Journalism Department Accredited Accrediting of the University School of Journalism was an nounced by the American Council on Education for Journalism Mon day in Chicago. Nebraska had not sought accredi tation earlier because of a 1948-53 moratorium on all accrediting vis its to the University, Dr. Wil liam F. Swindler, director of the School of Journalism, said. This will entail no change in professional work in the journalism, Dr. Swindler said. The accredi tation is an endorsement of the certificate of journalism program over the straight journalism major. "It is naturally gratifying to have this recognition of the professional strength of our curriculum," Dr. Swindler said. The Outside World' Austria Almost Free By DICK Staff Writer The Western Big Three virtually agreed Sunday to sign an Austrian Independence treaty within the next few days and weighed moves for a top level conference with the Soviets this summer on a German set tlement and other European problems. Britain and France are both reportedly pressing for a conference between the heads of state of the Big Four. An American informant said Monday that President Eisenhower would be willing to attend a very brief conference. However, there has been no word from the White House on the matter. The biggest area of dispute on conference plans deals with or ganization. The British and French want a top level conference first, to be followed by meetings of foreign ministers to work out any proposals coming out of the conference. The United States position has been that such-a conference would be more effective if the foreign ministers met first and laid the groundwork. House Passes Postal Pay Raise Postal workers were voted a $179 million pay raise by the House. The bill goes next to the Senate, where approval seems likely. The pay raise bill, which provides a minimum of 7 per cent for postal employees, is a compromise of the original Senate-House versions. Group Urges Defense Plan The government has been called on to create a "GHQ of non military defense" to plan and administer the nation's survival in the face of an all-out nuclear attack. The National Planning Association, a private study group, declared the country is dangerously weak, confused and uninformed about what it would have to do to keep producing and fighting despite widespread, radioactive fogs. The association emphasized that knowledge abroad that an initial nuclear blow would not completely cripple the United States would be a big deterrent against such an attack.

Last year, the May band played for the Inter fraternity Council Ball. It played in 1952 for the Military Ball. May stepped down as leader of his band in 1953 when he signed an exclusive contract with a re cording company. His permanent residence is in Hollywood, Calif. May still does all the arranging tor the band, in addition to re cording. Sam Donahue, noted as one of the country's foremost players of the tenor saxophone, was selected to succeed him, May said, because of his wide and varied background.

Donahue's group be came the core of future Donahue conducted bands. Before being drafted into the Navy, Donahue toured with his own band. After being drafted, Donahue continued playing on the Armed Services Network. When war ended, Donahue re gathered his own band and com pleted a successful tour of the country. During the Korean War, he served in the Navy and ar ranged for Navy bands. In 1951, the tenor saxophonist became assistant leader of Tommy Dorsey's band.
