Ross took the vitness stand. But
the subcommittee granted his re
quest to be heard in a closed ses
sion, on his plea that what he said
might defame or injure someone.
Patty, a pretty little miss with
wavy brown hair down to her
shoulders, dressed in white
blouse and grey jumper, sat at
one end of the subcommittee
table in the House Caucus Room
while a film was run off.
It showed the round in which
she and another young stage star,
Eddie Hodges, reached the $64,000
mark. Each answered all the ques
tions and they split the money.
After the movie, Rpss and Patty
were questioned in a two-hour clos

In contrast with Mondays' dram

deck stacking on the NBC "Twenty

empty seats for today's public

Cugat, togged out in an expen

said that he got all the questions

"I did it strictly, strictly for

the course of the historic steel

There was no indication when the
high court may hand: down its de
cision, but it was not expected to
delay long with the steel mill shut
down 112 days old.

Honor Council
Investigates
Fraudulent Bid
The Men's Honor Council is con
ducting a full-scale investigation
concerning ithe sale of counterfeit
bids to Friday's Kingston Trio con
cert.
Approximately fifteen crudely
printed bogus tickets were detect
ed at the door, and the holders
questioned. These people were ad
mitted to the performance after ev
eryone else had been seated.
"To the best of my knowledge,"
stated Germans Club President Jon
athan Yardley," no students hold
ing the counterfeit bids were guil
ty of falsifying them themselves."
Although the Germans Club does
not plan to press charges, the mat
ter now rests with the Honor Coun
cil. Council Chairman Hugh Patter
son :has stated that no decision has
been reached as to the nature of
the penalties, if any.
Solicitor General J. Lee Rankin
said that in passing the law, with
its strike-ending emergency mach
inery, Congress sought to protect
the interest of all the nation rath
er than either labor or manage
ment. Their arguments took more than
four hours.
All nine justices, in their black
robes, were seated behind their
long bench to hear the steelworkers
appeal from a Federal District
Court injunction that would send
500,000 strikers back to the steel
mills at least for 80 days.
That order was issued two weeks
ago tomorrow by Federal Judge
Herbert Sorg in Pittsburgh, and up
held by an Appeals Court in Phil
adelphia last week. But the injunc
tion will not go into effect at leas
until the Supreme Court rules on
the Union's appeal.

an attentive bench, the union's

Van Doren Casts Shadow
On US, Capitalism
By ADELAIDE CROM ARTIE
The Van Doren incident casts an
other shadow on capitalism and the
United States, according to Max R.
Grossman, speaker at the Press
Club Monday night.
Grosman, a cultural planning of
ficer for the United States Informa
tion Agency, was connected w7ith
the Department of Journalism at
Boston University from 1929 to 1947.
and headed it from 1939 to 1947. He
is an expert on Austrian and Ger
man newspapers.
Foreign countries will view the
Van Doren story as they did the
Little Rock incident.
But the USIA, according to
Grossman, will not try to hide this
story. Truth comes first with the
Agency and foreign countries will
learn of Van Doren through ac
curate information supplied by the
Agency.
Grosman mentioned foreign serv
ice job . opportunities with USIA
noting that a B.A. degree plus a
Masters degree or five years of
newspaper experince are prere
quisites for application.
Forty out cf every 1000 applicants
interviewed are hired by USIA.
These forty go through a three
month-training prcgram in Washing
ton after which ' they are sent to
their first foreign post for one year.
After a year's stay in a second
post, they become regular mem
bers of the USIA staff.
Grossman encouraged students
to take at least tvo foreign lan
guages since their chances of go
ing abroad are about 2 to 1. He un
derlined the importance of a USIA
applicant's mastery of languages.
Also he stressed adaptability as
a must in the USIA employee's job
of explaining "why Americans act
like Americans."
Grosman was 'accompanied by
Anthon A. Covins. Personel Division
of USIA. The two had interviewed
students for USIA positions earlier
in the day.
The Inter Fraternity Council
Monday night passed resolutions de
signed to improve pledge scholar
ship. The resolutions, prepared by the
Scholarship committe chaired by
Ben Geer Keyes, read:
"1. Require each pledge to at
tend a study hall (2 hur minimum)
four days a week
"2. Require each pledge to con
tact his instructors several times
during the semester and report his
progress and any comments by his
instructors to the fraternity schol
arship chairman.
"'3. Allow no pledge to live in the
house until he has obtained a "C"
average.
"4. Check the high school grades
of each plelge to find out what
trouble to expect and then start at
once to help boys with weak sub
jects. "5. Have each pledge list th?
courses with which "he is having
difficulty and then have those ac
tives capable of tutoring to sigq
up for each pledge."
The resolutions were presented as
"Suggestions to each fraternity
concerning the improvement of
pledge scholarship." As resolutions
these suggestions are not legally
binding upon the fraternities of the
IFC.
However, it was felt that in view
of the new IFC rule which allows
pledges only two semesters in
which to make his "C" average,
houses which have a scholarship
problem would find these ideas use
ful. At the recommendation of IFC
President Ashe Exum the IFC voted
to look into having a charity con
cert this year.
Exum said the executive commit
tee of the IFC had considered ways
to improve relations with the Uni
versity and the community, and he
asked the IFC to give the matter
seme consideration.
