Hearing Set
For Frosh

cuted for having a car on campus

fairs Subcommittee on Discipline.

said yesterday that the student

were cleared of charges. One stu
dent turned out to be a sopho
more. Sophomores are not subject

longing to relatives who had the
cars in the borough for a short
time only.
Freshman discovered with cars

State College are subject to sus
pension.

apply to them.

Molotov Asks Red-Rukd Germany
GENEVA, Nov. 8 (iP)—So-'
viet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov stunned the Big Four
conference tonight with a
thunderous demand for Com
munist dominance in a United
Germany,
The Western Allies immediately
obtained a recess until tomorrow.
A French delegation officer said
"tomorrow's meeting could be the
last."
"If Molotov maintains his posi
tion, including his statement that
Russia does not intend to submit
any other proposals on German
unification, it is difficult to see
how the West could make any
agreement or compromise on any
other front in the agenda," the
French official said.

any plan to unify Germany by
free electiong in the foreseeable
future And his blunt demand that
all Germany follow the Commun
ist course of the East German re
gime demolished Western hopes
of conciliation, built up by his
Moscow remark last night that he
was bringing back "better bag
gage" to Geneva.
U.S. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles told the conference:
"What Mr. Molotov has said
seems so serious in terms of the
directive of our heads of govern
ment and the hopes with which
we came here, that P prefer to
study the matter overnight before
speaking."
French Foreign Minister An
toine Pinay and the British For
eign Secretary Harold Macmillan
agreed.
Western press officers jointly
announced after the session that

Little Theater
Series to Open
The Director's Theater, under
the auspices of the Experimental
Theater, will present a scene from
"Italian Straw Hat" at 5 p.m. to
morrow in the Little Theater in
the basement of Old Main.
The 19th century French farce
by Gene Labiche and Mare Mi
chel will be directed by Paul Tal
ley, graduate in dramatics from
Oil City. This presentatioh is the
first in a series of five o'clocks
to be presented on Thursdays.
The cast includes Betty Rice,
Millis Mershon, Mary Taylor,
James Carroll, Walter Vail. Other
members are David Faust, Domi
hick Landro, Richard Land, and
John Thomas.
The Experimental Theater pre,
sentation of scenes from "King
Lear" was canceled because the
cast could not be completed with
appropriate actors for the parts.
the initial allied impression of
Molotov's speech is that it "tears
up" the directive of the summit
conference last July.
"It indicates," they said, "a de
termination by the Soviet Union
to accept no settlement of the
German problem that does not
involve the communization of all
Germany."
Molotov denounced the West's
proposal of last Friday for Ger
many's unification by free elec
tions in September 1956. He called
it "unreal and dangerous," reviv
ing militarism and capitalism in
all Germany and directing these
forces against the Soviet Union.
He said Germany unity can
only be achieved when the Ger
mans in East and West "find a
common language and take the
task of preparing the settlement
in their own hands."

Vote Shows
212 Margin
By JACK MELDER
Unofficial election results
revealed late last night that
the voters of State College had
approved the measure provid
ing for the showing of movies
after 2 p.m. on Sunday by a mar
gin of 212 votes.
The unofficial vote was 2006
for Sunday movies; 1784 against.
Thirty-one ballots were thrown
out because they were mis
marked.
The 212-vote margin is the
largest spread either way on the
measure which had been defeate4l
in preyious elections in 1947 and
1951.
Actually, there was little cam
paigning done by either side in
this year's election with the ex
ception of a heavy flow of last
minute pleas circulated by both
sides.
No Church Stand
The State College Council of
Churches, which represents many
Protestant churches in the bor
ough, took no official action in
the campaign.
A group of ministers did come
out against the measure near the
end of the campaign.
The Rev. Melvin Whitmire,
Evangelical United Brethren
Church, acted as chairman for
the group. He could not be
reached for comment late last
night.
The Rev. Frank Montgomery,
St. Paul's Methodist Church, a
member of the group, was reached
but he had no comment to make.
Kneebone Remains Silent
Leon Kneebone, president of
the State College Council of
Churches, said last night he
had nothing to say about the
results. He said the group had
studied the question and decided
to take no official action.
Many of the ministers of the
borough were split on the ques
tion and some of them took in
dependent action, Kneebone said.
A breakdown of the unofficial
tabulation shows the voters in
the North and South precincts
were largely responsible for ap
proving the measure.
3 Precincts Against
In three of the precincts—East,
East Central, and West Central—
the measure was defeated.
The West precinct passed the
mbasure by a margin of 12 votes.
Thirty-one of the votes cast were
discounted because they were
mismarked.
The voting in the West precinct
was significant since it has been
largely responsible for the meas
ure being defeated in the past
two elections.
Following is a breakdown of
the 3821 votes cast in yesterday's
election:
