Praises Rise In
During Demo
Freedom from fear is the fore
most issue facing the voter when
he goes to the polls this Novem
ber 3, said Senator John Spark'
man in a speech Tuesday.
Sparkman, making an off-the'
cuff address at the University
Coliseum, did not say just what
fear the voter should be free
from.
He did give strong Indications
that two problems were of para
mount Importance in this year's ;
election: foreign relations, and
economic stability in the U. S.
Of foreign relations, the senator
said that he wanted peace, and
had a real knowledge of world
problems. He said that his expe
rience on the Foreign Relations
Committee in the Senate, and as
a United Nations representative,
had given him a clear insight into
the foreign relations problems
that we are facing today.
He said that it is most Im
portant that we let the under
privileged countries of the
world know that we are more
than willing to help them solve
the problems. Sparkman said
that our world today cannot
survive another war of the
same scope of the last World
War, with the terrible weapons
of destruction developed re
cently. Sparkman remarked that our
country has had a steady rise in
the welfare of all the people since
the Democrats took the govern
mental helm, 20 years ago,
Sparkman said, that as a farm
raised man, he knew the prob
lems that faced the American
fanners during the years just
before the Democratic rise to
power. He remembered lost sav
ings, and old people looking
forward to their unproductive
years with apprehension be-
. cause they had no good pension
system. Now, he said, we have
the Federal Deposit Insurance
plan, and Social Security to
avert such apprehension, despite
stiff Republican opposition to
both of these plans. .
Corruption is a major political
issue, Sparkman said. The
publican candidates have
much about corruption, but they,were based on two bills that are have occurred since the last meet

the most corrupt governments
ever known to this country when
they took office 20 years ago.
He called attention to Governor
Stevenson's corruption busting

Two Photographer Posts Remain Open
Pending Report By Adviser, Ken Keller
A report showing The Daily Ne-
braskan ended last year $4,210.84
in the red prompted the Commit
tee on Student Publications Tues
day afternoon to take a long, hard
look at the newspaper's financial
affairs.
The first result of the Com
mittee's attitude was a decision
to defer appointment of a staff
photographer, pending a report
from Ken R. Keller, Cornhusker
and Daily Nebraskan adviser.
Keller was instructed to see if
an economy plan could be de
veloped to curtail photographic
and engraving costs. A Quick
survey of costs indicated that
these two items cost The Daily
Nebraskan about $2,300. last
year.
Dr. R. V. Shumate, Committee
chairman, said that until Keller's
report is received, the committee
would also hold up appointment

ST. LOUIS Dana C Smith, trustee of Sen. Richard Nixon's
$18,235 expense fund, enlisted the aid of Nixon's Washington office
in connection with a tax refund claim, the Post Dispatch reported
Tuesday. The claims of $500,000 to $600,000 was filed by the Red
River Lumber Company of Northern California. Smith's family
cwns the firm and he is a stockholder and company attorney.
According to the newspaper, last year Smith was introduced
to an attorney in the Justice Department's Tax Division by John J.
Irwin, then an administrative assistant to Nixon. Smith confirmed
the statement but said it was only a routine request to the Senator's
office. He said Senator Nixon himself was not involved and that he
had never discussed the case with Nixon. Nix6n was not available

Nothing

Amid a flurry of rumors and
accusations concerning University
migration, band trips and Student

"nothing is official."
The Dean Monday night called a
1. That the University band
is definitely going to the Uni

2. That the band is definitely

3. That the administration has

the light of "the events which

Voico of a
Official
cil's nearly-unanimous vote In
favor of the Kansas migration.
Before the rumor concerning
the band s refusal to attend the
Kansas game was denied, Presi
dent White declared, "A migra
tion cannot be successful without
the band." He added that, if the
band did not go to Lawrence, a
migration as recommended by the
Council would be impossible.
Any action taken by the Coun
cil will go to the Faculty Sen
ate's Student Affairs Committee,
headed by Colbert for acceptance
or refusal. The Committee cannot
authorize an official migration
without a definite request from
the Council.
The calling of the Dean's
meeting seemed to indicate that
the committee has not consid
ered the Council's recommenda
tion and that it desires a fur
ther study into the opinions of
students.
The Council action last week
followed a discussion in which thenavian countries. Following these

was recommended by the Council
because of the low expense and
the possibility of large student
participation.
The opposition, however,
which has arisen during the
week against a Lawrence ex
pedition, together with reports
concerning the band's plans,
has seriously complicated and
clouded the migration issue.
White declared that the Coun
cil would probably recommend to
the administration that the of
ficial migration to KU, as pro
posed, be forgotten and that an
unofficial migration to Colorado

tion substitute this year.
