GOP Pushes
Tax Reduction
Form Alternate Plan
To Truman's Policy
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4--(P)-
Brushing aside President Tru-
man's program for anti-inflation
economic controls, Republican
leaders moved today toward an
economic program of their own-
which may be topped by a new
call for a $4,000,000,000 tax reduc-
tion.
- Chairman Wolcott (Rep., Mich)
of the House Banking Commit-
'tee told reporters after a closed-
door session of top G.O.P. Sena-
tors and Representatives "we ex-
pect to have our own program."
The voluntary approach, it was
understood, would rule out the
President's request for authority
to use compulsory price-wage and
rationing controls on a limited
basis.
Moreover, it still was not clear
whether the Republicans would
approve a restoration of controls
over consumer credit, including
installment buying.

To Stop Discrimination
IRA Pickets Barbershops;Two of Four
Proprietors Report Increases in Business
By- PAT JAMES
More than 150 students yesterday joined the four-hour picket
lines outside four local barbershops as IRA took action to eliminate
racial discrimination in Ann Arbor barbershops.
The nickets carried signs bearing such slogans as "Jim Crow
Must Go!" "A Law-Abiding Citizen Obeys the Law, The Law Says:
No Discrimination in Barber Shoes: Diggs Law," and "This Shoo- Dis-
criminates!" They also distributed approximately 9.000 pamphlets to
passers-by.

Editor's Talk
Opens Series
Of TU' Lectures
James R. Wiggins, managing ed-
itor of the Washington Post will
speak on "Impact of the News"
at 8 p.m. today in the Rackham
Amphitheatre.
The talk will initiate a series of
.University lectures in journalism
which will be made during the
term by outstanding editors and
publishers.
During the afternoon, Wiggins
will speak on "Racial Minorities
in the News" when he addresses
students studying editorial man-
agement and policy.
Only the evening lecture will be
open to the public.
Before joining the staff of the
Washington Post, Wiggins was as-
sistant to the publisher of the
New York Times. Previously, he
had worked for the St. Paul Pio-
rcer Press as editorial writer,
Washington correspondent, man-
aging editor and then editor.
He continued as editor of the
St. Paul paper until 1942 , when
he entered the Army. While in
service he served as instructor in
a~n AAF Intelligence School and
as a member of the Joint Intel-
ligence Collecting Agency and the
Twelfth Fighter Command in the
Mediterranean theatre.
Wiggins has served as lecturer
in journalism at Macalester Col-
lege in St. Paul and at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota.
of the barbershops being picketed
virtually ceased after 1:30 p.m.
Two of the proprietors, however,
maintained that the picketing had
helped their business.
Ed Emmert, proprietor of one
of the picketed barbershops, said:
"This is helping business. This is
the best business we have had in
two years." Emmertdalso restated
the reason for his discriminating
policy. "I have never cut a colored
person's hair. I have never had
any ask me to cut their hair and
I wouldn't know how to cut it if
they did."
The pickets included IRA mem-
bers, independent members of
AVC, YPCM, MYDA, and students
not affiliated with any group.
Urge SL Poll
IRA annuounced that it intends
to picket the same barbershops
again today. The group has also
urged the Student Legislature to
conduct a poll asking the ques-
tion: "Would, you be willing to
have your hair cut at a barber-
shop which serves Negroes?"
Local reaction ranged all the
way from indignant comments
about student attempts to in-
fringe upon the community's
rights to warmly expressed ap-
proval for the action the pickets
were taking. Two complaints about
the pickets were reported to the
police, but no violations were
found.
No Increase in Business
The Union barbershops, one of
the three local establishments
which does not discriminate, re-
ported no noticeable increase in
business as a result of"the picket-
ing.
An IRA member said that pick-
eting of barbershops would con-
tinue until the Ann Arbor Bar-
ber's Association consents to meet
with representatives ofIP A
Joe Kneiper, president of the
Barber's Association, declined to
comment.
'Shoe Shine'
Opens Today
"Shoe Shine," the Italian film
which has been acclaimed so wide-
ly both in this country and abroad,
will be presented at 8:30 p.m. to-
day and tomorrow in Hill Audi-
torium.
The film, which tells the story
most concise picture of postwar
of the demoralization of two Ital-
ian "shine" boys, "provides the
European childhood that has yet
been seen here," according to the
New Yorker.
Tickets for the film, which has
complete English subtitles, may
be purchased at the Hill Auditori-
um box office.
'U'Students
Disagree on
IRA Methods
Survey Discloses
Various Opinions
Virtually every University stu-
dent contacted in a Daily survey
yesterday opposed discrimination,
but at the same time many are
undecided as to the best methods
of eliminating it.
The Daily contacted 35 students
on the Diagonal, the League and
Union for opinions on "Operation
Haircut." The question asked was:
"What is your opinion of the
campaign to eliminate discrim-
ination in barber shops?"
Varied Opinions
Seven students had no comment
on the issue, Seven gave unqual-
ified support to IRA's program.
The remaining 21 students agreed
with the general object of the
anti-discrimination campaign, but
questioned methods used in carry-
ing out the drive.
The following comments are
representative answers:
Bill Smith, Grad.-I am in fa-
vor of the operation and think
students should organize a boycott
of discriminatory Barber Shops.
Cleland Nelson, '48-Naturally I
am opposed to discrimination but
I think that inasmuch as the bar-
ber renders personal services he
should not be forced to serve cus-.
tomers against his will.
Against Discrimination, But ...
Roger Brown, '50-I am against
discrimination but wonder if the
way IRA is going about it is doing
any good.
Ida Greenswag, '49-I don't like
discrimination in any form, and
I am sick of passive resistance.
This campaign brings issues to the
surface. I am also in favor of
IRA's picketing."
Dave Lipner, '48-The basic idea
is fine, but I don't know if the
proper methods are being used.
However, I don't have any con-
crete suggestions."
K-G. Hill-There-should be no
discrimination but I don't ap-
prove of the methods being used
by IRA. They are ridiculous and

In Palestine
JERUSALEM, Dec. 4-UP)-The
possibility that the entire Arab
world will invade Palestine with
organized armies to fight the
United Nations' partition of the
Holy Land was hinted today as
Arab leaders lent their support to
overt recruiting campaigns
throughout the Middle East.
Volunteers flocked to the Arab
colors in many Arab states and
vague reports circulated in many
places of an invasion of the Holy
Land from other countries to fight
the Jews.
Bloodshed and disorders were
widespread throughout the Middle
East and in Baghdad; the capital
of Iraq, the office of the United
States Information Service was
raided and wrecked. In Palestine,
angry Arabs took their fight to
the highways, as a wall of en-
circling British troops and police
kept apart would-be combatants in

List of 'Disloyal'
Groups Revealed
By Government
11 Schools, 71 Organizations Tagged
Subversive in Official Publication
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dc. 4-The government's official list of "totali-
tarian, fascist, communist or subversive" organizations appeared to-
night, with far fewer names on it than had been generally expected in
Washington.
In all, 71 organizations and 11 schools were listed by the Attor-
ney General and made public by the President's loyalty review board,
but 47 of the organizations were carried over from a 1943 list which
included some supposedly now-defunct German and Japanese groups.

Approaching Election Brings
Study of Student Government
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
of a series of interpretative articles
on the Student Legislature as a re-
port to the student body on prob-

By NAOMI STERN
The approaching all-campus
election has once again brought
the problems and functions of stu-
dent government before the stu-
dent body.
Student government here is still
young and in a formative stage.
However, its very ability to achieve
its goals is completely dependent
on the support of the students.
It was through student support ex-
pressed in polls and referendums
that the present student govern-
ment was initiated, and it will be
through student apathy that it
must die, as have other attempts

forums.

a coordinating body for all cam-
pus activities.
Called the Council-Forum plan
for student government, it was to
consist of a forum, composed of
the heads of all recognized campus
organizations and a nine-man
council elected by the campus at
large.
An all campus ratification was
to be asked in an election to be
held the following March.mand pro-
ponents of the plan formulated a
systematic campaign to arouse
student opinion.
