Naming Grain
Speculators
House May Consider
Legislation Today
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 - VP)
Legislation clearing the way for
publication of the names of heavy
traders in commodities was passed
by the Senate tonight and sent to
the House.
Speaker Martin (Rep., Mass.)
told reporters the House will con-
sider it tomorrow "if we can."
The Senate action, on a voice
vote, came soon after President
Truman said that names held by
the Agriculture Department
should be made public, but Con-
gress must vote approval before it
could be done.
The President said Congress
had no right to get the list "in se-
cret."
Secretary Anderson, the Presi-
dent said, "properly refected" a
proposal by the Senate Appro-
priations Committee that he sup-
ply the list of speculators to the
committee on a confidential basis,
pending authorization by Con-
gress of full disclosure.
Congress should "take some ac-
tion" permitting Anderson to dis-
close the list publicly, Mr. Tru-
man told a news conference.
The conference topped a busy
day in the search for commodity
speculators-s0me of whom, ac-
cording to Harold ~E. Stassen, are
members of the government, en-
gaged in deals for profit based on
confidential, official information.
The House voted for a broad in-
vestigation of commodity specula-
tion and the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee voted to ask Con-
gress to direct Secretary Ander-
son to make public the Agricul-
ture Department's data on who
bought commodities heavily, and
on what dates.

no intention of leaving the United
States for another "Big Three"~

ton.

Unclaimed Vet Checks
Checks are held at; the Ann

out second half attack to make
their season opener a complete
success.
It was the aggressive mid-court
ball-hawking and excellent pivot
play of the Spartan center, Bob
Brannum, that was a constant
thorn in the side of the Maize and
Blue. The former All-American
hoopster at Kentucky in 1944, who
transferred to State this spring,
delighted the partisan crowd of
7,633 as he paced the evening's
scorers with a total of 14 points,
earned on five goals and four
fouls.
The spark plug Brannum was
forced to retire with five personal
fouls with four minutes to play,
but the Spartans commanded a
respectable 43-36 lead at the
time.
Lanky Bill Roberts, Michigan's
starting center who was given
a rough going over by Brannum'
tossed in a foul shot immnediately'
after the Spartan ace left the
floor to make the score 43-37.
At this point, the home quin-
tet, which bowed twice to Mich-
igan last year, did a terrific job
of freezing the ball. Don Mac-
Michigan Hockey Team defeats
Toronto, 3-2.

Intosh's charity toss for the Wol-
verines was the only tally made in
the final three and one half min-
utes.
The Spartans kissed each other
as they left the floor with their
hard-earned victory. It was the
game they wanted to win above
all else, not oonly because of the
tradition-steeped rivalry between
the two schools, but because they
wanted to win it for their head
coach who recently underwent a
operation.
Tonight's game was the first
season opener that Van Alstyne
failed to direct in his 22 years as
head hoop mentor here.
Assistant Coach Al Kircher,
made clever use of the Spartan
substitutes, especially in the sec-
ond half.

was Michigan's chief poiit-pro-
ducer, racking up 13 tallies on four
baskets and five fouls. Bill Mik-

Court Hears
Dascola Say
Not Guilty'
Set Trial Dec. 26;
IRA Dissatisfied
DominicDascola, local barber,
pleaded not guilty yesterday to
charges of violating a Michigan
civil liberties statute by denying
service to a Negro customer.
Dascola appeared in municipal
court following complaint of Wil-
liam H. Grier, '48M. Trial was set
for 2 p.m. Dec. 26.
IRA Sponsored
The case was filed in conjunc-
tion with the Inter-Racial Asso-
ciation's "Operation Haircut," a
drive to eliminate discrimination
in local barber shops. IRA mem-
bers expressed dissatisfaction with
the trial date, saying most of the
students who were witnesses
I would be away for Christmas va-
cation.
Lee Salk, educational director of
IRA, said Dascola is not only vio-
lating the law, but also disregard-
ing the wishes of many student
customers as expressed in a recent
opinion poll taken by the Student
Legislature.
Dascola refused to comment on
any phase of the7 trial when con-
tacted by The Daily yesterday.
Based on Diggs Act
Violation of sections 146 and
147 of the Diggs Act, under which
the barber is being prosecuted, is
classed as a misdemeanor and
carries with it maximum penal-
ties of $100 fine and 90 days in
jail.
A similar case, involving a Uni-
versitybgraduate student and a
local bartender was brought be-
fore a jury in municipal court last
year and returned with a verdict
of not guilty.

ROSE BOWL BOUND:
Students Cheer Wolveriines
In Sub-Twenty Temperatures

Braving temperatures in the
sub-twenties, a spirited throng of
about 400 students and friends
gave the Rose Bowl-bound Wol-
verines a hearty send-off yester-
day at the Ann Arbor depot.
As the team boarded the Mer-
cury at 1:31 p.m., the crowd broke
out with "The Victors" and "Cal-
fornia Here I Come." Players al-
ready on board, many of them
lipstick-smeared, grinned back
and waved as the crowd fol-
lowed with several 'M' yells.
Before the train's arrival, shiv-
ering and stamping players wait-
ing outside the station were inter-
viewed by radio stations WJR and
WHRV, and by local newsmen.
Bill Pritula, one of four players
who took his wife on the train,
said, "We get off the train Sat-
urday morning and go straight to
the field for practice. We're com-
ing back the day after the game-
not much time spent in sunny
California."
The Pritulas, standing with the
three other wives, were at that
moment being filmed by J. T.

'Tax Reduction
Says Large Sorplus
Does Not Justify Cut
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18--(')-
President Truman spoke out to-
day against any immediate cut
in taxes shortly after Rep. Knut-
son ( Rep.-Minn.) introduced what
he described as a "veto proof" bill
to scale down the individual in-
come tax burden by $5,600,000,000.
The President took his stand at
a news conference when a reporter
called to heis attention recurrent
reports that the federal budget
will develop a $7,000,000,000 sur-
talus in the current fiscal year,
half again as much as Mr. Tru-
man's latest estimate. What ef-
feet would such a surplus have
on his tax views, the reporter in-
quired.
The President said he does not
believe such a surplus would jus-
tify a tax reduction.
He declined, however, to say;
definitely whether he would op-
pose a tax cut next year. That
question will be answered, he said,
when he delivers his message to
Congress next month on the state
Ways and Means Committee
of the union.

Though the spectators were in
high spirits, several complained

China Included
Ii Senate Plan
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18- The
Senate Appropriations Committee
recommended tonight that Con-
gress vote $570,000,000, including
$20,000,000 for China, for emer-
gency foreign aid.
Working until late into the1
night, the committee voted to rec-;
ommend to the Senate tomorrowf
that it approve appropriations
$61,000,000 larger than those ap-
proved earlier this week by the
House. .
China Funds AddedI
The $20,000,000 for China was
not in the House bill.
In addition the committee rec-
ommended an appropriation of
$490,000,000 for government costs1
and relief in occupied Germany,
Japan and Korea.
This figure was the amount
asked by the army, and represents
an increase of $260,000,000 over
the $230,000,000 approved by the
House.
Chairman Bridges ,(Rep., N.H.)
told newsmen the bill, which car-
ries a total of $1,091,246,500, or
$318,520,000 more than was voted
by the House late yesterday, was
approved unanimously.
The newly recommended amount
for foreign aid is $27,000,000 un-
der the $597,000,000 authorized
by Congress earlier in the present,
special session for stop-gap relief
to France, Italy and Austria.
Farm Bureau
Asks Controls
Federation Advocates
VaryingParity Scale
CHICAGO, Dec. 18- (P) - The
American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion adopted a program today call-
ing for a continuation of govern-
ment price supports, but on a
varying scale of 60 to 90 per cent
of parity, regardless of whether
marketing quotas are imposed.
Meanwhile, Allen B. Kline, 52,
of Des Moines and Vinton, Ia.,
stockman and World War 1 vet-
eran, was elected federation presi-
dent succeeding Edward A. O'Neal,
retiring after serving since 1931.
Under the present government
price support program which ends
the last day of 1948, prices of 90
per cent of parity are guaranteed
on basic and other various com-
n~odities. Parity is the theoretical
price given to a farm product to
represent its purchasing power in
some past favorable period, usu-
ally 1909-14.
Marketing quotas were in ef-
feet prior to America's entry into
World War 2. They restricted the
amount of farm products a farm-
er could send to market, provided
the farmer did not comply with
production allotments determined
by the government. Any market-
ing done above quotas was done
without benefit of price supports.

point Republican anti-inflation

ments designed to hold prices in

Debate Issue
Resolution Condemns
Recent 'Mob Tactics'
A resolution condemning the
mob tactics used against Gerhart
Eisler Monday night, and backing
the Student Legislature's drive to
bring Eisler back to speak on cam-
pus was unanimously passed last
night at the second meeting of the
University chapter of the Michi-
gan Council for Academic Free-
dom.
The resolution laid the blame
for the mob on the refusal of Uni-
versity officials to permit Eisler
to speak on campus, and recom-
mended that disciplinary action
be taken against participants in
the disturbance.
Copies of the resolution will be
mailed to President Ruthven and
University officials.
Letters of apology to Eisler and
Carl Marzani were signed by rep-
resentatives of several campus or-
ganizations, after being presented
by Ed Shaffer, MYDA chairman.
Another motion was passed to
,investigate University by-laws and
to examine the criteria unde
which the Student Affairs Con-
mittee operates with reference to

Ruthven Refers
Eisler Debate
Explaining that the University's
banning of Gerhart Eisler was not
a blanket refusal, President Alex
ander G. Ruthven yesterday to
Student representatives that their
proposal for a debate in which the
Communist would participat
would have to be cleared by the
University Lecture Committee.
In their meeting Tuesday, the
Student Legislature voted to spon-
sor a debate between Eisler and a
qualified University speaker as a
"face-saving device," following
the near riot on campus Monday
night.
The Legislature's Educational
and Cultural Committee, which is
handling the proposal, plans to
contact Prof. Carl G. Brandt,
chairman of the University Lec-
ture Committee, after the holi-
days, Mim Levy, co-chairman said.

2. Extend export controls
through Feb. 28, 1949.
3. Continue transportation con-
trols through Feb. 28, 1949.
Democrats battled unsuccess-
fully for two days to write tough-
ening amendments into the bill,
but with few exceptions fell in
line in support of it on the final
vote after minority leader Bark-
ley (Ky.) declared he found "more
good than bad" in the measure.
Two Presidential Requests
Barkley noted that the bill as
Taft introduced ithcontained two
sections of the President's 10-
point cost of living program-eX-
tension of export and transporta-
tion controls.

House Votes
To Investigate
'Grey Market'
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-(/P)-
. Congressional investigation of
"Grey Market" operations was
voted unanimously by the House
today to stamp out or expose
"conspiratorial practices which
seriously undermine and threaten
;he national economy."
Withouta dissenting voice, the
'esolution authored by 'Rep. Macy
(Rep., N.Y.) was adopted after
lep. Clarence Brown (Rep., Ohio)
told the House that "Grey Mar-
'let" practices have jeopardized
he nation's public works program
mnd the construction of new
'omes.
Brown said the resolution was
)riginally worded to investigate
black market" operation, but he
,xplained that the phrase "Black
Market" no longer applies since
price controls have been lifted.
"In these so-called Grey Mar-
kets, many commodities are sold
in peculiar ways at prices higher
than the going prices," Brown
said.
The resolution authorizes the
House Public Works Committee
to undertake the investigation and
hold nationwide hearings with the
power to subpoena witnesses and
records.
Brown, himself a publisher, said
-peculation in newsprint has
)oosted the price of that commod-
ity and there is no particular law
against it," But, he said, the
"spotlight of publicity will have
a, great moral effect" in wiping
jut such practices.
Rep. McCormack (Dem., Mass.)

contractor who paid $15 a keg for
nails on the "Grey Market" com-
pared with the "legitimate price"
of $6 a keg.
