Students Stranded When Farracjut College Folds (Continued From Page One) stayed on the campus for the summer, uiacK saia, are omei, bewildered and "broke."

Van Wyck, teaching for the summer at Colo rado A. ana M. college wnen directors voted to close Farra srut. sent a statement saying "It Is too bad the school cannot con tinue." But Van Wyck said the col lege's reserve fund too low to Guarantee sound operation. Since it opened In 1946, the college naa oeen supponea dy endowments of northwest resi dents and the "G. I. benefit" tu ition of veteran students. The War Assets administration leased part of the nation's sec ond largest wartime naval base to the school.

There is heavy sentiment to curb the broad grants of presi dential authority proposed and spell out, as closely as possible, the amount of assistance to be given, the nations to receive It, and the conditions under which it shall be provided. 2. There Is substantial senti ment for a sharp cut In the amount and duration of the pro gram. Instead of approving an arms aid plan to run tnrouen June ju, 1950, many committee members favor limiting It to next March 31, with the idea that congress can take another look In January and extend It If necessary.

The commissioner also mentioned former Gov. E. D. Rivers, Thomp son's political friend, former revenue commissioners Glenn Phillips and Downing Musgrove, former liquor enforcement chief T. M. Price, and big liquor dealers. A two-foot stack of records were turned over to to Fulton county Solicitor Paul Webb.
