Two new planks were sent back to the Platform committee.
Tlie term . “Independent” was criticized in the plank: “Establishment of a new Men's dormitory for independent students and improvement of existing living conditions.”
Opponents of the term thought it sounded too “anti-Row,” and said did not wish to discriminate against Row students who preferred living in dormitories to fraternity houses.
VOTED DOWN The proposal to affiliate with the National Students' association to gain, specifically, benefits of the purchasing discount-card system, was voted down.
Also under consideration by the committee, but not yet presented formally, is an attempt to base graduation on tests, not on, “time served or units accumulated.”
Scoilin pointed out that such a plan was working at Chicago university.
Opponents of the test-plan pointed out that there were too many consequences to be considered before suggesting such a proposal.
The meeting, which was heated at times, was conducted by Unity Chairman Frank O'Sullivan. I

The promised decision on the theft of 7000 DTs is still hanging fire at the Men’s Judicial council, Dr. Albert Zech. counselor of men. indicated yesterday.
Investigation of the case will continue through today and possibly tomorrow. Dr. Zech said. The council is still searching out evidence that might indicate who stole the edition, worth about $750, from Dixon Bell press last Mar. 23. he said.
When the investigation is over the council will pass its findings on to the student activities committee or possibly drop the charges if the evidence is not sufficient to convict suspects.
The council has already questioned the students who are most strongly suspected of the burglary.
The council acts in closed meetings and is sworn to secrecy.
Two of the suspects were identified after they were seen throwing a bundle of stolen DTs onto the steps of the Student Union.

Ramirez. is at present an , unendorsed’ candidate for AMS president. Complications also developed in this race yesterday when Doug Morgan said that he might drop out of the running and throw his power behind Ramirez.
The chance that he might turn away from all politics was mentioned by Ramirez in a telephone interview, when he said that his mind is not made up.
Ramirez was defeated in the first ballot of GUP's AMS nominations last week. Morgan won on the

se of Adivity Funds Probed
An investigation committee to Seek on the use of activity book jnds during the past two years bis appointed yesterday at the In-tpendent council meeting.
The mction came after a lively bcussion on the possibility of aad-g another dollar to the price of Le activity book. The additional U was suggested by President Bill rav to facilitate the sponsoring [ all-U social functions.
[“Tlie dollar increase would amount > from $5000 to $8000 and there->re allow for all-U affairs to jr»c off without the worry of fi-ancial failure,” Gray said.
!■»i wnanosJ was met with dis-1
senting opinions as many members feel that the price of the book is high enough already. It was doubted by some members that independent students would benefit from such a raise.
For want of additional facts on which to base discussion of Gray’s suggestion, an investigation committee was formed to study figures of former activity book money allotments.
Andy Anderman. chairman of the dormitories’ interorganizational cabinet, sat in at the meeting and was questioned on the effectiveness of his group during the past year.
Anderman stated, in reply to a
query from a council member, that his group has “made no social accomplishments” in its year-old ex- j istence. He previously agreed that' the cabinet was formed to coordinate social functions. Anderman also added that the interorganiza- i tional cabinet had no political in- ' clinations.
A proposal to look into the advisability of printing a campus folder to be used in registration and for convention groups was made by Gray. He displayed a similar j folder used at San Diego State college.
The question of funds to back up this action was left unanswered.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 3—Secretary of Interior Oscar L. Chapman recommended a long-range program today to increase the nation’s land, power, water, mineral and timber resources to meet the high production aims set forth in President Truman’s recent economic report.
Truman Lauds Marshall Plan
WASHINGTON. Apr. 3—President Truman said today the Marshall plan has made “great strides” against Communist aggression in Europe and appealed for its full continuation to achieve a peaceful and prosperous world.
WASHINGTON. Apr. 3—d'.P)— Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge (R.-Mass.) said today that Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) has not proved his charges of Communism in the State department and proposed creating a nonpartisan commission to investigate espionage.
Lodge is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee investigating McCarthy's charges. His plea to divorce “politics” from the “life and death” field of foreign relations was made as McCarthy tacitly accused Secretary of State Dean Acheson of lying.
McCarthy said Acheson didn't tell the full truth about Owen Lattimore. the Baltimore professor and Far Eastern expert McCarthy has called a Communist spy. McCarthy says his entire case will stand or fall on Lattimore.
Lattimore, who denies the accusation, promptly struck back at McCarthy by making public the confidential recommendations on Far Eastern policy he submitted to the State department last year. He said his views should serve to “refute” McCarthy’s “insinuations.”
The policy recommendations were solicited by the department last August along with those of 30 other Far Eastern experts. Lattimore said continued support of Chinese Nationalist leader Chiang Kai Shek
would do “more harm than good” to the United States. He also termed Japan and South Korea “liabilities" in the cold war against Russia.
Meanwhile, President Truman j formally announced at his Key , West, Fla., vacation retreat that he i had ordered the FBI and other

GUP chairman George Prusseli commented. “Since reading of Louis Ramirez’ candidacy for AMS president, I have learned that Doug Morgan is considering dropping out of the race.”
Further discussion of the AMS candidacy will have to wait until the next party meeting a week from tonight, the chairman said. At that time nominations for other offices will be made.
