Atomic Ashes Hit Japan
TOKYO Atomic particles, which are a result of a Russian
A-bomb test near the Arctic Circle, have been reported lalUng
on Japan This report was secured from Shigeyoshi Mdtsumae,
sn engineer who said he received his information from Ammcan
military quarters. The United States Far East Command offered
no comment on the situation. . , ..
Small quantities of radioactive ash fall on Japan about three
times every two weeks from Russian explosions in Siberia, the
Teport said. The United States has confirmed that Russia possesses
atomic bombs from these ashes. The ashes take three days to
reach Japan and take one week to circle the globe.
Westerly winds which prevail throughout the year could
cause these ashes to fall, the weathet bureau in Japan said.
GOP Agrees To Tax Cut
WASHINGTON Following the loss of a test in which a $100
million reduction was votefl on household appliances, Senate
Republican leaders regrouped forces against any further floor
cuts in excise taxes.
When the GOP loss became apparent, they agreed to accept
the household appliance cut. However, the possibility remains
that the appliance tax cut will be knocked out in a conference
with the House. The cut proposal is to lower the tax from 10 to
5 per cent.
Sen. Millikin (R-Colo), chairman of the Finance Committee,
said that the House would probably stand firm against going
below the 10 per cent level on most excises this year.

Discusses
Elections
Group States
Campaign Rules
Following a long discussion
Wednesday afternoon, the Stud
ent Council passed, by a vote of
22 to 2, a resolution investing
the elections committee with the
power to investigate and report
election violations to the judi
ciary committee which will rule
upon the validity of reported
campaign procedures.
The elections committee has
announced requirements of pub
licity used by candidates cam
paigning for Student Council
positions. This included, posters,
properly approved and posted;
classified ads in The Nebraskan;
sound trucks on .campus between
classes, and sandwich signs.
Candidates will be notified as
to the various rules.
THE COUNCIL moved and
seconded a motion to amend an
article of the constitution which
states "there shall be no cam
paigning in the buildings in
which the polling places are
located, to read "There shall be
no campaigning on election day."
However, in accordance with the
constitution, this motion will not
be voted upon until the next
meeting.
A motion to elect class officers
this year as it has been done
previously and as is stated in the
by-laws, was postponed until the
next meeting. The fate of the
bill will hinge on whether coun
cil members think the officers
hold positions in an organization
or if they are just honorary
posts.
The honors convocation com
mittee reported that there would
be no banquet held in connec

both agreed that it was an
