OUTSTANDING SCIENTIST-Dr. T. T. Chen, professor of zoology at SC has recently been appointed biology consultant to the Atomic Energy Commission at Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. Chen has been considered the leading authority on one-celled animals.
Germany in 1956. forty-nine of Dr. Chen's drawings appear.
Chen received his bachelor of arts degree from Fukien Christian University in Fukien province, China. He received his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania.
Beginning his study of one-celled animals after his graduation from Fukien Christian University, Dr. Chen became interested in the study of antibiotics produced by paramecia eight years ago.
Outstanding Authority
He was awarded a fellowship to Yale in 1934. and in 1936 received a research fellowship from Johns Hopkins University.
Much of Dr. Chen’s research has been in studying opalinids, a parasitic protozoa. Scientific personalities in America and abroad consider him the greatest living authority on this species.
The Chinese government, in 1946, invited Dr. Chen to train technicians in its National Academy of Sciences. A year later he returned to the U.S., where he joined the faculty of the Bemidji, Minnesota State Teachers College. Professor Chen wras appointed Director of the Institute for Biological Research in 1948.
Receiving an associate professorship at SC in ■'949. Chen
I became professor of zoology here in 1951.
The Doctor’s work with para-j mecium bursaria led to the dis-I covery of Paramecin 34, an anti-I biotic produced by the one-celled j animal. Paramecin 34, according ' to Dr. Chen, could be a cure for malaria.
Dr. Chen has twice received ! the Boston Society of Natural i History’s Walker Prize.
The numerous scientific societies in which he holds fellow-| ships include the New York ! Academy of Sciences and the ! American Association for Ad-i vancement of Science. He is also a member of the American So-' ciety of Zoologises and the Society for Experimental Biology i and Medicine.

Recipient of many research grants including those given by the Office of Naval Research, the American Medical Association, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Chen was further honored wrhen a newly discovered one-celled animal, Nyctoeherus cheni, was named after him.
Currently, Chen is affiliated with the Parke, Davis Pharmaceutical Company. His work with this organization is in the development of anti-biotics. He is also continuing his teaching and research study at SC.
German Students Hit Conscription
By Leona Goldstein
Germany’s present attitude of anti-militarism was stressed by Harold von Hofe in his talk, “Germans Make Poor Soldiers” at yesterday’s first Faculty Club luncheon.
Dr. von Hofe of the German department, who recently returned from a year in Germany, reported that much opposition has been voiced against the new Military Conscription Law.
Five university students have filed lawsuits against the draft law. claiming it unconstitutional, he said.
“Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, who is partly responsible for the remilitarization program, is in a weaker position than a year ago,” Dr. von Hofe explained.
"Adenauer has the threefold task of defending his program to his Western allies, to the East Germans and to his own people. Due to public pressure, Adenauer has been forced to reduce the period of military service from 18 to 12 months,” he continued.
The Social Democrats, Adenauers most powerful opponents, will oppose the chancellor’s rearmament plans in next year s election campaign.
Dr. von Hofe said Germany’s principal reason for opposing warfare is the destruction suffered in the two World Wars. In addition, widespread poverty followed the last war, he added.
In a brief historical back-
DR. HAROLD von HOFE
... a neutral Germany?
ground of Germany, Dr. von Hofe emphasized the phenomenal change in German ideas j during the last 150 years.
Until the middle of the nine- | teenth century Germany was noted mainly for its contributions to music, literature, art, i and philosophy. It was consid- j ered the chief source of Euro- j pean and American culture.
The gradual change to milt- j tarism began with the war with Denmark in I86:i. Following the 1870 Franco-Prussian conflict, German writers started their campaign for the glorification of military life, which continued into both World Wars. i
Traveling Halfback Gets Boot
By United Press
CORVALLIS — Sam Wesley, star junior halfback on the Oregon State College football team, yesterday was declared ineligible and was suspended from school for '‘withholding information” in his application to enter OSC.
Wesley, who was held out of the SC game last week, was said to have not only attended Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Mo., but the University'of Illinois as well.
The speedy halfback was one of the stars of last year’s Oregon State team which finished second in the Pacific Coast Conference.
A joint statement by President A. L. Strand and Registrar D. T. Ordeman said:
“The Sam Wesley case is closed. Not only did he attend classes at Lincoln University ... in February, 1954, but it appears from information received from the conference commissioner that he was registered as a freshman at the University of Illinois the previous autumn.
“He apparently was a student at Illinois until Feb. 1. 1954, when he was dropped. None of this information appeared on his application to enter OSC and, of course, none of it was included in information obtained about Wesley from the Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas, Tex.
“Since he withheld information in his application he is therefore suspended from Oregon Seate College and on the basis of the same information Glen Holcomb (faculty athletic representative) has declared Wesley ineligible.”
French Cabinet Leader Whips Political Bogie
By United Press
Guv Mollet, France's mild-mannered Socialist premier, i seems likely to become a veteran in his job.
Mollet leads one of his country’s weakest post-war cabinets. His four-party coalition lacks a majority in parliament.
During his eight months in office France has been beset by ! constant trouble in North Afri- j ca. The Suez Canal dispute has made things wrorse.
Now Mollet is facing his many critics in a new session of the National Assembly.
But it is indicated strongly that Mollet will ride out any ! attacks on him in the imme- ; diate future. He has already exceeded the average seven j months in office of a post-war premier. It has happened that France’s position in world affairs has been strengthened since Mollet took office Feb. 1 as his country’s 22nd post-war prime minister. Mollet's own position has been strengthened also. *
Position Stronger
Oddly, the canal dispute has helped to strengthen France in international councils. France and Britain have been drawn more closely together because of their sharp differences with United States policy in the Suez situation. Britain is turning toward the continent, with France as its partner, in a growing tendency toward unity among the countries of Western Europe.
The prospect also is for closer cooperation between France, Britain and Western Germany in the unity movement.
France and Western Germany ended the last of their ow n disputes last weekend when Mollet and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer reached final agreement on the future of the Saar coal area.
New Program
Adenauer has called in the strongest terms for tighter Western European cooperation.
As regards France’s own problems, Mollet is trying to work out a new program for Algeria, where a costly rebellion is nearing the end of its second year. j

RALLIES TO 5PUR SPIRIT
FOR SC-WISCONSIN BOUT
Two rallys for SC’s footbaL! team will be held tomorrow morning and Saturday evening, yell king Dann Angeloff said yesterday
Tomorrow’s rally will take place at 7 a.m. in front of the PE Building before the team and coaches depart for International Airport and their flight to Madison, Wis., where they meet the University of Wisconsin Saturday.
Saturday night’s raWy will be held at the airport at 9:45 p.mv when the team flies in from the east.
In commenting on this weekend’s game, Angeloff said,” “I feel this is the most important game to date.
If we can use this as a stepping stone we may go all the way. But the boys on the field need the student body’s support. Since we all can’t fly back to the game we have to support them with a rally and show them we “are really behind them ”
According to Angeloff. the rally after the SC-Texas game was one of the “biggest rallies in recent years.” Jon Arnett, SC’s al’-American. said the Texas rally, “was the biggest football rally I've been to since I’ve been playing ball.”
More than 2000 rooters met the plane after the Texas game.

Adlai Grits Teeth, Raps Ike s Claims
From United Press
PITTSBURGH _(UP(—Adlai E. Stevenson last night accused President Eisenhower of “a gross misstatement of the record” in his political speeches at Cleveland, and Lexington, Ky., Monday.
The Democratic presidential candidate, climaxing a day-long Whistle-stop trip across Pennsylvania with a nationwide television address here, replied to the President’s charge that Democrats were indulging in “wicked nonsense” in their campaign.
Stevenson quoted Mr. Eisenhower as saying Monday that the election will hinge on which party “has done more to help all Americans meet the problems of their daily lives.”
Future Aid Stevenson said this was “a proper statement.”
“Of course, what matters is which party will do more in the future to help people meet the always new problems of their daily lives,” Stevenson said.
“But I am sure that is what the Republican candidate meant,” he said. “And he is right that each party’s past record offers the best test of its future performance.
“So if the record is to be the test, let's get the record straight.
Gross Indulgence “I think it is too bad that the President indulged himself in such a gross misstatement of the record. I am sure he is an honorable man and could hardly have deliberately intended the misrepresentation which his speech included.”
Stevenson said the President claimed credit for the Republican Party for the “enlargement” of Social Security. He said “the fact is that Democrats developed this program against bitter Republican opposition.” Stevenson made similar charges with reference to the President’s remarks about the Minimum Wage Law, farm legislation, the cost of living, aid to small business, civil rights, and other campaign issues.

Man is “almost obsolete” in this age when aircraft fly faster than 1000 miles an hour, according to Brig. Gen. Joseph D. Caldara, F.S. Air Force flight safety research director.
The general asked 800 delegates attending a meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers yesterday not to forget the pilots in the quest for more aircraft speed and performance.
“Part of your job as I see it.” Caldara said,* “is to keep the pilot at the controls as long as his ship can be managed effectively—and, when it can't, to get him out safely.” He reminded the engineers they were not building planes for highly-skilled test pilots, but youn«f lieutenants who fly them in day-to-day operations.
“Give these kids a chance to change their minds and make it back to the field without ha\ing to push the ‘next-to-kin* button and eject themselves,” the general said.
After praising aircraft designers for the advances in
aviation Caldara asked why engineers could not develop a landing brake other than the drag parachute and better latches on landing gear covers.
He likened the drag brake to a sea anchor and “unreadable” runway markers to ar-, chaie channel buoys. He suggested the engineers figure out a dial which would give pilots their speed as well as distance traveled down the runway on takeoffs.
Caldara said that in the early days of aviation a hatch cover could open and not get bent. Now, he said, they rip 1 off and make big holes in the plane.

ALBANY — (UP) — Lucky G. L. withstood the challenge of two other stretch-running 3-year-olds yesterday to win the $5000 Vallejo Handicap by a head in a blanket finish at Golden Gate Fields.
With Johnny (The Pumper) Longden flailing away for all he was worth Lucky G. L. held on gamely as Father’s Risk and Proselyte came from behind to : force a driving finish in the six-furlong feature.
The winner was timed in j -:09 3/5 over the fast east bay ! track.
Lucky G. L., a black colt trained by the old master. Willie Molter, was second choice in the wagering. He paid $9.90. $4.60 and $3.30 across the board.
Father's Risk, grabbing second by another head, paid $5.10 and $4. Proselyte, the longest shot in the seven-horse field, returned $7.10 show money.

Britain is turning toward the continent, with France as its partner, in a growing tendency toward unity among the countries of Western Europe. The prospect also is for closer cooperation between France, Britain and Western Germany in the unity movement. France and Western Germany ended the last of their ow n disputes last weekend when Mollet and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer reached final agreement on the future of the Saar coal area. New Program Adenauer has called in the strongest terms for tighter Western European cooperation. As regards France’s own problems, Mollet is trying to work out a new program for Algeria, where a costly rebellion is nearing the end of its second year. j By RALLIES TO 5PUR SPIRIT FOR SC-WISCONSIN BOUT Two rallys for SC’s footbaL! team will be held tomorrow morning and Saturday evening, yell king Dann Angeloff said yesterday Tomorrow’s rally will take place at 7 a.m. in front of the PE Building before the team and coaches depart for International Airport and their flight to Madison, Wis., where they meet the University of Wisconsin Saturday. Saturday night’s raWy will be held at the airport at 9:45 p.mv when the team flies in from the east. In commenting on this weekend’s game, Angeloff said,” “I feel this is the most important game to date. If we can use this as a stepping stone we may go all the way. But the boys on the field need the student body’s support. Since we all can’t fly back to the game we have to support them with a rally and show them we “are really behind them ” According to Angeloff. the rally after the SC-Texas game was one of the “biggest rallies in recent years.” Jon Arnett, SC’s al’-American. said the Texas rally, “was the biggest football rally I've been to since I’ve been playing ball.” More than 2000 rooters met the plane after the Texas game. WORLD NEWS Adlai Grits Teeth, Raps Ike s Claims From United Press PITTSBURGH _(UP(—Adlai E. Stevenson last night accused President Eisenhower of “a gross misstatement of the record” in his political speeches at Cleveland, and Lexington, Ky., Monday. The Democratic presidential candidate, climaxing a day-long Whistle-stop trip across Pennsylvania with a nationwide television address here, replied to the President’s charge that Democrats were indulging in “wicked nonsense” in their campaign. Stevenson quoted Mr. Eisenhower as saying Monday that the election will hinge on which party “has done more to help all Americans meet the problems of their daily lives.” Future Aid Stevenson said this was “a proper statement.” “Of course, what matters is which party will do more in the future to help people meet the always new problems of their daily lives,” Stevenson said. “But I am sure that is what the Republican candidate meant,” he said. “And he is right that each party’s past record offers the best test of its future performance. “So if the record is to be the test, let's get the record straight. Gross Indulgence “I think it is too bad that the President indulged himself in such a gross misstatement of the record. I am sure he is an honorable man and could hardly have deliberately intended the misrepresentation which his speech included.” Stevenson said the President claimed credit for the Republican Party for the “enlargement” of Social Security. He said “the fact is that Democrats developed this program against bitter Republican opposition.” Stevenson made similar charges with reference to the President’s remarks about the Minimum Wage Law, farm legislation, the cost of living, aid to small business, civil rights, and other campaign issues. * * * Man is “almost obsolete” in this age when aircraft fly faster than 1000 miles an hour, according to Brig. Gen. Joseph D. Caldara, F.S. Air Force flight safety research director. The general asked 800 delegates attending a meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers yesterday not to forget the pilots in the quest for more aircraft speed and performance. “Part of your job as I see it.” Caldara said,* “is to keep the pilot at the controls as long as his ship can be managed effectively—and, when it can't, to get him out safely.” He reminded the engineers they were not building planes for highly-skilled test pilots, but youn«f lieutenants who fly them in day-to-day operations. “Give these kids a chance to change their minds and make it back to the field without ha\ing to push the ‘next-to-kin* button and eject themselves,” the general said. After praising aircraft designers for the advances in aviation Caldara asked why engineers could not develop a landing brake other than the drag parachute and better latches on landing gear covers. He likened the drag brake to a sea anchor and “unreadable” runway markers to ar-, chaie channel buoys. He suggested the engineers figure out a dial which would give pilots their speed as well as distance traveled down the runway on takeoffs. Caldara said that in the early days of aviation a hatch cover could open and not get bent. Now, he said, they rip 1 off and make big holes in the plane. + * * ALBANY — (UP) — Lucky G.
