CollegeHeads Report Few Campus Reds 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.

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. uhr Miners Walk Out Medical Center Flans A ruwunced by Officials Cor(IiIatiohl ofleahig Researcli Contemuplated in Publie Health, New Program 1 3 i l l J l 1 i 1 1 1 f ti 1 1 Daily-Wake BEFORE THE SNOW-Before spring took her turn back to winter, "sidewalk superintendents", like these students, were frequent visitors to the construction site of the new General Service Building, The huge crane, operated by Darrel Picard, has been one of the chief centers of attention.

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.

F, V C Y:S 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." final Toll 111 At Centralia 'All Found, All Dead' In Mining Disaster CENTRALIA, Ill., March 29- (/Pl)-Rescue squads, who braved dense gas and weakened mine walls in an almost fruitless four day search for survivors in an ex- plosion-torn coal mine, completed their explorations today and an- nounced the final death toll was Ill.
