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 ®-blasted him off the hill in a six-run sixth inning, capitalizing on six hits Sti-j- ent G1 11,and one Maize and Blue error.

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. Await Approval Still awaiting CPA approval are the General Service Building, the School of Business Administration building and the Maternity Hospital. Roth reported this progress on the government-approved building pro- jects: Married veterans apartments - basement work has been completed and brick work is up to or beyond the first floor on six of the eight struc- tures.

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.

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 Applications for editorial and business senior staff positions on The Gargoyle for 1946-47 will be due at noon Friday, it was an- nounced yesterday. Applications blanks are avail- able at Mrs. James' desk in the Student Publications Building. Copies of applications should be filed with Mrs. James according completed "about a year from now." Excavation work is about one-third' complete and rerouting of University and Detroit Edison overhead electric lines and a water main is under way. Chemistry Building addition-ex- cavation and underpining of the pre- sent building have ben started along with rerouting of sewer and under- ground services. IReady by Fall 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. v Cornmittee Has Authority 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. Tra* Situation Nears Normaley Effects of the soft-coal strike on Ann Arbor rail facilities have tapered off, leaving only four passenger trains still suspended, the Michigan Central reported yesterday. The New England Wolverine from Boston is still combined with the New York Wolverine. The Michigan, from Chicago, is not running. 342 from Chicago at midnight is com- bined with the Motor City. From De- troit, Motor City is combined with a mail train leaving at 12:30. The nation-wide embargo on freight was lifted May 11th, at the announcement of the coal-strike truce which is to expire Saturday. Panel Begins Lecture Series Teaching Profession Will Be First Subject A panel of five faculty members will discuss "Teaching As a Pro- fession" at 4:30 p.m. today in Rm. 1025 Angell Hall in the first lecture of the renewed literary college series on vocational guidance. The panel will be composed of Dean Hayward Keniston, of the lit- erary college, chairman, Dean James B. Edmonson, of the School of Edu- cation, and Professors Clarence D. Thorpe, Paul S. Welch and Benjamin W. Wheeler, of the literary college, Teachers' Certificate Committee. The panel members will discuss op- portunities in teaching, the value of preparation for teaching, financial rewards and satisfactions derived from teaching and the different branches of teaching for which train- ing is offered in the University. A question-and-answer period will follow the discussion. The lecture series will continue 1 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.
