University Plans
Building Projects

Contractors have been invited
to submit bids on building projects
at the University of Delaware val
ued at more than four million dol
lars.
The facilities will include an ad-
dition to Brown Residence Hall,
an addition to Sussex Hall, two
modern dormitories to be located
on the new East Campus and
complete dining hall-student cen
ter building. Also requested are
bids on food service equipment and
additional utilities to be used in
connection with the new buildings.
The Brown Hall addition will be
similar to the existing Sharp Hall
Dormitory which was added to
Harter Hall in 1853. 1t will accom-
modate 144 men. The extension of
Sussex Hall, a women's residence,
will provide for an additional 1G9
students. Estimates have placed
the construction costs of the mems
dormitory at S712,50O and the wo-
mems at $642,5OO.
The two new dormitOries to be
erected on the East Campus are of
modern style and are identical in
design. Each building will house
154 students and total cost for the
two units will be about one and
one-half million dollars.
The dining hall-student center
Building, one of the long needed
student facilities, will provide
cafeteria service for 1885 students,
office space for student organiza-
tiOns and limited recreational fa-
cilities. It's cost is estimated at ST.
23S, 900.
Laurel Hall, the new student
health center, is in the final stages
of completion and the construction
of Pierre S. DUPONT Engineering
Building adjacent to Evans Hall
on the central campus of the Uni
versity began recently. This notable
expansion program has been under
taken by the University to meet the
educational requirements of one of
the fastest growing states in the
country. According to University
officials, the buildings will be Pot
to maximum use Immediately upon
completion. 1t is expected that the
buildings will be ready for use
early in 1858.

Girl Scouts, Brownies
Library Guests

Girl Scouts and Brownies were
guests of the Milford Free Public
Library in the Community Build
ing, Friday Afternoon recently in
observance of Nsdonal Book Week.
Miss Edith Simpson, Librarian,
graciously welcomed the children,
their leaders and parents, and mem
bers of the Library Board. She
showed them the National poster
with the motto ''It Is Always Book
Time, and called attention to the
attractive display of over fifty new
books for children which Mrs. Dan
iel behring's troop had prepared
for circulation. She closed with the
suggestion that readers keep a
note book in which they list author
and title and perhaps a sentence
or two about the books they read.
Special speaker for the occasion
was Mrs. Maradel Burton who told
the children various reasons why
books are good friends.
In appreciation of poetry, she
said, THAT is something you car
carry in your heart" 1t takes 9
few words and makes for you a
picture or a mood. Mrs. Burton
then read numerous charming Sc
lections including: Robert Louis
Stevenson's "The Swing" and Joyce
Kilmer's "The House With Nobody
In tt.
To illustrate her statement that
books and stories can take you
places" Mrs. Burton realistically
told the story of Kintee, the son
of an African chief, who conquered
his fear of the jungle. This was
selected from Greenberg's "Favorite
Stories Old and New.
Appropriate to the Christmas
season Mrs. Burton spoke of "The
Coming of the King" a pleasing
little book by Norman Vincent
Peale that combines Scripture and
story
At the close of the reading, Miss
Simpson invited everyone to visit
the newly decorated Library rooms
where Miss JEANNE Massey who
has been assisting during Mrs. J.
H. Gordon's leave Of absence, was
co-hostess.
Thanks to Mr.. Charles Lund-
stedt of radio station WKSB who
made a tape recording of the pro-
cram. which was broadcast Sunday
December / at 1870 o'clock and to
the Carlisle Fire Co., for the use
of their assembly room.

Hints For Shopping
At Christmas Time

Doing your Christmas shopping
early? That's usually a good idea
but don't risk unhappiness by carry
ing a large sum of money with you
and losing it. Many shoppers find
it safer and more convenient to
shop by check.
Here are some suggestions from
the Home Economics Extension
staff at the University of Delaware
that can help you toward carefree
holiday shopping.
When you receive a check, don't
endorse it until you are ready to
cash it. Anyone can cash lost
check which has been endorsed. II

you lose a check, notify the bank
Immediately, identify the check,
and ask the bank to stop payment.
You can also restrict endorse
ment of a check. When depositing
checks by mail use the phrase
''for depositing only" tnen sign your
name. This check cannot be casl.ed
by anyone. The restricted eh1ac<-se-
ment protects you if. the check is
lost or stolen.
If your name is misspelled on a
check, endorse the check exactly
as your name appears on. the face
of the check, then sign your name
correctly underneath.
When writing figures on personal
checks start close to the dollar

added. When writing the amount

President Due
For October
Check
BY the Associated Press

President Eisenhower is ex-
pected to have a general pre-
election physical checkup here
about mid October, Press Secre-
tary James C. Hagerty said yes
terday.
The President has said pre-
viously he would undergo such
an examination and that the
results would be made public.
The President is feeling fine
and looking fine" Mr.. Hagerty
added. This was his answer to
a question about how the Presi-
dent feels a year after he suf-
fered a heart attack.
Mr., Hagerty said the Presi-
dents weight now is l72 pounds,
which he said is what the doctors
want him to maintain. That is
three pounds heavier than be-
fore he entered the hospital in
June for an ileitis operation.
1t is four pounds under what
Mr.. Hagerty called his lifetime
weight" or his West Point
weight. The President weighed
l78 before his heart attack.
Mr.. Hagerty said the Presi-
dents doctors are trying to get
him back on a 2,500-calorie low
fat diet so he will not gain more
weight. He was on a heavier
calorie diet until a few weeks
ago.

reported normal physiological
activity of the intestinal tract
had been restored. On Saturday
the President was in excellent
spirits" and he was fed his first
soft food. His temperature, pulse

were normal.
Mr.. Eisenhower regained his
strength rather slowly, some
thought, but the doctors de-
clared the progress was steady
And on June 80, three weeks
after the operation, he was per-
mitted to leave. At precisely
9 am. that Saturday he and
Mrs. Eisenhower appeared at
the doorway of the Walter Reed
administration building. Then
with his arm through hers. they
walked across the 20-foot porch,
paused, and carefully descended
the f1ve-step staircase.

There was some concern about

tack tHe has gained further in
recent weeks.)
Yes on Second Term
In political circles, specula-
ton was rife as to whether the
President still intended running
now that he had had a second
major illness and an operation
The Chief Executive settled that
question on July 10. He in
formed Republican leaders who
came for a visit on the farm that
he felt better than he did before
the operation. He said he would
remain in the race for a second
term. They announced his plans
to reporters.
The President returned to
Washington July Is. He con-
tinued to improve. Early in
August he said he had no doubts
about his ability to cary on, that
there was nothing to keep him
from doing his work. He be-
came increasingly active, even
Vigorous.
His healthy glow, his ability
to play 10 holes of golf, his conf
dent manner nightly cheered
Republicans when he accepted
the second term nomination last
month.
The period of convalescence
was declared over.

-four alternate jurors also avail
able.
What could the subcommit-
tee expect to get?" Judge Keech
asked the prosecution yesterday.
Did they expect this man to
come there and plead guilty to
murder before them?"
Later the Judge declared he
was not impugning the subcoYn-
mittee's motives.
Mr.. Cole conceded on the
stand that his subcommittee
discussed perjury prosecution
before putting Icardi under oath.
Icardi was back in civilian
life before the majors body
was flshed from an Italian
lake. A military court-martial
is not possible. And legal au-
Ithorities have ruled United States
civil courts do not have jurisdic-
ton over the case.
Icardi and former Sergt. Carl
LoDolce were convicted in
absentia in Italy of the Staying.
Since they cannot be extradicted,
the sentences are meaningless.
LoDolce was convicted of being
the trigger man in the Holohan
killing and Icardi was convicted
of maSter-minding the shooting
LODOIce Never Charged
Unlike Icardi, LoDolce, of
Rochester, N. Y, did not accept
the subcommittee invitation to
testify. He has never been
charged with any crime in this
country.
Although Icardi was in court
only on perjury counts, the
Government would have had to
convince jurors he played the
lplOCCefS role IN a Staying.
The body of Maj. Holohan, a
New York lawyer in civil life,
was recovered from Lake Orta

up the investigation.
Prosecutors in this case said
they would prove Icardi first
tried to have the major poisoned,
then had LoDolce shoot him
when the poison didn't kill him.
The defense told a startlingly
different version. Icardi's law

DR.. Corning said this would
not be known until later.
Mrs. Petit specifically ques-
toned the status of Anacostia
High School. She said a clerk
there told her yesterday the
school would have an increase
Iof nearly 400 pupils next fall.
DR.. Carl F. Hansen, assistant
superintendent in charge of
high schools, said there would
be no additional teachers avail
able for Anacostia, under the
pending budget, unless other

cipals, The Star disclosed yes

pected to have declines. and all

recommendation for no tax cut

cash collections from all sources
are going to exceed January esti-
mates by IS billion and that
expenditures will be up 81 bill

part of the remaining 81 billion
should be returned to income
taxpayers in the same way that
it was levied, namely by a per-
centage rate reduction.
Tied to Appropriations
What this session finally does
about tax relief may depend
largely on how much it appro-
pirates in the next two months
for national defense. foreign aid,
highways and other major pro-
grams.
Another factor to be con-
sidered is that two of the bills
which have a good chance of
passing at this session would in
crease taxes for specific purposes.
One is the social security bill,
which would raise the payroll
tax for that purpose from 2 to
az per cent each on employer
and employe.
Secretary of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare Folsom has
estimated this would mean a tax
increase of SIT billion over the
first full year. The other is the
bill which would in
crease the gasoline and other
automobile taxes to meet part
of the cost of that program.
