LVIII, No, 82 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1948 PRICE FIVE CENTS Truman Asks High Budget Of Congress Republicans Call Sum Extravagant By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-Presi- dent Truman sent to Congress to- day a $39,699,000,000 budget, a record-smasher for peacetime, and Republican lawmakers reacted swiftly with cries of "extrava- gance." In asking this sum to run the government for the fiscal year be- ginning July 1, Mr. Truman said it is needed to (1) head off "to- talitarian rule" in Western Eu- rope, (2) maintain "a modern and balanced armed force" for Amer- ica's security and (3) strengthen "the foundations of our democ- racy and the happiness of our peo- ple." He also forecast record-breaking WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-P) -Rep. Engel (Rep., Mich.), chairman of the House Appro- priations Subcommittee han- dling funds for waterway Proj- ects, today listed three Michi- gan items amorng projects ins eluded in the Army Engineers' $547,060,000 estimate for flood control and harbor construc- tion work. They are: Keeweenaw Waterway, Mich., $75,000; Manistee Harbor, $255,- 500; and St. Mary's Rivier, Mich., $3,000,000. surpluses if Congress does not cut the Nation's overall tax bill. Senator Taft (Rep., Ohio ) called the President's spending recommendations "too higl" Sen- ator Ferguson (Rep., Mich.) ac- cused Mr. Truman of "bad faith." Democrats largely went along with the President, calling the esti- mate reasonable at a time when, as Senator Connally (Dem., Tex.) put it, "the world is in a state of chaos." The total is about $2,000,000,000 larger than what Mr. Truman asked a year ago for the fiscal year ending this June 30. The biggest items: $11,000,000,000 for national defense, $7,000,000,000 for international programs, in- cluding European recovery aid. "The plain fact is that our budget must remain high," Mr. Truman wrote in his message to Congress, "until we have met our international responsibilities and can see the way clear to a peace- ful and prosperious world." Prudence demands it, he said. Turning to the expected sur- pluses, he declared the Treasury should be in the black by $7,500,- 000,000 on June 30 this year and by an additional $4,800,000,000 on ' June 30, 1949. The $7,500,000,- 000 figire would be the largest surplus for any year in history. Armed Force Expenses Set By President WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-(A)- An $11,000,000,000 fund to main- tain armed forces of 1,423,000 men next fiscal year and to help re- vamp the nation's defenses for the atomic era was urged by President, Truman today, with a warning that if Europe goes Red the costs will soar. The proposed outlay is the big- gest single item in budget recom- mendations Mr. Truman made to Congress for the year beginning next July 1. It constitutes 28 per cent of the total, and is $279,000,- 000 above the estimated defense spending for the present year. The manpower strength of 1,- 423,000 recommended for the Army, Navy and Air Force is about the same as at present. In his message of transmittal, Mr. Truman said that his budget "affords essential support to the foreign policy of the United States by encouraging widespread inter- national economic cooperation while maintaining our armed strength." And he added: "The budgetary implications of failure to achieve recovery in Eu- INSIDE RUSSIA TODAY: Bryan To Show Movies Of His Travels in USSR An illustrated lecture by traveling camerman Julien Bryan at 8 p.m. today at Hill Auditorium will take the audience "Inside Russia Today." Appearing as Oratorical Association's fifth speaker of the season, Bryan will prevent a full-length, natural color motion picture which he made in Russia during the most recent of his extensive world travels. Bryan has appeared in Ann Arbor several times previous to to- night's engagement, speaking three successive nights in 1941 to capacity houses-a record held by no other speaker. Other audiences1 * * * have seen his "documentary films of history in the making" from JULIEN BRYAN ... to speak here Senator Defies Marshall Plane Budget Limits Cost Called Beyond Exact Determination WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-()- Chairman Vandenberg (R.-Mich.) hinted strongly today that the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee will not be bound by the $6,- 800,000,000 figure submitted by the Truman administration as the initial cost of the "Marshall Plan." Noting that there are many dif- ferences in estimates prepared by the State Department and those made by the Harriman Committee which investigated this country's ability to supply Europe's needs. Vandenberg said: "Does not the whole compari- son clearly indicate that there is nothing sacrosanct about the fig- ure of $6,800,000,000?" Made Changes He added that the final figure might be more or might be less and said that the committee would not "ipso facto" ruin the program if it made some changes. Vandenberg made his comments during testimony by Richard M. Bissell, Jr., executive secretary of the Harriman Committee. The administration, meanwhile, pressed on three fronts its drive for early adoption of the prob- lem, contending that multi-billion dollar aid now would be cheaper in the long run than "hall-way" measures. Express Willingness Chief backers of the European recovery program expressed will- ingness to meet Republican de- mands for "businesslike" opera- tion of the program but stood firm on their insistence that the State Department have over-all supervision. Marshall assured the committee he had an "open mind" on the details of administration. justice Get d Col PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12-(A)- There was no justice in Quarter Sessions Court today. As a matter of fact, there wasn't even a judge.' When the heating system failed, Judge Thomas Bluett shivered,' turned up his coat collar, indefi- nitely postponed six criminal cases, then went out into the cor- ridor to get warm. Turkey, Poland, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. The camera and its possibilities always fascinated Bryan, but un- like most cameramen seeking "spot" news, he has specialized in film studies of many parts of the globe. As a background for the film he will present tonight, he familiarized himself with the problems of Russia and set as his goal an up-to-date photographic documentation of the nation and its peoples. Because of his long standing fa- miliarity with the Soviet scene, he has been able to make striking comparisons with the Russia of five, ten and fifteen years ago. To- night's motion picture is believed to be the first complete full-color feature ever made by a foreigner in the Soviet Union. During his trip, he paid his own expense as an unofficial observer for UNRRA, and for three months he made pictures in weather which was often twenty degrees below zero. He moved freely through all the devastated areas of White Russia and the Ukraine, coming home with a completely uncensored film.n Among the many interesting subjects covered are factories, housing developments, harbors, schools, and collective farm life. Tickets for the lecture will be available at the Hill Auditorium box office until lecture time to- day. - VilkigeCounci VBars Housinga r Management Representatives of the Willow Village Housing management will be admitted to meeting of the Willow Village Resident Council by invitation only, according to a motion passed by the Council at its meeting Sunday night. 1 Thomas Scanlon, leasee of the garage next to the fire station in the Village, appeared before the Council in an effort to get a more equitable rent standard both for himself and for others in the Vil- lage. Scanlon stated that the pres- ent rent standard was unequal and unfair and that there was a marked difference in the rent he paid and that paid by other gas stations in the Village. The Coun- cil voted to investigate the matter and a committee was appointed. A committee was appointed to see the Sheriff about the enforce- ment of patrols in the Village. At the same time the Council ex- pressed a desire for enforcement of the 10 p.m. curfew for all un- derage children in the Village. The Council also voted to ask the Housing Authority manage- ment to clarify its' policy concern- ing payment and assessment of damages in the case of fire in any of the dwellings. It was announced at the meet- ing that within a few months a cooperative store will be set up by some of the union locals and sev- eral other organizations. There will be a $2 fee charged for mem- bers of the organizations taking part in the establishment of the store and a $5 fee for all out- siders. This will be the only fee charged. A check of phone booths in the Village will be made by the Coun- cil in an effort to find out if more are needed for more equal dis- tribution. Jews Push UN Decision In Holy Land New Killings Put Death Toll at 699 By The Associated Press JERUSALEM, Jan. 12-Against a background of virtual civil war the Jews of the Holy Land went forward today with their plans for a provisional government for the separate Jewish state to be estab- lished in accordance with the de- cision of the United Nations. There was no surcease from the crackle of gunfire which has sounded day and night since the Nov. 29 decision of the United Nations, and new killings today boosted the unofficial death count' to 699 in Palestine for that pe- riod. Three Arabs Dead Three Arabs were killed and seven British soldiers were wound- ed in a gun battle that developed_ in Beit Safafa, a Jerusalem sub- urb, an official announcement said. The Arabs were directing sniper fire at an army fire brigade fighting a blaze in a flour mill, and the battle resulted when the1 troops tried to clear out the house where the snipers were situated.f Three Jews were killed in Haifa and on the Haifa-Tel Aviv road and two Arabs were slain in scat- tered rural raids. Refuse Planning The Arabs refused to even dis- cuss plans for the part of Pales- tine allotted to them by the Unit-c ed Nations. The Arab higher com- mittee declared it would neither recognize partition nor permit it to be accomplished. Details of the planning for the provisional Jewish governmentt were disclosed by a spokesman for( the Jewish agency, who told aI news conference that the blood-1 shed of the past six weeks has notc retarded progress in any way. He said the formation of 15 ministries of the provisional gov- ernment, which will have an an-t nual budget of approximately $50,000,000, would be completed by the end of this month. The spokesman said that secur-~ ity provisions, including formation of a militia, was being excluded from the planning since "that is a matter for Hagana at present and will be integrated when the time comes.". Haganga is the Jewish militia. Court Acts onI Discrimination Oklahoma Must Open Law School to NegroF WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-(P)-F The Supreme Court held today4 that Negroes are entitled nottonly to receive in State institutions any sort of educational training that Whites can get in such schools, but also to get it as quickly as anyI other group. Strict application of the order would give the state of Oklahoma just three days to admit a Negro girl, Ada Lois Sipuel, to the Law School at the all White Univer-i sity of Oklahoma, or set up sep- arate and equal facilities for her. A new semester inbwhich white students can enter begins Janu- ary 15. There is no: Oklahoma State law school for Negroes now. The applicant already has been waiting two years while the case was in -litigation. Speed was the main point in to- day's ruling. Negroes' right to equal facilities, and to have them in institutions of their own states,1 had been affirmed by the high court in a Missouri case 10 years ago. Counsel for Miss Sipuel con- tended in the appeal that the Mis- souri ruling should be made stronger on the issue of time, and the high court complied.

Wells, president of Indiana University, just inside the Russian sector of Berlin and held him for three hours before releas- ing him, U.S. Army police said today. Wells, on leave of absence from his Indiana University post, now is serving as chief of the U.S. mili- tary government's education branch. Wells gave this account of the incident: He and other members of the party had parked their car before an art gallery in Potsdamer Platz.

Good Chance for Increase In Allowance Seen by AVC (Special to The Daily) WASHINGTON-Prospects of Congressional action to increase subsistence allowances for student-vets early this session appear bright, Chat Paterson, national chairman of the American Veterans Committee, said today. Paterson said that he had been told by House Speaker Martin that House action on the Senate a * * * House Gives Vet Snowballs Cold Shoulder WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-(P)- Some Michigan congressmen had icicle-like comment today for the snowballs with which student vet- erans in the State bombarded them as part of "Operation Sub- sistence." The white plastic balls, some- what larger than ping pong balls, began pouring through the mails to the Michigan congressional delegation to dramatize the vet- erans' demands for increased sub- sistence allowances. A delegation of 17 student vet- erans from Michigan colleges ap- peared on Capitol Hill to press. the campaign wtih personal calls on Michigan congressmen. Rep. Woodruff (Rep., Mich.) arranged for them to meet with all the House members from the State to- morrow morning. Rep. Dondero (Rep., Mich.) said he told the ex-GI's that they were "making a mistake and hurting their cause more than they were helping it." Rep. Michener (Rep., Mich), whose district includes the Uni- versity of Michigan, told a report- er, "I do not think this type of campaign will have anyeappreci- able effect on how a member of Congress votes on this very impor- tant question." He said he does not know where the snowball idea originated but he termed it "a nuisance so far as postal employes are concerned." He did say, though, that he has re- ceived "a sufficient number for a nice office bouquet." In contrast with some of the Re- publicans, Rep. Dingell (Dem., Mich.) said he believes the stu- dent subsistence allowances ought to be "liberalized" because of high prices. He added he does not think the- amount asked by the group isI excessive. approved bill increasing allowances "$10 for single veterans and $15 for married veterans could be ex- pected near the beginning of the present session. The AVC chairman said that his organization would press for amendment of the legislation on the floor to provide for increases of $35 for both single and married veterans. A delegation representing Op- eration Subsistence Michigan, in- cluding chairman George Anton- ofsky and Bettie Baker, University students, are currently in Wash- ington to loin a national lobby for increased subsistence. They will call on Speaker Mar- tin, House Floor Leader Charles Halleck, and House Veterans Af- fairs Committee chairman Edith Nourse Rogers to explain the plight of the student veterans. "If Congress is to keep faith with the promises made in passing the GI Bill, iminedi4te increases must be approved by Congress," Paterson said. Paterson predicted too that the House would act affirmatively on veterans' bills boosting upward ceilings on combined wages and allowances of ex-GI on-the-job trainees and student veterans.
