Sen, Theodore F. Green, (D—R.I.) said that Mr. Lattimore had asked for additional time to prepare his reply to the Wisconsin Republican's charges. Senator Green also announced the investigators had postponed until tomorrow a decision on whether to subpoena Senator McCarthy's documents.
He said the delay was necessary because Chairman Millard F. Tydings, (D-Md.) of the senate foreign relations investigating subcommittee would not be able to attend today. Senator Tydings arrived here only this morning from the Hague where he attended an Atlantic pact defense strategy meeting.

Greek Houses To Aid Students
Eight fraternities and three sororities will take part in a program sponsored by the state department to help German students see how democracy works and how American college students live.
Starting next September, 11 students will attend the University with the help of the groups. Some of the students will live at the organized houses and others will eat their meals there.
J. A. Burzle, associate professor of German in charge of the program, said that a list of applicants will be sent to K.U. so that the organizations may choose the students they want. The applications tell of the student's activities, interests, and majors.
The groups taking part in the program are: Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Sigma Kappa sororities, and Acacia, Delta Tau Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Phi Kappa Psi, and Sigma Nu fraternities.
German students apply at universities in Germany and are carefully selected. From 35,000 applications only 500 will come to the United States this fall. The program was started the past year by the army and since then has been given to the state department. During the first year of the plan 156 students were selected to come to the United States.
Jacobs Opposes State Meddling With Business
The purpose is to break down the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual isolation of Germany. United States officials feel that more could be done by bringing over students and letting them see and judge for themselves. Professor Burzle gave credit to Dale Helmers, president of Inter-Fraternity council, and Marie Schumacher, president of Pan-Hellenic council, for the success of the plan at the University.
The past year K.U. accepted two German students, Robert Schnorr and Dr. Werner Winter, both of whom will return to Germany at the conclusion of the present term.
State intervention is justified only where it is impossible for private enterprise to function.
That was the opinion of Albert C. Jacobs, chancellor of the University of Denver, who spoke to approximately 125 lawyers and judges at a Law Institute banquet. The banquet was held March 31 in the Union.
Chancellor Jacobspurned the arguments of those who say that state ownership is necessary because labor unions, without the restraint of law, have the power to disrupt the nation's economy.
He also expressed the fear that statism and planned economy are immediate and real threats to the American way of life.
"No other group is in such a strong position to defend free society in the war against a planned economy as is the legal profession," Chancellor Jacobs said. "A large proportion of the legislators who make the law, the judges who interpret it, and the public administrators who apply the laws are members of the bar."
"The universities can supply the truth of which we are not afraid," he said, "and they can do their part in developing critical minds, minds that can see the fallacies in the truth of everything." Vidual is no longer fit to manage his own affairs and must let the state do it.
He urged that universities demand higher qualifications in admitting students to law school and that they provide better and more individual instruction. These are necessary to equip the legal profession for its social responsibilities, he said.
"The practicing members of the bar must show more zeal in protecting the rights of the little fellow so the government won't have to step in to protect him."
