Gilbert, prominent psychologist who lectured at Rackham yesterday, was the first person to decide that it would be profitable to make psychological studies of the top Nazi war criminals. In an interview yesterday he explained how his job as an Army intelligence officer, interviewing German prisoners, aroused his curi- osity as to the motives and moral values of the leading Nazis slated for trial at Nuernberg. He applied for the position of prison psycholo- gist, and "though the Army was slightly taken aback," he got the job. Local Counmeil Will Continue FEPC Fight Although the Michigan Supreme Court has declared the Fair Em- ployment Practices Act illegal, "the fight to make Michigan the fifth state in the country with an FEPC will continue more vigorous- ly," according to George Antonof- sky, chairman of the Ann Arbor FEPC Council. Branding the Supreme Court action "outrageous," Antonofsky said yesterday "we do not believe that the FEPC initiatory petition with more than 200,000 state-wide signatures can be so easily ignored and that the will of such a sub- stantial number of people will yet conquer." Sen. Stanley Nowak (Dem. De- troit) said yesterday that he would reintroduce within a few days a new FEPC bill to replace one the Supreme Court killed Monday, according to an Associated Press report. Sen Nowak said his bill would be the same as the previous FEPC measure except that it would contain a title, according to the Associated Press dispatch. In this role he remained at Nuernberg throughout the trial, holding daily conversations with the ex-bigwigs of the Third Reich. This day to day study, aside from giving him the enviable chance of telling Goering what he thought of him, turned up many sidelights on the character of the men who once ran Germany, he said. Daily Conversations As Dr. Gilbert saw them, the prisoners were nothing but a group of double-crossing, back- biting hypocrite who tried in ev- ery way to shift the blame to each other. Commenting on them individu- ally, Dr. Gilbert characterized Goering as being "a morphine ad-' dict. Tried to appear the jovial innocent while browbeating other defendents into protecting him." Individual Comments Hess: "A hysterical neurotic. His lapses of memory were genu- ine." Ribbentrop: "Cowering little weakling who seemed to have no mind of his own." Streicher: "A perverted little worm." In summing up his findings at Nuernberg, Dr. Gilbert placed ma- jor blame for the atrocities on the vicious propagandists of Nazi- ism and urged that Americans must be wary of that same sort of hate-spreading. World News Roundup- By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, March 4-Rep.1 Thomas (Rep.-N.J.) t o 1 d thea House today that "through our coddling policy of giving Russia our patented knowledge she may well be on her way to discovery" of many atomic bomb secrets. .Thomas made his report as Chairman of the House Commit- tee on Un-American Activities. He blasted at what he called the "le- gal espionage" system by which he said Russians were able to get hundreds of thousands of copies of industrial, chemical and mili- tary patents. WASHINGTON, March 4 - The Post Off-ice department, seeking to overcome an unex- pected $287,697,250 deficit, asked Congress today to authorize a general increase in postal rates except for first class letters. SHANGHAI, March 4 - The Chinese government, beset by civil war and economic troubles at home and by uprisings in Formosa that one observer termed a revo- lution, tightened its press policy today. Foreign correspondents feared censorship of the Chinese press might follow and some predicted complete suppression of criticism of the government. WASHINGTON, March 4-The House, temporarily side-tracking a GOP drive to slash President Truman's $37,500,000,000 budget, today approved a $10,000,000 ex- penditure which had not been re- quested by the President himself. Overriding pleas by Rep. Dirk- sen (Rep.-Ill.) that the economy line be held, the House voted 243 to 110 to authorize the expendi- ture of the new millions for im- porting foreign farm laborers. Bidault Says Treaty Aimed At Germany Provisions Subject To UN Charter Law By The Associated Press DUNKERQUE, France, March 4-A treaty binding France and Great Britain to act jointly against any possible future aggression by Germany and pledging the' two countries to a 50-year alliance was signed here today by foreign min- sters Ernest Bevin and Georges Bidault. The pact also calls for mutual action by France and Great Brit- ain in the event Germany defaults in any of the economic obligations imposed in her surrender or in the forthcoming German peace settle- ment. Economics Security The two countries, under the treaty's terms, also will 'take all possible steps to promote the pros- perity and economic security" of each other. All the pact's provisions, the text stated explicitly, are subject to the provisions of the charter of the United Nations. Bevin and Bidault affixed their signatures to the pact in the tiny Dunkerque sub-prefecture build- ing, the largest' structure still standing in the devastated city where, in 1940, the Nazi army in- flicted on Britain her greatest de- feat of World War II. "On the occasion of the sign- ing of this treaty, the foreign ministers of Great Britain and France express the hope that these guarantees will soon be com- pleted by the conclusion of a four- power treaty laying down condi- tions for the disarmament and de- militarization of Germany and the methods of putting them into ef- fect." Not A Western Bloc Bevin, en route to the Moscow conference of the Big Four For- eign Ministers' Council, said be- fore the signing: "I think that Russia realizes that this treaty is not a western bloc but only a step in the pattern of universal peace. 'We are now realizing that peace is really individual and must be re-established that way. Bidault has announced that the same treaty provisions would be offered to "the other great allies" and to the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia. The treaty also has been described as a possible forerunner of a Big-Four pact such as that proposed last year by former U. S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes to cement allied accord in relations with Germany. Marshall Asks Ratification of Peace Pacts WASHINGTON, Mar. 4-()- Secretary of State George C. Mar- shall and James F. Byrnes testi- fied today that quick approval of peace treaties with Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria and Roumania would speed removal of hundreds of thousands of occupational troops that the United States, England and Russia still maintain in Eu- rope. After former secretary of state Byrnes had answered questions of the Senate foreign relations com- mitteefrndea rtwohurcair- man Vandenberg (Rep.-Mich.) told reporters: "I see no substantial congres- sional opposition (to ratification of the treaties) but I do not like to return a jury verdict until the jury has had a chance to hear all the evidence." Treaty Ratification Secretary Marshall stressed the "importance of prompt ratifica- tion" of these first postwar treat- ies as a "start on the road back to peace." "The treaties were not dictated by thi T~nita d sate" Mrsvhall tion of that unit. The $900,000 fund for the maternity hospital was crossed off the ledger. Chemistry Building Bishop declared one faction in the legislature sought to stop all institutional building and another to complete all buildings now started. Funds for completion of the Business Administration school, the engineering building addition, and the chemistry building are provided in the compromise allo- cation. Keeping Promise Bishop said the committee was "keeping the promise" of the last legislature to give Michigan State College and the University of Michigan each $3,200,000 to com- plete parts of their programs, thus providing M.S.C. with a total pro- gram of $7,000,000 and the Uni- versity $8,000,000. The committee allowed a $235,- 000 increase in alloments for mis- celaneops state institutions, an increase of $274,000 for the oth- er state colleges and held the hos- pital group to the same appropri- ation allowed last year, with some changes within the group. The committee stopped progress on the proposed worthwhile state. hospital with a $565,000 grant for site and some utilities, and ap- proved funds for the addition of 1,400 new beds at four other in- stitutions. 19 Students Face Council Hearing Clears 12 Of Ticket Charges Nineteen of the 27 students giv- en a last chance to answer the charge that they obtained and kept fraudulent football tickets appeared before the Men's Judi- ciary Council yesterday in the first of two hearings. Twelve of the students were able to present evidence that they had sufficient credit hours to entitle them to upperclass seating. Records of five others who pleaded innocent on the same grounds will be checked to determine their class standing, Talbot Honey, chairman of the council, said. Two students pleaded guilty. Penalties for students found guilty will be recommended to the University Disciplinary Commit- tee, Honey said. Yesterday's hearing was held for students who did not appear at the Dec. 2 trial of those charged with falsifying their registration cou- pons to obtain upper-class football tickets. A second hearing will be held by the Council from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday in the Union. State Finance Proposal May Curb 'U' Building Compromise Would Hold Up Completion Of General Service Building, Other Units LANSING, Mar. 4-(I')-A $37,903,000 compromise state building program that would delay completion of the General Service Building at the University of Michigan and other proposed units throughout the state was sponsored today by the senate finance committee. Senator Otto W. Bishop said that although the compromise calls for an increase of $6,903,000 over previously appropriated grants of $31,000,000 some projects will have to be disbanded. The plan allows the University only $1,000,000 for the General Service building. Estimates of building costs for the unit are near $3,000,000. The proposal also limits funds for a new power house to $525,000 and will prevent comple-t :, AVC Sets Up Plan forVillagye ElectricControl Representatives Will Check Fuses, Circuits Willow Run's AVC gave full ap- proval last night to a special com- mittee's proposal that one person from each housing structure be given full responsibility for replac- ing burnt fuses and reporting abuses in electrical circuits throughout Willow Village. The proposal, made by the AVC chapter in conjunction with var- ious independent citizens' groups at the village, came as a tenants' remedy to the problems which precipitated the recent village- wide investigation of ,the 'uses to which eectricity has been put. It will be submitted this morning to Charles H. Annala, FPHA direc- tor at Willow Run. The resolu- tion provides that the represent- atives, each of whom will care for one housing structure, will replace all burnt fuses with 15-ampere. fuses. They are to seek the caus- es of malfunctioning of the cir- cuits with a view toward educat- ing their fellow tenants in the more careful use of appliances. The representatives will also re- port anyone breaking into the fuse boxes and must indicate to authorities any excessive fuse burning. According to Walt Hoffman, AVC chairman at the village, the resolution would eliminate the chief grievance encountered in the situation, that of the great lapse of time before replacement of burnt fuses by maintenance per- sonnel. Hoffman Head Government sources said London today Britain would ca ry out a program of reducing h forces in Greece-aimed even tually at complete withdrawal- - despite United States offers financial aid to the strike-toi kingdom. The British decision agai keeping the Greek occupation fo at its present strength, estima at 15,000, came after study American offers 'of both cred and surplus arms and stores Greece if the British would cc tinue efforts to maintain ord the sources said. . The exchanges began when B; ain informed the United States could not bear the burden of economic commitments in Gre after March 31. A foreign office spokesman, claring reductions would be c ried out according to plan, i final'withdrawal would take p1 when it was "practicable." He not elaborate.

Of Village AVC Walt Hoffman was reelected Willow Village's AVC chairman, in an uncontested election at West Lodge last night, and immediate- ly declared that he would try to make his chapter "an even more effective sounding board for the gripes of student veterans." At the meeting, Gayle Thomp- son assumed the post of vice- chairman for the current semes- ter. Charles Blackmar was unan- imously elected secretary of the village chapter, succeeding Miss Thompson. Carroll Barber was also unopposed in his reelection as treasurer. The new executive committee, as chosen at the meet- ing, includes Richard Eichbauer, Ollie Lyon, and Cleve Mathews.
