Jurors Selected For Unusual Trial Of Publisher
Las Vegas, Nev.—(U.P.)-Selection of a jury to hear charges that Las Vegas Sun publisher Herman M. Greenspun sought through his newspaper to "incite the murder or assassination" of Sen. Joseph McCarthy moves into the second day in Federal Court today.
The trial, rare in the annals of American journalism, is being heard before Federal Judge John R. Ross, of Carson City, Nev. Judge Ross is substituting for Federal Judge Roger Suley, who disqualified himself from Jones of his five former sons are representing the 45-year-old publisher.
In an unusual procedure Judge Ross questioned the prospective jurors personally in exhaustive detail since Mr. Greenspun has become a highly controversial figure in this gambling mecca.
At the end of the first day of the trial, eight men and three women occupied the jury box, but the government and the defense between them had 14 peremptory challenges yet to exercise.
Mr. Greenspun is charged with having sent 874 copies of the Sun issue containing the column through the mails on Jan. 8, 1954, in violation of a federal postal law under which there have been only two previous prosecutions.
The federal judge was interested particularly in the feelings of the prospective jurors concerning Sen. McCarthy. Of 22 persons questioned, only one was excused because of a strong like or dislike for the Wisconsin Republican.
I fncovicted, the publisher could be sentenced up to five years in federal prison, fined a maximum of $5,000, or a combination of the two. He also has accused Sen. McCarthy of being responsible for his indictment in retaliation for his numerous attacks upon the senator in his newspaper.

University Offers Students Aid in Improving Study Skills
By MARION McCOY
For more than 10 years the University has offered help to students for improving their study skills. This help has come in the form of a voluntary program. No University credit is given, and no special fees are charged, but the students who request help learn to study efficiently.
Dr. H. P. Smith, director of the Reading laboratory, said more than 300 students have requested assistance with their reading and study problems this year. The class periods are also devoted to the study of preparing for examinations and preparing term papers.
To review effectively the student is urged to condense what he is attempting to learn and to make notes that will help him. The competent student must have a broad general vocabulary, and he must acquire the special vocabulary of each course he takes.
The student is encouraged to read purposefully. For effective study he
must recite to himself and question
what he reads and interpret it in
terms of what he already knows.
The student must know how to use
the school library, the dictionary,
and his textbooks.
Three times a week for six weeks groups of students meet with experienced teachers for study aid. The program is intended primarily for students who have a desire to learn how to study effectively.
The specific topics the program offers are study methods and practice skills. The student is helped to find a study plan to suit his schedule. He is urged not to try to remember every word he hears, but to tie what he learns into his general framework of understanding.
The student is encouraged to scan an assignment before he reads it and to decide upon a question or two it should answer for him. This encourages the student to set and form specific goals. He is unable to use review time in his money schedule.
Bulwark of Freedom
This belief is the militant spirit of Christianity which can defeat Communism — and can defeat any other "ism" which threatens our God-given freedom, and is the answer to man's eternal question, "What is life's purpose?"
Won't you join us today in reaffirming our belief in God in the Episcopal Church near you?
Episcopalians, too, have a creed. They follow the belief of the Ancient Church which is based on the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. Both start, "I believe in God." The Episcopal Church is a "believing" church — believing in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, one God — believing that Jesus Christ came to earth to save man from himself, and to establish a divine society in which all men are brothers.
Every man believes in something! He has a creed—a "belfief." He may find its expression in "isms," political theories, or what not. He seeks an answer to the question, "What is Life's Purpose?"
Christianity gives
that answer. It has stood for 2,000 years when all other "isms" and beliefs have fallen by the wayside.
