right
to. counsel; (3) the right to cross
examine the accusers, which he
noted McCarthy has- found use
ful; (4) the right to- time to pre
sent his case; and (5) that the ma
jority of the investigating com
mittee be present.
There would be no more situa

cussed a cease-fire in substance.
The same source said that there
was also an effort on both sides
to obtain more precise definitions
of what the - other side wanted.
These points deal with the mili
tary aspects of an armistice, par
ticularly the cessation of hostili
ties, the grouping of troops in pre
determined zones and the ques
tion of reinforcements from out
side.
Red China's Foreign Minister
Chou En-lai had agreed earlier
to the discussion of these points.
Bid as the meeting progressed,
the delegates fell deeper and
deeper into procedural arguments.
At the end of the meeting
Molotov proposed that on Mon
day the • discussion be centered
around five points.
These points were: establish
ment of a cease-fire; agreement
on zones in which the opposing
troops would be assembled; a ban
on reinforcements from outside
for either army; international
control of agreements; interna
tional guarantees to prevent vio
lations.
