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. Campus Charity Drive Contiues League Will Canvass All 'U' Residence Halls A systematic canvas of all Univer- sity residence halls for contributions to the Ann Arbor Community Chest Drive will open Monday noon, Prof. Harold 'M. Dorr, chairman of the drive's campus division, declared yes- terday. "This will be the last opportunity for everyone to make his contribution to this all-important fund," Prof. Dorr said. Solicitors will continue to seek donations until Tuesday night. Women's residences will be canvassed by League personnel under the direc- tion of Miss Ethyl McCormick, League social director. Solicitors for men's' residences will be furnished by IFC, the Union and Veterans' Organiza- tion, under the direction of Mr. Rob- ert Cross, research associate in the Bureau of Business Research. A tabulation of returns early yes- terday revealed that Ann Arbor is $26,000 short of its $139,000 goal. Donations in the University division totaled $13,209, leaving approximately $12,000 to be solicited. CAMPUS EVENTS Today Grid Shuffle dance with graph following the Navy game from 2 to 5 p. m. in Canadian Prime Minister W. L. Mac- >Kenzie King "in the light, the ter- rible light, of the discovery of atomic energy." 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, they asserted.

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. Michigan ToMeet Strong Navy Squad n Non Big Ten Tilt 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 P SITTING IN QUIET SOLITUDE on a log at Omori Prison Camp, former Jap Premier Hideki Tojo reads as he awaits trial. Omori, former prison for G.

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 'Ike' To Leave .for Washington 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." Jobs At Personnel Office Available To Vets' Wives The University personnel office an- nounced yesterday that it will wel- come inquiries from wives of veterans who are seeking positions. Production 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.

Prior to the draw decision with the Irish, the future Admirals had won five games in as many starts but had not lived up to advance notices in so do- ing.

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. 'U' Regents Petition For Condemnation State Attorney-General John R. Dethmers and attorneys for the Uni- versity Regents petitioned to file con- demnation proceedings in circuit court yesterday for property on the site of the proposed food service building. The proceedings are against Mrs. Isabel Walling, owner of a three- story frame house at 106 Glen Ave. Preliminary hearing for the case will be held Nov. 26 in Washtenaw county circuit court. Five others who owned property in the area have already sold to the University. ienokino Namepi fitaD VE TERANS' VILLA GE SET UP: Willow Run War Housing Transplanted 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.
