Vets' Absence Reports Vital Waldrop Says Need for Cooperation Is Emphaszed by VA The necessity for veterans' weekly absence reports was stressed to the leaders of campus veterans' groups by Robert S Waldrop, director of the Veterans Service Bureau, at the regular meeting of the University Veterans Council yesterday. Veterans Administration in- structions state that a veteran's "continuance in training is con- tingent upon maintenance of sat- isfactory conduct with respect to attendance, personal deportment and progress according to regu- larly prescribed standards of the educational institution." The University is obligated to report to the VA whenever a vet- eran has missed more than five "days" of class. Since it is possi- ble for a veteran to miss five "days" of class in one week, the University has set up the present' system of weekly reports, Wald'op said. The need for cooperation on the part of the veterans was empha- sized by Waldrop, who said, "High school pranks and incorrect re- ports only cost the University money and add to the work of making the reports." The proper withdrawal proce- dure for veterans was outlined to the Council by Gordon B. Jory, University cashier, who said a veteran quitting school must take the following steps: 1. Contact his dean or advisor. 2. Go to the Veterans Service Bureau and have his records ad- justed. 3. Go to the cashier's office to turn in his I.D. card and athletic ticket and have his books and sup- plies account adjusted. Common Cold Hits Campus Respiratory Patients Swell Infirmary List Although upper respiratory in- fections of a mild form have al- most doubled among students at the University in the past week, "luck" still seems to be keeping the cases from reaching unusual numbers, Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of Health Service, said yesterday. With upper respiratory patients occupying about half of the 55 beds, the infirmary is now filled for the first time this semester, Dr. Forsythe revealed. Health Service reports show that outpa- tients with upper respiratory in- fections have ranged from 50 to 60 a day, in comparison with 25 to 30, previously this year. The virus research unit, at the Public Health School, which is following the outbreak 'closely, has not been able to identify any positive cases of influenza. It is too early as yet to determine the effect of the influenza immuniza- tion shots given on campus last fall, according to one of the re- search doctors.f Abduction CIire Hearing Planned Redistributing 3,065 Legislature ballots according to the Hare sys- tem of proportional representa- tion, the election committee an- nounced the election of James Risk, Bob Silver, Jeanne Metel- ski, Miriam Levy, Anthony Spada, Jean Gringle, Gay Larsen, Con- nie Converse, Penny Klausner, Chuck Lewis, Edward McKinlay David Baldwin, Rae King, George Gordon, Barbara Newman, Stu- art Rankin, Bill Short, Ruth Sights, Dick Kelly, Janet Osgood, Peg Herold and Warren Bovee in that order.

Truman fiPlea Causes S)it ln Republicans WASHINGTON, March 19-(l) - The Greek - Turkish - Russian problem split the Republican ma- jority in Congress three ways to- night on the eve of the first pub- lic hearings on President Tru- man's appeal to bulwark Greece and Turkey against Communism. New demands arose for turning the ,problem over to the United Nations, some GOP members sug- gested a hands-off attitude to let the problem find its own an- swer and others strung ),long, at least tentatively, with Senator Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) who supports Mr. Truman on the mat- ter.

Without dissent, the committee agreed by a voice vote to recom- mend to the house the passage of enabling legislation introduced by Delegate Joseph R. Farrington (Rep., Hawaii). FourPowers May Reach Compromise German Problem May Be Settled MOSCOW, March 19 -(/P)-The first inkling that the Moscow con- ference might reach a compromise on Germany came tonight when Secretary of State George C. Mar- shall and Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov agreed that the four powers possibly could recon- cie their positions. Atthe sametime, British For- eign Secretary Ernest Bevin grave- ly warned the conference that the success of negotiations on Ger- many will have a definite effect on1 big power collaboration in all of Europe. Skeleton in Closet Molotov, who shook the repara- tions skeleton out of the Yalta closet, found Bevin and Marshall producing similar references to previously secret discussions at Pots.dam and in the Allied Con- trol Concil for Germany. Marshall revealed that the Rus- sians, who yesterday came out for a 10,000,000 to 12,000,000-ton steel production in Germany, fought desperately in the Allied Control Council a year ago to limit Ger- man steel production to 3,500,000 tons yearly because "a higher steel outputs constitutes a war poten- tial." Bevin in turn revealed that it was Prime Minister Stalin himself who insisted at Potsdam on, cap- ital goods reparations from the western zones and not the current production which the Soviets now ask. Little Agreement Reached Despite conciliatory speeches, little agreement was reached at today's meeting on basic issues, and new differences came to light in the economic discussions. Bevin rejected setting a dollar value on reparations such as the Soviet $10,000,000 demand, reject- ed the Soviet demand to dissolve the4 Anglo-American zone fusion, demanded a balanced economy for Germany before reparations and rejected the French demand for definite coal deliveries to other European states. Molotov rejected economic unity for Germany without reparations, rejected Marshall's and Bevin's contention that the Potsdam agreement superseded Yalta on reparations, but supported the French coal demand. Siger Signs State Bonuis Payment Bill LANSING, March 19 -(/P-- Governor Sigler signed into law today a bill creating machinery for the payment of the $270,000,- 000 veterans' bonus and setting up qualifications for recipients. His action was almost the last official step necessary before the Ad jutant General Department can begin distribution of application blanks for the bonus and the pay- ment of the claims. The application forms. approved by the state administrative board yesterday, have gone to the printer and Brig. Gen. LeRoy Pearson, adjutant general, said he hoped to start distributing them by the end of this week. They will be made available through veterans' counseling services, veterans' or- ganizations, banks and city halls. Calls Off Threat of Coal Strike; Lewis Yields Court Voids Talmadge 5-2 to Decision Gives Office ToThornpson Tahitadge Takes Case to People By The Associated Press ATLANTA, Ga., March 19-The State Supreme Court rejected claims of Herman Talmadge to- day as governor of Georgia, and the ousted champion of white su- premacy yielded to Lieut.-Gov. M. E. Thompson with a vow to take his case to the people. The high court, in an historic, 5-to-2 decision, voided the legisla- ture's election of young Talmadge in place of his late father, Eugene Talmadge, who died 23 days be- fore inauguration. The court held that when Talmadge died, there was no legal successor to Gov. Ellis Ar- nall, and declared Arnall held over. When he resigned vi-.,- tarily Jan. 18, 1947, the court continued, executive authority passed to the lieutenant-gover- nor. The decision came nine weeks to the day after Talmadge teized physical control of the executive offices and goveinor's mia sion with state troopers and National Guard officers. Talmadge stumped out of the capitol, followed by his chief po- litical lieutenant, tubby, talka- tive Roy V. Harris, who had helped engineer his abortive election by the legislature. Before leaving, Talmadge telephoned his pretty young wife at the mansion. "Honey, it was five to two against us," he said. "Get our stuff together now and we'll move out this afternoon." Talmadge then told reporters: "In all political questions the court of last resort is the people of Georgia. This question will be carried to the court of last resort." The Supreme Court's decision was made public at 11:25 a.m. By 12:15 p.m., Talmadge and his staff had cleaned out their desks, removed all private papers, and locked the doors. Jubilant Lieut-Gov. Thompson, pump-handling well-wishers in al suite of a downtown hotel, de- clared: "All along I have believed it was wrong for the General As- sembly to elect a governor."

Court Ruling, Claims, No Bitterness Expressed in ReplytoKrug Work Agreement Remains Valid By 'he Associated Press WASHINGTON, March 19 - John L. Lewis, yielding "uncon- ditionally" to a Supreme Court mandate, told his 400,000 soft ,oal miners today to keep on work- ng after March 31. With no outward hint of bitter- ness, Lewis thus called off the breat of a new nation-wide coal strike next month and agreed to ;cave it to the courts for "final determination" of his long and costly battle with the government, In terminating the strike last fall, Lewis had instructed his mi- er's to continue operations until illow the end of March.
