Subscribers Threaten 'Daily' With Suit: Elis Ask for Six Crimsons Each Week

The second law suit as many weeks was threatening the coffers of the OCD yesterday. This time a successful verdict would decimate the New Haven sheet's masthead and its once proud boast.

The suit, field Thursday under the name of a certain Calhoug Committee for the Free Press, sues for settlement of broken Yale Daily subscription contracts, and enjoins the newspaper to cease using the title Daily News and the Oldest College Daily trademark.

A spokesmen for the group argued last night that the newspaper is in no sense any longer a daily, and must be forced to cease perpetuating its present claim.

Meanwhile, from Berkeley College arrived a petition to the CRIMSON, asking that the Cambridge daily extend its present limited New Haven operations to a six day a week basis. The motion was signal by more than 200 names, including several former editors of the old Yale Daily News. But the Crime has indicated no intention of invading the Daily's shrinking area of coverage.
