LVI, No. 14 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1945 PRICE FIVE CENTS Ruthven Talks On Objectives For Teachers Adams Addresses Education Parley Baker Defends Location Of U' Cheering Section Student-Management Conference Made Ticket Rulings, Distribution Head States U.S., Britain, Canada Offer Atom Secrets to World with Conditions; 10/1 Eisenhower Backs PRESIDENT RUTHVEN "The immediate objectives of teachers today must be the broaden- ing of educational opportunities, the integration of the individual with his community, and increased em- phasis upon the preparation of youth for world citizenship," Presi- dent Alexander G. Ruthven, told School of Education students yester- day. Teachers will also need to move outside of the classroom and give more attention to informal educa- tion at all levels, Dr. Ruthven said. "Above all, and without delay, we will need to bring before the peoples of the world the all-important fact that education is the right of every man, the chief defense of nations and the only road to enduring peace." Emphasizing the inadequate facili- ties, influence of pressure groups, and other teaching difficulties, Dr. Ruthven stated that many of the handicaps have been the fault of teachers themselves. Teachers must accept the obligation to insist ag- gressively that they are given the freedom and tools necessary for their task. Teachers must modernize their concepts and procedures to conform with the present period of rapid so- cial changes, Dr. Ruthven concluded. Grad Students Hear (EDITOR'S NOTE: A criticism of football seats allotted to students appeared in the Letters to the Editor column of Wednes- day's Daily. In the following interview, Andrew S. Baker, who has charge of ticket distribution, attempts to clarify the distribution system.) "It is obvious that not everyone can occupy a 50 yard-line seat at every University of Michigan football game." Replying' to student criticism of the location of their football seats, Andrew S. Baker, who is in charge of ticket distribution for University games, yesterday attempted to explain the system by which tickets are dis- tributed to students, faculty and pub- lic. Few 'Good' Seats "The thing that most students fail to realize," Baker said, "is that scarce- Vet Center Plan A aiting0. K. From Lansing The University Hospital's medical staff is ready to open a- temporary Veterans' Readjustment Center as soon as final approval of plans is re- ceived from Lansing, according to Dr. Albert C. Kerlikowske, assistant medical director. Lay help, orderlies and wardkeep- ers are still needed, he said, before the temporary center can be opened. Since the beginning of a permanent center depends upon the speed of the building program, Dr. Kerlikowske was unable to estimate when either the temporary or the permanent cen- ter would begin functioning. Meanwhile, bids for the construc- tion of the veterans' center will be received by the state November 30. To date the state's offer has been re- ceived with little interest, only one contractor asking for plans and specifications. SOIC To Sell Special Daily Tomorrow's issue of the Daily, con- taining a full page devoted to Inter- national Students Day, will be sold in the morning on campus and in the afternoon at the Michigan-Purdue game by members of the Student Or- ganization for International Coopera- tion. Students Day is observed through- out the democratic nations of the world in memory of the 156 Charles University (Prague) students who were massacred by the Nazis Nov. 17, 1939. This year the World Student Conference will convene in Prague on that day. Proceeds of the Daily sale will go toward sending aid to a foreign uni- versity which will be chosen at the campus election Dec. 5. Any student who has not yet been photographed for his identi- fication card, may have his picture taken between 8 a. in. and 5 p. m. today or between 8 a. in. and noon tomorrow in Rm. 7, Angell Hall. Cashiers receipts should be brought. ly one third of all the seats in the Michigan stadium lie within the goal posts." In an effort to establish an equit- able system, a student-administrat- ive conference was held a few years ago, Baker continued. "The present priority system emerged from that conference. Graduate students are given seats at the 45 yard line, others progressing toward the 5 yard line according to class. The remainder of the seats are shared by 'M' lettermen, the visiting team, faculty members, bondsmen, state legislators, and the press, he stated. 'End Zone Seats Best' "As a matter of fact," Baker assert- ed, "it is only the novice who prefers his seat on the 50 yard line. The ones in the football 'know' usually want end zone seats-Gus Dorais, for ex- ample. "It should be obvious from his ex- planation that charges of 'big busi- ness' leveled against the procedure are completely unfounded," he con- cluded. Kazakevich Will Discuss Soviet System Today Vladimir D. Kazakevich, Russian- born economist and authority on the economy and history of the Soviet Union, will discuss "Russia's Econ- omy and Postwar Reconstruction" at 4:15 p. m. today in the Rackham Amphitheatre. Although born in St. Petersburg, Kazakevich received his advanced Russian trainnig at a school in Har- bin, Manchuria, where his father was a civil engineer and general manager of the Chinese Eastern Railroad.. He continued his edu- cation in the United States at the University of California and Col- umbia University where he became instructor in economics in 1935-37. He has also held the positions of lecturer in the American Institute of Banking, and lecturer on Soviet economy, its theory and practice, at Cornell Unviersity during the sum- mers of 1943 and 1944. Student Forum Discusses Role Of Atom Bomb "Either people must become suffi- ciently interested in the implications of atomic power, or they must take the alternative of digging a hole deep enough to hide in." This was the point made by chem- istry instructor David Tyner, who participated in research on the bomb, at the Town Hall Student Forum last night. Tyner urged international control of the bomb. World control of the bomb was seen as the solution to saving the world from self-destruction by John Wilson, who participated in the Hiroshima raid, which introduced the A-bonb to the world. In an open discussion, students and townspeople agreed that public edu- cation as to the implication of atomic force and a. world council with com- plete control over the future use of atomic power are essential to the maintenance of civilization. c Congress Told of Peace Hope By General Ike Peacetime Training Called 'Imperative' By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower told Congress today there is hope for perpetual peace, but America should keep her young men trained for war lest she be left "defenseless and naked before a future enemy." A year's peacetime training for every youth of 18 is "imperative" for the safety of the nation, the five-star European commander testified to the House military committee. 'Hope Isn't Enough' "If I didn't have hope for peace I wouldn't be here-I would have jumped out of my plane over the At- lantic," the General declared. But, he said, hope isn't enough. The next aggressor will smash first at the United States from far away, he said. "We will not have time to train units before we are faced with the final issue of defeat or victory." Eisenhower wouldn't say who he thought the next aggressor-if there is one-might be. In answer to ques- tions by Rep. Thomas (Rep.-N. J.) he said: , Britain will never go to war against the United States. Nothing To Gain Russia has "not the slightest thing to gain" by attacking this nation and moreover "I'm convinced her policy is one of friendship with us." However, it is just as necessary in my opinion to train the citizenry as it is to send them by compulsion to the first grade when they are six years old," he said. Man, 77, Dies In INight Fire At Fairgrounds Daniel K. Newell, 77 years old, was burned to death last night in a fire that destroyed three-fourths of the County Fairgrounds livestock barns and killed two horses. Newell, a worker at the Fair- grounds, apparently overcome by smoke, was trapped in his quarters. The fire originated at 8:15 p. m. in Newell's quarters and quickly spread to adjoining barns. Before Ann Arbor Township and city fire departments could get the blaze under control, the barns 'had burned to the ground. With the ex- ception of the two horses, all other livestock was safely evacuated. The Fairgrounds are just outside the city limits on Jackson road. AVC Chapter Picks Officers The Ann Arbor Chapter of the American Veterans Committee elected their executive officers last night at the Michigan Union. } The term of office will last until the first of March, 1946 for the fol- lowing officers; Chairman, Mr. Vic- tor J. Baum; Vice-chairman, Mr. Eugene C. Martinson; Corresponding Secretary, Miss Suzanne LaDriere; Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. Haven E. Jones. The first motion brought to the floor before these officers by the AVC steering committee was on veteran housing policy procedure of the AVC for the coming year. Other sugges- tions on the agenda were better en- rollment information for incoming veterans, the full summer session, and eating cooperatives. Charles G. Bolte, chairman of the National Planning Committee of the AVC was requested by mail to appear on campus during the membership drive which will be held in December. He is expected to speak at one of the Town Hall meetings at the University during his stay in Ann Arbor. 60,000 -o See Michigan Battle Purdue Saturday By BILL MULLENDORE Daily Sports Editor Athletic Department officials pre- dicted yesterday that 60,000 fans, sec- ond largest crowd of Michigan's 1945 home season, will pour into Michigan Stadium tomorrow when the Wol- verines and Purdue, two title-hungry teams, clash in a showdown battle. Defeat for either eleven means cer- Sixteen members of the 1945 basketball squad will journey to Mt. Pleasant today for the open- ing tilt of the season against Cen- tral Michigan State Teachers Col- lege. Coach Bill Barclay, who is lead- ing the cagers in the absence of Bennie Oosterbaan, has named seven. men from whom he will choose tonight's opening lineups. The Wolverine coach has ex- pressed confidence in the outcome of the game.

At thirteen he went to Paris to study at the conservatory from which he was graduated with honors. Un- insky's debut recital in 1928 in the French capital met with such suc- cess that he was engaged for several additional concerts in Paris, as well as an extensive tour of Spain and South America. Now on his second transcontinental recital tour, the gifted pianist has completed three tours of South American. In between times, he has found time to write several composi- tions for piano and a quintet for strings and piano. STUDENT PETITION Students of all faiths are re- quested to sign a petition today protesting the Anglo-American de- cision of Tuesday denying immedi- ate entrance into Palestine during the next three months of more than 4,500 homeless European Jews. "The petitions will be sent to President Truman and to Lord Halifax, asking for the immedi- ate relief of all of Europe's 100,000 Jews, who will be dead from star- vation, exposure and disease if unrelieved within the next three months," Beth Laikin, president of Avukah, said. venth in the series between the two institutions. Of the previous ten, Michigan has won all but two, in- cluding a smashing 40-14 triumph last year that must have turned Coach Cecil Isbell's charges to thoughts of revenge in this fall's renewal. On the Michigan side, Coach Fritz+ Crisler will be forced by necessity to field a revamped lineup as injuries and Navy transfers left gaping holes at three key positions. Center, ably filled by Harry Watts for more than 50 minutes of every game this season, was left wide open' by Watts' transfer to Glenview, Ill., Air Base earlier this week. Freshman Tony Momsen, a relative unknown quantity will replace him in the start- ing lineup. Left halfback, until now shared by Walt Teninga and Pete Elliott, came up for revision when Teninga was in- jured during the Navy game last week. Elliott will get the starting call with Jack Weisenburger, now regular full- back, in reserve. And quarterback is still a problem with the condition of injured Howard See BOILERMAKERS, Page 3 Britio shTroops Restore Order In Tel Aviv TEL AVIV, -Palestine, Nov. 15- (M)-British parachute troops, back- ing up a "punishment by death" warning to rioters and enforcing a complete curfew, restored order' to- day to Tel Aviv after outbreaks in which five persons were killed and more than 100 wounded. The dead were Jews. The injured included Jews, British troops and police. A British officer blamed the viol- ence on a "minority group" and said that the people in general were not violating the curfew. Dr. Israel Ro- kach, mayor of Tel Aviv, appealed over the Palestine radio for disci- pline and observance of the curfew. Several hundred persons were re- ported arrested before the distur- bances, which lasted 24 hours, were quelled by thousands of troops and civil police. But the situation was so well in hand tonight that Maj. Gen. F. I. Bols, commander of the British Sixth Airborne Division, an- nounced that the curfew would be lifted from 7 a. m. to 4 p. m. tomor- row. Slosson Advises U. S. Leave China "Frankly, until Communist charges of American troops interferring in the civil warfare in China are proved, I'm not willing to believe them," Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the histo- ry department told a Daily represent- ative last night. "I do think," Prof. Slosson con- cluded, "that as a matter of expedi- ency and prudence it would be wise for U. S. troops to pull out of China as soon as possible. Nothing would please the American people less than to get involved in the internal con- flict of another nation." Other Nations Must Reveal Their Secrets Inspection of All Atom Plants by UNO Asked By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-President Truman and the leaders of Britain and Canada today offered the secrets of atomic force to Russia and the rest of the world on two main conditions. Those conditions are: 1. That nations which get the atomic secrets must equally share their own scientific secrets now and in the future, when other new and ter- rible weapons of mass destruction may be invented. 2. That the United Nations devise and establish world-wide means of in- specting atomic plants in all coun- tries to help prevent the use of the atom for war purposes. World-Wide Inspection The conditions were set forth in a sweeping declaration on atomic policy issued at the White House today by Mr. Truman, Prime Minister Attlee of Great Britain and Prime Minister MacKenzie King of Canada. This said the atomic bomb and oth- er terrible weapons can be completely controlled only by banishing "the scourge of war from the eath" and it called for building up the United Nations to that end. Byrnes Cables Message A short time before, 'the declaration had been cabled to the foreign mini- sters of Russia, France and China all permanent members of the United Nations Security Council-by Secre- tary of State Byrnes. Russia is the only other nation in the world today regarded by American officials as having the industrial and natural resources capable of atomic developments and diplomats said that the pronouncement in effect puts the issue of atomic secrecy now squarely up to Moscow. Communicated to UNO This afternoon the statement was communicated officially to all the rest of the 51 members of the United Nations. Some top officials described the plan as a "generous offer" to the rest of the world in view of the fact that the United States alone had spent $2,000,000,000 developing the atomic bomb. The plan was worked out dur- ing six days of intensive discussions among American, British and Cana- dian officials. French Policy Hinders Allies Price Alleges Desire To Dismember Reich WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 -(P)- Byron Price, President Truman's special investigator, said today that French policies are leading to the "econonic dismemberment" of Ger- many, contrary to the aims of the Potsdam Agreement. Price told White House newsmen after a call on the President, that France had refused to agree to any plans of the Control Council to keep Germany as an economic unit. As a result, he said, critical conditions can be expected this winter with starvation, riots and disease a dis- tinct possibility. The wartime chief censor spent two months in the American, French and Russian zones of occupation surveying relations between the mil- itary government officials and the German population. Price gave his informal summary to reporters as it became known that the United States and France have begun conversations here on France's proposal to strip Germany 'of control over her industrially rich Ruhr and Rhineland. Injunction Withheld In Hoover Strike Agreement was reached to with- draw the company request for a tem- porary injunction against Local Nn Training Bill Specialization Urge "The state university is the cap- stone of the educational system of the state and the graduate school is the capstone of the university," President Alexander G. Ruthven told members of the graduate student body at an assembly sponsored by the Graduate Student Council last night in the Rackham Building. Dr. Ruthven urged the students to secure specialized training in fields for which they have genuine interest and love as well as to broaden and deepen their education. "The world needs ever better practioners in every field of human endeavor," he said, "and it has never needed them more than at the present time." Assistant Dean Peter Okkelberg of the Graduate School welcomed the graduate students to the University gave a brief sketch of the Graduate School's history and development since the first advance degree was granted in 1849. He particularly wel- comed the large number of foreign students who are enrolled in the Graduate School as well as the many veterans who are resuming their studies. Provost Addresses Principals' Meeting "We sometimes talk about general education in terms of its preparation for life, and this means that we may sometimes forget that education ex- perience is in itself a part of life and living and of importance for its own sake," Provost James P. Adams told the Principal-Freshman Conference yesterday. Addressing former teachers, high school principals, and juniorscollege deans, Dr. Adams continued, "I can think of no better words to carve in stone over the portals of school build- Dean Edmonson Warns Veterans Against TFly-by-Night' Colleges Thousands of returning veterans seeking higher education are still in danger of being "gyped by fly-by- night colleges," Dean James B. Ed- monson, of the School of Education, warned yesterday. Adequate safeguards against new "sheepskinners" have been set up in Michigan by Dr. Eugene B. Elliot, state superintendent of public in- struction, assisted by a committee representing Michigan's leading col- leges and educational associations, Dean Edmonson said. "But most states have no such policing policies.' "The only way to prevent these schools from getting the veteran's $500 is to expose their low stand- ards and poor facilities." T-A riterl +he aso f on estate in academic standards-and to make recommendations for model legisla- tion on charter requirements and su- pervision. "If the veteran is to be protected, something must be done in states that have poor supervision," he said. He reported that the American Council on Education has released a publication listing all chartered colleges in the country with infor- m at i on on their "accredited status." The Army has ordered 15,- 000 copies of the publication for the use of counselors in separation centers. Under present law the Veterans' Administration can require states to suhmit lists of accredited schools Matthaei, Crick Elected to Top Interfraternity Council Positions Fred Matthaei, Delta Kappa Epsi- lon, was elected president of the In- terfraternity Council in a meeting of house presidents last night. By vote of the IFC executive com- mittee, William Crick, Phi Kappa Psi, was named to the post of secretary- treasurer. Matthaei returned to campus this term after an absence of one seme- ster, during which time he was dis- charged from the Navy. He was a in Interfraternity Council activities prior to his election. Eight candidates had petitioned for the two posts. In a meeting of the executive committee yesterday, the list was narrowed to three candi- dates and from this list, house presi- dents made the final selection. Paul John, Delta Upsilon, outlined fraternity participation plans for the homecoming weekend at the house presidents meeting. Fraternity con- tributions to the Community War Chest drive werealso conllected.
