A meeting aimed at restoring de-
liveries broke up in confusion this
afternoon when strikers drowned out
with a wave of booing all "back-to-
work" suggestions, including those
from their own union officers.
Russell L. Ballard, local 83 presi-
dent, was one of those who told the
menthey should return to work. He
insisted the strike was unauthorized
and estimated about 3,500 men had
walked off their jobs.

nounced yesterday, including 14 from
Turkey, seven from China, eight from
Canada, 14 from Latin America and
one from Iran.

ish group. This is the third contin-
gent of officers ' sent by their gov-
ernment to study engineering at the
University since 1940. The other
Turkish students are civilian grad-,
uates of Roberts College, Istanbul.

than three months in order to arrive
in time for the new semester.
George Petrossan, whose home is
in Teheran, is the first Iranian stu-
dent to come to Ann Arbor in several
years.
The seven Chinese make up the
largest group of students to arrive
from China since the closing of the
Burma Road two years ago. Last
semester four Chinese succeeded in

leaving war-encircled China and
they were the first group to arrive
here since 1942.
For the first time in several years,
all 20 of the Latin American repub-
lics are represented by students on
;he campus. Included in this group
