Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, June 3, 1954 "HE! Ike Says Administration Is Beating Communists WASHINGTON, June 3 — — President Eisenhower, asserting the supremacy of the executive branch in fighting communism, said yesterday the administration has rolled up an impressive record in that field—“quietly and unrelent- lessly” and “under due process of law.” Barring questions about Sen. McCarthy, Eisenhower issued at a crowded news confei’ence a 16- month record of the blows execu tive agencies have aimed at com munism. These included convic tions and indictments of Red lead ers, deportations, and expansion of the list of subversive organiza tions. The President , reaffirmed . his backing of Atty. Gen. Brownell’s statement of last week which ac cused McCarthy of trying to “set himself above the laws of our land” in inviting secret data from government workers. But Eisenhower ruled out news men’s questions about the conflict between the administration and McCarthy. He asserted he has said his last word on that subject, un less something happens that makes himt hink he has to say some thing more. Henceforth, he said, he will have just one aim and idea: To win enactment of the administration’s legislative program, which he has called progressive and “dynamic” but parts of which have hit snags in Congress. When a newsman came back with the question whether McCar thy was “hurting” the program, a look of annoyance overspread the President’s face and he snap ped: Next question. Otherwise Eisenhower spoke readily on a variety of issues, say ing that he: 1. Has reached no decision on such proposals as a request to Congress for a resolution authoriz- ig direct American intervention in Southeast Asia, menaced by Com munist aggression. 2. Would reserve comment on the 2-1 recommendation of a se- cui*ity board that atomic scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer be denied access to atomic secrets. The Pres ident again mentioned his great admiration for Oppenheimer’s achievements, but said the White House should not intervene until the quasi-judicial process is com plete. The Atomic Energy Com mission has yet to make its de cision on the case. 3. Positively will not compro mise the principles of his flexible farm price support program, de spite some reports from Capitol Hill that a compromise appears inevitable. Eisenhower said, how ever, that he does not consider all details of his program sacro sanct. Stranger Makes A Big Hit ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Joe Carolan of Detroit paid his way into the ball park at Columbus, Ga., to watch the Sally League Red Birds play. The 21-year-old sought the busi ness manager and asked for a try out with the club. Carolan got his tiyout under the eye of manager George Kissell who watched the kid run, throw and hit. When the 6 feet 4 youngster slam med three balls out of the park, Kissell recommended a contract. This night Carolan made his professional debut. His Tirst ap pearance came in the second inn ing with the bases loaded. He smacked a grand slam homer. But the Birds lost in the 20th inning, 5-4. The Red Birds are a farm team of the- St. Louis Cardinals.

Diplomatic officials who import ed this today said the evacuation of American Air Force personnel in no way should be regarded as a lessening of American interest in the future of Red-threatened Indochina.

Plane Flies Straight Up MOFFETT FIELD, Calif.—(ZP)— An airplane took off vertically from the floor of a huge dirigible hangar and flew staright up Wed nesday in the first public demon stration of a strange new aircraft fostered by the Navy. With a veteran test pilot at the controls and lying on his back, the powerful craft swayed and maneuvered in the canyon-like building for about 12 minutes. This craft is the Navy’s Convair XFY-1. This was its 19th flight. The others have been made pri vately. The great hangar, which used to house Navy dirigibles, was chosen for the historic showing because of its enormous size, which gave the plane enough room to maneuver as well as facilities for anchoring safety leashes. The XFY-1 was designed for vertical takeoff and horizontal flying. Thus far it has not been put into horizontal position dur ing flight. Gradually it will be freed from its leashes until hori zontal takeoff and level flight are achieved. Many of the plane’s specifica tions are secret. Its rated speed is 500 MPH. It has two 16-foot pro pellers \yhich revolve in opposite directions. The counter-rotation prevents the plane from spinning. It has no landing gear; only caster like wheels at the rear of its wing- tips and rudder assembly. Its nor mal position aground is nose-up.

Duval Investigation May Cover Attorneys SAN DIEGO, Texas—UP)—The Duval County grand jury Wednes day said its investigation of handl ing of county and school district funds will “likely as a matter of course” include the district and county attorneys, and the conduct of their offices. Negros Refused By College TEXARKANA, Texas—UP)—The dean of Texarkana College Wednes day refused to admit a group of Negroes as students. Dean W. P. Akin said he was following instructions from State Education Commissioner, J. W. Edgar in planning the 1954-55 school year on the basis of con tinued segregation. About a dozen Negroes sought admission to the tax-supported jun ior college. They were accompanied by John J. Jones, Negro undertak er and political leader. Jones told a reporter afterward that the Negroes had no plans now to make any more attempts to enter the school. - Their application was the first attempt by Negroes to enter a white school here since the United States Supreme Court ruled that segregation must cease. The court has not yet decided when and how to enforce its de cree. Akin told the group Texarkana College is pai’t of the Texas public school system. He said Edgar has instructed all Texas school districts to plan the next year as a segre gated one. This is one of the reasons, the jury said in a report, it did not desire the services or the presence in the grand jury room of either the district attorney or the Duval County attorney. The jury said it would call on these two officers from time to time on other matters involving law violations and set Monday, June 7, at 9:30 AM for the two officers to appear before it. The district attorney is Raeburn Norris, who is aligned with George Parr, disputed political leader of the area. Parr supporters had op posed bitterly the empaneling of the new grand jury, which met for the first time Tuesday. The county attorney is R. F. Luna. State Atty. Gen. John Ben Shep- perd and three of his assistants met with the jury Wednesday. Shepperd was with it for 20 min utes Tuesday.’ WANTED: LEAN HOGS CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — <ZP) — The porker that will lift the mortgage in the future will have plenty of lean meat under his hide says R. L. Coppersmith, University of Illi nois farm marketing specialist. The demand is strictly for red meat without fat, he said. The school’s College of Agricul ture is taking the lead in promot ing the hog most in demand. Work ing with the Departments of Agri culture and Animal Science, Cop persmith has organized marketing conferences at the stockyards for packer buyers, order buyers and commission salesmen. Country-wide meetings will be held for farmers to encourage production of meat- type hogs. “It is a matter of selection with in a breed,” says Coppersmith. SPECIALS STARTING 4 p. m.
