No Major Worry
At Wayne, MSC
By PAUL HARSHA
Presidents of Wayne University
and Michigan State College sup-
port the Sheppard Bill, which
would outlaw the Communist par-
ty, but they do not feel that Com-
munism is a major threat on their
campuses.
Dr. David D. Henry of Wayne,
and Dr. John A. Hannah of Mich-
igan State declared in telephone
conversations with The Daily
that campus Communists are not
a major problem.
"They are no problem at all
except for the newspaper public-
aity," Dr. Hannah said. "There
are only half-a-dozen Communists
on our campus."
Dr. Henry thinks that with Com-
munism outlawed, it would be
simpler to handle the problem, but
he added that his University
could take corrective measures
without passage of the Sheppard
Bill.
Dr. Hannah reported that "there
has been a good deal of criticism
leveled at the state's campuses for
not 'throwing out 'every Commu-
nist. Of course, we have no right
to do that."- He said the Sheppard
Bill would provide that right.
He declared himself in favor of
outlawing the Communist Party,
saying:
"To me Communism is a world
doctrine, dominated from Mos-
cow at the moment."
Both presidents said that re-
ports of Gov. Sigler's testimony to
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities were "essen-
tially correct."
Gov. Sigler in his report quoted
them and President Ruthven as
saying "Give us some law which
says the Communist Party is il-
legal and we will make short work
of individuals on our campuses
trying to overthrow the govern-
ment."
President Ru t h v en reserved
comment.
Deadlines Set
For Decisions
MOSCOW, March 29 - (1')
Prodded by Secretary Marshall,
the foreign ministers agreed to-
night to set dates to reach main
bargaining decisions on the fu-
ture of Germany.
Simultaneously the British
sought four-power agreement on
return of all war prisoners to Ger-
many by Dec. 31, 1948.
Authoritative sources also dis-
closed that in a diplomatic side-
show outside the ministers' con-
ference Sir Maurice Peterson, the
~British ambassador, was conduct-
ing negotiations with the Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister A. Y.
Vishinsky on revision of the Brit-
ish-Russian alliance.
The negotiations were a follow-
up to the meeting between British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
and Prime Minister Stalin at the
beginning of the week. Inform-
ants said that if a basis is reached
for revising the present 20-year
treaty against Germany dating
from 1942, the recommendations
would be put before Stalin and
Bevin in another meeting before
Bevin leaves Moscow.
In the shortest session of the
conference to date, lasting only
an hour, the ministers agreed to I
try to settle the heart of the Ger-
man problem by discussing these
main points in two blunderbuss
sessions starting next Monday:
1. Germany as an economic
unit, including reparations, and
a review of the level of industry,
including industrial demilitariza-
tion.
2. The form and scope of a pro-
visional German government.

In Food Protest
British View Riots
'With Sympathy'
By The Associated Press
ESSEN, March 29-A walkout of
4,000 Dortmund coal miners in-
jected a new note to seriousness
today in Ruhr food shortage dem-
onstrations marked so far by con-
siderable sympathy on the part
of the British occupiers.
Officials watched closely wheth-
er the Ruhr's other 250,000 miners
might fall into step with the Dort-
mund men who were cheered by
their wives as they left the pits
while 2,000 hunger marchers pa-
raded the downtown streets and
sent deputations to British and
German municipal authorities.
The Dortmund walkout was
the first instance in three days
of Ruhr strikes and demonstra-
tions that miners left the jobs
so essential to German and Eu-
ropean economy.
Attention centered on an ad-
dress scheduled tomorrow by Dr.
Kurt Schumacher, leader of the
Social Democratic Party, at Ober-
hausen, a few miles north of Dues-
seldorf where 100,000 demonstra-
tors yesterday stoned British
buildings and overturned British
Jeeps.
It was generally expected that
the Schumacher speech would hold
the key to the course the Germans
will follow.
The Dortmund strike and
demonstration was without in-
cident. Four mines were affect-
ed by the walkout of miners de-
manding that the daily food ra-
tion of 1,550 calories be met in
fuill. The demonstrators said
they had been receiving hardly
two-thirds the official ration.
The miners agreed to return to
work Monday but said they would
strike again unless their families
received their full food allot-
ments.

Says Trade Is Family Affair
By LIDA DAILES and JOAN KATZ
Plans for a medical center which will make possible the centrali-
zation of all medical instruction, research and public service, were
disclosed yesterday by President Alexander G. Ruthven and Dean Al-
bert C. Furstenberg of the Medical School.
Enlarging upon a recent statement that he and 18 other univer-
sity heads signed calling for increased financial aid to medical schools,
President Ruthven said that the center has been proposed "in order
to meet the disciplines and responsibilities which modern medical
education demands."
"The Medical School has always been financially supported to
the extent that it can meet the changing needs of medical education,"
---Dean Furstenberg said. "Contin-
ued support would enable an ex-
pansion of the facilities of our
medical school within the center
w eof activities, making possible a
Co t joint program with the public
health school which would estab-

Ldard Vital, Adanms Says
Miners Ready
To Cooperate
100 Per Cent
Estinate Stop Will
Cost 10 Million Tons
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 29 -
John L. Lewis today called a six-
day work stoppage in the soft
coal mines in mourning for the
Centralia disaster victims starting
April 1-the date he had set for a
strike until the Supreme Court
stopped him.
He also demanded the ouster of
Secretary of the Interior Krug on
the ground of "criminal negli-
gence" in regard to enforcing safe-
ty rules,
Lewis' order to the 400,00
members of the United Mine
Workers union called it "a sa-
cred coincidence that the great-
er part of this designated period
of mourning will be during 'Holy
Week'."
But Senator Ball (Rep., Minn.)
commented that "in the present
condition of the world, I think it's
an extremely inappropriate me-
mnorial." He added that "it cer-
tainly demonstrates against the
power of one man-if he can do
it.,,
The miners appeared ready to
observe without question the
six-day mourning period. Their
attitude was summed up in the
words, "if John L. Lewis says
we're going out, we're goingn ut."
Word of the shaggy United
Mine leader's order which directed
the stoppage beginning midnight
tomorrow filtered slowly through.
the mine areas yesterday but UMW
leaders and miners agreed they
would cooperate with Lewis 100
per cent.
The nationwide shutdown
next Tuesday through Sunday
will cost an estimated 1,000,000'
tons of coal production. The
miners who observe it will draw
110 pay.
Lewis told a news conference
that the shutdown will not Violate
the Supreme Court order which di-
rected him to withdraw his notice
"terminating" his contract with
the government-the signal for a
strike-and to issue no such no-
tice again as long as the govern-
ment operates the mine.
Ile said the memorial shut-
down is authorized under a pro-
vision of his 1941 contract with
the private operators which is
c'arried forward in the govern-
ment pact. It reads:
"The International Union,
United Mine Workers of Amer-
ica, may designate memorial
periods providing it shall give
proper notice to each district"
Government officials were un-
available for comment immediate-
ly.
In calling the shutdown, Lewis
commented that "at least no more
men will die during the mourning
period. They will be safe for that
time anyway."
