The eleven candidates who
turned in their petitions for elec­tion
to the Aris and Sciences Stu­dent
Council before the Cardinal
deadline were asked a few ques­tions
pertaining to their quali­fications,
ideas on the Council
and elections on campus.
The following are thE> replies
of those who consented to answer.
When asked if they thought
"the Student Council elections are
held in such a vyay that the best
qua lified people on campus are
elected", eight replied "yes". Cliff
Rompf Jr., Peggy Moll, Herb Keb­schull
and LaQuaeti Goodman
thought the elections could be im­proved.
Combines Bad
Romp[ suggests combines · be
made illegal. Peggy Moll thinks
"candidates should be considered
more carefully" and adds that
"too often it is the organization
und not the person who is elect­ed."
Kebschull agrees that stu­den
ts should be better' acquainted
with the candidates.
LaQuaeti Goodman states that
the efforts of "larger organiza­tions
to see how many represen­ta
t ives they can get on the Coun­cil"
creates an unfavorable con­d
ition.

$5,1 SO In Grants For Research Awarded
To Richard Wiley and Gradus Shoemaker
By JOE OGLESBY
l::'r. Richard H. \-\Tiley, head of the Chemistry Department ,
and Dr. Gadus L. Shoemaker, a professor in the department, have
been awarded grants for research totaling $5,150 by the Hesearch
Corporation of New York.
A $3,150 grant to Dr. Wiley is
the supplement to an award he
received last year for research in­to
pyrones, which are used in
pharmaceutical drugs and insecti­cides.
The remaining $2000 to Dr.
Shoemaker is for research into
reactions of nitro Mannich bases,
which are intermediates as phar­maceuticals.
According to Dr. Wiley, practi­cal
applications are secondary; it
is research for the sake of re-search.
"These grants are enabling
graduates to work toward high­er
degrees and enabling them to
get subsistence wh.i!.e working on
research," said Dr. Shoemaker.
Concerning the research foun­dation
Dr. Wiley had this to say:
"The objective of these grants is
to support research in schools that
are trying to develop research
programs. It is hoped that these
grants will provide the stimulus
that will greatly advance re­search."
Smith Aided
Funds for chemicals and equip­ment,
in addition to a fellow­ship
for a graduate research as­sistant,
are made possiQle by the
grants. Dr. N. R. Smith, the first
post-doctoral fellow of the Uni­versity,
is being aided by the
grant to Dr. Wiley.
The Research Corporation, a
nonprofit educational and scien­tific
foundation, distributes its
total net income through grants
to colleges, universities, and
scientific institutions for the ad­vancem'ent
of science and techno­logy.

Students Hear Bingham
Speak On ECA In France
By LINDSEY CRITTENDEN
ECA funds going to France are not being wasted, according
to Mr. Barry Bingham, president of the Courier ]ournad and Times.
Bingham, former chief of the
Economics Cooperation Adminis­tration
in France, told the Alli­ance
Francaise group at Garden­court
Tuesday night that he
wanted to make a report to the
"stockholders of the Marshall
Plan" since we as taxpayers have
contributed a great deal financi­ally
to the rehabilitation of the
French people.
"No- country in all history has
attempted a job, so speculative at
the beginning, and achieved so
much in three years," he added.
The purpose of the Marshall
Plan or the ECA is to help France
lift herself to her feet and to as­sist
in the return of a healthy and
stable peace, against the forces of
poverty, hunger and chaos.
The cost of the plan, stated Mr.
Bingham, has been over two bil­lion
dollars in the last three years.
question first in the minds of
Americans is, "Will France stand
up against Soviet aggression?"
"Today the answer is probably
yes," remarked the former Com­missioner,
"but there are three
conditions which must be taken
into consideration."
First the French must be given
a little time to rearm. Second,
there must be a well-integrated,
well-coordinated plan for the
fighting forces of Europe. The
third consideration is that the
French people themselves must
believe that the United States will
stand behind them when the time
comes.
"The French suffered not only
almost total destruction in the last
war, but also a great moral de­feat.
The Marshall Plan must be
handled with the upmost care to
bring the best results."
15 Hundred Sign
Freedom Scroll
The Crusade for Freedom drive
on campus netted a total of ap­proximately
1,500 signatures and
$137.82
This was contributed toward the
erection of a radio station in East-rn
Germany which will broadcast
the program "Radio Free Europe"
to the enslaved people living be­hind
the Iron Curtain.
With an approximate enroll­ment
of 6,000 full and part-time
students at the University, the to­tal
number of names obtained
reached a percentage of 25% of
the University's enrollment. The
average contribution per person
was 9.2 cents.
The Freedom campaign was
headed by J erry Bernier, co-chair­man
of the Publicity Commission
of the USC. Alpha Phi Omega ser­vice
fraternity, Delta Alpha Ep­silon
Men's Adult Education fra­ternity
and Sigma Delta Nu, Wo­men's
Adult Education sorority,
cooperated in putting the Crusade
over.
Jerry Bernier commented that
there was a decided lack of in­terest
in the campaign, but said
that this was due in part to com­peting
campaigns in the commu­nity.
A breakdown of signers by
schools is Grad., 6; Kent, 9; NRO
TC, 51, Speed, 149; DAE, 511;
A&S, 612.
DAE raised the greatest amount
of money with A&S following,
the totals being $86.53 and $40,
respectively.

fold. The ECA is sending United
States credit to the French, but
the French government also ' has
a counterpart fund. Mr. Bingham
cited this example: a farmer who
wants to buy a tractor goes to his
government agency and orders
one. He must pay the fl\ll face
value for the tractor in French
money, the franc. This sum is then
placed in the counterpart fund
and is used for goods that can
be bought in France for francs.
Red China Should Have

For the first year most of the
ECA help went for food; malnu­trition
was high in that country.
Now more than half is being used
for buying raw materials for the
recovery of industry. Cotton, oil
and copper are needed by French
industry.

men like McCarthy will call them

All principal radio networks
will broadcast from Berlin the
beginning of a ceremony dedicat­ing
the new Freedom Bell, sym­bol
of the "Crusade For Freedom."
Mayor Charles Farnsley has
selected Dr. George Brodschi, di­rector
of the U of L International
Center, as chairman of the cele­bration
in Louisville.
The local program starts with
a student prayer, and then a band,
not yet named, will play the UN
march and the national anthem.
Next, Dr. Brodschi will deliver
an explanation of the UN cele­bration
in Berlin. The Playhouse
will then be connected with the
Berlin radio to hear the festivit ies
in Germany first hand.
Bells To Ring
The international ceremony will
begin at 11 :00 am, Louisville
time, with a two-minute period
of prayerful silence for peace and
freedom.
Immediately following, at 11:02,
the bells on this campus, together
with church, school and other
bells in town and throughout
America, will ring during and
following the remaining few
minutes of this around-the-world
broadcast.
Simultaneously, the new Free­dom
Bell will be heard over the
air, ringing for the first time from
the Rathaus Tower in the Western
sector of Berlin, symbolical of all
free people's belief in freedom,
justice, and world peace.
Radio Free Europe, the private­ly
financed transmitter some­where
in Western Germany, will
beam the notes and the cere­monies
toward point;; behind the
iron curtain.
Program Transcribed
During this ceremony, thou­sands
of Freedom Scrolls, con­taining
the signatures of millions
of Americans who have signed
the Declaration of Freedom, will
be enshrined in the base of the
Freedom Bell. This ceremony will
climax the Crusade For Freedom
campaign launched on Labor Day
by General Dwight D. Eisen­hower,
president of Columbia
University.
To end the Louisville program,
delegations of various l o c a l
schools and colleges will ride on
fire trucks carrying posters re­presenting
53 different nations.
The trucks will proceed to the
I downtown area. Station WHAS
will transcribe the program and
will rebroadcast it later Tuesday
night.
While KA Drowses,
Burglar Browses
By RONALD MYLES
Tragedy took the form of a
thief last Friday morning, much to
the dismay of Kapa Alpha Fra­ternity.
Between one and seven
a.m., as Lynn Mitchell slept in
the fraternity house, someone
opened the door and left shortly
afterwards with a considerable
oot.
This loot consists of five or six
trophies, one of them last year's
football championship a w a r d.
This same thief, or thieves, calm­ly
went into the room where Mit­chell
was sleeping and disposessed
him of a wallet containing thirty
dollars, two suits. a sports coat,
some shirts, and a pair of shoes.
Mitchell stated his appreciation
for their leaving a suit, overcoat,
and a pair of shoes, evidently
overlooked. He was alone in the
house during the theft.
Medical School Receives
Grant. For Virus Study
M:r. William 0. Carver, Jr., third
member of the panel, disagreed
with Hicks and Broden. He stated
the United Nations should reject
Red China's leaders because they
have, not yet proved themselves
competent to carry on a govern­ment.
"Furthermore", he added, "Chi­na
is keeping up an army instead
of feeding the people and is men­acing
Korea."
There seems to be little material
for the police to go on as yet.
This is not the first event here of
its kind. Sorority and fraternity
houses have been the victims of
frequent robberies; this perhaps
stems from the fact that their
doors are always open. KA house
was robbed a while back and
Lynn Mitchell's typewriter was
stolen.
A grant for research into the viruses was recently made to the
U of L Medical School by the Kentucky Child Health Foundation.
"This lab will be used for the
study of virus diseases. It will
be equipped to handle research
In all virus diseases, although it
will be primarily concerned with
'diseases common in childhood.
These include polio, measles, and
mumps."
This was the comment of Dr.
Murray Kinsman, Dean of the
Medical School, on the new Lalr­oratory
for research in virus dis­eases.
The grant was announced last
week by Dr. James W. Bruse,
president of the foundation. The
amount of money was not dis­closed.
· The Medical School had
already set aside some money
from it research fUild to start the
laboratory.
Lut yeer the first chair in cbild
health in the United States was
set up at the University of Louis­ville.
It was established by the
Kentucky Child Health Founda­tion.
The virus lab is the first in
Kentucky.
Dr. James A. Kennedy, head of
the U of L bacteriology depart­ment,
will supervise the labor­atory.
Dr. James G. Shaffer, as­sociate
professor of bacteriology
and virology, will have charge of
the laboratory work. Dr. Alex J.
Steigman, epidemiologist and pro­fessor
of child health, will work
with the laboratory staff.
The Kentucky Child Health
Foundation was established last
year by a group of citizens inter­ested
in fighting childhood dis-ellllell.
GRANT HICKS
Mr. Grant W. Hicks, asso~iate
professer of political science and
history at U of L, made this state­ment
on the October 13 broadcast
of Let's Talk it Over." (WHAS,
9:30 P.M., Friday).
'If we do not admit Red China",
Hicks continued,"we will deny
representation to 450 million peo­ple."
Mr. Carl Braden, ·another mem­ber
of the panel, agreed with
Hicks, and stated that Chiang­Kai-
