'U' HOSPITAL INCIDENT Latest Deadline in the State :43 a t t RAIN, COOL ee Page 4 VOL LVII, No. 169 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1947 PRICE FIVE CENTS Three Union Curb Clauses Scrapped House Conferees Yield to Senate On Labor Control Bill Provisions By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 27-House conferees on labor legislation have agreed to scrap three major union-curbing provisions of the House bill, Rep. Hartley (Rep., N. J.) said today. Hartley told reporters the House group he heads decided informally to yield to the Senate on House- voted clauses which carry: Split Income Tax Retinns Bill Rejected McClellan, Fulbright Protest Unfairness WASHNGTON, May 27-(A)- The Senate rejected today an amendment to tax legislation which would permit husbands and wives in all 48 states to make sep- arate returns on their federal in- come tax, each reporting on half the couple's combined income. The vote was~ 51 to 29. ,Such income-splitting for tax purposes is allowed in 10 so-called commun- ity property states and it often results in considerable savings to the taxpayers. Senators McClellan and Ful- bright, Arkansas Democrats, of- fered the proposal to allow it ev- erywhere. They said as things stand, the taxpayers in 38 states are being discriminated against. Senator Millikin (Rep. Colo.), floor manager for the bill, asked the Senate to reject the prolosal at LAs time. He assured the members the problem will get full consideration in the general tax revision bill planned for next year. Earlier, the Senate had flipped quickly through the pending tax cutting bill, giving preliminary ap- proval to all but one of the chang- es made by its finance committee in the measure passed by the House last March. The section on rate reductions was left open to give a technical foothold to sev- eral proposed amendments, in- cluding the income-split advocated by the Arkansawyers. Willow Council Votes Curfew To Keep Teen-agers Off Streets by 10 pm The Willow Village Resident Council unanimously voted last night to return the curfew for teen-agers of 16 and under. As a measure in its campaign to eliminate juvenile crime, the Council's ruling will go into effect, Sunday, June 1. The law makes it mandatory for youngsters who have not reached their seventeenth birthday, and who are not accomnpanied by a parent or guardian, to be off the streets by 11 p.m. Saturdays and by 10 p.m. all other days. The law has been on the books for some time but has not been en- forced because of complaints by veterans that the curfew sirens re- minded them of the "old days." Vets Warned of D eadines The Veterans Service Bureau yesterday reminded veterans of deadlines for obtaining a number of benefits. Applications for terminal leave pty must be made before Sept. 1. Many veterans have neglected to file for this benefit, the bureau re- ported. Veterans who obtained their discharge prior to May 12, 1945 mnay reenlist in the reserve corps at the same rank held at time of discharge before July 1 or within six months of discharge, which- ever date is later. National Service Life Insurance may be reinstated before August 1, 1947 without the necessity of a physical examination. July 1 is the deadline for ap- plication by anlputees for the $1,- 1. A prohibition against nearly all industry-wide collective bar- gaining. 2. An authorization for private employers to obtain injunctions against some kinds of strikes and boycotts. 3. A ban on mass picketing and violence in picketing. Hartley announced impending abandonment of these provisions after a separate hour-and-a-half meeting of the House conferees this morning. Then they headed for a brass tacks session with the Senate group. Referring to the three conces- sions, Hartley said: "We didn't take any formal vote, but I'm telling you that's the way it's going to be." The New Jersey Congressman told reporters the House members were motivated by a desire to get a bill which the Senate would pass over a possible veto by President Truman. The House measure has more curbs on unions and strikes than the Senate bill. Hartley said that in return for yielding on the picketing provi- sions, the House expects the Sen- ate to accept some sort of safe- guard which would permit non- strikers to get through picket lines to their jobs. As the conference committee drove to finish its job of adjusting differences between the two bills by tomorrow night, Senator Taft (Rep., Ohio), chief of the Senate conferees, told reporters his group intends to make "no substantial concessions" to the House on ma- jor issues. Student Book Exchange ]May Be Expanded Expansion of the Student Book Exchange to provide supplies and services under a new cooperative plan has been proposed by the board of directors, Ken Bissell, manager, announced yesterday. Laundry, dry-cleaning and shoe repair service, and new books and~ supplies would be offered at r' duced rates to members of the Ex- change under the new plan. The present exchange function will be continued. The plan calls for the sale of memberships in the Exchange to students for a nominal sum, which would be returned to them when they leave school. In addition to obtaining supplies and services at reduced rates, students would re- ceive a rebate at the end of each term amounting to about ten per- cent of their purchases from the Exchange during the term. Adoption' of the new plan de- pends entirely upon student sup- port, Bissell emphasized. He asked BOOK EXCHANGE BALLOT I would be interested in pur- chasing a membership share in the proposed Book Exchange Cooperative, and will support the planned expansion of the Exchange. all persons interested in it to call at the Exchange or to fill out the form which appears in today's Daily and leave it at the Union, League or Office of Student Af- fairs.

C., May 23. Four Charged with Kidnapping In North Carolina Jail Seizure Warrants Result from Con fession of One Of Crowd Which Took Negro from Jail ChargeUnion Election Was. Mishandled Allegations Made By Forestry Club By NAOMI STERN Charges, that the Union vice- presidential elections, held April 14, were mishandled and that the elections should, therefore, be in- validated, were levelled yesterday by the Forestry Club in a unani- mouse vote, according to Milan Miskovsky, president of the club. The charges are stated in a let- ter to The Daily which appears on page 4 of this issue. The first specific charge was "A candidate's name was with- held from the ballot without satisfactory explanation." Eugene Sikorovsky, president of the Union, denied this charge ex- plaining that a letter was sent to Theodore Chiesna, the disputed canid idate, indicating the circum - stances under which his name was omitted from the candidate list. The candidate's petition was sub- mitted to the nominating com- mittee after the official deadline, he explained. Andrew Poledor, a member of the nominating com- mittee, who received the petition specifically pointed out at that time that the petition was late, Sikorovsky said in the letter. Chiesna was not available for further comment. Sikorovsky also flatly declared that the second charge that "One of the candidates was en- trusted with the duty of check- ing the validity of the nominat- ing petitions" was false. "Jack Kenyon, a member of the Union Board of Directors and chairman of the Nominating Committee, checked all petitions. Kenyon was not a candidate for any office," Sikorovsky said. The Forestry Club further charged "The election was not held according to the Union constitution." At the same time Jerry Comer, 47BAd, who was a candidate for Union vice-president from the business administration school, charged that an opposing candi- date ran for the same office al- though he was a student in the literary college at that time. The Union constitution states that a candidate must be a member in good standing of the school which he will represent on the Union Council, he explained. Sikorovsky conceded that this charge was accurate but explained that this candidate will be a stu- dent in the business administra- tion school next fall when he is scheduled to take office. As the names of the candidates from all schools were printed on By The Associated Press RICH SQUARE, N. C., May 27 -Solicitor Ernest B. Tyler said tonight that warrants charging four white men with kidnapping were being delivered to North- hampton county Sheriff J. S. Stephenson in connection with the seizure of Godwin Bush, 24-year- old Negro, from jail at Jackson, N. C., last Friday. Tyler saidthe identity of the men would not be revealed until they had been arrested by Steph- enson "sometime tonight." Tyler reported that "we are charging them with kidnapping, the only felony involved in the case." Member Confesses The :solicitor said the warranst were being obtained on the strength of a confession from one of the members of the mob which took Bush from the jail. The Negro escaped after making a dar- ing break for freedom just after he had been placed in an auto- mobile in front of the jail. In Raleigh, Governor Cherry said he was "glad they'remaking some progress" when informed Concentration Camp'sGuards Die on Gallows LANDSBERG, Germany, May 27-(M)-Twenty-two guards and foremen at the Nazis' Mauthausen concentration camp died on black- curtained gallows here today in the yard of the prison where Adolf Hitler once brooded as a prisoner and wrote "Mein Kampf." Twenty-seven more, including an Austrian Gauleiter, are to be hanged by American soldiers to- morrow. The Mauthausen executions, or- dered by an American military court for the alleged slaughter of more than 700,000 victims of many nationalities, are the largest in the history of Allied War crimes prosecution. Seven of the executed guards died protesting their innocence. Four spoke emotionally of their "Fatherland." Several asked char- ity for their families. All walked firmly to the gallows. Ousted Leader Seeks Mexico By The Assoiated Press Leonardo Arguello, president of Nicaragua for 26 days, was re- ported seeking asylum in Mexico (Tuesday' after having been de- posedin a national guard coup planned by former President An- astasio Somoza and replaced by a wealthy cattleman-banker. A news dispatch from Managua, the Nicaraguan capital, said the congress of the Central American country had declared Arguello "unfit" to hold office at a special session last night, and had named Benjamin Lacayo Sacasa acting president. Lacayo Sacasa, a vet- that the Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation had obtained a confession from one of the mob. "I hope they'll get enough evi- dence to sustain convictions," Cherry added. Arrest Awaited Tyler declined to discuss the case fully, saying that he was then in the process of handing the war- rants to Sheriff Stephenson. He indicated it would probably take several hours for Stephenson to make the arrests. In Washington, the FBI said the confession implicated "seven other white persons" in the af- fair. S'dei'
