VOL. LVIII, No. 130
Senate Votes
300 Millions
School Aid
Proposes Grants
To Poorer States
WASHINGTON, April 1-(P)-
The Senate passed and sent tc
the House tonight legislation tc
authorize $300,000,000 of Federa
aid to the nation's grade and higi
schools each year.
The bill is aimed at more nearly
equalizing the amounts spent fo:
education throughout the country
It would authorize grants in th4
poorer states up to about $28 P
year for each child of school age
No state would receive less thar
$5 a year for each child from 5 t
17.
Michigan Senators
Passage was on a 58 to 22 vote
(Senators Vanderberg and Fergu-
son voted in favor of the bill.)
It came after one of the Sen-
ate's leading advocates of federal
economy, Senator Byrd (Dem.,
Va.), had, protested in vain.
"Never in our history," Byrd
shouted, "has there been a more
unpropitious time for the federal
government to enter into a long
range proposition such as is pro-
posed in the pending legislation."
The bill does not actually carry
any funds. They must be voted in
subsequent appropriations bills.
Byrd recalled that in 1943 Sena-
tor Taft (Rep., Ohio), a backer of
today's bill, opposed a similar sys-
tem of grants.
'States in Better Position'
Taft said then that states were
in a much better position to fi-
nance education than the federal
treasury. He also protested about
federal controls over local and
state schools through the grants.
"I was wrong in that state-
ment," Taft said, adding that
when he examined detailed figures
on state spending for schooling
they "changed my mind."
Taft insisted that the pending
bill carefully guards against fed-
eral control over education in the
states and communities.
Before the final vote, the Sen-
ate rejected an amendment by
Senator McMahon (Dem., Conn.)
to authorize $5,000,000 a year to
help church and private schools
meet the costs of pupil transpor-
tation, health services and non-
religious textbooks. The vote was
66 to 14.

CONCRETE POLICY:
Regents Define Authority
Of 'U' Radio Committee
The Board of Regents clearly defined yesterday the authority
of the newly set-up University Executive Committee on Radio to
exercise control over all University broadcasting.
President Alexander G. Ruthven announced the Regents' de-
cision to give the committee control over all programs originating
in University buildings or on University grounds. The broadcasting
policy group will also control all programs identified as being under
University auspices which are presented over any station by staff or
students of the University.
This means that programs presented by any University depart-
ments or organizations over either local stations or the University FM
station, if they are identified as2-

University programs, will have to
be cleared through the commit-
tee.
No "Outside" Control
The committee, however, would
not control programs in which
students or faculty take part on
their own, without intending to
represent the University.
The group does not seek to be
a "board of censorship," accord-
ing to Arthur L. Brandon, chair-
man of the radio committee.
"Clearing" of programs means
only that information in them
will be checked for conformance to
University policy which calls for
programs in the public, interest,
he said.
intra-Dorm Stations
Intra-dorm stations and wired-
radio will also fall under the com-
mittee's jurisdiction. Their olier-
%tors are already working in co-
operation with the committee and
the University Broadcasting Serv-
ice.

Prof. Waldo Abbot, director of
the Broadcasting Service, called
the Regents' decision a "step for-
ward." He said a centralized
broadcasting authority and a def-
inite policy are a real necessity
inasmuch as a University station
will soon be in operation.
President Ruthven, in his an-
nouncement, also disclosed objec-
tives which the radio committee
has set for the Broadcasting Serv-
ice. The committee's proposals in-
clude educational programs in the
public interest, "entertainment
consistent with the policies and
practices of an institution of
higher learning," and facilities
and programs for wired-radio
service to residence halls and
other University buildings.
The radio executive committee,
set up in February under the jur-
isdiction of Vice-President Mar-
vin L. Niehuss, includes Brandon,
Abbot, Prof. Charles L. Jamison,
Prof. Karl Litzenberg and Dean
Earl V. Moore of the music school.

UN Calls for
New Session
On Palestine
Partition Policy
To Be Reviewed
LAKE SUCCESS, April 1-(P)
-The United Nations Security
Council called tonight a special
session of the 57-member UN As-
sembly to reconsider the Palestine
problem.
The vote for the special meet-
ing was 9 to 0. Russia and the
Soviet Ukraine abstained.
The Assembly will convene April
16 in New York City.
Calls Also for Truce
The council, by one of its rare
unanimous decisions, called also
for a Jewish-Arab truce in Pales-
tine.
Warren R. Austin, chief United
States delegate who sponsored
both moves in the council on or-
ders from the White House, de-
clared the truce was needed to
stop the "blood feud" raging
there.
The UN Secretariat immediate-
ly swung into high-speed action
to prepare the ground work for
the second special assembly in
UN history.
Truman Decision
The United States proposed the
special session to consider a tem-
porary trusteeship after President
Truman and his Cabinet decided
partition could not be carried out
peacefully at this time.
The American change of pace
on Palestine created a sensation
here when it was announced un-
expectedly on March 19.
Mr. Truman later told his news
conference last Thursday that
trusteeship was proposed as iA
means of filling the vacuum
which will be created by Britain's
announced decision to terminate
her Palestine mandate on May 15.

Americans must learn to dis-
tinguish between Communism

themselves to losing the struggle
igainst 06mmunism, Prof. Philip
3. Florence of Birmingham Uni-
versity, England, declared in a
lecture yesterday.
Prof. Florenceremphasized that
~he Labor government does not
grush the basic individual liberties
and permits criticism.
There has been a definite swing
throughout the rest of Europe as
well toward social-democratiu
parties, he said. If Americans
ump the social democrats with
,he Communists, the social-demo-
,rats will turn away from us to
,he support of Communists, he
added..
%esult, Not Cause
Prof. Florence dismissed the
,harges made in some quarters
hat social planning is responsible
for the present economis crisis in
'ngland. He said that planning is
he result and not the cause of the
,risis.
Prof. Florence cited these four
:easons for the crisis:
1. The devastation of war asso-
iated with the bombings, and the
yoncentration of industry in war
cork which made reconversion
lifficult,
2. The drain on the economy

workers whom it has been nec-
essary to keep in' the armed
forces.
More Imports than Exports
3. An increase of imports over
exports because of the price rise
in agricultural goods which Eng-
land must import, aggravating,
thereby, the shortage of dollars
needed to buy American capital
goods for industrial growth; and
4. The psychology of the Brit-
ish worker whose conservatism
makes him reluctant to forego his
demands for higher pay and
shorter hours.
Among its accomplishments, the
Labor government lists the aboli-
tion of extreme poverty through
full employment and family al-
lowances, an approach toward
equality of income distribution
and the achievement of social se-
curity, Prof. Florence remarked.

tee's action 'by Chairman Van-
denberg (Rep., Mich.) capped a
day long session of the ten con-
ferees. They worked at unprece-
dented speed to approve aid for
Europe and China, both threat-
ened by Communist expansion.
Provisions
The compromise, which is ex-
pected to be quickly approved by
both Houses tomorrow, provides
for:
$5,300,000,000 for the first 12
months of the four and one-
fourth year European Recovery
Program.
$275,000,000 for military aid for
Greece and Turkey.

as follows: $338,000,000 for eco-
nomic aid under the general ap-
plicable provisions of the Euro-
pean Recovery Program, and
$125,000,000 for additional aid
through grants, on such terms as
the U. S. President may deter-
mine, to be used as the Chinese
government sees fit.
$60,000,000 for the International
Children's Emergency Fund of the
United Nations.
RFC Loan

structiobipFinance Corporation to
make $1,000,000,000 available im-
mediately through a loan to start
the European Recovery Program
on its way.

thorized to initiate the Greek,
Turkish, and Chinese programs.

proved a $6,205,000,000 "package"
foreign aid bill. The reduction was
made in aid to China. The House
had authorized $570,000,000 for a
15 month period commencing
April 1 as compared to the Senate
figure of $463,000,000 for a 12
month period.
Possessors of
Dope Convicted
A jury of eight women and four
men found Henry Simpson, '47,
and his wife, Vera, 30, guilty of
illegally possessing marijuana, in
the Washtenaw County Circuit
Court, yesterday.
The Simpsons, who gave their
address as 712 N. Fourth St., Ann
Arbor, will be sentenced by Judge
James R. Breakey, Jr., April 5.
The jury asked leniency for Mrs.
Simpson.
The couple was arrested Feb-
ruary 13. Ann Arbor police later
discovered a pound bag of green-
ish-colored bits in their home,
which Prof. Volney H. Jones, of
the anthropology department,
compared with University speci-
mens of marijuana and green tea.
He verified police suspicions that
the bag contained dope.
Both were remanded to the
County jail in the custody of

Sheriff's officers.

Drive Still on
Although the 1948 Red Cross

drive.
To date, collections from the
student body total $692, 20 per
cent of their $3,500 quota.
Faculty contributions to date
total $4,011, 76 per cent of their
$5,250 quota, with approximately
30 of the original 92 groups yet to

"Fritz ain't talkin'."
That's the latest word from the
Athletic Office where the current
Crisler crisis is weaving its way
through its usual series of rumors,
However, this year's rumors are
a little more vague than last sea-
son's crop-when all agreed defi-
nitely that Crisler was going to
California. Now they offer a
choice-Detroit or Chicago.
Some quarters maintain that
the Wolverineathleticdirector
will accept a position with the
Murray Corp. of the Motor City.
Others declare he's going with
Coca-Cola in Chicago.
Actually, no one knows, Les
Etter, Athletic publicity director,
said yesterday that Crisler hasn't
revealed any plans to anyone.
Prof. Ralph Aigler, Athletic Board
member who appointed Crisler ten
years ago, adds that the former
coach has not said anything to
him about leaving.
