Held For Study By Hhe Associated Press LANSING, May 14-A bill to impose more than $18,000,000 in state excise taxes or. tobacco was all that was left in the Senate to- day of a promising republican pro- gram to raise more than $40,000,- 000 in new revenues to balance state's budget. The tobacco tax, an expanded, cigarette tax, was passed by an . 18 to 10 vote in the Seate today as a means of financing the veter- ans' bonus. l Shrinking then from further tax levies, the Senate sent back to its taxation committee a bill to double the tax on beer and defeat- ed 14 to 16 a bill to reduce the liquor discounts allowed bars from 15 to 10 per cent and permit the state to regain the 10 per cent special liquor tax imposed for lo- cal government. The latter was placed on the table then, whence it may be lifted again. F Senator James T. Milliken, tax- ation Committee chairman, assert- ed neither measure could be con- sidered dead. * * * UAW Blasts Tobacco Tax DETROIT, May 14 - (IP) - A majority of Michigan veterans "would rather return their bonus checks" to the State than pay for them through the proposed tax on tobacco, Emil Mazey, Director of the CIO United Auto Workers Veterans Department, said today. Mazey, in a letter of protest to Governor Sigler, declared the in- tent of the bonus to veterans was to show "the State's appreciation for the job they did while serving their country." "If this tax bill passes, the State will be guilty of making the vet- eran pay for his own bonus," Mazey said.

Senate Votes 350 Millions' ForReliefBill Rejects House Limit On Anmout By The Asocated Press WASHINGTON, May 14 -The Senate voted resoundingly today, 79 to 4, to grant the full $350,000,- S000 asked to relieve suffering abroad. It rejected a House plan to hold the sum of $200,000,000 and like- wise left out house-voted restric- tions on aid to communist domi- nated countries. The Senate bill does carry, how- eve, a requirement that the food and medicine be clearly shown to have come from the U.S.A. Senate-House Conference The legislation now goes to a Senate-Iuse Conference Com- mittee for adjustment of the dif- ferences. Besides the money dif- ference there is the House re- quirement that no aid go and any communist - dominated countries unless they agree to rigid U. S. supervision of the distribution of the relief. Countries to be aided are not named in the Senate bill but Secre- tary of State Marshall has said that the main bulk of relief will go to Austria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, China and Trieste. He said not more than $15,000,000 should be available to meet emer- gencies elsewhere. UNRRA's Work In undertaking the lone-handed relief, the United States will be taking up where the United Na- tions Relief and Rehabilitation Administration is leaving off. Un- der UNRRA, there were many complaints that relief was used for political purposes and that the heavy contributions of the Unit- ed States were sometimes credited elsewhere. Just before the vote on final passage, the Senate turned down by a 64 to 19 roll call vote Senator Kem's (Rep., Mo.) amendement which would have cut the amount to $200,000,000. Senator Vandenberg (Rep, Mich.), chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, told his col- leagues the smaller amount would not be sufficient to meet the ur- gent needs even in Greece, Italy and Austria.

Arabs Attack Soviet Design For Palestine IDemnand Bars Against Jewish Immigration By The Associated Press NEW YORK, May 14 - Soviet Russia called on the United Na- tions today for creation of an in- dependent Jewish-Arab govern- ment in Palestine. The Arabs immediately retorted that such a dual state would be impossible unless barriers were kept up against Jewis immigra- tion into the Holy Land. The Jewish agency for Palestine said it had no comment. Linking his suggestion with a vigorous attack on Britain's ad- ministration of the Palestine mandate, Deputy Foreign Min- ister Andrei A. Gromyko told the General Assembly that the only other acceptable solution would be partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab nations. The Arabs have opposed the partition. The Zionists have indi- cated acceptance of such a plan as a basis for discussion. The long Soviet speech touched off extended debate and retarded the weary Assembly on its drive toward adjournment. Before quit- ting the 55 delegates must approve a political committee plan for set- ting up and instructing an 11- nation investigation commission to report on the entire Holy Land problem. In the midst of the heated diesions, Norway brought forth a resolution calling on all parties to the Palestine problem to declare a truce for the dura- tion of UN deliberations. The move asked for parties to re- frain from "threat of force or any other action which might affect the problem." The truce plea came here as ex- plosions rocked areas in northern and southern portions of Pales- tine. Russia's address came as the Arab countries indicated they would give up their floor fight against the inquiry commission, which they insist should be spe- cifically instructed to consider in- dependence now. End Testimony In Gauss Case Briefs Presentation Delayed until May 22 Testimony was completed in the hearing of the Gauss Baking Com- pany versus Teamsters' Union case in Washtenaw Circuit Court yesterday, but counsels' presenta- tion of briefs was postponed until May 22. Gauss Baking Company had brought a court order to "show cause" why the Teamsters' Union should not be enjoined from "in- terfering with the business" of the company. The union threw a picket line around the company March 3 when driver salesmen refused to be organized by the union's De- troit representatives. Union representatives used threats and intimidation in an ef- fort to organize driver-salesmen, witnesses charged at the hearing. They alleged that Tom Brigla, president of the Bakery Drivers Union Local 51, threatened to jam a contract down their throats un- less they signed immediately. The union has caused the com- pany's business to drop 25 per cent, a Gauss official declared. Ruthven Says MYDA Ban Is Closed Matter Refers Legislature Plan for Accreditation Of Student Organization to Prof. Walter Although President Alexander G. Ruthven told Student Legis- lature representatives yesterday that the MYDA ban is a closed matter and that he had decided not to make any more statements on the- subject, he responded favorably to their proposal for a plan of ac- creditation for student organizations by referring them to Erich A. Walter, Director of the Office of Student Affairs.
