Court Orders
Strike Halted;
Taft Act Used
Other Disputes
Still Undecided
By The Associated Press
The first court order issued un-
der the Taft-Hartley Act was
credited with halting an Albany.
N. Y., longshoremen's strike Fri-
day but in Mississippi National
Guardsmen were reportedly or-
dered to protect a strike harassed
bus line from further violence.
Three other major disputes in-
volving airline service to Europe,
west coast shipping, and the
Chrysler Corporation further
clouded the labor scene.
Busses Protected
In Hattiesburg, Miss., an au-
thoritative source said the
guardsmen were ordered to pro-
tect vehicles of Southern Bus
Lines, Inc., after one bus was fired
upon yesterday a n d another
stoned. Gov. Fielding wright had
previously said he would authorize
the guards to "shoot to kill" if
violence continued in the 136 day
old strike of AFL company driv-
ers over wages.
Some 37 members of the AFL
International Longshoremen's As-
sociation returned to work Fri-
day, and a spokesman for one of
two companies supplying the men
at the port said additional workers
would be called as ships and
barges dock. The men's return
followed issuance of a temporary
restraining order, effective for five
days, calling on the union to end
the strike and directing it to ap-
pear in Syracuse Tuesday to show
cause why an injunction should
not be issued.
Judge Signs Order
The order was signed Thursday
in New York by Federal Judge
Stephen Brennan on grounds that
the ILA was violating sections of
the new labor law prohibiting sec-
ondary boycotts.
The 10 day old strike at the
port of Albany and the state barge'
canal arose over a shipping fran-
chise.
Planes Grounded
Planes of the American Over-
seas Airlines to northern Europe
remained grounded due to a four-
day old strike of the 173 pilots and
co-pilots, members of the AFL Air
Lines Pilots Association. The air-
line announced it had issued fur-
lough notices to other employes
due to the strike.
In Chicago, David L. Behncke,
president of the Pilots Associa-
tion, said he had agreed to meet in
Washington Monday with the Na-
tional Mediation Board.
On the West Coast, Los Angeles
and Long Beach, Calif., harbors
remained closed in a dispute be-
tween CIO longshoremen and
waterfront employers.
Distillers Give
Pledge To Cut
Use of Grain
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3-(Al)-
The President's Food Committee
got a pledge from about half the
distilling industry tonight to cut
the use of grain for liquor in order
to help feed Europe.
But one big distilling company
declared the pact "doesn't accom-
plish enough" and called for a
complete shutdown of the indus-
try.
Telegram Sent
Publicker Industries, Inc., one
of the "big five" distilleries, sent
a telegram to Charles Luckman,
chairman of the Food committee,
saying:
"In view of the international'
food crisis and the huge quanti-
ties of grain now being used for
beverage production, our com-
panies, representing a large part

Army Absolves
Lee in Italian
Investigation
Eisenhower Praises
Veteran West Pointer
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3--The
Army gave Lt. Gen. John C. H.
Lee a clean bill of health today
and marked "closed" its investi-
gation of Army life in Italy ex-
cept for orders to correct what
it called occasional "errors" in the
treatment of enlisted men.
Lee, a veteran West Pointer who
is called "Court House Lee" by
critics of his discipline, was said
by General Dwight D. Eisenhower
to have "performed a service to
his country which has won the
approbation of associates both
civilian and military."
Series of Articles
The investigation of Lee's con-
duct as commander of the Italian
theater stemmed from a series of
articles in which Robert C. Ruark,
a Scripps-Howard newspaper col-
umnist, related charges of mis-
treatment of enlisted men and
lavish living by officers under Lee.
In New York, Ruark said he in-
tended to study the official Army
report before replying and "in my
own good time I will have the
necessary answer."
Wyche's Report
Maj. Gen. Ira I. Wyche, Army
Inspector-General, made the re-
port. He said Ruark's charges
were based on "a few facts, half
facts, rumors and untruths." He
said there have been only "a few
isolated cases of maladministra-
tion and probable miscarriages of
justice, none of which were con-
doned and fostered by Gen. Lee."
However, in a memorandum
which Eisenhower attached to the
12,000 word report, the Army Chief
of Staff noted that there had been
some "errors." He said he was
sending out orders to the new
theatre commander (General Lee
is in this country awaiting re-
tirement) to correct them.
"Undue Pressure"
Specifically, Eisenhower said
that:
General Lee should "have taken
special steps" to make clear that
his endorsement of membership in,
an organization called the "Fel-
lowship of U.S.-British Comrades"
could not be taken assan order
to join it. He said there was "un-
due pressure exercised by com-
manders to induce subordinates to
join fraternal organizations."
There were two errors in treat-
ing military prisoners: minor of-
fenders, some of them quite young,
were locked up with men guilty of
the worst sort of crime.

FIRST OF ITS KIND:
University Receives Veterans
Center at Dedication Service
By JOE FREIN
The new, half-million dollar Veterans Readjustment Center was
officially turned over to the University of Michigan Hospital for
operation at dedication ceremonies yesterday.
Gov. Kim Sigler of Michigan formally transferred responsibility
for the Center to President Alexander G. Ruthven who accepted in
behalf of the University.
President Ruthven pledged the University "would spare no efforts
in carrying out the purposes of the Center with the greatest efficiency."
Dr. Raymond W. Waggoner, director of the University's Neuro-
4psychiatric Institute will supervise
Victory in '48
Seen by Chief
Of Republicans
DETROIT, Oct. 3-01P)-Repub-
lican National Chairman Carroll
Reece expressed belief today that
the GOP would win the Presi-
dency in 1948 "regardless of which
of several good potential candi-
dates we nominate."
He declined comment when
asked which probable candidate
appeared to be ahead for the GOP
nomination, but asserted, "It's a
healthy sign when there are so
many good men seeking it."
Reece, in a speech at the con-
cluding session of a two-day con-
ference of Republican women
leaders from 19 midwestern states,
termed the high cost of living
"probably the most immediately
acute problem facing the nation."
He asserted, "the cold, brutal
fact is that we have in the United
States, a serious degree of infla-
tion and we are threatened with
still more inflation." 7
Reece declared, "there is a
widespread campaign afoot to
bring about reinstitution of price
controls and it is significant that
many of the advocates of such a
policy are also persons who look
with a friendly eyeon a controlled
economy." t
Reece said that if price con-
trols are re-established, the na-
tion will have to bring back food
rationing and controls on wages.
the Center.
Intensive Treatment
He explained that veterans "suf-
fering from early mental illness
and mild emotional disturbance
will be accepted by the Center for
a relatively brief period of inten-
sive treatment, averaging six to
eight weeks.
Dr. Waggoner pointed out that
the Center was the only one of its
kind in the nation and predicted
it would play an important role
in the treatment of psycholog-
ically disturbed veterans.
Service Expansion
Inasmuch as the Veterans Ad-
ministration possessed limited fa-
cilities for the early treatment of
mild psychiatric cases, the Center
will mark an expansion of this
service to Michigan veterans and
replace temporary facilities pro-
vided in the University Hospital
during the last two years, he said.
Formal hospital atmosphere has
purposely been avoided in the con-
struction of the building to facili-
tate the Center's program of
treatment, Dr. Waggoner ex-
plained.
Homelike Appearance
He said that everything possible
had been done to give a home-like
appearance to the Center's i-
commodations and to provide fa-
cilities "which would enable pa-
tients to do the things they might
do in their own homes."
Major Garnet Burlingame, chief
of the rehabilitation of the Mich-
igan State Office of Veterans Af-
fairs pointed out that the need
for Center had arisen after it be-
came obvious that 14 local clinics
set up in the state to provide psy-
chiatric services for veterans could
not extend short in-patient service
when necessary.
Dodgers Beat
Bevens, 3-2,
With One Hit
Lavagetto Hits
To Even Series
By The Associated Press
EBBETS FIELD, Brooklyn, Oct.
3-Floyd (Bill) Bevens of the New
York Yankees was two strikes
away from a no-hit game an
baseball immortality today when
Harry "Cookie" Lavagetto, veteran
Brooklyn pinchhitter, lashed a vi-
cious double off the right field
wall at Ebbets Field to knock
across two runs and give the
Brooklyn Dodgers a thrilling 3-2
victory in the fourth game of the
World Series.
In probably the most dramatic
finish in the 44-year history of
the classic, Lavagetto, hitting for
Eddie Stanky, swung at Bevens
first pitch and missed. On the
second he took a full cut and
whaled the ball almost on a line
to right as the crowd of 33,443
sent up a full-throated bellow.
Tommy Henrich, Yank right-
fielder, made a desperate leap
into the air, but the pellet thudded
against the boards several feet
from his glove.
Fateful Pitch
For eight and two-thirds in-
nings Bevens, a 29-year-old right-
hander from Salem, Ore., had
throttled the Dodgers. Until he
made his last fateful pitch he
faced the prospect of being the
first pitcher ever to hurl a no-
hitter in a series game.
As it was, he tied two other
flingers, Claude Passeau and Ed
Reulbach, both of the Chicago
Cubs, in heaving a one-hitter.
Free Passes
What made the defeat even
more bitter for Bevens was the
fact that he put both the tying
and winning runs on base with

Mrs. Roosevelt
Makes Initial
Reply to Soviet
LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 3-RA)-
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt told
the United Nations, and particu-
larly Soviet Russia, tonight that
"We cling to the right of criticism
and disagreement" in the United
States.
That was her initial answer-
and the first official U. S. reply
in the UN-to the two broad-
sides fired by Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky, Soviet chief delegate and dep-
uty foreign ministers, at what he
called "war mongers in the United
States."
V ishinsky Absent
Neither Vishinsky nor Secretary
of State Marshall was present
when Mrs. Roosevelt spoke.
"Sometimes the government and
certain people disagree but we
cling to the right of criticism and
disagreement," Mrs. Roosevelt told
the 57-nation General Assembly's
Social, Humanitarian and Cul-
tural Committee.
Price for Freedom
"It is the price one pays for
freedom and for democracy that
the government often has to wait
for the enlightenment of the peo-
ple. Totalitarianism may move
faster, for good or ill, but we be-
lieve democracy and free people
stand on a firmer foundation."
The U. S. reply to the Rus-
sians capped a UN day which saw
these other developments:
Yugoslavia Accused
Belgian Premier Paul-Henri
Spaak accused Yugoslavia of
"mocking" the Security Council by
refusing to cooperate with its now-
defunct investigating commission
in the Balkans.
Czechoslovakia urged the five
big powers to declare as soon as
possible whether they were will-
ing to enforce any UN decisions on
the future of Palestine.
Australia demanded in the Se-
curity Council that it direct an
international commission in In-

"The success of the stunts will
depend upon the cooperation of all
the students in these sections,"
said Don Greenfield, public rela-
tions director of the Wolverine

one follow directions carefully and
not leave their seats until the
stunts are finished."
Holders are instructed to watch
the cheerleaders who will give the
"ready" signal. Cards, however,
should be kept out of sight until
the leaders give the "go" signal.
Then the card should be held par-

with the proper color turned up.
"If everyone worls together,
fans will see a huge blue "M" on a
yellow field," Greenfield said.
"The Wolverine Club plans to in-

Indians Seek
Vengeance on
Former Foe
Michigan Ready
For Opponent
By DICK KRAUS
Stanford, once a national foot.
ball power, will attempt to vault
back into the gridiron limelight at
2:30 this afternoon, when the Palo
Alto Indians take the field at the
University Stadium against Mich-
igan's favored eleven in the first
meeting between the two schools
since the inaugural Rose Bowl
game way back in 1902.
The Indians, boasting 210
pound line and a fast backfield
spearheaded by Ainslie Bell, 200-
pound passing quarterback, and
Jim Nafsiger, power-packing full-
back, are still smarting under an
unexpected 19-16 setback at the
hands of Idaho in the season's
opener last Saturday.
Squad Prepared
Partly because of this, Michigan
coach Fritz Crisler has left noth-
ing undone to prepare his squad
for a stiff test. It has always been
his contention that a team smart-
ing under an upset loss is the most
dangerous foe.'
The Indians, under ex-Notre
Dame star Marchy Schwartz op-
erate out of a T-formation. In
the Idaho opener Stanfard re-
vealed a deceptive passing attack
which netted 18 completions out
of 25 attempts.
Indians Let Up
After opening with a two touch-
down margin, the Indians let up
and were unable to get their of-
fense rolling again.
Schwartz' starting line-up is a
veteran aggregation. Gene Martin
and Ed Burke will be at ends,
Whit Budge and Pinky Phleger,
tackles, John Clark and Marty
1eldman in the starting backfield,
with Nafsiger in reserve.
Limited Service Only
Two of the Indian's hardest
running backs will probably be
available for limited service only.
Bob Anderson, an Olympic swim-
muing candidate dated as one of
the finest freshman backs on the
Coast last season, and Bob Quist,
212 pound right halfb ck, tre on
he injured list.
Erickson and Titus, i replace
"he injured regulars, are verans
of last season's team Brekson, a
shifty scat back caried the ball
3 times last season for a total of
10 yards, averaging 8.6 per try.
Titus, a freshman last year, who
is the workhorse type of back, car-
ried the mail 39 times for the 1947'
Indians, rolling up 127 yards.
Starting Outfit
Michigan's starting outfit will
depend on whether the Wolverines
kick or receive. The light mobile
ofensive unit will be up against
the first of the heavy lines it will
meet this year.

end, who was out of the Michigan
State opener with a shoulder in-
jury, is ready for action with the
