An earlier Allied announcement had
said the Doenitz regime was being
strictly controlled and used only to
the advantage of the Allies, but this
was the first disclosure of the system-
atic manner in which the German
war leaders were being exploited.

No Comment MadeI
On Protection Suit
University and city officials de-
clined to comment on the suit be-
gun Monday seeking to enjoin Ann
Arbor from furnishing further fire
protection to the University "un-
less under lawful authority by the
state legislature."
A show cause hearing will be
held in Circuit Court Monday.
Plaintiff in the ease is Alfred
Lucking, Detroit attorney and own-
er of the Wolverine Building who
contends that the University
doubles the fire hazard to indivi-
dual property owners because of
several old campus buildings.
The University has never paid
fire protection to the city of Ann

Regioial Plan
Arab States Try To
Settle French Dispute
By The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-The
United Nations Conference pushed
forward tonight a plan to use region-
al defense agreements against ag-
gression. The decision camne at a
time when Arab states talked of
applying their own defense pact now
in a blood-letting dispute with
France on the other side of the
world.
A conference subcommittee ap-
proved a formula, accepted by the
Big Five powers and most of the
Latin-American states, which would
let regional defense systems operate
against an aggressor until the Secur-
ity Council of a new world organiza-
tion takes adequate measures.
Regional Pacts Urged
The formula emphasized that
members of regional groups, like the
Pan-American and Pan-Arab sys-
tems, should "make every effort to
achieve peaceful settlement of local
disputes."
The subcommittee acted soon after
three conference delegations jumped
into a dispute which already has pro-
duced bloodshed in the Levant-a
ruckus of the type a world organiza-
tion this United Nations Conference
is shaping would be handling if it
already were in operation.
Accuse France
The Syrian and Lebanese delega-
tions accused France of using Sene-
galese- troops in their home lands
"as instruments of political pressure
and coercion" to obtain a privileged
position.
A French delegation spokesman,
Raymond Offroy, told a news con-
ference that France must maintain
a "dominant position" in the Levant
or some other great power will re-
place her. He didn't say what power.
Furthermore, Offroy asserted, Fra-
nce plans to use the Levant for air
bases, depots and ports in the war
against Japan. He added that neith-
er Syria nor Lebanon could guaran-
tee its security in modern warfare
and that some great power must
serve as protector.
Muzundar To
Talk on Indian
Songs, Dances
Featuring Dr. Haridas Muzumdar's
lecture on "India Today and Tomor-
row,". the Hindustan Association will
present a program of Indian songs

and dances at 8 p. m. EWT (7 p. m.
CWT) today in the Lydia Mendel-
ssohn Theatre.
Dr. Muzumdar, professor of so-
ciology at William Penn College, has
lectured throughout the United
States. Author of several books and
articles on India, his book on Gandhi
is considered one of the best in this
country. His latest work is "The
United Nations of the World."
Mrs. Kamla Chaudhry will be the
featured solo dancer of the show. A
student of dancing at the Tagore Aca-
demy in India, she will present the
"Pja" and "Harvest" dances as solos,
and "Radha Krishna" with Agusta
Plumer. Mrs. Chaudhry is now do-
ing graduate work at the University.

Draft To lBe
Cut One Fourth
Shifts Burden to Young
Men, Beginning July 1
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 22-Indefi-
nite blanket deferment of men 30 and
over who remain in "useful" jobs was
ordered today by Selective Service.
This liberalized policy, effective at
once, results from the narrowing 'of
the war to one front, Draft Director
Lewis B. Hershey announced at a
news conference.
He disclosed that the draft call will
be cut about 25 per cent to 90,000
men a month beginning in July.
But Hershey predicted at the same
time that as a result of the new len-
iency for older men, it will be neces-
sary to call an increasing number of
occupationally deferred registrants
18 through 29.
At San Diego Paul V. McNutt, War
Manpower Commission chairman, de-
clined comment on Gen. Hershey's
announcement which was in ap-
parent contradication to McNutt's
statement Saturday in San Francisco
that the draft would cut sharply into
supervisory personnel in the higher-
age groups, and that no further defer-
ment certificates for key men would
be issued.
The policy change covering older
men affects principally those 30
through 33, who up to now have been
required to be "necessary men regu-

larly engaged" in an essential activ-
ity, The change puts them on the
same footing as men 34 through 37,
who have been required only to be
engaged in essential work.
In the future occupational defer-
ments granted to men 30 and over
no longer will be subject to review
every six months, but will be good for
an indefinite period, Hershey added.
Churchill Calls
For General
Election in July
LONDON, May 22-(P)-Prime
Minister Churchill, stung by the
Labor party's refusal to continue in
his coalition government until the
end of the Japanese war, in effect
called today for a quick general elec-
tion to end the present "bickering"
of the British cabinet.
In a letter to Deputy Prime Mini-
ster and Labor Party Leader Clem-
ent Attlee, Churchill mentioned no
date, but he generally was expected
to announce tomorrow or Thursday
that he was advising the King to dis-
solve Parliament in three weeks, with
an election to be held July 5.
The Labor party, in convention at
Blackpool,rejected yesterday Chur-
chill's proposal that the war-born
coalition stickatogether until victory
over Japan, yet the party had desired
to postpone an election until autumn.

NEW SECRET WEAPON:
Aimless Jap B,
Bombs on Wes
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Aimless
Japanese balloon attacks have been
made on the western U.S. mainland
for several months, the Army and
Navy announced today.
Carrying a few small bombs, the
unmanned balloons float without
control, their main purpose believed
to be to set brush and forest fires.
No property damage has resulted
from the enemy's "fantastic effort",
the announcement said.
Paper Balloons
The balloons are of gray, white ora
greenish-blue paper, about 33 feet
in diameter. They are "known to
have landed or dropped explosives in
isolated localities," it was stated, but
it was emphasized that the attacks
"should not be viewed with alarm."
The military made the announce-
ment as a warning to the public.
Unexploded bombs may be found in
isolated places and should be avoid-
ed, it stated.
First Announcement
The balloons have been the talk of
the west for months. Until today,
however, the Office of Censorship
forbade any mention of them in the.
press.

Rev. Frank J. B. Flynn, director of'
music for the Archdiocese of De-
troit, at 8 p. m. EWT (7 p. m. CWT)
today at Kellogg Auditorium.
Sponsored by the Student Reli-
gious Association and the School of
Music, this is the concluding lecture
in a series of three on sacred music.
The first of the series dealt with
Jewish sacred music and the second
with Protestant hymnology.
Assisted by a student choir from
the Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit,
Father Flynn will discuss the use
and character of the Chant, which
is the official music of the Catholic
Church. He will also discus the hi-
story of the Chant.
The choral group from Sacred
Heart Seminary, a preparatory school
for candidates for the Catholic priest-
hood, will illustrate specific types of
Chant.

ACTION:
Sophs Maketi
With Spirit for
Slight Numbers
EDITOR'S NOTE: Perry Logan, the Daily's
roving reporter, was sent to peep through
the keyhole on last night's soph meeting.
Logan, a freshman, unfortunately was
at the wrong keyhole, and before he dis-
covered his mistake, he was initiated into
three fraternities and made a member of
the Union Council.
Outmanned, outnumbered, but not
out-hearted, a dozen sophomores last
night threw back the half-hearted
challenge of 60 freshmen and offered
to smite their opponents' 60 collec-
tive egos in the dust of Ferry Field
Saturday in the Class Games Classic.
Downcast at first because of the
relatively small trickle of sophomores
into the meeting last night at the
Union, the second-year men refused
to give up the fight so easily to what
they termed "insignificant diaper-
wearers, who have yet to find the
first wispy hair of manliness on their
peaches-and-cream faces."
Spirit was not lagging in the
sophomore ranks early yesterday,
when two sophomores, who gave
their names as Keniston Bursley
and Dwight D MacArthur, pulled
down the freshman proclamation
on the diagonal at 9:48 a.m. The
sign now rests between the mat-
tress and bed spring of MacAr-
thur's bed, only slightly the worse
for wear.
The sophomores in question urge
that the next time, the frosh should
get stronger rope and that they
