And there are some influential Republicans who would like to see any of these tickets reversed.” ‘lke Won’t Use Office’ lead of al scit day in isistant ! of the •ation. nember l for a assume month. However, Drummond says Pres ident Eisenhower will not use his "office of influence in behalf of the nomination of a member of his family. I would think it ac curate to say that while the Presi dent will not help Milton to either place on the 1956 ticket, he would not resist it; far from it.” Drummond says Dr. Eisenhower has "no trigger-happy interest in politics. His overriding purpose is to do all he can all the time, in the light of the special relation ship of trust between them" and “to assist his brother and relieve the President wherever he cap ... 'Proxy's Concern to Policies* Drummond says that Dr. Eisen hower’s concern, if President Eis enhower does not run, will be the same as his brother's—“to ensure the nomination of a man generally committed to the President’s poli cies and purposes. , .‘!He could be expected to-work energetically and even politically to produce this result and it is realistic, I think, to assume that he would be open to any place on the Republican ticket which would guarantee the continuation of what Dwight Eisenhower has stood for.” Drummond quotes President Eisenhower as saying: “I think I Would rather take Milton’s views than those of anyone else. He’s a unique brother.” Dr. Eisenhower has placed high in polls conducted to determine whom the public would like see receive the nomination if his bro ther decides against running, Drummond says.

Eisen hower laid before Congress today a massive "program for the Republic” that contem plates a balanced budget, a token payment on the national debt, but no tax cuts now.- In language paralleling that of some leaders of both' parties in Congress, Eisenhower spoke against, lowering taxes at the ex pense of “fiscal integrity” and a balanced budget; against "going further into debt to give ourselves a tax cut at the expense of our children.” Forecasts Income He forecast that government in come will match outgo by mid year, and said he would propose a continued balance for the year following. ullje Hatty VOL. 56. No. 67 STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY 6. 1956 FIVE CENTS More Time Sought Between Semesters Students might be given more time between the fall and spring semesters next year because of the rush which occurs prior to registration each February. The administration anticipates the usual amount of confusion and drop-adds as the spring semester gets underway and it is preparing to eliminate the trouble for next year. Adrian O. Morse, University provost, told the University Senate yesterday that “something will have to be done” about the situation early next semester. He asked the faculty members to “bear with it” this year but to mitigate the rush by handing grades in promptly. Even with this cooperat Coed Placed On Probation For Plagiarism A woman student in the College of Home Economics, found guilty of academic dishonesty involving plagiarism, has been placed on disciplinary probation for one year. The disciplinary action, an nounced yesterday by Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs, was taken by the commit tee on academic honesty in the College of Home Economics. The student was the fifth to be penalized under the present aca demic honesty policy. Earlier this week Dean of Men Frank J. Simes announced ■ that a third semester student in the division of inter mediate registration was' given the same punishment for cribbing. Disciplinary probation prohibits a student-from 'participating—in extra-curricular activities. The action is recorded on the student’s transcript and notification is sent to the Dean of Women, the student’s dean, and adviser, and her parents. A second offense leads to sus pension.

BULLETIN PITTSBURGH, Jan. 5 V P)— Weslinghouse Electric Corp. to day rejected a federal media tion and conciliation service recommendation that disputed issues in a 12-week-old strike be submitted to a fact finding board. Instead the company proposed a secret ballot by striking workers on a motion to end' the walkout. Many Republicans and some Democrats applauded that, but the reaction to the message in general was the usual melange of plaudits and digs, keyed pretty much to party allegiances in this election year Congress. ' The presidential report encom passed recommendations some new, some old, most of them ad vertised in advance—for a step ped-up, “many-sided attack” on the farm problem, for highway, school, Rousing, health and dis aster relief programs.

Morse, who was chairman in the absence of Dr. Milton S. Eisen hower, made the observation after a report by the scholastic calendar committee. Morse said he believed every one in the room would agree that more time is needed between se mesters, but he doubted whether the majority could agree on where the extra time should come from. It would have to be taken from one of the holiday periods or from the summer vacation, he said. A faculty member suggested from the floor that the fall se mester end before the Christmas- New Year vacation. Asked whether he was talking about adopting a quarter-sessions system, he replied in the negative and said the two-semester plan as practiced at several universities has the first term .end before Christmas;' It was the only discussion on the subject." Under old business, the Com mittee on Student Affairs gave a progress report on the proposed amendments to the academic hon esty policy. The committee held a general discussion meeting on Dec. 15 when most present agreed that perhaps “a year or more” might be needed to study the pro posals fully. Another meeting is scheduled for later this month, and a report is expected to be submitted at the next Senate meeting on Feb. 9. Leader Indirectly Backs Net Income Tax Levy HARRISBURG, Jan. 5 <JP) — Gov. Leader today indirectly en dorsed the 2 per cent personal net income tax plan and described it as “a fairly decent type of tax.” “At this point it’s a legislative project,” he told his weekly news conference. “I would have no dif ficulty with my conscience to sign this bill.” At the same time the governor said it would be “about Feb. 10” before more than 2100 school dis tricts will receive state aid checks due them since last Oct. 31. warranted economic pressures.” With Russia’s leaders following “tactics of retreat and zigzag” and still unwilling “to create the in dispensable conditions for a se cure and lasting peace,” Eisen hower proposed “constant im provement” of America’s defenses and those of the free world. ■ Asks Foreign Aid Boost He backed this up with a bid for limited authority to make longer-term foreign aid commit ments, a request for a substantial boost in funds to spread under standing of America through the U.S. Information Agency, and a promise to keep up the pressure against the “vast wrongs” of-a di vided Germany, the “bondage of millions elsewhere, and the exclu sion of Japan from United Na tions membership.” The 8,500-Word document was plunked down in Senate and (Continued on page two) (Mlwjtan 10 Will Skate In Ice Show At TIM Mixer Ten students have taken parts in the ice skating show to be pre sented at the Town Independent Men’s Mixer from 8 to 10 p.m. f Friday, Feb. 17.
