EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY N Peace in UMW Dispute Expected RUSS GIRT WILL PLAY: Pan-American Ball To Be Saturday' 1i Prof Hobbs Retains Polar Society Post Believe Contract Can Be' Agreed Upon Tomorrowj t Operators, Miners Think Wage Will Be Reached Without U.S. Coimlpromuise Intervention Professor Emeritus William H. Hobbs of the Department of Geology was re-elected to the executive board of the American Polar Society at the spring meeting of the organization at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, August Howard, secretary of the society, announced yesterday. The society was founded ten years ago as a clearing house on polar mat- ters and to band together those in- terested in polar exploration and the sciences related to it. It has mem- bers in all parts of the United States and in 14 foreign countries, with headquarters at the American Mu- seum of Natural History in New York. Prof. Hobbs directed the Univer- sity's Greenland expedition in 1926- 30, and made a special study of the wind-meteorological conditions of Greenland and the so-called "north pole of the winds." He is the author of many polar works. Newly elected president of the so- ciety is Judge Charles H. Stoll, co- leader of the Stoll-McCracken Siber- ian Arctic Expedition in 1928 for the American Museum of Natural History. By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, April 7-Soft coal producers and miners agreed sud- denly today that chances are good they can settle their wage dispute without government intervention. Chairman Ezra Van Horn of the conference of operators and the United Mine Workers told reporters "we have the belief" that a contract can be agreed to Monday. Van Horn is an operator. 'Buying Spree' Is Foreseen By The Associated Press DETROIT, April 7--Anticipating a continued "buying spree" by Detroit- ers visiting well-stocked stores across the border in Windsor, Ont., the customs service here is adding 25 new inspectors to its staff. In addition to their usual practice of collecting duty on Canadian arti- cles brought across the border, the customs men collect ration stamps or points for such articles as are ration- ed in this country. With thousands of Detroit residents shopping in Windsor this has multiplied the work for the border inspectors. Lewis Makes Statement K. C. Adams of the UMW journal said in a statement on behalf of John L. Lewis, Union President: Mr. Lewis shares the optimistic prophecies. He feels, like Mr. Van Horn, that the industry should of its own accord adjudicate its controver- sies. The conference sent a letter to the War Labor Board saying much the same thing as Van Horn's statement to the press. The letter spoke of a belief that it may be possible by Mon- day night, April 9, to reach an agree- ment, at least in principle, on all con- controversial points." WLB Prepared To Move It promised the WLB that the con- ference would advise "not later than Monday evening whether or not an agreement has been reached." If the controversy is not settled soon, the WLB is prepared to move in on the dispute. Today's developments, however, took immediate emphasis off prospects that the government might seize idle coal mines. The solid fuels administration estimated that the wave of unauthorized strikes since Sunday has cost the country more than a million tons of coal in Penn- sylvania alone. Contract Expired The old contract expired a week ago tonight but Lewis agreed to a 30-day extension. For more than five weeks the operators and miners have been negotiating for a new one. Interior Secretary Ickes, as Solid Fuels Administrator, called in mid- week for immediate seizure of the mines, without waiting to see whether the disputants can get together. He said the cost to the war effort per- mitted not one day's delay. Senate, ouse Cooperation By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, April 7-Arrange-I ments are about coinplece for a two- way test in Congress, coincident with the United Nations San Francisco conference, on legislation dealing with America's participation in glo- bal organi:;ation and cooperation. Administrationists privately ac- knowledge they are gloomy over the prospects of getting what they want. While the Senate has exclusive jurisdiction in the ratification of treaties, the first trial-runs for bills Lzaring on international co- operation will be made in the House. That lzody will be the first to act or these far-reaching non- treaty measures: 1. Ratification of the Bretton Woods agreements which came out of a meeting of representatives of 44 nations. These agreements - not in the form of treaties - are intend- ed by their sponsors to end economic warfare bythe establishment of an international bank for reconstruction iand development and a separate in- ternational currency stabilization fund. 2. Extension of the reciprocal trade authority for three years, with an amendment to the 1934 act giving the President broad additional pow- ers to reduce tariffs, some as much as 75 percent under the Hawley - Smoot Tariff Act of 1930. Chairman Spence (D-Ky) of the House banking committee to- day emphatically denied rumors arouid Washington that coirmit- tee hearings on legislation ratify- ing Bretton Woods, opened early in March, might be postpaned until after the United Nations Confer- enee which opens April 25. The hearings have been suspend#d dur- ing the House Easter recess. PWC Will Hear IProf. Newcomb Prof. T. M.

APRIL 8, 1945 service industries would take up this slack, but some 3,500 returning servicemen will provide a surplus man- power reserve which will have to be relocated, either in other areas or in more new place of employment, the survey shows. Women may expect a forty per cent increase in employment op- portunities over pre-war, levels, the study predicts. Although most employers plan to reduce the present proportion of women work- ers to men, all service in- dustries report plans to hire more women than be- fore the war. Persons aged 65 and over may gain as much as nineteen per cent in jobs available, mostly in professional service and re- tail and wholesale trade. Post-war opportunities for non-white workers will be approximately doubled, the survey indicated. Although the results and conclusions stated probably will not apply to other communi- ties, because of the pres- ence of the University in Ann Arbor and other fac- tors tending to increase the ratio of service to manu- facturing industries, it is workout of the six-weeks practice session. Wet weather prevented the squad from holding its first active drill. Coach Munn is subbing for Head Coach H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler who is overseas with an Army Specialist Service Unit. Among the 70 aspirants were five letter-winners from last fall's eleven which finished second in the Western Conference. The returning men are George Burg, Harold Watts, John Lintol, Jerry Briel- maier, and Cecil Freihof- er, all linemen. Burg play- ed through the 1944 season asa first string guard while Watts and Lintol Alternat- ed at center. Brielmaier and Freihofer were reserves at tackle and end, respect- ively. Among the more highly touted newcomers present at the drill were Jim Foltz, a marine trainee and former all-state half- back from Toledo; Ed Trillx, a 6 ft. 200-pound tackle from Gary, Ind.,' home of Tom Harmon; and Arnold Pohs, 5 ft. 10 in. 185- pound halfback from City College of New York. Backfield Coach Earl Mar- line, the National Collegi- ate Football Rules Com- mittee decided. In addition the college gridiron rule makers decided that in fu- ture a substitute may re- port to any official on the field; made the elbow-block definite illegal and revised the center's stance so that none of his body extends beyond the forward point of the ball. In adopting the unrestricted forward pass, the collegians will follow the style of the pros. Until now, a college passer had to be five yards behind the line of scrimmage. The re- vamped substitution rule costs the field captain his right to reject the substi- tute. The coach assumes all responsibility for the legality of the change. The elbow-block, which came into prominence with the T-formation was elimin- ated by changing the rule so that a player must have his hands and arms pressed against his own body when blocking. THE LEGION OF MERIT has been granted by the War Department to Colonel Edward H. Young, Judge out standards or prece- dents to guide whim, he planned, organized and ad- ministered a broad course of instruction for the train- ing of 1700 officers and officer candidates as judge advocates," the citation reads. "Commandant of the JAG school since it was established in Febru- ary, 1942, at the National University Law School, Washington; D.C., Col. Young came to Ann Arbor when the School was transferred to the Univer- sity of Michigan Law Quadrangle in September, 1942. Upon the retirement of Colonel Frederick C. Rogers in June, 1944, he was named Commandant of all Army units in Ann Arbor and Professor of Military Science and Tac- tics at the University.
