Attlee Will Meet
President Truman
Leaders Will Discuss Atomic Energy
In Capitol; NoIBig Three Meeting Seen
By The Associated Press
LONDON, Nov. 9-Prime Minister Attlee flew tonight toward Wash-
ington for atomic energy talks which he hoped would help achieve a world
"safe for the common man" and banish fear of the atomic bomb.
Speaking at a Lord Mayor's luncheon, Attlee said he would discuss world
affairs with President Truman and
Second Choral
Union Concert
I's To 'morrow
Cleveland Orchestra,
Leinsdorf To Perform
Highlighting the second Choral
Union concert of the season, the
Cleveland Orchestra, conducted by
Erich Leinsdorf, will open its pro-
gram at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Audi-
torium with the Bruckner "Sym-
phony No. 7 in E major."
The symphony, composed in 1881-
83, during Bruckner's Viennese pe-
riod, is the product of a symphonic
master. Freedom and ease in the
symphonic manner, a limpid flow of
melody and sure control in the inter-
weaving of themes is characteristic
of the Australian's style.
Undecided on Career
Until 1856 when he was appointed
organist at the cathedral in Linz,
Bruckner had been unable to decide
between music and teaching as a ca-
reer. He studied periodically under
Simon Sechter, well-known master
of theory, and under Otto Kitzler,
modern composition instructor, in
Vienna. It was at this time that
Bruckner wrote his first big indepen-
dent works.
Later a choirmaster and teacher of
theory and organ at the Vienna con-
servatory, Bruckner devoted his time
to creative work, composing some
chamber music and a string quintet.
His style grew out of the baroc con-
cert masses and motets of the 17th
and 18th centuries and is linked to
the works of Haydn and Schubert. It
is religious music but free and daring
in individual outlook as well as mod-
ern in idiom.
Orchestra's Eighth Visit
Ravel's "Bolero" and suite from
the ballet, "Appalachian Spring," by
Copland complete the orchestra's
program. This is the eighth appear-
ance of the Ciaveland orchestra on
the Choral Union series. The or-
ganization appeared here last year
under the guest conductorship of
George Szell. Erich Leinsdorg, con-
ductor, has returned to the podium
after a year's absence in service.
Concert-goers are reminded that
the program will begin at 7 p.m., one
and a half hour earlier than usual.

Deny Big Three Meeting
London newspapers speculated that
Premier Stalin might join Truman
and Attlee for Big Three conferences
in Washington, but a spokesman at
No. 10 Downing Street said "as far as
we know here, there is nothing in that
report at all." Moscow dispatches
showed that Russia was keenly inter-
ested in the British-American-Cana-
dian atomic energy talks.
In Washington, congressional lead-
ers arranged for Attlee to address a
joint session of the Houe and Senate
at 12:30 p. in., EST, Tuesday.
Attlee Speaks
"I want a world which will be safe
ifor the common man," Attlee declared
at the luncheon.
"London learned its lesson. Only
by the world learning the same lesson
can civilization endure. The foun-
dation of world order must be laid in
the hearts.of men.
Labor Parley
Clears Shoals
On Union Rights
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-The labor-
management conference was said to-
day to have cleared the collective
bargaining shoals on which the post-
war parley of 1919 foundered.
Dr. George W. Taylor, conference
secretary, gave this word to reporters
as employer and worker deleo.tes,
behind closed committee doors, sought
agreement on basic labor relationFis-
sues.
Principle Accepted
Dr. Taylor, former war Labor Board
chairman, said that in all of the six
conference committees it was "fair
to say" that there was full acceptance
of the collective bargaining principle.
Twenty six years ago the confer-
ence that followed World War I
broke up in angry disagreement be-
cause it could not adopt a resolution
stating that workers are entitled to
be represented by unions or persons
of their own choosing.
Deciding Grievances
A committee on existing collective
agreements studying wildcat and
"quickie" strikes, Taylor said, appear-
ed to be in agreement that if there
is to be a no-strike, no lockout clause
in contracts, there must be some
quick terminal point in grievance pro-
cedure.. A provision for deciding
grievances based on contract inter-
pretations is needed, Taylor said.
The committee on representation
and jurisdictional questions was en-
gaged in analyzing national labor re-
lations board procedures and explor-
ing the possible improvement of ma-
chinery for the settlement of juris-
dictional disputes by the unions
themselves.
Chinese Reds
Issue Warning
CHUNGKING, Nov. 9-Chinese
Communists issued a blunt "stay
out" warning today to Nationalist
troops waiting ominously by t,-
thousands of Manchuria's southern
border, along the historic great wall
near American-guarded Chinwang-
tao.
TJIhe Reds cancelled abruptly w
scheduled afternoon peace talk in
Shungking and said they would op-
pose entry of Generalissimo Chiang
KaiShek's troops into Manchuria or
any other "liberated areas."
The Government, they charged, is
using 49 armies aggregating 127 di.
visions-nearly 1,000,000 men-for
'this civil war," plus 350,000 puppet
troops. Forty-nine of the Goverp-
ment divisions are supplied wholly or
partly with American equipment,

Federal Tax
Cuts Assured,
T rumn Signs
Bill Sponsors Contend
No Loss of Revenue
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-Federal
tax cuts for everybody in 1946 are now
an assured fact.
The White House announced today
that President Truman has signed
the bill lopping an estimated $5,920,-
000,000 off the total of taxes that will
be paid by individuals and corpora-
tions next year.
It will be the first general tax re-
duction since 1929, when President
Hoover signed a "Christmas present"
slash. Congressional sponsors of the
cuts argued that they would stimulate
business to such an extent that the
treasury actually may not suffer a
loss in revenue. The total cut is
nearly $1,000,000,000 larger than that
recommended by the government.
Provisions Listed
The legislation was signed by Mr.
Truman Thursday night. Here is
what it will do:
For. individuals-ends income tax
paying entirely for 12,000,000 persons
who now pay only the three per cent
normal tax levied on all net income
above $500; assures 10 per cent or
more reductions for persons making
up to $50,000 a year, with smaller
percentage cuts for those making
more than $50,000; repeals the $5 a
year use tax on automobiles, trucks
and boats; holds at one per cent for
1946 the Social Security Tax assessed
against emploees' pay checks and
employers' payrolls.
Repeals Excess Profits
For corporations-repeals the war-
time excess profits tax of 85.5 per
cent.
For veterans-forgives all tax levies
on the wartime service pay of enlist-
ed men and gives others three years
in which to settle taxes imposed on
their wartime pay.
Withholding of individual income
taxes from employes' pay-checks will
be continued.
Victory E-Bond
Buyers To Get
Movie Tickets
All purchasers of Victory E-Bonds
in the theatres of Ann Arbor will be
entitled to a free ticket of admission
to the Victory Show which will be
held at the State Theatre at 9 p. m.
Nov. 28.
The premiere showing of "Week-
End at the Waldorf" starring Ginger
Rogers, Lana Turner, Walter Pidgeon,
Van Johnson, Edward Arnold, Rob-
ert Benchley, and Keenan Wynn will
be seen by all those who purchase
bonds in the theatres up to 9 p. in.
The Victory Show is being planned
to honor the fighting men and women
of Ann Arbor who have returned
from overseas duty.
Kuenzei Made
Union Manager
The Michigan Union has a new
general manager.
He is Frank C. Kuenzel, of Ann
Arbor, who has been serving as act-
ing director since Feb. 9, 1941.
Kuenzel replaces Stanley G. Waltz,
a graduate of the University literary
college in 1927 and an 'M' man in
basketball. Waltz left his post in
1941 to serve overseas with the Army
as a member of the United States
Salvage Commission. He has resigned
his position with the Union in order
to continue with the commission in
a civilian capacity.

Wolverine Eleven To Attempt Breakin
Middies' Long String of Five Victories
By BILL MULLENDORE
Daily Sports Editor
Oct. 27 may have been Navy Day for the nation at large, but Michigan's
football team has a Navy Day date all its own today when it takes the field
against the representatives of the United States Naval Academy at 2 p. m.
in Baltimore Stadium.
Even though the game will have no bearing on the outcome of the
Western Conference title race, its importance to Coach Fritz Crisler and
his Wolverine gridders cannot be minimized. Similarly, the Navymen also
have a lot at stake in this intersectional clash that has awakened national
interest.
For Michigan, the challenge is to insure a position among the ranks
of America's elite in the world of football. For Navy, the problem is to

Today for Hteroismn in Bttle
By RUTH GERBER
"Fellows in the other battalion
were being slaughtered and we were
asked to volunteer to evacuate their
wounded; naturally everybody vol-
unteered," is the way Dennis E.
Youngblood; USMCR, describes the
act for which he is being awarded the
Navy Cross today for "extraordinary
heroism during a Japanese counter-
attack on Saipan."
Buddies Teamed Up
"We teamed up," Youngblood con-
tinued, "and two of my buddies were
less fortunate than I. After seeing
what happened to them, I wanted to
get out of there and happened to run
into these Japs."
The citation accompanying the
Cross reads: "After putting several
of the wounded on a tin sheet and
dragging them to safety, Youngblood
then worked his way about 200 yards
forward of the American lines to a

Will Testify in Capital;
May Be Chief of Staff
FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov. 9-
(/P)-U. S. headquarters announced
today Gen. Eisenhower would leave
"within a few hours" to testify be-
fore congressional committees in
Washington and authoritative sources
predicted his trip was a prelude to
an assignment to succeed Gen. George
C. Marshall as Army Chief of Staff,
perhaps late in December.
The official announcements said
Eisenhower would return to Europe
Nov. 23 after testifying in the capi-
tal and appearing in Boston and Chi-
cago.
But rumors have long been current
that Eisenhower would become Chief
of Staff, and they have been given
credence by the slow exodus of offic-
ers of his command into war de-
partment positions where they could
carry out his policies. It was said
unofficially that Eisenhower would
stay in Europe only a short time
after Nov. 23 to wind up his com-
mand in Germany and Austria.
Japanese bunker. Here he placed
his automatic rifle in a commanding
position while under heavy fire and
killed approximately 40 Japanese
troops."
"I didn't know I was going to get
five points for killing those Japs," the
tall, athletic veteran said. "The au-
tomatic rifle fires clips of 20, and at
50 or a hundred yards its rather hard
to miss."
Receives Highest Award
Although he is receiving the Navy's
highest award, at 10 a.m. today at the
Intramural Building, Youngblood
claims, "I'm prouder of being a mem-
ber of the Second Marine Division
than anything else because they were
such a good fighting outfit." For ac-
tion with the Second Division he is
also entitled to wear the Presidential
Unit Citation.
A veteran of 18 months of duty
overseas, Youngblood enlisted Feb.
19, 1943, because "I admired the Ma-
rine Corps and wished to become a
part of it."
Native of Michigan
Youngblood, who was born in
Rochester, Mich., attended Alma Col-
lege for half a term before his en-
listmerit and also worked as a
butcher. He expects to study for a
degree in the University Law School
and then go into the State Depart-
ment "after little experience practic-
ing law."
The citation states that PFC
Youngblood's personal initiative and
daring contributed immensely to
halting and destroying a group of
enemy forces who were attempting to
reach a regimental command post.
His relentless fighting spirit and
courageous devotion to duty were in
keeping with the highest traditions
of the United States Naval Service.''
However, Youngblood claims, "There
were plenty of guys who have done as
much and more-and I just happened
to be noticed."

The University personnel office an-
nounced yesterday that it will wel-

who are seeking positions.

Still Halte d
500 Workers Continue
Strike in Hoover Plant
Production at the Hoover Ball &
Bearing Co. remained shutdown to-
day, while members of striking Lo-
cal No. 38, UAW-CIO picketed the
plant on a round-the-clock shift.
With more than 500 employes re-
maining away from work, the dispute
over wages, contract, working condi-
tions and hours did not move towards
settlement. Neither company officials
nor union officers had taken any
steps towards negotiation.
Long Siege
While company officials refused to
make any statements, Joseph Clishan,
union chairman, said, "We can keep
this up indefinitely. The next move
is up to the company. We can keep
this up for three, four or five months
if necessary. Meanwhile, our strike is
complete. Nobody is going to work in
the plant. Production is at a stand-
still."
Pickets patrolled the plant grounds
to see that nobody would enter. The
few non-union employes were advised
not to break through the picket lines.
Terms Stated
Office workers remained at work
despite the strike. The office force
are not union workers.
With the reduction of war-time
take-home paychecks, the union is
asking for a 30 per cent wage increase
and a closed shop. They also are
dickering for vacation and smoking
privileges.
320 Mien Sign
For Rushing
Approximately 320 students have
registered for rushing with the Inter-
fraternity Council, according to Do-
gan Arthur, IFC president.
The 189 students on the first rush-
ing list may not be pledged before
November 21, since IFC regulations
state that no student may be pledged
until two weeks have elapsed from
the date of official registration. The
second rushing list, containing 124
names, will be mailed to fraternity
presidents at the beginning of next
week.
Meanwhile registration continues to
take place at the IFC office. Reg-
istration will continue throughout the
semester and while registration in-
volves no obligation to the student,
no fraternity may rush or pledge a
man until he has registered with the
Interfraternity Council.
The election for president and sec-
retary has been set for Thursday with
fraternity house presidents making
the final selection. Candidates for
these offices must submit petitions to
the IFC office before Wednesday. The
executive committee of the IFC will
meet Thursday afternoon to narrow
the list of candidates to three stu-
dents for both positions.
No petitions for either office have
been received as yet, according to
Arthur.
Those students elected will hold
office for two terms.

Game on Grid Graph
The first Grid Shuffle of the fall
term will be staged from 2 to 5 p. m.
today in the Rainbow Room of the
Union.
Dancing to the latest phonograph
records will highlight the afternoon's
entertainment, as couples visually
follow the progress of the Michigan-
Navy game at Baltimore on the spe-
cially-constructed Grid Graph.
Progress Recorded
The. Grid Graph is a large board
marked off to indicate the yard mark-
ers on the gridiron. The progress
of the ball toward the enemy goal will
be marked in colored chalk, yellow
for Michigan, blue for Navy.
The down and the minutes left in
each quarter will be indicated on the
Graph. Whenever either team reaches
scoring territory, the music will be
stopped and the radio turned up so
that all the couples can hear the
account of the game.
Students may come with or without
dates, and there will be no admission
charge.
Crowds Expected
Union dances on the weekends of
football games will be open to the
public, but after 500 tickets have been
sold on a single night, persons pur-
chasing tickets will be informed of
the size of the crowd in the ballroom.
After the close of the football sea-
son, Union dances will be open only to
Unionmembers. Crowds are then
expected to be much smaller.

VE TERANS' VILLA GE SET UP:
Willow Run War Housing Transplanted
<v>
By LOIS IVERSON
The skeptics who frowned last sum-
mer on University plans to move du-
plex houses here were wrong again!
Veterans' Village, a temporary
housing project moved ftom Willow
Run Village to Ann Arbor to combat
the local housing shortage, is provid-
ing real homes for 76 World War II
vets and their families.
The houses were "transplanted"
from Willow Run in October. A
complete unit is approximately 16x
20 feet with the individual apart-
ments just 8 x 20 feet.
Apartments are one room but have
draperies to separate the "bedroom"
former Marine captain now in Law
School, graduated from the University
in 1941.
The Tobins have worked out some
of their own 1945 improvements.
They have no alarm clock so their
next-door neighbor merely knocks on
the adjoining wall each morning at
the proper hour. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Tobin feel that they now have their
own home.
Many families living in Veterans'
Village have children. Mrs. Don
Chamberlain, who has an eight-
month-old daughter Donna, said,
"Compared with the unfurnished
two-room apartment we were going
aged to get the water stopped and
everything under control.
"We laughed it off because the
floor had to be scrubbed anyhow,"
Mrs. Edmunds said. She is amazed
with the compactness of the apart-
ment and the convenient places to
put everything. A graduate of
William and Mary College, Mrs.
Edmunds is taking 8 credit hours
toward her masters degree while
her husband, overseas 23 months as
a first lieutenant in the Air Corps,
is enrolled in the Engineering Col-
lege.
