Student Positions Will Be Filled in Elections Today Truman Promises 'Positively No Strike', U.S. Agrees To Parley With Coal Miners; Llienthal Named to Atomic Commission Polls will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. today for the election of student members of the Board in Control of Student Publications, Union vice-presidents, senior class officers and chairmen of J-Hop. The student body will also vote on a Student Legislature amendment setting the number of legislators to be chosen each semester at one fot every 800 students, plus one for every vacancy that has occurred since the preceding election. Ballot boxes will be stationed at the engineering arch, on the diagonal, in the lobby of Angell Hall and in front of the Economics Building and Barbour Gymnasium. There will be a box in the Law Quadrangle from 8:30 - a.m. to 2 p.m. and on the ground floor of University Hospital from 2 Cam FEPC pm. to 5 p.m. All students, upon presentation of Ca identification cards, may vote for the three student members of the Board B b dA -in Control of Student Publications. Be-Abandoned Candidates for these positions are Howard Baumgarten, Ken Bissell, Ray Ginger, Lois Iverson, David Election Laws Make Loewenberg, John Shockley, Paul Project Unworkable Sislin, Homer Swander and Donald Pr~jct U w~rkble Wines. The campus-wide petition cam- paign for state FEPC -legislation scheduled to open on Nov. 6 may have to be abandoned, Ellen Vinacke, spokesman for combined council re- presenting AVC, IRA, MYDA and the Lawyers Guild declared yester- day. "Since Michigan election laws de- mand that a circulator of a petition must be a registered voter in the county where he circulates the peti- tion, and must circulate the petition within that county, the possibility of conducting a successful campaign among students here on campus would appear unfeasible," Miss Vin- acke said. Unless the council can evolve a plan for securing signatures of reg- istered voters which conforms to these laws, Miss Vinacke believes that the project will probably be dropped. If representatives of the four cam- pus organizations meeting at 7:30 today in the Union are unable to re- solve the problems presented by the election laws, AVC, IRA, MYDA and the Lawyers Guild will nevertheless actively support the campaigns to be conducted by the Independent Citi- zens Committee of Ann Arbor and the Willow Village AVC, Miss Vin- acke asserted. Beginning immediately following the state and congressional election, Nov. 5, these groups will, with num- erous other organizations, seek to se- cure enough signatures of registered voters to compel the State Legisla- ture to act on the measure to estab- lish an FEPC in Michigan. In order to receive legislative consideration, the signatures of eight per cent of the persons who vote for the office of governor in the Nov. 5 election must be secured by Dec. 1.

Churchill had previously planned to speak on "Socialism in England." "Europe Today" is the title of his syndicated newspaper column, which is widely read in this country and Great Britain. It is also published in France, Belgium, Switzerland,I Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Australia, Palestine, Iraq and many South American countries. In compiling material for his col- umn. Churchill has visited almost every country in Europe; he has in- terviewed such well-known person- alities as Tito, Franco, DeValera and Molotov. This personal experience and first-hand information will be brought to the Oratorical Association audience in his speech tonight. During the war, Churchill served in his father's old regiment, the 4th Queen's Own Hussars. He sailed with the Commandoes to the Middle East in 1941, and was in Tobruk during the seige. Civilian Board To Supersede Army Control Truman Nominates Four Other Members By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 - The Atomic Energy Commission sprang to life today as President Truman named its five members, headed by David E. Lilienthal. Mr. Truman declared that the way it solves the novel and complex prob- lems before it "will determine the course of civilization." The civilian commission, superced- ing the Army in control of the de- velopment and use of atomic energy, was created by act of Congress last summer. Mr. Truman delayed the appointments for three months, how- ever, in a quest for qualified men. Lilienthal, chairman of the Tenne- ssee Valley Authority since 1941, has been active in the field of nuclear fission since the bomb was conceived and headed the experts whose work laid the base for this country's pro- posals to the other nations for con- trol of the new force. The other four nominees to the commission are: Dr. Robert Fox Bacher, 41, Cornell University physicist who worked on the atomic bomb and is scientific con- sultant to Bernard M. Baruch on the United Nations Atomic Commission. William Wesley Waymack, Pulit- zer prize-winning editor of the Des Moines Register and Tribune and a director of the Chicago Federal Re- serve Bank. Sumner Tucker Pike, former in- surance executive and member of the Securities Commission. Rear Adm. Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss, retired, former secretary to Herbert Hoover, member of the Army-Navy Munitions Board and ac- tive in cancer research, now a part- ner in the New York banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. All five appointments are subject to Senate confirmation when the new Congress meets in January but little opposition was foreseen. Meanwhile the nominees will serve under interim appointments. Faculty Men Approve Board Commenting on President Tru- man's appointment to the Atomic Energy Commission, four University faculty members concluded that the nominees should comprise a board adequate for the vital activities they will supervise. Dean Ralph Sawyer, of the Grad- uate School, technical director of the Bikini Operations, expressed special enthusiasm about the naming of Dr. Robert Fox Bacher to the commis- sion. He said that Bacher, a son of a former assistant dean of women and recipient of a doctorate in phy- sics at the University, is "certainly a nuclear physics expert" and should be an excellent man for the job. Prof. John Perkins, of the political science department, said: "Presi- dent Truman has exercised his res- ponsibilities . . with the greatest care and good judgment." i NATION-WIDE TOUR-The Pacusan Dreamboat, which recently made a 10,500 mile flight Honolulu to Cairo, arrived at Willow Run airport yesterday. The airport, which is being run by the University under li- cense from the Federal Government, was the first st op on a nation-wide tour for the Dreamboat. The plane will leave today for Omaha. J'ACCUSE: Stalin Names Churchill War Instigator', 'Menace to Peace' By The Associated Press LONDON, Tuesday, Oct. 29-Prime Minister Stalin named Winston Churchill today among the "instigators of a new war" who, he said were the greatest menace to peace at the present time. Asked, in a series of questions submitted by Hugh Bailie, president of the United Press Associations, what in his judgment was the current "worst threat to world peace," Stalin replied: 'The instigators of a new war, in the first place Churchill and others of a like mind in Britain and the' - U.S.A." Russia has 60 divisions, "most not fully staffed," stationed in occupied Eastern Europe, Stalin said, instead of the 200 mentioned by Churchill in his "question statement" speech in the House of Commons last week. Only 40 divisions will remain whet) the latest Soviet army demobilization order goes into effect two months from, now, the Soviet leader added. Stalin declared, however in an- swering another question, that he did not agree with Secretary of State James F. Byrnes that there is grow- ing tension between Russia and the United States. In reply to other questions, Sta- lin said he did not think the big power veto had been misused in the Foreign' Ministers Council or the United Nations Security Council. Stalin said he considers Poland's present western boundaries to be "permanent" and went on record as saying he hoped for political as well as economic unity in Germany, where, he believes, the industrial lev- el should be raised. Istomin To Present Concert Tomorrow The second concert of the Choral Union Series will be presented by Eu- gene Istomin, pianist, at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Auditorium. A limited number of tickets are still available in the University Musical Society's offices, Burton Memorial Tower. Spirituals Come From Peoples' Hearts-Maynor "From the hearts of people"-in big cities and on islands isolated for generations-come the strange and lovely spirituals for which Dorothy Maynor, who performed here last night, is noted, The diminutive soprano explained yesterday that there are islands off our southern coast where folklore has remained undisturbed since the Civil War. Telling the story of her col- lection of the native's songs, she ex- plained that the islands are dotted with meeting houses where people sing "whenever they feel like it." "They were timid at first," she re- ported, "because they were afraid I would laugh at their religion." They sang for her willingly, however, after she sang some spirituals for them. "I'm a Trav'ling to the Grave," one of the numbers she sang in her concert last night, came from a small island off South Carolina. It was created after a particularly severe hurricane, she explained, adding that not all spirituals are so easy to trace. "I found one unusual spiritual by listening to a cab-driver sing," she remembered. "I asked him where he had learned it, but he didn't know, He just remembered it from his child- hood. And that's how most spirit- uals are carried on." Roundup of World News By The Associated Press NEW YORK, Oct. 28-Kuzma Kise- lev, the White Russian Republic's foreign minister, today attacked the presence of United States troops in China and told the United Nations Assembly that American policy in that country was not calculated to maintain peace in the Far East. * * * PEIPING, Oct. 28-Two govern- ment columns were driving south- ward against the Chinese Com- munists along the coasts of the Liaotung Peninsula 'of Manchuria today in a surprise move toward Dairen, a free port by treaty, where Russian troops were reported to be numerous. * * * WASHINGTON, Oct. 28-The Na- tional Housing Administration or- dered one of the nation's largest war plants converted to manufacture of prefabricated housing today, but le- gality of its action was quickly ques- tioned by another government. agency. * * * WASHINGTON, Oct. 28-Presi- dent Truman, in an open argu- ment with King Ibn Saud of Arabia, today called anew for "im- mediate entry" of 100,000 Jews to Palestine and for creation of a Jew- ish National Home there.

ESSLINGEN, Germany, ,Oct. 28-- Guards were doubled on all American Military Government buildings to- night as police, aided by bloodhounds hunted extremists who bombed the denazification office here last night in the second outbreak of terroristic activity in this area in the past eight days. John L. Lewis Will Meet Mine Administrator Message Interpreted As Full Acquiescence By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 - The government agreed to parley with John L. Lewis today and President Truman announced positively that there would be no coal stike. Whether this meant that the gov- ernment was acceding to Lewis' de- mands for a formal reopening of the existing wage contract to discuss new wage requests and a host of other is- sues was not immediately made clear. Lewis had served an ultimatum declaring that unless the government, as operator of the seized mines, showed up to reopen the pact Nov. 1, the contract would be "void." Since the miners do not work without a contract this meant strike Nov. 1- four days before the election. This afternoon-Lewis' aides sum- moned reporters to a conference to announce that Secretary of Interior Krug had agreed to have Capt. N. H. Collisson, administrator of the mines, meet with Lewis Nov. 1, Friday. view of that Lewis replied 'to Krg that the existing contract would con- tinue in effect during the negoti- tions. "Replying to your letter of Oct. 21 I am requesting that you and/or your representatives meet with Coal Mines Administrator Collisson and his associates on Nov. 1 or any other date agreeable to you," Krug said. But Lewis interpreted the message as compliance with his demands. He replied as follows: "I esteem your telegram 27th re- ceived by me today as compliance with request for official confeence contained my letter Oct. 21." Aigler Suggests Simpler Land Title Statutes Special To The Daily ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Oct. 28-- Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, .of the Law School, recommended simplification of laws dealing with land titles be- .fore the American Bar Association convention here Monday. A simplification of the laws gov- erning land title transactions would reduce the present tedious and qx- pensive process by which land titles are cleared, Prof. Aigler declared. "Repeated examinations of the ti- tle to the same land, often at conid- erable expense and delay, produce a situation believed by both lawyers and laymen to call for correction," Prof. Aigler added. Acknowledging that title examina- tions have become "rackets in some instances," Prof. Aigler asserted that a marketable title is reasonably safe against attack. Prof. Aigler said that the present method of clearing land titles from the time of the Government patent down to the present mortgager each time a piece of land changes hands, since it requires trained experts, is both time consuming and expensive. The professor proposed the adop- tion by all states of statutes making it unnecessary to re-examine a titl further than forty years back unless notice of a claim arising from some previous transaction is filed within the specified period. Heart Attack Takes U' Regent Bishop FLINT, Mich, Oct. 28-(P)-Uni- versity Regent Russell Spencer Bishop died of a heart attack last night at his home. The 60-year-old Flint banker was elected to the Board of Regents in 1943 to serve an eight-year term which would have expired Dec. 31, 1951. He had previously been ap- pointed by Gov. Kelly in Jan., 1943, to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMEN T: Sales Tax Change May Raise Teachers' Salaries By FRANCES PAINE The proposed constitutionaj amendment to split the proceeds of the sales tax between state and local governments is likely to effect some increase in teachers' salaries for a while at least, according to Prof. Claude Eggertson of the education school. It is difficult to prophesy, Prof. Eggertson said, whether this increase would be permanent, because we don't know what the counter-meas- ures to the amendment would be. Lo- schools receive more money for a year or so, salaries might be ad- vanced permanently to a higher level," Prof. 'Eggertson said. The amendment is so drawn, Prof. Eggertson emphasized, that the funds received by the schools can be used in any way the locality chooses, and would thus not be spent necessarily for salaries. It has not been our pol- icy to give the localities a completely free hand, Prof. Eggertson said. The state, responsible for education under the federal Constitution, must set certain minimum standards, he add- -4 "The amendment controversy may prove beneficial," Prof. Eggerson commented, "especially if Amend- ment II is defeated, for it indicates to the legislature that the public might remove part of its perogative for pro- viding funds if schools are not prop- erly financed." Prof. Eggertson pointed out that the Michigan chapter of the Ameri- can Federation of Teachers feels that the amendment would not prove of permanent economic benefit to teachers. The Michigan Education to two basic principles by which the amendment should be judged. First, he said, the concept of good government calls for flexibility in the control of funds. This is provided as long as the legislature can allocate funds according to the needs pre- sented periodically. Earmarking funds by constitutional amendment intro- duces inflexibility, he declared. The second principle is the ultimate effect on the schools, according to Dr. Van Zwoll. The school, he said, as a social institution within a de- mocracy, is a partnership enterprise, creasing state controls, and the sep- aration of the schools from the peo- ple. Protections against centralized control, written into legislation, do not have a history which would in- dicate that such protections work out satisfactorily. Therefore, Dr. Van Zwoll con- cluded, state control would become inevitable with state subsidy, and the democratic structure and oper- ation of the schools would be very specifically impaired.
