Twenty-two of Ann Arbor's 26 barber shops will not serve Negro Suder Ruthven
patrons, according to a Daily survey, and the reason given is that
"our customers wouldn't like it." WVill (,ive Talks
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 24-A fin-
al accord to end the long dispute
between the United States and
Argentina and clear the' way for
an Inter-American defense con-
ference is now generally expected
in Washington to be reached with-
in the fiext few weeks.
It may be marked by the re-
tirement from his post at Buenos
Aires of Ambassador George S.
Messersmith and the resignation
of Spruille Br'aden as assistant
secretary of state for Latin Amer-
ican affairs. The split between
them over the conduct of Argen-
tine relations has been wide and
bitter and both are believed ready
to quit when improvement in the
situation permits such action
gracefully.
Bosom Friendship
The apparently i mp en d in g
change in United States-Argen-
tine affairs does not necessarily
mean the beginning of an era of
bosom friendship between Buenos
Aires and Washington. American
officials are still suspicious of
what they regard as traditional
Argentine efforts to win leader-
ship- int Latin America at the ex-
pense of North American good
will.
The latest splash of interest in
the Argentine situation was caused
here today by the announcement
at Buenos Aires yesterday that
eight more Nazi agents had been
deported and that Argentina "now
considers she has satisfied all her
hemisphere obligations." The an-
Snouncement was made by Juan
Bramuglia, President Juan D. Per-
on's foreign minister.

Truman Says
Aged Mother
'Little Weaker'
GRANDVIEW, Mo. May 24-(R)
-President Truman reported to-
night that his mother was getting
weaker.
Returning to his hotel at Kan-
sas City from another trying day
at 94-year-old Mrs. Martha E.
Truman's bedside, the Chief Ex-
ecutive said he had talked several
times to his mother during the
long and anxious hours, but that
"she slept most of the time."
"She's just about the same," he
said, and he added, "there's not
much change."
Pausing, he told newsmen:
"She's a little weaker, if any-
thing."
He went hurrying to the elevator
leading to his apartment with the
assertion, "that is just about all I
can say."
The President planned to re-
main here indefinitely.
Willow Council
Head Resigns
William Stright Quits
Activities in Village
William Stright, former chair-
man of the Willow Village Plan-
ning Committee and temporary
president of the Village Council,
resigned yesterday, because his
activities "in behalf of the com-a
munity have imposed great hard-
ships upon my family."
Stright had long been active in
Village affairs, having served ast
chairman of the 10-cent fare com-
mittee which succeeded in allow-;
ing veterans to commute to De-
troit for 10 cents. He also found-
ed and edited the "'Willow Run-,
Around," village weekly.
The establishment of election
machinery for the recent Coun-
cil 'elections had involved .Stright
in a dispute with members of the
now defunct Planning Committee.
A report submitted to the Coun-
cil by six of the ten committee
members had charged Stright with
by-passing the group in setting up
machinery for the elections, hand-
ling petitions, preparing ballots
and counting votes._-

WASHINGTON, May 24-(AP)-
Secretary of State Marshall pinned
"urgent" tags today on four for-
eign affairs measures which have
made slow progress in Congress in
a drive to get them passed by June
30.
"All persons within the jurisdic-
tion of this state shall be entitled
to full and equal accommodations,
advantages, facilities and privi-
leges of . . . . barber shops . .."
("Diggs law" as amended in 1945) .
Two lNegro-operated shops, in
the downtown area, will serve any
customer, their proprietors said.
These are not members of the bar-
bers' association.
Proprietors interview were asked
the following questions:
1. "Do you have a policy against
serving Negroes?"
2. "Have you ever served a Ne-
gro in this shop?"
3. "Will you serve a Negro if he
comes into your shop?"
4. "Do you have any additional
comment on this subject?"
Complete reports of answers
The Daily received from proprie-
tors of Ann Arbor's 26 barber
shops follow:
The two barbers' association
members who have no policy
against serving Negroes are:
Michigan Union Barber Shop:
Union business manager Franklin
Kuenzel said, "The Union Bar-
ber Shop has no policy regarding
service as to race, color or creed."
Asked if the Union Barber Shop
has ever served a Negro, he replied,
"I don't know."
Lee's Barber Shop, E. Univer-
sity (opposite University High
School): Lee Mulhollen, proprie-
tor, said, "We don't want to serve
Negroes. We have served dark-
skinned boys, We would serve Ne-I
groes, since we can't refuse by
law."
The two Negro-operated shops
are:
Easley's Barber Shop, 115 E.
Ann: John Ea'sley, proprietor, said,j
"I'll wait on anyone, white or
Negro."
Wolverine Barber Shop, 209 N.

barber, said, "We serve anyone."
Ten additional barber shops
surveyed in the campus area are:
Church Street Barber Shop, 607
Church: Joe Shaltis, one of two
proprietors, said, "We never have
served a Negro." (Answer to ques-
tion No. 3): "Well, that's the ques-
tion. I don't know. He would
probably get a pretty rotten hair-
cut."
Dascola Barbers, 615 E. Liberty:
Dominic Dascola, proprietor, said,
"We have nothing definite as tot
policy. We have given some serv-
ice to Negroes, eg. shoe shines, but
not in the past year. If a Negro
came in, whether we would service
Week, the dedication program will

Army and Navy Display
The Navy will have five planes
on the ground, open for full in-
spection. The Army plans to have
a B-29 bombei and a P-80 pur-
suit ship on display but the pub-
lic will be unable to inspect the
interior of these craft. A number
of commercial planes will be in-
cluded in the exhibit.

-United Nations experts predict-

mended either a partition of the
Holy Land or an Arab-Jewish state
under the international trustee-

This prediction was made as the
UN investigation commission pre-

the Palestine problem.
One of its biggest initial deci-
sions will be whether to visit the
Jewish displaced persons camps of
Europe or confine its investigation

Prof. Brumm
Claims Group,
Is Discrimcinate
The Wood-Rankin Committee's
crusade has degenerated into an
intimidation of persons and groups
holding political views in dis-
agreement with the views of the
"inquisitorial body," Prof. John L.
Brumm of the journalism depart-
said yesterday.
He addressed the first state-
wide conference on academic free-
dom which brought delegates from
campuses, trade unions, veterans
organizations and religious groups
throughout the State.
Fear Complex
"A fear complex has revived a
witch-hunting crusade that may
prove to be a dangerous threat to
civil liberties generally," he said.
Initiated by the old Dies Commit-
tee, and now carried on by the
House of Representatives Commit-
tee on Un-American Activities,
Prof. Brumm said, "this crusade,
however legitimate its original
purpose, has degenerated into an
harassment and intimidation of
all sorts of persons and groups
whose social, economic and polit-
ical views meet with the disap-
p r o v a l of inquistorial body
He charged that the Committee
is "inquisitorial" b e c a u s e it
allows those whom it accuses "no-
opportunity to answer the charges
against them, no advice of counsel
and no knowledge of the source
of the charges.j
Corrupts Public Opinion
"This undemocratic procedure
is a menace," he said, "because it
corrupts public opinion and stig-
matizes any person who may ad-
vocate views and practices un-
acceptable to a group in no way
restricted by rules of evidence or
the right of defense.
TO WRITE BY-LAWS:
Executive Board Chosen IFor
Academic Freedom Group
By BEN ZWERLING
A twelve-man executive board, commissioned to devise a consti-
tution for the new Michigan Academic Freedom Committee, and to
set into motion the mechanics of the body, was elected yesterday by
101 delegates representing 48 organizations at a statewide conference
in Lane Hall.-
The board will present the constitution for ratification at a gen-
eral meeting to be held in the fall prior to October 31. As at yester-
day's conference, all duly constituted organizations !will be eligible
to attend.
Representing the University on the board are Prof. Preston Slos-
son of the history department, Lorne Cook, member of the University's
Council on Academic Freedom and chairman of the campus chapter
* * * Hof AVC, and Morton Rosenthal, a
student in e m b e r of Michigan
Youth for Democratic Action.
Remaining positions on the
board are held by delegates from
Wayne University, Adrian, Olivet,
Central Michigan 'and Michigan
State Colleges, the National Ne-
gro Congress, the Michigan Civil
Rights Congress, and the Young
Progressive Citizens of America.,
Draw Up Resolutions
The conference drew up a ser-
ies of resolutions defining and at-
tacking threats to academic free-
dom. Included was a condemna-
tion of the Callahan Bill, passed
by the State Senate and currently
awaiting action in the House of
Representatives. The Bill, pro-
viding for the registration and
outlawing of "foreign agencies'
I was construed by the delegates as
I by-passing due process of law.
The right of students and fac-
ulty members to join and partici-
pate in activities, on or off cam-
pus, of any legal organization was
upheld by the group. It was al-
leged that the political opinions,
present or past, of members did
not constitute grounds for any ac-
tion against them.
Calls for AYD Reinstatement
Affirming the right of students
to free speech and assembly, the
Committee called for the rein-
statement of the American Youth
for Democracy on campuses where
it had been barred and the aboli-
tion of the Callahan Committee.
Academic freedom, in its
"broader" aspect, as defined at
the conference, involves the
"right, recognized under all lib-
eral governments, for any person
peacefully to advocate any opin-
ion or support any public policy
which does not amount to an in-
citement to crime or violence.
This is the supposition underlying
our national and state constitu-
tions . . . but some hold it does
not apply to professors or students
Cornerstone

Building Laid
Microfil Tel s
School's History
By CLIFF ROGERS
In an impressive ceremony yes-
terday afternoon, the cornerstone
for the new School of Business Ad-
ministration Building was laid by
Dean Russell A. Stevenson,
Officials participating in the
ceremony, latest step in the Uni-
versity's multi-m i11i o n dollar
building program, were President
Alexander G. Ruthven, who pre-
sided, Provost James P. Adams,
speaker for the occasion, and Dean
Stevenson.
Microfilm History
Highlighting the proceedings
was the placing in the corner-
stone of a sealed box containing
a reel of microfilm recording the
past history of the business ad-
ministration school. The micro-
film contained 1200 exposures in-
cluding excerpts from the proceed-
ings of the Board of Regents per-
taining to the establishment of the
ousiness administration school,
records of the school and its grad-
uates from volumes of the Mich-
iganensian, a story of the school
library facilities by Dean Stev-
enson and a plan for the eventual
development of the business ad-
ministration school.
Ready in Fall
Classes will be held on the Tap-
pan St. side of the new building
next fall, and it is hoped that
complete occupation will take
place in February of next year.
The new building to cost an es-
timated $2,500,000 when complet-
ed, will accomodate 1200 students.
Dean Russell A Stevenson, iyhc

cornerstone-laying ceremony, wa
equipped for the occasion with per-
mit No. 2059 from the local chap-
ter of the Bricklayers, Masons and
Plasterers' International Union,
An architectural innovattoh: i
the tower, which will be nine stor-
ies high. It will house faculty of-
fices and research bureaus of the
school, saving space by utilizing
low ceilings and comparatively
small rooms for offices.
Adams Gives Address
In an address prior to the cor-
nerstone-laying, Provost Adams
said that the value of the new
business administration building
Kill be measured "by the quality
of the educational accomplish-
inents of these teachers and stu-
dents."
He added, "The School of Bus-
iness Administration exists as an
expression of faith in the idea that
young men and women who plan
to enter the field of business can
be partially prepared for that ex-
perience by an educational pro-
cess carried on within the pre-
cincts of the University."

Alumni Hear,
Paul Hoffman
Says Our Capitalism
Maintains Freedom
In an address yesterday before
the 17th annual Alumni Confer-
ence of the business administra-
tion school, attended by 400 peo-
ple, Paul G. Hoffman, president of
the Studebaker Corp., declared
that "unless we maintain a capi-
talistic system, we won't maintain
our freedom."
He defined freedom as the ab-
sence of unnecessary restraint and
intervention, and added, "We want
to be surrounded by conditions
that will permit us as individuals
to make full use of our capabili-
ties."
Hoffman commented that his-
tory backs up the fact that free-
dom exists only in capitalistic
-ountries, and he declared, "Free-
dom must wither under Fascist,
Communist, Nazi or Socialist re-
gimes because the individual can't
freely utilize his capabilities."
Analyzing our system, Hoffman
described it as "dynamically pro-
ductive," citing the fact that our
standard of living has doubled
since the turn of the century, and
at the same time pointing out its
instability, as shown by the numer-

Although delegates not on the
commission were reluctant to
speculate on possible solutions of
the Holy Land problem, a majority
privately expressed their beliefs as
to what the commission would
recommend.
They said they thought that the
commission likely would bring in
one of two recommendations:
1. An Arab-Jewish state on a
democratic basis which would in-
volve an intermediary United Na-
tions trusteeship over Palestine.
2. A partition of Palestine into
