Sgt. O'Connor said Wectnesday
the photographs will be take
with a Speed Graphic camera.
This camera, rather than the
larger K-19 aerial camera, was
decided upon on the results of a
flight made on Monday, Sgt. O'-
Connor said.
To produce better results, he
said, the plane would fly at about
double the altitude used on Mon
day's flight. The pictures taken
then did not turn out as well as
they should have, he said. Mon

campus.
The Norwegian maples, Walter
W. Trainer, head of the landscape
construction an d maintenance,
said, have recently succumbed to
"tree old age."
His division, he said, has been
treating and pruning them for
several years now to make them
last as long as possible, but he
doesn't think they'll live more
another five of eight years.
"But by the time they fold un
der," Trainer said, "we expect to
have developed enough new
plantings."
The new trees put in yesterday
were four sugar maples and one
red gum.
The spraying of the trees on
the Mall is completed now, Train
er said.
The primary purpose of the
spraying is to prevent the
dreaded Dutch elm disease. This
disease has killed a number of
trees in the area.
The Mall's trees—America n
elms—are between 77 and 96
years old. Planting of them be
gan in 1861 to replace the old
silver maples that were dying off.
By 1871 the silver maples had
been cut down and by 1880 all of

2 Penalized
For Addition
Of Credits
Two eighth semester students
have been penalized by the Sen
ate subcommittee on discipline
for illegally adding credits to reg
,istration documents.
One of the two, a senior in civil
engineering, added six credits to
his registration card after his ad
vista had approved his schedule.
He was permitted by his adviser
to schedule only 18 credits, but,
needing 24 credits for graduation,
he himself added the extra six.
The Senate subcommittee re
quired him to drop the six credits,
also ruling that he could not at
tend the 1957 summer session nor
, could he gain the extra six credits
by taking them at some other
school.
The other student, a senior in
hotel administration, added three
credits to his schedule after it had
been signed by his advisor. He,
too, needed the extra credits for
graduation in June and had been
limited to 18 by his advisor.
The subcommittee ruled that he
can noi, attend the 1957 summer
session until after the main ses
sion is completed, nor can he ob
tain the credits through some
other school.
Students Receive
2000 Salk Shots
More than 2000 Salk polio shots
have been given University stu
dents this semester, many of them
second injections in the three
shot series.
The third shot may have to be
administered by the student's
home physician because of the
eight-month time lapse between
the first and third shots. The Uni
versity Health Service began its
program in January.
Any graduate or undergraduate
student in good health may re
ceive the shots for $l. A letter of
parental permission for minors
must be mailed to the Health
Service from the student's home
town.

'Calls Meeting
On Question
WASHINGTON, March 28
(W)—Congressmen trying to
write a "temporary presi
`dericy" law are to get the
views tomorrow of the per
son most directly concerned
at the moment—President DWight
,D. Eisenhower.
Eisenhower has called in the
leaders of both parties to a con
ference tomorrow to discuss rec
ommendations he expects to send
to Congress to "see if there are
any more suggestions."
The problem is how to spell out
something which the framers of
the Constitution apparently in
tended but never did make clear:
Acting President
That when a president is tempo
rarily incapacitated, by illness or
conceivably by some calamity like
capture by an enemy, the vice
president should take aver as act
ing president—to step down as
soon as the president is again able
to act.
Eisenhower several times has
said publicly, before and after his
illness, that in the present age of
emergencies, Congress should pro
vide for this particular emergen
cy. But he has never offered spe
cific suggestions for legislation.
Press secretary James C. Hag
erty told newsmen the Eisenhow
er proposals will certainly go to
Congress before the Easter recess
which will start April 18.
Brownell to Appear
A special House Judiciary sub
committee which has been work
ing on the subject more than a
year has invited Atty. Gen. Her
bert Brownell to appear Monday,
or as soon thereafter as conven
ient, to give the administration
view.
Some usually well-informed
members say they believe the Ei
senhower administration is pre
pared to recommend: .
1. That the law should provide
for the vice president to become
acting president whenever the
president himself certifies that he
is unable to perform his duties.
2. That provision be made for
the president to announce the re
moval of the disability and to re
sume his duties.
3. That clear provisions along
these lines be written into the
'Constitution by amendment.
trophy and bronze plaque were
given to the sing winners. In or
aer to retire one of these trophies.
a fraternity or sorority had to win
the sing for three consecutive
years.
Both Kappa Alpha Theta and
Tau Kappa Epsilon obtained per
manent possession of the trophies
in last year's competition. For
the TKE's, it was their second
trophy. They began their winning
streak in 1951.
Presentation of the sing tro
phies. along with other awards,
will be made at the IFC-Pan
hel Banquet Thursday night at
the Nittany Lion Inn.
Judges for tonight's finals will
be Dr. Gerald M. Torkelson, as
sistant professor of visual educa
tion; Frank Guile, associate pro
fessor of music; Mrs. E. Scott Ros
