THURSDAY, APltil. 21.1955 Refugee Relief Ruined—Corsi WASHINGTON, April 20 (/P)—Edward Corsi charged to day a State Department "security gang" headed by Scott Mc- Leod had wrecked the administration's refugee relief program. He told a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee the program needs to be taken out of "the hands of the policemen" and administered under "ktew, competent and sympathetic lead ership." Corsi, a prominent New York Republican, said he was brought into the State Department as an expert last Jan. 9 to help get the program "rolling." Ninety days later Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles fired him. "Shabby and unchristian treatment," Corsi called it. McLeod's Immigration Views He testified that Mclkod, State Department security chief and di rector of the program, believed most Arnericans and most con gresimen are "against immigra tion Of any kind. ' Increased immigration is one of the basic ideas of the Refugee Relief Act. Under it, the United States would admit 214,000 care fully screened refugees by the end of 1958. About 22,000 visas have been issued during the first 18 months of the program. McLeod told the senators today he believed the aims of the pro gram would be "substantially" achieved. He pictured Corsi as un willing to settle down as his dep uty. _ _ _ _ Red China Backs Arabs In Dispute BANDUNG, Indonesia, April 20 (Pi—Red China today wooed the solidly anti Communist Moslem countries of the Middle East by taking the side of the Arab states against Israel. The Arabs are represented and Israel it not at the 2,9-nation Asian-African conference that opened here Monday.

The Arabs have been' most bit ter over the plight of betWeeti 800,000 and 9000100 Palestine Ar ab refugees driven froin their homes in Israeli-won terkitory during the Palestine war of 1948. The refugees now lie in neigh boring Arab countries ,on the Israeli peritneter, supported main ly by UN aid.

Stop at U. Bur's Consulted Others As Corsi's assignment became an increasing problem, McLeod testified, he took the matter up with Loy Henderson, deputy un dersecretary of state for adminis tration, , and .Roderick O'Connor, Dulles' personal assigtant. McLeod said Henderson and O'Connor decided "this thing was never going to be worked ()UK" and that Cotsi would have to be removed from the program and offered some other post in the department if he wanted it. Administration "Confused" When Chairman McClellan (D- Ark.) commented that there seemed to have been a clash of adniiiiistration, McLeod said, "there's not any question we had confused administration here." Corsi called the program "a Complete failure and a national scandal." • Corgi contended that American consuls abroad are either apa thetic to the program, refusing to give it priority, or that they just do not have time to handle the UN Power Curb Asked by Bricker WASHINGTON, April 20 (RI Sep. John W. Bricker (R-Ohio), a foe of "world government," to day proposed curbs on the powers of the United Nations. Appearing before a Senate For eign Relations subcommittee, the Ohio Republican suggested that the UN charter be amended so as "to deny to the UN any power no ,expressly delegated by the charter." Bricker asked: "Since when has it been proper to deny to the American people the right 'to choose the govern ment under which they shall live and be loYal?" THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLtut PtpiroyLvANiA MSC Asks To 'Share TV Channel WASHINGTON, April 20 (IF)— As for educational television, Dr. John A. Hannah is reluctantly convinced that if you can't lick commercial stations, join 'em. So Michigan State College, of which Hannah is president, is asking the Federal Communica tions Commission for permission to share a regular TV channel with a commercial station. Michigan State would concen trate on the day hours, when farmers, housewives and pre school children are available. The commercial station would have the night programs. Most commercial stations op erate on what is known as very high frequency. A few years ago the FCC opened a new band, ul tra high frequency, and the rush was on. Quite a cry went up from edu cators and other cultural guardi ans that some of the channels should be set aside for schools. And when that was done, many folks, including those at Michi gan State, thought a great victory had been won. And what is Hannah's conclu sion after 15 months of opera tion? "It's costing us almost $lOOO a day—and hardly anyone is look ing at us, even though I think we have the best educational station on the air." Guard Practices Mock Air Drill WASHINGTON, April 20 WI America's National Guard rushed to posts of duty tonight in a prac tice mobilization, first nationwide test of its kind in history. Soon after the Pentagon figur atively pushed an "alert" button, guardsmen were at their posts in armories, scouring the skies in planes, guarding waterworks, bridges and railroad stations or moving in the darkness against "enemy parachutist saboteurs." It was strictly a test operation, to see how quickly and how com pletely the guard of 400,000 men could respond to a call to arms in a real emergency. Officials em phasized there was no cause for alarm. gAll CIGARETTES SAter ODERN SIZE FILTER TIP TAREYTON gives you true tobacco taste... is smooth and easy-drawing! moDuar or cleA4iftm‘Zeitsiav Far East Speed to WASHINGTON, April 20 (W)—The nation's top military man and 'the State Department's Far East specialist sped today to For mosa for on-the-scene consultations abmit the "tense situation which continues" there But Secretary of State John involved" in the sudden travel orders for Adm. Arthur W. Rad ford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Walter S. Robertson, assistant secretary of state. As if to emphasize his words, Dulles left for a few days vaca tion at his island retreat in Lake Ontario. Rdbertson and Radford are due about noon Sunday in Taipei, Na tionalist China capital. Their visit will mark the second time the United States and Nationalist Chi na have consulted under their mutual consultation at Taipei last March 8. A statement issued by the State and Defense Departments befori. Robertson and Radford departed said the consultations were or dered "in view of the tense situa tion which continues in the area." The statement added that peri odic conferences under the treaty can be' expected "so long as the Chinese Communists indicate by deeds and words their pu rpose to take Formosa by force.' The sudden dispatching of Rob ertson and Radford comes at a time when Dulles has disclosed reports of a Red air buildup op posite Formosa. It also coincides with surprisingly moderate state ments by Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai at the Asian-African conference of 29 nations in Band ung, Indonesia. Robertson told newpmen the trip had been talked about "for several days." He said the idea originated with Dulles who had talked ,to President Dwight D. Eisenhower about it at Augusta, Ga., last Sunday. Robertson, who developed the defense treaty with Nationalist China in secret negotiations last year, said there was nothing new in the tense Formosa situation. As to whether his and Radford's visit resulted from an increased air buildup, he said that was "just a phase."

Just returned from a committee meeting (they are so few on campus) and we decided to design a model dormitory exclusively for raids. It's really great automatic firecrackers an d bombs and electric eyes to open every door. If this does not pan out, ETHEL'S door will open your eyes anyway with the galaxy of gifts awaiting you all the time! Mirror, mirror, not on the wall but in the compact that is the latest in modern design. Baked enaniel on copper with modern mo tifs that are abstract and at tractive. A little dash of the unusual tied in with the prac tical and you can get them in cigarette cases as well. We really dig the unique color and design effect. Good ex cuses to powder your nose in public! Another spring sport— . is polishing the auto. Think of all the fun you can have if you schedule home and away games and give 2 points for each whitewall. Equipment: A lamb's wool and flannel polishing mitt from ETHEL'S that fits like a glove. Good for bringing furniture sur faces to a high gloss, too, and I guess it could also sub for working out in the gym also. Soft, and lint-free, it leaves no scratches (or black and blue marks either). Redecorating your problem? It needn't be, when all you need is to add touches of light and color with lamps or toss pillows from ETHEL'S. Lamps, all shapes and sizes, will add soft glow to any room, tone down the wall colors in case you goofed and, remarkably, they can be used for reading or studying, if the mood strikes you. The pillows are gay and bouncy, bring out colors in printed slipcovers and also covers up cigarette burns. Small and compact for pillow fights, too! Got to hus tle now—grass growing cam paigns have cut out short curfews to compensate, don't curbs to compensate, don't you agree? See you at ETHEL'S. 111 I. (futile' aim. WTI COWIE. 11/11•
