LVIH, No. 11 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1947 PRICE FIVE CENTS Stanford Invades Campus for Grid Battle G 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 of the country's distilled spirits industry, stand ready to join im - mediately in discontinuing all use of grain of any kind in the man- ufacture of distilled spirts when- ever the industry is requested by -Daily L'manian VETERANS READJUSTMENT CENTER-Turned over to the University Hospital for operation yes- terday, this newly-completed half-million dollar structure will provide accommodations and treat- ment for veterans suffering from early mental illness. 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. Petitions Total 1,200 Names More than 1,200 signatures have been obtained on petitions circu- laforA in mXXtanw r, flni+' 4-t 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 See CASEY, Page 3 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- STUDENT STUNTS : v Yellow and blue flashcards, wielded nimbly by over 2,000 stu- dents, will today inaugurate the first extensive program of mass color formations in the history of the Michigan Stadium. The cards, which are provided, and distributed by the Wolverine Club, are about 14 by 22 inches in size. They will be placed in sec- tions 33, 34, and 35 at the north end of the stadium.bDirections and key numbers will be found on a Michigan Band Picks 'Golden State' Theme Schedule Welcome For Stanford at Half The University marching band will add its contribution to the rousing welcome planned for the Stanford Indians today with a between-halves program entitled "Impressions of the Golden State -California." Several songs and accompany- ing formations will be presented elaborating this theme, including a featured cornet solo, "Trees," by Graham Young, who has ap- Featured Song We are the Bum army Fightin' for a full canteen, We are the very best Soldiers of the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, ten, nine!

John Carroll, announcer of the band, will do a special impersona- tion of Ronald Colman. In addition, the band will pre- sent "Bum Army" as the featured Michigan song and also a special salute to the visiting regents and trustees who are attending a con- ference here. More Michigan lore will be recalled, and a new yell will be introduced. "The Yellow and the Blue," played in the traditional block "M" formation, will conclude the program.I ALL, ALL ALONE: You Can Shout small card attached to the yellow side of each large card. "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 Club. "The club asks that every- 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- allel to the slope of the stadium 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- troduce more elaborate stunts at future games." Fisher Heads Advance Drive Prof. Charles A. Fisher, direc- tor of the University Extension Service, has been appointed to head the advanced gift solicitation committee for the University in its 1948 Community Fund Drive, to be held from Oct. 2 to Nov. 1. Advanced gift donations made up more than half of the $21,000 quota earned last year, according to Prof. Karl F. Lagler, chairman of the present campaign.

Britons Warned By Labor Minister LONDON, Oct. 3-(AP)-Labor Minister George Isaacs warned to- day that workers who become "sticky and nasty" when directed to a job under Britain's new man- power regulations would be told "you will have this one, whether you like it or not." The Control of Engagement or- der, by which the government hopes to man fully the country's main export industries as well as vital domestic undertakings, comes into force Monday. t All You Want Yellow and Blue Cards Ready To Flash Formnations at Fans YESTERDAY'S HERO and TODAY'S'QUESTION MARK-Harry "Cookie" Lavagetto, veteran Brooklyn Dodger infielder whose clutch double in the ninth inning evened up the 1947 World Series; Lennie Ford, Michigan's flashy end, who may be expected to provide some heroics of his own in today's Stanford-Michigan battle. 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. Slim Bobby Mann, 168-pound end, who was out of the Michigan State opener with a shoulder in- jury, is ready for action with the See MICHIGAN, Page 3 Cloudy Skies May Dampen 65,000 Fans A shirt-sleeved throng of 65,000 will be viewing this afternoon's football contest between the Stan- ford Redskins and the Michigan Wolverines. However, grid fans will be keep- ing one eye on cloudy skies, since the weatherman has predicted possible showers along with balmy Indian Summer temperatures, and a light rain-coat might come in handy.
