HC Makes $300 Freedom Race
CHRISTMAS SHOW
By JERRY BURNS
A move to investigate TNE on campus all but completely obliterated other actions taken at Wednesday night’s ASSC Senate meeting.
Included in the almost-forgotten mass of business handled by the student leaders were a preliminary money report on Homecoming, two sug- i gested helps for commuting students. an SC culture series on campus and other legislation.
“The Homecoming dance lost money hut it was more than balanced by other revenues,” Stan Miller told the Senate. He said the preliminary count shows that Homecoming is approximately $300 in the black.
Commuter Motions
Senator-at-Large Lauretta Misraje came up with a pair of commuter-helping motions. The first requests that the university try to deal with the Metropolitan Transit Co. to obtain reduced car hooks for Trojans using busses and streetcars.
The Senate was told, however, that the previous policy of transit companies was to give bargain hooks only to public schools.
The other Misraje motion, to re-create the commuter car pool, was referred to Bob Ladd's Greater University Committee.
A former plan revolved around a huge map of the LA area which was cut into small numbered zones.

To be free was the sole motive behind his premeditated “flight to freedom,” said Frank Jirecki, the young Polish Mig pilot, in his talk yesterday before the second meeting of the SC Air Force Association Flight.
“In Poland and behind the Iron Curtain there is only tyranny, not freedom. That’s why I decided to escape,” the Mig ace said. “I escaped from Poland because I was afraid, afraid I would be arrested.”
Jarecki said that ever since World War II. when Russia took over Poland, the Polish people have lived in constant fear. A knock at the door of a Pole’s house at 2 a.m. and a low voice saying “police” might mean death for anyone. No one knows when the knock might come. Everything is controlled, by the Communists: even homes are owned by the government and j are rented to the people.
Play-by-Play Account Jarecki gave the group of stu- | dents a play-by-play account of his reknown flight. He decided to escape in November, 1952. It was then that he met a Russian officer, who gave him secret information that 10 fliers would be sent across the Baltic Sea to Poland in the spring of 1953. “It was then and there that I decided to set March 5, 1953 as a date for my escape," he said.
When the magic date came, Jarecki was assigned to take four jets from his air force base to Poland. “As I flew over the Russian air base, I sent two jets ahead and the one behind me to the left. I took off to the right at 700 m.p.h., northbound toward Denmark. I picked up on my radio that one of the pilots was alerting the Russian base of my escape, so I dropped below the radar screen.
Orders to Shoot “Four jets were immediately launched with orders to shoot me down; I had to fly extremely low. I tuned in on their frequency, which luckily was different from mine, just in time to hear them radio, ‘We lost him,’ and I replied to myself, ‘Good!’ ” Jarecki then headed his jet across the North Sea to the small Danish island of Bornholm. When he landed on a grass-cov-ered airstrip at the Roenne Airport, he could hear jets whizzing by overhead.
He then noticed some officers coming toward him, but he found that he couldn’t speak their Danish tongue. "Somehow I got the idea across that I had escaped the Iron Curtain, and immediately they offered me asylum. I was later to receive asylum from six nations, among which was the United States," Jarecki said.

UCLA STUDENT
Investigator Airs Motives For Slaying
By JIM BYLIN
The mystery surrounding the eight-month-old death of Sheldon J. Abrams, Socialist infiltrator at UCLA, continued to deepen today with the announcement by Richard E. Combs, counsel for the State Senate Committee on Un-American Activities, that he is acquiring information concerning motives behind the possible murder.
Slain by Reds?
Combs, immediately after the close of the investigation on Red infiltration on the Westwood campus Tuesday, offered the opinion that Abrams, a Trotskyite Socialist, was most likely slain by a group of "Stalinist Communists.” This was then verified by Combs when he informed the metropolitan papers that he is receiving and possesses more evidence than was brought out in the hearing. Reopening Case Testimony brought out by qualified toxicologists from UCLA that the death, caused by 71 per cent carbon monoxide in the blood, could not have been accidental or suicide, has also caused the announcement by Santa Monica Police Chief Otto Faulkner that the case is to be reopened.
Combs contends that the death was brought about by Glen Hollinger, IR president and chairman of the SC pumping carbon monoxide into delegation to the mock United Nations to be held in April the lungs of Abrams.

This story h^.d its beginning one year ago today and ended Christmas morning. 1955.
On Dec. 14. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Trenton and their 22-year-old son. Ralph, drove north to spend a short vacation with Mr. Trenton's mother.
A wonderful surprise awaited young Trenton. In the driveway of Mrs. Trenton's home was a cream-colored 1955 Thunderbird. It was a Christmas present to Ralph from his grandmother.
Start For Home
Mr. Trenton drove back to L.A. ahead of his family. Ralph and his mother started for home on Dec. 24 in the new Thunderbird.
At 7:25 on Christmas morning a passing truck driver saw a cream - colored car smashed against a concrete lamp-stand-: ard on Cahuenga pass. The lamp-standard was demolished. The Thunderbird was a total wreck.
Ralph la\ dead beside his new car. Mrs. Trenton was unconscious but still alive. She was wedged in between the front seat and the dashboard.
Mother’s Injuries Listed
The mother's injuries were I listed as a six-inch laceration of the scalp, two fractured ankles, spinal fracture, multinle contusions and a crushing injury which ] fractured her lower and upper j jaw bones and destroyed her I tongue.	I
I of at least five other Commun-j ist-directed assassinations in j last five years. He does not believe, however, that Abrams' death was “linked" to these Red-attributed crimes.
Testimony at the hearing indicated that Abrams was at UCLA solely as a campus recruiter for the Young Socialist League. Combs quoted a letter written by Abrams and found in his ransacked Santa Monica bungalow that the graduate student’s reason for registering was “purely political.” University records back this up by showing that he never attended any classes.
Resisted Change Other letters showed Abrams as resisting the new face of unity of the International Communism when the “Stalinist Communists” attempted to bring the Socialists into the “popular front.”
Abrams was the UCLA leader of the non-subversive Young Socialists League and testimony showed that he had failed in using the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as a dupe for infiltrating the Bruin campus.

Holiday Talk Planned By Bishop Northcutt
Mr. Trenton was notified and made identifications.
Today, Mrs. Trenton is being cared for in a sanitarium. She is totally paralyzed. The lower part of her face is destroyed so she is fed through the nose.
“I have been able to accept the fact that my only son is dead,” says Mr. Trenton today, “but I don’t believe I will ever be able to accept this living death, this horror that was once my gloved wife.”
There are many photos published of automobile accidents with bodies lying nearby, covered with blankets. In some cases, perhaps the captions should read. “These victims are dead — thank God they are.”

Film Twins Will Address Cinema Meet
Twin brothers will address the cinema department and show their academy award winning documentary film, “A Time Out of War.” at a meeting today at noon at the cinema building.
Written and directed by Dennis and Terry Saunders, the film tells the story of two Union soldiers and a Confederate soldier who are forced together under unusual circumstances during the fierce fighting of the Civil War.
The problem confronting them is whether to try to shoot each ; other to bits or act like civilized human beings. Their decision is i one to be pondered during today’s war and bloodshed.
This film, which was done as thesis work while the brothers attended UCLA, won the academy award for best short subject in 1954 and the College Film Production Award from the Screen Producers Guild in the same year.
