Strike May Cut Sugar
Output by 70 Per Cent
Unions Willing To Arbitrate Demands;
Labor Officials Try To Avert Shutdown
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 9-A strike
which would cut off 70 per cent of
the nation's output of cane sugar was
called today by CIO and AFL unions,
effective Saturday midnight.
Seven refineries in four Atlantic
coast cities are involved.
The unions said in a statement
that they had reached a deadlock in
bargaining with the operating com-
panies, but were still willing to ar-

weight of the women was 100 pounds,
and of the men, 120 pounds. One or
two died each day from starvation.
"When Red Cross shipments ar-
rived, and when they were not used
by Jap army oficers as was the case
with a large shipment in 1944, we
were sent to the piers to get them.
"Only one shipment of parcel post
packages ever reached the camp, and
I received only six or seven letters
during the three years," he said.
"We were allowed to send one Pri-
soner of War card a month. Besides
a printed form which announced, 'I
am in good, fair or poor health', we
were permitted to write 24 words on
the card.
"Of course, they took a long time
to reach this country, if they ever did.
In fact, I mailed a card to my family
in St. Louis, Mich., in June, 1944,
and in June, 1945, a month after I
arrived home, I took the card from
the mailbox myself."
The American Army took posses-
sion of Santo Tomas on Feb. 3, 1945,
and the first families who had been
in the camp returned to the United
States in March,Dr. Brown stated.
"I had to find my family, from whom
I hadn't heard in nine months," he
said. "They were with my wife's par-
ents, who were still behind the Jap
lines. We were able to leave in April,
1945, and reached the states in May."
Dr. Brown, who received his Ph.D.
in biological chemistry from the Uni-
versity in 1937 and left immediately
afterward for the islands, plans to
return to Manila with his family as
soon as possible.

dent students is no part of this limit-
ing procedure. It was not designed
for that purpose, and it is hoped that
it will not have that effect. The in-
crease in fees was based upon finan-
cial considerations alone.
The costs of operating the Univer-
sity have increased markedly since
the years of depression economy be-
fore the war. Larger financial sup-
port will be necessary from the State.
It is reasonable to expect that non-
resident students will bear their ap-
propriate share of the cost of opera-
tion. This increase in fees is de-
signed to establish a more satisfac-
tory balance between income from
non-resident students and appropri-
ations from the State.
I call attention to the fact that
there is no logical relationship be-
tween resident fees and non-resident
fees. They are predicated on two
separate and distinct principles. Resi-
dent fees are charged residents of the
State, which provides the major sup-
port of the University through legis-
lative appropriation.
These fees are established at a
point at which, all things considered,
it seems wise to divide the cost of edu-
cation of resident students between
fees paid by the students themselves
and appropriations from the State.
There is no attempt to make such fees
representative of cost. This is inher-
ent in the structure of a state univer-
sity. Non-resident fees, on the other
hand, must necessarily be established
with some reasonable reference to the'
cost of education.
It is important to note that, even
with this increase in fees, most of
our non-resident students will still
be paying fees at the University of
Michigan considerably lower than
those in effect in the privately en-
dowed institutions in the states in
which they live.
bitrate their wage demands. Depart-
ment of Labor officials continued
their efforts, started last Friday, to
avert the threatened shutdown.
Demand 18 Cents
The unions, asserting that the
companies have declined to accept as
binding recommendations of a Labor
Department fact-finding panel, said
they are demanding an hourly wage
increase of 8?/ cents, against an
earliersrequest for 15 cents. The com-
panies, they said, had offered 13 cents
at some plants and lesser amounts at
others.
There was no comment from re-
presentatives of the companies. They
are The American Suger Refining
Company, with plants at Boston and
Baltimore; The National Sugar Re-
fining Company, New York and Phil-
adelphia; W. J. McCann Company
and Franklin Sugar Refining Com-
pany, American Company Subsidi-
aries, Philadelphia, and the Revere
Sugar Refining Company, Boston.
The unions said more than 8,000
workers would be involved in the
walkout.
Admit Procedure
The companies have agreed to ac-
cept a fact-finding procedure forj
settlement of wage differences, but
have declined to commit themselves
to the acceptance of any fact-finding
recomendations.
The original strike notice called
for a walkout last Saturday mid-
night. The unions held off, at the
request of the Labor Department, to
permit the present negotiations.
Get Acquainted,
Edmonson Says
Talk to Professors,
Future Teachers Told
Students don't give their profes-
Iors a chance to know them, declared
Dean J. B. Edmonson of the School
of Education yesterday in an infor-
mal talk with prospective teachers,
in Mason Hall.
"Get acquainted with your profes-
sors," he urged. "Talk to them, let
them know who you are, and take an
active interest in your work so they
will remember you when you want
recommendations." Dean Edmonson
declared that professors get a great
satisfaction out of helping students
but often are unable to do so because
they don't know them well enough.
Interviews with possible future em-
ployers are valuable, he added, be-
cause too many people are inexperi-
enced in the art of "selling them-
selves, getting other people interested
in their qualifications." Dean Edmon-
son reminded the group that they
will carry great prestige as univer-
sity graduates and that as such, they
are tremendously important to the
university.
T. Luther Purdom, director of the
Bureau of Appointments and Occu-
pational Information, asked that
graduates keep their Bureau records
up to date, since teachers may be hir-
ed merely on the basis of those re-
cords. Information about teaching
certificates and facts on teacher
training will be presented at the
Schoolmaster's Club meeting April
2, he announced. Certificate re-
quirements of other states are avail-
able at the School of Education.
Dr. Beckett Gets
U' Hospital Post
Dr. Morley B. Beckett has been ap-
pointed assistant medical director of
the University Hospital, effective
Monday, it was announced yester-
day by Hospital Director Albert C.
Kerilkowske.
Dr. Beckett is the second ap-
pointee to the post of assistant medi-
cal director at the Hospital. He was
discharged three months ago, with
the rank of lieutenant colonel.
He has served in various positions
in the health departments at Sagi-
naw, Mt. Pleasant, the Michigan
State Department of Health, and as
director of Kellogg Foundation activ-
ities in Allegan County.
LCaretaker s Home
Destroyed By Fire
A fire of unknown origin yesterday
swept a barn in the rear of the Ferry
Field home formerly occupied by Lo-
renzo D. Thomas, late caretaker of
the Field.
The barn, which contained equip-
ment for the maintenance of the
grounds, was gutted by the half-hour
blaze. A strong wind blowing away
from the house prevented the fire
from spreading.
Japan's Voters
Turn Out for
Freest Election
Observers Predict
Conservative Victory
TOKYO, Wednesday, April 10-'P)
-Japan's voters turned out today for
their freest election in history toshow
the world what they have learned of
western democracy.
Forecasts of a conservative victory
were made by Japanese political ex-
perts, who agreed a conservative cur-
rent was running strong in this first
post-war election at which 468 mem-
bers of the House of Representatives
will be picked from 2,800 candidates.
Liberal-Progressive Majority
They predicted that the Liberals
and Progressives-conservative de-
despite their labels-would win a
majority of seatsbetween them,nbut
that no single party was expected to
dominate the next House.
They likewise predicted that less
than three-fourths of the 36,000,000
eligible voters would cast ballots.
They said this was due mainly to the
people's preoccupation with finding
enough to eat.
The government, urging the peo-
ple to exercise their franchise, de-
clared today a holiday to give every-
one a chance to vote.
Results Tomorrow
Polls were open between 7 a.m. and
6 p.m. First results were expected to
be available by late tomorrow, and
the city vote should be pretty well
tabulated by Friday.
Much of the seeming lack of en-
thusiasm was blamed on the cynicism
of the people, many of whom believe
they are in for the same old rule de-
spite the vast changes wrought by
seven months of occupation.
There are a number of factors
whichrmakerthis Japan's freest elec-
tion.
Approximately 21,000,000 women
have been granted the right to vote
for the first time. And nine of 81
women candidates were accorded by
the newspaper Asahi a chance to be
elected to the Diet.
First Female Vote
Political observers said, however,
that three-fourths of the women
probably would not go to the polls
and their vote was expected to have
little effect on the results.
Government officials said they ex-
pected little violence, despite a brief
flare-up at PremierShidehara's of-
ficial residence Sunday when left-
wing demonstrations clashed with
police while demanding the resigna-
tion of the Cabinet.
The next Diet, from which a new
government will be organized, will be
saddled with the immense task of
adopting a democratic constitution
for Japan.

the legal status of the dischargee and
assured him of protection of his

Current Events?
Do these sound familiar? Do they
pertain to some phase of the recent
World War II? And are they written
in blue ink or typed on a red-labelled
V-mail letter or standard office
bond?
Much to the contrary, the 'letter'
and the 'record' were both composed
over seventeen hundred years ago.
Long sheets of papyrus and a primi-
tive reed pen with lampblack as ink
were the writers' tools; with them
they produced documents that have
outlasted in legibility even the be-
ribboned bundle of letters that one's
grandparents stored in their attics.
Discovered during the University's
Egyptian excavations at Karanis, the
seat of a Roman garrison during the
beginning of the Christian era, these
papyri form part of a collection now
being exhibited at the newly reopened
Museum of Art and Archaeology.
On Special Duty
Like small versions of today's mili-
tary records, a fragment listing a de-
tachment of soldiers of the Roman
army subject to special duty is also
included in the exhibit. Another gives
a group of decurions or subordinate
officers, not only by names but also
by dates of enlistment and of promo-
tion, in Greek as well as in Roman.
Of greater interest to the person
not versed in classical language are
other letters (with translations) writ-
ten to and from men in the service of
the Roman army. Though they be
brief and formal, they give the reader
a fleeting picture of military life and
of personalities that existed nearly
two thousand years ago.
