Questioned concerning the col- lege's prospective enrollment for next fall, Dean Keniston said the total figure will probably be above 7,00. Nearly 6,000 students are enrolled in the college this semester. He said that efforts are being made to hold the enrollment down because President Signs Stop-Gap Draft Bill Banning Teen-Age Induction; New Plan Extends Wheat Slash are handicaps to the spread of cul- tures. "It is no impossibility," he con- cluded, "for a universal culture pat- tern to bring a general fellowship of *man." FBI Agent Reports On Juvenile Crine More persons aged 17 are arrested than any other age group, R. A. Guerin, special agent in charge of the Detroit office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said yester- day. Guerin outlined the community's responsibility to juvenile delinquents as either potential criminals or po- tential citizens. The opportunities for private- citizens and organizations to as- sist in solving the problem of youth- ful crime as cited by Guerin were: eXemplary leadership, dis- cretion In daily living to eliminate temptaition and direct participa- tion in youth work ,as part of a community, school or church pro- gram. "In the home or through some community service," Guerin said, "there must be an opportunity for youth to satisfy the basic desires of life, namely, the desires for new ex- perience, recognition, response and security. Several causes which appear with regularity during investigations to deterniine why youngsters become de- linquent were pointed out by the speaker. Among them were: broken homes, neglectful parents, emotional instability, lack of discipline, un- wholesome neighborhood influences, straitenend financial circumstances. * * Institute Talks Continue T oday Huntley Will Discuss Japan and China" Today's session of the Adult Edu- cation Institute, which continues through tomorow afternoon in the Lecture Hall of the Rackham Build- ing, will begin at 9 a.m, with a speech on "Japan and China" by Prof. Frank L. Huntley of the English department. At 10 a.m. Prof. Theodore Newcomb of the sociology department will speak on "Hopes and Fears in World Public Opinion," and Mrs. Belle F. Murray, lecturer and consultant in; family relations for the University1 Extension Service, will discuss "Par- ental Responsibility."] This afternoon's lectures include "The New Physics," by Prof. Ernest1 Barker, chairman of the Departmenta of Physics, and a discussion of Latin] America, by Prof. Sandford A. Mosk of the economics department. Tomorow's program will include a discussion of the present situation in Germany, by Prof. Benjamin Wheeler of the history department, at 9 a.m: "The Techniques of Understanding," by Prof. Norman Maier of the psy- chology department, at 10 a.m.; "Re- ligion in the Home," by Mrs. Arthur Evans of Lansing, director of the Christian Family Department of thei Michigan Council of Churches and Christian Education, at 11 a.m.; "Thec New Chemistry," by Prof. Lawrence Brockway of the chemistry depart- ment; and "The Foreign Policy of the As a result of the war emergency, Dean Furstenberg said, consultation between the various research groups became more closely coordinated leading to exchange of vital informa- tion and cooperation on new re- searching methods. Briefly mentioned was the discov- cery of penicillin by Sir Alexander Fleming. "The effect of penicillin on meningitis is phenomenal," Dean Furstenberg said, adding that it is of great value in the treatment of syphillis and gonorrhea. Another wonder drug which made its appearance during the war is streptomycin, he said, Prepared in a manner similar to that of penicillin, streptomycin was first used to cure tularemia, more commonly known as rabbit fever, and as a benefit to undulent fever. Results of tests show that it may be of great help with tuberculosis in the near future, he added. Soviet inflience Too Great for Diplomacy Asserting that Russian influence in the zones now occupied by lied troops has always been colassal, Prof. Andrev Lobanov-Rostovsky of the history department told the Adult Education Institute yesterday that "no diplomatic pressure" will force them out. Prof. Lobanov-Rostovsky pre- dicted that the Russians will pro- tiably go no further than the zones already occupied. Calling attention to indications that Communism is no longer so violently in effect within Russia, he said that Com- munism wil arise independently of Russia in France, Italy, and like areas. "Communism breeds in misery," he said, "In Europe today there are cross- cuiirrents," pro-Communist and anti- Communist, he said. 'There is danger that this situation may lead to anar- chy, Prof. Lobanov-Rostovsky stated, Pointing to the distinctio~n be- tween the 1918-type Communism rising in the West and the version of Communism in Russia today, he said that the antidote to Communism is "stability, order and peace." Parking Meter Induce Bedlam It was like old home week on State St. yesterday for students from the big cities. It couldn't have been noisier on Madison Avenue, one woman student was heard to say, as city police and their helpers drowned out the sound of everything else with power drills, preparing to install the city's new parking meters. DEAN HAYWARD KENISTON ... Reveals Admissions Policy of continuing faculty, classroom and laboratory shortages. He added: "Some students will not be able to take all the courses - particularly in the sciences - that they would like to take," Reierating his earlier prediction that the University "will continue to be crowded for many years to come," Dean Heniston reported that the Veterans Administration an- ticipates that the peak college en- rollment will not he reached until 1949. "And all this," he pointed out, "does not take into consideration the new enrollment demands which will arise if the drafting of 'teen age youths is discontinued." Praising the performance of vet- eran students, Dean Keniston de- clared that "the question of ade- quate maturity and motivation of college students is coming to the fore because veterans, who posses both, are making such excellent records." He reported that veterans "here and elsewhere" are doing better col- lege work now than they did before the war, and added: "Perhaps we should conclude that a great many high school students would profit from staying out of school for a year or two before en- tering college." Cortright May Receive Retrial A recommendation that Richard Cortright be given another trial for alleged voting illegalities in the re- cent Student Congress election was approved last night by the executive cabinet of the Congress. Cortright was disqualified as a member of the Congress by the Men's Judiciary Council last Thursday, fol- lowing an investigation questioning his alleged use of2 other students' identification cards in the election. After hearing charges by Roy D. Boucher, 47L, that the trial was un- fair, the Cabinet voted to recommend that the Congress conduct another trial. I),og rantIWill Be Louitted For 13 1 2Months Less Wheat for Meat, Bread; None for Beer By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 14-The gov- ernment announced today a wheat program that will mean continued skimping on bread, meat, beer and whiskey for the next 13%12 months to help feed hungry people abroad. Furthermore, the bread will con- tinue to be "dark" and it may come in smaller loaves. Curbs Continue Previously the government had hoped to lift the restrictions on wheat, flour, etc., this summer after the 1946 wheat crop is harvested. To- day's announcement means that the curbs will not be abolished before the summer of 1947, unless there is another change in the situation. Secretary of Agriculture Anderson said the plan might be changed later. But at the moment, he said, it "is regarded as necessary to insure the most effective distribution and use of the 1946 crop, in meeting both domestic and foreign needs." Will Provide Less Wheat The way it sizes up, the program will provide considerably less wheat for food for the American dinner table during the 12 months beginning July 1, 1946, as compared with the year that began July 1, 1945. It will provide about half as much wheat for feeding to livestock - that means less meat - and none at all for brew- ing and distilling. Officials have said that heavy feed- ing of wheat to stock was chiefly re- sponsible for bringing on an acute shortage of the grain. Exports To Drop Even with the slashes in domestic consumption, Anderson figured that exports of wheat to famine areas will drop from around 400,000,000 to 250,- 000,000 bushels. To make sure of getting the 250,- 000,000, the government will requisi- tion a fourth of all the wheat that producers deliver to elevators or com- mercial buyers. When the new con- trol will go into effect has not been decided. 5~oror~Ites Unite linFamineD a Five Cooperatives Supporting Program Every sorority house on campus observed famine-day yesterday, ac- cording to a report which was made at a meeting of the Famine Commit- tee steering committee. In addition to the 18 sororities, all five cooperative houses and six fra- ternity houses followed famine-day diets. Owens Cooperative House re- ported that it is putting its savings from food purchases on famine-day into a fund which it will turn over to a campus relief drive which is being planned by Michigan Chris- tian Fellowship. Victor Baum and Karl Kaufman were named to represent the Famine Committee on the newly-organized local Famine Emergency Committee with which the campus group will coordinate its activities. A general meeting of all delegates to the Famine Committee will be held at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in Lane Hall. Bruce Cooke, committee chair- man, has asked that all residences, guilds, and other interested groups have representatives at the meeting. 4eAK . :>..w .dv.""..".1.^SY..t" .. ,.. .." . .'. ."."."w" .u.)v"""""" " "LwV4 G . 1 TOP ALLIED COMMANDERS TOGETHER-Gen.

WORLD NEWS ROUND-UP: Rail Men Resume Negotiations Atruman1's Personal Request WASHINGTON, May 14-(1--In an effort to avert a tie-up of the nation's railroads schedule to begin Saturday, President Truman today intervened personally and got both sides to resume negotiations. The action did not mean that 250,000 trainmen and engineers had abandoned their plans to walk out this week-end but it did revive officials' hopes that a settlement would be reached before then. iyrnes Proposes Conference Adjorn®..., PARIS, May 14-P)-U.

Measure Will Extend Draft For 45 Days Truman Accepts Six Hours Before Deadline By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 14-President Truman affixed a reluctant signature tonight to a stop-gap bill extending the draft until July 1 but banning the induction of fathers and youths 18 and 19 years old. Confronted with the alternatives of accepting the amendments or let- ting the whole war time selective service law expire at midnight, the President chose "the lesser of two evils," as'his secretary put it. A 'Bad Bill' The secretary, Charles G. Ross, told reporters that th President regard- Ad it as a "bad bill." It was passed because the two houses of congress were unable to get together in time )n a longer extension. Less than six hours before the mid- night deadline, the Senate agreed to the House restrictions on inductions, and Senate secretary Leslie Biffle sped the measure to the White House. There Secretary Ross informed newsmen: "The President doesn't like it at all, but feels, as some of his officials do, that it will be better to sign it than have confusion that will result from failure to continue a legislative sup- port for armed force inductions." Teen-Age Draft Halted Selective Service announced that its present ban on the induction of men 26 and over will be continued, despite the fact that the act as re- newed permits the drafting of men through age 29. In a telegram to state draft direc- tors the agency also formally halted the induction of 'teen age youths. It said, however, that men 18 and 19 still will be required to register. Kaplan Eplaints Move Toward Reconstrction The purpose of the Reconstruc- tionist Movement is "to give Jews courage to live as Jews" by teaching Ahem "to want and welcome one another," Dr. Mordecai Kaplan, founder of the movement, explained in a talk here last night. "It has never been so hard to be a Jew as it is today," he said. How- ever, Dr. Kaplan pointed out that "It has never been so hard to be human as it is today." Effects of Nationalism After a historical description of the factors contributing to the present situation of world Jewery, Dr. Kap- lan said that since modern competi- tive, geographic nationalism has made it impossible for Jews to live in Eur- ope, all who are not prejudiced by wishful thinking must see that the only salvation for Europe's Jews is exodus." This exodus, he continued, must be chiefly to Palestine which must be a Jewish homeland. Although nationalism in this coun- try is of a different nature, in his opinion, and has not produced results as drastic for Jews as in Europe, Dr. Kaplan said that it has resulted in making Jews afraid to be Jews, to deprive them of economic security and to give them a feeling of not- wantedness. Self-Emancipation from Fears "We must emancipate ourselves from those fears," he said. The Re- constructionist program aims to do this by providing new conditions pre- requisite to maintenance of Jewish "peoplehood, way-of-life, and relig- ion." Dr. Kaplan's talk was presented under the auspices of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation, the local B'nai B'rith lodge and the Student Relig- ious Association.
