Meet at Lansin
AVC, VO Members Ask 500 Housing
Units Be Moved from Willow Village
By LOIS IVERSON
That housing veterans at Willow Run would deny them half the ad-
vantages of University education was agreed upon yesterday in Lansing
where campus members of the AVC and V.O. met to discuss Ann Arbor's
critical housing problem.
Representatives of the joint housing committee of these two veterans'
groups saw Gov. Kelly, the governor's secretary, A. Ley, Dr. Eugene B.
Elliot, state superintendent of public instruction, Lt. Gov. Vernon Brown,
and Col. Philip Pack, director of the state office of veterans affairs.
Prof. Goudsmit
Reports to Senate
Prof. Samuel A. Goudsmit, on
leave from the University physics
department, last night told the
Senate Atomic Committee that
German scientists had shelved the
idea of using the atom bomb in
World War II.
Prof. Goudsmit, head of a mili-
tary intelligence commission, re-
cently returned from studying the
enemy's work on atomic energy,
declared that the Nazis had arro-
gantly assumed that their nuclear
research was far ahead of the
Allies.
An Associated Press report quot-
ed Prof. Goudsmit as saying that
not until news broke of the Ameri-
can atom attacks on Japan did
Germany realize how far ahead
were their foes. Hitler's threat of
a "secret weapon," he added, was
just talk.

4To Move Downtown
Tomorrow the "bucket brigade'
will move downtown to cover the non-
university area, with just a few hardy
souls remaining on campus for late
contributors.
For the past two years, Galens have
exceeded their $3,000 goal. Today they
will be out to make it three in a row.
Here is how your contributions
will be used:
For Galens Workshop
Majority of the funds collected will
be used to maintain and improve the
Galens workshop on the hospital's
ninth floor. Through your contribu-
tions Galens is able to furnish a sup-
ervised occupational and recreational
program. At the moment, the kids
are busy working on Christmas pres-
ents; but all year 'round, handicrafts
are turned out under the guidance of
a trained instructor.
The equipment of the workshop in-
cludes several power tools, some of
which will have to be replaced after
extra years of use during the war, and
special handicraft imlements. Sup-
plies of paint, wood, nails and other
equipment must constantly be renew-
ed. Your help in filling up the pails
will keep the workshop going.
Christmas Party
Heavy buckets will also mean a
Christmas party for the kids, com-
plete with gifts, a Christmas tree,
Santa Claus, music and entertain-
ment.
The Galens workshop is the only
one of its kind in the country. Hospi-
tal authorities and parents have been
well pleased with its help in keeping
the children happy and busy during
convalescence.
')earlHarbor'
Dance To Admit
Veterans Free
A "Pearl Harbor Day" dance,
sponsored by the Veterans' Organi-
zation, will be held from 9 p.m. to
midnight. today in the Union ball-
room with Bill Layton's orchestra.
The dance is an all campus affair
but all members of the V.O. will be
admitted free upon presentation of
their membership cards.
Money made from the dance will
be used to start a fund for the estab-
lishment of a non-profit cafteria on
campus for all veterans and students.
This project is undertaken by the
V.O. in efforts to re-open the Wol-
verine cafeteria to help reduce the
cost of living in Ann Arbor for vet-
erans.

Decision Near
On $25,000
Bomber Fund
The Student Bomber Scholarship
Committee neared a decision yester-
day on the problem of making its
$25,000 fund available to former Uni-
versity students returned from the
war.
Following a report from VO Presi-
dent Bill Akers summarizing veterans'
needs, the committee was in agree-
ment that a "veterans' emergency
fund" should be established to aid
veterans who might be forced to leave
school because of financial difficult-
ies.
Similar to Goodwill Fund.
The emergency fund would be simi-
lar to the existing Students' Good-
will Fund, under which outright cash
gifts are given needy students.
To qualify for aid under the "vet-
erans' emergency fund," a veteran
would have to fulfill these require-
ments of the Bomber Scholarship con-
stitution: at least 30 credit hours
prior to entering the service and un-
dergraduate standing,
A motion that would make the
fund available to all veterans was
tabled by the committee, which was
agreed that the "original intent" of
the Bomber Scholarship founders
should be followed.
Dean Bursley, Advisor
Dean of Students Joseph A. Burs-
ley, faculty advisor to the committee,
said that all veterans needing finan-
cial assistance can apply for aid under
the Students' Goodwill Fund.
The committee also considered
making part of the fund available to
veterans whose educational benefits
under the G.I. Bill will not be suf-
ficient for them to graduate.
Bill Akers was elected president of
the committee, and Joyce Siegan,
SRA representative, was elected sec-
retary.

State Bankers'
Meeting Opens
Problems of Europe
Discussed by Fetzer
John E. Fetzer addressed the Michi-
gan Bankers group, guests of the
School of Business Administration, on
the subject "Europe 90 Days Later"
at a banquet yesterday. -
Fetzer, former United States radio
censor, made a tour of the continent
as an accredited war correspondent
at the invitation of Gen. Eisenhower.
His first impression of England was
the atmosphere of complete under-
standing betweenthe English people
and the G. IL "The American Soldier
has ably proven his position as dip-
lomat," he said.
The situation in France, he com-
mented, is not as favorable because
the United States has not sent the
help promised to the French under-
ground. The well clothed American
soldiers are doing little to ease the
situation, he pointed out.
A solution to the problem, as
presented in the veterans' pro-
posals (see PROPOSALS following
story for specific details) was ap-
proved in theory by the state of-
ficials.
In essence, the veterans' housing
plan is an extension of the 38 units
already in Ann Arbor at Veterans'
Village, now administered by the
University. The plan would provide
for an increase of 500 additional simi-
lar units.
The plan will be presented to the
University today by the veterans'
housing committee.
It was learned at Lansing that the
money for the project is not immedi-
ately available in lump sum.
Possibility of allocating part of the
$51,000,000 state veterans fund for
this project will be discussed at the
special session of the legislation in
January.
Principle arguments for moving
these units from Willow Run to
Ann Arbor are based on the social
needs of the returning veteran.
Keeping the units at Willow Run
will be a continuation of barracks
life for the veterans, they contend.
A veteran living in Willow Run
would have to leave by 7:30 a.m. to
make an 8 a.m. class and if he used
the library, he will not be able to re-
turn home before 10 p.m.
In Ann Arbor, veterans declare,
they are able to have their noon and
evening meals with their families
and are. able to participate in the
social and cultural activities offered
in Ann Arbor.
As a majority of the units in Wil-
low Run require coal stoves for heat-
ing and cooking, it is necessary for
someone to stay at the home 24 hours
a day, the arguments continue.
"A study is being made to deter-
mine the possible sites in Ann Ar-
bor for the erection of the 500 ad-
ditional units," Russell Wilson, of
the AVC pointed out. "The city,
school board, and University have
unused land areas within the city
limits."
Wilson said that the Common
Council will hear specific recommen-
dations for a site at its next meeting.
Members of the housing committee
who went to Lansing were Wilson
and Edward Moore, of the AVC; Sam
Bass, Warren Wayne, and Kenneth
Fleichhauer of the V..; and Cyril
Brownand Harley Griggs of the
Wayne University (Detroit) Veter-
ans' Association.
"The housing committee is try-
ing to cooperate with the Univer-
sity and the city of Ann Arbor in
solving the housing problem,"
Moore said. "We do not consider
our plan to be in conflict with the
present housing program, we
merely consider it an extension of
these plans."
"We do not fel that the plan rep-
resents the only solution to the prob-
lem" Wilson stated. "We merely
propose it in order that a definite
discussion of the proposals may be
started. The plan may not be feasi-
ble for reasons known only to the
University."
"We are trying to project this
problem into the open," he added.
RECOMMENDATIONS
There are portable duplex apart-
ments available at Willow Run. Thir-
ty-eight of these have been installed
in Ann Arbor by the University of
Michigan. It is proposed that an ad-
ditional 500 of these units, housing
1,000 families, be set up in Ann Arbor
as a Veterans Emergency Housing
Unit, under the auspices of the Uni-
versity.
The figures given below are based
on the experience of the University
in connection with the thirty-eight
units currently in use. It is proposed
New
Will
Status of V.12's
Affect Situation
"We shall not be able to determine
to what extent the termination of the
V-12 and NROTC programs in Feb-
ruary will affect the civilian housing
situation until the future status of
present V-12 members is announcer,"
Frances C. Shiel, Acting Director of
Residence Halls, said yesterday.
Between 3,500 and 4,000 veterans
are expected to enroll here in March,
Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss
announced yesterday, and this influx
will further aggravate the housing
shortage.
At present, civilians, many of them
veterans, occupy two houses in the
West Quadrangle and part of the
East Quad. Next semester six other
houses in the West Quad will be free
so far as Navy control goes, Shiel
said, and the University will take
over management of the entire West
Quadrangle at the beginning of the
spring semester.
Whether former V-12 students, if
discharged with the termination of
the program, will be given preference
for rooms there or whether veterans
will have first choice has not been
and will not be decided by Univer-
sity officials until the future stand-
ing of V-12 members is announced,
Shiel pointed out.
The graduation of Co. A on Dec. 22
will leave the East Quadrangle free,
with the exception of rooms occu-
pied by 100 medical students in the
Army, who will remain here through
June 30. With two men in single
rooms, 286 civilians also are now liv-
ing there.
Houser Discusses
Racial Problem
The best approach to the race
question is through education, by
giving pamphlets and books wide
circulation and by speaking to all
classes of people, George M. Houser
of the Congress of Racial Equality
told members of the Inter-Racial
Association yesterday.
Equally important is government
action, such as fighting for anti-poll
tax legislation, he continued.
Preceding Houser's address, a busi-
ness meeting was held and Jean

Capitol Says
Housing Units
Can't Be Moved
Unoccupied housing units at Wil-
low Village, numbering about 2,220,
will be left in the Village, unofficial
information from Washington has
disclosed.
All movable units were "frozen" by
the FPHA some time ago. Their sale
was banned, except for providing
housing for veterans and their fam-
ilies.
Eight hundred units of the 3,000 at
the Village are occupied at present.
Approximately 120 veterans attend-
ing the University now live there.
These veterans are served by a shut-
tle bus service provided by the Uni-
versity.
H. V. Brentlinger, manager of the
Village, said that the cost of moving
the units would be prohibitive, add-
ing that it would be cheaper to con-
struct new buildings.
