LVI, No. 54 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1946 PRICE FIVE CENTS 'Understanding Among Peoples' Emphasized Speakers Tell Veterans Student Exchange Committee UNO Alone Cannot Assure Peace A panel of five speakers told a meeting of the Veterans International Student Exchange Committee yesterday that world peace cannot exist "without understanding among peoples" in an open meeting at the Inter- national Center. The speakers maintained that the United Nations Organization can- not of itself assure peace. The committee's objective is a "large-scale exchange of students un- der the authority of the government of the United States and other gov- ernments of the world." Russian-born Rostislov Galuzevski, Grad., said World War II did not President Demands Answer To Proposals In Steel Wage Controversy by Noon Today; UAW Strategy Group Called to C_ C% Petitions Show Students Want' Pre-War J-Hop Dance Committee To Ask Reconsideration More than 2,300 students signed petitions yesterday for the revival of a pre-war J-Hop weekend, March1 1 and 2, which would include two dances at the Intramural Building, three name bands, house parties, breakfasts following the formal dance, decorations and favors. The petitions were circulated by members of the J-Hop committee to ascertain student opinion on the re- jection of the proposed weekend by the Student Affairs Committeekon the grounds that such a lavish affair would make the University look bad in the eyes of taxpayers, and because of the housing situation. Asserting the entire expense of the function will be defrayed by ticket prices, and that the already promised cooperation of students resident in Ann Arbor has solved the housing problem for the women who will at- tend from out-of-town, the J-Hop committee will attempt to have a re- consideration of the issue by the Stu- dent Affairs Committee, according to Charles Helmick, chairman of the J- Jop committee. "It is the intention of the J-Hop committee to give students the kind of a weekend they want and can re- member, and because of the tremen- dous response of students yesterday, we believe that they are behind our proposed plans," Helmick continued. A meeting of the J-Hop committee and the student members of the Stu- dent Affairs Committee is planned for today, and faculty members will be contacted shortly. J-Hop committee members were se- lected last month in an all-campus election, and include Helmick, chair- man; Dick Roeder, programs, favors and patrons; Bill Lambert, bands; Hal Walters and Pat Hdayes, building; Betty Smith, 'decorations; Roberta Ames, finance; George Spaulding, tickets; Collee Ide, booths; and Lynne, Ford, publicity. IRA To Discuss Ways To Fight1 Discrimination In order to determine a course of action on a recent case of discrimi- nation against a Negro, reported in The Daily Letters to the Editor col- umn Wednesday, a meeting will be held from 7 to 7:30 p.m. today at Robert Owen Cooperative House. The incident concerned occured Saturday afternoon in "a prominent student gathering place in downtown Ann Arbor," according to the letter. Discriminatingly poor service was al, legedly given to a group because a Negro was among them. The Inter - Racial Association, which is sponsoring the meeting, urges that everyone interested in combating racial discrimination at- tend this meeting. Russian Civil Liberty Lauded "The freedom of speech and press which exists in Russia today is not being excelled by any other nation," said Mrs. Paul Robeson in an in- formal discussion following an I.C.C. luncheon given in her honor at Rob- ert Owen Co-op yesterday. "A press which is dominated by capitalistic influence, and speech that is prohibited to a large section of this country's population cannot be called free," declared Mrs. Robeson. c e . /"L0 solve many problems among nations, that "we are faced with many more." He said that an "understanding of others peoples' ideals" is essential to peace, and ",you have to live with other people to understand them." Dr. Eric S. Cheo, Grad., of China, said that the paraiiiount issue in the world today is whether the nations "are going to obey the moral law." Decrying the lack of information that various peoples have of each other, Dr. Cheo said, "the answer to national isolation is international education." He said that China, with her his- tory, philosophy, art and archaeol- ogy, has "much to offer foreign stu- dents," and that his government and (See PEACE, Page 2) Thomas Leadsv Six-Man Union Board to Parley Reuther Unable To Join Surprise Move By The Associated Press DETROIT, Jan. 17 - The CIO United Auto Workers six-man strate- gy committee, which is directing the union's strike against General Mo- tors Corporation, was summoned to Washington tonight by CIO Presi- dent Philip Murray in a surprise move. UAW spokesmen said the summons arrived here shortly after announce- ment at Washington that negotia- tions between the CIO and United States Steel Corporation had failed to produce a settlement of the wage dispute. President Truman immediately submitted to the CIO and steel com- pany a plan for averting a nationwide steel strike and both sides prom- ised to report their answers to him by tomorrow noon. The Detroit unionists professed ig- norance of the nature of the unex- pected parley as their officers hur- riedly attempted to make plane res- ervations for the delegation. UAW President R. J. Thomas headed the group, but Walter P. Reuther, UAW vice-president and di- rector of the union's GM Division was unable to make the trip because of an eye infection. The unexpected summons came after a day of rumors of impending developments in wage negotiations between the Ford Company and the union, whose representatives held another brief meeting today. The rumors stemmed from the re- mark of a union participant in the bargaining session that the UAW- CIO group had held a caucus over a "top drawer secret pertaining to wages." What the secret was, however, was carefully guarded both by the union and management representatives. Clothing Drive Begins Monday Garments To Be Used For Overseas Relief At least one garment for each man, woman and child in the community is set as Ann Arbor's quota in the Victory Clothing Collection drive be- ginning Monday and extending through Jan, 31.

Gabler, and Henry J. Kaiser is national chairman. City trucks will make a curb pick- up Tuesday, Jan. 22, of all clothing and shoes. The collection depot in the voting rooms of the Armory on Fifth avenue near Ann street will be open to receive materials. Articles suggested for the collec- tion are clothing, shoes, hats, caps, other head coverings, and remnants of cloth at least a yard in length.

Meat Dis puters, To Confer- With Head f Board WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-()-The Administration appointed a fact- finding board for the two-day-old meat strike today and arranged an immediate conference of the disput- ing parties with its chairman, Edwin E. Witte. Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach's announcement described Witte as "an expert on the meat packing in- dustry;" He formally was a public member of the War Labor Board and chairman of the Detroit Regional War Labor Board. The other fact-finding board members are Clark Kerr, who was chairman of the WLB's meat packing commission, and Chief Jus- tice Raymond W. Starr of the Michi- gan Supreme Court. There was unofficial speculation that Schwellenbach hoped to obtain in the conference an advance com- mitment by both sides to accept the fact-finding board's recommenda- tions. Such an agreement would eliminate any impasse like that which has followed the refusal of General Motors to accept the fact-finding recommendations in that strike. Called to the 4 p.m. conference with Witte were representtives of the big four packers-Swift, Armour, Cudahy and Wilson-and of the AFL and CIO unions involved. They almost tricked us into joining the post-war utopia cult yesterday afternoon when we read the following notice on the League bulletin board: "I have a typewriter which will do anything you want done." With a numnber of interesting possibilities beginning to take form, we were about to rush off and purchase a half-dozen, when a second glance stopped us: "Graduate Theses to Addressing Post Cards." Shucks! An ordinary lead pencil costs fifty cents and a copy of Love's "Calcu- lus" fifteen dollars in the Philippine Islands. These figures may serve as a meas- uring stick to indicate the size of the problem facing the more than Demonstrations Of GI's Banned By Eisenhower By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 -General Dwight D. Eisenhower disblosed today lie has banned any further GI demon- strations, but ordered inspectors to "every camp and post" to see that his latest demobilization order is followed. The Chief of Staff, appearing be- fore a Senate military subcommittee investigating demobilization, said that there was no use in further demon- strations by soldiers demanding im- mediate release. Eisenhower told the committee he had ordered representatives of the In- spector General's department to visit each installation to observe the pro- cess of demobilization. Commanders havebeen advised to be certain that the way is open for all complaints or requests from sol- diers to go up through channels to their commanders, he added. Eisenhower read to the committee a message from General Douglas Mac- Arthur in answer to a request by Eisenhower in December that troop requirements be pared to the bone. MacArthur expressed complete a- greement and gave this summary of his situation: troop strength in the, Pacific Ocean area, including occu- pation forces, was 1,168,000 on De- cember 1; it will be about 660,000 on, January 20; a steady reduction is planned to bring it down to about 400,000 on July 1. The committee questioned Eisen- hower regarding the recruiting cam- paign and why more civilians could not be used in closing out Army in- stallations. 7,500 students who wish to rebuild the University of the Philippines and continue their education. A University of Philippines fund drive was begun last Wednesday by the WSSF in conjunction with the' SOIC and will continue through Jan. 26.

It was indicated by one source close to the negotiations, who could not be identified, that the President had suggested a pay boost of 1812 cents an hour for. the 800,000 CIO-steel- workers poised to strike Monday That figure would be a compromise between the 15 cents the United States Steel Corporation has offered, and the 19/2 cents the union has been asking. Those close to the situation to- night expressed belief the union, through its president, Philip Mur- ray, would accept. The corporation's decision was still a matter for conjecture. Murray and Benjamin F. Fairless, president of the corporation, sought in an eight hour conference at the White House today to achieve agree- ment. They were unable to bring their viewpoints into line, whereupon Mr. Truman submitted his proposal. There was a possibility that the President's proposal included some provision for a steel price increase. Reconversion Director John W. Sny- der, who sat in on the conferences, has been represented as ready to ap- prove an increase of $4 a ton, but Chester Bowles, OPA Administrator, who conferred with the President yesterday, reportedly was unwilling See STEEL, Page 2 Menthon Asks Death Sentence For 2 Nazis NUERNBERG, Germany, Jan. 17- (P) - A wartime French resistance chieftain today charged 22 top Nazis with torture, looting and persecution and demanded the "supreme pen- alty" for them as an essential first step in reeducating Germany. It was the first time that the prose- cution hadkcalled directly for death sentences for the Nazis on trial be- fore the international military tri- bunal. The demand was voiced by a former Minister of Justice of France, Francois De Menthon, 46-year old philosophy professor at Nancy, who began France's case against the Nazis. De Menthon asserted that the Ger- mans must be shown that organized brutaility as embodied in National Socialism and its doctrines is the "crime of crimes" leading only to "material and moral perdition." The wounded war veteran said that the German people for many years have been "intoxicated by Nazism" and that their re-education is indis- pensable. He said that "some objection might arise at the punishment of hundreds of thousands of men who belonged to such terror organizations as the SS, the SD, the SA and the Gestapo, but declared that "the sys- tematic war of criminality could not have been carried out by Nazi Ger- many without these organizations and without the men who composed them."

Kelly to the spe- cial session of the legislature begin- ning Feb. 4, Prof. Robert S. Ford, di- rector of the Bureau of Government, said yesterday. The Veterans Reserve Fund was established in 1943 and has been built up out of surplus state revenues. Prof. Ford reported these addi- tional plans for liquidation of the Veterans Reserve Fund. Aid to disabled veterans and de- pendents of deceased veterans-Sen. Otto W. Bishop (R-Alpena) has pro- posed that the fund be used to aug- ment federal funds to aid the state's 30,000 disabled veterans and the de- pendants of 8,000 deceased veter- was being "seriously considered." Fol- lowing World War I the state paid the veteran $15 per month of serv- ice at a total cost of $55,000,000. Demands of municipalities, edu- cational institutions, public schools and mental hospitals on the state's $27,000,000 reserve fund total $61,- 000,000, Prof. Robert S. Ford de- clared yesterday. Included in the demands is the about $85. "This would be of little value to either the perfectly well vet- eran or the disabled veteran," Sen. Bishop said. Prof. Ford, who has been conduct- ing a survey of other state's aid plans for veterans at the request of state officials, reported these additional developments: Massachusetts-a flat bonus of $100 to every veteran. New Hampshire-a bonus of $10
