LVI, No. 101 ANIN AR1P.OeK, YiC1Ii&CAN, ~VI~~i~< ~tt ;) !4 PRICE FIVE CENTS Overcrowded Colleges May Be Relieved Discussion To Be Held Here in April A 14-member committee will meet here April 25 to discuss plans for di- recting high school seniors to Michi- gan's less-crowded colleges, Dr. George E. Carrothers, director of the University's Bureau of Cooperation with Educational Institutions, an- nounced yesterday. The committee, of which Dr. Car- rothers is chairman, will be com- posed of seven members each of the Michigan High School Association and the Michigan College Associa- tion. The committee will consider what high schools can do to persuade grad- uating seniors not to enter the state's over-crowded institutions, particu- larly the University, Michigan State College and Wayne University, Dr. Carrothers said. According to Dr. Carrothers, any policies formulated by the commit- tee in its meeting here and by the MCA meeting in Ypsilanti May 7 will be compulsory only to the extent that the over-crowded schools limit new- student admissions. Contractors To Construct 247 New Houses Building on 247 new single-family houses in AnnArbor and viciity will begin during the next year, accord- ing to estimates of four local con- tractors representing 20 per cent of those contacted in the Mayor's Hous- ing Survey, Mayor William E. Brown Jr. said yesterday. The estimates apply only to these firms, and were given with the under- standing that they are not to be con- sidered committments. Forty-seven of the new houses will be just outside the city limits. Results of the survey will be inte- grated with results of 813 interviews with veterans conducted through the local draft boards to determine hous- ing needs. Sixteen veterans reported "poor" housing, the mayor said. Housing facilities were rated satis- factory, fair, semi-satisfactory, and poor. Emphasizing the value of the sur- vey in preparing a systematic study of city housing needs, the mayor urged those contractors who have not yet replied to do so. Senio .

Coupled with the development of denatured plutonium, Prof. Barker remarked that "this makes the whole situation look much more promising." He predicted a boost for unrestrict- ed researcl if the control arrange- ments prove satisfactory. There will be a demand for the materials from all sides, he said.

Prospects of Avoiding Coal Strike Wane WASHINGTON, March 29-(G)- Prospects for averting a nationwide soft coal strike Monday dimmed to the vanishing point today, amid indi- cations of increasing bitterness be- tween John L. Lewis and industry re- presentatives. The UMW chief has ordered his 400,000 bituminous miners to stay out of the pits after 12:01 a.m. Monday, and the national coal association, in a statement, declared today that "there is no present prospect of any agreement" which might avert the coal stoppage. The trade organization's statement, issued by John D. Battles, executive secretary, accused Lewis of stalling and "collective bargaining in name only." It was reported that Lewis had made a bitterly-worded reply at to- day's negotiating conference. After the meeting, which recessed until tomorrow, Lewis refused to dis- cuss the nature of his remarks, but told newsmen the operators might furnish the information. However, the industry negotiators likewise re- fused to discuss any details of today's meeting. Better Train Service Sought Aiming at better train service for the city, Mayor W. E.

It uiiiidai it Charged in CIO Elections Thiotas Accuses Outside Interests By The Associated Press ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., March 29--A charge that "gangsters and hoodlums" were trying to influence CIO United Auto Workers' elections was made today by former president R. J. Thomas. An investigation was authorized after Thomas told the UAW-CIO convention that lives were "jeopard- ized" in an effort of outside interests to "pressure" certain delegates. Thomas' statement marked a day in which the UAW-CIO finally com- pleted the organization of its new high command, in which Reuther is outnumbered politically, and reject- ed a proposal to increase officers' sal- aries. Richard T. Leonard, Detroit re- gional director and head of the UAW Ford department, was elected to the second of the Vice Presidencies, giv- ing the Thomas forces a 3 to 1 edge in the top offices. " * * Reuther Affirms Faith in 'Ablity To'Pay' Rude ATLANTIC CITY, Mar. 29-P)- Walter Reuther has no intention of dropping the "ability to pay" argu- ment in future wage negotiations. The new president of the CIO United Auto Workers made this clear in an interview today. During his campaign for the UAW leadership this week, Reuther aroused nationwide interest when he said his demand to "look at the books" of General Motors had been "injected merely as a part of our maneuvers." Nevertheless he showed in replying to questions today that he still is convinced it is a sound economic argument to seek higher wages from some companies on the ground that the companies can afford to pay them. Reuther also reiterated his deter- mination to work for wage increases without price increases wherever pos- sible but said the union had no in- tention of trying to participate dir- ectly in the setting of automobile prices. Rider Added ToWage Bill Farm Pries Ra ised Veto Threat ignored WASHINGTON, March 29-(P)-~~ Disregarding a presidential veto threat, the Senate wrote into the Minimum Wage Bill today an Amend- ment designed to raise farm prices by revising the crop parity price for- mula. The amendment, pushed through by a group of Southern Democrats with Republican aid, carried 43 to 41. The roll was called shortly after Majority Leader Barkley told the Senators President Truman had ad- vised him he would be "compelled" to veto the bill if it came to him bear- ing the farm price rider. Senator Russell (D-Ga) attacked the White House move as an attempt at "coercion and intimidation." He declared the President had "no" right to come into Congress with a threat to veto." The amendment, sponsored by Senator Russell would revise the farm crop parity formula by including the cost of farm labor in the computa- tion. Change of Site for Marriage Relation Ser ies Termed Impractical, Impossible Leclares Can't Be Moved-- In answer to demands that the marriage relation lecture series be moved from Rackham Lecture Hall to Hill Auditorium so that more stu- dents could attend, W. Lloyd Ber- ridge, chairman of the faculty- student committee in charge of ar- rangements, said that it would be "impractical and probably impos sible" to make the change. Speakers Prefer Small Groups Berridge explained that Hill Audi- torium was "too large and formal a place" for this type of lecture, and that speakers in previous marriage series had preferred to talk to smal- ler groups. He also pointed to the difficulties of making arrangements to hold the series at Hill Auditorium "at this late date" and questioned whether more than 500 or 600 more tickets could be sold even if the change were made. Hill Auditorium seats approxi- mately 4,700, while Rackham Lee- ture Hall seats approximately 1,200 peopale. Seond series Impossile A second series this term, or lec- tures on two nights instead of one, would be impossible to arrange, he said, because the speakers' schedules are already filled. The next series will probably be given next November. Berridge emphasized that he was speaking for himself only, and not for other members of the committee, The committee, which has not met since the ticket sale, has the power to vote the change. Student members of the committee Stasse n Will Head New GOP Poo icy.Group WASHINGTON, March 29-(IP)- Harold E. Stassen, one of those often mentioned as a 1948 Republican presidential aspirant, announced to- night a new national organization to develop suggestions from young Republicans for Party policy.

Stassen will be Chairman of the Advisory Committee of the Policy- Suggesting Organization, to be known as "the Republican Open Forums." Several governors, senators, and re- presentatives will be members of the committee.

SALTY: Man of Action Converted to Mr. Anthony By BETTYANN LARSEN Every sailor needs a "salty ad- visor," and each of the 3,000 sailors, who have gone through the Univer- sity's Naval Training Program has found that advisor in Frank Joly (pronounced jolly). If "salty" is a title received for sev- eral years of active duty, Joly quali- fies in that his first contact with the Navy came in 1911 when he was 17. Enlisting at New York near his Rhode Island home, Joly trained at Great Lakes before going on duty in the China area-specifically the Yangtze River patrol. Oriental Adventure It was during his tour of duty in China that his ship encountered rather serious difficulty when fed- eral and rebel troops were en- trenched at either side of the river in which his ship was anchored. Be- cause fire was overshooting respec- tive targets, one of the belligerents sent a message to the American cap- tain saying, "Please move your ship. We'd like to lower our fire." They moved. After China he cane back to the States as a Chief Quartermaster. It is here that he put three mine sweep- ers into commission-one was the U.S.S. Bittern, which was sunk be- hind Corregidor to prevent the enemy from using it. As chief quartermaster on Guam, his duties included the surveying of the harbor's caring for the governor's charts-and establishing such serv- ice departments as harbor shops and the island baseball team. Joly was shortstop. Weather Man Before he participated in the es- tablishment of the University NROTC Unit in 1940, Joly served as hydrographer at Sault Ste. Marie, where his duties included contacting all lake captains concerning weather and river reports. Before Capt. R. E.
