Truman Charges Blunder'
MILWAUKEE. Wis., Oct. 14—President Truman tonight-charged that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey “blundered” by bringing atomic development into the presidential campaign.
The president also said that until Russia and all other ; nations have agreed on international control, “we have no choice but to proceed with the development of atomic weapons.”

Bunche Says Jews Negligent
PARIS, Oct. 14— (U.E)—Dr. Ralph Bunche, acting mediator for Palestine, reported to the United Nations today that negligence by Jewish authorities in Jerusalem made possible the assassination of Count Folke Bernadotte.
Appearing before the UN security council, Bunche said also that he has received no official information on the progress the Israel government has made toward capturing the Stern gang terrorists who murdered Bernadotte.
"In all frankness, I find the conclusion inescapable that there was in this instance negligence on the part of local authorities in Jerusalem,” Bunche said.
“Had minimum precautions been taken, this crime could not and would not have been committed.’ *
Reporting on truce violations by both Arabs and Jews, Bunche said they had become “epidemic” and continued:
“I fear that if the present tendency continues, reasonable minimum co-operation will soon be lacking, with consequences of the utmost seriousness to the preservation of the truce and its supervision.”
The meeting of the Security council marked the opening of what is expected to be a long and bitter fight over Palestine, including Bern-adotte’s plan, submitted to the UN just before his death, for a permanent solution.
was learned by the DT yesterday afternoon.
Phone calls between the DT and Bruin student authorities yesterday revealed that the Westwooders were unaware of the pilfering with the exception of homecoming chairman Jim Cook.
BRUIN HOPES
Cook politely told the phone interviewer that he hoped the banner would be returned in time for Friday’s homecoming parade on the Bruin campus.
Johnny Davis, SC student body president, was impressed by the sudden show of spirit and enthusiasm with the appearance on campus of the stolen banner, but cautioned all parties to avoid any damaging vandalism that has occurred in past Troy-Bruin hi-jinks.
SAYS SANE
“SC and UCLA are the only two major universities situated within the same city that are still allowed to continue athletic competition with one another. This is mainly because the two schools have carried on comparatively sane relations. Let’s not do anything now to jeopardize those relations,” Davis said.
Davis, when asked if he thought UCLA ftudents were responsible for George Tirebiter’s disappearance, said that no parties at present could be blamed for the act.
Student leaders yesterday were hoping that the Bruins might have Tirebiter, and that the homecoming banner might be used as an exchange for his safe return.

PARIS. Oct. 14—<F-P)—Smaller countries in the United Nations Security council will attempt tomorrow to break Russia's diplomatic sit-down strike against consideration of the Berlin crisis, it was made known tonight.
Under the lead of Juan A. Bra-muglia of Argentina, delegates of six countries prepared a list of questions to be put to Russia and the Western Allies when the council takes up the crisis tomorrow.
If they can get Russian Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky to answer, hi3 sit-down strike will be broken.
Delegates of the Western Allies believe, however, that Vishinsky will refuse to answer the questions in line with his announcement that he will take no part in consideration of the Berlin situation. COUNCIL ASKED Hence, at two meetings today. Philip C. Jessup, United States, Sir Alexander Cadogan. Great Britain, and Alexandre Parodi, France, starred drafting a resolution asking the Security council to condemn Russia's blockade of Berlin as a threat to peace.
Sources close to Bramuglia said he blames the Western Allies and Russia alike for the failure of his attempt to effect a compromise on Berlin and that he might refuse to vote for any resolution condemning Russia.
Bramuglia tonight tried to get ready for submission the six-nation questionnaire on Berlin, so delegates would have time to study it before

“There is no easy form of leadership,” said Dr. Baxter, but he listed certain requisites which, to his mind, personified the leader:
A bright, sharp mind to grasp knowledge.
Wisdom, which he termed a “framework of mutual interdependence of things.”
Articulateness, because of many complexities that exist today, the leader can no longer be the strong silent man.

The question of endorsing a candidate for Freshman class president was forced when Jack Graves, Theta Chi, reminded the group that IFC rules still in effect required a discussion of an IFC candidate for the office.

Before the vote Bob Hickle. Sigma Nu President, stated the political sentiments of his fraternity.
According to Hickle, the present system is the work of “a small minority clique trying to run the Row.”

Fraternity average for spring semester was 1.3176. For the previous semester it was 1.295.
Individual fraternity honors go to Phi Kappa Tfeu with 1.505. This year's averages, Berg said, include the grades of actives and pledges as requested by the National Interfraternity council. Previously, fraternity averages have been computed from the grades of actives only.
Among the fraternities, 16 improved their averages last spring.
Acacia showed the greatest individual improvement, Berg said, moving from 28th to 12th in fraternity ranking. They raised their average from 1:060 to 1.374, and were closely followed by Tau Delta Phi.
