McCarthy yesterday publicly denounced President Eisenhower for a “shrinking show of weakness” on the Communist issue and apologized to the American people for supporting him in the 1952 election. Eisenhower immediately fired back with a statement that his administration has convicted, indicted, deported or otherwise moved against 872 persons and 62 subversive organizations in the two years it has been in office. In a clear break with the President, McCarthy blasted Eisenhower for praising two of McCarthy’s senate critics — Sens. Ralph E. Flanders (R-Vt.) and Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah)— and at the same time urging “patience, tolerance and niceties” toward Red China. The Republican Party leadership sharply rebuked McCarthy. Republican National Chairman Leonard W. Hall said “Sen. McCarthy has made a major error.” Hall added that “President Eisenhower was fighting the Communists quite a few years before Sen. McCarthy made his maiden speech on the subject in the Senate.” I'NITED NATIONS — The United States yesterday accused Red China of holding prisoner four more American airmen in violation of the Korean Truce agreement. U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge submitted the new charge shortly after the U.S. | and its Korean War allies asked the U.N. to negotiate through Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold for the release of 11 American fliers impri-ooned by the Chinese Communists as spies and of all other allied war prisoners still held. In a letter to Hammarskjold., Lodge said that in addition to the 11 originally listed in the charge against the Peiping regime on Dec.- 4, "There are four American airmen who were captured while engaged on missions of the U.N. command in th Korean conflict, and whose detention is admitted by the Chinese Communists ... in violation of the armistice agreement.” WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower intends to work closely with Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland in the new Congress despite their differences, the White House said today. Presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty described reports that the GOP high command is trying to arrange a peace meeting between the President and Knowland as “newspaper fiction.” “We have leaders up there (In Congress) and we’re going to work with them,” he told reporters. “You guys are trying to cause trouble where there isn’t any.” percentage basis,” said drive Co-chairman Jerry McMahon, “but with only one day to go it doesn’t seem likely that we are going to make the quota we have set.” “I’m su^e that the people who didn’t show up had good reasons, but I hope that they will come in on Wednesday. There is no excuse for depriving someone of his life.” . Donations Possible Today Any student who could not keep his appointment or who did not sign up can donate any time today. AFROTC students who are in competition with the NROTC and could not keep their appointments yesterday will also be able to | donate today. The eight-bed Red Cross blood ] unit is located in the basement | of the University Methodist Church, across the street from j the north end of Founders Hall. Signs have been put up throughout the campus to direct students who are not familiar with the location of the church. National Campaign The SC blood drive is a part of a nationwide campaign and will last through December. The theme of the drive is “Give a Life for Christmas.” Dancer Ray Bolger, who volunteered to act as general chairman of the national campaign, has said: “I am asking every American to put the blood center on his shopping list. Give a pint of blood and know that you are giving someone his life for Christmas.” Blood collected by the Red Cross is put to an infinite number of uses. The Los Angeles Regional Blood Center supplies whole blood derivatives to most of the hospitals in Los Angeles and Orange counties. All known hemiphilics in this area are also dependent upon the Red Cross. Although the Red Cross does little research of its own, it supplies funds and whole blood for researchers. According to E. M. Schottland, administrative director of the Los Angeles Regional Blood Center, there is no known substitute for whole blood or its derivatives. Substitute Seen “With the continuance of research, however, we may someday be able to produce a synthetic substitute,” he said. “Literally hundreds of people in this area are kept alive by weekly transfusions of blood,” Schottland continued. “No one who is given blood from the Red Cross is ever charged for it. If a charge appears on their hospital bill, it is added by the hospital to cover the cost of transfusio.n” KUSC Offers Producer Jobs For Students Positions are being offered by the telecommunications department to students interested in production, programming, publicity, and administration in connection with KUSC, SC’s television station. The project will give practical experience to as many students as possible. Newly assigned producer-direct ors are Jan Curry, Paul Du-mane, Wally French, James Crumpacker, Charles Buzzard, Al Uzzell, and Hugh Dormody. Students who have completed their assignments as producer-directors are Peter Sterne, Dick Tuber, Bill Croarkin, Curt Hun-gerford, and Dick Porter. Programs scheduled for today are “What’s My Name?,” “Drama from the Printed Page,” “Music in th* Afternoon,” and “DT on rVT\”

Hall said “Sen. McCarthy has made a major error.” Hall added that “President Eisenhower was fighting the Communists quite a few years before Sen. McCarthy made his maiden speech on the subject in the Senate.” I'NITED NATIONS — The United States yesterday accused Red China of holding prisoner four more American airmen in violation of the Korean Truce agreement. U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge submitted the new charge shortly after the U.S. | and its Korean War allies asked the U.N. to negotiate through Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold for the release of 11 American fliers impri-ooned by the Chinese Communists as spies and of all other allied war prisoners still held. In a letter to Hammarskjold., Lodge said that in addition to the 11 originally listed in the charge against the Peiping regime on Dec.- 4, "There are four American airmen who were captured while engaged on missions of the U.N. command in th Korean conflict, and whose detention is admitted by the Chinese Communists ... in violation of the armistice agreement.” WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower intends to work closely with Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland in the new Congress despite their differences, the White House said today. Presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty described reports that the GOP high command is trying to arrange a peace meeting between the President and Knowland as “newspaper fiction.” “We have leaders up there (In Congress) and we’re going to work with them,” he told reporters. “You guys are trying to cause trouble where there isn’t any.” percentage basis,” said drive Co-chairman Jerry McMahon, “but with only one day to go it doesn’t seem likely that we are going to make the quota we have set.” “I’m su^e that the people who didn’t show up had good reasons, but I hope that they will come in on Wednesday. There is no excuse for depriving someone of his life.” . Donations Possible Today Any student who could not keep his appointment or who did not sign up can donate any time today. AFROTC students who are in competition with the NROTC and could not keep their appointments yesterday will also be able to | donate today. The eight-bed Red Cross blood ] unit is located in the basement | of the University Methodist Church, across the street from j the north end of Founders Hall. Signs have been put up throughout the campus to direct students who are not familiar with the location of the church. National Campaign The SC blood drive is a part of a nationwide campaign and will last through December. The theme of the drive is “Give a Life for Christmas.” Dancer Ray Bolger, who volunteered to act as general chairman of the national campaign, has said: “I am asking every American to put the blood center on his shopping list. Give a pint of blood and know that you are giving someone his life for Christmas.” Blood collected by the Red Cross is put to an infinite number of uses. The Los Angeles Regional Blood Center supplies whole blood derivatives to most of the hospitals in Los Angeles and Orange counties. All known hemiphilics in this area are also dependent upon the Red Cross. Although the Red Cross does little research of its own, it supplies funds and whole blood for researchers. According to E. M. Schottland, administrative director of the Los Angeles Regional Blood Center, there is no known substitute for whole blood or its derivatives. Substitute Seen “With the continuance of research, however, we may someday be able to produce a synthetic substitute,” he said. “Literally hundreds of people in this area are kept alive by weekly transfusions of blood,” Schottland continued. “No one who is given blood from the Red Cross is ever charged for it. If a charge appears on their hospital bill, it is added by the hospital to cover the cost of transfusio.n” KUSC Offers Producer Jobs For Students Positions are being offered by the telecommunications department to students interested in production, programming, publicity, and administration in connection with KUSC, SC’s television station.
