Squad to Debate on Far Eastern Issues Members of the Varsity Debate CN. .- ~ ..VI .-...--,4.-.- in. r a, cvnYnVl flllYm By DES HIOWARTH Special to The Daily TORONTO, Jan. 26-Unleashing a five-goal assault in the final period, the University of Toronto hockey team came from behind to hand Michigan's sextet its second straight defeat, 7-5, today at the Varsity Arena. Until the Blue's whirlwind finale, Cocha Vic Heyliger's pucksters had things all their own way. They piled up a four-goal advantage during the first two periods and completely smothered the Toronto attack with a. great defensive exhibition. Jack MacInnes was outstanding in the Maize and Blue net. Score Five Goals Then the roof caved in. Led by Wally Halder and Bill Kosick, the Blues poured five goals through Mac- Innes and the tiring Wolverine de- fense while checking Heyliger's men with a lone marker. For the second time in as many nights, Haider again sparked the Toronto attack with three goals, two of them unassisted. Wall Grant spearheaded the Mich- igan scoring with a pair of tallies while Al Renfrew chipped in with three assists. Gordie MacMillan and Captain Connie Hill each contributed a goal and an assist to the Wolverine total and Bill Jacobson accounted for the other tally. Jacobson Stars Jacobson started things off for the Wolverines in the first stanza, scoring on a pass play from Renfrew at 3:33. It was 10 minutes before the Maize and Blue could add a second marker, Hill then taking another of Renfrew's >asses and rifling the puck past the Toronto goalie from just inside the home team's blue line. That was all Michigan could do in the initial period but Grant kept up the hot pace for Heyliger's crew after the intermission by firing a pair of see HOCKEY, page 6 March of Dimes Ends Thursday House Boxes To Be Turned in Tomorrow The thirteenth annual March of Dimes being conducted nation-wide by the National Foundation of In- fantile Paralysis will close Thursday.

CIO Meat Workers l ay End Walkout Tomorrow WORLD POLITICS: By The Associated Press CHICAGO, Jan. 26-Union action today gave promise that a labor force of 248,000 AFL and CIO workers ont strike in the meat packing industry since Jan. 16 would be back on the job Monday, working for Uncle Sam.r Twelve hours after the Govern-x ment took possession of strikebound plants the CIO-United Packinghouse Workers Union leadership urged its 193,000 members to return to work Monday, reversing its decision yes- terday not to go back. However, the CIO did not call off its strike but or- dered pickets withdrawn at 5 p.m. to- day. Ready To ReturnX Prior to the seizure the AFL-Amal- gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher1 Workmen's Union directed its 55,000 striking members to go to work for the government and today Patrick E. Gorman, secretary-treasurer, said they had returned or were ready to return. Management of the seized proper- ties pledged cooperation to Gayle G. Armstrong, government representa-f tive of President Truman and Secre- tary of Agriculture Anderson. A spokesman for Armstrong said livestock could be started into pack- ing plants over the weekend and "by Monday we should have a good vol- ume of operation, but not nearly 100 per cent." Fact-finders Meantime, a fact-finding panel working all week in Chicago on the meat strike controversy finished its hearings. Its chairman, Dr. Edwin E. Witte of the University of Wis- consin, said the panel had gathered Students Urge Congressional Action on FEPC Five more student organizations joined the campaign to get the FEPC bill through Congress yeserday, when they sent telegrams to congressmen and senators urging action.1 AVC, through Chairman Vic Baum, telegraphed Sen. Dennis Chavez, New Mexico Democrat who introduced the FEPC bill, commending him on his efforts to break the current Senate filibuster. IRA sent a telegram to Sen. Wayne Morse commending his move for 24- hour Senate sessions to break the fili- buster. CLA, through Wayne Saari, wired Sen. Homer Ferguson, local Congressman Earl C. Michener and others, asking their support of the bill. Hillel sent telegrams to Ferguson and Michener, and SOIC also contac- ,ed Ferguson. MYDA telegraphed Ferguson Fri- day.

Starr of the Michigan Su- preme Court and Clark Kerr of the University of California. Anderson's Telegram1 A telegram from Secretary Ander- son to the leaders of both AFL and CIO unions played a key role in the CIO reversal of action. In it Ander- son assured the unions that he would "immediately apply" for approval of any wage increases the fact-finding panel might recommend. Use Taxes as Guard Against Inflation - Ruml CLEVELAND, Jan. 26-(P)-Fed- eral taxation should block inflation by maintaining the purchasing power of the dollar, Beardsley Ruml, au- thor of the Ruml "Pay-As-You-Go" income tax plan, today told a joint conference of the American Economic and American Finance associations. "Taxes should be high enough to protect the stability of our currency, and no higher-or, putting it another way, as low as they possibly can be without putting the value of ,our money in danger of inflation," he de- clared. The economist appealed for elimi- nationof taxes on consumption "ex- cept when these are'imposed for reg- ulatory purposes," and abolition of corporation income taxes. Ruml urged adoption of a "simple and understandable" tax system ac- companied by regulatory measures "so that the corporate form of doing business will not be used as a device to avoid payment of individual in- come taxes or as a means of building up unneeded and unused corporate surpluses, or to secure tax advan- tages over unincorporated busi- nesses." Dr. Alfred G. Buehler of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania told the con- ference corporate and individual in- come taxes should be moderated "as' they apply to the income of small business." 18 to 18'- Cent Russia Accused By Iran; Claims Kurile Islands France Gets Pledge Of Economic Reform By The Associated Press LONDON, Jan. 26-Iran's delega- tion to the United Nations assered in a new note to the Security Coun- cil tonight that Soviet interference in Iran's affairs "can be fully proved."

Ahmed Qavan an- nounced he would seek direct nego- tiations with Russia on the dispute with the Soviet Union, giving rise to speculation that his government may withdraw or defer action on the complaint put before the Security Council.

Raise Granted Auto Workers CIO.Demands GM Officials Go Higher By The Associated Press DETROIT, Jan. 26 - The CIO United Automobile Workers Union settled its wage disputes today with the Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. at approximately half the originally demanded 30 per cent in- crease. Close on the heels of an agree- ment between Ford and the UAW- CIO providing for an 18 cents an hour (15.1 per cent) increase, Chrysler and the union announced their dispute had been settled on the basis of an 18 cents an hour (16.2 per cent) increase. Approximately 100,000 Ford work- ers participate in the increase which brings their average wage to $L37 an hour; 48,000 production and hourly-rated employes share in the rise in Chrysler wages, which will average $1.32 1/2an hour. The increases add approximately $39,000,000 annually to the Ford pay- roll and $18,000,000 a year to Chrys- ler wages. The increases granted by Ford and Chrysler are not expected to have any effect on new auto prices recently set by the Office of Price Administration. A Ford spokesman said no requests for upward adjustment of auto prices would be sought, while Chrysler of- ficials declined formal comment. The new wage scale leaves Ford's average hourly wage 4/2 cents an hour higher than Chrysler, while un- der the old pay levels Ford paid five cents an hour more. Announcement of the settlements brought no immediate comment from General Motors officials, whose 175,- 000 production workers have been on strike since Nov. 21. In Washington, however, R. J. Thomas and Walter P. Reuther, UAW-CIO president and vice-pres- ident, respectively, announced the union would expect more from GM than was obtained in the Ford set- tlement. "GM will have to go higher," said Thomas, "because its present rates are lower than Ford's." The General Motors average now is $1.13. Said Reuther: "We will not settle with GM for less than 191/2 cents." Both the Ford and Chrysler agree- ments must be submitted to the work- ers for ratification. Effective date of the Ford agreement was left to fur- ther discussions. The Chrysler con'- tract, effective tday, will run until Feb. 15, 1947. Strikers Will Return to Workd 'U' ASTRONOMER SAYS: Rocket Travel to Moon Out For UnpredictableMillineum By MARSHALL WALLACE, Squelching would-be Buck Rogers' with unromantic scientific probabil- ity, Associate Professor of Astronomy Allan D. Maxwell, longtime member of the University Observatory staff, yesterday deprecated the possibility of using radar to the moon for any- thing more exciting than accurately measuring astronomical distances. Acknowledging that the recent radar contact with the moon is un- questionably a "tremendous accom- plishment," Prof. Maxwell cautioned the public against "bazaare specula- tion" on the immediate possibilities of the achievement. llrlic is +h fr- ra ,,ri ri ,in determine with greater accuracy the exact distance of the moon from the earth at any specific time. "Man already has as accurate a picture of the moon, down to its very detail, as could be desired, these maps having been drawn through telescopic inspection of its surface conditions." The successful transmission of such radar waves to the other plan- ets encounters tremendous obstacles, Prof. Maxwell said. The nearest planet to the Earth is Venus, 108 times as far from us as the moon. It would require an electrical impulse ten million times as strong as that used to contact the moon to send a WELCOME NEWS: Vet Education Needs Will Get Top Priority in Legislature At Hoover Plant The 12-week-old Hoover Ball and Bearing Co. strike will end at 7 a.m. tomorrow when 175 of the 500 men involved return to work with "nearly everything we asked for" in their back pockets.
