After Dispute
With Cabinet
Leftists Demand Cut
In Budget for Army
By The Associated Press
PARIS, Jan. 20-Gen. Charles De-
Gaulle resigned tonight as interim
President of France in a dispute with
left wing cabinet members over the
size of his nation's armed forces.
One source said that "While D
Gaulle's decision is described as ir-
revocable, it might not be that in
eight days," and predicted the crisis
would end "in the formation of a new
De Gaulle' government."
Communists and Socialists had de-
manded an additional 20 per cent cut
in the budget for France's army. De
Gaulle, France's first elected Chief
of State in five years, stepped down
after 48 hours of conferences with
party leaders.
"International Situation"
President De Gaulle strode ab-
ruptly from a turbulent cabinet ses-
sion early in the day. A well-in-
formed source said proposals to re-
duce the army budget were opposed
by De Gaulle "because of the inter-
national situation."
The cabinet session followed re-
peated newspaper attacks on national
defense expenditures and on the ad-
ministration of Minister of the
Armies Armand Michelet, a member
of the MRP. The situation became
tense yesterday, and some well-in-
formed persons were considering the
possibility that a Communist-Social-
ist government might be formed,
headed by a radical Socialist. Ed-
ouard Herriot, pre-war premier, is
leader of the radical Socialists.
Take-It-Or-Leave-It
De Gaulle was reported to have
stated his position to the cabinet
bluntly, on a take-it-or-leave-it basis,
and then to have left the meeting
before it was concluded.
The issues at stake were not made
clear immediately, either by De
Gaulle or by his coalition cabinet,
which was born in the crisis in No-
vember. It is believed that the dis-
pute is a development of the New
Year's day crisis over the Army
budget in which the Socialists took
the lead in cutting expenditures.
Francs "Camouflaged"
During the past few days several'
Paris newspapers have charged that
billions of francs had been "Camo-
fiaged" in the budget for the Army.
The newspaper Liberation said yes-
terday that "If one examines the
budget closely one finds this: to the
125,000,000,000 francs (official budget
figure) have been added some 30 bil-
lions under the heading 'equipment
and reconstruction.'"
De Gaulle is reported to have the
firm support of Armies Minister
Michelet,
Cagers To Face
Indiana Quintet
Revenge Planned for
Earlier Hoosier Upset
Michigan's basketball team will be
out for its second consecutive victory'
and revenge for the 67-58 overtime
defeat it took at the hands of the
Hoosiers early in the season, when it
meets Indiana today on their home
court in Bloomington.
The Wolverines also have an eye on
bettering their .500 mark turned in
in Conference play. Michigan has
victories over Chicago, Illinois, and
Northwestern offset by defeats by
Ohio State, Northwestern and In-
diana.
The Hoosier five has had an up and
down season since they defeated the
Maize and Blue in the Big Ten opener
for both teams in December. They
have taken the measure of Iowa, the
pre-season favorite to cop the Con-
ference basketball title, and last Sat-
urday night gave the highly touted
Ohio State quintet their first defeat
of the current season by the score (f
44-39.
Indiana also has a victory over
Chicago. On the other side of the
ledger Indiana has lost to Minnesota
and Purdue.
Indiana's upset over the Buckeyes

Election Draws

Leftwing Socialists
By The Associated Press
FRANKFURT, Germany, Jan. 20
-Germans voted today in their first
free election in 13 years with an en-
thusiasm stimulated more by the nov-
etly of the return of the secert ballot
than by the politics involved.
First returns indicated clearly that
the turnout exceeded predictions with
BULLETIN
TOKYO, Jan. 21 -(P)- General
MacArthur today took over 394 Jap-
anese aircraft plants, army and
navy arsenals and war laboratories

preserve them intact for probable
shipment as reparations to the na-
tions Nippon once set out to con-
quer.
as many as 90 per cent of the regis-
tered voters casting ballots in some
villages.
With no major issues, the election
was more of a popularity contest than
a political function. Returns from 95
gemeinde (towns and villages) in
Ashfeld, the first landkreid to com-
plete the count, showed unsponsored
candidates leading with 8,925 votes,
with left-wing Socialists getting 7,-
430 and Communists 389.
Col. James R. Newman, director
of the military government for great-
er Hesse, expressed satisfaction at
the heavy vote, declaring "I tpink-
this should prove to the world that
democracy has not been completely
smothered by years of Nazi oppres-
sion."
Nazis were known in several in-
stances to have attempted to sabo-
tage the elections by persuading
qualified voters to stay away from the
polls. The heavy vote showed, how-
ever, that those attempts failed in
general.
Left-wing Party
Calls for Honest
Gree'k Balloting
ATHENS, Jan. 20 - (/P) - Prime
Minister Themistokles Sophoulis has
agreed with right and center party
leaders to hold Greek general elec-
tions March 31, but the extreme left
wing adopted a resolution today
charging the governmnt had not
cleared the way for honest balloting.
About 150,000 left-wing followers,
massed in an Athens stadium, pro-
tested that the government had not
restored order necessary for the elec-
tions and objected to "intervention of
foreign reactionaries who strengthen
and support corrupt Greek political
factions." No country was named
specifically, but left wing spokesmen
recently have decried British influ-
ence in Greece.
Terrorists Kill
Ten in Palestine
JERUSALEM, Jan. 20--(P)-Ter-
rorist violence caused at least 10 cas-
ualties in the Palestine coastal area,'
it was reported tonight. The outbreak,
an attack on the Givat Olga Coast
Guard Station between Tel Aviv and
Haifa, followed bombings yesterday
in Jerusalem.
Part of a coast guard tower was
reported destroyed by an explosion.
The report could not be confirmed
officially.
Givat Olga, out 60 miles northwest
of Jerusalem, was among the coast
guard stations north of Tel Aviv at-
tacked last Nov. 24, following appre-
hension of the Greek steamer Deme-
trois with 200 illegal immigrants
aboard.

March, march, march the dimes are marching. So what,
you ask. Maybe you're getting sick of all these drives, drives,
drives. Oughta put a stop to them. But wait-
Know what happens to your (lime? Your dime becomes
ten little centinals. Ten little centinals that will do a little more
to ease the suffering of polio victims. And don't think they
don't suffer.
The physical and mental torture accompanying infantile
paralysis makes it one of the most dreaded of all diseases. And
an iron lung is no mink coat.i
So give and give generously to the infantile paralysis fund.
Your purchase of today'si Dime Daily has helped a lot. Give
a dime daily during the rest of the drive and you will be help-
ing even more. just as the United Nations are the sentinalsj

TlW(rv ating li-r talk on "Folk Musir,

Dr. Colby, associate professor of
psychology, has traveled throughout
Lbe world in pursuance of her hobby
of collecting authentic folk music of
every civilized, and sometimes not so
civilized, people. She has often used
such rustic means of transportation
ds camel-back, elephant-back, and
donkey-back to reach some of the out
of the way places that "I would have
found it impossible to reach other-.
wise."
"Although folk music is probably
the most permanent type of music
in the world," Prof. Colby declared,
"it is, nevertheless, rapidly disap-
pearing through adulteration and pol-
lution with the other more tempor-
ary types of music of the more im-
mediate past and present."
Folk music is characterized, most
commonly, by two features, Dr. Colby
points out. First, it is music of the

Care Provided
ByDime Drive
One of the patients at the Uni-
versity Hospital whose care is pro-
vided for through the annual March
of Dimes Campaign is Miss Marion
Stafford, 20 year old polio victim.
When stricken with polio in 1944,
Miss Stafford was confined to her re-
spirator all the time, but she uses it
only three or four hours in each 24
hour period. She has also recovered
use of her hands, to a partial extent.
At the time she contracted the dis-
ease, Miss Stafford was living in Ann
Arbor. It was shortly after her
graduation from the Ann Arbor Scc-
retarial School, and she was sharing
an apartment with f a girl friend and
working for the Army Air Forces at
Willow Run.
"A busy day is a less lonely day,"
Miss Stafford said when relating
h bow she spends her ti n "First
lthere is breakfast at 7 a.mn. and the
routine morning schedule before
going to the physiotherapy room
for treatment," she said. At the
treatment room, Miss stafford ex-
ercises and is given r- ,cle mas-
sage and reeducatien. "The thrill

"So with studying and readng',

wheel chair, and writing letters," she
said, "the day is over before I know
it."
Miss Stitffor said that her elan
is to keep three things ahead to be

or a piece of sewing or something
else that will keep me occupied,"
she said, "so that I'll always have

Coeds To Sell

For Campaign
"Let Your Quarte
Be Their Supporter"
The local March of Dimes cam-
paign, being carried on throughoutt
the United States under the direc-
tion of the National Foundation of
Infantile Paralysis, is moving into its;
eighth day with the edition of the
special dime Daily.,
While the minimum price of the
paper is a dime, George Spaulding,
chairman of the men's committee
On campus, said, "It is hoped that
those purchasing The Daily will
give all that they possibly can so
that this will be the most success-
ful drive ever sponsored by the
University."
Jean Gaffney, head of the women's
committee, stated that she hoped that
all would remember the motto, "Let
your quarter be their supporter,"
when the purchaser dropped his
change in the bucket.
More than 400 boxes, which have
been distributed throughout the cam-
pus - and the stores of local mer-
chants, will be collected Tuesday and
Wednesday, the closing day of thei
University drive. It has been re-
quested that all student and faculty
members make their contributions by
then so that they may be included in
the campus donation. The national
drive will extend through Jan. 31.
Mayor William Brown of Ann
Arbor in an interview said, "I am
heartily in favor of the March of
SDiies campaign. I think that
everyone should contribute as lib-
wally -a.s .they can-.not oly with.-
dimes but with dollars. The drive
should be supported by the people
downtown as well as by the campus
group. I can not think of a wor-
thier cause."
A wishing well has been con-
structed by Robert Schoenfield, Rich-
ard Courtright and Arthur DerDerian
and placed at the Arcade on Sate
Street to receive dimes to add to the
campus contribution.
The National Foundation pledges
that no victim of infantile paralysis
in the country shall go untreated for
lack of funds, regardless of age, race,
creed or color.
Foundation chapters spread
throughout the nation stand
ready to give aid, advice and serv-
ice in nearly all of the 3,070 coun-
ties of the nation. These chapters
cooperate with public health offi-
cials and hospitals, provide funds
for needy poliomyelitis patients, for
orthopedic equipment, and for doc-
tors, nurses and physical therap-
ists trained in modern techniues
of treatment.
In order to raise as much as possi-
ble for those who have been afflicted
by polio, plans have been formulated
for sports events in every state and
country in addition to the local
drives.
