Some grave doubts are be-
ginning to be expressed on
Capitol Hill as to whether
President Eisenhower isn't UNI
Willingly helping to bring
about the defeat Of the Re-
publican Party in the coming
congressional elections. That's
the last thing in the world he
wants to see happen-the cleo
ton of q Democratic Congress
-out it may come about as a
direct result Of the tactics OF
the White House itself.
The trouble arises by reason
of the peculiar policy the
President has adopted with
respect to being photographed
with Republican members of
Congress who have not sup
ported his legislative program
as enthusiastically as the Ex-
ecutive would have liked.
More than 100 Republican
members of Congress have
been photographed with the
President. and the obvious
purpose is to circulate each
picture in the State or district
as a sign that Gen. Eisen-
hover wants the particular
candidate elected as against
the Democratic nominee.
But in a few instances. the
White House staff to whom
the President delegated the
task of evaluating the records
of Congressman and Senators
has refused to allow the pho
tographing to be done, and
this in turn has caused sew
eral other members to hesi-
tate to ask for such an in
dorSement.
Why should the President
refuse to indorse any mem
bers of the Republican Party
in either House who is up for
election? Does he think he
can accomplish the enactment
OF his legislative proposals if.

The two other big weaknesses
criticized by the accreditors-the

DR.. Elkins says fiatly that ''if

Maryland for some time has
been coasting along at College

by DR.. Elkins as extremely in
adequate for its student body.
The university has an enroll

Needed Funds Almost

Gets Shot in Arm
By Gene Goodwin

y
The University Of Maryland
came through the recent State
political campaign with 4 few
scars--but mostly q determine
ton to show its critics that 1t is
something more than a football
mill.
Despite cloudy accreditation
status which became an issue
in the rd-McKeldin battle for
Governor-the was little gloom
among high university officials
questioned by The Star last
week.
They seem confident that the
university has scrubbed most OF
the political mud of its walls
and can now get down to the
serious business of getting its
accreditation reaffirmed.
No one out College Park way
attempts to minimize the black
eye that the university would
suffer II 1t should be dropped
from the standard list Of ac-
credited schools.
They just don't think that will
happen.
It was to be expected that the
university would figure In the
campaign, since the unsuccessful
Democratic candidate was DR.. H.
c. Byrd, its former president and
a man whose name had become
almost synonymous with the
University of Maryland.

When word leaked out that the
Board of Regents was sitting on
a report from the Middle States
Association of Colleges which
criticized DR.. Byrd's administra-

publican opponent made the best
Of it.
The regents still are keeping
the full report within the official
family, but during the campaign
they did disclose that:
/. A 60-member team of ac-
crediting investigators from the
Middle States Association. a
standard regional accrediting
organization. came to the College
Park and Baltimore campuses
last November to make the first
complete re-evaluation of the
university since 1922.
2. The regents said the
evaluators were concerned about
the following areas of the uni
versity: THE highly centralized
nature of the administration,
the lack of proper status of the
faculty and of the deans in the
organization and operation of
the institution and particularly
the lack of faculty participation

Gov. McKeldin already has
publicly agreed to recommend
to the Legislature in his capital
budget q $2.2 million appropria-
ton for q new library at College
Park and $150,O00 to plan a new
library in Baltimore for the
medical, dental. pharmacy and
nursing schools.
In addition, DR.. Elkins and the
regents. in the proposed operat-
ing budget they have submitted
to the Governor for next fiscal
year, are asking almost $40, 900
more in library funds, $4,000
of which would go for new books.
The rest would pay for new
library assistants and student
help, supplies and salary in

The proposed budget also
would increase medical school
funds by $351,829. That would
go for 43 new staff members and

The regents. in addition, are
seeking a 100000 increase in
