Liver Ailment Causes Death Of McCarthy
By I'nited Press
WASHINGTON — <UP>— Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis. »| died yesterday at the age of 47.
He succumbed at Bethesda Naval ;
Hospital at 6:02 p.m. EDT.
The hospital announced that j the senator, who was admitted Sunday, died of “acute hepatitic failure.” a failure of the i functions of the liver. McCarthy’s j * wife, Jean, was present at his [
I bedside when he succumbed.
The last rites of the Roman I Catholic Church were adminis- i 1 tered to McCarthy about 5 p.m., i by Cmdr. Gabriel J. Naughten,
Catholic chaplain at Bethesda j Naval Hospital.
A hospital spokesman said |
I McCarthy took a turn for the : worse sometime between 4 and 5 p.m.—“He was slipping.” At about 5:30 p.m., EDT., the spokesman said, “It became obvious that he couldn't be saved.” j Autopsy Undecided There was no immediate infor- ; mation whether an autopsy would be performed.
Aside from Mrs. McCarthy, the t only persons present at the death bed were members of the j staff of the medical service.
The spokesman said he was not able to say immediately whether McCarthy was conscious to the end.
Liver Disorder Hepatitis is a malfunction of |
; the liver which results in digestive disturbances, accompanied by exhaustion and in many cases jaundice, which brings a yellow tinge to the skin.
McCarthy was elected to the Senate in 1946 but his tumultous career as a national and controversial figure did not start until Feb. 9, 1950, when he delivered his fam^d “Communists-in-gov-ernment” speech at Wheeling,
W.Va.
He charged then that there were 205 “card-carrying” Communists employed in the State I Everything from dinosaurs to Department.	1 bathing beauties will be included
He later reduced the figure fo in the SC’s department of diama 57 but the echoes of his speech j production of The Skin of Our boiled up into a national con- j Teeth, to be presented starting troversy which spanned several next Tuesday night in Bov aid rears.	^ Auditorium.
ic Blue and White Carnival
Law is a nifty little game of punch-and-jab finagling. Whenever a controversial statute is registered on the books, up pops a case to challenge its constitutionality. This becomes what law men call a “test case.” As of Wednesday afternoon, the Elections Board of Protest is complaints-deep in a sizzling-hot test case.
The trouble centers on discovered campaign handbills, banned in ASSC elections since this year’s legaUy amended Senate bylaws regarding campaigning. The issue came before the Board. It conducted hearings and has posted its recommendations, which the Senate must accept or reject on Monday.
If the governing body rejects the recommendations without posing an alternate penalty containing rigid teeth-and-gears campaign, rules, the Board of Protest is as food as dead, and the highfalutin ideals of our ASSC Solons will cringe four floors down the Student Union drainpipe and into the L.A. sewer.
Whatever the outcome, every Trojan deserves to know of the farce that took place at the Board of Protest hearings. The main acts in the circus were these:
1.	Greg Taylor ^and Gary Widell protested to the Board that so-called “white leaflets” were being distributed in abundance on campus and on the Row.
The leaflets were neat, well-edited campaign literature, either perfectly mfmeographed or printed by offset, recommending, among others, such key candidates as Dennis Fagerhult, Glen Hollinger, Bob Hokum, Maryanne Hammatt, Car.! Vitalie, Phil Kelmar, Richard Amerian, Jerry Ellinghouse and George Baffa.
2.	In opposition protest, Wes Gregory presented the Board with a “blue leaflet” listing these names among others: Larry Sipes, Joan Sparling, Bruce Blinn,
Scott Randolph, Larry Knudson, Pat Wynn, Dick Walker, Rosemary Fank-hanol, Gary Zimmerman and Nancy Niersbach.
He claimed it had been placed into his mail box the night before.
3. Soon after, a member of TKE and another from ATO walked into the hearing, each bearing a fistful of the “blue leaflets.” They harangued the Board with protests that the leaflets had been distributed in their respective houses.
When checked closely, the ink of the newly arrived “blue leaflets,” like the one handed in by Gregory, was so wet it was practically staining the bearers’ fingers.
What’s more, Miss Niersbach’s first name, which happens to be Joan, was listed as “Nancy.” Scott FitzRandolph’s last name, which actually happens to be FitzRandolph, was listed as “Randolph.”
The “blue leaflets,” furthermore, were crudely reproduced by mimeograph, so badly done that some names were nigh on impossible to read, and apparently rolled out so fast that many slips in the bundle were blank.
In other words, the job was such a botch up that any unbiased observer couldn’t help but know that the men from TKE and ATO were out to buffalo the Board.
It appears that student politics at SC again stands to take a vicious setback. Dirty campaigning again threatens to undo every laborous hour constructively spent by the Senate this year.
Decent candidates may again be harmed by the political scum who conceived these leaflets—a caliber of student politician SC seems unable to rid itself of. The ASSC Senate faces a major challenge Monday. Its decision will determine whether its reputation stands or falls.
Monday Meeting To Decide Issue
More than 2800 students cast their ballots Wednesday and Thursday i/i an unprecedented ASSC election which may see all but five candidates disqualified and a revot* scheduled for next fall.
At a meeting late yesterday afternoon, the elections
Board of Protest officially rec- ----
ommended to the ASSC Senate the 'disqualification of those candidates whose names appeared on any handbill.”
According to Committee Member Dardie Schaffer, “The board reached this decision by following the by-laws of the ASSC Senate.”
Because of the decision to disqualify the candidates the elections results will not be announced until the next senate meeting at noon Monday.

porters. And there was also th« human factor that many candidates were not even awart of their supporters had done. • “Yet, when a candidate runs, he must fill out a form which holds him responsible for anything done on his behalf.” “Whatever happens, I personally shall do everything in my power to protect these innocent candidates,” he said. “However, I can't even predict that the senate will act objectively next Monday.

Troy Invited to See Film on loday s Africa
FOREIGN FREEDOM FILM - These people are readied for the first showing of the African film, ''Freedom" which will be Mon-
day and Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Fox Boulevard Theatre. SC students and faculty members have been specially invited.
“Freedom,” a film about present-day Africa, will be presented to the public in a special showing at the Fox Boulevard Theater, Monday and Tuesday evenings at 8:30. Student and factulty members are specially invited to this admission-free program.
Presented by Moral Re-Armament, the movie is in Eastman color for Vista Vision screening. It is a picture of what is happening in Africa today, written by Atrican leaders who have a burning conviction of what their continent is meant to contribute to the world.
Unique Organization Moral Re-Armament is not an organization in the usual sense of the word, but an international group of people whose main purpose is to unite humanity for a new world. They believe that to achieve this nevv world they must bring out the individual rather than the masses.
It is a moral force, proclaiming that nations should live by moral standards of honesty, unselfishness, absolute purity and absolute love.
Person Can’t Resign This is not an organization to which one can pay dues or from which one can resign, according to one of its adheients. Rather it is an ideology fnat can be adopted for ones life and followed in every facet of existence.
[recruited from all over Africa. The leading role is played by John Ameta, who was national president of the students of Nigeria and Manasseh Moerane as well as vice-president of the 10,000-strong African Teachers of South Africa. He will be present at next week's showing.
Hollywood Premiere
The film premiered at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. It has been shown since to audiences in Washington. D.C., Johannesburg, Ghana, Nigeria and Manila, and has been asked for at film festivals in Rome. Cannes and Berlin.
“Freedom” was requested specially by senators and congressmen, and was shown twice to them in the Library of Congress in Washington. It was also viewed in the British House of Commons.
The movie opens with cries of “Freedom!” from 6000 Africans gathered on a hillside. The scene later shifts from the hillside to the palace. Actually filmed in Nigeria, the picture has been made more authentic through the use of palaces, thrones, re-g a 1 i a and official drummers loaned by the rulers of that country.
Gathering momentum as the struggle for freedom increases, the climax is reached during a marketplace scene where 10,000 Africans cheer a revolutionary idea uniting the major political
Sneak Preview
Those interested in a sneak preview may see some scenes from the production on KTLA's “Master Control” at 8:30 tonight.
William White, production manager, announced yesterday that Thursday night, May 9. has been designated as Row Night I and invited all fiaternity and ! sorority members to attend.
Life’s eternal pattern is sug- j gested in the satirical and symbolic play by linking suburban | Nevv Jersey with the tertiary j period of extreme glaciation; the Atlantic City Boardwalk and the Flood; and Cain with the World Wars.
Livlines* Promised
As Lily Sabina says in the closing lines. "This is all inspiring, but perhaps a little monotonous.” But Production Manager William White stressed that the play will be anything but boring.
The cast for “The Skin of Our Teeth has been rehearsing nightly and on weekends. The play is a difficult one to do because the performers are often supposed to switch from pathos to farce in a single speech.
The tragic comedy will begin at 8:30 each evening of its five-day run. General admission is 51, and students with activity cards will be admitted free.
| fines, penalties and recommend-; ed disqualifications.
The senate can either approve , or reject the report.
“If they choose to do so,” ASSC President Carl Terzian said,
| “the senate can then split the report in parts and consider it ■ that way. They cannot, however,
! disqualify separate candidates as this would be outside their status in considering committee reports.”
“From what I've heard,” he i went on, “I doubt that the senate will vote for disqualification ! at all. They may decide, instead, to simply make the candidates ’ pay the fines.”
Still Eligible
If the candidates are disqualified, they will still be “eligible i to run” in any subsequent elec-, tion, Miss Schaffer said. Due to a lack of funds, however, any other student body election would have to be held next fall, unless the Board of Financial Control votes more funds for the project.
“There are many sincere peo- ! pie running in the election who will be left with scars by this j disqualification,” Miss Schaffer ! declared.
“But it is our hope that if ! another election is held this will not influence candidates to refrain from running but rather-influence those who printed the handbills against doing more harm,” she said.
Another committee member, Clunie Holt, said, “We didn't make the rules, we were only the umpires and as such had no choice but to make this decision.”
Candidate’* Wrath
“The members of the board j were torn between two things, | President Terzian said. “There i were the bylaw provisions w hich they closely abided by, and Dy j doing so received the wrath of ! the candidates and their sup- 1
Student's Fault
“The heartbreaking part of all
this,” he went on. “is that it all could have been avoided had the students, who themselves have begged for this cleanup in election campaigns, been honest and abided by these bylaws instead of trying to challenge them.” “Actually, it's only a matter of time, if we continue to make a mockery of student government. until we force th§ hand of the administration and they step l*i.
