will tick to Collective Bargaining
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 3-The government was reported tonight to
have proposed a "package" raise of $5.14 a week to settle the long dis-
tance part of the telephone strike, but the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company turned thumbs down on any such formula.
George S. Dring, A. T. and T. vice president, would not acknowl-
edge that there was a government proposal before the strike negotia-,
Riot Is Quelled
By Soldiers at
Leavenworth
Tear Gas Stops Race
Rebellion; One Dead
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kans.,
May 3--(/P)-The army quelled a
raceriot in the disciplinary bar-
racks in which one prisoner was
killed and five guards and six
prisoners injured today, finally
forcing capitulation of 514 white
prisoners who had defied a surren-
der ultimatum throughout the af-
ternoon.
Earlier, 213 Negro prisoners in
another cell block surrendered
after a night and morning of riot-
ing and disorder that forced the
army to send to Kansas City for
additional supplies of tear gas.
The task of clearing the white
prisoners' cell block was complet-
ed at 6:20 p.m. No bodies were
found, and only two of the prison-
ers required hospitalization-one a
prisoner who previously had ma-
laria, and another who was suf-
fering from an old injury. Both
conditions had been aggravated by
the tear gas.
Smouldering Discontent
The rioting grew out of resent-
ment of white prisoners at having
to eat in the same mess hall with
Negroes and the smouldering dis-
content flared into disorder 48
hours ago. This broke into an
open riot last night after three
Negro prisoners attacked a white
man in the shower room.
Maj. Henry C. Triesler, public
relations officer at Fort Leaven-
worth, said the prisoners had dam-
aged cell block 6, the wing in which
the white prisoners were confined,
extensively, and that the men
would be detained overnight in an-
other block.
Work To Be Resumed
He said work would be resumed
at the prison tomorrow by some
prisoners whose records were good,
and that a full work schedule
would be resumed Monday. Bar-
ring unforeseen developments, he
said, the barracks would be back to
normal by Tuesday.
Col. Graeme Parks, comman-
dant of the barracks, was conduct-
ing an investigation tonight in an
effort to segregate the ringleaders.
Pleas for court martial proceed-
ings would await completion of the
investigation, he said.
Village Council
Will Convene
The initial session of Willow
Run's first Village Council, com-
posed of newly-elected representa-
tives of the project's citizenry, will
be held at 1 p.m. today at 1711
Stamford.
William Stright, chairman of the
eletion committee, disclosed the
plans for this organizational meet-
ing simultaneously with his an-
nouncement of the final returns
of last week's Council election.
"Today's meeting," he said, "will
strive to make of the new group
one best able to function in the in-
terest of all the residents of the
Village."
Twenty residents comprise the
Counciland represent the apart-
ment area's ten election districts.
Previously announced intentions
of making of the dormitory area,
housing 1,500 single students, a
district in itself, were thwarted, ac-
cording to Stright, "because the
dorms submitted no candidates for
election to the Council."
Representing the married stu-
dents and their families, in the
tors, but he told a reporter:
"In case of any proposition of
that kind, the company would be
opposed.
"We strongly believe that a set-
tlement should be reached by free
collective bargaining between the
company and the union on the
basis of all the facts. It is for that
reason that we would be opposed
to any such proposition by the gov-
ernment."
On the question of what actually
had been proposed-or whether
anything had been put forward at
all-Dring would say only that
"you'll have to ask the concilia-
tion service about that."
The formula had been reported
earlier by a person in close touch
with the negotiations as including:
1. A $4.50 average weekly wage
increase, the exact sum to be
worked out between the union and
company for each city.
2. "Fringe" settlements, involv-
ing vacation, pension and other
provisions included in an agree-
ment initialed by company and
union officials April 10, approxi-
mating another 64 cents a week.

Temporary
Classrooms
To Be Built
FedIeral FundS
Will Be Allocate
Latest step by the University to
meet the enrollment crisis is tem-
porary classrooms.
Plans for a two-story tempor-
ary classroom building, with 32
classrooms and 4,300 square feet
of laboratory space, to be built
here at federal expense, were an -
nounced yesterday by Plant Su-
perintendent Walter Roth.
The .building, to be erected on
E.Washington between the Health
Service and the University laun-
dry, is expected to relieve some of
the demand on classroom space
by the University's unprecedented
enrollment.
University officials expect the
building to be completed for the
fall term. The contractors plan
to start work on the foundation
this week.
One-story Warehouse
Construction of a one-story
warehouse on Glen Drive, near
the University's coal sidings, is
planned as part of the same pro-
ject. The warehouse will be 218
feet in length and 52 feet wide.
The cost of grading and other
preparation of the sites will be
the only expense of the project
to the University.
The classroom building will
accommodate 900 students and is
intended for use only until suf-
ficient permanent facilities are
available. Floor space will total
13,000 square feet.
Salvage Lumber
Salvage lumber, obtained from
wartime projects in Illinois, will
be used for the interior of the
classroom building. Both this
building and the warehouse will
have heavy timber framework and
asbestos board exteriors. The roof
trusses will be shipped already as-
sembled.
Construction will be in the
hands of the Federal Public Works
Administration. The project is
part of a program, planned by the
federal education department, to
provide assistance to educational
institutions faced with serious ov-
ercrowding of facilities.
Young Mene
Get; Waiter
All Tied Up
By deciding that two ties in two
days are too many, two young Ann
Arbor men have at last solved the
mystery of their vanishing ward-
robe.
The men, Ray Greuzke and
Lewis Horvath, have for two weeks
been seeking an explanation for
the gradual disappearance of most
of the clothing from their room at
353 S. Main. Thursday night they
visited a downtown restaurant,
and had a good laugh about how
much a tie dangling from the neck
of one of the waiters resembled
one of their own.
They returned to the same res-
taurant the next night, however,
and did not laugh when they saw
the same waiter sporting another
very familiar cravat. Instead, they
became suspicious and phoned
police.
Upon arrival of detectives, it was
discovered that the waiter, Stanley
Ashcraft, was also a roomer at 353
S. Main. He soon confessed to]
stealing the clothing, waived ex-
amination, and was bound over to
Circuit Court for trial.

Jacee chapter plans to purchase a
squawker and present it to police
for accident prevention work.
The squawker has caused a lot
of red faces around town in its
first week of operation. Several
minions of the law were even
caught in traffic violations dur-
ing the vehicle's first tour of duty.
The squawker blared forth a rep-
rimand at a shiny black auto mak-
ing a turn without signaling,
later discovering that the auto
was driven by city police detec-
tives.
The Jadee-sponsored traffic
safety project is part of a program
started last fall. At that time two
cars piloted by Jacee members
cruised around town demonstrat-
ing the right and the wrong ways
to drive. The program attracted
considerable attention and police
have used photographs depicting
the right and wrong ways to drive
in giving driver's tests.
The traffic safety vehicle will be
purchased from proceeds of "The
Late George Apley," Civic Theatre
play to be sponsored by Jacees May
12 to 17. The vehicle will be used
to prevent accidents before they
happen, according to Jacees. It
will be equipped with a permanent
public address system and a two-
way radio. In addition to traffic
safety duties, the squawker may
be used to control crowds, or may
be pressed into service as a squad
car by police.
