Plan Assailed In Assembly Vishinsky Labels Project 'Farce' By .The Associated Press LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 14-Rus- sia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky called on the United Nations today to "laugh down" the United States plan for a year-round assembly of the 57 member nations. He ridiculed this project of U.S. Secretary of State Marshall as a "farce" and said it would aid "warmongers." The Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister once more assailed John Foster Dulles, U. S. delegate who sat only two seats away in the 57- nation political committee of the UN Assembly. Vishinsky charged that Dulles was trying to "steam- roller" Marshall's project through the Assembly. 'War Psychosis' The Russian said Dulles had ! "forgot or did not dare say that war propaganda and war psycho- sis runs rampant." He added that the U. S. plan, originally put be- fore the Assembly by Marshall, would touch off "more lies and propaganda and encourage war- mongers and war propagandists." Vishinsky has named Dulles be- fore the Assembly as one of the "warmongers" on his list. Evatt Answers Dulles remained silent at the end of the 57-minute Russian on- slaught, but Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, Australian Foreign Minister, con- tended that attacks on motives of people were becoming "stale." Other UN developments were: 1. The U. S. denounced in the Assembly's legal committee charges by Soviet satellites that war criminals were being har- bored in the American and British zones in Europe. 2. A UN official said the As- sembly probably would meet in full session next Monday to de- bate the Greek-Balkan case, which the political committee wound up yesterday by defeating a Russian attack on the U. S. and Britain. Willow School Board Refuses To Re-District The Willow Village school board yesterday decided against grant-' ing the request by Negro parents that school districts be re-zoned to eliminate the existence of Sim- monds school as an all-Negro in- stitution. The Walpole Committee of par- ents involved protested the trans- fer of Negro children from inter- racial Ross school to the segre- gated Simmonds school. Approximately 30 of the chil- dren living on Walpole Court have refused to register at Simmonds, and have not attended any school since the beginning of fall term. At the open meeting of the school board Monday night, the parents were joined by members of the Inter-Racial Association, American Veterans Committee and ministers of both Negro and white churches in protesting the segregation at Simmonds. After hearing their arguments, the school board passed a resolu- tion which stated that it had re- considered the question, and saw no necessity for again re-zoning the area. It is not yet known whether the Walpole Committee will decide to take further action on the mat- ter, and attempt to appeal it to ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 15, 1947 PRICE FIV E CENTS Off-Campus Gatherings Beyond 'U' Jurisdiction Off icials Rule Control of Liquor Parties Includes University Property, Residences By JOHN CAMPBELL' Some light was cast on the confused "liquor ban" controversy when University officials made it clear yesterday that mixed student gatherings, held outside student residences and University property, at which liquor is served, are not considered within University juris- diction. Presumedly a beer picnic held off University property would not require approval by the Office of Student Affairs. The status of all parties held sity property remains unchanged. Florida Cities Threatened by Flood Waters Thousands Forced To Evacuate Homes MIAMI Fla., Oct. 14 - (P) - Flood waters surging relentlessly toward Miami from the rain- drenched Everglades continued to mount today. The battle against the water which has been going on in the Lake Okeechobee region since the mighty Sept. 18 hurricane was opened here as 19 draglines went to work building new dikes and re- pairing others in a seemingly fu- tile effort to stem the mounting flood. Between 10,000 and 12,000 per- sons from Hialeah, Miami Springs and Opa Locka have evacuated their homes where water stood from one to six feet deep. National guardsmen patrolled the streets of Hialeah in boats to prevent looting and guard aban- doned homes. Street markers were like channel buoys. County engineer Earle M. Rader estimated it would be three months before water in the Ever- glades subsides to normal. Miami city building inspector Owen W. Carr reported damage to some 3000 private homes would total at least $4,500,000. He still had to estimate the damage on 2,000 dwellings not yet surveyed. Meanwhile high winds and ab- normal tides, accompanied by pouring rains, buffeted the thinly populated outer banks of North Carolina today, as the Caribbean- born storm hovered some 70 miles off the coast. Crews Rescue Storm Victims NEW YORK, Oct. 14--(P)-In a dramatic struggle against moun- tainous seas, Coast Guard crews tonight rescued more than 40 of the 69 persons aboard a huge Boe- ing flying boat, wallowing approx- imately 820 miles off the New- foundland coast, and then aban- doned operations to avoid "los- ing" the mercy ship. Capt. Paul B. Cronk, skipper of the weather ship Bibb, from which rescue operations were be- ing directed in the face of tre- mendous waves and gale force winds, said in a broadcast he and' the plane's captain, Charles Mar- tin, had agreed to suspend rescue work until daylight as there was "danger of colliding with the plane and sinking it instantly, or los- ing the boat." The exact number of those tak- en from the battered plane, which made a forced landing on the choppy seas at 5:05 a.m. (EST), was not determined. In his broadcast Cronk said 44 had been taken aboard the Bibb. in student residents or on Univer- Under the existing regulations, ap- ^proval of parties is automatically retracted if liquor is served at the gathering. Subject to change or further in- terpretation, the phrase"student quarters" in the regulations gov- erning student conduct is appar- ently intended to include all Uni- versity property, according to the administration. It now appears that a definite statement designed to clear up misinterpretations of the re-word- ed liquor regulation approved last spring will be forthcoming from the Office of Student Affairs in the near future. Student Delegates Meet Representatives of fraternities, sororities, and men's and women's residences met yesterday morning with the Dean of Women and the Dean of Students to discuss the "liquor ban," but any public state- ment has been deferred until a future meeting. At the same time, the Office of 'Student Affairs released a new four-point statement listing 'lib- eralized" regulations affecting visiting hours at various student residences drawn up by this com- mittee and approved by the Stu- dent Affairs Committee. The state- ment appears on page two of to- day's Daily along with a reprint of the University regulations on "specific standards of conduct." Protests Continue Meanwhile student protests over the controversial "ban" contin- ued to grow in the absence of any official clarification. The Daily has been deluged with letters, phone calls and personal visits from students protesting the new "interpretations" of conduct regu- lations. Thus far two expressions ap- proving the move have been re- ceived by The Daily. One of them came from a student and the oth- er from Mrs. E. E. McKamey, President of the Ann Arbor chap- ter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The WCTU President said students should give their full time to studying and that she is "thoroughly in favor of the University cracking down on student drinking." Legislature Action Meanwhile Harvey Weisberg, President of the Student Legis- lature, put his organization on record last night: "The Legislature will continue to work with the other students on the Student Affairs Committee to clarify any remaining ambiguities in this rule so as to prevent mis- understanding leading to its un- intentional violation." Union To Present First Coffee Hour Faculty members of the Univer- sity speech department will be guests of honor at the Michigan Union's initial student-faculty coffee hour of the semester to be held from 4 to 5 p.m. today in the Terrace Room of the Union. Preparations for the coffee hours are supervised by Bob 01- shefsky, chairman of the Union's campus affairs committee. Meatless Day Rules Eased By Luckman Group Sanctions By-Product Use B3 The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-Rules for "meatless Tuesday" were re- laxed today. You can eat liver, kidneys, brains and other by- products and still conform. Charles Luckman, chairman of the Citizens Food Committee di- recting a national drive to save grain to feed Western Europeans, told reporters after his 26-mem- ber group met on policy today that: 1. The committee hopes to en- courage use of meat by-products "which are in plentiful supply," and which may 'be used on Tues- days under the altered program. The list also contains sweetbreads, hearts, pigs feet, pigs' knuckles, tripe, oxtails and tongue. 2. The committee will ask the brewing industry to reduce beer and ale production to save more grain. Brewers will consult with Luckman tomorrow. 3. Luckman said a request to the baking industry to produce a smaller bread loaf is under study. He noted there are many problems, such as pan sizes which cannot be changed overnight. He added that one suggestion is to cut down on the height of the loaf, and that it could be done with the present pans. Bread Weight The chairman said a number of states have indicated a willing- ness to waive weight regulations on bread loaves if the committee believes a smaller loaf is desir- able. 4. Luckman will seek to arrange conservation programs with three other industries within the next ten days-the wet milling indus- try, including producers of corn syrup and molasses; the dry mill- ers, including manufacturers of flour and cereals, and commercial livestock feed producers. Luckman indicated no change is intended in the committee's re- quest that Americans do without eggs and poultry on Thursday. * * * City Improves In FoodDrive With almost all the larger res- taurants going meatless the food drive showed some improvement over last Thursday in Ann Arbor yesterday, a Daily survey revealed. 'Except for hamburgers-for- lunch at Mosher-Jordan, all the University-run dining halls served no meat yesterday. Mosher's non-observance re- sulted from a misunderstanding of the dietician on the Univer- sity's policy, according to Francis C. Shiel, business manager of the residence halls. But, while the larger local res- taurants are cooperating with the Citizen's Food Committee, most of the smaller spots had meat yes- terday. "If the people want meat, we've got it," said one small owner. "Maybe next week," was another's comment. Most of them believe it is up to their customers to carry out the President's wishes. French Move To Halt Strike Transport Walkout Political'-Ramadier PARIS, Oct. 14- (' - The French government took energetic measures to break what"Premier -aul Ramadier called a "political" strike of Paris' Communist-led subway and bus workers which be- gan speading tonight to other in- dustries. While millions of Parisians struggled home from work after having walked, hitch-hiked and bicycled to their offices this morn- ing, the government requisitioned 300 private busses to operate a "minimum" transport service throughout the capital. The government also sent out a call to the nation for volunteer drivers to operate the fleet of busses and available truckseand --;-4- - " nm - n r fr -r "Q For Repeal of Taft-Hartley Act; SAbolishes Vice-Presidents C> - Union Defeats Lewis' Stand On Affidavits NLRB Now Open To Federation Use By The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14-The convention of the American Fed- eration of Labor administered a crushing defeat to John L. Lewis tonight by voting to wipe out its 13 vice presidents in a 'move to make the entire Federation eligi- ble to use the National Labor Re- lations Board. The decision came on a rising vote which AFL President Wil- liam Green declared was a two- thirds majority. There was no challenge of the President's dec- laration from the floor. Except for Lewis' United Mine Workers, who stood in a solid show of opposition, dissenting delegates were scat- tered throughout the hall. The action came after a stormy and prolonged fight on the convention floor which saw the AFL's top leadership direct a bitter attack against Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, on his stand against signing non- Communist affidavits as re- quired by the Taft-Hartley law. The floor battle, which at times developed into heated personal ex- changes, precipitated another of the famous Lewis "walks." The mine workers chief told the delegates he would not be a candi- aate again for the executive coun- cil if the resolution was passed. This would mean Lewis' voluntary withdrawal from the Federation's ruling body. Lewis, leaving the convention hall after the decisive vote, told reporters he would have no fur- ther statement. "I made my statement for to- night," he said, shiling and shaking hands with numerous delegates and well-wishers. The momentous issue came on reommendations of the conven- tion law committee. The commit- tee report recommended adoption of action previously taken by the executive council which would abolish the offices of the 13 vice presidents and leave only Presi- dent William Green and Secre- tary-Treasurer George Meany as Federation "officers." This was to permit the AFL of- ficers to sign non-Communist af- fidavits for AFL federal unions which have no national officers of their own. No union can utilize facilities of the NLRB unless its national officers-in this case, AFL of- ficers-sign the affidavits. And President William Green of the AFL told the convention the is- sue was simply whether or not the AFL wanted "to preserve our federal unions or let them die." Without being able to use NLRB facilities, he declared, the federal unions could be defeated by "out- siders and raiders." "Some other union," he ex- plained, "would be able to get on the ballot (in voting to choose a union) and the federal unions would not." Before the convention voted and recessed for the night, Green had sought to conciliate the hard-hit- ting, opposing speakers. SECRET SESSION-Interest centers on a private discussion in this scene from "Henry V," the technicolor film which is being presented at 3:15 and 8 p.m. today in Hill. Auditorium. ANN ARBOR DEBUT: Henry V'To Be Seen Today In Matinee, Evening Showings CIO Convention Votes to Battle "Henry V" will make its Ann Arbor debut today when the Of- fice of Student Affairs presents the Olivier production for the en- tertainment of students, faculty and townspeople. Tickets are still available for the matinee showing of the film which will be held at 3:15 p.m. The evening performance will be given at 8 p.m. Both showings will be at Hill Auditorium. Based on the well-known Shake- spearean play, the film adapta- tion of "Henry V" marks its eighth performance*within the last thirty years in English speaking coun- tries alone. The last, presented at London's Old Vic Theatre, starred Laurence Olivier in the same role he enacts in the film version. The opening scenes of the pic- ture show how the play would have been acted to a 16th century audience at Shakespeare's Old Globe Theatre. The camera range is then expanded to bring a view of Southampton 'wherenHenry V embarks his army for France, to lay siege to Harfleur. Earlier, in France, King Charles, VI had rejected Henry's claim through his lineage to the French throne. The war begins with the Independent Men Form Association Representatives of five men's residence halls in a meeting last night in the West Quad Lounge' appointed a five-man committee to draw up rules and eligibility requirements for an Independent Men Residents' Association. The organization was estab- lished by unanimous vote for a three-fold purpose: (1)'to provide an official body to speak in be- half of independent men resi- dents; (2) to advance social and educational activities; and (3) to encourage participation in resi- dent students' self-government. Another meeting has been called for Oct. 27 at which time the committee's recommendations will be modified and ratified. British forces taking Harflbur. Greatly weakened, Henry turns back to Calais, but a French army blocks his way at Agincourt, but Henry seizes the initiative with a quick thrust toward the French center and wins the battle. Proceeds from the film presen- tation will go toward a Student Affairs project, with a similar event or perhaps a scholarship be- ing 'eonsidered in present plans, according to Walter B. Rea, as- sociate dean of students. Byrnes Urges Steadfastness Toward Russia SPARTANBURG, S. C., Oct. 14 -(P)--James F. Byrnes, ..former Secretary of State, today declared in an interview that "men who want to preserve peace can gen- erally find a way to do it" as his book, "Speaking Frankly," was presented formally to the public here in his home town. Emphasizing the necessity for the American people and press to support his principle of "firm- ness with patience" toward Russia, and reiterating his confidence in the United Nations, the dapper little statesman asserted that "there is greater opportunity to settle disagreements with Stalin than with Molotov." He said he does not'anticipate any change in Russia's attitude toward the United States with the recent establishment of the Com- munist International Information Bureau, but that "because many Americans are apt to believe it is the Comintern, it will arouse more suspicions as to the actions of the Soviets." Since completion of the ian- uscript of "Speaking Frankly" in July, Byrnes said he saw a great- er drifting apart of, Russia and the United States "sufficient to disturb all of us." He offered "no comment" to a question asking if he ekpected to return to public life. "Sure there is greater oppor- tunity to settle disagreements with Stalin than with Molotov." Byrnes responded to a question. "I have found Stalin forthright. On several occasions I made agree- ments with him when I could not with Molotov. Furthermore, Stalin has the power to make decisions. It is always best to talk to the man with the power to decide." Winston Churchill Says Rijcvd Not 'Set on War' Schwellenbach Urges Higher Wage Floors High Profits Blamed By Labor Secretary By The Associated Press BOSTON, Oct. 14 - The CIO National Convention voted unani- mously today to battle for out- right repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act, and to work for the political defeat of its supporters. The convention left it to indi- vidual unions whether to comply with the law as it passed the reso- lution with a standing vote. "We cannot and will not ac- quiesce in a law which makes It a crime to exercise the rights of freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of assembly," the resolution said. CIO President Philip Murray declared however, that "some or- ganizations of the CIO may file and qualify with the new labor board, adding "there is nothing in the policy or procedures of this or- ganization which prevents them from exercising that right." "The nation ought to know," Murray declared, "that there is no division in the councils of the CIO about fighting the Taft-Hartley law." The resolution dedicated the CIO to "forthright repeal of this infamous Act and the reaction- ary program of which it' is a party," and to the political repudiation of those reactionar- ies who are responsible for it' Earlier the
