Cramming into every seat in the Ferry Field stands, a record crowd
of nearly 7,000 fans saw the World Champion Detroit Tigers whip the
Michigan baseball nine, 6-1, yesterday in an exhibition contest.
Scoring their lone run in the first inning, the Wolverines looked as if
they might be on the way to upsetting the Bengals, but after being hand-
cuffed by Bliss Bowman's slants for five frames, the Tigers came to life and

City Council
Passes New
TaxiRuling
License Fee Raised;
No Meter Required
Final action was taken last night
by the City Council on the long con-
traversial taxi ordinance when it
voted unanimously to accept the com-
promise version agreed to last week
by the operators.
The new ordinance raises license
fees to 50 dollars but excludes any
reference to installation of taxi met-
ers at the present time. It is the re-
sult of more than four weeks of dis-
cussion on the part of the Ordinance
Committee of the Council and the
operators,
Operators' View
Spokesman for the operators stat-
ed that "as the ordinance stands; the
most disagreeable element in it is
the operating fee boost which brings
Ann Arbor's charge up to that of the
highest charged in any city in the
United States."
The council also adopted the re-
commendation of its Budget Com-
mittee for a $893,080 budget for the
coming fiscal year. Of this amount,
approximately half will be raised
through direct taxation with $401,-
405 left to be raised from other
sources.
On complaint of some of the Coun-
cil members that the present Brown-
out is too brown" the Chief of Police
was directed to make an investigation
and to order the restoration of any
street lights he considered essential
to the safety of the city.
Coal Supply Saving
At present, Mayor Brown reported,
every other street light is turned off,
this securing a net savings of about
one tenth of the available coal sup-
ply.
The Council also adopted a Pen-
sion Plan for all city employees
which will be put to the people for
adoption next November 5.
First steps were taken by the Coun-
cil to begin condemnation procedings
against 15 acres of farm property
immediately adjacent to the city air-
port.

UNRRA RELIEF DRIVE:
Campus Famine Coniittee
To Conduct Fund Collection
By MAL ROEMER
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second
of a series of articles on the world
famine situation and the campus' part
in helping to alleviate the crisis.
The emergency Food Collection
Drive opened its nation-wide cam-
paign May 14 for funds to help
UNRRA buy food to ship abroad to
the starving third of the world's pop-
ulation.
The Famine Committee - the
campus organization which parallels
the national group - will conduct
its Famine Relief Drive fund col-
lection at the University Thursday.
Funds from the campus drive, which
will be run in conjunction with the
local Emergency Food Relief organ-
ization, will be turned over to UNRRA
as part of the student body's con-
tribution to world food relief.
UNRRA Director Fiorello H. La
Guardia has called for cash con-
tributions to his organization, ex-
plaining that wholesale buying and
shipping by UNRRA is a better pro-
cedure than individual donations of
food.
Dean Acheson, acting secretary of
state, has said that the world faces
"five years of famine." The United
States, according to reports from
world-wide surveys of food resources,
must supply the major portion of the
food needed for the basic sustinance
of the 800,000,000 people in famine
areas.
"Our first objective, our greatest
concern, is to use our great power
and resources so that men and civil-
ization will survive," Acheson said.
There are two chief prongs to the
program which will make this pos-
sible.
Contributions to the Famine Relief
Drive will be the means for students
at the University to help' make suf-
ficient funds available for UNRRA
to purchase food to ship abroad. In
order to make food available for
UNRRA to purchase, the nation has
been asked to cut its consumption of
food, especially wheat products.
Food Conservation Essential
"The Famine Committee's pro-
gram of food conservation, which
has been adopted by all University
cooperative houses and active soror-
ities and by six fraternities and sev-
eral dormitories, must be followed
in order to help make food supplies
available," Bruce Cooke, chairman
of the committee, recently said.
Nungester Cites
Bacteria Perils-
A dollar's worth of bacterial war-
fare material will kill thousands more
people than an atomic bomb accord-
ing to Prof. Walter J. Nungester of
the medical school.
A former member of the Bacterial
Warfare Research Staff at Camp
Detrick, Md., Prof. Nungester is at-
tending the forty-sixth general meet-
ing of American Bacteriologists being
held in Detroit this week where some
of the work done at Camp Detrick
will be revealed.
The University has received a go-"
ahead signal from the government
for six of its nine building projects
and construction has started or will
gel under way shortly, Walter M.
Roth, Plant Department superin-
tendent, disclosed yesterday in a
building progress report.
HH priorities for three housing
projects and Civilian Production Ad-
ministration construction permits for
additions to the Chemistry, East En-
gineering and Food Service buildings
have been granted, Roth said.

Student Jury
A six-member student jury last
night returned a verdict favorable
to Richard Cortright, in a special
court authorized by the Student Con-
gress.
Cortright was disqualified as a
member of the Student Congress on
My 9 by the Men's Judiciary Council
for voting with other students' iden-
tification cards.
When the jury's verdict was hand-
ed to presiding judge Prof. John E.
Tracy of the law school, Prof. Tracy
read it to the court and said, "I fear
for the future of student government
when a jury returns a verdict such
as this."
Prof. Tracy charged the jury to
answer three questions concerning
the case. Those questions and the
jurys' decisions are as follows:
1. Was Richard Cortright guilty of
intentional fraud in the election for
members of the Student Congress on
April 30 and May 1, 1946? No . . . 6
2. Was Richard Cortright guilty of
a violation of the rules governing
such election? YES . . . 4; NO . . . 2
3. Do you consider Richard Cort-
right a suitable person to sit as a
member of Student Congress? YES

TU' Doing Best
To Admit All
Vets - - Nich ass
Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss
told The Daily last night that the
"University expects to do its share
in seeing that the number of veter-
ans who can't go to college because
of the housing shortage will be kept
at a minimum."
With University administrators
predicting that more than 17,000 stu-
dents will enroll here during the Fall
Semester, most colleges;have already
reported that they will give enroll-
ment preference to Michigan veter-
ans.
The vice-president's statement fol-
lowed on the heels of a prediction by
Reconversion Director Snyder that
approximately 300,000 veterans will
be unable to attend colleges and uni-
versities for lack of housing and other
facilities.
It is anticipated that federal agen-
cies will continue to help the Uni-
versity meet its housing problem.
State educational officials are pre-
paring a plan for deployment of
veterans to smaller, less-crowded in-
stitutions in Michigan. One of the
major roadblocks of such a plan,
still to be by-passed is that of larger
institutions accepting credits from
the smaller schools.
Vice-President Niehuss said all
Michigan colleges are doing, every-
thing humanly possible to prepare
for record enrollments, so that no
eligible Michigan boy or girl will be
unable to enter college somewhere in
the state.
Garg Petitions Due

Engineering building addition-
work will start as soon as the site
is cleared.
The fall of 1947 has been set as
the tentative occupancy date of the
chemistry and engineering buildings.
Roth said he expected excavation
and construction work on the Food
Service Building to begin in June.
Demolition on the site, on Glen Ave.
between West Huron and Ann streets,
will be completed May 27.
Awaiting Final Permit
Work on the three buildings await-
ing CPA approval has progressed as
follows:
General Service Building-the site
has been cleared, storm sewers re-
routed and orders placed for ma-
terial.
School of Business Administration-
plans for the building are now "in
for a final check," but not all of the
property for the site has been ac-
quired,
Maternity Hospital-studies on the
site and preliminary building plans
are now under way.
Sophs, Seniors
Participate in
Profile Tests
University sophomores and seniors
will compare their academic prowess
with students of 70 American colleges
this week by participating in a na-
tion-wide profile testing program.
Representative colleges all over
America are cooperating with the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching in the two-
year survey to discover educational
"blind spots" among college students,
according to Dr. Robert Travers, as-
sistant director of the project.
Dr. Travers, who came from New
York to observe the testing here, said
that preliminary surveys at a few
of the nation's colleges have indicat-
ed that students show a surprisingly
small amount of progress after their
sophomore year except in their field
of concentration.
Outside their major field, students
have displayed a "very marked" ten-
dency to be stationary in gaining new
information, the Doctor said.
University sophomores will be re-
tested when they are seniors to find
if this lack of growth is general in
the nation's schools, he explained.
Dr. Travers predicted the final re-
port on college students' academic
ability, probably won't appear until
1949, but he said interim reports
would be made available to give the
University an idea where its students
stand in relation to other colleges.

To Give Word
Lewig, Operators Say
Negotiations Are Futile
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 20-Govern-
ment officials appeared convinced to-
day that federal seizure provides the
last hope of keeping the coal mines
operating after Saturday, but they
lacked assurance from John L. Lew-
is that the miners would stay on the
job.
Both Lewis and Charles O'Neill,
chief spokesman for the operators,
have emphasized to President Tru-
man the futility of further negotia-
tions, say officials who cannot be
named.
Believe Seizure Coming
One top government man concern-
ed with labor indicated that he be-
lieved seizure was coming but said
an exact date was not yet decided.
Another agreed he could see no other
alternative open to the government
which could keep the mines open
after the present two week truce- ex-
pires Saturday night.
Lewis, at a conference with Presi-
dent Truman Sunday, was reported
to have informed the President he
lacked authority, without word from
his 250-man policy committee, to
commit the miners to work for the
goverpment.
Negotiate With Lewis
If Lewis and his policy committee
agree to work for the government the
federal officials probably will have
to negotiate the next contract with
Lewis, as former Secretary of Inter-
ior Harold L. Ickes did in 1943 as
Solid Fuels Administrator.
Operators feel, it was reported by
a government official, that they may
have a better chance of getting price
relief for whatever concessions even-
tually are made to Lewis, if the gov-
ernment negotiates the contract.
Some operators estimate that Lew-
is' plan for a management-financed
union health and welfare fund, to-
gether with his wage demands when
he finally outlines them, might add
50 cents to the labor cost of a ton of
coal.

STAFF DOUBLED FOR EFFICIENCY:
Local Veterans Administration Office Enlarged
The Ann Arbor office of the Vet-
erans Administration, which serves
one of the largest concentrations of
veterans in the United States, has re-
cently been enlarged, Robert S. Wal-
drop, Chief of the VA Guidance Cen-
ter, reported yesterday.
The staff, which has more than

leges as well as their obligations.
Most veterans are not aware of
all the advantages they can ob-

an laws and are able to help the
veteran to obhtain:the maximum
per application for this, as well as
other benefits."
The staff of the local office,
