Now Ready
r For Veterans
Initial Demand
Reduces Supply
Bonus application forms for
Michigan veterans are now avail-
able in Ann Arbor, but community
offices, busy all yesterday, asked
veterans to slow down their rush
to get them.
The American Red Cross in
Nickels Arcade has a limited num-
ber of forms available, but may
run out today, according to Har-
old Hoffman, Home Service 'Di-
rector.
'Million People'
"There must have been a mil-
lion people in here today," one of
his assistants said. "So far, we've
been able to take care of every-
body."
Hoffman asked veterans who do
come to the office this week to be
sure to bring their original dis-
charge certificates.
The Veterans' Counseling Cen-
ter at the Armory asked veterans
to wait a week or so before apply-
ing for the blanks.
"There were about 500 or 600
people in today, and we have forms
for only about another day," a
staff worker said.
The Veterans' Service Bureau
has not yet received bonus blanks,
Robert Walcrop, VSB director,
said yesterday. He said there was
no reason for the veterans to rush
after the forms.
Y Two Year Limit
"There's a two-year limit be-
fore they have to be filed," he
said. "But more important, it is
of extreme importance to exer-
L cise the utmost care in filling out
ie forms or veterans will have to
ait a long time for their bonuses.
So far, instructions from Lans-
ing have been limited."
Waldrop said the VSB is pre-
pared to help veterans who have
the forms.
The campus AVC reported that
it had no forms.
Reports from Lansing last week
said that the forms would be
available at banks, veterans' or-
ganizations, counseling centers,
and county clerks' offices.
Besides the original discharge
certificate, veterans must have
personal identification with them
when the forms are notarized.

Education School Votes
Modified A thletic Plan
Two Year Compulsory Sports Course
Will Give Four Credit Hours For Degree
The School of Education yesterday became the first University
college to act on the recent physical education proposal, approving a
modified program.
Education school faculty members voted to require all students
to complete two years of physical education. The physical education
department committee had asked that a three-year program be made
compulsory in all schools of the University.
At yesterday's meeting, faculty members voted to give four hours
academic credits toward the bachelor's degree for the physical educa-
tion course. At the same time, th
Truman Signs
Sugar, Scarce
Materials Acts
Expresses Dislike
For October Deadline
WASHINGTON, March 31-(IP)
-President Truman today signed
-"with reluctance" a law extending
sugar rationing only until Oct. 31.
He also signed another rush bill'
passed by Congress during the day
preserving federal controls over a
small group of scarce materials
until June 30.
Midnight Race
Both measures were hustled
through Senate and House arid
sent to the White House in a race
against the midnight expiration
of the Second War Powers Act,
basis of the wartime rationing,
priority and allocation power.
The President, evidently more
dissatisfied by the short life given
sugar rationing than by the cur-
tailment of his own broad execu-
tive powers of allocation, issued a
sharp statement on the sugar leg-
islation.
Oct 31 "appears to be too early
for the termination of sugar con-
trols," he said. He added that
this had been recognized by many
congressmen "both in committee
and in debate."
Mr. Truman also noted that
Congress assumes that sugar sup-
plies by Oct. 31 "might be materi-
ally larger than those now drlin-
itely in prospect."
20 Pounds Allotted
The Sugar Act also extends
price control on sugar through
October. It otherwise would have
expired June 30.
The bill as signed by Mr. Tru-
man provides that each person
shall have a ration of at least 20
pounds of sugar in the next seven
months. This is equivalent to a
minimum of 35 pounds a year, or
10 pounds more than was allowed
last year.
Gromyko Accepts
Freiwh lProposal
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., March
31 - (/P)- Andrei A. Gromyko,
Soviet delegate, accepted part of1
a French compromise but refused
to vote on a final plan for work
for the Committee of the United
Nations Atomic Energy Commis-
sion.
The French proposal called for
action by the Commission's work-
ing committee, made up of the
principal delegates, on the points
of disagreement between the
United States and Russia.
hey raised graduation requirements
'from 120 to 124 credit hours.
The Administrative Committee
of the education school has not
yet selected the effective date of
this new plan. Students already
enrolled in the school, however,
will not be affected by the change.
The physical education proposal
revealed last week was the result
of two years' work on the part of
a nine-man group appointed by
Athletic Director H. O. Crisler in
March 1944.
The importance for teachers to
have some instruction in physical
education was stressed at the edu-
cation school meeting as the basis
for the increase in physical edu-
cation requirements.
Other schools in the University
are expected to act on this pro-
posal in the near future. A Daily
poll revealed varied reactions to
the Crisler proposal. Campus stu-
dent leaders polled were "whole-
heartedly in favor" of the pro-
posal. Individual students dis-
agreed on the "credit side" of the
proposal.
It has been pointed out that the
physical education program would
allow a wide range of selection in
the field of athletic interests. The
suggested curriculum includes over
50 courses, divided into the five
main phases: the developmental,
competitive, recreational, orienta-
tion, and modified programs.

Marshall Hits
Soviet Stand
On Germany
No Agreetent U on
'ULimatuni'Basis
By The Associated Press
MOSCOW, March 31-Secretary
of State Marshall blasted at Rus-
sia's uncompromising stand on
German reparations tonight and
warned that the United States op-
poses "policies which will continue
Germany as a congested slum."
In his bluntest speech to the
Council of Foreign Ministers, Mar-
shall said the four powers could
never reach agreements "on the
basis of an ultimatum." He added
that the United States "categori-
cally rejects" the Russian stand
that "acceptance of reparations
from current production is an ab-
solute condition of economic uni-
ty.
No Concessions
Russian Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov, whose proposals also were
attacked by British Foreign Sec-
retary Ernest Bevin, made no con-
cessions on reparations, but ex-
pressed hope that differences
among the four powers could be
reconciled.
In referring to the Potsdam
agreement and discussions here
on reparations, Marshall told Mol-
otov:
"It looks very much to us as
though the Soviet Union is trying
to sell the same horse twice."
Molotov made other similarly
biting replies to some of Mar-'
shall's points, but his general
tone was described as mild in co-
parison with some of his previous
speeches.
Restricted Session
After Molotov's statement Mar-
shall suggested that the ministers
meet tomorrow in "restricted ses-
sion" and they agreed. Excluded
from such a session will be the
extra official reporters who brief
the press, and the meeting may
be presented in much less detail to
newsmen.
The American Secretary said
that France, too, had adopted an
immovable attitude and had in-
sisted that her demands for Ger-
man coal be recognized before the
ministers proceeded to other im-
portant German questions.
"While we realize that France
was not a party to the Potsdam
agreement, we cannot accept her
request as a condition to our ne-
gotiations," Marshall said.
dor mRes idents
Must Turn fin
Suoiar Stamps
The action to be taken against
dormitory residents who do not
turn in their sugar ration stamps
has not yet been determined, but
"they shouldn't go unpunished,"
Francis C. Shiel, business manager
of the residence halls, said yester-
day.
Students living in residence
halls which serve meals have been
requested to turn in spare sugar
stamp No. 11 today. Shiel point-
ed out that this is the day when
the next University allotment of
sugar is due.
"We have enough sugar to carry
us through this wee," he said,
but the allotment wil be' eeded
after vacation. if 100 per cent of
the stamps are not turned in to
the OPA, our quota is liable to be
reduced in relation to the number
of stamps lacking."
This will result in less sugar for
everyone, he declared. "If a great
majority of the students turn in
their stamps, they will be made to
suffer for the lack of cooperation
of the minority. Some action
should therefore be taken against
this group."
Any disciplinary or punitive ac-
tion taken against students who
do not turn in stamps would have
to come through the Board of Gov-
ernors of the Residence Halls and
would be enforced through the
residence halls office. Previously
students who did not have their
ration books were asked to leave
the residence halls,
Students who have lost their ra-
tion book or did not apply for
one upon leaving the armed forces
must make application for a new
book through the OPA.

Special School Does Double

By NATALIE BAGROW

Out Ypsilanti way there is a school which looks like any typically
up-to-date small educational institution, but actually it is the only one
of its kind in the world.
The unique character of the Horace H. Rackham School of Speciaal

combined training and laboratory school for all types of handicapped
children on a college campus.

Franco Law
Might Create
Spanish King
Council To Serve
As Interim Ruler
By 'The ssciated Press
MADRID, March 31-(P)-Gen-
eralissimo Francisco Franco told
the Spanish people tonight he had
sent a "law of succession" to the
Cortes (parliament) which might
place another king on the vacant
throne of Spain.
On the eve of the eighth an-
niversary of the capitulation of
the Spanish Republican govern-
ment, Franco declared in a na-
tion-wide radio broadcast that the
law would be effective in the event
of his death or incapacition.
The law of succession was the
first admission ever made by
Franco that his government was
a temporary one and that it
might be replaced by another
form of rule over Spain's 26,-
000,000 persons.
It provides in one section that
Franco, as chief of state, will have
the power to suggest a successor
to the Cortes, but in another sec-
tion sets up a "council of the
kingdom" which would serve as
interim ruler and would have the
power to select a king or another
chief of state.
In his "Victory Day" speech,
Franco, who assumed leadership
of the Spanish revolution in
1936 and has headed the gov-
ernment since the fall of the
Republican government, defend-
ed his regime and capitalistic
enterprise. The world has been
wrong, he declared, in assuming
his government was rightist be-
cause Spanish rightists sided.
with his nationalistic cause
rather than with the republi-!
cans.
Spain, he said, must increase her
wealth and must achieve just dis-
tribution of the wealth.
Asserting that the world once
failed to comprehend his anti-
communistic stand, he said that
such sentiment now is changing,
"Our inquietude, not under-
stood yesterday, has been convert-
!d into the general inquietude of
the responsible men of today," he
said.
