'U'BudgetBill
Passes House
Unanimously
Measure Allots
Full $ 8570,000
The State House of Representa-
tives last night approved by unani-
mous vote a bill appropriating
$8,570,000 to the University for
operating expenses during the
1947-48 fiscal year, the Associated
Press reported from Lansing.
The bill, which provides the full
amount requested by the Univer-
sity, now goes to the Senate.
Will Adjourn June 6
Both the Senate and House
agreed to adjourn June 6 and
thereby killed all bills which were
not out of the house of origin as of
yesterday.
The Senate bill appropriating
$3,200,000 to the University for
building construction was passed
and sent to the House Thursday.
The House yesterday also ap-
proved an appropriation of $6,-
112,221 for the 1947-48 operating
budget of Michigan State College.
Vote 58 per cent of Total
The $8,570,000 voted the Ui-
versity by the House represents 58
per cent of the University's total
educational budget for 1947-48.
Student fees will provide 40 per
cent, or $5,750,000, and the re-
maining two per cent, or $438,000,
will be derived from federal land
grants and miscellaneous sources.
University budget estimates for
next year are based on an antici-
pated enrollment of 20,500.
The House yesterday also passed
a bill increasing the state mark-
up on liquor to permit recapture
of the expired 10 per cent liquor
tax passed for local government.

F.B.I. Intimidation
Claimed by Defense
GREENVILLE, S. C., May 16-
(/P)-The death-agonies of Negro
Willie Earle, victim of a South
Carolina lynch-mob, were told
and re-told in Greenville County
Criminal Court today as the pros-
ecution read the last of 26 state-
ments which have implicated 31
defendants in the brutal number.
As the State neared conclusion
of its case against the accused
white men, the defense fought de-
terminedly to establish two points.
These were: (1) That the state-
ments were obtained after arrest
by agents of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation who threatened
prosecution in United States Dis-
trict Court, and (2) That local of-
ficers told suspects if a large num-
ber acknowledged participation, no
South Carolina jury would con-
vict them.
City, county, and state police
officers and the FBI have rejected
these suggestions, and declared the
incriminating statements were
freely made.
Twenty-eight of the 31 defend-
ants are taxi-drivers, and evidence'
thus far estimated at least three
are illiterate, another went to
school through the second grade,
still another had only three years

To Begin Festivities
The 1947 edition of Lantern

All women on campus may par-
ticipate in the parade which will
proceed around the main portion
of the campus to the mall between
the League and Hill Auditorium.
The University Marching Band
will lead the procession, marching
from Harris Hall to meet the

The procession will terminate on
the mall where a block M will be

Ask Censorship Cut
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., May 16
-(EP)-The United States proposed
tonight that the United Nations
consider world-wide elimination
of censorship.
nywhere in the world would cOn
stiti I e an act of war.
Di. cussing implicatio,, on ediu-
of' the lter~ry clege -aerted t ha,
ti probles faced in a atomic
age cannot be solved merely by
clarity of thinking and increased
knowledge, but by "men and wom
en of good will" who are not serv-
ing narrow interests and cheap pa-t
triotism; but will ma de pubhe weli
fare their goal.
Social Relationsc
The necessity of "getting aloi
with your neighbor" was stressed
by Prof. Frank. L. 1Utntley of the
English department in a discus-
sion of social relations. "We are
given only a short time to begin to
live by tcal principles (f
getting along withi fellowen
which have been laid down for us
by great thinkers of the past," tic
said.
Prof. Harold M. Dorr of the po-
litical science department, speak-
ing on government, noted marked
tendencies toward consOlidation
and concentration. An atomic age,
he said, will necessitate more gov-
errnment by admlin istrdatve ai d
less by legislative and judiciary
branches of government.
Foreign Relations
Describing the picture in the
foreign relations field as "pessi-
mistic," Prof. Lawrence Preuss of
the political science department,
said there is little hope for any im-
mediate settlement of the prob-
lem of international control of
the atom bomb, because Russia in-
sists on a plan which provides no
means of enforcement.
Prof. Gardner Ackley of the eco-
nomics department declared that
the American economy must be
remoulded to remove economic
causes of international conflict,
and to promote free trade, full em-
ployment, and an easy flow of fo
eign investment.
Civil Liberties
Speaking on implications on
civil liberties, Prof. Wesley H.
Maurer of the journalism depart-
ment said that a monopoly of
atomic energy has influenced na-
tional thinking by weakening faith
in other peoples, by changing plans
for peace to plans for war, by giv-
ing the United States a power
never before felt, and by strength-
ening American insistence on the
sovereign right of nations to de-
clare war.
Dr. Franklin H. Littell, director
of the Student Religious Associa-
tion, asserted that the "only guar-
antee worth making" is immedi-
ate and authoritative interna-
tional action to control the atomic
bomb. "The sooner we can stir
this up," he said, "the better our
fighting chances are."
Final Session Today
The third and final sessions of
the parley will be held at 3 p.m.
and 8 p.m. today in the Union.
Panels on religion, economics, and
a combined panel on civil liber-
ties and social relations, led by
faculty members and students, will
compose the third session. Stu-
dents may attend all panels.
At the final session, panels will
make reports, and an opportunity
for further general discussion and
questions will be offered.

PI CE FIVE CENTS
Regular Navy
Bdgtt et Slash
Is Proposed
Rlesearchi Funds
Left hta by Bill
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 16-The
House Appropriations Committee
charted an economy course for the
Navy today which would slash its
total funds by I1 per cent but give
it every penny it asked for the
research and for its reserve force.
The budget cut would entail a
possible reduction of 40,000 in the
strength of the Navy and the Ma-
rine Corps, the dismissal of hun-
dreds of civilian employes and a
hutdown of some shore establish-
ments, among other economies.
Goes to House
The committee sent to the House
floor for debatenext week a $3-
135,48 1,100 appropriation bill to
finance the Navy for the fiscal
year starting July 1. The total is
$377,519,200 less than President
Pruman requested in new funds
ind $1,197,300,841 below what the
Navy had this year.
However, the Navy actually will
have $3,469,761,100 at its disposal
during the new year if the House
follows the committee's recom-
nendation to approve $170,000,000
a contract authority and the
transfer of $164,280,000 from other
navy funds.
Continue Conversion
Sone of the fund transfers will
>ermit the Navy to go ahead with
i three-year program for, con-
verting destroyers, submarines and
>ther ships for new types of un-
dersea warfare and for Arctic
aperation. It includes plans for
what Vice Adm. R. B. Carney
:alled a "killer ship" costing $27,-
140,000 and capable of coping with
the fastest, most modern subma-
cine under any conditions.
The House committee called for
z seven per cent reduction in the
$1,344,171,000 requested for Navy
,ay and subsistence and a slightly
treater cut in the $209,000,000 for
marine pay and subsistence.
If the seven per cent cut were
ipplied uniformly, it would require
i reduction of 30,000 naval and
3,300 marine enlisted men and
3,200 naval and 525 marine of-
'icers.
All Out' for Research
The committee went "all out"
or research and aviation, approv-
ng the full $34,400,000 requested
or the former and granting $170,-
)00,000,000 in contract authority
md $90,000,000 in cash for new
>Ianes and equipment.
In the matter of research, it
;aid, it chose to "err on the side
)f liberality" to give the Navy
very chance to develop new and
nore efficient ships and weapons.

'Gets Tough'
Newman Acts to Stop
Food Shortage Riots
BERLIN, May 16- (R)--The
American Military Governor of
Hesse told the German people
tonight that the death penalty
will be' invoked if necessary to
lurb disturbances stemming from
protests over the shortage of food.
In the sternest language since
the end of the war, Dr. James R.
Nfewman warned the German peo-
pie in an address prepared for
radio delivery that he was ready
to use American occupation troops
to "search all places and seize and
confiscate food stuffs" if food
hoarding continued.
He said he would implement a
German program of "no work-
no rations" for "parasites and
loafers."
Dr. Newman deleted from his
prepared text a statement that he
might invoke complete marWl law
"unless the attitude of the peo-
ple improves," but he asserted
flatly that any German acting
against "occupational require-
ments or programs" would risk a
death sentence.
