Shortage of
RuralDoctors
Mel School Ilan
r SttIn al
The University Medical School
yesterday announced a new pro-
gram designed to end the present
scarcity of doctors in small towns
and rural communities in Michi-
gan.
The postgraduate program, an-
nounced by ean Albert C. Furs-
tenberg, will encourage more doc-
tors to turn to the field of gen-
eral practice instead of specializ-
ing in a particular field of medi-
cine. The program will get under
way in the fall.
Under provisions of the new
plan, hospitals throughout the
state may become affiliated with
the Medical School to provide a
two-year postgraduate training
program for interns.
'General Residents'
Two interns in residence at hos-
pitals affiliated with the program
will be classified as "general resi-
dents" rather than as interns in
specific departments. These gen-
eral residents will be taught gen-
eral skills in pediatrics, obstetrics,
medicine and surgery. They will
iot be trained as specialists in
any particular branch, but will
acquire the broad background nee-
essary for a general practitioner.
During this period of general
training, the interns will be sent
to the University Medical School
for a six-month general course in
the basic sciences.
Explains Program
In explaining the purpose of the
new program, Dean Furstenberg
declared, "The program will fill
a great need since there are very
few recognized two-year programs
offered by hospitals to equip a
doctor for general practice."
Outlining four advantages of
the new plan, Dean Furstenberg
said it is expected to attract more
students to the general practice
of medicine. He declared that the
plan would be an inspiration to
present country doctors who feel
that their field may have been
overlooked in the increasing em-
phasis on tr ain in g specialists.
Standards of medical care in
smaller hospitals will be raised
and a better distribution of med-
ical care will be realized, Dean
Furstenberg said.

Citizens To Vote At
November Election
LANSING, May 22-()-Michi-
gan's voters will be asked to ex-
press themselves for a second time
on the sales tax diversion amend-
ment at the November, 1948, elec-
tions.
The House, by a 72 to 25 vote,
today concurred in a Senate-ap-
proved resolution to put the ques-
tion on the ballot.
The House approved the same'
proposal last February by a 71 to
24 vote but the Senate kept it from
the spring election by sending it
back to committee. This week the
Senate unexpectedly dug out the
measure and amended it to place
the question on the 1948 ballot.
Earlier in the year Governor

Sigler advocated another vote on
the amendment, to give one-third
of the sales tax to the cities and
towns, as one means of settling the
State's financial problems. Its
death in the Senate marked a
major defeat for the Governor.
Rep. Andrew Bolt, Grand Rapids
Republican, contended the sales
tax diversion was the mandate of
the people and should be followed
without further argument, while
Rep. Howard R. Carroll, Mt.
Clemens Republican, said that the
State needed more of a general
constitutional revision rather than
a second vote on the sales tax
amendment.
Rep. M. Bushnell Trembley,
Flint Republican, told the House
that "we have taken a lot away
from the cities and if this carries
they will be in the worst shape
they ever were in."1

Battle of Jazz Waxes
Hot in Record Society
Mouldy Figs and Be-Boppers Lock Horns

Although there's been no blood shed so far, it's time folks knew
that the Mouldy Fwis and the Be-Boppers are a-feudin' right here

For the benefit, of those ignorant in the ways of jazz, these are
two opposing factions in the Hot Record Society, a group of jazz
enthusiasts who meet every Sunday night in the Hussey Room of

VA Charges
Fraud, Error
InGI Benefits
Subsistence Hike
To Tie Reques(l
By The Asociated Press
WASHINGTON, May 22 -The
Veterans Administration made "a
rough guess" today that 200,000
World War II veterans, fraudu-
lently or through error, have
cashed in on unemployment or
subsistence benefits not due them.
By coincidence, the report came
as Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers
(Rep., Mass.), chairman of the
House Veterans Committee, an-
nounced that a subcommittee
soon will recommend a boost in
the subsistence allowance of vet-
erans going to school under the
G.I. Bill of Rights.
Penalties Provided
A Veterans Administration
spokesman said that the more se-
ious cases of suspected cheating
have been turned over to U S. at-
torneys for prosecution.
Penalties provided by law range
from loss of all veterans benefits
to fines 'and imprisonment. How-
ever, some judges are said to have
been extremely lenient and one
case was cited of a group of vet-
erans getting off with little more
than a lecture-a one-day proba-
tion,
Most violations were said to be:
1. Collection of unemployment
compensation by veterans who
have jobs or by veterans who are
attending school and in many in-
stances drawing educational sub-
sistence allotments.
2. Collection of both state and
federal unemployment benefits.
Asks Increases
Mrs. Rogers told the House
Rules Committee that amounts
now paid veterans attending col-
lege are so low as to discourage
some of them from entering the
program.
She said that the bill due for
subcommittee approval would
would raise the subsistence given
an unmarried G. I. student from
$65 to $75 a month. The boost for'
a married one would be from $90
to $110, with $15 extra for each
child. The estimated extra cost is
$149,000,000.
Officials Say
Lynch Trial
Is 'Trogress'
GREENVILLE, S.C., May 22-
(-Grim satisfaction prevailed
in the nearby textile communities
today over mass-acquital of 28
white men accused of lynching a
South Carolina Negro - but some
Greenville leaders said the trial,
itself, was "progress."
One public official, who declined
to be quoted directly, said soberly:
"This was the first time that South
Carolina has brought mass-mur-
der charges against alleged lynch-
ers. The jury acquitted them. If
there should be another case, per-
haps we may get a mistrial with
a hung-jury. Eventually, the South
may return convictions."
Degree of Progress
John Breamlett, prominent at-
torney, said: "The fact that a
local grand jury returned 31 in-

dictments, and that the state was
enabled to try this case, repre-
sents a degree of progress."
One well-known attorney, whose
firm refused to represent the de-
fendants, said most people ap-
peared to feel satisfaction with
the verdict. But, he added, "There
are a number of us who feel pro-
found shame."
Display Indifference
Along the textile belt-line, in
Judson, Woodside, Riverside and
American Spinning Mill commun-
ities, the reaction was: "So what?
So they turned them loose. It was
right, by law and justice."
Greenville, generally, displayed
indifference. While students at
Wofford College in nearby Spar-
tanburg paraded in protest of the
acquittals, reaction in Greenville
was largely relief that the na-
tion's greatest lynch-trial was
over.

Border Watch
Is Given Vote
Of Confidence
UN Defeats Russians'
Move To Curb Group
LAKE SUCCESS, May 22-()-
The United Nations Security
Council late today gave a major-
ity vote of confidence to a border
watch group it has stationed in
northern Greece.
By a vote of 6 to 2, the Council
defeated a Russian proposal which
would have curbed the powers of
the UN sub-commission and or-
dered it to move from Salonika to
Athens.
Call for Restriction
Only Russia and Poland voted
for the resolution. Australia, Bel-
gium, Brazil, the United States,
Britain and China opposed it. Co-
lombia, France and Syria ab-
stained. A majority of seven is re-
uired to carry a proposal in the
Security Council.
Before the vote, Russia, Poland
and three Soviet Balkan satellites
called on the council to restrict
the scope of the sub-commission
which is presently organizing for
work along Greece's northern bor-
der.
11-Nation Commission
The Council last December or-
dered an 11-nation commission
to investigate border troubles along
Greece's northern line. In April
the council adopted a United
States resolution for a subsidiary
group to remain in the area until
the Council acted on the commis-
sion's report. The commission was
expected to bring its report here
from Geneva by June 9.
The commission on April 29 set
up the subsidiary group and gave
it the same orders given by the
Security Council last December.
Albania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria
declined to send liaison represen-
tatives to the sub-commission.
The United States and other
countries on the council charged
those nations with refusal to coop-
erste with the council and with
defiance of the United Nations.

Wallace- Talkc
On Sidewalk
College Denies Use
Of Speaking Facilities
BERKELEY, Calif., May 22-(P)
-Henry Wallace wound up a
three-day speaking appearance in
the San Francisco Bay area today
with a sidewalk talk to a police-
estimated 15,000 University of
California students and Berkeley
townspeople.
Laughter greeted his opening
remark, thanking Berkeley "for
the use of your sidewalk." Wallace
was denied campus speaking fa-
cilities by the university, and his
impromptu appearance was in re-
sponse to student efforts.
"I want Russia to make a tre-
mendous success of communism
in Russia," he said. "I want, fur-
ther, the fairest type of social de-
mocracy to make a tremendous
success in Western Europe. And I
want to see us make a tremen-
dous success of capitalistic democ-
racy in the United States."
Wallace was scheduled to de-
part late today for Seattle in a
continuation of his transcontinen-
tal speaking tour.
Germans Get
American Food
BERLIN, May 22--(I)-Part of
a fleet of 116 ships from America
unloaded food in German ports to-
day and U. S. economists predicted
American taxpayers would have
to foot a $750,000,000 bill in 1948
for feeding 46,000,000 hungry
Germans in the British-American
zones.
Col. Hugh B. Hester, chief of the
food and agricultural branch of
the American Military Govern-
ment, declared he believed the
peak of the food crisis in western
Germany had passed. He said
gradual but substantial improve-
ment was expected between now
and the next harvest.
Port officials in Bremen said
at least five ships were discharg-
ing cargoes of grain and flour
there and others were unloading
at Hamburg and Emden.

draw up a schedule to be present-
ed to the committee for approval
at their May 27 meeting. The gen-
eral plan is to group drives wher-
ever possible according to the areas
which they benefit--campus, Ann
Arbor, national and international,
according to Jean Gringle, Legis-
lature committee chairman.
The feeling is that a smaller
number of drives will be a con-
venience todthe students and
that, grouped together, the drives
will be as much, if not more, of a
financial success to the individ-
ual organizations, she said.
The meeting, originally sched-
uled today, has been changed to
4 p.m. Monday in Rmn. 308 of the
Union to allow ample time for con-
tacting all the groups involved
and to give the organizations
enough time to do any necessary
research, she said.
Miss Gringle emphasizedthe
necessity of having representatives
from every soliciting group at the
meeting. After approval by the
Student Affairs Committee, groups
not scheduled on the official cal-
endar will not be allowed to spon-
sor fund drives on campus during
the 1947-48 school year.
U' Workers
Ask Apology
Allege Racist Insults
Directed At Employe
Fifty-five Negro and white
workers at the University Hospital
yesterday petitioned Dr. A. C'.
Kerlikowske, director, to demand
the resignation or apology of
Charles Ballentine, medical stu-
dent and part-time employe, be-
cause of alleged profane and hu-
miliating language directed at
Mrs. Leatrice Murray, an elevator
operator, last Monday.
Alleging that Ballentine uttered
profanity and racist remarks be-
fore Mrs. Murray when an eleva-
tor, in use at the time, was not im-
mediately available for him, the
workers have demanded that Bal-
lentine apologize to eight colored
operators or resign.
P. J. Olin, personnel director,
speaking for Dr. Kerlikowske, said
a meeting between Ballentine and
Mrs. Murray wig. be held today
and that any decisions will be
based on facts disclosed at the
meeting.
The alleged insult, which re-
duced Mrs. Murray to tears, opera-
tors said, had been preceded by
other similar incidents involving
Ballentine which were passed off
without comment. Humiliated
Mrs. Murray wanted to leave im-
mediately, but she was induced tc
continue working by Ray Collins
elevator supervisor, who cited the
shortage of hospital help and the
need for elevator service.
