New Map Spotlights Kev Great Lakes Area
Washington—North America's five Great Lakes—a third of the earth's sweet-water area—are spotlighted on a new map that the National Geographic society is distributing this month to its more than two million members.
The 10-color map, "The Great Lakes Region of the United States and Canada," shows all or part of 22 states and three provinces, from Minnesota to New Brunswick, Ontario to Kentucky.
Nearly one-third of the American people -48 million -live in only five of the lake-bordering states -New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Three of the nation's seven largest cities, Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland, stand beside the Lakes, Montreal, Canada's leading metropolis, overlooks the St. Lawrence river outlet.
Closely packed place names (11,-950 of them), plus a tight mesh of travel routes, hint in cartographers' shorthand at the fact that the area covered is the most populous of the continent.
The Great Lakes are of incalculable economic value both to the United States and Canada. So big they could be seen from the moon with the naked eye, they have provided such assorted benefits as transportation, rich fisheries, and scenic playgrounds.
Map notes printed in blue on the face of each of the Great Lakes point to the canals, locks, and dredged river channels that have opened a continuous passage from western Lake Superior to the mouth of the St. Lawrence river.
Ships that ply the vast inland waterway with such cargoes as iron ore, grains, and automobiles carry more tonnage annually than does the entire oceangoing merchant fleet of the United States.
Three large-scale insets hold the magnifying glass to these links. The fourth, in the Chicago area, shows the start of the Illinois Waterway on its winding course that joins the lake system to the mid-continent traffic artery, the Mississippi.
Melodious Indian names scattered over the Geographic's map recall early exploration and settlement days.
Lakes Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario all have names with Indian associations. Only Lake Superior, from the French phrase for "upper lake" is without the Indian touch.
A few primeval spots remain in the highly developed Great Lakes region. Two where wilderness conditions have been deliberately preserved are Ontario's Quetico Provincial park and the adjoining Superior National park of the United States.
The atomic erase is also noted in the Canadian nuclear research station of Chalk river, the U.S. study center at Argonne National laboratory near Chicago, and New York's Brookhaven National laboratory.
J. B. Whitworth, Oklahoma A&M football coach, has been named by Missouri Valley league coaches as that loop's coach of the year.
Taylor Called For Quizzing
Washington — (U.P.)— Sen. Joseph McCarthy said today his investigating subcommittee will subpena retired Brig. Gen. Telford Taylor for questioning about possible security leaks at the Army's Fort Monmouth, N.J., radar center.
McCarthy opened today's subcommittee hearing on Ft. Monmouth with the announcement that Tavler will be called.
The Wisconsin Republican and Taylor, now in private law practice at New York City, have exchanged verbal blows during the past two weeks. Taylor opened the exchanges with sharp criticism of McCarthy's investigation of the radar center.
Today McCarthy asserted:
"Taylor has interested himself very greatly in the Fort Monmouth investigation. Some of his associates indicate he may be able to give us information of some value."
McCarthy said he also wants to see if Taylor "is getting a pension or how the government is supporting him."
Taylor was the one-time chief prosecutor in the Nuernberg war crimes trial. His last job in the Federal service was as small defense plants administrator in 1951-52
Addressing the Cadet corps at the U.S. Military Academy Nov. 22, Taylor declared the Fort Monmouth investigation was "a most dangerous threat to morale and efficiency of the Army." McCarthy responded Saturday by demanding that Academy officials explain who was responsible for inviting Taylor. McCarthy also said Taylor's civil service record was "flagged" with the notation "umresolved question of loyalty."
Banquet Will Honor Engineering Seniors
A banquet in honor of senior engineer will be held at 6:30 p.m. to day in the Kansas room of the Student Union.
The program includes an address by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and an informal talk by Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, director of the atomic power plant program.
There are still tickets available.
They may be purchased at the engineer-
ing office in Marvin hall. Prices are $1.25 for Engineering association members and $2 for non-members-

Ike Fires Democrats Names GOP Claims Board
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower today fired the two remaining Democratic members of the War Claims commission after they refused to resign from their $14,000-a-year-jobs.
Two gay, traditional songs gave the chorus material for rousing but tasteful singing—the rhythmic "I Saw Three Ships," an English song, and "People Look East," French.
"Beautiful Saviour," arranged by Christiansen, opened the program with a muted, organ-like tone, unexpected of the large group. The Appalachian folk song, "I Wonder as I Wander" featured Barbara Barnes, education junior, as soloist. Miss Barnes' interpretation expressed the beautiful simplicity of this carol.
Soloist Peggy Wilson, fine arts sophomore, sang "Jesu Banbino," by Yon. The carol was enhanced by Wilson's clear and expressive solo.
The vigorous Bach chorale, "Break Forth, Oh Beauteous Heavenly Light," closed an inspiring evening of varied selections from many lands.
A small audience attended the concert of Christmas music given by the University chorus under the direction of Clayton F. Krebhel last night in Hoch auditorium.
Clayton Krehbiel and the chorus are to be congratulated on their presentation of the program-audience participation took away the cold concert hall atmosphere.

Sign-Ups for Wright Trip to End Friday
Members of the audience left with the warm glow which singing the wonderful old carols seems to produce!
The carol service was the first Christmas program of the season.
Tomorrow is the deadline for engineering students to apply for the trip to Bartlesville, Okla., to hear Frank Lloyd Wright, architect, Donald Schlegel, instructor in architecture, said today. The cost will be $6.25, which includes $5 bus transportation and $1.25 for the lecture. Tickets may be purchased in the architecture office, room 114, Marvin hall. The group will leave at noon, Thursday, Jan. 7 and return at 3 a.m. the next day.
He named a new three-man commission—all Republicans to replace the two dismissed Democrat and an incumbent Cleary, also Democrat, who died recently.

White House press secretary James C. Hagerty was asked why Eisenhower asked for the resignations. Hagerty replied that the President asked them to resign and removed them from office after they refused to quit.
The President named as new commissioners:
Eisenhower notified Mrs. Georgia L. Lusk and Myron Wiener that they are being removed from office as of tomorrow. Both had refused to submit their resignations as requested last August.

Souped-Up Heaters to Keep Actress—And GI's—Sizzling
Western Front, Korea — (U.P.) American ingenuity and technical "know-how" were enlisted today to conquer Korea's frigid winter weather after GI's learned that actress Terry Moore has promised to strip as far as weather permits on her front-line Christmas tour of Korea.
GI engineers hastily whipped up plans for "a souped-up, ram-jet back-blast, hot-air heater" which they guarantee will make curvaceous Miss Moore think she's in the tropics.
The enthusiastic engineers promised that their heater, when completed, will warm Miss Moore to a sizzling 180 degrees, even if she performs in an outdoor theater.
periments in all our duties.
"We'll make sure the weather 'permits,'" said 2nd Lt. Julian O. Crouch, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and the 185th engineer combat battalion.
Lt. Crouch quickly sketched his plans for a wooden canopy under which Miss Moore can perform. The structure, he said, would be heated by two, of the souped-up "Herman Nelson" forced air heaters.
"These things," Lt. Crouch said with obvious pride, "put out a hell of a lot of hot air."
The Hollywood star, one of many coming to Korea this Christmas, plans to strip down to an ermine bathing suit, which she'll be wearing under GI shirt and trousers.
"she'll feel like a snowball in hell." Lt. Crouch promised. "The thing would make even a normal bathing suit uncomfortable."
Lt. Crouch said his engineers have agreed to work overtime to build the heaters and wooden canopy. "We may even built a sort of box on top of the canopy for the two of us to sit in," the masterminds of the construction project said. "The view from there would be better."
Ike Orders Query On Rye Imports
Washington — (U.P.) President Eisenhower today directed the Tariff commission to make an immediate investigation of the effects of rye imports on the domestic price support program for that grain.
Eisenhower asked the commission to complete its study as "prompted as practicable" to enable him to decide whether rye imports should be limited.
He said agriculture secretary Ezra T. Benson has advised him that imports of rye, including rye flour and meal are "practically certain" to reach such quantities "as to render or tend to render ineffective or materially interfere" with the price support program for the grain.
