ALL OR NOTHING See Page 4 Y L Latest Deadline in the State ~4Aii4 FAIR COLDER VOL. LVII, No. 33 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSAY, OCTOBER 31, 194 PRICE FIVE CENTS Ford Local Will File Strike Notice Chrysler Officials Conferring with UAW-CIO on Proposed Wage Boost By Th'Ie Associated Pres DETROIT, Oct. 30-(/P))-Ford local 600, representing 70,000 CIO United Auto Workers at the Ford Rouge plant, announced late Wednesday that it would file a 30-day strike notice against the company, while at the same time other UAW leaders conferred with Chrysler Corporation officials on proposed wage boosts. Simultaneously, top officials of General Motors Corporation in a re- port to stockholders said that if new wage demands (on GM) bring another U.S .Backs ussia on Disarmament; round of price interruptions with in-' creased wages and prices "the diffi culty of readjusting thetpresent un balanced condition of the economy would be magnified" Urge Removal of Controls Alfred P Sloan, Jr.' chairman and Charles E. Wilson, president, of GM, joined in urging prompt removal of "all wages, price and other controls that retard production." Announcement of the proposed strike action against Ford culminated a long dispute over working condi- tions in the company's open hearth department at the Rouge Plant. Union claims that the conditions were unhealthy have been denied by company spokesmen. UAW spokesmen emphasized that the Rouge Plant was the only one in- volved in the possible strike. Com- pany officials declined comment on the projected strike which was ap- proved by the membership and exec- utive board of Local 600. Strike Notice To Be Filed A spokesman for the local said the strike notice would be filed with the National Labor Relations Board "late this week or early next week." He said it first had to receive approval of the UAW's international executive board, but added this would be just a for- mality. The Chrysler negotiations are to be resumed Saturday after a four hour session Friday. Neither company nor union sources made any comment re- garding the exact terms of the UAW's demands for a second postwar wage increase. Controls Taken Off Hides, Skins, Shoes, Leather 4 WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 - (P) - Price ceilings came off shoes, hides, skins and leather tonight, and the order requiing production of certain minimum amounts of essential cot- ton textile goods was revoked. The two actions, taken in swift succession late in the day, put the government back on the decontrol track which it had left temporarily earlier in the day with an order ex- tending rent controls to additional areas with a population of 3,500,000. OPA explained that move by saying that the housing shortage is growing "more acute." Removal of ceilings from hides and their products was ordered by John R. Steelman, reconversion di- rector, and OPA quickly made it ef- fective at 12:01 a.m., October 31. OPA officials predicted that shoe prices may rise 20 to 30 per cent. Others, however, said the rise might be only temporary. The removal of the requirement for production of specified textiles was done by the Civilian Production Ad- ministration, by revocation of its loom freeze order, effective Nov. 1. CPA said that production of the goods regarded as essential in indus- try and agriculture, and for apparel, would be assured by a five per cent incentive price increase which OPA will grant on these goods. LatefHoors Voted Down The presidents of all women's houses yesterday voted down the week-day late permission propo- sal. "Over-crowded conditions" was the reason given for the action. The proposal was turned down even by the Association of House Presidents, originators of the plan. "After further considera- tion," Audrey Weston, Assembly vice-president in charge of dormi- tories, said last night, "we de- cided that the plan was unfeas- ible at this time." The proposal, as drawn up by the dormitory officers, would have given senior women 11:30 permis- sion during the week and on Sun- days. Juniors would have received one 11:30 permission a week. The Daily larned Tuesday that League lioge mothers were seriously obpsed to the proposal. Decline in rie Forces Closing Of Cotton Marts Federal Action Asked To Stabilize Big Crop NEW YORK, Oct. 30-(P)-Plum- meting cotton prices today forced a sudden and unexpected 24 hour clos- ing of the nation's major cotton ex- changes and raised cries for quick federal action to stabilize the mar- ket in the South's biggest crop. Out of a hurried round of confer- ences in Washington came answering reports that officials were consider- ing suggestions that ranged from de- controlling cotton textile prices to large government purchases of raw cotton. From the South, simultaneously, came a flurry of protests against ex- cessive speculation. One authority placed the blame for the market col- lapse directly on speculation by "farmers, merchants, doctors, and everybody else in the South." The boards of managers of the New York, New Orleans and Chicago exchanges finally announced late to- day, after consultations over the pos- sible effect, that they would reopen for business tomorrow. US Protests Anglo- Argentiie Treaty WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 - () -- The United States has objected to Britain over sections of the British- Argentine economic agreement which, in the view of officials here, appear to violate promises Britain made in obtaining a $3,750,000,000 American loan. The objections have already been expressed orally, officials said, and Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder plans to follow up with a let- ter to London asking for an explana- tion of one of the financial provisions in the accord. Krug 3 Officials Shy Any Specific Committiment Reported Willing To Talk on Wages By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct.e30-W)-Sec- retary of Interior J. A. Krug and Coal Mines Administrator N. H. Collisson will listen to any demands John L. Lewis may present Friday, including higher pay for 400,000 soft coal min- ers, Capt. Collisson said tonight. But the naval officer and Krug, who is in California and unable to return for the start of the all-im- portant coal negotiations Friday, were not making any specific com- mitment in advance to reopen the Krug-Lewis contract which ended the strike last spring, Will Hear All Grievances "We will listen to anything Mr. Lewis has to say," Capt. Collisson told a reporter. "We have an agree- ment to meet Mr. Lewis. If there is anything he doesn't like, any griev- ances the miners have or any injus- tices they feel exist, we will be glad to listen to them. Further than that we can not go in advance of the ne- gotiations themselves." Despite an industry warning that fresh concessions to Lewis may pro- long government control of the mines, a high official told a reporter the administration is willing to talk wages and other working terms when UMW representatives meet Friday with the coal mines administration. Legal Question on Contract Lewis had demanded reopening of the contract, under an implied threat of a pre-election strike. Krug and Collisson have taken the posi- tion that the existing contract must stand for the duration of govern- ment operation, but other officials were reported bent on getting Krug and Collisson to change their minds. This is a legal question Attorney General Tom Clark has been study- ing. The Justice Department said he had not yet presented an opinion and the White House refused to comment on a report that one had been written overruling K'ug and siding with Lewis. But with present bituminous coal supplies short, officials were striving to avoid a walkout that would curb next winter's fuel supply. Slosson Hits Party isolation Advocates Voting by Individuals' Records Prof. Preston W. Slosson, speak- ing at the West Court Community Building in Willow Village last night, emphasized the dangers of party isolationism within the government. The wisdom of voting by indi- vidual records rather than following a straight party ticket was advocat- ed by Prof. Slosson as the best way to prevent the creation of an iso- lationist bloc within the govern- ment. "We must watch out lest isolation emerge in some-new form. Only by the ,utmost cooperation can a third war be averted," Prof. Slosson de- clared. "Since differences run across party lines, the way to vote wisely is to select individual men on their rec- ord," he said. earA yier Demands Warns UN This Nation Will Not Disarm Alone Senator Austin Demands Ample Safeguards Against Violators; Hits Soviet 'Recriminations' } By The Associated Press NEW YORK, Oct. 30-The United States supported to the fullest to- night Russia's call for world-wide arms limitation but simultaneously served Snotice on the world that this country would not repeat its old mistake of v disarming alone. It also insisted sharply on effective inspections and other safe- guards against states which might try to arm secretly. Loud applause rang through the hall of the United Nations Assembly as Warren R. Austin, Vermont-born chief of the United States delegation said with great emphasis that "after the last war we made the mistake of disarming unilaterally. We shall not repeat that mistake."

FRUSTRATED CRUSADERS:w WCTU Head Says City Has "TendenC To Be a Little Wet" By PAU HIARSHA crusaders against the evils of al- coholism in Ann Arbor don't get much encouragement,b Mrs.Ella B. Rea, president of the local WCTIJ, reported yesterday, The city has "a tendency to be just a little wet," she declared. Unlike some cities in Michigan which "are on the march toward Over 6,000 Are I oculated In Three Days Well over 6,000 students were in- oculated during the first three days of the influenza immunization pro- gram, Dr. Margaret Bell announced yesterday.

University faculty and personnel will be inoculated during these hours tomorrow and Saturday. Faculty members may report at any time convenient to them and personnel will report according to schedules set up in their individual offices.

Few city officials have espoused the prohibitionist cause, according to Mrs. Rea, and not even church workers have given hearty support. "But we're starting to wake them up," she thinks, "and maybe in ano- ther six months we'll be able to re- port better success." She bases her optimism on the belief that people are beginning to see the ill effects of excessive drink- ing. "People are getting disgusted at so much drunkeness, crime and acci- dents resulting from drink-even in Ann Arbor," she said. Meanwhile, the chapter will continue to, work for 'prevention rather thantcure' as the best solution to alcoholism. A VC 4,Opposes State Vet Bonus D~etroitVA Asked To Rush Payments The University chapter of the American Veterans Committee last night went on record as opposing the proposed Michigan veterans' bonus, at its regular meeting in the Union. The chapter also wrote to the De- troit office of the Veterans Admin- istration asking that subsistence payments for veterans be expedited. Gladys Hammond was elected re- cording secretary and George An-j tonevsky was appointed chairman of the new Legislative Action Commit- tee. Membership drive chairman Phil Licht reported that the University chapter has gained more than 100 new members since the beginning of the present semester. lav Molotov, Russian Foreign Minis- ter, who sprang a proposal for world arms limitation on the Assembly late yesterday, Austin said slowly and clearly: "The United States is prepared to cooperate fully with all other members of the United Nations on disarmament. It advocates effec- tive safeguards by way of inspec- tion and other means to protect complying states against the haz- ards of violation and evasion." Austin, deploring Molotov's "re- criminations" against the United1 States and other UN members as a "sad chapter in the peace organi- zation's history" welcomed Russian initiative in the arms move, saying it was appropriate because of Rus- sia's "mighty armies." At the same time he declared the United States' willingness to meet1 Russia's demands for information on its troops in China and elsewhere. He went one better to demand that Rus- sia and all other countries disclose the total strength of their armed forces, both at home and abroad. In a 6,500-word speech, the first thousand words of which were re' written after Molotov addressed the assembly last night, Austin de- clared that Molotov's speech indi- cated "distrust and misunder- standing" of American and other United Nations motives, but that Austin himself did not believe in recriminations and hoped the struggle for peace from now on could be conducted without re- criminations. Yugoslavia's Foreign Minister Stanoje Simich in a long statement accused the United States and Great Britain of repeated violations of the United Nations charter and said that "certain circles" were attempting to use the atomic bomb as "a means for intimidating the world." He also called for retention of the veto; urged immediate approval of the Russian disarmament proposals; de- clared Generalissimo Francisco Franco must be ousted from power in Spain; and called for the return of Yugoslav vessels held by the United States on the Danube. * * * D iplomats Hail Policy Speech NEW YORK, Oct. 30-()-Many of the world's diplomats, particularly representatives of the small nations, described Warren R. Austin's Ameri- can policy speech to the United Na- tions Assembly tonight as the best expression toward world peace that has been made in the new inter- national forum. Austin was applauded for declining to lay stress on accusations made by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molo- tov against the United States yester- day. Nasrullah Entezam, chief of the Iranian delegation, declared that Austin's speech "is one that the peo- ple of the world have been waiting for." Describing it as "tremendous," the Iranian said it was "definitely in the interest of world peace and should do much to put into proper perspec- tive everything before us." The only member of the Slavic countries who could be reached for quotation was Leo I. Medved of the Soviet Ukraine who described the speech as "good, good." Thanassis Aghnides, Greek am- Youngblood Is Elected J-Hop Committee Head Sislin, Shockley, Ginger Are Named to Board Final election results last night listed Dennis Youngblood as head of the J-Hop committee and Paul Sislin, John Shockley and Ray Ginger as the three student members of the Board in Control of Student Publi- cations. Because of the -close voting for J-Hop committee chairmen the elec- tion committee decided to certify ten instead of eight members, Bob Tay- lor, vice-president , of the Student Legislature, said. The .other chair- merf elected were Nancy Neumann, Chuck Lewis, Nancy Holt, Camille Ayo, Pat Chaffee, Art DerDerian, Jane Quail, Preston Tisch and Sarah Stephenson. The Student Legislature amend- ment was approved by a vote of 2,230 'to 366. The amendment provides that one legislator shall be elected for every 800 students, plus one for every vacancy that has occurred since the preceding election. Taylor said that approximately 2,950 -"large ballots" were cast. These ballots, listing the proposed amend- ment and the Board in Control of Student Publications candidates, were the only ones not limited to voters from particular classes or schools. Campaign Libel, Slander Banned By Legislature The Student Legislature last night went on record against candidates who use "libelous and slanderous" campaign material in campus elec- tions. Acting on "irregularities" in the campaign preceding Tuesday's elec- tions, the Legislature decided that candidates guilty of slander and libel in the Legislature election Nov. 12 and 13 will be subject to disqualifi- cation by the Judiciary Committee. Discussion centered aroumd the posters and published statements of John Shockley, who campaigned for the Board in Control of Student Publications on a "Purge the Reds from The Daily" platform. Candidates who distribute cam- paign material on the campus, de- fined as the area bounded by N. University, S. University, E. Univer- sity and S. State streets will also be subject to disqualification. Campaign expenditures will be subject to a five-dollar limit. Arrangements have been made for Legislature candidates to deliver cam- paign speeches over WPAG from 7:30 to 8 a.m. Nov. 4 to 8, 11 and 12. Petitions for Legislature member- ship will be due Saturday. One hun- dred and fifty signatures are re- quired for each petition.

Chairman Frank P.
