Byrnes Flies
To Paris for
Peace Talks
Foreign Miuli ters
To Shape Treaties
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 23-Secre-
tary of State Byrnes took off for the
foreign ministers conference at Paris
today on a peace mission so critical
that he suggested to newsmen he was
"standing in the need of prayer."
Byrnes was scheduled to arrive at
Paris about noon Paris time and meet
with foreign ministers Molotov of
Russia, Bevin of Britain and Bidault
of France on Thursday. The pur-
pose of the meeting is to try to break
the Big Four deadlock over making
peace treaties with Italy, the Balkan
states and Finland in order to speed
removal of occupation forces from
all those countries and bring a real
atmosphere of peace to Europe.
Unity At Stake
Beyond that, at least some of
Byrnes' advisers think, the unity of
the great powers in peacetime is at
stake, for if they cannot jointly work
out peace treaties, they may have to
tackle the problem on some sort of
separate basis. This in turn might
upset such harmony as they have
thus far been able to generate within
the United Nations.
Byrnes is known to feel that
chances for breaking the deadlock are
slender depending chiefly on Russia's
willingness to make major conces-
sions on her ambitions in the Medi-
terranean area.
Iran Censorship Affirmed
One of the department's last ac-
tions before the secretary took off
was to disclose that it has received
official confirmation from Prime
Minister Ahmed Qavam, of Iran, that
the Tehran government has invoked
its rights of censorship of outgoing
news under a 1932 Madrid treaty,,
but is evidently trying not to make a
drastic application of censorship.
Qavam expressed his views to
American representatives in Tehran1
after United States objections to all;
censorship ad been presented to,
him and he had been warned that thea
American public would lose confi-
dence in reports which had to pass
censorship-.
Byrnes' Task Complicated;
To the extent that these latest de-
velopments in Iran reflect political
difficulties involving Russia they
complicate Byrnes' task in Paris.
Another issue on which it appears
likely Byrnes will at least approach a
showdown in Paris is that of control
of the Mediterranean. All indica-
tions here are that the United States
will oppose without qualification any
extension of Russian authority which
would seriously menace Britain's
Mediterranean lifelines.

"If ,ya' 'aint got no money, we'll
keep ya' here forever," the pre-

ing signatures on a nominating
petition. Convinced that this ped-
estrian was no ordinary one, the
children offered concessions. They
would let him go if they could sign
too.
They gave up their guns fot col-

Three Local
Candidates File
For Congress
Saari Opposes Kelley
On Demnocratic Ticke,
Four candidates, three of them from
Ann Arbor, filed petitions yesterday
at Lansing for candidacy in the race
for Congressional Representative
from this district.
The two-way struggle for Demo-
cratic nomination will take place
between Wayne Saari and William
R. Kelley. Incumbent Earl C.
Michener will oppose Hentry F.
Vander Velde on the Republican
ticket.
With a three-day period to de-
clare final intention to run, three
of the candidates have already af-
firmed their decision to do so. The
fourth, Saari, indicated last night
that his plans are still in abeyance.
Saari qualified with 950 signatures,
almost double the required number.
He is at present a senior in the liter-
ary college, majoring in political sci-
ence.
Kelley is a graduate of the Univer-
sity and of the Detroit College of Law.
He served five years in the infantry,
two-and-one-half of them overseas.
Stating his intentions of policy, he
declared, "I have the veteran's inter-
est at heart. I know their problems,
having faced them myself. I am anx-
ious to see veterans placed at the
same level on which they would have
been had they not entered the serv-
ice."
Vander Velde, formerly x student
of economics at the University,
turned in approximately 1,200 sig-
natures. In a statement to The
Daily he said, "I wish to thank
those who have made possible this
initial step in my campaign. They
have afforded the entire district, as
well as themselves, the opportunity
to review a variance of opinions
and to make a more knowing
choice."
Michener, a resident of Adrian, was
unavailable for coment last night.
Filing for the June 18 primaries
closed yesterday as election cam-
paigns began to take shape for the
major state offices, according to As-
sociated Press reports.
On the Republican end of the gu-
bernatorial race the issue became
four-sided with Lieut. Gov. Vernon
J. Brown of Mason; Kim Sigler of
Hastings, former Jugham County
Grand juror: Raymond J. Kelly also
of Detroit,. ormer American Legion
coinnmander; anud Mayor Edward J.
Jeftries, also of Detroit entering the
race.
Filing for the Democratic ticket
were former Gov. Murray D. Va"n
Wagoner of Bimingham; William
J. Cody of Highland Park, Wayne
County Circuit Court commission-
er; and George Suhermerhorn of
Reading.
Four Republicans and one Demo-
crat registered their intention to run
for Lieutenant Governor.

nomination on the Republican ticket."

play by the Spartans.
Nussbaumer Doubles
Bob Nussbaumer's double was the
other extra base hit for the Wolver-
ines, while Tom Rosema, Ralph Hous-
er and Bob Chappuis each had two
safeties to their credit.
The Michigan infield performed
brilliantly with each man taking his
share of the glory. Walt Kell made
an impossible diving stop of Robin
Roberts' grounder over the bag,
raised himself to one knee and fired
the ball across the diamond to Tom
Rosema who had to stretch to make
the put out by an eyelash.
Brown and Tomasi excelled as the
keystone combination, Brown accept-
ing five chances and Tomasi six, sev-
eral of which were better than aver-
age plays.

Council's 8-3
Vote Defeats
Compromise
Russia Supported
By Poland, France
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 23-Russia by
an 8-to-3 vote lost a bitter battle to-
day to take the Iranian case off the
United Nations Security Council
agenda and Soviet delegate Andrei
Gromyko thereupon grimly served
notice that he would not discuss Iran
again at a Council meeting.
Climaxing a two-hour session at
which it was obvious to a packed
chamber that a majority wanted .
decision promptly, eight delegates
kept their hands down when the
chairman called for a vote on a,
French compromise proposal to turn
the matter over to the U.N. Secretary
General for a report.
Three Vote Compromise
Russia, who associated itself with
the French proposal in the final con-
fused action, Poland and France were
the only delegates voting for the
compromise.
Russia's original demand, contained
in a letter dated April 6, for elimina-
tion of the Iranian question from
the agenda immediately was not
voted upon. The chairman, Egypt's
Dr. Hafez Afifi Pasha, held that
Gromyko's brief statement in which
he associated himself with the French
proposal made a second vote unnec-
essary.
Decision Contrary to Charter
The Russian delegate made this
statement:
"In view of the agreement reached
between the Soviet government and
the Iranian government on all ques-
tions and in view of the withdrawal
of its appeal to the Security Council
by the Iranian government, the Soviet
delegation considers that the decision
of the Security Council to retain the
Iranian question on its agenda is
contrary to the chartet of the United
Nations."

Foreign Student
Poliey Report
The five University officials who
will attend the conference on foreign
student problems in Chicago April 29
through May 1 have been charged by
President Alexander G. Ruthven to
submit a report concerning possible
policies for this university, according.
to Dr. Esson M. Gale.
Foreign Student Problem
"The president feels that the for-
eign student problem has become im-
possible to control on the university
level," Dr. Gale stated, "and should
be considered as a national problem."
President Ruthven is himself at-
tending a meeting of the Association
of State Universities in Chicago this
week, and will act as chairman of a
panel on foreign student problems.
The conference, Dr. Gale said, will
consider the proposal of Dr. Allen
Blaisdell, foreign student adviser of
the University of California, that a
national organization be established
to study questions of foreign student
admission, allocation and orientation.
Admission Policies
The University delegation, Dr. Gale
said, will bring a number of prob-
lems before the conference. Among
them are the questions of admitting
students from countries not currently
represented, and of granting tuition
scholarships to those students and to
deserving students now enrolled.
The suggestion will be made, Dr.
Gale said, that qusionnaires be sent

SUPREME COURT VACANCY:
Lederle Predicts Democratic Appointment
'
By PHYLLIS KAYE
"The man who fills the vacancy
on the Supreme Court bench resulting
from the death of Republican Chief
Justice Harlan F. Stone will probab-
ly be a Democrat," Prof. John W.
Lederle of 'the political science de-
partment declared yesterday.
Prof. Lederle stated that he
he doesn't think the Democrats
would feel compelled to pick a Re-
publican for this appointment, as
was done in the case of Justice Bur-
ton of Ohio. "There are certainly
enugh anifiedl awvers among the
tice Stone dead, only one New Yorker
remains on the bench and another
may be considered.
"Sen. Robert Wagner has been
mentioned," Prof. Lederle added,
"and because of his recognized lib-
eral views and long service to his
party, he might win the appoint-
ment. Only one objection can be
cited in this conection and that is
Wagner's age. He is 69."
There is no strong precedent for
raising a member of the court to chief
justiceship when that position is
open, he contended, and the immed-
iate preceding chief justices, such as
Hughes and Taft, were not on the
court at the time of their appoint-
ment. However, among those incum-
bents mentioned as possible succes-
sors to Chief Justice Stone are Jus-
tice Robert H. Jackson, Justice Felix
Frankfurter and Justice William 0.
Douglas.
"I think Justice rankfurter's ap-
pointment unlikely because of his
conservative views, Prof. Loderle con-
tended, and President Truman is
more inclined to reward faithtul
