Testimony late yesterday was that a "very disturbed" but unidentified contributor to the University of Mississippi made the telephone call to university officials. He was said to have objected to, or. at least questioned the propriety of, a university dean appearing as.a witness for opponents of the project.

With the hearings scheduled to end today or tomorrow, it appeared questionable whether the source of the reported call ever would 'be traced on the record.

One step in that direction came last night at aWhite House stag dinner to which the President invited many of the men who helped him win the nomintion in 1952 and played a major role in his successful campaign.

Talk at the dinner reportedly did not deal with the big question whether Eisenhower will seek a second term. But the guests ineluded men like Leonard W. Hall, chairman of the Republican National Committee, who have voiced confidence publicly that the President will run again, Others who were present are known to be. convinced that Eisenhower who has declined to discuss His 1956 plans publicly, will bed for another term.
