Appeals For Support
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25. L
President Eisenhower, appealin
for nationwide support of his for
eign aid program, described it to
night as "not a maneuver carried
out by a dictator" but an expres
sion of goodwill and common
sense.
Kisenhower climaxed a day-long
conference organized by the Ad
ministration in behalf of the $3,
900,000.000 aid program. The Pres
ident said that under present con
ditions the urgency of both mutual
security and reciprocal trade
agreements legislation "leaves r.o
margin for error."

Hugh Holman Succeeds MacMillian
As Chairman Of English Department
Changes Mind;
Seek Re-Election
RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 25. tff Sen. Harry Flood Byrd (D-Va) re
versed today an announced decision to retire.
Byrd, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and a long-time
advocate of fiscal conservatism, said he would seek a fifth term. He
announced his decision in a message to the General Assembly of Vir
ginia. It quoted a statement of consent from Mrs. Byrd whose illness was
given as the reason in his retirement statement Feb. 12. She has been
going to Washington in an ambulance.
Today's message was greeted with applause in the Assembly which
had asked him to reconsider retirement. Gov. J. Lindsay Almond
i hastened to offer unqualified support. Four former Virginia governors
i who had joined in a request that he run again expressed gratification.
( Sen. Frear (D-Del) interrupted a meeting of the Finance Committee
1 in Washington to announce that
Byrd would run again. Sens. Mar
tin (R-Pa) and Williams (R-Del)
joined Frear in expressing pleas
ure. Many Letters and Telegrams
Byrd's statement to the Assem
bly here indicated he had received
hundreds of letters and telegrams
from individuals in Virginia and
other states asking him to run
again.
It is' known that many came
from those who approve his fiscal
policies and also from persons who
support his "massive resistance"
policy to the supreme court's de
cree for desegregation jfn the
scnooisr --" -
Republicans in the Virginia As
sembly went along with a resolu
tion of praise for Byrd on Feb. 12
but Sen. Ted Dalton. twice a Re
publican candidate for governor,
said the minority could not vote
for an amendment asking him to
reconsider. The Republicans may
nominate a candidate" to oppose
him in a convention probably to
be held in June.
Curtails Contest
But the announcement calmed
Democratic politics in Virginia and
abruptly ended a rapidly shaping
contest between former Governors
John S. Battle and William M.
Tuck for the nomination to suc
ceed him. Both issued statements
of pleasure at his 'decision.

Controversy Flares Up
Over Student Housing
RALEIGH, Feb. 25. lift A statement from the State Board of Higher
Education in its row with trustees of the Consolidated University of
North Carolina is expected within the next few days.
This was indicated today by Dr. J. Harris Furks, the state's Director
of Higher Education. He conferred by telephone with members of the
higher education board about criticism of the board voiced at a meet
ing of the UNO trustees yesterday in Greensboro.
Dr. Furks said, "It's very likely" that the board will issue a state
ment. He declined to make any comment himself and said that "Any
statement with respect to these matters will come from the board."
The board's chairman, D. Hiden Ramsey of Asheville, commented sim
ilarly. Discontent of the trustees with the new higher education board
flared into the open as the result of a dispute over the provision of
quarters for married students at
North, Carolina State College.
'"Careful consideration" was recom
mended in the planning and construction
on a seli-liquidatin basis (should) be
thoroughly re-examined." The report ex
plained that this is in connection with
adding more facilities without increasing
room rent.
Other liecoin meiidatiotis
The other items included rcrom
menrtafiorn fonoeminsf - the - neetl for . a
School ol Public Health Building, re
search leaves and emphasis on the Gradu
ate School in the Long-Range Planning
Program.
In its report the Committee pointed
out that Graham Memorial was built in
the late i)-o's when the enrollment was
'barely oer ;;,ooo students." The present
student union facilities arc now "grossly
inadequate to meet the minimum social
and recreational needs," the report said.
