Good Security System Needed, Murphy Says
By DARLINE MONTGOMERY
"We in the United States must have a good, essentially foolproof, system of internal security as relates to national defense," Franklin D. Murphy said last night to the Graduate club. The chancellor spoke on "National Security and New Knowledge."
"This system must be built by those who understand the need of a system of internal security and by those who are dedicated to maintaining civil liberties. This must be done in an unemotional fashion. There must be no hysteria or insecurity. The system must be constructed completely outside of the political arena," he said.
"No longer does military success depend on military secrets such as the disposition of troops and naval vessels. The lifeblood of military strength now is new knowledge. This knowledge comes from research. War and the defense against war have moved into the dimension of scientific know-how," he said.
"The thing in the United States which has brought the question of national security and new knowledge forward is the new dimension in which war is now carried on.
"Defense has moved from the battle field to the laboratory. Throughout the American education system there are instructors and departments which are carrying out research with the Army and Navy.
Chancellor Murphy said almost all of the problems of security and national defense are worked out in our universities. Universities in the United States, more than in any other country, are tied up with research and security, he said.
"The system of security, as relates to the clearance and stamping of military secrets, is not operating well. It must be in some respects, fundamentally changed. In some respects it must be made tighter."
"The system must guarantee security and internal integrity. This is difficult for those of us in the United States because we have had no experience in these things. The American people have been a free people. We have never really been required to set up a system of national security which also involves institutions of higher learning.
"It is close to insanity to believe we can go around unarmed. In terms of national security there can be no compromise," he said.
Scelba Thwarts Pro-Red Move
Rome—(U.P.)-Premier Mario Scelba won a vote of confidence in Parliament today against a last-minute pro-Communist move to thwart his departure tomorrow for the United States.
The Chamber of Deputies rejected a resolution introduced by the leftwing Socialists of Pietro Nenni, which asked the government for assurances that Premier Seebla would make no decision in the joint Italian-American exploitation of Italy's newly discovered oil fields.
The official vote was 278 to 211 against the Socialist motion, with five abstentions.
Premier Soelba had labeled the move a "pretext" to embarrass him during his talks with U.S. leaders. He made rejection of the Socialist resolution a confidence issue.
Recruitment Only Communists and Socialists in the chamber supported the antigovernment motion. In debate yesterday, the leftist attackers had charged Premier Sclela was planning to "gamble" in Washington with the oil resources.
The premier won an important victory last night when the chamber postponed local elections until 1956.
Scholarship Blanks Due
Seclba is scheduled to leave for Canada and the United States tomorrow.

Money Bill Due In Kansas House
Topeka — (U.P.)— The Kansas House today passes its first major money bill of the 1955 legislative session.
The roll-call sends the $642,947 appropriation measure to the Senate, where approval likely will come quickly.
The bill provides one-year operation of the state's agricultural service agencies, most of them in the State Board of Agriculture.
With one exception, the measure's provisions are the recommendations of Gov. Fred Hall. His budget was exceeded by $5,000 for the pure seed division of the Agriculture board.
The House also moved along two Senate-approved bills to expand the state's educational program for exceptional, mentally retarded and homebound children.
Problems of planning and financing regional shopping centers keynoted the principal addresses yesterday at the regional architects conference here.
Architects Study Shopping Areas
Victor Gruen, Los Angeles architect, gave an inclusive view of the planning problem, showing slides contrasting the Northland shopping center in Detroit—possibly Michigan's best center—with a smaller center in southern California.
Marvin C. Holmes, Kansas City, Mo., of the Equitable Life insurance association, speaking at the second session, stressed the importance of a land survey prior to the closing of any financial loan and the need for the owner to understand the basic costs involved in building and renting space intelligently.
Kenneth G. Welch, Grand Rapids, Iowa, architect, spoke on "Neighborhood Characteristics—the Base of Operations," at 9 a.m. today. He also spoke at a luncheon today on "Tomorrow's Shopping Problems."
Mr. Gruen gave an illustrated talk last night, accenting the detailed parts of design, both on the inside and outside of shopping centers. He mentioned lighting, color, and display cases.
