LVIII, No. 56 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 26, 1947 PRICE FIVE GENTS House Group Pares Relief Bill to Europe Committee Adds China Aid to Plan By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 - r An 18 per cent slash in President Truman's request for $597,000,000 European emergency aid was voted today by the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee-and then it threw in $60,000,000 for China. This broadside revision of the administration's carefully planned winter relief program is included in a bill the committee is writing to lay before the House. On the Senate side, the Foreign Relations Committee has unanimously ap- proved the $597,000,000 figure. Specifically the House commit- tee bill proposes to set up $489,- 000,000 for France, Italy and Aus- tria this winter, whereas Mr. Tru- man asked the full $597,000,000 for these three countries to pre- vent "chaos." Include China The administration did -not in- clude China in the emergency proposal to the special session, but Sesretary of State Marshall has used the $60,000,000 figure in dis- cussion of Chinese needs for this fiscal year. Even with China included in the House bill, its revised total would be $549,000,000-or a net overall cut of $48,000,000. Rep. Vorys (Rep., Ohio) said that the reduction in projected help for the three European coun- tries was based on information the committee obtained of the amount of goods that will be available for them. "Final" Figure Asked if the $549,000,000 told is a "final" figure, Vorys said no, that it represents committee ac- tion "to date" on the bill. A committee member told a re- porter the vote was 10 to 9 on a motion of Rep. Chiperfield (Rep.,' Ill.) to cut the $108,000,000 from the $594,000,000 the administra- tion recommended as a "minimum for the three European countries. The closeness of the ballot' pointed to a rough scrap over the total when the bill reached the House floor for a vote. The committee hopes to com- plete the. bill by the end of the week, then meet next Monday to approve it in final form for in- troduction by Chairman Eaton (Rep., N.J.). That would make it possible to start House considera- tion later next week. Discuss Legislation Speaker Martin called the House Republican Steering Com- nittee, to meet next Tuesday to discuss the legislation and possi- bly to take a unified position on it. The Steering Committee shapes party policy in the House. In the Senate, where the Euro- pean stop-gap aid authorization measure already has reached the floor, the second day of debate pushed it toward a vote, possibly tomorrow. Senators voted in an amendment which directs that re- lief buying be done in a manner having the least effect on domes- tic prices. Riots Flare Up Again in Italy Terror Marked by Slayings, Plundering ROME, Nov. 25-(YP)--Political terror, dormant over the weekend, burst out again in southern Italy today with two slayings, rioting and the sacking of anti-Commu- nist Party offices. While last week's strife cen- tered in Apulia in the heel of the Italian boot, the new outbreaks were in Calabria, in the toe. A minor outburst also occurred in Rome tonight when a bomb was thrown from a passing automo- bile against a building in which the Communist newspaper Unita is printed. There were no casual- ties and the only damage was a few broken windows. One newspaper said "disorders spread throughout Calabria," and another headline reported "deaths, devastation, armored cars as the Students Will Apply for Rose Bowl Ducats Today Ticket Windows Will Be Open Every Day At Athletic Administration Building Office Student applications for Rose Bowl tickets will be accepted be- ginning this morning at the Athletic Administration Building, Don Weir, University ticket manager, announced yesterday. Ticket windows will be open daily from 8:30 to 4:30 until Decem- ber 1, to accommodate the students. A one ticket limitation will be rigidly enforced and identification cards plus signatures will be required both at the ticket window and in California. The distribution plan, originated by Bob Chappuis and Pete Elliott, student members of the Board in Control of Inter-collegiate athletics, U. N. Committee Approves Design For Arabs, Jews Barber Shops Will Continue NegroPolicy Organization Refuses IRA's Present Plea Members of the Ann Arbor Bar- bers' Association will not serve Negroes, Joe Kneiper, president, declared yesterday. Replying to IRA's letter request- ing the Barber's Association to "eradicate disriminatory prac- tices" against Negroes, Kneiper :tated that "it would continue the present policy" and would not meet with campus representatives to work out a positive solution to the problem. Resistance Promised He also warned that if legal ac- tion by IRA forces the city's bar- ber shops to obey the Diggs Act and serve Negroes, "they would not be satisfied with the haircuts they received." In Kneiper's opinion, discrim- inating barber shops will not be influenced to change their stand by IRA's threat "to take con- certed action" before resorting to a court test, if the Barbers' Asso- ciation does not reach a "satis- factory" decision by Dec. 1. 'Can't Afford It', Shops in the vicinity of the campus against which he believes Operation Haircut is specifically directed, could not "afford" to cut Negroes' hair because their "cus- tomers wouldn't like it" and would go elsewhere for their haircuts, Kneiper said. IRA's campaign to persuade Ann Arbor's barber shops to serve Negroes is supported by "few stu- dents and opposed by most towns- people," he explained. Ship Aground, Fear 48 Loast Survivors Sighted by Coast Guard Plane KETSHIKAN, Alaska, Nov. 25 - (P) - Two small Coast Guard searching parties which reached tiny Hippa Island near nightfall messaged in mid-evening they had been unable to find any survivors from the wrecked army transport Clarksdale Victory, although ear- lier today a coast guard plane had reported sighting three survivors on the shore. The bow section of the shat- tered 10,850-ton ship was nosed against the rocky beach of little known Hippa Island, battered by waves reported breaking 50 feet high against it. The after section, apparently broken off by the tremendous force of the sea, was submerged. A Coast Guard plane reported sighting only three survivors on the shore, but officers at head- quarters here drew hope for other survivors from the sighting of a lifeboat and life raft on the rocks. They said it was unlikely that only three men could have suc- ceeded in getting a cumbersome life boat safely ashore. , Others, they said, might have taken shel-] ter in adjacent woods.I was designed to take care of stu- dents first in distributing the available tickets, while at the same time minimizing the possi- bility of scalping. Married students only will be permitted two tickets. It will not be necessary for husband and wife to present themselves at the Ath- leti Building, but they will both be required to pick up their tickets in California. It is suggested that graduate students comply with the regula- tions concerning the rest of the student body, since they then will be assured of one ticket. They may not register for tickets under both student and alumni classifi- cations. Weir warned that there is no need for anyone to get down to the ticket office early, since seat allocations will be made after De- cember 1, and the time of the pur- chase will not assure choice seats. Weir also announced that his office has already received around 1,000 alumni applications since Monday morning.

Daily.I Soviet-American' Plan Goes to Full Assembly for Approval Tomorrow By The Associated Press LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 25-The "Soviet-American" plan to par- tition Palestine into Jewish and Arab countries by next Oct. 1 was ap- proved today by a vote of 25 to 13 in the 57-member Palestine cowi- mittee of the United Nations Assembly. This easily gave enough margin to carry the plan through the committee. However, on this same ballot ratio, it was one short of the two-thirds majority of those present and voting which will be required for adoption in the full Aysembly.

Campaign material may be posted but will have to be removed by 9 a.m. Friday or the candidate will be liable to a fine to be im- posed at the discretion of the elec- tion committee. Writers vital To Revival of Union Opera A special meeting of all stu- dents interested in helping to re- write and complete the book and lyrics needed to make the staging of a Union Opera next fall pos- sible is being planned for the near future, the Union Opera Com- mittee announced yesterday. "Several of the books submit- ted to the Committee show great promise," Dave Upton, Committee chairman reported. "If we can just get some interested writers to help work them into shape, we'll be able to pick out the best and then be able to go ahead with pro- duction plans," he said. Upton explained that the Com- mittee has decided to concentrate all energies on tentatively pre- senting a full scale Union Opera between Thanksgiving'and Christ- mas next fall instead of rushing a possibly incomplete show before the footlights this spring. "We're going to do everything we can to make 'the new Union Opera rival the great successes of old and well worthy of carrying on the Opera's long and colorful tra- dition," he said. The Committee has been work- See OPERA, Page 2 Clothing Drive Will Continue 'U' Students Urged To Give Generously The University Famine Com- mittee will continue the clothing drive today under the chairman- ship of Seymour Goldstein. "The purpose of this drive is to make it possible for students in Europe to attend school, which is essential for building and main- taining world peace," Goldstein stated. Students going home for Thanksgiving are asked to bring back any clothing they can spare and turn it in to their house col- lecting station or leave it at the Lane Hall desk. Clothing of all sorts is needed as well as blankets and other bedding, according to Goldstein. "The future of the child will determine the future of the world," Goldstein said. "It is our moral duty to do all we can to help the 3,000 shattered schools in Europe." Clothing, shoes and bedding are especially needed in Europe today, he added, urging students to give all they can possibly spare.I scheduled for the Assembly, all in Flushing Meadow Park, New York. The United States and Russia were the only members of the Big Five to vote for partition. Britain, which has not taken part in the long discussions except to say she would notccarry out a major role in enforcing partition, abstained along with France and China. Seventeen Abstentions There were seventeen.absten- tions in all. The Philippines and Paraguay were absent on the final rollcall in committee. Spokesmen for the Arab higher committee, representing Arabs of Palestine, and for the six Arab countries in the UN promptly an- nounced they considered the com- mittee decision "null and void" and declared they are "prepared for the worst." Jamal Hussein, vice chairman of the Arab higher committee, who sat in the UN lounge through- out the committee session in the adjacent room, told newsmen af- terward: "We know that tonight the United States and the Jewish agency will be exerting great ef- fort to get the two-thirds ma- jority." No Comment The Jewish agency for Palestine,' spokesman for the Jews of the Holy Land, said it would have no comment. "Why should we talk now," one agency representative said. The partition plan broadly is this: The British would withdraw from Palestine by next Aug. 1. The two new . countries-Arab and Jewish - would be established by Oct. 1. Jerusalem would be an inter- national city, under the eye of the UN Trusteeship Council. International City . A five-nation UN commission would be entrusted with adminis- tering the Holy Land during the transition period. The Security Council would take responsibility for making partition effective and of seeing that no threats to peace or acts of aggres- sion are committed in the Pales- tine area. The Arabs have said they will not cooperate in parti- tion. Pre-Election Ag reement on Austria Must Wait--Molotov Russia Seeks Treaty To Disarm Germany LONDON, Nov. 25-(IP)-An ap- peal by the Western Powers for at least one quick Big Four agree- ment to "assure the people of the world" failed tonight to move Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov into consenting to imme- diate consideration of an Austrian treaty. The opening of the Conference of Foreign Ministers in ancient, sedate Lancaster House, as de- scribed to correspondents by brief- ing officers, indicated that Molo- tov had changed his poition lit- tle, if any, from the meeting last April in Moscow. The Foreign Ministers of the Un.ited States, Britain, France and Russia agreed on a six point agenda, but split in the usual 3 o 1 fashion over whether Austria or Germany should get top con- s;ideration, Disarmament Treaty Molotov did agree to take up the U.S.-proposed four-power 40-year disarmament treaty against Ger- many-provided it was coupled with discussion of what Molotov said was the "failure" of the Western Povrs to carry out pres- ent demilitorization policies for the Reich. This indicated Molotov would again raise the repeatedly denied Soviet charges made in Moscow and in the Berlin Allied Control Council by Marshal Sokolowsky A ihc TThi1rd States and Brit- am were failing to disarm Ger- many. The East and West came to grips over which order should be given the items in the agenda for discussion. Britain, France and the United States said agreement was near on an Austrian treaty and added that if a quick final settlement could be reached it would reassure an "anxious world." U.S. Secretary of State Marshall said" it is very important we agree on something quickly to as- sure the people of the world." Movies Cut 10 From Payroll NEW YORK, Nov. 25-(A')-The high command of the nation's movie industry decided to drop from its payrolls the 10 Hollywood figures cited for contempt of Con- gress and at the same time an- nounced no known Communists would be hired in the future. The action was announced by Eric Johnston, President of the Motion Picture Association of America, after a two-day closed session attended by 50 of film- dom's top executives. None of the 10 men, Johnston's statement said, would be rehired until "he is acquitted or has purged himself of contempt and declared under oath that he is not a Communist." Buck Chases Man; Study Urgred r Students planning to run for election to the Student Legisla- ture have been urged by Harvey Weisberg, president, to gain some early experience with the body and its committees.

Weisberg added that such early experience may be used by candi- dates in their pre-election state- ments of qualifications. Those interested may contact either Weisberg or the legisla- ture's publicity chairman, Bar- bara Newman. 'THIRD WORLD WAR'. All-Out War on Communism In Chile Pictured by Villalon EAST ST.
