Presidei4 Philip Murray anc the nine vice-presidents of CIC made the announcement at til end of an all-day meeting. The expressed their determination t "lighten the- unbearable economi burden" they said had bee brought on by price inflation. "To this end," the union leaders anounced, "the CO0 and its affiliated unions shall proceed through the channels of collective bargaining to obtain substantial wage increases for the American workers to restore their loss in real income suf- fered through inflation and as- sure sustained purchasing power as the foundation for continued maximum employ- ment and production." The CIO's demand posed heavy additional problem for the Administration, driving agains odds to get President Truman 10-point economic prograr through a Republican Congress. In an effort to meet Congres- sional demands that it "get spe- cific" on the program, the Admin istration was drafting two anti inflation bills. At the same time, Rep. Craw ford (Rep., Mich.) introduced resolution seeking creation of special House committee to stud, what he called the influence o Adminstration policies on th inflation. Murray told reporters that the first of the collective bargaining negotiations probably will start early next year. His own Steel Workers' Union, however, will not open negotiations until April. This was taken to mean that some other CIO group such as the United Auto Workers, the Maritime Unions or the United Electrical Workers will start the ball rolling. "We are all living, in hope tha it will not be necessary to havy strikes," Murray told a question- er. The so-called first round o wage increases after V-J Da: amounted generally speaking to 181/2 cents an hour and were ob tained in the spring of 1946. 1 second round, of 15 cents, wen through last spring.

T. Coleman Andrews, former au ditor chief of the general account- ing office, told a House subcom- mittee on federal expenditures that the government's bookkeeping is so bad no one really knows whether the treasury had a sur- plus or a deficit in the last fiscal year. The "surplus" of $757,000,000 the treasury announced was "just a balance of cash," fie said, and even businesses which are broke usually have some cash on hand. Turning to RFC accounts, he said they were so "inept" that the story of what became of wartime billions could only be disclosed "if you dug hard enough. But it will never be apparent in any gov- ernment reports." Andrews appeared as the first witness in the House group's in- vestigation of RFC expenditures. Former Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones was RFC chairman from 1932 to January, 1945. Andrews blasted what he termed the selection of "political appoin- tees" to head the nation's great money - handling agencies.' He urged that such posts should go to men "who have demonstrated by every act of their lifetimes that they have no politics and who are above the civil service level with its 'fixed formula' of qualifica- tions." ager of the School of Forestry and Conservation. The actual construction of the mill was begun last winter. Stu- dents from the forestry school contributed all the labor, so there was no 'need to hire any skilled workers. Laboratory for Students The mill was finished this fall when the power was installed. Its primary purpose is to give stu- dents a laboratory in which to try out procedures learned in the school's logging and milling class, Murray said. Since it has been in operation enough lumber has been turned. out to enable the construction of .several buildings "on other Uni- versity owned acreage. Right now the mill is turning out lumber to complete a 20 by 30 garage at Sag- inaw Forest. Materials Plentiful Students enrolled in the logging and milling classes spend one af- ternoon a week working at the mill. They don't have to worry about running out of materials, for hardwood trees occupy 300 of the 700 acres owned by the Uni- versity. The rest of the woods is used for reforestation and re- search purposes. Of the total cost for construc- tion, 70 per cent was donated by alumni, and the rest made up in the form of student labor, Murray added. The mill is located about 18 miles from Ann Arbor just off the Dexter road near Peach Moun- tain. End of Long Tieup Seen in Sehuman Win Communists Oppose Premier's Program By The Associated Press PARIS, Wednesday, Dec. 3-The French National Assembly over- rode Communist opposition by a decisive margin early today and approved the first article of Premier Robert Schuman's drasitc, five-part anti-strike bill. The article suspends for three months the present French law punishing sabotage by a maxi- mum 180,000 franc ($1,500) fine and three months imprisonment. Article two, not yet voted, pro- vides substitute penalties up to a 500,000 franc ($4,200) fine and five, years imprisonment for a more broadly defined offense. The-vote favoring article one was 402 to 183, with only the As- sembly's Communist bloc opposing it. The other four articles of the bill will be debated and voted on one by one, after which there will be a vote on the bill as a whole. The vote came as France's three-week-old strike wave began receding. A highly placed neutral official said last night he believed the Communists were beginning to lose their first big offensive in the French "cold war." As the French National As- sembly neared completion of a drastic strike-control law, Min- istry of Labor sources estimated the number of strikers had dropped to "well under" 2,000,000. At its peak the strike movement had tied up nearly 3,000,000 men, it was unofficially estimated, while the Communists had placed the number at 4,000,000. De Gasperi's Party Called Uictatorship' ROME, Wednesday, Dec. 3-(P) -Italy's Communist Party early today called Premier de Gasperi's Christian Democrat Party a dic- tatorship "seeking to enslave Italy to the foreigner" and appealed for a nation-wide "labor front" to fight it. A lengthy communique issued after a two-day meeting made it clear the leftists had no intention of abandoning strikes, demonstra- tions and political violence as weapons in their three weeks old war of nerves on de Gasperi. As the active front in this war moved from northern to southern Italy, the Communist directorate sent greetings to "workers of all parties" who, it said, had dis- played their "decided will to re- sist" the "reactionary counter-of- fensive stimulated and supported" by the government. There are no Communists in de Gasperi's cabinet. Continued ig- norance of the Communists and their allies, the communique said, would be an"act of open hostility" against the workers and intellec- tuals and mean "permanent divi- sion of the nation" with "provo- cation to disorder and civil war." The Leftist "Citizens Commit- tee" of Milan, which staged a smoothly functioning near-insur- rection last week, yesterday de- clared itself "satisfied" and ap- parently signalled the end to the dispute with the government over the appointment of a prefect. Michigan Gains in Poll As Irish Hold on to First NEW YORT , Dec. 2-(IP)-Notre Dame clung to its ranking as No. 1 college football team in the Associated Press poll today and the Fighting Irish will be defending that lofty position as well as their perfect record when they collide with Southern California Saturday. Sports writers participating in the weekly balloting kept Coach Frank Leahy's all-victorious South Benders in the top spot by a mere eight points over Michigan's unbeaten Big Nine champions, compared with the 30 points which separated the two powers the previous week. Michigan Eases on Notre Dame Notre Dame drew 58' first p House GOP Asks Further Cut in Aid Bill Slash of $7,000,000 Hit as Insufficient WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-(/P)- Rank and file Republican legisla- tors called tonight for a whittling of the $590,000,000 recommended by the House Foreign Affairs Committee for emergency aid to France, Italy and Austria. G.O.P. Leader Halleck said fol- lowing a meeting of all House Re- publicans that the Committee's figure, trimmed $7,000,000 from the sum authorized by the Sen- ate yesterday, was regarded by many Representatives as "still too high." Rep. Harness (Rep., Ind.) told reporters he would like to see the winter relief fund slashed to $400,- 000,000 and Rep. Stefan (Rep., Neb.) declared that when the measure comes before the appro- priations committee, of which he is a member, "I know it's going to be cut." These economy demands pres- aged a sharp, concentrated fight when the relief measure reaches the House floor on Thursday since several Democrats have indicated they will seek to restore the full amount approved by the Senate. Halleck and Speaker Martin (Rep., Mass.) said today's confer- ence was held simply to hear the bill explained and sound senti- ment on it. The Republican lead- ership, Halleck said, is taking no position on the amount of aid that should be provided. Before the meeting Halleck told reporters he would not be sur- prised if demands were voiced to cut the $597,000,000 figure by $60,- 000,000 to $90,000,000 or more. Big ' U' Crowd Bowl Bound An estimated 1,300 students, faculty and staff members will be on hand to cheer the Wolverines to victory when they meet South- ern Cal in the Rose Bowl New Year's Day. Ticket manager Don Weir re- ports that 1,300 members of the University community applied for Pasadena pasteboards and re- ceived stubs entitling them to pick up the tickets on the West Coast. Most of the applicants were stu- dents with few faculty and staff members planning to make the trek. With the University phase of the distribution out of the way, Weir now has the job of allocat- ing his remaining tickets to Alum- ni and the general public. Thou- sands of applications from every part of the nation have been pour- ing into his office daily. Allocation will be made by lot. lace votes and Michigan got 5412, ; with three of the 129 experts call- ing first place a tie between the two. On the usual basis of ten points for a first place vote, nine for second, and so on, the Irish compiled 1,184 points to 1,176 for the Wolverines. Southern California, Pacific Coast Conference champion and Rose Bowl Host, moved into the third slot this week, changing places with Southern Methodist which dropped to fourth after missing its bid for an all-victori- ous season by playing a 19-19 tie with Texas Christian. Two Trojan Firsts The unbeaten but once-tied Trojans, who will be trying to be- come the first team in two years to whip Notre Dame Saturday, polled two first place votes and 836 points compared with 745 points and no first place ballots for Southern Methodist. The team holding the No. 1 po- sition in the final poll, as Notre Dame did last year, generally is accepted as the mythical national champion, and an upset by South- ern California Saturday could re- vamp the entire top ten. Costs Viewed By Bookstore Managers, SL Students voicing the "it's-bad- enough - we- have -to -write-the- exam" complaint concerning the price of bluebooks, will have to take the whole matter up with their professors, according to pre- dictions of five major campus bookstore managers. Meeting with the Student Leg- islature cabinet yesterday, in an effort to resolve mutual student- bookstore misunderstandings, bookstore spokesmen predicted a fall in bluebook prices by next fall. They also hinted a rise in text- book prices. In answer to questions regard- ing the rise of overhead costs com- pared with the rise in demand caused by the increased enroll- ment of students, the bookstore representativesclaimedunani- mously that overhead cots had risen out of proportion to the in- creased demand. They explained that many of their higher prices were beyond control-such as list prices or textbooks set by publishing houses and items with nationalized stand- ard prices set by manufacturers. as fountain pens and ink. The managers also cited losses attributable to an "enormous amount of shop-lifting" during rush seasons and costly mistakes made by employes. Several spokesmen made it clear that their books and income state- ments would be opened to those at the meeting who wished to verify their reports. Legislature President Harvey Weisberg, who called the joint meeting, proposed that lists of commodities comparing prices here and in other bookstores on University campuses be submitted to the Ann Arbor bookstores with adjustment of discrepancies in view. Anger Rises, Riots Spread In Holy Land Exiled Mufti Cited as ResponsihVe for Clash By The Associated Press JERUSALEM, Wednesday, Dec. 3-An unofficial casualty list showed early today that eight Jews and six Arabs were killed yesterday in bloody armed clashes during the first 24 hours of an Arab general strike protesting United Nations decision to parti- ion Palestine. Thirty-two Jews and six Arabs were wounded in the same fight- yng, which raged throughout' the dlay in Jerusalem and opened last eight in Tel Aviv, the world's only ill-Jewish metropolis, as the Fierce Arab mobs apparently 'hifted the scene of their opera- tions. Haganah, the underground Tewish group whose organized 'irmy helped British troops gain -ontrol of the situation yesterday n Jerusalem, said last night in a "ommunique that the riots were inspired by Hajamin El Husseini, 'he exiled Mufti of Jerusalem. "The hirelings of the Mufti have succeeded in turning the first day of the strike into a day of bloodshed and rowdyism," the communique said. The vortex of the whirlpool of Holy Land bloodshed and violence hifted from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv last night when a group of several hundred Arabs were seen anging the border between Tel Aviv and the all-Arab city of Jaffa. The explosion of grenades and the battle of machinegun fire be- tween the Arabs and Jewish de- fenders of Tel Aviv was heard for a long period during the night and then subsidedinto an "armed pause" when British police in ar- :nored cars routed the combat- tants. It was generally believed that the Tel Aviv situation would take a more serious turn later today and one Haganah source said "there's something cooking, but I doubt that it will be served up tonight (Tuesday)." Two Arabs and one Jew were reported killed in the Tel Aviv fighting. The riots in the Holy City be- gan when thousands of A/rabp >tormed out of the old walled city of Jerusalem and beat and stgned Jews and put the torch to Jewish property. Jews retaliated by attacking Arab cafes, stores and moving pie- Lure theatres, and smoke that arose from the fires cast a pall 'ver the entire city. Jewish sources said property lamage in Jerusalem reached $1,- 00,000 and that 50 shops were )urned or damaged and some 'ere looted.
