he Most Popular—Anderson ★ ★★★★★★★ Faces Dog-Fight for Nomination
Packed Crowd Hears Dr. Norman Thomas
Realistic View Urged
by Kenton Wood
“Eisenhower is by lar the most popular candidate for the presidency.”
This statement was made by Dr. Totton J. Anderson, associate professor of political science, following the announcement by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower that he will accept the nomination for president if drafted by the Republican convention.
According to nation-wide polls. Eisenhower is the most popular candidate among Republican and Democratic voters, but it will require more than polls, the press, or popularity among the mass of the people to win the nomination at the Republican convention, said Anderson.
The first job which must be undertaken by Eisenhower's backers Is to, get delegation strength. Tn this, they are getting a late start, for Sen. Robert A. Taft, Eisenhower's leading competitor, already has received commitments for from 100 to 200 votes.
However, unofficial reports indicate Eisenhower’s backers, ir.-jcludins Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, have secured some com-kiitments. without releasing any in-iformation on them.
In order to obtain delegate?. [Eisenhower must come forth with (definite statements on important (domestic a*d foreign issues, said Anderson. In addition, certain po-
fore, he is in the enviable position j of being able to deny any state- j ment made by his backers.
At the present time, said Anderson, a booklet is being published containing excerpts from Eisenhower's speeches which give his views on many issues. It is know’n Eisenhower definitely is not isola-! tionist, and is more conservative in his domestic politics than is the present administration, although not as conservative in foreign policy as Taft, who favors semi-isolation.
Among the assets held by Eisenhower is a reservoir of good will throughout the world, and his ability to get the necessary independent votes. Anderson said.
However, he added, the question remains e.s to how well his repu-I tation will withstand the criticism to which it would be subjected in a presidential campaign.
Another important task facing and State department will have to Eisenhower's backers is to raise be promised, even though Eisen- j money to carry on the campaign
Entire Student Directory File Missing From Patio of Union
The entire student directory of more than 18,000 classroom schedule cards was taken from the patio of the Student Union over the weekend, it was discovered yesterday.
The cards were missing from the file early yesterday morning and had not been replaced by late evening. Cause of their disappearance is a mystery. Last year, the cards were “appropriated” briefly for use in an election campaign.
Counselor of Men Albert F. Zech asked that the student, group of students, or organization responsible for removing the cards return them to the file at once.
“Students are welcome at any time to get the addresses and phone numbers of their friends from the files in the offices of the counselor of women and counselor of men.
“This is much more convenient than lugging away 18,000 cards,” he added wryly.
Dr. Zech said that loss of the card file is important in that the cards can no longer be used as a reference by students and parents and friends of students for urgent personal reasons. The missing directory is working undue hardship on the registrar’s office, especially at this busy time of the semester, he said.

Zoologist to Tell Of Alaskan Trek
ike to Remain In Europe-NotCampaign
From The United Press The answer to the $64 political question has been given with the announcement by General Dwight D. Eisenhower that if drafted he will run as Republican candidate this year. The allied supreme commander in Europe emphasized in Paris that he would not seek any circumstances, nor would he engage in any campaign for convention delegates.
lie did, however, give his boosters in the United States the go-ahead to try to win him the draft—“A clear-cut call to political duty,*’ as he put it—while he canies on in Europe. He spoke out less than 24 hours after Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge announced at a Washington press conference that Eisenhower was entered in the New Hampshire. Republican primary, that he was a Republican, and that he was in the race “to the finish.” Essentially Eisenhower said that if drafted he

on the state of the American sys-tem of free enterprise, and went on to drive home arguments for ; the need for realistic thinking on problems of universal peace and the battle against world poverty.
These problems, Thomas said repeatedly, cannot be solved with the “same old slogans” and by believing in the “same old American myths.”
The dynamic, personable speaker described his ideal of Democratic Socialism as “a doctrine and a movement for the good of human society and the fellowship of free man.” It is something that must be “consciously sought and planned, for through devices that are cooperative.”
Predicts Changes In discussing the future and place of Democratic Socialism in the U. S., Thomas said that as good as things are in this country, they are not as good as they should be. And, he continued, they will not remain the same in the future. The change will be great, whether for better or worse.
Thomas vigorously condemned what he called the “American myth that we have developed a I lovely American way of life, free | enterprise, that has conquered pov-j erty.”
Ours is a scrambled economy, not free enterprise he said, and it has not conquered poverty. He cited cases of migratory agricultural workers who earn less than $500 a year, and pointed out that one third of the population is ill-housed.
Urges Social Ownership War and an economy based on arms production are responsible for prosperity we enjoy today, but spending for arms is dictated by political, rather than economic interests, he said.

Premier Rene Plevan’s right-of-center French coalition cabinet fell yesterday before a National Assembly vote of no confidence that was brought about by a strange coalition of leftists and rightists. The government — France's 14th in 5 years — had been in office since last Aug. 11, but fell in the first of eight confidence votes the premier had asked on his “realistic” budget balancing program for increasing taxes and slashing social security expenses.
Vishinsky insisted the Russians “hope and are anxious for the necessary agreement” in such a counci-1 session.
I He said the Korean Armistice ' talks had made only “insignificant , progress in six months and that | now the council must meet and try I to work out a solution.
1 “I see no other alternative,” the Soviet foreign minister said.
Vissinsky urged that the big four powrers send their foreign ministers or deputies armed with high powers to a special security council meeting.
“There was some progress fat Panmunjom),” Vishinsky said, “but it was tenuous. They have got themselves into a deadlock. Let's the four of us sit down—the foreign ministers perhaps—and try to help.”
When Vishinsky first made his proposal last Thursday, the issue of Chinese representation was seen as a big stumbling block to such truce
which he believed social control of ownership would be advantageous.
Opposes Land Rents
Natural resources, above all. I should be under social ownership. Private ownership of such resources, he said is both unfair and wasteful.
Rents from private property collected by absentee owners should be abolished. Land values, said Thomas, are determined by population growth, and therefore, unearned increments should go to society.
Money, banking, and credit, and lastly, utilities and great corporations vested with social interest, should’ be subject to social control.
Hits Negative Approach
The white-haired and balding speaker then focused his remarks on present U. S. thinking.
One of the most dongerous situations facing the country at present, he said, is the negativist ap-
as a cure-all for world problems preached by many rabid theologians will increase the problem of peace rather than solve it. Norman Thomas. America's leading Socialist, said yesterday.
Speaking before a small informal gathering in the Commons of the School of Religion after his lecture in Fouders hall, the former Presbyterian clergyman warned of a danger of tolerance toward all religions.
“Not all religions are good; far from it,” Thomas said. “There have been as many evil religions as good ones.”
Cites Pakistan Conflict
“It took men centuries to stop killing each other because of religion. Now the conflicts are reviving again,” he said, citing devastation istan-India conflict, which he viewed while visiting those coun- i tries.
"High officials in Yugoslavia have I admitted to me that more Serbs and ! Croats have* died fighting each other because of religious differences than were slain by the Nazis during the last war,” Thomas revealed.
“Return to religion for that sort 1 of thing?” he asked.
Relaxes During Talk
Appearing untired from his speech i in Founders hall. Thomas sat re- 1 laxedly with his long legs crossed and his arms outstretched as he leaned upon the table behind him during the hour-long session. Speaking i$ casual tones, the sixtime presidential candidate talked for 20 minutes then enlarged upon questions asked of him.
Thomas emphasized the need for
lems.
“It is a primary duty of clergymen to speak out with moral conviction on social problems,” he said. “Religion, to be valid, must have power,” he added emphatically.
Praises Missionaries
The widely-traveled reformer spoke highly of missionary movements and the improvement in social conditions they have produced in various areas of the world. He recounted experiences he had in several places, most of which strengthened his socialistic convictions.
Thomas strongly advocates universal disarmament as the biggest step toward peace and expressed disappointment at the absence of crusades for disarmament, both abroad and in this country.
“It is a tragedy that recent disarmament proposals were so lightly considered, especially by the American public,” Thomas said.
I “Most churchmen are doing very ! little to start disarmament crusades.”
Sacrificial Gort’
The chief reason Sr. cialists haven't accomplished more in this country is their numerical and party weakess. Thomas said.
“Many people who have never voted for me, or never would, are constantly asking ‘Why don’t you run for president aga rs”” They seem to look upon me as the ‘‘sacrificial goat.” Thomas joked.
After impressing the fathering with his casual, friendly manner and his ability to parry questions, Thomas 'eft to keep other appointments.

proach that has become dominant country and academic freedom is
being violated ad student rights are being forgotten and abridged, delegates said.
Some of the more important proposals included in the list of rights are that before entering a college students be given a written statement of regulations and responsibilities pertaining to educational policies and extra-curricular activities.
Right of students to competent instruction, adequate vocational guidance, counseling, ana library and laboratory facilities was stressed.
NSA feels studets should be allowed to establish democratic student governments and administer, legislate, and adjudicate within constitutional jurisdiction of the organization.
In the category of freedom of speech, the counsel advocates right of students and their organizations to hear speakers of their choice, subject to clearly stated educational policies of the institution.
They also want institutions to recognize student-directed publications free of any censorship or other pressures aimed at controlling editorial policy.
One of the main resolutions on the Bill of Rights is that students

It has become a matter of what we must learn to hate, and what must be kept out rather than what constructive measures may be taken.
“This unrealistic thinking has forced us to assume an identity, which does not exist, between communism and Democratic Socialism.
Apainst Totalitarianism “Cur opposition to Communism has been unintelligent. I support opposition against any totalitarian form of communism or facism, of which Russia is an example of the farmer. Too much of our opposition to communism, Is for the wrong reasons.”
