LVII, No. 49 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMLBER 19, 1946 PRICE FIVE CENTS 'U'Loans Boon To Checkless Vets Approximately 1,000 Needy Students Take Advantage of Emergency Fund With thousands of student veterans' checks bogged down in a seem- ingly bottomless mire of Veterans Administration red tape, the University is coming through in a big way. The Daily reported Sunday that less than 25 per cent of the veterans attending the University had received their checks for the current semester. Previously the Veterans Administration had indicated that all checks would arrive no later than November 15.

Robert S. Waldrop, local veter- -ans Service Bureau director, voiced his approval, saying, "The efficien- cy of the proposed system has al- ready been proven in the armed forces. If the mechanical details ca'n be worked out it ought to be a, great improvement. I think it should be given a try." Further support was given by Prof. Rufus Wixon of the economics de- partment. "The biggest cause of delay and confusion apears to be in getting authorization for payment. A local disbursing officer who can get an authorizing money list from individ- ual campus Veteran Administrations will certainly cut a lot of red-tape." The Daily proposal recommended the use of district disbursing officers qualified to pay on vouchers with cash supplied them by a central office. Dedication Day Ceremony Will Honor Lincoln Eighty-three years ago today Abra- ham Lincoln gave a'memorial address in dedication of a battlefield at Get- tysburg, Pennsylvania. Following President Truman's de- cree that Nov. 19 be celebrated as Dedication Day, the University will commemorate that event at an as- sembly at 3 p.m. today in Rackham Lecture Hall at which Louis A. War- ren, director of the Lincoln National Life Foundation, will discuss "Elo- quence at Gettysburg." Robert G. Rittenour, Grad., will read the Gettysburg Address. All students and staff members of the speech department, under whose auspices the program is being pre- sented, will be excused from classes to attend the assembly. Relics of Abraham Lincoln's one and only visit to Michigan as well as other rare items dealing with the Civil War president are being dis- played by the Clements Library in connection with the 83rd anniversary of the delivery of the Gettysburg Ad- dress. Included in the Clements Library collection of Lincolnia are some of the earliest printings, of the Gettys- burg Address and a copy of the text of the address printed in the Provi- dence Journal of Nov. 20, 1863, then edited by James B. Angell, who later became president of the University. Also displayed at the Clements Li- brary is the original letter which Lincoln wrote making arrangements for a campaign address in 1860 at Kalamazoo, where he made his only visit to Michigan. Friday Vet Activities Mlay he Terminated' In spite of the shortage of week-end recreational facilities, veterans may lose the privilege of using the M Building on Friday nights for mixed recreation due to lack of participa- tion, Kenneth Fleischauer, president of the campus Veterans Organization said yesterday. In an attempt to stimulate interest, the VO will furnish prizes for round- robin tournaments, if a sufficient number of veterans and their wives or dates respond, Fleischauer said. Students To Present 4semester already gone, student vet- erans have turned to the University for aid. Gordon B. Jory, University cashier, estimated that approximately 1,000 vets have already obtained loans from the University. "The demand this semester is ten times greater than it has ever been," he declared. "Loans average between $60 and $80, are granted interest-free and are given for a 30 to 60 day period," Jory pointed out. "There can be no doubt about it- the unusual run on University loans has been caused for the most part by the delay in VA checks arriving," Assistant Dean of Students W. B. Rea declared. Miss Elizabeth A. Smith, assis- tant in the Dean of Students Office disclosed than an average of 42 vets per day applied for loans over the past week. "Yesterday, We hit a new high, with 55 loan applications," she said. "This situation rivals that of the depression," Miss Smith stated. Loans are being made from a specialsemergency fund, not from state appropriations, it was revealed. Meanwhile, Herbert G. Watkins, University secretary, stated. "Be- cause there has been a delay in the delivery of subsistence checks to veterans, we wish to emphasize that the University is prepared to advance short term loans to any veteran to whom this delay repre- sents an undue hardship." Applications for loans may be filed with Miss Elizabeth Smith in the Dean of Students Office.

Accusation of Anti-Russian Policy Denied Rebellion of LabOll Leffists Is Killed By The Associated Press LONDON, Nov. 18-The House of Commons gave a 353 to 0 vote of confidence tonight to the Labor Government's foreign policy, after Prime Minister Attlee had denied flatly accusations that Britain and the United States were "ganging up" against Russia. The vote snuffed out a rebellion by 58 Leftist Labor legislators, who had leveled the accusations against the Prime Minister and his foreign sec- retary, Ernest Bevin. Shout Down Crowded and tense after three hours of debate, the House shouted down an attempt by the Insurgents to withdraw an ,amendment calling for Britain to steera course midway between Russia and the Unitd States. Then, with Conservatives teaming with the Laborites, the House voted 353 to 0 against the amendient. The Labor Leftists, who insisted they did not want to force a vote of censure against the government, were among the abstainers. After the vote of confidence was taken, an amendment expressing re- gret of the government's plan to con- tinue conscription was defeated, 320 to 53. Parliamentary circles said the number of those supporting the amendment indicated that most of the "rebel" Laborites had opposed the government on conscription Denies Alliance Attlee, speaking in cool measured tones, denied that Britain was seek- ing an "exclusive Anglo-American alliance." He said that some of the Insur- gents "suggest that this government is being subservient to the United States. This is entirely untrue. i seems to some we are showing in- sufficient readiness to collaborate with Soviet Russia. That also is un- true." Confidence in Bevin Attlee said that his government had every confidence in Bevin, now attending meetings of the Foreign Ministers Council in New York, and said he resented attacks "by persons whose services to the cause 'of labor and socialism are as dust in the bal- ance as compared with his." Replying to so-called Laborite "re- bels" who asked him to repudiate the idea of an .Anglo-American alliance similar to that suggested by Winston Churchill in his Fulton, Mo., speech, Attlee said: "This government does not believe in the formation of groups or oppos- ing groups of the East, West or center. We stand for the United Nations." Not Representative The British Press Association said the vote of 353 to 0 "hardly repre- sents a conspicuous triumph." "It must be distinctly disappoint- ing and a little worrying to the gov- ernment whips." the Press Associa- tion said. eceives Confidenc World News at a Glance By The Associated Press SALONIKA, Greece, Nov. 18.-Greek ground troops, supported by planes, were reported today to have inflicted heavy losses on hostile forces, officially described as "invaders," in full scale fighting along a mountainous front of seven miles or more near the Yugoslav frontier.

PRIVATION IN EUROPE: WSSF Requests Donations To Relieve Students Abroad - I The conditions of privation and dis- couragniment prevailing among stu- dents of Europe and Asia can be par- tially alleviated if American students will contribute their interest and dol- lars, William Ellis, vice-president of the International Union of Students said last night. In a speech to representatives of campus groups on behalf of the World Student Service Fund, Ellis, who recently returned from Europe, cited examples of want among foreign students. He told of the 600 students in Athens alone, who have tuberculosis and are receiving no help. Ellis re- called seeing students wearing paja- mas indoors, so that their street clothes might last a little longer, and mentioned the 2500 students in a town in Poland, where there are accommodations for only 200. Mernthin Will Give Concert V olht Virtuoso Ranked Anoon.tAll-Time Greats Yelludi Menuhin, violin virtuoso, will be heard in the fourth c'-ncert of the Choral Union Series at 8:30 p.m. today. Acknowledged to be one of the greatest musicians of all time, Menu- hin is as well-known in Europe as he is in America. Plans for another of his numerous round-the-world con- cert tours are now being made. Menuhin holds the record of hav- ing performed for more men in the armed forces, in more war areas, than any other living master. In ad- dition to these concerts he gave bene- fit performances for such organiza- tions as USO, earning more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in England. His program for today's concert follows : Beethoven: Sonata No. 1 in D ma- jor; Bach: Sonata in G minor (for violin alone) ; Lalo: Symphonie Es- pagnole; Szymanowski: La Fontaine d'Arethuse; Brahms-Joachim: Hun- garian dance No. 4 in B minor; Sara- Saying that there can be no opti- mistic point of view without food, Ellis declared that if Americans wish European students to see that there is dignity in individual men and something valid in terms of morals. they must give them the basis for a hopeful philosophy. The dollars contributed to the WSSF will be used to stop the suf- fering of European students, Ellis said. "By giving money and showing interest in their plight we will be aiding that element of society which can rebuild the world," he said. Ruthven, Walter Ask WSSF Aid 'President Alexander G. Ruthven and Dean Erich A. Walter of the liter- ary college issued statements yester- day urging support of the World Stu- dent Service Fund drive to be held here Thursday and Friday.' "The work of the World Student Service Fund should be of campus- wide interest," President Ruthven said. "The unfortunate conditions under which young people are labor- ing today over a large part of the earth's surface are well known to us." "A generation of students will lack adequate education for the building of a bettertomorrow unless immediate assistance can be given. It is esti- mated that 400,000 students in Eu- rope and Asia alone must be assist- ed to continue their studies this year See WSSF, Page 4 GOV. HARRY F. KELLY .. supports aid to colleges Aid for College Expansion Plan Asked by Kelly Let-up Would Betray The Veteran, He Says By ROBERT GOLDMAN The state's college and university expansion program must not be im- paired by the inevitable rechanneling of funds to communities called for in Proposal No. 2, Gov. Harry F. Kelly told The Daily last night. Proposal No. 2, passed in the re- cent election, calls for diversion of approximately 75 per cent of the state sales tax to Michigan's com- munities. Indicating that the fund re- channeling will shuffle the state's fiscal set-up, Gov. Kelly declared, stopping or reducing the state's education expansion program would constitute a breach of faith with the veteran." "No future legislature should con- sider such a reduction in educational expansion," lie asserted. Gov. Kelly is a patient at University Hospital, undergoing treatment for laryngitis. He indicated that he would soon inform the State Legislature of hid convictions concerning the future of Michigan's higher educational institutions. Gov. Kelly predicted that by next September, state colleges and uni- versities will begin to realize "some real results" in relieving the present congested situation. He said that by September the state's expansion program would be- gin to "take hold." Unable to speak at length be- cause of his !throat condition, the Governor added that no other state in the union is ahead of Michigan in developing an education pro- gram for returned vests. While slightly more than $3,000,- 000 has been earmarked by the state for the University, Gov. Kelly said that "further appropriations should be provided" so that the University might complete its building program. Gov. Kelly is under the care of Dean of the Medical School Dr. Al- bert C. Furstenberg. Yesterday. Gov.-Elect Kim Sigler visited the Governor at the Hospital.

Lewis to haul down his signal for a soft coal strike as President Truman sent four Cabinet members on the warpath against him. A temporary restraining order by Justice T. Alan Goldsborough direct- ed Lewis to tear up his contract ter- mination notice and make no signal that could start a mine walkout. Jail could be the penalty for disobedience. Miners Idle But already at least 32,000 miners were idle and pits closed down in seven states. The fate of future op- erations was uncertain. The court order does not compel the miners to work. Attorney General Clark pocured the order with affidavits from the Secretaries of War, Navy and Inte- rior, plus five other top officials. They detailed dire consequences that a strike would cause in every phase of the Nation's life. Mr. Truman, vacationing at Key West, Fla., held two telephone con- ferences apiece with Clark and Secre- tary of the Interior Krug. His sec- a'etary, Charles G. Ros, said that "the President is aware oeverything that is being don:, and everything that is being done is bein; dne in accordance wtih his in tructicyns '{egal Battle The tempo ary restraining order is efi' st phase of a lrgal battle in hich the Government seeksa declar- ;tory judgment against Lewis which would outlaw any strike or contract termination as long the the Govern- ment operates the mines. The order runs until 3 p.m. Nov. 27. At 10 a.m. that day, Justice Goldsborough will consider the Gov- ernment's plea for a temporary in- junction pending his final decision, and hear arguments of attorneys for the Government and the United Mine Workers. Taxis Petition City for Raise Rezoning Plan Tabled By Common Council Ann Arbor Common Council yes- terday heard a request that the pres- ent taxicab ordinance be amended to grant four local cab companies a rate increase. Council also heard Alderman Ber- nard Harkins, chairman of the ordi- nance committee, recommend that the proposed change in "B" class residential zone to allow the con- struction of radio studios be kept in committee for further study. Consid- erable opposition had developed to the measure which was designed to allow the building of a radio studio at the corner of S. University and Washtenaw Avenues. Residents of the area claim that the proposed change would lower property valua- tion and mar the beauty of the dis- trict. Taxicab operators have asked that the fare be raised to 50 cents for one person anywhere in the city. A sec- ond person in the same party would be allowed to ride free, with 10 cents charged for each additional passen- ger over two. In addition operators request a fee of 10 cents for each three minutes of waiting. Approved at yesterday's council session, was the request of the Uni- versity to build a bus shelter at E. University just south of Washte- naw Ave. for the protection of stu- dents waiting for Willow Run trans- portation. James Walker Dies CHA MBERLIN SAYS: Russia Key to Disarmament; British Have Practical Policy Lecture . I Interviewu., 0 " LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOON: State Revenue Will Decrease Under New Tax Amendment. Britain's foreign policy today is dic- tated by practical circumstances rather than by the socialist doctrines of the Labor Party, William Henry Chamberlin, author and foreign cor- respondent, told University students yesterday. "England's primary aim is to pre- vent the domination of Europe by a single great power, for in an era marked by atomic warfare, Britain would be extremely vulnerable to atomic attack," he said. World-wide disarmament cannot be achieved unless Russia consents to a system of international inspection of atomic resources, William Henr.y Chamberlin, associate editor of The New Leader ,declared in an interview yesterday.-. Chamberlm, who served as Moscow correspondent of the Christian Sci- ence Monitor from 1922 until 1935, regards Soviet Foreign Minister Mo- lotov's recent arms limitation pro- posal with great skepticism.
