The disclosure came from Wil low Run's housing director Charles P. Annala, who added that invita tions to this closed meeting had already been dispatched to th representatives of interested groups who put forth the sugges tions in question. He added tha after the difficulties have bee thrashed out, it's quite possible that revised policies will come into effect regarding electrical usag at the village. In reference to the University' announcement Friday, that rec ommendations will be presente( to the FPHA for the alleviation o electrical difficulties, Annala said that all such proposals would cer tainly be welcome. The University has been studying the situation with a view toward determining what may be done to add to the village residents' comforts along these lines. Electrical experts have been employed and methods sought to increase the power load at the village. These developments spring from recent alleged abuses of vil- lage electrical circuits resulting in overloading of the lines anc excessive burning of fuses. FEPC Bill Is . 'Defective' .r *,Rep.Christman State representative Louis G Christman told the Ann Arboi FEPC Council yesterday that he could not support the fair em- ployment practices act before the legislature as it now stands. Meeting with him were represen- tatives of various civic and church groups including George N. An- tonofsky, graduate student at the University and chairman of the Ann Arbor FEPC ouncil, and Mrs. William Clark Trow, who repre- sented the American Association of University Women. Representative Christman in- dicated that he supports the prin- ciple of fair employment practices, but that he believes that the bill as it now stands is defective. "It doesn't contain enough protec- tion for small business, and its provisions, including a state-wide educational campaign, would prove too costly for the state at this time," he said. While he 'maintained that the, bill in its present form would prove cntrary to state judicial practices, Christman acknowl- edged that if the FEPC issue were placed upon the ballot immediate- ly, it would pass. "People let their natural sense of fairness get the best of them, and they don' realize what the bill really means," he said. Chmia Needs Liberals-Lii Lack of popular support for lib- erals in the Chinese government stands in the way of rebuilding China, Paul T. K. Lin, '43, told the local chapter of the Chinese Student Christian Association yes- terday. Executive Secretary of the Na- tional Chinese Students Christ- ian Association, Lin is now work- ing for his doctorate at Harvard University. "Only those who have rejected the false gods of individualism and totalitarianism in their ex- treme form can be close to the people of China," he said. "The division of the world into two camps on the basis of oppes- ing philosophies is reflected in the two groups of people which exist in every country," Lin pointed Taft Asks Appraisal of Russi War Aims if U.S. Aids Greei - German PopulationCut r "AI n an ced ;ed Daily-Wake PERCY PRAYS FOR HER PUPS - Percy, the dog who does all her up and down travel in a bushel basket, is shown indulging in her daily prayer, per haps that her pups will someday get to use an es- calator.

Would Lessen War Potential Ministers Told Bidault Says France Would Absorb Exiles By The Associated Press MOSCOW, ,March 15-France proposed tonight a startling mod- ern day exodus of Germans from their defeated fatherland in order to lower the German war poten- tial, and Secretary Marshall said the plan struck at the heart of the German problem. Foreign minister Georges Bi- dault told the Foreign Ministers Council that the allies should un- dertake an organized reduction of the population through emigra- tion from a thickly-settled Reich and said France was prepared to take the revolutionary step of ab- sorbing Germans into her own population. War Potential He said that France considered the German population, which is much deiser than her neighboring states, a war potential that could be linked with the German in- dustrial potential. The day's developments found Marshall summoning Lt. Gen. Lu- cius D. Clay from Germany to con- sult on the German question, while the Chinese announced out- right rejection of Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov's plea for infor- mal Big Three discussions on China. Veteran Moscow observers ex- pected that Marshall and the ether Foreign Ministerswould be called to the Kremlin shortly to see Prime Minister Stalin. These reports coincided with word that Republican senators in the United States were urging that Marshall explain America's policies in the Mediterranean to the soviet leader. Russia struck the first blow against plans of the western allies for a 'federalized" Germany with criticism of western land reor- ganization policies which the Rus- sians viewed as paving the way for federalization. At the opening of today's meet- ing, the longest of the confer- ence, British Foreign Secretary Bevin reprimanded Deputy Soviet Minister Andrei Vishinsky for his insistence that Albania be per- mitted to participate in drawing up the German peace pact. By The Associated Press MOSCOW, March 15-Pravda, Communist Party organ, made a second bitter Soviet attack on President Truman's Greek-Turkish pol- icy today, declaring it did not serve the cause of Peace and security and "renders valueless" United States declarations of faithfulness to the United Nations. Echoing the same arguments as those advanced yesterday in Iz- vestia, the government newspaper, but even sharper in some of its conclusions, Pravda declared the proposed economic and military aid to Greece and Turkey was "imperialist expansion under the guise of charity'", PARIS, March 15-France severed, commercial relations with Bulgaria today in the most serious breach with another power since the liberation and gave two Bulgarian newspapermen 48 hours notice to leave the country. JERUSALEM, March 15-The cordon of troops around Tel Aviv's martial law zone was reinforced tonight and reports from that all- Jewish city indicated that the British Army was preparing to meet an underground Jewish threat to break through. * ** LAHORE, India, March 15-Twelve days of communal rioting in Punjab Province has killed 1,036 persons and seriously injured 1,110 others, a government communique said tonight. New outbreaks were reported in the vicinity of Rawalpindi, Khushab, Jhelum and Campbellpore, but "quiet or nearly qiute" was restored in most places, the communique added. * * * NANKING, March 15-Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek charged the Chinese Communists today with armed rebellion which he said the government must quell by force. 'U' Officials Bury an 'Oscar' By Hogging Garg Film Rights lWorld News at a Glancei Senator Seeks Statements By Military Men By JOAN FISKE While west-coast movie mag- notes dickered today over the screen rights to the March Gar- goyle, University of Michigan cam- pus humor magazine, University officials looked grave and shook their heads. "Dangerous to the foundations of American educa- tion," was their view. The Board of Regents and the Board in Control of Student Pub- lications made no comment. How- ever, an unidentified member of the History Department issued an unsigned statement which read: "Inasmuch as the students of this campus are unable to distinguish between humor and actual serious fact, it would pose a serious prob- lem if the Gargoyle's Handy Dan- dy Guide to Education were per- mitted to go on sale. University facilities are not equipped to han- dle such a problem." The Handy Dandy Guide to Education referred to in the state- ment is Gargoyle's feature of the month, a sixteen page syllabus guaranteeing a complete educa- tion for only 25c. Because of the avalanche of telephone calls into the Garg of- fice to reserve copies of the March issue, the Garg editors regret to inform their anxious readers that no more such reservations may be accepted. "We cannot disap- point those students who have counted on buying their copy through the regular rchannels from campus salesmen tomorrow," McKinlay pointed out. Raises Question Amid Fresh 'Developments By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, March 15- Sen. Taft (Rep., Ohio) called to- day for an official size-up on whether Russia may declare wa if the United States gives finan- cial and mlitary aid to Greece and Turkey. "I want to know what our top military people think of the pos- 'ibility that Russia will go to war if we carry out this program," he said, "just as we might be prompt- ed to go to war if Russia tried to force a Communist government on Cuba." New Developments He raised the . question amid these fresh developments: 1. President Truman made pub- lic messages of thanks from spokesmen for all Greek parties except the Communists. The' President said they show that all will "cooperate unreservedly with the United States government in its desire to assist Greece" and that they pledge the aid will b6 devoted to "constructive rehabili- tation and the cause of peace and freedom." Others May Ask Aid 2. Key congressmen predicted that Hungary and four Middle East states-Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine-may seek Ameri- can aid under the administration program of curbing the advance of Communism. These legislators estimated the. ultimate cost of the program may top $1,000,000,000. Mr. Truman has asked $4,- 000,000 for Greece and Turkey tis year. In reaching the $1,000,000,- 000 estimates, the congressmen counted in $350,000,000 already requested for relief in liberated countries and the sums budgeted for relief in occupied lands, as well as an undetermined amount of ex- pected new requests. New Plan Will Guard Against Election Fraud Reporting that only two polls will be used in the Student Leg- islature election T u e s d a y and Wednesday to provide "complete supervision of voting," Harvey Weisberg, election chairman, romised yesterday that "every ef- fort will be made to guard against election fraud."

Nine polling places were used in last semester's election. Sixty students are competing for the 23 positions which will be filled in the election. The 27 Leg- islators chosen last semester will keep their positions until next fall.

Spring va- cations had left only 25 students Techni c Will Try Batning Garg in Arch The Michigan Technic an- nounced yesterday that it will seek to oust the Gargoyle sales staff from the Engineering Arch tomor- row morning when both the Tech- nic and the Gargoyle go on campus sale. In announcing the decision after a two-hour conference with staff members. Milt David, editor, said "there just isn't room for both of us around the Arch." David said that the Gargoyle staff members would be asked to leave the Arch, but that the Technic would not attempt to interfere with their sales elsewhere on cam- pus. "In the event the Gargoyle in- sists upon its usual post, the Technic is prepared to use force- ful measures," he said.

You could get some good point- ers on how to go about it from Prof. Hans Kurath, who has un- dertaken the job of compiling a dictionary of Middle English which will be unique in that there is no really adequate work of this kind available at present. Office with a View The 10 members of the Middle English Dictionary staff pursue their monumental task on the top floor of Angell Hall, where they England. Prof. Kurath seems to minimize the job, however, when he states simply, "our job is to edit this material and make a dictionary." Just like that. Covers Four Centuries The Dictionary will include all the words used by writers between the years 1100 and 1500, obtained from study of all the manuscripts available from that period. "Our study takes us up to the beginning of printing," Prof. Ku- rath explained, adding that in this period many dialects were used, with no standardized spelling, thus inereasing th ennfusion.
