Churchill Still Wary of Reds LONDON, Oct. 24--()-Winston Churchill said tonight that he had "facts" and "evidence" to support his suggestion that the Soviet Union had 200 divisions--more than 2,000,- 000 men-on a war footing in Soviet- occupied Europe. Addressing his constituents in suburban Loughton, Churchill de- scribed his speech in the House of Commons yesterday as "a serious warning," and added dramatically: "I did not ask the question (re- garding Russian forces) without weighing very carefully the whole matter and without consulting others, my friends and colleagues, and lay- ing before them the evidence on which I proceeded."

Gale of the Univer- sity International Center. * * * Nimitz Endorses Disarmament Proposals; Urges Support of UN By HARRY LEVINE Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz endorsed world-wide disarmament proposals in an interview here yes- terday. The Chief of Naval Operations, who will address the student body at 11 a.m. today from, the steps of the General Library, said that he did not think disarmament proposals were "unfeasible at present." Admiral Nimitz stressedthe fact that it "must be an honest effort on the part of all nations con- cerned." "Right now the best thing we can all do is to support the United Na- tions organization and become less suspicious of one another," he said. "There is a better chance for this sort of thing to succeed than there was after the last war. Our aloof at- titude to the League of Nations made it less possible to insure any effec- tive disarmament. Under the old 5-5-3 ratio, Britain built her 5, Ja- pan built her 3 and we were the only nation that did any real dis- armament," he declared. The Admiral pointed out that our present position of leadership in the United Nations makes it more pos- sible to carry out effective disar- mament. He expressed satisfaction with the Navy's present complement of per- sonnel and ships saying that "we anticipate no need for peacetime naval conscription." Estimating the present comple- ment of active, reserve and inactive Naval ships at approximately 1,000, Admiral Niiritz said that the Navy's leaves it in a much better state of readiness than it was prior to the war. "As the size of the Navy and its expenditures shrink with a peace- time budget, the importance of the reserve officers and men becomes more obvious," he said. "Nobody appreciates more than I do the important role the reserves played during the war. 11 out of 12 of our officers in the Pacific were reserve officers; most of our hand- ing craft were commanded by ae- serve officers. It was truly a civilian, citizen's Navy." Admiral Nimitz is in town with Mrs. Nimitz visiting Dr. and Mrs. Esson M. Gale of the University In- ternational Center. The Nimitzes' and Gales' friendship dates back to 1928 when the Admiral. then Cap- tain Nimitz, was professor of naval tactics and Dr. Gale was head of the Oriental Languages department of the University of California. First Human Eye Shipped By U' Hospital The first human eye to be shipped from University Hospital to the "Eye Bank for Sight Restoration" was rushed in a refrigerated pac1pge by plane to New York yesterday. Dr. F. Bruce Fralick, chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology in the hospital, said that the eye was voluntarily donated by an unidenti- fied woman patient who was suffering from a lesion. According to hospital officials, the ideal method of performing the cor- neal transplanting operation for re- storing sight to blind persons, is to make the transfer immediately from one patient to another. However, they said, under ideal conditions of refrigeration, the eye can be used after as long as a four day period. Hospital officials said that ship- ment of eyes to the Eye Bank was not unusual nationally but that it was the first time ene had been sent from University Hospital. Following removal of the eye, it was rushed from the hospital to Willow Village airport and carried from there by plane to New York City. By The Associated Press NEW YORK, Oct 24 - Warned that it was in danger of becoming a "conplete laughing stock" by its legalistic wrangles, the powerful Steering Committee of the United Nations Assembly decided tonight to recommend that the assembly con- sider India's charges that South Africa is discriminating against its Indian .citizens. In effect, the result of the 21 hour argument which involved Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom was that the Committe put the question up to the Assembly and let that body de- cide what to do with it. The issue arose when South Africa demanded -that the Steering Com- mittee block India's charges from go- ing before the Assembly. South Afri- can Delegate Jan Christian Smuts withdrew this demand but continued to insist that the welfare of the In- dians living in his country is a strict- ly domestic issue. He agreed, how-' ever, that the assembly itself would have to rule on whether he was right. Earlier the Spanish question and -the battle of the veto arose in Gen- eral Assembly discussion. Two formal votes were taken. Former Senator Warren R. Austin, of thesUnited States, proposed that the Assembly be advised that the question should. go to its political committee and its legal committee simultaneously. On that question the United States, United King- dom, New Zealand, Venezuela and South Africa voted affirmatively while Russia, China and France veted against, with the Ukraine and Belgium abstaining. Then Andrei A. Vishimsky, Soviet Delegate, pressed a motion that the question be referred to a joint meet- ing of the political and legal commit- tees. The Ukraine and France joined him in favor of that; the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and South Africa opposed him. VA To Build Hospital Here University officials said yesterday that the announcement by the Vet- erans Administration of a 500-bed general medical and surgical hospital to be constructed here for veterans was a "complete surprise" to them. The Veterans Administration also said that the 500-bed tuberculosis hospital, originally authorized for Ann Arbor, would be transferred to Detroit. The proposed site of the tu- berculosis hospital was outside the city limits and across the river from the University Hospital, but there is no indication that the same site will be selected for the new hospital. General structural recommend- tions for the new hospital include many modern features, such as the use of structural glass, which devi- ates from the traditional structure for hospitals, auditoriums, radio out- lets in each room, and specially oper- ated oxygen units.

One informed official who would not permit use of his name said it is expected to match the action of last midnight which yanked price lids from all foods and drinks ex- cept sugar, syrups and rice. Big Job "We are trying to round out all these actions for announcement by Nov. 1 or before but it's a big job and we may not hit that deadline," he said. The announcement is expected be- fore the Nov. 5 elections. It will be another step in the decontrol pro- cess President Truman speeded up when he removed price ceilings from meats and livestock. Reduce Controls The general aim is to reduce con- trols to the minimum before the new Congress convenes in January. Some Congressmen and candi- dates of both parties have threatened to kill off OPA. Administration lead- ers hopeto maintainuceilingsmon rents, automobiles,0' building ma- terial, some basic low-cost clothing, many durable goods, and scarce items such as sugar and soap. Salvage Program In an effort to salvage this much of the control program from a pos- sibly hostile Congress, orders have gone out to cut away every price ceiling that is unimportant to busi- ness or living costs or where supplies are near balance with demand. "We had hoped to hold all these decontrols for one big announce- ment but some must be released from time to time," the official ex- plained. "Once a decision is made within the OPA staff here, trade leaks often develop that force quick announcements." City Council tsAo t otes Adoption Of U' Offer $97,000 Designated For Local Facilities Ann Arbor Common Council voted to accept a University offer of $97,600 for the purpose of expanding local water and sewage facilities in a spe- cial meeting last night. Also embodied in the University offer was an amount of $20,000 year- ly to be paid to the city over a ten year period for the services of seven policemen to serve the campus area. Approved too was a University pay- ment of $7,500 which will release them from the free bed obligation to the city at University Hospital. In explaining terms of the agree- ment to the council, Mayor William E. Brown Jr. pointed out that the Re- gents have also promised to ask the State Legislature for a $200,000 ap- propriation for the construction of an additional fire station in Ann Ar- bor. Terming the offer a preliminary agreement which heralds a period of new relations between the city and the University, the mayor said that no other city in the country has made an agreement of this kind with an educational institution. Explaining thai the University will pay the city an additional $5,000 for each new building constructed, Mayor Brown estimated that the en- tire agreement should net the city $1,000,000 over the next ten years. This will amount to about 14 per cent of the city's annual budget. In outlining plans for immediate expansion of the city's overloaded sewage disposal plant, the mayor said that the University offer will be system of reserve ships and men Two Concerts Will Be Given Dorothy : ay nor Offers First Special Recital The University Musical Society will present two concert artists next week: Dorothy Maynor, soprano, Monday and Eugene Itomin, pianist, Wed- nesday. Miss Maynor will give the first of several specia concerts planned by the Society because of the large stu- dent enrollment. Istomrin's concert will be the second in the current Choral Union Series. A limited num- ber of tickets are vailable for both concerts at the Society's offices in Burton Memorial Tower. Miss Maynor, a graduate of Hamp- ton Institute, is known as one of the leading concert sopranos of her time. She had planned to be a teacher un- til friends, convinced of the greatness of her voice, persuaded her to con- tinue her musical studies. It was while she was a student at the West- minister Choir School that she was discovered by Serge Koussevitzky, who aided her in a rapid rise to fame. Now in his early twenties, Istomin has been in the eyes of the musical world since his winning of the Phila- delphia Youth Award and the Leven- tritt Prize four years ago.

In the development of the former bomber plant community since the end of the war, Federal Public Hous- ing Authorities are carrying through the federal policy of non-discrimi- cancies as their turn comes on the waiting list for homes in the Village, according to Alan Jackson, FPHA project service adviser. Rev. Blake considers the federal policy as "a great challenge in build- ing a community." He commended the local American Veterans Com- mittee for seeing the challenge.
