Carney Rebuked for Speculations WASHINGTON, March 30 (BP) —President Eisenhower adminis tered an oblique rebuke to Adm. Robert B. Carney today with a declaration that too much specu lation about war does not serve world peace and tranquillity. Carney, chief of naval opera tions, has been named as the source of predictions that war may start in the Formosa Strait around April 15. To prophesy when a war is going to break out, Eisenhower told a news conference, is to as sume an accuracy of information never yet attained by a country that was to be attacked. The President said he cannot say, because he doesn't know, that there will not be an attack from April 15 onward on the National (Tip Bttilg VOL. 55, No. 113 STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, 1955 FIVE CENTS 15.6% Vote on —Photo by Mersereau STUDENTS LINE up to cast ballots in the All-University elec tions which began yesterday in the recreation room of the Hetzel Union Building.

The four reports are: 1. A proposal to deny freshmen the right to have a car on campus. 2. The proposed budget for next year, which has lowered student compensations. • 3. A recommendation that a Student-Faculty Board be set up to hear student appeals oz educa tional procedures and standards. 4. A recommendation that a Joint Student Committee on Town Affairs be set up to handle mat ters concerning students in rela tion to the town The recommendation that fresh men not be allowed to drive or park on campus was tabled by Cabinet last week. The plan, which was approved by Univer sity administration, went back to the traffic committee for further study. During debate last week, John Speer, All-University vice presi dent ,said that no more parking areas will be constructed in the central part of campus. Speer also announced that a University com mittee is studying methods of im proving bus faciilties in and out of State College. Speer said last night that offi cials of the three bus companies in State College have said they are prepared to meet the needs of students for transportation. They'' said special buses would be put on for vacation traffic, these buses ist-held Matsu Islands off fhe Chinese mainland. "But I do say," he added, "that if anyone is predicting it will be that soon, they have information that I do not have." While Eisenhower told a news conference that Carney will not be reprimanded "by me," he also said that: "I do not believe that the peace of the world, is being served at this moment by talking too much in terms of speculation about such things." And he told a reporter ."you have something there," in a sug gestion it is poor military strategy to talk about enemy war plans. The President upheld the right of a subordinate to hold personal opinion s. But the subordinate doesn't belong on the administra tion team, he said, if he is going FOR A RETThR PENN STATE running to specified towns where the numbers met a minimum number of passengers. Speer said the University would provide desk space on campus for the sale of tickets and reservations, and parking areas would be used for assembly points. The proposed Interclass bud get for next year is $875 below this years budget, mainly due to the drop in compensations. The nine College council presi dents, who receive $l5 each, and the Chairman of the Intercollege Council, who presently receives $135, have both been dropped from the list of compensations. Also dropped from receiving any compensation are the Orien tation Week committee. Tribunal, three members of the Student Handbook committee, six mem bers of the Spring Week Commit tee, and the NSA coordinator. The All-University president's compensation has been cut from $375 to $3OO irithe proposed bud get. Ten other compensations have also been cut anywhere from $5O to $lO.

Aside from peace and war, the President's conference ranged over these other topics: Formosa—The chief executive said he does not believe the cause of peace is to be served by mak ing any further commitments about American intentions regard ing the long range defense of the Chinese Nationalist stronghold. That was in response to a request for his opinion on proposals, at tributed by a reporter to Brig. Gen. Frank Howley, that (1) the Chinese Nationalists be armed with atomic weapons and that (2) it be made clear to the Red Chi nese that one more aggressive step will mean their destruction by atomic power.

Elections Committee All-University Elections Corn. mittee will meet tonight at 5:30 in the card room of the HUB, immediately after the polls close, and before the votes are tallied. The committee will hear any charges of violations by the three parties during campaigning. Ernest Famous, chairman of the elections committee, said yester day that the Lion party may be fined for turning their platform in late. Each party has posted a $23 bond, and this is the maximum any party can be fined for violet.e ing the Elections Code. It indi vidual candidates have violated the code, they may be docked anywhere from 10 to 100 votes. Some Coeds Vote In AA Election Women students were voting for Athletic Association offi cers in yesterday's All-Univer sity election. The voting machines used in the election were not adjusted to prevent women from cast ing ballots for AA officers. The officers are normally elected only by male voters. Election committee workers at the polls attempted to dis courage women from voting for AA officers. There is no way, however, to check how many women cast ballots in the AA race. Voting machines record only the votes cast. There is a race only for the office of AA president. Only one man was nominated for secretary-treasurer.
