He said he was leaving the Soviet Jnion in two or three days. His statement followed publi-, cation of a long letter in the gov- ernment newspaper Izvestia -- which Izvestia said was 'from Magidoff's American-born secre- tary-accusing him of spying for the United States. Sretary Quoted Magidoff said the Press Depart- ment had told him, in view of this letter his further residence in the U.S.S.R. was undesirable. Izvestia quoted the secretary, Cecilia Nelson, a former employe of the U. S. Embassy, as saying that Magidoff had dispatched re- ports in U. S. diplomatic pauches, not subject to censorship. (In Washington, the State 'De- partment said U. S. Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith had cabled from Moscow a flat denial that Magidoff served as a spy for the embassy. Smith said also that Magidoff had told him Miss Nel- son's allegations were false. Magidoff has served the Na- tional Broadcasting Co., the Ex- change Telegraph (British) and the McGraw-Hill Publishing Co., of New York. He once was on the Associated Press staff here. Manuel Roxas Succumbs to Heart Attack. MANILA, Friday, April 16--(W) -President Manuel Roxas died of a heart attack last night at Clark Field, D.S. air base 50 miles north- west of Manila. Roxas was stricken at 2:30 p.m. and died at 10:10 p.m. His death was announced early today from Malacanan Palace, the presiden- tial residence in Manila, The body is being returned to Manila aboard a special funeral train. Epidio Quirino, 57-year-old Vice President and Foreign Secretary, will become President. While Roxas' sudden death was unexpected, he had suffered from a heart ailment for years. Roxas had been in politics most of his adult life. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines, he was a major in the Philippines Reserve and he rose to Brigadier General by the time of the Bataan surrender. After fighting as a guerrilla for a time, he surrendered and then accepted a post in the Japanese \puppet government. The charge of collaboration in- evitably arose to plague him when he ran for President in 1946. General MacArthur issued a statement declaring that Roxas had been purposely left behind and had provided the allied forces with "vital intelligence of the en- emy" while masquerading as a collaborator. A loyalty board ex- onerated him. Sheriff Orders. Dog Roundup The county sheriff's depart- ment moved to clamp down on stray dogs yesterday as another small girl was bitten. Alice Miller, 14, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Miller, 5550 Pon- tiac Rd., received leg lascerations from a dog owned by George De Wolfe, 5834 Earhart Road, and was given Pasteur treatments. A general roundup of all stray dogs in the city, starting in East Ann Arbor, where four-year-old Carol Mannor was bitten to death, will be made, Capt. Erwin Klager, of the Sheriff's Department, an- nounced yesterday. The Washtenaw Humane So- ciety will make available trucks for picking up dogs. Police and Sheriff Office switch- Bogota Violence Called 'Red Horror' in Report WASHINGTON, April 15-(P)-The bloody revolution thatI wrecked the capital of Colombia was pictured to Congress and the American people today as a Communist-inspired horror of a kind that can happen here. The head of the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency said Jorge Gaitan, liberal leader whose assassination touched off the Bogota violence, was a figure like "Henry Wallace in our country"-a man who played along "with the extreme left and communists." Tip Off The intelligence head, Rear Admiral R. H. Hillenkoetter, told a special House subcommittee that the State Department had been given advance warning of trouble-including a tip that Secretary of State Marshall and other U. S. officials might be molested. But President Truman told a Court Delays Lewis Verdict Until Monda y WASHINGTON, April 15-) -The John L. Lewis trial ended today except for the final judg- ment. Judge T. Alan Goldsbor- ough kept Lewis and the country in suspense by putting off his decision until Monday morning. He will announce then wheth- er Lewis and the United Mine Workers are guilty of contempt of court. Similar to 1946 At a similar trial in 1946 the same federal judge rocked the same defendants with a "guilty" judgment and heavy fines. Lewis sat massively silent again today. He didn't so much as shake his bushy gray hair whileAssistantbAttorney Gen- eral Graham Morison, summing up the government's case, thrust at him with accusations. Morison, a short, dark-haired man 27 years younger than Lewis, said the issue is simple- the defendants on April 5 were handed a court order to end the soft coal strike and they let ex- actly one week pass before doing anything about it. Accuses Lewis Morison said John L. Lewis should be held responsible for his acts "as well as any other man." He told the attentive judge: That Lewis caused the miners to quit work March 15 That he "well knew" he was causing it. Church Group Meets today Episcopal student delegates from three states will participate in the Mid-West Provincial Epis- copal College Conference to be held today through Sunday at the Episcopal Student Center. Considering the topic, "Chris- tian Witness on the Campus," the 60 delegates will hear the Rt. Rev. Richard S. M. Emrich, Episcopal Bishop of Michigan, open the con- ference with a talk on "Evangel- ism and the Modern Campus" following dinner which begins at 7 p.m. today. The first conference session will be held at 8:30 p.m. today with Rev. Robert McGregor, Episcopal chaplain at Oberlin College, speaking on, "Christianity and Secular Learning." Three conference sessions will be held tomorrow and one Sun- day at which speakers will discuss other aspects of the topic. The delegates will separate into dis- cussion groups after each major session. Climax of the conference will be a Communion Service at 8 a.m. Sunday at the church. Schola Cantorum, the student choir, will sing at this service. Rev. John Burt, Episcopal chaplain at the University, will be the third conference session speaker. The lecturesand discus- sions will be open to students, as will be dinners by reservation. Advice Session Is Successful The first mid-semester session of the Course Content Advisory program held . yesterday, was called "quite successful" by Blair Moody, Legislature member in charge of the program. More than 50 freshmen and news conference he didn't know the revolt was coming. He said he was as surprised as anyone else. Hillenkoetter read the as- tounded congressmen a March. 10 report from a U. S. agent say- ing Gaitan supporters were bringing arms into Colombia for a revolution. Colombian Communist An earlier dispatch said a Co- lombian Communist, identified only as "Mr. G.," was "reported to be the intermediary betweenj the Soviet legation and Gaitan, to whom he furnished money." Grimly, Hillenkoetter said con- ditions in Colombia are "similar to those in the United States, ex- cept that they are advanced a couple of years." A congressman just back from the blood-spattered South Amer- ican capital, Rep. Donald Jack- son (Rep., Calif.), put it in blunter terms in an eyewitness report to the House: "The Red tide last weekend touched the shores of the West- ern Hemisphere. . . . Italian Reds Fight Fascists Over Election Violence Marks Campaign Close ROME. April 15-(,/P-Commu- nists and Fascists battled in Ti- burtino Square tonight with chunks of concrete as Italy's tur- bulent election campaign neared its close. Heavy forces' of riot police fought to stop the battle, when about 2,500 leftists descended with armloads of heavy missiles on the dingy square where a rally of the Nationalistic Italian Social Move- ment (MSI) was in progress. Soon the MSI followers were put to flight, and Communists took complete possession of the square, singing theirnsongs, while police looked on. An airplane overhead dropped Communist leaflets. - At least six persons were in- jured. It was the second such clash in as many nights involving the MSI which sings Fascist march- ing hymns and boasts nearly all the paraphernalia of Mussolini's legions except the black shirt. A score were injured last night when MSI youth marched osten- tatiously through Rome's ancient Jewish ghetto. The two clashes and the sched- uling of 12 more big MSI rallies throughout the city tomorrow raised a suspicion among many middle-of-the-road Italians that while they have been busy trying to kick Communism out the door Fascism has climbed back up to the window. FLOODED - Flood waters from the Salt River and Brashears Creek poured through the town of Taylorville, , Ky., near Louisville, rendering many residents homeless and halting business activ- ities.

BALDNESS THREA TENS:; Wig-Wearing Women on the Increase, Beauticians Assert Flood Passes Peak in Ohio Headwaters CINCINNATI, April 15-(P)-, The Ohio River's floodwc4ters began falling today in the first 50 of its 981 miles. The worst was over in that area and the threat of greater damage downstream was thereby les- sened. The river reached a crest short of 30 feet deep, not quite five feet over flood stage, early today at Pittsburgh's golden tri- angle, then started to drop slowly. The Ohio starts there, where the Allegheny and Mo- nongahela Rivers meet. A few hours later the rise stopped at East Liverpool, O., 42 miles downstream and across the river from the tip of the West Virginia Panhandle. From below there .to the mouth at Cairo, Ill., the Ohio was rising. But the rate of rise was slow and becoming slower. River people hoped that dry weather would continue for a few more days to let the big stream dump its load into the still bigger Mis- sissippi. The Ohio still was five to ten feet out of its banks everywhere except in the Evansville, Ind., section. There it was close to bankfull. Nowhere was there se- rious property damage. Three deaths were indirectly blamed on the flood. Weather men found "nothing but a suggestion of light show- ers Friday night or Saturday" to put more water in the river. Riv- ermen feared nothing but cloud- bursts or prolonged heavy rains. MSC Detects Exam Sales LANSING, April 15-()-A black market in examination pa- pers at Michigan State College was uncovered today by Prosecu- tor Charles R. MacLean. Robert Hanel, 21, a former stu- dent at the college, was arraigned on charges of simple larceny in Lansing Municipal Court today, accused of taking some examina- tion papers from a local printing firm. He was fined $50 and placed on six months probation. MacLean said Hanel told him he obtained the examination pa- pers, which covered a full year's work in history and biology, while he was employed by the firm, which does printing work for the college. According to the prosecutor, Hanel admitted selling two of the examinations for $20 each. Assembly Ball Tickets Ticket sales for Assembly Ball will be from 8 to 12 noon, 1-3 p.m. today and 8-12 noon tomorrow in both the League and the ticket booth in Uni- versity Hall.

By LEON JAROFF New guided missile develop- ments which make the devices used by both sides in the last war "obsolete" were hinted at by Lt. Col. Vincent A. Stace at a meeting of the Michigan post of the Amer- ican Ordnance Association yester- day in the Union. Col. Stace, an Army expert on guided missiles during the war, could not reveal any of the more recent development for security recent developments for security films of the "obsolete" guided mis- Young Dems Ask Poll on Speech Ban The Young Democrats called on the Student Legislature last night to place the question of the po- litical speeches ban on the ballot in the April 27 campus-wide elec- tion. Their move followed a decision to actively campaign for a recon- sideration of the Regents stand which bars partisan politics in open meetings on the campus. The question which the Demo- crats seek to pose to the student body is: "Do you support the right of political organizations to bring speakers to discuss politics at open meetings?" Meanwhile, the group acted in its own right to condemn the Re- gents move as one that "does not permit the proper prparation of students for citizenship in a dem- ocratic community." An open letter to the Board of Regents said that the point of view expressed by the Board "limits the opportunity of all stu- dents to hear varying political opinions, and is beneath the dig- nity of a great university."

Official U. S. Army films showed such "Buck Rogers" de- velopments as radio - controlled television, and heat-seeking bombs, many of which were per- fected too late to be used effect- ively in the last war. The heat- seeking bomb, which is led to its target by the heat that the tar- get radiates, was scheduled to be used in an invasion of Japan, but the atomic bomb put an end to the plans. Recent reports of strange mis- siles seengever Sweden were com- pared by Col. Stace to similar re- ports in 1942 which heralded the AGE OF BUCK ROGERS Terrors of Push-Button War A rnplified in W eapons Report appearance of the Nazi V-2. reports indicate that some nation is experimenting guided missiles, he said. These other with House Passes Bill To Boost Air Strength Measure Ignores TruanProtest WASHINGTON, April 15-()- Advocates of a vast airmada scored a thumping victory over President Truman today when the House passed a $3.198.000,000 bill to start building up a 70-group air force. The vote was 343 to 3. Secretary of Defense Forrestal, backed by the President, has been supporting a 55-group force, tak- ing the position that the bigger expansion would destroy the bal- ance of the armed services. The action threw into sharp relief a wide open split within the administration. Secretary of Air Symington, who has been plugging for a 70-group air force, drew an implied rebuke today from Mr. Truman. The President said he doesn't know why Symington is differing with the administration plan. Asked whether he will "spank" Symington, the President said he will have to answer that later. Symington had no direct com- ment, but his office said he "has no plans to resign." Those who advocate a big, long- range air force as a deterrent to Russia were in command in the House today. Rep. Case (Rep., S.D.) called the bill a warning to Stalin to "stop, look and listen." By an unusual unanimous vote -115 to 0-the House added $822,000,000 to a $2,376,100,000 bill designed originally to finance a 55-group air force. Then it passed the entire meas- ure, and sent it to the Senate. The program would be a five-year plan. Additional billions would have to be voted later to complete it. Golf Course Is Latest Addition To JU'Campus University purchase of the Sta- dium Hills Golf Course marks the acquisition of the last sizeable piece of land adjacent to the cam- pus. In an interview with The Daily yesterday, Vice-President Robert P. Briggs, stressed the significance of the purchase. Some indication of the future importance of the tract can be gained, he said, by comparing its acreage with that of the present campus. The campus area that is bound- ed by State Street and North, East and South University Streets comprises 40 acres, whereas the recently acquired tract amounts to 155 acres. Purchase of the nine-hole golf course, which is located at West Stadium and South Main streets, followed several years of negotia-' tions with the Golf Hills Corpor- ation. Possible Housing Site Although concrete plans for the disposition of the newly acquired property have yet to be drawn, it is reasonably certain that the land will eventually be used In part for the construction of a faculty housing project. Present plans are to make this a self-liquidating project, possibly similar to the set-up used for the University's residence halls. "In any event, all building construct- ed will be erected on a permanent basis," Briggs said. Purchase price of the property was not disclosed and construc- tion dates have not yet been set. Meanwhile, the tract has been leased and will be used as a golf course this- season. Will You Be Luck 253? You too can be one of the four judges of the Michigras Parade! All you have to do is be the 253rd person to cross the Michi- gan seal on the Diagonal after 2:30 p.m. today. That's right-lucky 253 will be a judge of the parade along with Chester Roberts, and two other prominent people whose names will be announced shortly. The Davis twins will count peo- ple as they cross the seal, and a By MARY STEIN Anti-bonnet coeds had better start hanging onto their hats- they may need them one of these days to cover up beaming bald spots. That business may be looking up for the milliners was forecast yesterday by local beauty parlor operators, one of whom went so far as to say that 50 out of 100 women have scalps nearing the billiard ball stage. Local Beauticians Mrs. Helene Shewman, local beautician, said that half of the supposedly well-tressed sex have a pretty wispy excuse for hair. "Twenty years ago, she said, "We used to have to thin out custom- ers' hair. But times have cer- tainly changed." Other beauty shop proprie- tresses were more cautious, esti- mating their thin-thatched clients at about five per cent. If a coed's fated by a vengeful heredity to baldness, she can anticipate a hair-line expectancy of about 40, they said. Prof. A. Franklin Shull of the zoology department, consulted on the scientific facts behind back- tracking tresses, held out more hope for coeds and less for Ann Arbor hat-makers. According to Prof. Shull's figures, only about two and a half per cent of women are bald because of heredity. Arriving at his figures by pure- ly mathematical observations, Prof. Shull said he at first found it hard to believe that even two and a half per cent of women could be bald. Lifting Wigs "All the women I was acquaint- ed with didn't seem to be," he said, "but I hadn't been lifting wigs to see what was under- neath." Both Prof. Shull and the beauty shop proprietors agreed that a woman who gets as bald as a man is pretty rare. G.O.P. Choice Called Unsure "The strong showing of Harold Stassen in the recent Nebraska and Wisconsin primaries increases the likelihood of a convention deadlock between Stassen, Taft and Dewey and the possibility of a compromise candidate being nominated by the Republicans," Prof. Joseph E. Kallenbach, of the political science department, said yesterday. "The choice of a compromise candidate could very likely fall on Sen. Vandenberg or Speaker Martin," Prof. Kallenbach con- tinued. "The voting for Stassen has been indicative of strong support for him in rural and small town areas." AA UP Plans Teacher Study The Democratization committee of the campus chapter of the American Association of Univer- sity Professors has been directed to prepare a resolution calling for an intensive study of the status of the graduate teaching fellow at Michigan. The move was taken last night at the regular monthly meeting of the AAUP in the Union. Talks by thee professors pointed to the need for the probe. The study would investigate the role of the graduate as both a stu- dent and as a teacher, emphasiz- ing the demand upon his time of instructing responsibilities. It would also delve into the eco- nomic problems facing the teach- ing fellow in view of the high cost of living and the acute hous- ing shortage. Either the AAUP or some other designated faculty group will be asked to conduct the investiga- tion. Prof. John Arthos of the Eng- lish department read a prepared statement by a colleague, Prof. Norman E. Nelson, outlining the issues the study might touch on.
