With the support of liberal union leader, John L. Lewis and his CIO, behind him, Montana's senior senator has risen to a prominent position in the Democratic party presidential race.

The far western senator stated after he first announced his candidacy last January that he would not be in the running should the Chief Executive choose to make his tyd for White House tenancy during the next four years. Born of a staid Quaker stock which had settled in the green village of Hud son, Massachusetts since the Revolu tion, Burton Wheeler received his edu cation in a Boston law office, and then went west to finish his schooling at the University of Michigan.

Clark specifically mentioned that Communism is strong at Carolina and at Emory University, ahough he did not definitely request that they be investigated. He wrote Dies some time ago and had not heard from him when the announcement of the in vestigation here was made. Dies did not attribute his probe here to Clark alone but said the he had several com plaints. Dean of Students F. F.

Mitchell Britt (SP) waa boosted in to within nine votes of Bill Cochrane (UP) in a struggle between party veterans for speaker of the student legislature 1144 to 1153, while Leonard Lobred (SP) whittled down to one vote the lead of Richard Morris (UP) for senior representative to the Pub lications Union board.
