.T1HE MICHIGAN DAILY FDA , EE i,4 Reconversion Is Ahead of Schedule Truman Says Inflationary Pressure Is Still Great, We Must Hold Line By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-President Truman reported with a cheerful smile today that reconversion is ahead of schedule. He read to his news conference a progress report on "the first 100 days of reconversion" and commented that the administration has riot been asleep. It concluded with the statement that "the cost of living has declined 0.3 of 1 per cent since the surrender of Japan compared with a rise of approxi- mately 1.3 per cent in a comparable period after the last war." The chief executive emphasized,S however, that the country is still in the midst of reconversion, that "in- T flationary pressures are still great" o ietn orce and that "we must continue to hold the line." Decrease in Food Costs The cost of living figures, he said, came from the labor department. The report noted, that "some of the decrease is due to the seasonal de- crease in some food costs." On other phases of reconversion, the president reported: 1. "Employment in non-war activi- ties has increased since V-J day. Total employment has now returned to the V-Jday level and is expected to con- tinue to rise. 2. "The job of reconverting our plants from war to peace is virtually completed." Reduced Orders 3. "OPA has reduced orders and regulations on its books to 55 from a wartime peak of 650. ODT has 14 orders standing, as compared with 3,050 during the war. About 85 per cent of wartime export controls have been lifted, and 75 per cent of war- time import controls." 4. "Most peacetime products are already in production or ready to roll." 5. "There has been an upsurge of strikes," attributed partly "to the fact that all parties held their grievances in check during the war." Since August there have been some 1,500 new strikes involving 1,500,000 work- ers. Labor Parley Adopts Policy Conferees Agree On Voluntary Arbitration WASHINGTON, Nov. 29- (AP) - Carefully avoiding controversial is- sues until other business was cleared, the labor-management conference agreed today on two phases of volun- tary arbitration. In its first general business session, the conference also approved resolu- tions opposing racial discrimination and urging establishment of a semi- permanent labor-management ad- visory committee. These steps, taken in perfect har- mony, followed a successful drive by John L. Lewis to require unanimous approval before any conference reso- lutions could become effective. Only three of the six subcommittee reports reached the conference floor and all were speedily adopted. Most important of the reports adopted were those covering negotia- tion of initial collective bargaining agreements, and settlement of griev- ances which arise under present con- tracts. Both ruled out strikes or lock- outs until "all other peaceful proce- dures"-including voluntary arbitra- tion-have been exhausted. Paterson, Former Football Sta', Dies DETROIT, Nov. 29 -(I)- George C. Paterson, a pioneer executive of the Fisher Body Division of General Motors Corp. and a former University of Michigan football star, died of a heart attack at his home today. He was general manager of manu- facturing for Fisher Body at the time of his death. He joined the firm when it was still a separate organiza- tion in 1923, and later served as Fisher Body division head in Lansing and Flint Paterson entered the automotive field in 1914 as an employe of the Saxon Motor Car Co. Troops 'Tofd By The Associated Press LONDON, Nov. 29 - A spokesman of the Iranian embassy declared to- day Russia had threatened to rein- force Red Army garrisons in North- ern Iran if fresh Iranian troops mov- ed up into that troubled area, where insurgent activities now are reported to have spread to a third province. In Washington, Iranian Ambassa- dor Hussein Ala quoted a Russian note to Iran as saying that bloodshed would result if more Iranian forces moved northward, and that this would necessitate Russia's sending more Soviet forces into Iran. Russia occupies the northern part of the country under a wartime agreement with Britain and Iran. Russia Rejects Request Both Ala and the spokesman here said Russia had rejected Iran's re- quest to send reinforcements north- ward after disorders, blamed by the Iranian government on "Separatists," broke out last week in Azerbaijan, the northwest province of Iran bordering Russia. A Russian commander stopped four battalions of Iranians near Kazvin northwest of Tehran, refusing to al- low them to go further. Civil Disturbances Dispatches from Tehran, mean- while, said that civil disturbances had spread to three northwestern prov inces, as a force of insurgents rushed toward Resht, 15 miles from the Cas- pan Sea, in Gilan Province. Both the United States and Britain have sent notes to Russia concerning Iran. The American note suggested the withdrawal of all outside forces and the British message suggested that the Russian commander at Kaz vin must have misunderstood th terms of the three-power agreemen guaranteeing Iran's sovereignty. Senate Def eats Taft UNO Plan WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 -()- A move by Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) t impose what he called some "mild restrictions on the American dele gates to the United Nations Organiza tion was beaten in the Senate today 41 to 18.

Help Vets Adjust Thuma, Arthros Offer Aid to 696 Ex-G.Is Serving as counselors to the 696 veterans enrolled in the literary col- lege, Prof. Burton D. Thuma of the psychology department and Prof. John Arthros of the English depart- ment, both veterans themselves, are attempting to help the veteran ad- just to academic civilian life. The advisers anticipate such prob- lems as changes of motivation result- ing from experience in the armed forces and the need for adjustment to university work. The counselors try to give each veteran individual attention. Prof. Arthur Van Duren, chair- man of the academic counselors, as- serted that, as more veterans return to the University, "we are gaining ex- perience in handling their academic problems." Prof. Van Duren added that the returning serviceman is far more serious in purpose than the av- erage civilian student. State Prop,,'oses Youth Program Plan Would Add Two Years to High School By The Associated Press LANSING, Nov. 29-A group of educators, fearing a shortage of post- war jobs for persons under 20, have approved a plan to add two more years to the Michigan public school program. The state committee on the secon- dary (high) school program, in a publication of the department of pub- lic instruction, declared that the high schools of Michigan may be chal- lenged to extend their grade coverage, to reorganize their offerings and to adjust their programs to meet the needs of all Michigan youth. The Michigan Public Education , Commission in 1944 endorsed a sim- lar proposal for addition of the 13th and 14th grades. "Youth between the age of 17 and 20, the report declared, "may become 3 a lost and unwanted generation. Even the provision of a year of compulsory military training will not avail to bridge that four year gap between the secondary school and the job."

Goldstein intimates, however, that .he may not return to the Gargoyle. Since the controversy began, he has received an offer to write something for the New York- er (a competing humor magazine): t a check for the renewal of last year's subscription. 'Grandparent'Trouble In Sociology Class The sociology professor was having trouble. His class was slow in counting up how many grandparents a person would have in ten generations. He got down to details. "Well, how many grandparents do you have?" he asked a girl in his class. "Four," she answered. The profes- sor was taken aback and told his student to think again. She repeated1 "Four," a bit puzzled. The professor couldn't see it in her light until someone mentioned his mother's1 and father's grandparents. The professor's trouble was at an end. Newman Club Elects Donnelly, Jodka, eidgc Thomas Donnelly was elected presi- dent, John Jodka men's vice-presi- dent, Doris Heidgen women's vice- president, Peggy Costo secretary and Bob Schrodo treasurer at a recent meeting of the Newman Club. In addition Carmelita Fisher, Charles Birdsall, Kay Kaye and Mary Battle were chosen to serve for the coming year on the Executive Council of the Club. The new officers, following instal- lation, presented their program for the year aimed at inaugurating bal- anced religious, educational and social movements within the organi- zation. "The success of the program," they said, "is not dependent on the en- thusiasm of the new officers alone, but on the active interest of all mem- bers."Y Catholic students may obtain mem- bership after any of the Sunday masses.
