Rusty Pipe
May Have
Caused Death
A rusty furnace pipe, leaking
carbon monoxide fumes, appeared
today to be the cause of the
deaths of Clyde N. Hall, associate
professor of dairy husbandry, and
his family.
The bodies of Hall and his
youngesjt son were found Monday
morning in their home in Pleas
ant Gap. Mrs. Hall was found in
the house in a semi-conscious
condition. She was admitted to
Centre County Hospital, where
she died yesterday afternoon.
Authorities were of the opinion
yesterday that carbon monoxide
gas, seeping. into the house from
a rusty furnace pipe,, was the
cause of the deaths.
Centre County Coroner John
Weber yesterday ordered autop
sies performed on the three vic
tims. Dr. Carmillo Dologna, of
Williamsport, performed autop
sies on the mother and son yester
day. An autopsy on Hall was
scheduled to be performed this
morning, but as of yesterday
afternoon, the examination was
incomplete.
Tests conducted by Dr. Mary L.
Willard, professor of chemistry
and noted criminologist, showed
traces of carbon monoxide in
blood samples taken from the son.
Further tests were planned for
yesterday, but Dr. Willard re
fused to' comment.
Yesterday morning, investigat
ing authorities found the . rusty
furnace pipe leading from the
furnace to the chimney. They re
ported the pipe was punctured by
several holes about the size of
a man’s fist.
The two autopsies performed
yesterday indicated that the fath
er and son had been dead from
36 to 48 hours before the bodies
were found.
Funeral arrangements are still
incomplete. Paid S. Williams, act
ing head of the dairy husbandry
department, said yesterday that
it is tentatively planned to ship
the bodies to Haverhill, N.H.
sometime today. Donald V.
Josephson, head of the depart
ment of dairy husbandry, will ac
company the bodies. He returned
early from a convention in At
lantic City.
One of the Hall’s two other sons
arrived in State College Monday
night. He is Robert Hall, who is
stationed with the army in Fort
Jackson, S.C.
Another son, Clyde Jr., who is
with the Air Force, stationed at
Lorring Air Force Base, Lime
stone, Me., was expected to ar
rive here sometime yesterday,
along with a brother' of Hall’s
from Maine.

Trieste Occupation Ends Today
TRIESTE, Oct. 26 (JP)—' The Uni
ted States and Britain gave Trieste
back to Italy today in a rowdy
farewell thrown into utter confu
sion by rain, wind and a wild cel
ebration.
The weather washed out the
formalities, but failed to daunt
the Triestini. They surged about
the city by the tens of thousands
to cheer the entry of Italian troops
after nine years'of British-Amer
ican occupation.
They provided an almost equally
tumultuous farewell for depart
ing American troops. But the high
wind that swept across the north
ern Adriatic forced the royal navy
aircraft carrier Centaur to sail
away ahead of schedule with de
parting British troops. They left
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Students
On Penn
Students were urged to conduct themselves, as representatives of the University at
this Saturday’s football game with the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, in a
statement from Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs, yesterday.
Kenworthy’s statement said:
“I look forward with all other Penn Sta ters to the 43rd Penn-Penn State football
game on Saturday. I know the team will giv e its best, as it has in every game win or

Debate Ban
Is Termed
'Ridiculous'
Irwin Weiner, Forensic Coun
cil president, yesterday termed
the banning of this year’s intercol
legiate debate topic by four Ne
braska Colleges “ridiculous.”
The topic, dealing with United
States diplomatic recognition of
Bed China, was banned by four
Nebraska state-supported teach
ers colleges last week. College
spokesmen there said they felt
students should not be allowed to
debate “the Communist side”
(supporting U.S. recognition of
the Chinese Communist govern
ment).
“When we consider the basic
issues,” Weiner said, “the affirma
tive teams are not actually taking
a stand in favor of the Commu
nist government of China.
“They are only suggesting that
extending diplomatic recognition
to this government would best
serve the interests of the United
States and her allies. In fact, one
of the major premises of the Penn
State teams is that now, as in the
past, the United States need not
accept or agree with the Chinese
Communist government’s ideals
and policies to diplomatically rec
ognize it.”
In formal debate, the affirma
tive team must show that recogni
tion of Red China is necessary, de
sirable, and practical.
The topic was selected by the
Speech Association of America, an
organization of speech instructors
and debate coaches. The topic will
be used in most intercollegiate
debates and tournaments this
year.
At the same time that the four
Nebraska schools announced their
decision, a spokesman for the Uni-,
versity of Omaha said his insti
tution would take a similar stand.
The Forensic Council, the stu
dent governing body of the de
bate teams, is composed of three
members of the women’s team
and six men debaters.
Cabinet Agendas Ready
All-University Cabinet mem
bers may pick up agendas for the
meeting tomorrow night at the
Student Union desk in Old Main.
virtually unnoticed.
This dashed plans for a formal
parade by honor guards of British,
American, and Italian soldiers
planned to mark the change of
command. Hearing of the Cen
taur’s departure Maj. Gen. John
A. Dabney, American commander,
canceled his troops’ appearance.
Then the crowd got into the act
and spoiled the only formality
left on the program—a final meet
ing between Dabney, British Maj.
Gen. Sir John Winterton, Allied
military governor, and his succes
sor, Italian' Maj. Gen. Edmondo
de Renzi.
A flag-waving, cheering crowd
of thousands broke through a cor
don of 1500 carabinieri national
police and surged toward Winter
ton’s hotel. He messaged that he

will go. We all remember the un
fortunate publicity that came to
the University after the game
last year because a minority of
the many students who attended
forgot the fact that they were
just as representative of the Uni
versity as the team on the field.
“Let’s put some real meaning
into the pledge of the Alma Mater
—‘May no act of ours bring
shame to one heart that loves thy
name.’ If we do, we will win ever
increasing fame both on and off
the field.”
Last year after the Penn foot
ball game weekend, several re
ports of misconduct on the part
of students were received by the
University. Two • letters were re
ceived from prominent private
citizens. One stated that student
conduct was “. . . pure mob
rowdyism.” The letter also asked
“Why should we tax payers be
asked to educate students who
have not learned how to conduct
themselves properly?”
Damage was reported in the
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in which
approximately 1700 students
stayed over the weekend. No
damage was reported in any of
the other Philadelphia hotels,
however.
A letter from the vice presi
dent and the general manager of
the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel criti
cizing student conduct said, “As
far as I’m concerned, these ath
letic contests between the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and Penn
State ought to be canceled if they
are going to. produce as an after
math such riotous scenes as were
witnessed' here Saturday.”.
The hotel manager stated that
bottles were thrown out of the
windows into the court, and un
fortunately on to Broad Street,
several of them narrowly miss
ing people. He further said that
furniture was thrown out of the
windows, many of the rooms were
left in a filthy condition, and
there was damage to furniture
and equipment.
In regard to student conduct
at last year’s Penn game, All-
University Cabinet expressed its
discontent in its first meeting
after the game. Cabinet adopted
the resolution which stated: “In
view of the fact that the conduct
of certain University students at
the Penn football game was det
rimental to the good name of the
University, All-University Cab
inet recommends that in the fu
ture the student body .conduct it
self in a manner to better rather
than stain the name of the insti
tution.”
could not get through the deliri
ous mass of Triestini to meet his
colleagues.
- This was announced as the rea
son for Winterton’s absence. But
it was learned authoritatively his
appearance was canceled for se
curity reasons because of the cara
binieri’s inability to restrain the
throng.
In the meantime, Dabney waited
for de Renzi, but learning of Win
terton’s absence de Renzi can
celed his appearance too.
Dabney strode out of the hotel,
through the throng into a waiting
car. At first he was greeted by
whistles—the Italian token of dis
approval. Then voices cried: “No,
no, he’s the American general.”
Quickly, most of the whistles
turned to applause..

Carpenter
Warns IFC
Members
John Carpenter, Interfraternity
Council president, warned
nity representatives at the IFC
meeting Monday that future foot
ball half-holidays will hinge on
student conduct at the Penn game
this weekend.
Carpenter urged fraternities to
keep their parties closed to mem
bers, alumni, and close friends.
Carpenter also , reminded the
representatives that all peddlers
must register with the borough
and pay. a $lO registration fee
to IFC before they can sell their
wares in fraternities.
Fraternities should buy only
from registered peddlers, Carpen
ter said. The registration fee is
designed to protect fraternities
from “fly by night” peddlers, he
said.
Carpenter reminded the repre
sentatives that parties at Whipples
Dam must be over by 9 p.m. He
said there have been reports of
parties lasting after this deadline.
Earl Seely was appointed chair
man of the ETC Help Week com
mittee. Fraternities interested in
projects for Help Week may ob
tain suggestions from this com
mittee, Carpenter said.
Carpenter also appointed Arthur
Anderson editor of the National
Interfraternity Council brochure
and Donald Reidenbaugh was
named chairman of the children’s
Christmas parties committee.
