LVII, No. 150 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1947 PRICE FIVE CENTS 'U' Assumes Management Of Cafeteria Will Follow Plan Of Union, League By BEN ZWERUING Operation of the West Lodge cafeteria and snack bar was as- sumed by the University last night, almost two months ahead of the previously announced effective date. The action came at 7 p.m. when the two Willow Village eating places were closed for an inventory check and alternations. They will remain closed until Thursday morning. Shiel Explains Plan Francis Shiel, business manager for the resident halls, who made the announcement, said that the Willow Run food service "will fol- low, as far as feasible, that in prac- tice at the Michigan Union and the League, which are also under Uni- versity management." The cafe- teria had been operated for more than a year by Noel Burns and Edward Onifke, on a concession from the University. Service in the cafeteria, in re- gard to food quality and prepara- tion, cleanliness and cost had long constituted a major bone of con- tention among Village residents. Complaints Initiate Action There were complaints regis- tered last fall which were brought to the attention of University au- thorities by the Village AVC, who in turn brought it to the attention of. the operators. And a survey conducted last month by the AVC revealed that the residents were still very much dissatisfied with the cafeteria. An 11-man committee headed by William A. Klein III compiled, from their fellow Villagers, a list of grievances which were submit- ted to the University authorities. The University itself had sent a representative to investigate as well. Finally, it was announced that the University would take over the cafeteria on June 30. AVC Approves Move, First reactions came last night f ren Walt Hoffman, chairman of the local AVC chapter, who ex- pressed gratification with the move. "I'm sure I speak for the bulk of the tenants here when I say "well done." We in the Village have long felt that our only convenient eat- ing place should be on a par with those in Union and the League and we're gratified that we've now got such a cafeteria," Hoffman said. City Council, Studies Taxi Fare Chan e A proposed change in city taxi cab fares was introduced last night before a regular session of the Ann Arbor City Council. The plan would establish def- inite taxi zones with a corres- ponding scale of inter-zonal rates. The matter was referred to com- mittee for report at a later date. The Council also voted to order three new traffic lights which will be installed in the campus area. One will be placed at South Uni- versity and East University, one at South State and North Univer- sity, and one at South University and South State in front of the Union. The proposal of a local builder to construct 60 new steel prefab- ricated houses in the northwest section of the city was discussed and a committee of Councilmen was appointed to visit Middletown, Ohio to inspect one of these new- type homes. The Council appointed Prof. Laylin K. James of the law school to succeed Prof. O.1 W. Stephen- son of the education school as a member of the police commission.

UN .Assembly Floor Denied Jewish Agency Refer Hearings To Political Committee NEW YORK, May 5--()-The United Nations Assembly by over- whelming majorities late today de- nied the privilege of its floor to the Jewish Agency for Palestine but ordered its key political com- mittee to give the agency a hear- ing. The special Palestine Assembly climaxed four days of wrangling on Jewish representation with these decisions: 1. Voted 39 to 8, with seven ab- sentions and one absence, to reject a Russian-backed proposal grant- ing the agency the right to present its case from the floor of the as- sembly. 2. Voted 44 to 7, with three ab- stentions and one absence, to di- rect its political committee to hear the agency "on the question before the committee," and to send to that committee for its decision ,)ther communications received from organizations relating to Palestine. Lester B. Pearson, of Canada, 'hairman of the political commit- tee, immediately called his group to meet tomorrow morning at Lake Success to begin actual work on setting up a committee of inquiry on Palestine. The Jewish Agency had no com- ment. However, it made its first presentation by distribution of a book of documents which the agency said related "to the estab- lishment of the-national home for the Jewish people" from the Bal- four Declaration in 1917 down to the present. The Baf our Declaration was the irst promise of the British to use their best endeavors to facilitate, the creation of a national home for Jews in Palestine. British Searh For Escapees JERUSALEM, May 5 - (/P) - Palestine police manned gun- bristling road blocks tonight all the way from Acre eastward to the Green Plains where the River Jor- dan flows, in search of more than 180 convicts reported still at large from explosion-shattered Acre Prison. British soldiers were withdrawn at nightfall from the gigantic man-hunt, covering the northern1 third of the Holy Land, after their day-long dragnet had failed toz trap more than a handful of thef fugitives. However, police armored pa-1 trols and horsemen continued to comb highways and towns in the vicinity of Acre, Nazareth, Galli- lee and the peaceful woodlands ofz the North.

To Discipline Local Unions Chicago Groups To Be Censored By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 5-Stand- ing firm on its wage demands with the nationwide telephone strike in its fifth week, the National Fed- eration of Telephone Workers to- night mapped disciplinary action against two Chicago affiliates which accepted $4 weekly increas- es. Meanwhile Federal conciliators pinned their hopes for a settle- ment onenew wage offers they ex- pect Bell System companies to make. The NFTW policy committee gave no details of the proposed disciplinary action beyond saying that it was discussed. However Joseph A. Beirne, Pres- ident, told newsmen he will rec- ommend to the June convention in Miami Beach, Fla., that the heads of the two unions be ex- pelled. They are Richard W. Long, President of the Federation of Telephone Clerks of Illinois, and Edwin R. Hackett, President of the Commercial Telephone Workers Union. 'Strong As Ever' Beirne declared the strike is "just as strong as ever." He add- ed that "the fact that some people signed agreements and then had the audacity to cross picket lines and call themselves union leaders does not dent the solidarity of the NFTW." In Chicago, Long said in a state- ment: "For three weeks the Fed- eration of Telephone Clerks of Ill- inois followed Joe Beirne cf the blind alley of national bargaining and last week he publicly an- nounced that all unions could bar- gain locally with their own Bell companies. Protest NFTW Action "We did so honestly and above board as he directed. We arrived at a settlement on a local basis. The membership accepted. Now, we are traitors. Frankly, we are fed up' with the amateur bung- ling of President Joseph Beirne with the livesofn300,000 telephone workers." Hackett was not immediately available for comment, The NFTW seeks a $6 weekly' pay increase. The Federal conciliators hoped for new offers from two key com- panies of the Bell system.

A decision onI the shift was pending. See .Possi le jWorl1dKS taIte Deble Necessity Although Professors Howard M Ehrman and Preston W.

This action follows by one month the favorable decision of the School of Education, which voted April 30 to adopt a two-year program for four hours of aca- demic credit. The literary college faculty also met yesterday, but did not dis- cuss the proposals. Assistant Dean Walter Em- mons of the engineering college said that three main objections prompted the faculty to vote unfavorably. Most important of all, he declared, was the fact that no satisfactory schedules could be worked out which would be in harmony with the extensive afternoon and even- ing laboratory sessions now re- quired by the engineering de- partments. Another drawback, he declared, was the difficult position in which such a program would place the many students who must take part-time work outside school to finance their college education. Whe hours devoted to physical ed- ucationwould come on top of the great amount of time, arleady spent on classes, studying, and their work, he added. In the third place, Dean Em- inons said, if the college gave credit for the physical education courses taken by its students, the hours required for graduation would have to be increased pro- portionately. "In general," he said, "the engineering college faces a much more difficult problem than do the other schools in trying to adopt such a physical educa- tion program as has been pro-' posed." Any action by the literary col- lege in regard to the program in the near future appears a din prospect. Dean Hayward Keni- ston declared yesterday that a decision will "probably not be made for the rest of the semester." A motion was passed at the fac- ulty meeting last month to post- pone action on the program "in- deffilitely." Dean Keniston said that at the time the faculty was "not in a position to make any definite proposals." The proposed three-year phy- ;iciAl education plan is the re- suit of two years' work by a spe- cijal committee established by Athletic Director H. O. Crisler in 1944. Headed by J. Kenneth Do- herty and Laurie E. Campbell, the committee made its recommenda- tions early in 1945. ROBERT KOPPITCH SONYA DREWS MJEDICAL SATIRE: Cercle Francais Will Present Moliere Comedy-Ballet Today, Le Cercle Francais will present the annual French play, Moliere's comedy-ballet, "Le Malade Imagi- naire" at 8:30 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.

Kcella of the romance language department, the play is Moliere's most virulent satire, and deals with the medical practices and inade- quacies of the seventeenth cen- tury. Argan, the leading role, was first played, by Judge Robert M. Toms of Detroit, who is now con- ducting Nuremberg Nazi criminal Campu s Men, Barbers Meet On Race Issue Members of six campus organi- zations will meet with officers of the Ann Arbor Barbers' Union May 15 to discuss the question of dis- crimination against Negroes in local barber shops, Carroll Little, president of Inter-Racial Associa- tion, announced yesterday. Little will be joined by Lorne Cook, chairman of the campus AVC, Walt Hoffman, chairman of the Willow Village AVC, Morton Leitson, chairman of the Univer- sity chapter of the National Law- yers' Guild, Lyman Legters, presi- dent of SRA, and Milt Freuden- heim, editorial director of The Daily, in an inquiry into the un- ion's alleged "gentleman's agree- ment" by which Negroes are not served. "Such an agreement is contrary to the Michigan Civil Rights Act," Little said, "and individual of- fenders may be prosecuted. But we feel that approaehing the matter by way of the conference table, in- stead of law suits, will involve less inimical and antagonistic conse- quences." According to Little, Negro resi- dents of Ann Arbor and students are limited to a Negro-managed barber shop on Ann St. The shop is also patronized by whites, he said. Little said he had been trying to arrange a meeting with the Bar- bers' Union since early December. He added, however, that he be- lieves "it augurs well that in these turbulent times of 'red hysteria' there are still a few people who are willing to sit around the confer- ence table and attempt to resolve their differences." trials, and will be played tonight by Robert Koppitch, veteran of four other French production.

Labor Agency, Security Office Granted Funds House Committee Slashes Large Bill By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 5-With an economy coalition in control, the Senate tonight passed a Labor Department-Federal S e c u r i t y Agency appropriation totalling $1,676,198,080-or about $100,000,- 000 less than President Truman asked. The bill, which is $8,388,000 less than the House voted, now goes to a Senate-House Conference Com- mittee where differences will be ironed out. The funds are to finance the two agencies for the fiscal year starting July 1. The Senate action was on a voice vote. Earlier in the day, the House Appropriations Committee whack- ed $162,893,515, or 23 percent, off the President's budget for the State, Commerce and Justice De- partments and the Federal Courts. Senate approval of the other measure had slapped down a ser- ies of amendments to increase funds for Labor Delartment agen- cies. More than 90 percent of the to- tal in this bill is made up of bene- fit payments and grants to the states for such purposes as rail- road retirement, old age assist- ance, aid to children and the blind, unemployment compensation and vocational rehabilitation. The Senate approved appropria- tion of $79,862,900 for the depart- ment of Labor. This is a cut f $10,001,300 under the amount au- thorized by the House and is $23,- 817,391 less than was requested in the President's budget. In approving the bill, the Sen- ate struck out a House-approved provision which would have de- nied further pay to Director Ed- gar L.'Warren of the Labor De- partment Conciliation Service. In the Senate's first major test of the year on the issue of slash- ing expenditures, the chamber de- feated, 57 to 23, an attempt by Senator McCarran (Dem., Nev.) to restore funds cut out of the Sec- retary of Labor's appropriation, The House Appropriations Com- mittee, in sharply cutting the oth- er large bill, declared a 22 percent reduction for the State Depart- ment, including complete elimin- ation of the "Voice of America" broadcasts and all other parts of the Department's foreign cultural relations program. Acting quickly, Secretary of State Marshall and Walter Bedell Smith, U. S. Ambassador to Rus- sia, joined the personal pleas to more than a score of congression- al leaders of both parties to keep the "Voice of America" speaking, particularly to Soviet Russia. Legislators who heard Marshall at a closed conference at the State Department quoted him as saying his experience at the Moscow For- eign Ministers Conference con- firmed. his judgment that the ov- erseas broadcasts are important to American foreign policy, Pulitzer Pre A warded A NEW YORK, May 5-/P)-Eddy Gilmore, Associated Press foreign correspondent who is chief of the Moscow Bui'eau, won one of the eight annual Pulitzer Journalism prizes announced today - the award for distinguished tele- graphic reporting in international affairs.
