LVM, No. 43 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1947 PRICE FIVE CENTS i Impossible to Boost Health Aid-Forsythe Reveals Facilities Now Overtaxed By JOE FREIN Extension of University Health Service benefits to the families of student veterans is not possible under present University regula- tions, Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, Aealth Service director, said yes- terday. Commenting on a MYDA pro- posal that wives and children of veterans be allowed to take ad- vantage of Health Service facili- ties, Dr. Forsythe explained that current facilities are already taxed to the limit by the University's record enrollment. Overtaxed Now "With only 15 doctors, some of whom are employed on a part- time basis, about 20 nurses and 55 beds to provide for more than 20,- 000 students, the Health Service could not possibly handle the in- creased demands for medical service which would be required," he said. Dr. Forsythe also pointed out that the Health Service would have to add staff and facilities for obstetries and pediatries to accom- modate veterans' wives and chil- dren. If Health service benefits were extended to veterans' families, the problem of "where to draw the line" would be difficult to solve, he observed. Non-veteran students and teaching assistants with lim- ited financial resources would un- doubtedly deserve similar services for their families, Dr. Forsythe said. Another Question The question also arises as to l whether it is within the basic function of the University to as- sume responsibility for such serv- ice to non-students, he added. Medical treatment is afforded amilies of veterans at a minimum expense by the University Hospi- tal clinical service, Herbert Wag- ner, businessnager- the ,Hos- pital pointed out. By cooperative arrangement with the Veterans Administration, members of student veterans' families may be admitted and treated at the University HosĀ±ai, without referral, upon payment of an initial registration fee of $5, he said. Willow Village Walter B. Fariss, coordinator of veterans affairs at Willow Village, recalled that the problem of ex- tending medical services to the families of student veterans was considered last November by the Veterans University pouncil which consisted of five University offi- cials and representatives of nine veteran and student groups. Efforts to interest student vet- erans in 'group health plans of- fered by, national insurance com- panies failed then, he said. Refer- endums on these proposals in campus veterans organizations in- dicated that student veterans did not feel these plans were compre- hensive or inexpensive enough to adopt, Ferris explained. Hit Automobile Black Market DETROIT, Nov. 10 - (P) - A tightening four-way vise today gripped new and used car dealers i black market trading in auto- mobiles. They faced the ire of state and " federal officials and their own manufacturers at the same time that a one-man grand jury prom- ised a crackdown in the near fu- ture. Gov. Sigler called some of his top aides on the carpet after Grand Juror W. McKay Skillman said the state had been bilked of thousands of dollars by tax-evad- ing auto dealers. Judge Skillman, in a 3,000-word report over the weekend, empha- sized that not all dlealers were guilty, but said many of them filed false tax returns, overcharged car buyers, dealt in whole blocks of new cars on an "under the table" basis, and channeled enough Michigan-ordered cars out of De- troit to satisfy the local demand. e i1 (1 - -- Boo gie Battles Bigotry A t GranzJazz Programs By QUENTIN NESBITT; Jazz, swing, boogie-woogie, and 1 blues will rule the rost in Hill Auditorium tonight beginningmat i 7:45 when Norman Granz' Jazz :. at the Philharmonic concert takes , the stage.

Approximately 69 per cent of the voting sports writers ranked the Fighting Irish atop the field with 117 of the 169 ballots. A week ago they had drawn 106 firsts out of 186. Some veteran writers who have been watching football for many seasons ranked the Notre Dame club as the best they ever saw. Michigan Second Michigan attracted 34 first place votes for its 35-0 romp through Indiana. The Wolverines, who led the pool duringvearly season, heads toward one of the toughest tests of their perfect record Saturday when they face an improving Wisconsin team which rocketed into ninth place by a 46-14 rout of Iowa. Pennsylvania nosed out S )uth- ern Methodist for third place. Seven writers tabbed the Penn eleven for first place after its 19-7 conquest of Virginia while two liked SMU for the No. 1 spot off its 13-0 win over the Aggies. Army Dives Army dropped out of the first 10 for the first time in years. The Cadets were ranked 13th. Southern California clung to fifth place and drew five first place ballots while Georgia Tech continued in sixth position. Texas surged into seventh, pushing unbeaten-untied Penn State to eighth. The Longhorns thumped Baylor 28-7. Penn State had to go hard in the mud to stop Temple, 7-0. Wisconsin made the top 10 for the first time this season and has a chance to graduate into the higher regions if it can upset Michigan. California regained 10th place when Virginia sunk into the second division by bow- ing to Penn. On the basis of point score, Notre Dame had 1,611 to Michi- gan's 1,528 and the next club, Penn, was over 300 points be- hind. U.S., Russia Agree on Plan For Holy Land LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 10-The United States and Russia, with a rare show of unity, agreed late to- day on a Soviet compromise plan for enforcement of the proposed partition of Palestine. The plan was sent on immedi- ately to the United Nations As- sembly's subcommittee considering proposals for cutting up the Holy Land into sovereign Arab and Jewish countries. Dr. HerbertV. Evatt of Aus- tralia, chairman of the assembly's 57-nation special Palestine com- mittee, predicted a vote would be taken on the partition plan within four days. British sources received the an- nouncement of U. S.-Soviet agree- ment on the new plan without comment except to say Britain's position had been stated by Co- lonial Secretary Arthur Creech- Jones when he told the full Pal- estine committee Sept. 26: "If the Assembly should recom- mend a policy which is not accept- able to the Jews and Arabs, the United Kingdom Government would not feel able to implement it." A spokesman for the Jewish agency for Palestine said "we are pleased" over the U.S.-Soviet agreement and "believe it will as- sure a two-thirds majority vote in the Assembly." Arab representatives had no im- mediate comment. The new plan, which was ham- mered out on the basis of a Soviet compromise, calls for termination of the British mandate over Pales- tine May 1, 1948, and the creation of independent Arab and Jewish Congress To Aid Prostrate urope Secretary Says 8 Billion Needed For Survival in Next 19 Months By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-Secretary of State Marshall solemnly urged Congress today to take the "real risks" of helping "prostrate" Europe at a cost of $$,097,000,000 in the next 19 months-and more billions later. Marshall told members of the Senate and House Foreign Affairs Committee the need "is real and it is urgent for: "Speedy" action on an emergency fund of $597,000,000 to enable France, Italy and Austria to "survive" through March 31.

The huge plane exploded, broke into four pieces and burned. The huge plane crashed while taking off on a return flight to its home base at Smoky Hill Army Air 'Field. Salina, Kas. .v itnesses said the plane had traveled about one mile, then sud- denly had dipped to one side and crashed amid hundreds of decom- missioned F-47i Thunderbolt fight- er planes. They said it was a mir- acle any of the crew survived. University student veterans are, about equally divided on the ques- tion of observing a special World War II Armistice Day, but all f.a- vor at least one day of tribute bringing to mind the sacrifices of war. Walter Jacobson, '48-"I think a separate day should be set aside to commemorate World War II. The ending of World War II is a day to be remembered as well as the day that ended the first con- flict." Jim Risk, '48-"I believe that we should continue to observe Nov. 11 as Armistice Day, but I'm also in -favor of establishing an- other Armistice Day for World War II, because people should be made to realize the cost of war." Jerry Wend, Grad.-"One me- morial day for all wars seems ade- quate. To me Armistice Days are unnecessary." Harvey Schatz, '50-"I see no reason for a change of the date on which Armistice Day is ob- served as long as its significance is preserved." Joe George, '49, - "I am in favor of the establishment of a new Armistice Day because of the fact that such a commemoration will re-awaken in the minds of people the futility of war and fur- ther emphasize the semblance of peace." Dick Barnes, '50, -"Armistice Day should be on Nov. 11 to cor- relate the spirit in which the two wars were fought." A Literature School grad de- clared that . . . "another armis- tice day wouldn't have much sig- nificance. The last two wars were obviously not wars to end all wars. I'm all for another holiday for World War II if it means any- thing, but it all seems rather fu- tile." Jim Spencely '49-"I don't favor the abolishment of Nov. 11 as Armistice Day because the end of World War I was a cause for cele- bration and I don't believe it should be relegated to insignifi- cance. However, I do believe that another day should be set aside to commemorate the end of World War II." A Literary College Senior said- "The first Armistice has lost most of its meaning since World War II. I think there should be an official holiday for the ending of World War II but which day you could choose I coundn't say.

Over four years the cost might soar to $16,000,000,000 or $20,000,000,000, he said. He spoke just a week . before Congress meets in a special ses- sion to tackle European aid and domestic inflation. Some key members of the Senate and House committees quickly chorused a measure of approval of the gen- eral ideas Marshall offered. But they said they want all the facts. Marshall made it clear that only opposition can be expected from Russia, even though the program 'menaces no one" and "pursues no sinister purpose.", He said: "We can act for our own good by acting for the world's good." The secretary cautioned that au- tomatic success cannot be guar- anteed for the program. "The risks are real," he said. "They are, however, risks which have been carefully caculaited and I believe the chances of suc- cess are good." Marshall presented a proposed bill to authorize the $597,000,000 emergency appropriations. Appar- ently in anticipation of demands already arising that this 'country get proper credit' for any assist- ance it gives, the bill calls for agreements with France, Italy and Austria which would require "full and continuous publicity" as to the purpose, source, character and kamounts of goods made available.

Truman Says U.S. AidHas Helped Greece Guerrillas Complicate MilitarySituation WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-(A)- President Truman said today that American aid has kept Greece "still free," but that the overall military picture has darkened be- cause of support thrown to Com- munist-led guerrillas by Greece's northern neighbors. In his first report to Congress on the $400,000,000 Greek-Turk- ish aid program, Mr. Truman made these points: No U.S. Troops 1. There are no U.S. combat troops in Greece. 2. To restore order, "reliance must be placed" on creation of a United Nations Commission "which can effectively seal the Greek border against assistance to the guerrillas from Greece's northern neighbors"-Yugoslavia, Bulgaria,_and Albania. 'Tliemessage continued "Although the number of rebel guerrillas threatening this (Greek) security is small, they are fanatically led by Communists who have recruited many hard- ened criminals, and who have forced loyal Greeks into their service by threats against them or their families." Grave Concern Expressing "grave concern" that "underlying causes of eco- nomic and political unrest" still existin Greece, Mr. Truman went on: "It can nevertheless be said that all of the :-Wents for Greek recovery are now present and can begin to be operative once internal order is established. If order can be restored, there is every reason to be optimistic about the recovery of Greece, If order is not restored, there can be no recovery."
