Recession
Aids Include
R.R.Support
WASHINGTON (?P) The
campaign against the reces
sion yesterday produced an
administration plan to help
the railroads, plus new argu
ments for and against cutting
taxes.
Secretary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks presented the railroad plan
to Congress with the approval of
President Eisenhower.
Under it, the government would I
authorize guarantees of up to 700
million dollars or loans which the
roads would u e to improve and
modernize th it facilities and
equipment.
The plan topped short of
meeting one request urgently
advanced by he railroads, for.,
repeal of the per cent federal
tax on fireighf and 10 per cent
on passenger fares.
Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney (D-
Wyo) called meanwhile for re
peal of federal transportation
taxes, saying:
"The excise tax was put on
automobiles, '-other commodities
and transportation at a time when
the government was trying to re
duce civilian business, in order
that the war effort not be de
terred.
"There is certainly little sense
In retaining an excise tax de
signed to hold down business
when our primary purpose must
be to expand business."
A visitor to Washington, Gov.
Mennen Williams of Michigan,
said he would prefer vast public
work to a tax cut as a way to
cure the recession. But if there is
a cut, he told the House Banking
Committee, it should go to the
smaller taxpayes.
In another ldte development,
the House Ways and Means
Committee formally reported to
the House a I I A billion dollar
unemployment relief bill.
It would provide, by means of
federal grants, an additional 16
weeks of jobless pay benefits.
Secretary of Labor James P.
Mitchell got out a statement say
ing the committee bill "would
do a great disservice to the un
employed people of the United
States."
"It is clearly unworkable and
impractical," he added "the com
mittee's proposal will seriously
delay, if not destroy, the admin
istration's efforts to get money
quickly to those unemployed
workers, covered by unemploy
ment insurance, who have ex
hausted their benefits."

`Second Chance'
Given to 40 Coeds
In Raid Aftermath
Dean. of Women Pearl 0. Weston has placed about 40
of the 73 residents of women's building on disciplinary pro
bation—a measure she cal-led giving the coeds a "second
chance"—for abetting Sunday night's "panty raid" on the
dormitory.
Miss Weston said the probation is not placed on the coeds'
record and no immediate penalty
is involved: "If she behaves her
self and she commits no other
offense, nothing comes of it."
Probation was given all the
women in the dormitory at the
time of the raid except two, whom
Miss Weston described as "per
fect little ladies." None of the
women who were not in the build
ing at the time were given the
penalty.
Miss Weston told the women
at a dormitory meeting Monday
night that she will keep the list
of those on probation on her
desk until the end of . the
semester. Future violations will
be reported not to judicial but
directly to her, she said.
She said if at the end of the
semester an y of t h e women'sl
averages are "on the fence," they
will not be allowed to continue
as students.
In what she later described asi
a "motherly talk," Miss Weston'
told the coeds, "It takes two to
have a raid; some on the outside
and ~some on the inside. It makes
you sick 'way down inside to
realize that the girls did that"
"You acted as if you didn't
know the horrors of boys going
on a raid." She said two worn
' en were injured in a previous
raid and "are not the same to
this day" and consequently the
people of State College "still
shudder at the word 'raid.' "
Miss Weston, who described her
reaction to the raid as "terribly,
terribly disappointed," said Dean
of Men Frank J. Simes told her,
"You should find the ringleaders
and send them home."
With one-third of the dormitory
residents "in scholastic straits,"
she said, "to think of freshman
women dating on weekday nights
is terrible." She called Sundays
through Thursdays study nights
when "girls should not be throw
ing away parents' money by
loitering around the dorm."
She said that when she ar
rived half an hour early for the
meeting she' was "amazed at
the number of girls flattened
against the wall of the porch."
' necking.
Miss Weston, described herself
as proud of being a graduate' of
the University. She said freshman
women come here as buds - and
open as charming flowers by the
time they are ready to•graduate.
"Nothing is nicer than a lovely
young woman," she said.
Asked by a coed•at the meeting
if she did not think any other
women Would have acted similar
ly in the same situation, Miss
Weston replied that the coeds in
McElwain and Simmons Halls
would not have done so.
The dean suggested that some
of the coeds' mothers were mis
taken in their concept Of their
daughters. She advised the coeds
to return to "the solitude , of your
rooms and decide what type of
girls you want to be."
