Ramadier Gets Narrow Vote Of Conf idence PARIS, Oct. 30-(RP)-The Gov- ernment of Socialist Premier Paul Ramadier, which he pictured as a middle-of-the-road regime, re- ceived a 20-vote majority on a confidence motion in the National Assembly tonight in the face of Communist and DeGaulist oppo- sition. ' But m any parliamentarians, and even associates of the premier, conceded that the Ramadier cabi- net would have to be reshuffled soon. The approval of the govern- ment's motion by 300 votes to 280, with 18 abstentions, came at the and of two days of near-riotous debate in which booing and name- calling was the order of the day. Many deputies, and some mem- bers of Ramadier's office, said they believed the cabinet would be shaken up within a month in or- der to bring in Leon Blum, elder Socialist statesman, and the war- time premier Paul Reynaud, an in- dependent rightist. Civil Rights Group, Def ied JAOKSON, Miss., Oct. 30-(IP)- The South will continue to prac- tice racial segregation regardless of a recommendation by a presi- dential committee that it be abol- ished, Acting Governor Oscar Wolfe of Mississippi' declared to- day. In a prepared statement issued in response to a newsman's request for comment on the committee's proposal yesterday, Wolfe said: "All forms of human relation- ship and contracts cannot be regu- lated by law. History shows that where any nation has not prac- ticed segregation of races, but al- lowed miscegenation and amalga- mation of. races, this custom has always resulted in the destruction of the nation that permitted this crime again nature.

It was its performance here for the 1921 J-Hop that startedrthe Waring organization on the road to success. Immediately after playing here Waring was booked for vaudeville shows in Detroit and Chicago and a radio program overWWJ, Detroit. In one respect this will be a tri- umphal return for the Waring group. When they first came here, 25 years ago with only eight men, the outfit ran out of money, and was given quarters by the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. Now, after a quarter of a century, they are re- turning, 45 strong and world-fa- mous. The band will renew ac- quaintances with the fraternity at a supper tonight., Went to Paris For six years, Waring played theatre dates and then in 1927 went to Paris for engagements at the Cafe des Ambassadeurs and the Paris Opera House. After the group returned to America, it ap- peared in the movie, "Syncopa- tion," and appeared in three Broadway revues. In 1933, the Waring organiza- tion started its first commercial radio show, and made its first popular record with a vocal chorus. The same year, they in- troduced their first popular broad- cast with glee club effects. Six Shows Per Week Today, the Fred Waring organi- zation is the only group on the air to be sponsored by four products, as well as being the only major radio group with six shows per week. Waring not only manages his orchestra and glee club, but also is the composer of more than 100 college songs and theme songs. With the largest staff of arrangers of any musical group he turns out arrangements which bring de- mands from composersthat he re- cord their music. 110 People in Group Among the 110 people in the Waring organization are the solo- ists who will appear with the group today: Jane Wilson, Stuart Churchill, Joe Marine, Joan Wheatley, Daisy Bernier, Lumpy Brannum, Joe Sodja, Mac Perrin and Poley McClintock. Tickets for the concerts, which are sponsored by the Men's Glee Club, may be obtained at the Hill Auditorium box office. House Probe Of Film Reds Reaches End Movie Query Off Till 'Near Future' By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 30- The big investigation of Communism in Hollywood wound up today with testimony from former FBI opera- tive Louis Russell that a Russian agent tried unsuccessfully in 1942 to wangle "highly secret" infor- mation from atom bomb expert J. Robert Oppenheimer. No Evidence But the House Committee on Un-American activities produced no evidence at all that movie stars or anyone else in Hollywood had any direct connection with these "espionage activities." It did, however, turn out con- tempt actions against two more Hollywood figures-writers Ring Lardner, Jr., and Lester Cole. They joined eight other persons on the contempt list when they wouldn't say definitely whether they are Communists or not. Will Start Up Again Chairman J. Parnell Thomas chopped off the hearing in its ninth day, with a promise that it will be started up again "in the near future" either here or in Los Angeles. "The (movie) industry," he ad- vised, -"should set about immedi- ately to clean its own house and not wait for public opinion to force it to do so." For days, the chairman had promised a "surprise" witness would turn up with "sensational" testimony about atom bomb spy- ing. Russell turned out to be the witness. Moslemo-Hfindlu ,Blood Flows In CivilStrife NEW DELHI, Oct. 30-(P)-Two battalions of army troops from the Dominion of India were reported in danger of being lost today in the fight to save Kashmir, prince- ly border state, from wat a com- petent informant said was an in- vasion deliberately hatched in Moslem Pakistan. Kashmir, predominantly Mos- lem state, suddenly joined Hindu India on a provisional basis last week in a bid for protection against the invasion by irregulars from Moslem Pakistan. The two Sikh battalions flown into the beleaguered state were reported by a competent authority to be using two Tempest fighter planes and battling desperately against superior numbers and fire- power after a retreat which one source said was to within 10miles of Srinagar, the Kashmir capital. The informant said the invading force was made up of 2,500 to 3,000 Mahsud and Afridi tribes- men, Moslem leaguers and former soldiers from Pakistan's western frontier force who were being re- inforced by new arrivals from over the frontier and who were well supplied with modern arms, in- cluding machineguns, mortars, howitzer artillery and vehicles. All Campus PartyToight The International Students As- sociation will present an all-cam- pus Halloween party from 9 p.m. to midnight today in the Woman's Athletic Building. Both American and Foreign students are invited to the party, which will begin with a torchlight parade from the International Center and will feature audience participation in a number of tra- ditional games of foreign nations. The games will be demonstrated by students from those nations. The program will include record dancing. Refreshments will be served.

WSSF CAMPAIGN: World Student Service Fund Drive Will Begin Next Week With the goal of $10,000 the World Student Service Fund will begin the University drive Wed- nesday. WSSF, Ameqican agency for World Student Relief, was estab- lished in 1937 for the purpose of giving direct relief to students in war-torn countries of Europe and Asia. It is an organization of American students and professors for the assistance of students and professors in universities in dev- astated countries. Show Concern Jack Passfield, chairman of the drive, stated that this is the, op- portunity for University students to show their concern for students U.S. Cites 17 Firms in Anti- Trust*Violation NEW YORK, Oct. 30--UP)-The government laid monopoly charges today against 17 of Wall Street's leading banking firms in a civil suit described by Attorney General Tom Clark as "one of the largest and most important in the history of the anti-trust laws," The financial district, veteran of many battles with regulatory and investigative groups, countered with a series of denials and dug in for a show-down fight. "If they want a fight," said John M. Hancock, partner of Leh- man Bros., a firm named in the suit, "we'll give it to them." "My guess," he added, "is that' it will be a dirty fight." The suit, filed by the Depart- ment of Justice in Federal District Court for Southern New York, spe- cifically accused the 17 interna- tionally known investment bank- ing firms with conspiring to mon- opolize the handling of new issues of securities. The Department of Justice in addition asked for the dissolution of the Investment Bankers Asso- ciation of America, members of which include virtually every se- curity-selling organization in the nation. The complaint cites 131 indivi- duals and asserts that the alleged conspiracy dates back tor1915. Some of the alleged practices in which the bankers are accused of conspiring include elimination of competition among themselves and among other investment bankers in the purchase and dis- tribution of new securities. who have lost most of what we have here. Action has been taken along four lines by WSSF in the past. They are medical care, intellec- tual relief, emergency food, cloth- ing and housing, and international projects such as rest centers and student sanatoria. During the present campaign Malcolm Adiseshiah, associate general secretary of International Student Service, will speak to stu- dents Suncay, Nov. 2 at 8:15 in Kellogg Auditorium on his experi- ences with WSSF work in Europe and Asia. Seeds of Destiny "Seeds of Destiny," 1946 Acad- emy Award winner, will be shown continually from 3:30 Tues., Nov. 4 in Kellogg Auditorium. This doc- uemntary film has never been re- leased to movie houses because distributors felt it was too real- istic of conditions in Europe to- day. Speakers will visit campus dor- mitories, fraternity and sorority houses to explain the work of WSSF and answer any questions students may have. This is a drive for education of University students as well as a money-raising drive according to Passfield. Last year the Univer- sity contributed $4,154 which placed us fifth among the Big Ten. schools in this drive. Lidice Story Told by Girls NUERNBERG, Oct. 30-(OP)- Two teen-age girls and a middle- aged woman, survivors of Lidice, told for the first time in a war crimes court today the dramatic story of how the Germans wiped out their village in revenge for the killing of a single Gestapo chief. The girls told how they were torn from the families the night of June 9, 1942, when German tanks suddenly surrounded the Czech village, then shipped away, singled out as of the "nordic type" and farmed out to German fam- ilies where they were forbidden to speak the Czech language and made to join the Hitler youth. The woman told how the women and children were corraled in a school house while the village was burned and the men shot. Then, she said, the women were sent to a concentration camp and the no- tationrput on their registration cards, "it is not desirable that they return." AVC Boosts Red Feather Fund by Pledg.e of $1,000 Vet Organization to Aid Drive With November Showing of 'Open City' AVC's campus chapter gave the lagging Red Feather drive a shot in the arm yesterday, pledging $1,000 to the campaign-the largest contribution of any single organization in the history of the Ann Arbor Community Chest. The donation boosted the University's contributions by five per cent, bringing its total to 72.3 per cent of a $22,000 quota. It helped lift the city's total above the 75 per cent mark in the drive. The AVC announced, that, in line with its all-out support of the Community Chest drive, it would sponsor a presentation of the prize- winning Italian film, "Open City" in Hill Auditorium on Nov. 7 and 8.
