LVM, NO. 14 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1947 PRICE FIVE CENTS I Attlee Drops Shinwell as Fuel Minister Shakeup Involves Thirty Positions By The Associated Press LONDON, Oct. 7-Prime Minis ter Attlee tonight demoted hi much-criticized fuel ministe Emanuel Shinwell, and droppe five other senior members from the government. The London Star called th large-scale shake-up a sligh 'movement to the right," but gov erment informants denied ther was any ideological significanc in the shift. The official announcement from No. 10 Downing Street, officia residence of the Prime Minister said the five ministers who were leaving the government were Joh Wilmot, Minister of Supply; F. J Bellenger, Secretary of State fo War; J. B. Hynd, Minister of Pen sions; Lord Inman, Lord Privy Seal, and Joseph Westwood, Sec- retary of State for Scotland. a0 Posts Involved The shakeup, involving 30 posts within the government and bring- ing in several young laborites a junior executives to infuse "new blood" into the direction of af- fairs at a time of economic crisis did not touoh health minister Aneurin Bevin, a leader of the La bor Party's left wing, nor Food Minister John Strachey, another left winger. Sir Stafford Cripps, named to a new post as Economics Minister last week as the first step in the reorganization, remained the only one of the government's "big four" affected by the changed lineup. Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, Chancellor of the Exche- quer Hugh Dalton and Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison all retained their posts. Twelve Dropped Counting the registration of Ar- thur Greenwood as minister with- out porfolio last week, the shake- up has involved the dropping of six senior and six junior ministers. Shinwell, who bore the brunt of criticism for last winter's fuel crisis, was dropped to the posi- tion of Secretary of State for War, a non-cabinet post. His demotion fwas expected to bring a protest from left-wing elements, particu- larly from Arthur Homner, Com- munist general secretary of the National Union of Mine Workers.

Rouge Food Conservation Drive Of f to Good Start in City Restaurants, U' To Comply with Measure; Meat Prices Slip, Freight Rates Rise in U.S. By JIM WIMSATT With some local restaurants observing meatless Tuesday, and the rest, including the University-run dining halls, ready to begin with Thursday's "no poultry, no eggs" day, the food drive got off to a strong start in Ann Arbor yesterday. The conservation policy will go into effect tomorrow at the Uni- versity dining rooms and cafeterias as the request was made too late to permit a change in Tuesday's menus, according to a University news release. The Interfraternity Council will consider the request at their next e meeting, according to James M t e UN Delegates Defy Leaders In Committee n r Tumultuous Debate Concerns Balkans LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 7-()- Tense United Nations delegates shouted "insult" and "joke" and s cried out in open defiance today - at two committee chairmen caught s in the cross-fire of conflict be- v tween Soviet Russia and the - Western powers. Delegates and correspondents who have followed the UN from - the first assembly in London agreed it was the most tumultuous r day's debate in UN history. Heated Exchanges In the General Assembly's 57- nation political committee, Ales e Bebler of Yugoslavia engaged in heated exchanges with Premier Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium and Hector McNeil, British Minister of State. The Yugoslav refused to obey repeated attempts by Chairman Joseph Bech (Luxembourg) calling him to order. In the Assembly's 57-nation So- cial Committee Enrique Coraminas of Argentina protested rulings by Chairman Oscar Lange of Poland and yelled in a deep voice that "thi Is terrible-we must change f the chairman of the committee." Charges Joke Dr. P. C. Chang of China joined him with the exclamation: "It is . a joke. It is a joke." When the noise had died down, the net result was: 1. The political committee had completed its long and sustained debate on the Balkans question and was almost ready to get down to actual work on a batch of res- olutions in that case. 2. Russia had lost the first round in her two-front campaign against "fascism" and "war-mon- gers." The most violent outbreaks came in the political committee where acrimonious shouts filled the air for nearly an hour. Henry Russel Lecture Given Parker Discusses Art, Truth, Goodness "No matter how strong the United Nations may be, or even world government, there can be no peace on earth without the gopd will that comes from peace within the soul itself," Professor Dewitt Parker, chairman of the philosophy department, declared in the annual Henry Russel lec- ture in the Rackham Auditorium yesterday. Prof. Parker chose as his topic "The Good, the True, and the Beautiful," discussing in de- tail the relationship of the beauti- ful to the true. He asserted that it could not be the purpose of art mercy to tell general truths, be- cause such a viewpoint overlooks the individuality of art. According to Prof. Parker, the artistic concept, or idea, exists not merely for purposes of description, nor for the conveyance of infor- mation, but for the purposes of evocation of feeling. He classified poetry, painting, and music as "all three alike modes of lyrical language." Prof. Parker was named Henry Russel lecturer for the year 1946- 47, but the presentation of the lecture was postponed until yes- terday. The name of the winner of the Henry Russel Award for 1946- cCobb, secretary-treasurer of IFC. .Sally Stamats, president of Pan- Hellenic, said the proposal would be brought before her group im- mediately. A Daily survey also showed that virtually all -Ann Arbor restau- ranteurs fully intend to comply with President Truman's broad- cast request of Sunday night. "If our customers don't put up too big a squawk," one local manager said, "It doesn't make too much differ- ence to us from a dollars and cents angle." The National Picture Nationally, live meat prices slipped a little in some leading markets yesterday, while President Truman lunched on cheese souf- fle, and had broiled salmon for dinner. And the National Restaurant Association today listed sugges- tions for its 90,000 member estab- lishments. Among the sugges- tions were: serve bread and butter only on request; serve oatmeal bread, cakes and cookies instead of using wheat; and encourage boiled instead of oil dressings for salads. Ups and Downs While live meat prices, and Chicago butter and egg futures fell yesterday, wheat and corn futures were higher on the Chicago Board of Trade. Another set-back in the lower prices and save food for Europe drive, came as the cost of shipping food rose 10 per cent, and the In- terstate Commerce Commission announced that the nation's rail- roads had been granted a general freight rate increase. Farm. Experts Ask Congress For Subsidies Long-Range Plan To Modify Parity By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-- Con- gress in the future should grant food subsidies or take other steps to assure low-income families of a good diet, the Agriculture Depart- ment said today in urging a long- range farm program upon Con- gress. The program also called for "modernization" of the farm par- ity formula, which is used by the government in preventing prices of farm commodities from falling below a certain level. Looking beyond present world shortages to a return of price-en- dangering surpluses, the Depart- ment called for a "floor" under food consumption, using food stamps or other means. Food stamps were formerly issued to needy persons enabling them to buy food at cut rates, with the government making up the differ-t ence. ' Congressional Action Congress, the Department saide should "take steps to keep con- sumption from falling." The suggestions were laid be-r fore a joint session of House andr Senate agriculture committeesI studying national farm policy for5 the future. The administration program, if accepted by Congress, would raise parity prices for livestock and dairy products and lower it on grains and cotton. "In substance, it would keep the average of parity prices about where it is now," the Department commented. Parity Price Raise The proposed formula would raise the parity price for beef cat- tle from $12.80 to $16 a hundred weight, if the cost of farm labor iss included in the computation. Milk1 would rise from $3.79 to $4.22 ai hundredweight, wholesale andC soybeans from $2.28 to $2.40 aF bushel. On the other hand, cotton parity would drop from 29.39r cents a pound to 26.35 cents, wheat from $2.10 a bushel to $1.79, corn from $1.52 to $1.42, and oats7 from $.946 to $.815 a bushel. The Administration programi was presented by Carl C. Farring-r ton, chairman of the Agriculture Department, Price Policy and Ad-n justment Committee.o Game Ticketsn Available Now Loyalty Not Required Top Labor N f ten SPLIT ALLEN AWARD-Mary Ruth Levy and Gay Larsen McGee who were awarded the Larry Allen Award for 1946-47 at a meeting of the Board in Control of Student Publications Monday. The $100 award is made annually to the outstanding junior staff member of The Daily. FOR SECOND TIME: Publications Board Honors Memory of Lawrence Allen r r Pledges NLRB Decision Overrules Denham, Breaking Negotiation Bottleneck By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-Top AFL and CIO leaders are not re- quired to sign non-Communist affidavits, the National Labor Rela- tions Board ruled today. The 4 to 1 decision overrode the Board's general counsel, Robert N. Denham, and broke a big logjam of labor cases. Bowing to the decision, Denham told reporters: "I expect to fol- low it." He said he felt he was right but that he was in a position of a lower court, bound to abide by the decision of a higher tribunal. Benham had interpreted the Taft-Hartley Act to mean that all unions affiliated with AFL and CIO would be barred from taking labor relations cases before the, NLRB unless all leaders of the two federations swore they were New Security not Communists. But the NLRB majority de- dared that such a policy wouldP rogram play into the hands of "dissen- Be Undertaken sion-seeking Communists." Goes with Decision For the second successive year, the Board in Control of Student Publications honored last Mon- day the memory of a University alumnus who died over Bel- gium. The $100 award, which went to Mary Ruth Levy and Gay Larsen McGee as the most outstanding Daily junior staff members for the year 1946-47, was one of a series of World News At a Glance By The Associated Press FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 7 - Three Pennsylvania Railroad trainmen were killed today and 15 persons were injured, one of them critically, as a southbound passenger train plowed into a road grader being towed across the tracks at a crossing four miles northwest of here. * * * MANILA, Wednesday, Oct. 8 -A typhoon which flooded at least 10 towns in the northern valleys of Luzon, causing dam- age estimated at several million dollars, swept west today toward Hainan Island south of Hong Kong. * * * WASHINGTON, Oct. 7- The Interstate Commerce Commission today granted the railroads' plea for a quick 10 per cent increase in freight rates, amounting to about $700,000,000 a year.

'College Club' To OpenSoon Night life in Ann Arbor will be given a boost at the end of the week when bandleader Tom Mc- German Help Essential for Stable Peace Marshall Plan Needs Native Aid-Pollock The Marshall Plai can help solve the European peace prob- lem, but "there must be tied into it the resources and abilities of Germany itself," according to Prof. James K. Pollock, chairman of the political science depart- ment. Speaking at an All-Engineering smoker sponsored by Sigma Rho Tau, engineering speech society, Prof. Pollock went on to say that if the Soviet Union balks at our plan, "we will have to go ahead and organize what is left of Ger- many into the most effective kind of economic area possible and tie it into the rest of Europe." Crush German Power Prof. Pollock asserted that Ger- man powei- had been decisively crushed in the war just complet- ed, and went on to condemn the vindictive thinking which has characterized the four power ap- proach to the European peace problem thus far. In a reference to the plan. pro- posed by former Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau to reduce Germany to a purely agricultural economy, Pollock deplored the negative thinking involved in that decision, and asserted that "vin- dictiveness h a d unfortunately overruled reason and judgment" in a matter which affected not only the lives and welfare of the conquered people, but also the people "of this and every other nation." Fundamental Disagreement Prof. Pollock said that while the approaches of the British and American governments to the Ger- man problem have not always co- incided, there have been no fun- damental disagreements such as with the French and the Russians. Prof. Pollock accused the French government of refusing to agree to any move which would help put Germany on its feet, and declared that they even objected "to a uniform postage stamp for the four occupation zones." five awards established by the fa- ther of Flight Lieutenant Law- rence Arnold Allen. Allen received his A.B. degree from the University in 1940, and later received the Distinguished Flying Cross as a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. In April of 1944, he was reported missing in action over Belgium. During the following year, his father, Mr. M. Allen ,of Windsor, Ontario, established a $500 fund in his son's name, $100 of which was to be awarded each year for five years to that member of the Daily's junior staff whose work the Board in Control considered the most outstanding. Clayton Dickey, '47, became the first to receive the Larry Allen award in May, 1946, and the me- morial awards will continue to be given yearly until the fund is ex- hausted in 1950. All-Campus Rally To Be Held by NSA In an effort to acquaint stu- dents with the aims, organization and activities of the National Stu- dent Association, an all campus NSA rally will be held at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at Rackham Lecture Hall. Wlliam Welsh, national presi- dent of the association, will open the rally with a plea for ratifica- tion of the new NSA constitu- tion. Written early this fall by stu- dent delegates to a convention held at the University of Wiscon- sin. NSA relationships with the In- ternational Union of Students, a topic which provoked heated dis- cussion at the convention, will be outlined by Ralph A. Dungan, vice-president in charge of Na- tional Affairs, from St. Joseph's College, Philadelphia. Harvey Weisberg, president of the Student Legislature, will clar- ify NSA policies regarding racial discrimination, in education, and academic freedom. Chairman of the rally will be Erich A. Walter, director of the Office of Student Affairs. The three speakers appeared yesterday at a luncheon spon- sored by the Economic Club of De- troit where Tom King, Men's Ad- visor at Michigan State College told the group that NSA potential- that the recent convention "was ities were surprisingly great and the most democratic group of its kind" he had seen. As general counsel with final authority under the law in griev- ance cases involving alleged un- fair labor practices, Denham could have insisted on his own opinion and thereby thrown out many AFL and CIO cases in the future. His decision to go along with the board was therefore im- portant. This all means that many un- ions which have wanted to quali- fy to use the NLRB for airing grievances, choosing collective bargaining representatives, etc., can now do so. Ignored Denham The CIO's top officials simply had ignored Denham's require- ment and John L. Lewis, head of the mine workers union and an AFL vice president, had blocked AFL compliance in a bitter feud with his AFL colleagues. The scrap within the AFL brought on by Lewis' refusal to sign had grown to the point that major AFL unions were threat- ening to pull out of the AFL fold in order to use NLRB's procedures. Daniel J. Tobin, head of the team- sters, told reporters today at San Francisco the NLRB decision re- moved any threat his union would withdraw from the AFL. AVC To Elect OfficersToday Will Choose Leaders For Coming Year Five officers and four executive members at large will be elected to head AVC's campus chapter at the group's regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the Union.

The office of vice-chairman will be sought by Bill Hyde, Al Mill- stein and Hugh Blanding, while incumbents Gladys Hammond and Leon Kelly are unopposed for the positions of recording secretary and treasurer, respectively. Ed Tumin, Mary Smith and Sue Kellas will compete for the office of corresponding secretary at the election. Four executive board members at large will be chosen from among the following: Lorne Cook, Bill Young, Maurice Dubin, Gil Dancy, Bernie Arfin, Al Slote, John Sloss, Paul Malkus, Verne Fitch and George Antonofsky. Calls for Dismissal Of 'Risk'_Employes WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-(1P)- The State Department announced today a security program designed to prevent state secrets from fall- ing into the hands of foreign spies. It calls for the dismissal of any officer or employe ruled to be a "security risk." In the "risk" category, the De- part ment listed: Communists, Nazis, or Fascists; persons who, believe in those ideologies; per- sons who habitually associate with members of those or similar or- ganizations, and also persons with "basic weakness of character or lack of judgment." Middle Ground Hamilton Robinson, the Db*- partment's Security Chief, de- scribed the new policy as an ef- fort to find a reasonable middle ground between "witch hunting and "harboring subversive ele- ments." Robinson told newsmen the De- partment intends to get rid of all persons considered security risks or prevent their employment in the first place, but at the same time it will safeguard the civil rights of all employes. Any ac- cused employe has the right of a hearing before the Department's new three-man security board. Thirteen Dismissed To date, he said, the Depart- ment has dismissed 13 persons as security risks. Of those, three were permtited after hearings to "re- sign voluntarily" rather than have the mark of dismissal against their records. Many other employes have re- signed after partial investigations, he said. During this period ap- proximately 50 job applicants have been turned down or placed in what he called "pending status" on security grounds. Choral Union Series Begins KarinBranzell Will Give Concert Tonight Karin Branzell, Swedish con- tralto of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will open the 69th an- nual Choral Union series at 8:30 p.m. today in Hill Auditorium. Born in Stockholm, Miss- Bran- zell was heard singing in church by the late Crown Princess Mar- garet of Sweden, who offered to pay for her musical education. Her career began at the Royal Opera in Stockholm, where she sang for several years. Soon after Miss Branzell came to the Metropolitan, where she made her debut as Fricka in "Die Walkuere." She also made ap- pearances at leading musical cen- ters of Europe. During the sum- mer of 1946, she returned to Eu- rope for the first time since the war to appear in recitals in Sweden and Denmark. In 1945, Miss Branzell left the opera for recitals, and as part of a tour this year, will make her 2,000 Students Attend Illinois Can Game The sale of tickets for the Illi- nois-Michigan game at Cham- paign, Nov. 1, and for round trip train accommodations will con- tinue from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon, and 1:30 to 4 p.m. through tomor- row at the University Hall booth. Train and game tickets will be sold only in combination today. Tomorrow and Friday, if any tick- ets remain, they will be sold sep- arately. Arrangements have been made by the Wolverine Club, a student organization to promote spirit in athletic events, for as many as 2,000 students to make the trip to Champaign to occupy a block of seats beginning on the fifty yard line. The total combination price for tickets has been set at $14.60-$11 for train fare and $3.60 for the game-and a limit of two tickets per student has been established. Don Greenfield, president of the Wolverine Club, has asked that students bring their cashier's re- ceipt when they purchase tickets, and women students, he said, will be asked to sign a card which will give them automatic permission from the Dean's office to make the trip. Students desiring to make the trip should purchase tickets be- fore Thursday, Greenfield said, in order that train accommodations may be assured.
