Young Democrats Name
Johnson to' Presidency
Vanessa Johnson has been elect
ed temporary president of the
Young Democratic Club.
Other temporary officers of the
group are Edward Parris, vice
president; Lois Hummel, secre
tary; and Edward Lynes, treas
urer. These officers will be either

Building Service Employees. Both
unions are affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
“I am. not guilty of taking any
money from Local 67 illegally,
Dixon said.
He said he had been getting
compensation from the union for
work and' trips during his term
as president. “I did work that
Robert A. Callahan should have
been doing anyway,” he said.
Callahan is the international rep
resentative for Local 67' in this
area.
Result of Bitterness
Dixon said the charges made
Wednesday by international rep
resentatives of Local 67 were the
result of bitterness over tire break.
“These boys are hurt because they
lost a very ripe plum which net
ted them $5OOO to $6OOO a year in
per capita tax,” he said.
The per capita tax is a percen
tage of the dues of each union
member which is sent to the in
ternational union.
$2218 Short
Accusations were made Wed
nesday that $2218.22, in union
funds was unaccounted for during
the first seven months of this
year. One of the points included
in the charge was that Dixon had
received a payment of $lOO for
the month of September instead
of the regular slo' compensation.
The shortage in the funds was
presented in a report by Martin
Hellez, chief accountant for the
State, County, and Muncipal
Workers International. It Was im
plied that the former officers of
local 67 had held back the funds.
The officers were among those
who left the local to affiliate with
the Building Service Employees
International.
Dixon said that he had filed a
counter-bond to the writ of re
plevin action which was filed by
Local 67 to regain the minutes
and correspondence of the union.
Since the split two weeks ago, all
minutes and records of Local 67
have been in the possession of
the new organization. Dixon said
he now has the records back in
his possession.
Robert Lonergan, international
representative for Local 417, is
sued a blanket denial of all char
ges made by Local 67.
A meeting of Local 417 has been
called for 8 tonight in the lOOF
Hall.
CBS Confused
On Location
Of University
The publicity department of the
CBS Television Network is just as
confused as Herb Shriner about
the location of the Pennsylvania
State University in a town called
State College.
The department’s release on the
appearance of the McCloskey
triplets on Herb Shriper’s show
“Two for the Money” said that
the girls were freshmen at the
Pennsylvania State “College.” •
When Shriner interviewed the
girls he asked them whether they
were attending the University of
Pennsylvania. When Jeanne, Ju
lie, and Joyce replied that they
were attending the Pennsylvania
State University in State College,
he commented:
“I see. You are going to two
different colleges. Is that the idea?
I’m a little mixed up . . . it’s a
confusing setup.”

Stewart Proposes
Unemployment Aid
Immediate and positive action to end unemployment in the state
was advocated last night by John R. Stewart, Democratic Congres
sional candidate for the 20th district, speaking to the Young Demo
cratic Club.
In attacking the Republican contention that the nation is now in a
“leveling off” period, Stewart cited the unemployment situation in
his native city of Altoona, saying:
“Those 45,000 people on food re
lief there know this is not merely
a recession but a depression.
“With several hundred thou
sand high school and college grad
uates and returning servicemen
flooding the employment markets
each year, we can’t afford to
‘level off. We must create new
jobs,” he said.
To create these new jobs, Ste
wart listed public works projects
as well as means for attracting
new industries to the area. Pub
lic school construction, reforestra
tion, stream rehabilitation for
flood prevention, and dam con
struction ate vitally needed, he
said,
Showing how new industries
could be attracted, Stewart pro
posed that “we lift some industrial
taxes and contruct plant facili
ties to be leased to the new firms.”
Under the program he outlined,
the buildings would be state fi
nanced, then leased to the con
cerns for 15 years. The rentals
would pay for the buildings in
this time and they would then be
company property.
“In the meantime,” he said, “the
payrolls would bring millions of
dollars to the state each year.”
Stewart called Republican char
ges on Communism in govern
ment a “numbers game” saying
“They have not convicted one
known Communist since they
have been in office.”
Known Communists Tried
Before the Republicans came
into power, he said, all known
Communist party leaders were
tried under the Democrat-passed
Smith Act.
“The Republican Party would
like the public to think the 6000
‘security risks’ recently discharged
from the government were sub
versives,” he said. He claimed the
security risk dismissals include
persons who drink too much, talk
too much, or whose morals may
not be the best. ■

Juba, Reports
Trophy Theft
State College Police Chief
John R. Juba said Wednesday
that a complaint had been re
ceived concerning trophies
stolen from fraternity houses
over the weekend, and that an
investigation will be started.
Marshall Dawsey, president
of Delta Upsilon, reported that
thre.e trophies were stolen from
the chapter house. Seven tro
phies were stolen from the
Delta Upsilon house last year
during the West Virginia week
end. Five of, them were return

that the Democratic party was a
war party, Stewart, who lost his
right arm fighting in World War
11, said: “The bill to declare
World War II was passed by every
member of both houses of Con
gress.” (
It was not, he contended, a
Democratic economic measure, for
“At that time we were well on
our way to economic stability.”
As far as the United States’ en
trance into the Korean War was
concerned, Stewart said it could'
have been prevented by the pas
sage of the Korean Aid bill in
May, 1950. The measure, which
would have granted Korea $6O
million, was defeated by a 192-191
vote just a month prior to the
U.S. entry into the war.
- “My opponent (James Van
Zandt, Republican incumbent)
voted against the bill,” he said.

fame Change:
Both Sides
Confident
Of Victory
Chairmen of the opposing fac
tions in the controversy over the
borough name change expressed
confidence yesterday that the
State College voters would back
their groups’ views at the polls
Nov. 2.
Edward Dill, chairman of
Friends of State College, and John
McLucas, chairman of the Com
mittee Of 50, were asked for their
opinions on the Daily Collegian
poll published yesterday.
Dill said he felt that the ma
jority of voters are opposed to
the name change. He said" he
thought the poll results definite
ly indicate the proposed name of
Mt. Nittany will be defeated. .
McLucas said he expected such
a result at this time. He said
enough voters 1 will probably
change their minds by the voting
date to swing the election in fav
or of the new name.
He also said that when his com
mittee started the move for the
name of Mt. Nittany, the borough
residents were opposed to it about
ten to one.
The Daily Collegian poll show
ed that of 485 voters contacted,
145 favored the change to Mt. Nit
tany. 75 favored a change but did
not like Mt. Nittany, 239 opposed
any change, and 29 were still .un
decided as to how they will vote.
Dill said he questioned the con
clusions drawn by the Daily Col
legian.
Results of the poll indicated to
the Collegian that the issile would
probably be decided by the voters
who have not made up their
minds or by those who do not
like the name Mt. Nittany.
Past polls conducted by the
Centre Daily Times and Univer
sity psychology students revealed
a much greater percentage of bor
ough residents opposed the name
change. !
