The amendment, which must be approved by two-thirds of the stu- dents voting on it, would set the number of legislators elected each semester at one for every 800 stu- dents, plus one for every vacancyt that has occured since the preceding election.c Ray Davis, Legislature president,. said last night that the purpose ofF the amendment is to stabilize ther basis on which the number of legis-c lators to be elected each semester is calculated. It would not decrease theI over-all size of the Legislature, he said. The disadvantages of the presentt systems, he explained, are that an abrupt change in enrollment causesx an abrupt change in the size of thec Legislature and that a sharp increasec in enrollment makes the fall andI spring elections unbalanced.t The new amendment would mean that the size of enrollment would de-t termine only the size of that half of the Legislature which is being elect- ed in any particular semester, he explained. Under the proposed amendment, 26 members will bel elected this fall and 23 in the spring.- Candidates To Be Nominated Nominations for student member- ship on the Board in Control of Stu~ dent Publications will be made by the student members of the Student Af- fairs Committee at 4 p.m. tomorrow ;n the Senior Editorial Offices of The Daily. Three vacancies on the Board will be filled in the election to be con- ducted by the Student Legislature Oct. 29. fore a group of press correspondents He pointed out that while at pre- sent we do not have a strong Army or Navy, "the bomb is one of the effective things we do have. Just be- cause it is one thousand times more powerful than any other weapon is no reason why we should share our discovery." It is possible, he asserted, to make available to other nations informa- tion concerning atomic energy with- out disclosing the bomb's secrets of assembly and construction. The dean pointed out that he did not consider smuggling of the bomb into this country possible because fissionable materials could be de- tected, even if other parts of the bomb could not. "Permanent peace," he declared, "does not imply we should give away all our information concerning our weapons." We are headed for "one world," but other nations will have to meet us halfway. When questioned concerning atomic energy research, Dean Saw- yer indicated that the atomic bomb was the result of the "progress that comes from war." He does not believe a nation would spend two billion dol- lars on "something like this" in peacetime. However, wartime devel- opments stimulate peacetime scien- tific research. International control will not hamper such research on atomic energy. The "sort of effort" that was put into the bomb would bring use of atomic energy in two or three years, but in peacetime it will develop more slowly, he -explained. The Bikini tests, which he stressed as being of a purely scientific na- ture, provided invaluable informa- tion as to the effects of radio ac- tivity on animals. Those bombs used at Bikini were as identical as possible with that used on Nagasaki, Dean Sawyer observed, but the one dropped on Hiroshima was less powerful. He compared one bomb as equal to a raid of 100 bombers. A report concerning the tests will be submitted to the joint chiefs of staffs next month. Tickets on Sale For Arnall Talk Series To Be Opened By Youngest Governor Single admission tickets for the first Oratorical Association lecture of the 1946-47 season, Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia, who will speak at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow on "The South Looks Forward," will be placed on sale this morning at the Hill Auditorium box office. America's youngest state governor. Arnall has been a prominent figure in Southern politics since he took office in 1943. He took the leadership in the growing opposition to Eugene Talmadge and his regime, and made reform in state government the prin- ciple plank in his platform. In his campaign he was backed by President Roosevelt and liberals in and out of the state. When the votes were counted in the Democratic primary, Arnall had won a decisive victory, with 162,889 votes to Talmadge's 177,731. Within 24 days after his inauguration in January, 1943, the Georgia legislature had unanimously adopted every cam- paign promise he had made. Under Arnall's influence education in the state was removed from the realm of politics. 'U'Granted Building by U.S. Agency The Federal Works Agency in Washington announced yesterday that a classroom-office-laboratory building with 74,000 square feet of floor space will be transferred to the University from its present site in Burns City, Ind. Upon learning of this decision last night, Vice President Robert P. Briggs said that the temporary structure will be erected on Washington between Health Service and the University laundry. It is expected to take the overflow of students from the liter- ary and engineering colleges. Application for the building, which has not yet been examined by Uni- versity officials, was made to the FWA several weeks ago, Briggs ex- plained, in preparation for an ex- pected increase in enrollment next semester. Under provisions of the Mead Amendment passed in the closing hours of the last session of Congress, costs of transportation and construc- tion of such surplus buildings will be paid by the government. The build- ing was granted to the University as part of the government's program to increase veteran enrollment in uni- versities. Briggs was not able to state when transfer of the building will start since he has not received official word of the application's approval, In addition to providing classroom and laboratory space, the building will help satisfy the University's need for more office space until the Gen- eral Service Building is completed. Michigamnua Initiates 13 In Revival Tapping and initiating 13 men, Michigamua, senior all campus honor society, had its big post-war revival on campus yesterday. Meeting on President Alexander Ruthven's lawn the Tribe of Michi- gamua dressed as Indians presented the President with an Indian hunting arrow symbolic of the close ties be- tween Michigamua and the Univer- sity since 1903. President Ruthven smoked the tribal peace pipe presented by Sachem Bob Hume and told the organization that the administration and faculty would depend on them to help run Michigan and continue to make it the world's greatest University. From the President's lawn, the whooping Michigamua braves went to historic Tappan Oak in front of the library where approximately 2,000 students witnessed the tapping rites of 13 leading campus activities men being taken into the Tribe of '47. The traditional Rope Day, as it is of- ficially called, was started in 1903 and was today witnessed by two of the original tribe members, Approximately 60 old Michigamua men returned to witness the revival of Rope Day, absent on campus since 1943. Fostered primarily by the late Fielding Harris Yost, Michigamua has functioned as a secret socity for the services of Michigan, See MICHIGAMUA, Page 2 'AunL Ruth' To Meet War'Tiimie Pen Pals "Aunt Ruth" Buchanan, the Uni- versity's most prolific writer of let- ters to serviceman, will meet at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Union with some of her 2,230 war-time pen pals.

Jackson Seeks Additional e Places Guilt' On Diplomats, Industrialists U.S. Asked To Take Action in Own Zone By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-Justice Robert H. Jackson said tonight there are many industrialists, diplomats, politicians and others "whose guilt does not differ" from that of the 11 high Nazis given death sentences at Nuernberg. He recommended that the United States proceed on its own to try those within American-occupied Germany, rather than putting their cases be- fore international tribunal. Industrialists and financiers could be tried, Jackson said, on "such spe- cific charges as the use of slave la- bor." He called it "regrettable" that the Nuernberg Tribunal acquitted financier Hijalmar Schacht and diplo- mat Franz von Papen. In a report as U. S. Chief Prose- cutor, Jackson told President Truman the trial and the decision condemn- ing 11 high Nazis to death "do more than anything in our time to give to international law what Woodrow Wil- son described as 'the kind of vitality it can only have if it is a real expres- sion of moral judgment." Jackson, resigning as U. S. chi.ef counsel for the prosecution, said any report would be incomplete which failed to take account of the "general war crimes work that remains un- done." Jackson advised that Brig. Gen. Telford Taylor,.his deputy on the prosecution staff, is preparing a pro- gram of prosecutions against repre- sentatives of "all the important seg- ments of their third Reich" includ- ing a considerable number of indus- trialists and financiers, leading cabi- net ministers, top SS and police offi- cials and militarists. Goering Cheats Noose, Other Cirimiinals Hang NUERNBERG, Wednesday, Oct. 16-(P)--Ten condemned Nazi ring- leaders died on the gallows in the Nuernberg jail yard early today but Hermann Goering, Adolf Hitler's No. 2 man,, cheated the noose by swal- lowing poison in his cell before the death sentence was read to him. Col. B. C. Andrus, security chief for the prison, made this announce- ment relative to Goering: "Goering was not hanged; he com- rmitted suicide at 10:45 p.m. (4:45 p.m. EMT) last night by taking Cya- nide of Potassium." "He was discovered at once by the sentinel who watched and heard him make an odd noise and twitch," An- drus continued. "The sentinel called the doctor and chaplain who were in the corridor and who found him dying Dean Keiiton To Open Village Lecture Series Dean Hayward Keniston of the lit- erary college will open the university sponsored lecture series at Willow Village with a talk on "What is Hap- pening in Argentina" at 8 p.m. today in the West Court Community Build- ing, NEWCOMER-Elliott Lawrence and his orchestra, recent arrivals in the ranks of top-uight dance bands, will play for the Homecoming Dance, October 26. BY STUDENT DEMAND: Lawrence Chosen To Play At.Homecoming Celebration end of Wage Controls Discussed As Livestock, Market Prices Soar; Trials Elliot Lawrence, 21-year-old new- comer to the top-flight dance band world, has been chosen by student demand to play for the Homecoming Dance to be held from 8:30 p.m. to midnight Oct. 26 in the Intramural Building. The young pianist and his 20-piece orchestra featuring Jack Hunter and Rosalyn Patton as vocalists, placed second in the College Music Poll this year and were given "odds" in a July article of The Billboard to be a "new top name before another year goes by." Advance Ticket Sale An advance sale of tickets will get underway tomorrow and continue through Friday in the booth outside Rm. 1, University Hall. Regular sales will begin Monday in the Union and League and on the Diagonal. All tick- ets sales will be from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. The Billboard article gave Law- rence credit for achieving something many leaders shoot for but never hit in having his arrangements, which blend popular styling with a sym- phonic tone, interesting but never in- tricate. He "plays much on the sweet, smooth side, even late in the evening," the article continued. Began Career at Eleven Lawrence began his dance band ca- reer at the age of 11, directing the 14 "Bandbusters," all of whom were under 15 years old, in Philadelphia. From that inconspicuous start, work- ing through years of technical train- ing, directing a college band while at- tending the University of Pennsyl- vania, working as music director of WCAU, Philadelphia, after gradua- tion, and broadcasting his first radio show, "Listen to Lawrence," in 1945, the "young man with a band" has risen to the upper realms of col- legians' favorite bands. The Homecoming Dance will wind up Michigan's 1946 Homecoming Weekend, centered around the Illi- nois game. The Student Legislature Varsity Committee is sponsoring the entire weekend. Bill McConnell is general chairman of the dance to Ken Herring is in charge of ticket sales.

OPA To Keep Some Ceilings On Goods Gates To Be Opened For Mexican Cattle By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-While livestock prices and the stock mar- ket soared in swift reaction to last night's decontrol of meat prices, President Truman and his top ad- visers pressed White House discus- sions on how rapidly to drop wage controls. One official predicted a swift tap- ering off-and that soon-of most remaining controls. Meanwhile, the American Federation of Labor is- sued a call for the elimination of all controls except those on rents. Porter States Policy However, Price Administrator Paul Porter issued a statement of policy that OPA intends to keep ceilings on "important" commodities and ser- vices until supply balances demand. He said ceilings will stay on such things as automobiles, furniture, building materials and household appliances as long as they are scarce. On the first day of a free live- stock market, hog and cattle prices jumped in all markets reporting. The New York Stock Exchange rang up gains as high as $12 per share and stock market averages recorded their sharpest rise in more than seven years. Mexican Cattle In a follow-up to his speech, Tru. man announced that an investigation of health conditions has made it possible to remove the quarantine against imports of Mexican cattle Friday. On the political sidelines, in a speech tonight GOP chairman Car- roll Reece branded Democratic handling of the meat problem as a good argument for a Republican con- gress. He contended that Truman's veto of the original OPA extension bill last June was responsible for letting controls lapse and that the blame for the meat shortage, there- fore, rests on the administration. The meat-eating public faced the prospect of getting more meat fairly soon-perhaps within ten days-but at prices that are bound to refelect today's first burst upward on live- stock markets. Meat Decontrol Held To Be Only Possible Ation The abolition of price ceilings on meat was probably the only course of action open to the administration, Prof. Garner Ackley of the econom- ics department said yesterday. Drawing from his experience as Assistant Director of Consumer Goods in OPA, Prof. Ackley attrib- uted the reasons for the meat short- age to the two month "vacation" from controls, plus the hope for fur- ther increases or eventual decon- trol, The OPA's experience last summer before the reenactment of OPA was that many of those products whose prices soared during the "vacation" period were almost completely with- drawn after the new bill was passed, Prof. Ackley stated. As an example, he cited the case of raw hides, priced by OPA at fifteen-and-a-half cents per pound, raised to twenty-seven cents during the control-free period, and finally withheld from the mar- ket when Congress revived price con- trol. It was only through drastic threats of requisitioning, and anti- trust action that the government was able to get hides on the market again. ?n the textile field, there were several instances in which shipments of goods were held up for as much as two months, when price increases were expected. A taste of high prices, Prof. Ackley declared, or the expec- tation of higher prices rarely failed to produce withholding. Col. ilsonClarifies Bonus Requirements STUDENTS TO 'GET NEEDLE': Mass Vaccination for Influenza To Begin October 28 Students will "get the needle" in the voluntary influenza immunization program according. to a schedule set up yesterday. Aiming to vaccinate students at the rate of 600 an hour, the schedule will distribute the load alphabetically from Oct. 28 to Oct. 31. Discussing the possibility of reactions to the A and B influenza virus, Dr. Margaret Bell, acting director of Health Service, pointed out gies will not be able to be immunized because of the danger of a severe reaction, she said. At the time students are innoculated there will be a check on any allergies and in cases where there is any question, students may consult with Dr. Buenaventura Jiminez, an allergies specialist, who will be available throughout the immuniza- tion program. The schedule set up for the imf-Miniatiofl scheduled for their particular group, but in case they are unable to go through with their group they may be vaccinated from 8 a.m. to 12 noon or 1 to 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1, or at any time when the lines are not crowded, The drive will be spearheaded by a program to innoculate all residents of Stockwell and Mosher-Jordan dormitories on Oct. 23 and 24. The program was set up by the Health Service
