Saxophonist State Party Clique Head Dismisses 2 By Ann Leh and Don Shoemaker State Party's campaign man ager and men's ward chairman have been discharged from their posts. Richard Rigling, fourth semes ter arts and letters major, the campaign manager, and David Scott, third semester agriculture economics major, men's war d chairman, said last night they were fired Tuesday by clique chairman Rae DelleDonne. Miss DelleDonne said they were fired "because the gentlemen in question were incompetent and failed to fulfill the obligations of their positions." When asked for further com ment, she said, "Rumors to the effect that friendship has been severed are completely false, mis leading, and are being circulated only by those persons who are out for their own personal gains and are envious of State Party's prog ress and organization." Miss DelleDonne said that the posts were dissolved and may or may not be refilled. She ex plained that these posts had not existed before this semester. Rigling and Scott, insisting they had been fired, and had not re signed, said: "While we have no affiliation or connection with the State Party, we will continue to support all of the State Party candidates." Earlier last night they express ed complete confidence in the party's candidates. None of the three would elab orate on the details leading up to the dismissal. Conflicting rumors about the dismissal had circulated on cam pus yesterday.

The 47-year old former naval lieutenant-com mander, concluded his deal while a shrunken Philadelphia group seeking to buy the A's and keep it in this city cooled its heels in the lobby. The final drama in what must - be described as the most fantas tic sports story of the year, came at the bedside of one of base ball's all-time idols. Connie, who will be 92 next month, is weak. He hasn't eaten a substantial meal since last Thursday.

Callahan, international representative for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, outlined to members of Local 67 last night evidence to be presented to the grievance panel when it meets at the University Dec. 16, 17, and 18. He said the books of Local 67 have been sent to the bonding company to determine the extent of the shortage in union funds. He added that any further action on the matter would have to come from the bonding company. Several weeks ago, Martin Hellz, chief accountant for the in ternational, reported that $2238.22 in union funds was unaccounted for after 300 members of Local 67 voted to disaffiliate.

His wife, Katherine, shielded him from reporters. Acting for, him, she told newsmen: "Johnson offered too strong a proposition. There was nothing else we could do. Mr. Johnson is a nice man and • he won out. We said whoever got here first would be the buyer, Mr. Johnson was here at 9 o'clock, the Philadel raja group came at 10 a.m. The Philadelphia group dilly-dallied." The Philadelphia group, Mrs. Mack referred to was made up of John P. Crisconi, Isadore Sley, Morton I. iebman and T. R. Hanff. Sley and Liebman, taking their attorney along, were in the lobby with four checks totaling $604,000 made out to Cornelius McGilli cuddy, Connie Mack's true name. r,giatt Says UN Tetuires If it were not for the existence of the United Nations, the "world would have long ago been involved in World War III," Ralph Bunche declared last night. The director of the UN Department of Trusteeship, speak ing before a full Career Day audience in Schwab Auditorium, defended the international organ ization against the criticism that it has accomplished nothing in its nine-year history. "The United Nations has not An interview of Ralph Bunche, in which he discusses United States recognition of Commun ist China, racial segregation, and problems facing the. United Nations will appear in tomor row's Daily Collegian. failed," he declared, "and it re quires no apology." Citing accomplishments in Iran, Indonesia, Greece, Berlin, Pales tine, and Korea, as well as solu tions to international situations before they exploded into head lines, Bunche said the UN has avoided the "incalculable castas trophe of international war." 'Way of Reason' "The United Nations' way," he said, is the way of reason." And, he added, "The United Nations is indispensable." The moral determination of the world's peoples, transferred by them to their statesmen, is the UN's only source of the power, he said. Thus, "The individual citizen has a highly responsible role to play today," Bunche said. "We are shouldering a leadership which we did not seek, ,but cannot es cape." Bunche, who won the 1950 No bel Peace Prize for his work in Palestine as mediator, also de clared: 1. The weapons of the Atomic Age "are the logical end to war. If reason prevails, the Hydrogen bomb may be the deterrent to war." 2. But the United States must (Continued on page eight) Review-- Players Present 'Mister Roberts' The fleet was in last night as Players presented their production of Thomas Heggen's and Josua Logan's "Mr. Rob erts" in Schwab Auditorium and these sailors provided Uni versity theatre-goers with one of the most rollicking, most entertaining evenings to be seen yet this year. Not only did the audience enjoy itself, but the cast of the show seemed as if it truly liked what it was doing. Although there were moments of slowness, these were overshadowed by the excel lent character portrayals given by the cast in general, and these did not at all impair this humorous and tender story of 'an officer with the desire to be in the ac tual fighting of World War 11. The crew of U.S. Navy Cargo ship AK-601 ran up and down the • stage, amusing their ship mates and the audience with their boisterous and rather coarse hu mor. However, this humor—due to the fine presentation of these crew members—could hardly have offended the softest soul present. Besides these excellent charac terizations of rough and tough seamen, several other members of the cast stood out in particular. Not Failure, No Apology' Chairmen Call Career Day A Success Although attendance ran a little under that of last year, the Busi ness Administrations' Career Day yesterday was termed more suc cessful than last year by Thomas Brasher and John Bruce, co-chair men. The - career day consisted of seven panel discussions led by business leaders on several phases of business and government. The night program featured Ralph J. Bunche, director of the Trustee ship Council of the United Na tions. "The career day, was a fine suc cess because of the excellent co operation by all connected with it, Ossian R. MacKenzie, dean of the College of Business Adminis tration said yesterday. "The panelists ably presented the practical aspects and oppor tunities in the several fields of business and th e professions which they represented," Mac- Kenzie said. Between 50 and 120 students attended each of the panel discus sions which was slightly under the attendance of last year but students attending showed great er interest, Brasher said. A reception was held yesterday afternoon at Beta Theta Pi for the panelists, faculty and stu dents. The reception, which Bunche also attended, was spon sored: by the Business Adminis tration Student Council to give the faculty and students an in formal chance to meet Bunche and the panelists. By EDMUND REISS Of these, probably Jay Broad as the selfish, ambitious and insensi tive captain turned in a magnifi cent performance. As an officer who advanced the hard way and who let everyone know he did so, Broad easily caused the audience to despise him from the moment he ap peared on stage watering the pot ted palm that was a symbol of everything worthwhile in his life. Carl Held, as Ensign Pulver, the irresponsible officer who couldn't make a decision and could never follow to its conclusion anything that he began turned in another wonderful performance. He was probably the most humorous char acter of the motley men that were aboard this cargo ship and pro.. (Continued on page eight) Students Potential See Page 4 FIVE CENTS
