[Vi, No. & ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, DECEM0BER 18, 1945 PRICE FIVE] CENTS Wolverine Cagers Beat Utah, 48-32 .Michigan's Opening Barrage Sinks Utes In Cagemnen's Fifth Straight Victory Michigan's basketball team kept its undefeated record unblemished last night while soundly trouncing a weak University of Utah quintet, 48-32, for its fifth victory of the season before a sparse crowd in Yost Field House. John Mullaney, who topped Wolverine scoring with 12 points, ,two less than Utah's Dave Howard, high man for the evening, led Michigan's at- tack in one of the most accurate Maize and Blue shooting matches to date. Starting off with a bang in the first half, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's cagers potted 12 out of 33 attempted field goals and sunk four charity tosses to lead the western boys 28-11 at halftime. Mullaney sank four goals and two free throws in the initial frame to ru n gine School Reveals Recent Course Change Communication Work To Be Offered in Fall Changes in the curriculum of the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering have been made re- cently, Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the College of Engineering announced yesterday. A new program in electronics-com- munication will start next fall, Prof. A. H. Lovell acting chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering said. It is being offered because of the demand of returning veterans and graduate students, he explained. Veterans taking thecourses offered in this program will learn the under- lying scientific theory in back of the radio and radar equipment they have been using during the war. Radar Electives The program provides that in their senior year, engineering students may take electives in radio, radar or television. A parallel program in the field of machine-power provides elec- tiyes .for students interested in that phase of electrical engineering. The first three years of the programs are alike. "Such elemeitary instruction has tremendous application in industrial electronics," Prof. Lovell said. He pointed out that men who under- stand the principles of electronics are particularly needed by Detroit industries working with complicated speed controls and high frequency heating and doing automatic weld- in g. New Four-Year Program A new. four-year curriculum is now taking the place of the old five year program in industrial-mechanical engineering, Prof. " R. S. Hawley, chairman of the Department of Me- chanical Engineering, announced. Provision will be made for courses in economics, business administration, factory management, and other sub- jects of patricular value to students interested in the industrial phases of mechanical engineering. A course in heating and air . conditioning is in- cluded in this curriculum for the first time. The usual. fundamental courses will be required for graduation. Stu- dents who complete this program will receive the bachelor of science degree in industrial-mechanical engineering. Engineering students who have com- pleted this program with certain elections in the School of Business Administration can fulfill the re- quirements for the degree of master of business administration in three additional semesters, Prof. Hawley said. * * * Faculty Votes On Proposals The literary college faculty, in a special meeting yesterday, voted on individual recommendations of the Joint Committee on the Curriculum, amid growing indications that a final decision on curricular revision may be near. The discussions will be continued at the next faculty meeting. The proposed changes were sub- mitted to a student committee last week. Dean Hayward Keniston said that the committee's reaction would be considered by the faculty in future discussions on the curriculum.

Michaux Opposes Armed Forces Merger Claiming that proposed legislation for a merger of the Army and Navy would be "dangerous to national wel- fare," Capt. Woodson Michaux, head of the University Naval Unit, ex- plained both Army and Navy 'future administrative plans to Naval and Marine personnel last night in the Rackham Auditorium. He described the purpose of the official Army Collins plan as fol- lows: The creation of a single de- partment of defense; the appoint- ment of a joint chief of staff; creation of an air force coequal with the Army and Navy, and the creation of a director of Common Supply. In contesting this plan, Capt. Michaux gave the following reasons for opposing it: There would be a "muddle of merger" if the privilege of free decision were taken away from the Navy; there might be an attempt to absorb the Navy because the chief of staff would control the military budget; the concentration of power in the chief of staff would be enor- mous, and that a very large organi- zation such as the Army plan would call for, would make for "much greater inefficiency, waste and over- lapping of functions than would sev- eral smaller departments." Ekplaining the six points in the Navy plan, Capt. Michaux noted that it called for the establish- ment of a National Security Coun- cil; retention of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, establishment of a Na- tional Resources Board; creation of Central Intelligence and Re- search Agencies, and the establish- ment of an autonomous air force. Criticising the speed with which the current proposal is being consid- ered, Capt. Michaux said that "it is not reasonable to expect a happy family life as a result of a shot gun wedding." Lieut. Comm. I. V. E. Atherton announced that all men desiring room accommodations for the spring term should make their ap- lications immediately even though word has not yet been received con- cerning benefits for the men from' the G-I Bill of Rights. C -I Cold Weather Sales Net $801 In Charity Drive Goodfellow Receipts Topped Only Twice On what was probably the coldest day in Goodfellow history, some 300 shivering coeds raised $801.67 in street sales of the annual Goodfel- low Daily yesterday. In amassing the third largest total in the 10-year series of Goodfellow campaigns, the salesmen, represent- ing two dozen campus women's or- ganizations, valiantly sold Dailies for any amount from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Only in 1937, when the Goodfellows made $825, and in 1942, when they received $810, have street sales of the Goodfellow edition topped yester- day's returns. Cold Kept 'Em In Biting weather kept coed salesmen indoors and prospective buyers' hands in their pockets a large share of the morning. Greatest sales boom came between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., when the sun tried half-heartedly to Group Donations. .. As in former drives, the balance of the Goodfellow committee's goal of $1800 is expected to be filled by group contributions from fraternities, so- rorities and other campus houses and organizations. Letters urging these donations were mailed out by the Goodfellow committee last week. As yet only a relatively small number of contri- butions have been received. Group pledges should be mailed to the - Goodfellow Fund, Michigan Daily, 420 Maynard, before the Christmas recess. shine and the temperature soared to 12 above. Of the 5,000 Dailies printed for the drive, less than 100 remained unsold at 3 p.m. Perhaps the luckiest of the sales- men were the sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta, who remained the entire day within the warm lobby of the League. The most determined efforts to swell contributions were made by Barbour and Jordan residence halls, both of whose salesmen collected many do- nations after their supply of Dailies ran out. Only One Reneged Only one of the assigned sororities failed to show up for the drive, all the other groups sticking steadfastly to their posts. Most successful spots during the early morning hours were the League, the center of the diagonal and the Engine Arch. By noon, sales were highest in the State and North U area. Only a few coeds resorted to slacks to keep them warmer, most of them braving the elements with bare legs. As he bought his Goodfellow Daily, Prof. W. R. Humphreys of the Eng- lish department said to the salesman, "Take this "and buy yourself some stockings." By 2 p.m., those students who did not intend to contribute to the Good- fellow fund knew all the answers. In the morning they said,"I'll buy mine later;" in the afternoon, "I bought nine this morning." Some who had money said they didn't have tme to read it, others who could read com- plained of having no money.

Lindbergh, a pre-war non-inter- ventionist, called tonight for a world organization backed by military power and guided by the "quali- ties represented in Christian ideals." "I have advocated tonight a world organization backed by military pow- er," the noted flier said, "an organi- zation led by Western peoples who developed modern science with its aviation and its atomic bomb. Believe Alternative Worse "But I must confess to you that I am fearful of the use of power. I plead for strong military forces only because I believe the alternative is worse." "If we are able to prevent the mis- use of power based on aircraft and atomic energy in the future, that will mark a greater epoch in human rela- tionships than their invention marked in science," Lindbergh told an Aero Club dinner marking the 42nd anniversary of the Wright brothers' flight. "Yet if we fail, the penalty is stag- gering. We can succeed only by or- ganizing all nations toward this end. For we must face the fact that air- craft and the atomic bomb have brought us to a time when we will either live in an organized world or in constant insecurity. Must Have Organization "To me,it is no longer a question of whether or not we should have world organization, but of what form it should take. I do not believe it would be wise even if it were possi- ble for this country to dominate the world by force." Lindbergh, "lone eagle" of pioneer trans-Atlantic flying and one of the all-time "greats" among pilots, made his first public address since 1941, the year he resigned his colonel's com- misssion because he was "greatly dis- turbed," he said then, by President Roosevelt's implications "concerning my loyalty to my country." Last month he issued a statement sup- porting "in principle" proposals to share the atomic secret if effective United Nations controls were set up. Supreme Court Stays Execution Of Yamashita WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-(/P)-The Supreme Court of the nation he vainly tried to master by the sword granted a stay of execution today to Japanese General Tomoyuki Yama- shita, convicted as a war criminal. The former "Tiger of Malaya," convicted by an army commission of permitting wholesale atrocities in the Philippines, sped a petition here by air mail asking that the case be taken out of the hands of the mili- tary. The Supreme Court justices held a hurried get-together and granted a stay of the death sentence. Whether the high tribunal actually will take jurisdiction over the case-and thus decide the legality of the military trial-was not immediately an- nounced, however. Dance Ticket Sale To begin Gene DeVine To Play At New Year's Party Tickets for the gala all-campus New Year's Eve dance, scheduled from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Monday, Dec. 31, at Waterman and Barbour Gyms, will be placed on sale tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday at theumain desks of the Union and League and on the Diag, weather permitting. Gene De Vine and his 13 piece Michigan State College campus or- chestra will be featured at the only University approved New Year's Party. Women have been granted 1:30 a.m. permission for the informal dance, and Dean Joseph A. Bursley has announced that no fraternity or sorority parties will be approved. Sponsored by the Union and League Councils, the event will mark the fourth consecutive year that an all-campus celebration has been held to welcome the New York.

Local Common Council Gives Licensest10 More Taxicabs Veterans To Get Special Preference from Group The Ann Arbor Common Council passed a recommendation to the chief of police that 10 more cab li-. censes be issued to individual taxi drivers, giving preference to. veterans and special consideration to Kenneth Cavanaugh, at a meeting last night at the City Hall. , The recommendation was made after Cavanaugh appeared before the council to explain that the present cab situation is not conducive to- wards good service and safe driving. He also said that drivers, under the present city ordinance, are not prop- erly protected when they are driving for cab companies. Racketeering Cited Cavanaugh cited cases of racketeer- ing in transfer of licenses from per- sons who have gotten hold of permits which they do not use, to individuals who want to drive cabs but cannot get licenses directly from the police department. He said that a price of $2,500.00 had'been set on a used cab and a license which he was trying to get. Licenses are issued by the city originally at a $15.00 yearly fee. According to Cavanaugh, some li- censes are now held illegally. The present city ordinance on cabs states that no person or company shall own more than 50 per cent of the issued licenses. However, Cavanaugh said that one person who owns a local company and holds 50 per cent share in another does control licenses in excess of the legal number. Survey Taxi Needs The number of licenses issued is deatrmined by the chief of police. At present a survey is being conducted by the Common Council to determine local taxi needs. Veterans were given preference for additional licenses since they have recently been trying to organize a taxi scheme. Although they have conferred with several aldermen, they have not officially appealed their case for licenses to the council and have made their applications indi- vidually to the chief of police. Meanwhile, five of the veterans, who had licenses before the war and were regranted them upon release from service, opened a service last Saturday. German Group Plans Double Holiday Party Deutscher Verein members have laid plans for a two-day Christmas celebration today and tomorrow, ac- cording to Dr. Werner F. Striedieck, club sponsor. A program including German Christmas songs, reading of the orig- inal Christmas story and another Christmas story, charades staged completely in German, refreshments and exchange of gifts will be features of the meeting at 8 p.m. today in the Hussey Room of the League. Tomorrow the Verein will serenade women's residences and houses of professors near campus with tradi- tional German carols. Club members and all German students are invited to attend both functions. Instruction sheets for the art staff of the Gargoyle, and others interested in trying out will be available at the Gargoyle office between 4 and 6 p.m. today. The deadline for literary mater- ial has been extended until to- morrow. All material to be used in the January issue must be in at that time. iolating Clause Note to Union Lists Terms 'Standard Proposal' Sent to Kaiser-Frazer By The Associated Press DETROIT, Dec. 17 - A demand that "appropriate penalties" be pro- vided against employes participating in work stoppages that violate con- tract provisions was made upon the CIO United Automobile Workers to- day by General Motors Corp. The demand was contained in a letter to the union listing more than a dozen stipulations the corporation said must be included in a collective bargaining agreement with the UAW-CIO. The letter was made public by the management as discus- sions of new contract proposals, in- cluding the Union demand for a 30 per cent wage rate increase, were re- sumed. Standard Proposal The UAW-CIO, led by President R. J. Thomas, submitted what it termed a "standard proposal" at the opening of negotiations with the newly formed Kaiser-Frazer Corp. The company, through Edward D. Riordan, director of industrial rela- tions, said it will submit its lists on proposals including its request for a guarantee of company security, at the next meeting Thursday. Termed Satisfactory Both sides termed today's initial conference "satisfactory." T h e y would not enlarge on the provisions of the union contract proposal nor would Thomas say whether it em- bodied a 30 per cent wage increase demand. The new General Motors agree- ment, management there said, must include a stipulation "that there be appropriate penalties, including loss of seniority, against any employee taking part in any strike or work stoppage in violation of the agree- ment." Guarantee Demanded Also demanded was "an adequate guarantee that the union will make good on its pledge to eliminate per- sonal attacks, false accusations and vilification of management through union publications, handbills, litera- ture and releases; and that the in- ternational union as bargaining agent shall accept full responsibility for all items pertaining to manage- ment in such publications and re- leases." MYDA Petitions Signed by 700 Students Oppose U.S. Intervention in China Approximately 700 names were signed to petitions circulated by MYDA yesterday protesting military intervention in China, according to Harriet Ratner, president of the- or- ganization. The petitions will be sent to Presi- dent Truman immediately, she added. "We are wholeheartedly in support of President Truman's stand," she said, "but we do not favor military intervention at this time." "Although a majority of students were in sympathy with our petition," she noted, "many of them said they were not well enough acquainted with the situation to voice an opin- ion." "Because of this reaction, MYDA will sponsor an educational program which will present both sides of the case in not only this situation, but in others that will arise." "All students who are interested in knowing facts about current politi- cal and military actions," she em- phasized," are invited to attend the 1first MYDA meeting following va- cation.

Miller, chairman of the Department of Mechanism and Engineering Draw- ing, and author of "Railway Artillery," "Sea Coast Artillery," and "Mobile ringing in our ears of how much worse a future war will be," he said, "we expect more wars. Two or three in a lifetime are inevitable. They will not be wars of pushing buttons and sending out atomic bombs either, for uranium is scarce and atomic bombs are every expensive to produce." The basis of war is either the urge to dominate or a terrific hunger, Col. Miller said. The evolution of modern artillery began when the cave man,
