WASHINGTON, April 28.-(A')-
The White House announced tonight
that the southern coal operators had
agreed to resume production of coal
immediately..
Stephen Early, presidential secre-
tary, issued this statement:
"The President shortly after .11 o'-
clock tonight received a telegram

Southern Coal Operators Wage Con-
ference, advising him that "the 13
southern districts which have not yet
negotiated a wage agreement accept
your proposal without equivocation'
adding "we are ready to resume work
immediately,'
President Roosevelt's proposals,
which2he publicly recommended on
April 21, were :
"1. The miners and operatorsal-
ready in agreement resume coal pro-.
duction under the terms of that
agreement.
"2. The operators and miners who
have not yet reached an agreement,
enter into wage negotiations and at
the same time reopen the mines, the
agreement ultimately reached to be
made retroactive to the date of re-
suming work."
At the time the proposal was ad-
vanced the Northern Operators and
the Union had reached an agreement
for wage increase, but the Southern
Operators and Miners were dead-
locked.

Two Separate'
Peace Rallies
AppearLikely
Members Of Unrecognized
Group Stages Protest
At Dean's Home
By PAUL CHANDLER
University students will be offered
two different peace meetings next
month, one which has received offi-
cial approval and another which has
not.
A clash over who should receive
official permission to sponsor peace
rallies has split the campus anti-war
group into two factions, and has
drawn a cry of "discrimination" from
one group which las the support of
many members of the recently-.
banned American Student Union.
As a result, Sen. Burton K. Wheel-
er will deliver an address May 5 un-
der the auspices of the University-
recognized Michigan Anti-War Com-
mittee.
Another rPea cMeeting
On May 1, four days earlier, an-
other group will sponsor a meeting
headlining Rev. Owen D. Knox of
Detroit, but they will be doing it
without the sanction of the Commit-
tee on Student Affairs.
This latter group, the Campus
Peace Council, gave expression to
their protest last night byimarching
to the home of Dean of Students
Bursley in a body some 50 strong, and
requesting an explanation for the
Committee's failure to approve the
May 1 rally.
Earlier yesterday they had sought
both permission for the meeting and
recognition as an University organi-
zation.
The committee refused the request,
stating that the application had been
made by a "non-recognized organiza-
tion," and indicating that other Uni-
versity regulatons had not been met.
Bursley Speaks
Dean Bursley spoke to the group
from his front porgh for almost an
hour, assuring the students that they
were free to hold "any sort of a rally"
when the legal requirements had
been fulfilled.
"The Committee iefused your re-
quests today because you were not
a recognized organization and be-
cause you did not allow the Univer-
sity sufficient time to consider the
speakers which have been invited,"
he said.
Elman Service, a University senior
who dropped from school in 1936 to
enlist in the ranks of the Spanish
Loyalist Army, explained the action
of the Peace Council:
Peace Action Obligatory
"It was felt that the present drive
by the National Government to con-
voy shipments to England and the
speed with which the nation is being
pushed down the road to war made
obligatory that the traditional stu-
dent action for peace be held immedi-
ately."
The Peace Council was born about
a month ago when the Wheeler spon-
,ors refused to accept the support of
the ASU group. Inasmuch as it has
failed to obtain University approval,
the May 1 rally will be held on other
than University property, and will
not be advertised through the Daily
Official Bulletin, on campus bulletin
boards, and in other routine student
channels.

On Current Topics
Featuring the eminent modern poet
Carl Sandburg, the ninth annual
Adult Education Institute will con-
tinue the sessions of its five-day
meeting today in the Rackham Build-
ing on the various aspects of the'
current scene.
Prof. John W. Riegel of the bus-
iness administration school will open
today's program at 9:00 a.m. in Rack-
ham Lecture Hall with a discussion
of "Current Labor Problems," and his
talk will be folowed by a musical
interlude under the direction of Prof.
W. H. Stubbins of the music school.
Carl Sandburg, noted American
poet and author of a recent biography
of Lincoln, will deliver a lecture on
"Lincoln and the Present Crisis" at
11 a.m. in the lecture hall.
Giving the second in a series of
five book reviews, Prof. Joe L. Davis
of the English department will dis.
cuss "The Pilgrim's Way," by John
Buchan, and Prof. Joseph E. Maddy

the labor board to compel a company
to hire men alleged to have been re-
fused jobs because of their union af-
filiations. The board also can direct
the company to give such men "back
pay" from the time of the rejec-
tion.
But the board may not take such
actions automatically. The court's
opinion, by Justice Frankfurter, was
careful to specify that the board must
find in each case that such orders
are necessary to effectuate the pur-
pose of the act -- that is, to abate
labor strife.
In another important case today
the Court decided negroes ,must be
furnished as good accomodations as
whites for interstate travel. Repre-
sentative Arthur W. Mitchell (D-Ill),
only Negro congressman, filed the
test suit after being removed from a
Pullman to a "Jim Crow" day coach
in Arkansas in 1937 during a trip
from Chicago to Hot Springs. ,
Also from Washington came word
that Secretary Morgenthau, who has
recommended stiffly increased in-
come taxes and other means of rais-
ing $3,600,000,000 had opened fire on
a rival revenue plan today by declar-
ing it would tax "the poor man's
table."
He referred to a plan drawn up
by experts of the joint congressional
committee on internal revenue taxa-
tion- Among other things, these ex-
perts suggested levies on coffee, tea'
and sugar.

Liberal Arts Curriculum
Gives Broader Education,
Dean Woodburne States
By GRACE MILLER
Applicants for admission to the
Degree Program for Honors in Liberal
Arts will be called for within the
next few days by the Board of Tu-
tors, Dean Lloyd Woodburne an-
nounced yesterday.
Under this program the University
is giving an improved liberal educa-
tion to certain students; the purpose
of the program is indicated by an
opinion expressed by Dean Wood-
burne, "Until the student gets to the
point where he is actually using his
mind on the material he is studying,
he is getting no education."
Five years ago a conversation be-
tween Prof. Charles F. Remer, of
the economics department, and Dean
Erich H. Walter, travelling together
from New York, formed the nucleus'
of Michigan's new ideal in education.
Result of the conversation was a dis-
cussion group of members of the fac-
luty, including Dean Walter, Pro-
fessor Remer, Prof. Burton D. Thuma,
Prof. Warner G. Rice, Prof. Ralph
Sawyer, and Prof. Joseph Hayden.,
At that time the group intendedj
to attempt to work out a new system
of education which would be nearerj
to the purpose of liberal education

Daily Editor Explains
Committee Disapproves Of Peace
.Strike' Because Of HastyAction

Note: Hervie Haufler, managing
editor of The Daily, is a member of
the Student Affairs Committee, the
body which approves officially recog-
nition o fcampus organizations. ie
jpresents herewith his point of view
on the committee's action on the
Campus Peace Councl.)
By IERVIE IJAUFLER
You will probably be handed
mimeographed sheets today that
will tell you that the University is
denying freedom of assembly, free-
dom of speech, etc., in denying per-
mission to the All-Campus Peace
Committee to hold a peace "shrike"
Thursday, May 1.
If so, I, as managing editor of
The Daily and a member of the
Committee on Student Affairs which
denied the request, will tell you that
such declarations are simply not
true.
Rally Plans Haphazard
The Committee felt that the pro-
posed peace demonstration is being
planned so haphazardly and so hur-

Such groups as the Karl Marx So-
ciety have been able to gain recog-
nition. If and when the All-Campus
Committee is able to comply with
these rules, it will be allowed to hold
a peace demonstration.
Committee Acts Too Late
This peace committee was formed
in an exceedingly great hurry and
made no effort to gain recognition
until it was too late for the Affairs
Committee to grant it.
I personally feel that the type of
peace program desired by the All-
Campus Peace Committee should be
held.' I have signed petitions to that
effect. The 1urton K. Wheeler ad-
dress, to be sponsored by the Anti-
War Committee on Monday night,
May 5, is more of a lecture than a.
peace rally and will have no student
participation. , It does not answer
the need for the out-of-doors morn-
ing rally that has become traditional.

VICHY, France, April 28.-Backed

French forces were concentrated in-
side the southern frontier of French
Somaliland tonight in an attempt to
persuade that East African colony
to join the De Gaullists fighting with
Britain against the Axis.
The French government's an-

said instructions had been given to
the Governor of French Somaliland
to prevent its desertion of the Ger-
man-conquered mother country.
(London heaquarters of the "Free
French movement termed the an-
nouncement a report of an attack
of which it had "no knowledge."
The report, De Gaullist headquarters
added, "has every appearance of be-

be favorable toward free France.")
