Senate Croup Calls Costello
NEW YORK. Jan. 4—(1.0—Senate crime investigators today subpoenaed FYank Costello, reputed “prime minister of the underworld,” to tell them what he knows about the nation's gambling and organized crime.
The subpoena, served in the office of his attorney, calls for the appearance of the “partially re-y tired” Costello later this month, either in Washington or New York.
The subpoena, calling for Costello's second appearance before a Senate committee within a year, was served by Boris Kostelanetz, special counsel to the Senate Crime Investigating corXmittee headed by Sen. Estes Kefauver, D., Tenn.
Kostelanetz said the dapper Costello would be notified at a later date when and where he was to appear.
Korean war’s first Medal of Honor winner, was told officially for the first time today by the Army.
‘•Big Bill” Dean. Commander of the U.S. 24th Division when the Communist North Korean invaders were pressing for their initial knockout blow, last was seen helping stragglers and wounded near Taejon after we single-handedly attacked an enemy tank armd only with a ihand grenade. He has been listed as “missing in action-’ since July 21.
Brig. Gen. Pearson Menoher, assistant division commander, told the story of the tall, tough, sandy-haired general's “utter disregard for his own life.” The White House, meanwhile, announced that President Truman will give the nation’s highest award to Mrs. Mildred Dean of Berkeley in a ceremony next Tuesday.
The Medal of Honor citation will say Dean “was last seen assisting the wounded to a place of safety” after attacking the tank.
Before the fighting thickened. Menoher said Dean ordered his command post moved southward from Taejon, but he stayed in the doomed city through artillery fire he described as heavier than any he endured in World War II.
Menoher continued his account:
of the attack was the appearance of several enemy tanks within the city.
Dean quickly organized antitank bazooka teams and pursued thenn. He directed the fire of a 75 mm. recoilless rifle at a disabled tank, but after firing four rounds without a hit, he started crawling forward with a hand grenade to toss it into an open hatch.
Although pinned down by heavy small arms fire, he managed to escape and round up several bazooka teams which knocked out three Red tanks.
When Menoher left Taejon, Dean stayed behind to make sure everyone else got out safely. He picked up wounded in his vehicle before abandoning it before a Communist road-block.
When last seen, he was aiding lost soldiers and the wounded in the middle of the night of July 21 slightly south of the city. Just after that Dean and his aide became separated.
“Neither in the darkness that night nor after daylight could he be found,” Menoher said. “This is the last eye-witness account of General Dean available at this time.”
There have been conflicting reports that the 51-year-old Dean, a
said .he had been shot, or wounded, or burned to death. Korean prisoners said he still Is alive and a prisoner
in the north. Mrs. Dean has never given up hope.
Since the Korean conflict, food as well as other commodities essential to the running of the cafeteria j has increased 15 per cent, according to James Clark, director of Commons and residential halls.
Commons coffee, student’s life blood, will still cost five cents, although coffee has taken a 10 cent per pound jump since last summer. The price hike will be felt mostly in meat items where costs have risen 24 per cent, said Clark.
While the quality of the food will not change, the staff will plan! menus containing more items not affected so heavily in the price spiral, Clark said.

Salmond Says Applications of Eligible Students Far Below Expected Quota
Applications for registration by mail must be in by Wednesday if they are to be processed in time for spring enrollment, John Salmond, assistant registrar, said yesterday.
To date, only 1000 of the 13,000 eligible students have taken advantage of the experimental enrollment plan, but
[many more are expected to capitalize on this lineless method before the deadline.
Students with 90 or more units, including those now in process, graduate students. University College students, and those in the Civic Center division are eligible for the mail registration.
‘Veterans registering by mail will be able to complete all the steps necessary for enrollment with the exception of the last station,” Salmond said.
Vets Hesitant Some veterans were hesitating to use the plan since they thought it was necessary to appear in person for a greater part of the registration. Salmond emphasized that they would follow the same procedure as non-vets with the exception of the final station. Here the fee bill and class cards will be left by the student during preregistration, Jan. 22 to 27, or during registration, Feb. 7 to 10.
Students taking advantage of the plan should have their adviser's cards signed before they return the materials to the registrar’s of-I fice. This step will eliminate the necessity of making later program 'changes if the course chosen is no| | approved, and it will aid the uni-I versity in substituting classes in “Dream Girl,” an Elmer Rice case the 'One applied for is closed, comedy-fantasy, opens Thursday j	Schedules Ready

Brig. Gen. David J. Crawford, commander of the tank-automotive center, estimated the total amount to be spent this fiscal year will exceed any previous year in history, including World War II.
More tanks and automotive equipment has been ordered in the past six months alone than in the entire first year of World War II, he said.
The contracts, most of them still to be filled, are for items ranging from medium tanks to radiator caps.

bstructionism Will Rule 82nd Congress, Says Prof. Totton Anderson
Twentieth-century obstructionism will rule the ;nd Congress because of the Republican-Southern .mocrat coalition which controls both houses, accord-ng to Totton J. Anderson, associate professor of politi-science.
Mathematically, the Democratic party has control of th houses, but the coalition will be the ruling major-y for the next two years. This was brought out in the itial vote in both houses when they convened yester-ay. The Republican-Southern Democrat coalition over-e the Democratic majority in both legislative bodies. The new Congress is definitely right of center, Dr. nderson said. The Democratic majority isn’t a “true” ajority, as the Southern Democrats run for office nder one party label and then vote differently.
, Southern Democrats are supporting the Republicans ;ause they do not agree with the Truman civil rights 'rogram, Dr. Anderson said. By voting with the Republicans in a coalition, they can effectively tie up the legislative measures on this issue.
The issue came to the front when the coalition defeated the Democrats on a measure restoring the pigeon-holing power of the House Rules committee. This, in effect, ties up the House of Representatives because the House Rules committee is dominated by Southern Democrats and Republicans.
The Senate Rules committee has not as yet made such a move but the coalition showed its strength when Sen. E. W. McFarland (D-Ariz.), the new majority leader, offered the customary resolution to adjourn the Senate until next Monday. Sens. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) and Kenneth Wherry (R-Neb) insisted the Senate “stand by” no longer than Friday. Not a single Democrat rose to defend McFarland.
Southern Democrats are elected true to color lines instead of on the basis of political conviction on general matters of public policy, he continued. “Therefore you don’t have the normal free play of pros and cons on basic political issues since one party dominates the entire situation.
“When Southern Democrats start debating in Congress, their true political convictions are revealed,” Dr. Anderson explained. “This revelation proves that many sq called Southern Democrats are extremely conservative in their thinking and have no serious differences of opinion with much of the program of the Republican party.”
The situation is critical from the standpoint of Trruman’s administration, Dr. Andersoh said. Most of Truman’s program, including the platform planks he was elected on, will not be acceptable to the coalition.
Dr. Anderson predicts that the coalition group will stick together in opposition to the major elements of Truman’s domestic program. The Southern Democrats are against big spending as well as Truman’s civil rights program, but Dr. Anderson said he does not think that they will seriously hamper defense measures.
The only way Democrats can get around the pigeon-holing House Rules committee would be by signing a discharge petition, Dr. Anderson said. A discharge
petition forces a bill out of committee. It requires the signatures of 218 (a majority) members and occurs rarely.
In 1931, the House did adopt a rule under which as few as 145 members (one-third instead of one-half) could force such a vote; but on the ground that this gave too much power to pressure groups and compelled the House to call back bills which only a minority wished to consider, the plan was abandoned in 1935.
Through thfc reinstatement of the House Rules committee pigeon-holing power, the coalition will be able to stop legislation. Dr. Anderson said that it was a tremendous advance when the House Rules committee was first stripped of this power.
In spite of the Southern Democrat-Republican coalition, the Democratic party will not exclude the the Dixiecrats from the party, Dr. Anderson added. This is because the Democrats cannot do away with the South and have a strong party.
