FBI Opens Hunt For Nationalists Of Puerto Rico
Communist leaders were held under Law 53, Puerto Rico's anti-subversion law patterned after the United States' Smith act under which Communist leaders have been indicted and convicted.
New York—(U)R—The New York FBI office disclosed today that it has issued subpoenas to members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist party to appear before a federal grand jury.
James J. Kelly, agent in charge of the New York FBI office, said this morning, "FBI agents have been serving subpoenas this morning on numerous persons, including members of the Nationalist party of Puerto Rico, to appear before the federal grand jury today." He would not expand the statement.
A roundup of Puerto Rican Nationalists and Communists was in its third day in Puerto Rico. Police in San Juan held six top leaders of the Communist party and carried out an island search for four others.
'Faculty Follies Draws Big Crowd
At the same time the government pushed its roundup of Nationalists and sought to link them with the Communist party which has always given them full support. It was the Nationalists who tried to assassinate President Truman in 1950 and carried out the shooting of five congressmen in Washington a week ago.
"Faculty Follies," sponsored Friday night by the Associated Women Students, drew a large crowd for the faculty show and the bidding for faculty members services, effective Saturday night.
Delta Tau Delta fraternity bid high for the services of Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, head basketball coach, and Ted Cox, campus policeman.
Phi Gamma Delta had their Saturday night "house help" augmented by Dr. Laurence Woodruff, dean of students.
Corbin hall won the services of Dean of Women Martha Peterson, and Allen Crafton, professor of speech, went to the Kappa Kappa Gamma house for Saturday night table waiter.

'Joiners' Rush to New Party
By TOM LYONS
(Editor's Note: This article is, in the editor's judgment, an editorial. However its content seems to justify putting it on the news pages of the Daily Kansan.
Three weeks ago a group of six Greek houses decided it was time for a change in campus politics. These houses were tired of belonging to a group that had accumulated so much power that it had become corrupt. By being virtually the only party in campus politics over a long period of time, Pachacamac had evolved into a stagnant group of self-interested beginner politicians.
The members of Pach weren't fooled for a minute by the rash act of the rebels. They knew that it was coming. In fact, a few of the Pach members had been in on the plans for organization of the new party and had changed their minds.
These Pach members came up with a plan they thought could save the power of the party. Instead of going along with the idea of a new party, they decided to make a few superficial changes in the old Pach. They figured that changing the name might delude the rebel houses into thinking their goal of reform had been met.
Well, the new Pach maneuver might have worked—if it hadn't been for the fact that six Greek houses, smelling another ruse, decided that they were fed up. That
was the beginning of the Pach downfall.
That same week six more Greek houses dropped out and the bandwagon began rolling. But not until a meeting of the "maverick" Greek houses (or Allied Greek-Independents) yesterday did the climactic end of Pachacamac take place. For there crammed into every corner of the Student Union Pine room were member houses of the new United Hawks, formerly Pach inner circle members, who would have laughed at the insurgent party a few weeks ago. Now they wanted to join. The bandwagon had begun to roll and they didn't want to be left behind.
Now, if this new organization allows these Pach houses to join.
will have incorporated the same elements from which it boiled and be nothing but another Pach. If it excludes some of the petitioners and admits others, it will be burned in oil.
This is the perplexing problem facing the new group. The only way the new party can keep the ideals which it started with is to keep the party from becoming so powerful that all competition is smothered and another one-party system prevails. An old proverb says, "Powers subjected to no strain atrophy and disappear."
Since there is no device which can measure these petitioning Pach houses' actual belief in the ideals of the new party, how will it be possible to decide which houses are to be admitted—if any?
