Wilson Backs Army's Stevens
WASHINGTON Secretary of Defense Charles Wilson has
backed the Army report charging Sen. McCarthy and Roy Cohn,
his chief counsel, of putting on the pressure for special treatment
of G. David Schine, drafted former aide.
Wilson also believes that McCarthy's counter-charge that
Secretary of the Army Stevens sought to have the investigation
f alleged Communism switched from the Army to other branches
of the service "was never a proper one and that it was never so.
"I have absolute and complete confidence in Stevens,' Wilson
told the Senate Armed Services Committee at a public hearing.
New H-Bcmb Blast Results
WASHINGTON Rep. Van Zandt (R-Pa) said American
scientists have broken through a log jam in the development of
hydrogen and atomic power, and that the achievement points to
accelerated development of both weapons and civilian power.
Rep Durham (D-NC) said the new bomb is such a horrible
thing it's best to tell the world about it. He estimated the bomb
blast at "several times" the strength of the first hydrogen
explosion on Nov., 1, 1952. .
Van Zandt said that the latest hydrogen explosion was
measured to be equal to between 12 and 14 million tons of TNT.
The explosion shot a cloud more than 17 miles into the air.
Federal Tax Aid To Education?
BUFFALO N Y. The time has come for Americans to
consider whether the states can or will meet serious educational
problems "without financial aid from federal taxation.'
Samuel M. Brownell, United States commissioner of educa
tion, also said, "Seen from the federal point of view the question
is very real as to whether or not the response of 70,000 school
districts and of 48 state legislatures will or can be great enough
in mobilizing the necessary action programs to provide essentia!
education for the security and well being of America. '
Brownell pointed out that despite vigorous efforts by the
states and local communities, there are "great inadequacies in
educational opportunities provided the youth of this nation.
Income Tax Bill Defeated
WASHINGTON A Democratic drive for a $2.5 billion annual
Income tax cut was defeated by a slim majority of House
Republicans. . . ,
Key Democrats planned a last ditch fight for their proposal
to increase income tax exemptions for each taxpayer by $100.
Republican leaders maintained a prediction that the move to
boost tax exemptions would fail. v President Eisenhower opposes
the tax exemption increase as a political maneuver upon the part
of those who support it.
Both sides agree that the general revision bill would pasr,
although some Democrats bitterly attacked parts of it.

An Advisory Board to consist of
Lalia American Communism Discussed
In Relation To Caracas Conference
Ross, Schneider Review Problem In Union Seminar
Communism as it exists in
Latin America, as well as some
of the specific implications of the
Caracas conference, were d i s
cussed at a Union Seminar Wed
nesday. Stanley R. Ross, assistant pro
fessor of history, gave a summary
of Communism in Latin America,
and Dr. Carl J. Schneider, assist
ant professor of political science,
reviewed several aspects of the
recent Caracas conference.
THREE FACTORS to be con
sidered in discussing the question
of Latin American communism
were presented by Ross. "First,"
he said, "it is necessary to real
ize that in these countries commu
nism is both an ideology and an
international organization or con
spiracy." Other factors which he pointed
out were the ability of the Com
munists to parallel the appeals of
other groups, and the expedient
aspect of their movement.
In attempting to estimate the
strength of the Communists in
Latin America, Ross brought out
several of the facts which make
it difficult to accurately approxi
mate .it. The facts that they are
vocal, that they are often con
fused with other groups and that
any opposition to the established
government tends to be labeled as
communistic by this country all
were cited as complications. 1
Of Dance' Theme Planned
Pre-Orchesis will add dances
based on folk themes. Men's
Orchesis is also working with
Orchesis to present a spirited
Tarantella and a comedy using
Kabaleousky's "The Comediens"
as the accompaniment.

Leverton Accepts Post
At Oklahoma A And M
Nutritionist Praised For NU Work
Dr. Ruth M. Leverton, profes
sor of home economics and di
rector of human nutrition re
search, has been appointed as
sistant director of experiment
stations at Oklahoma A&M Col
lege. Dr. Leverton, who will admin
ister the home economics phase
of the experiment station work,
will assume the duties of her
new post Sept. 1.
Her decision to leave Nebraska
was "very difficult to make,"
Dr. Leverton said. "I have
mixed feelings about leaving.
There are so many things here
I am fond of, but there are nice
opportunities at Oklahoma," she
added.
A MEMBER of the University
staff for 17 years, Dr. Leverton
inaugurated the human nutri
tion research program when she
joined the staff in 1937. She has
twice received the Borden
Award, a high-ranking achieve
ment in the home economics
field presented each year by the
American Home Economics As
sociation.' Dr. Leverton is the author of
numerous scientific papers. She
is author of a diet book, "Food
Becomes You," published by the
University of Nebraska Press,
and co-author of, "Your Diabetes
and How To Live With It."
ACTING CHANCELLOR John
K. Selleck and Dr. W. W. Lam
bert, dean of College of Agricul
ture, expressed regret over Dr.
Leverton's departure.
"She has earned an Interna
tional reputation in human nu
trition research," Selleck said.
"Her work has corrected many
of the early misunderstandings
about nutritional anemia and is
an
accurate reflection of the
quality of research the Univer
sity endeavors to encourage in
many areas," he said.
"She has made a great con
tribution to our home economics
program, and her recent studies
of animo acid requirements are
outstanding," Lambert said.
Ag Union Movie
"Dancing in the Dark" will be
the movie shown at the Ag Union
Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
The film stars William Powell,
Mark Stevens and Betsy Drake.
A record dance, sponsored by
the Ag Union Dance Committee,
will be held following the movie
in the Ag Union Social Room.
three faculty members, one ad
ministration representative, four
professional religious workers,
three representatives of the City
Campus Religious Council and
one representative of the Ag
Religious Council is being set up
in accordance with the new con
stitution of the Council on Reli
gion. DON BARTLETTT, Marv Fried
man and Sue Muelhaupt have
been elected to represent the City
Campus Religious Council.
The Council has voted to de
vote one meeting each month to
religious study. Marv Friedman,
president, said that by constitut
ing themselves as a study group,
the representatives hope not only
to increase their own religious
knowledge, but also to learn
techniques of leadership which
they will be able to use as study
group leaders.
"Probably only two-fifths
of 1 per cent of the population of
these countries are actually mem
bers of the Communist party," he
stated. "This number is not to be
sneered at, however," he added.
He then proceeded to give some
specific facts concerning the
strength of the party in different
Latin American countries.
Ross discussed Guatemala at
some length as an introduction to
the talk by Dr. Schneider. Guate
mala, Ross pointed out, is the
country where the Communists
have been able to gain the most
power. The explanation for this,
he noted, is mainly economic
rather than political. "In a coun
try which is so poor, the people
are not so much concerned with
the ideology of communism as
with the realities of food, clothing
and shelter," he said.
'
ROSS GAVE several additional
reasons for the Communists' suc
cess in Guatemala. He said they
have shown themselves to be
loyal supporters of any reform
movement by their willingness to
undertake the dirty jobs which
other groups refuse. Another rea
son he cited was the United
State's intervention into the coun
try.
After giving some specific ex
amples of Communist control over
that country, Ross turned the dis
cussion over to Dr. Schneider who
Orchesis are under the direction
of Mrs. Doyle Bladon and Miss
Margaret Fox, respectively. Mrs.
H. H, Flood is the accompanist.
Tickets may be obtained from
Orchesis members at Grant Me
morial or at the door on the
nights of performances.

WUS Plan

By 8 Clubs
Nucleus Groups
To Study, Talk
Foundations have been laid
for World University Service
"nucleus groups" at the Univer
sity". Membership in WUS consists
of 30 U.S. colleges. The purpose
of the campus organizations is to
study attitudes and motivations
in international relationships and
to investigate how to improve
relationships with foreign stu
dents. Jim Collins, chairman of the
WUS project at the University,
announced that eight organiza
tions will sponsor nucleus
groups. Groups having six to 15
member representations are:
Lutheran Student Association,
YWCA, YMCA, Religious Wel
fare Council, Hillel Foundation,
Newman Club, AUF and NU
CWA. FOUR OF the nucleus groups,
under the chairmanship of
Brock Dutton, will discuss the
first project. The topic of dis
cussion is: Foreign Students and
the Promotion of International
Understanding.
The other four groups will dis
cuss the second project: Utilizing
the Foreign Experiences of U.S.
Faculty and Students to Pro
mote International Understand
ing. Sue Muelhaupt was ap
pointed head of this discussion
project.
Miss Muelhaupt and Dutton
will appoint a chairman and a
record -r for each of the four
groups under their direction. The
recorder will keep an account of
the discussion. The members
will spend a minimum of six
hours in these discussion meet
ings. A QUESTIONNAIRE will be
provided the "nucleus groups" to
use in securing an expression of
campus attitudes and motiva
tions. Kay Burcum has been ap
pointed chairman of that project.
Miss Burcum said that sample
surveys of 400 students will be
taken through cooperation with .
Richard Videbeck, instructor in
sociology. On March 25 a report
(Continued on Page 4)
reviewed the Caracas conference.
Two main issues were presented
before the conference, Schneider
said. The United States' delega
tion was mainly interested in get
ting the Latin American countries
on record as opposed to Commu
nist subversion, he said. "The
other issue and the one in which
the Latin Americans were primar
ily interested was that of United
States intervention," he added.
THE DILEMMA which pre
sented itself at the conference, he
continued, was that the U.S. has
been subjected to criticism be
cause of its intervention and, on
the other hand, because of its
policy of extending aid to Europe
rather than our Southern neigh
bors. Dr. Schneider praised Dulles
handling of the conference, but
said that he doubted that the re
sulting resolution had added much
new hope because it doesn't pro
vide for any real action.
The economic implication of the
Communist problem in Latin
America was brought up again in
connection with a proposed eco
nomic conference which will be
held this summer.
Following the two speeches, the
group discussed the aspects of the
question informally, in a question
and answer period.
The next faculty seminar, spon
sored by the Union seminar com
mittee, will be held in two weeks.
