LVII, No. 148 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, MAY 2, 1948 PRICE FIVE CENTS Regular Arab Armies Roll Into Palestine Armored Forces Hit Settlements JERUSALEM, May 1-(P)-The regular armies of Arab nations of the Middle East invaded Palestine today striking in the north anc south with troops and armorec orces, Jewish and Arab sources said. These accounts said Syria, Leb- anon and Egypt sent powerful military formations s we e pin across the border at dawn Satur- day 15 days before the termina- tion of the British mandate over the Holy Land. Saudi Arabia, Trans-Jordan and Iraq were reported ordering troops to the battle zone or com- pleting final preparations for the drive against the Jews. Tel Aviv headquarters of Hag- ana, the Jewish militia, said tanks and armored cars of the Syrian and Lebanese armies crossed the border and engaged Jewish out- posts at the settlements of Dafne, Ramot Naftali and Dan in Pales- tine's northern extremity. Jews in Haifa gave a similar account of the operations taking place irn upper Galilee. A Damascus dispatch said the Syrian army apparently threm half its entire strength into the invasion. The big Syrian camp at Katana was almost completely emptied by a lightning military movement. A few days ago 6,000 regulars and a few hundred vol- unteers were based there. Sources in Cairo who wished k to be described as unofficial said the Egyptian army struck across the southern Palestine border into the desert at Friday midnight. ' While the invasion reports were without official confirmation, the feeling was evident in Cairo and other cities that something was in the air. Arab dispatches to Damascus said King Abdullah of Trans- Jordan had ordered the simul- taneous invasion of the Holy Land by the armies of the six Arab countries. ReIients Make Appointments 'U' Receives Gifts Totaling $61,440 Two faculty appointments were approved yesterday at the meeting of the Board of Regents.

The nation's 52 million taxpayers and 1,500,000 student vets prepared to let a notch out of their collective belts as income tax withholding payment cuts became effective yesterday and April sub- sistence checks began to flood the mails. What Happened (The income tax cut drops more than seven million people from the tax rolls. The raised subsistence payments provide an additional New Opinion bureau Polls 500 Students Plan To Represent Campus-Wide Views Five hundred people can't be wrong-not when they're scien- ifically quizzed by the Bureau of Student Opinion. The newly-set up Bureau has nicked a chosen half-thousand students from the University's 19,- 500-odd population. Their answers to 30 questions, ranging from "How do you like the system for distributing football tickets?" to "Do you approve of the tennis fee set-up?" will be representative of what the whole University is thinking. Answer for Others Each student polled will be an- swering for 35 others. The student statisticians who are in charge of the Bureau emphasize that every one of the 500 must contribute his opinions for the poll to be success- ful. The Bureau was created as an adjunct of the Survey research Center when the Student Legisla- ture, the Union and The Daily wanted to find out student opin- ion on various questions, in order to help them form their policies. Selected at Random The 500 selected at random from University files have already received postcards, asking them to appear at Rm. 5 Tappan Hall for 10-minute interviews. Those who haven't yet spoken for their 35 "silent partners" can still do so this week from 1:30 to 5:30 p. m. and from 6:30 to 8:3 p. m. daily. Results of the polls will be pub- lished in a series of articles in The Daily, beginning May 23. Alpha Phi Omega service fra- ternity, other organizations and student volunteers are helping in the quiz sessions, with the Survey Research students forming the or- ganization's nucleus. Garden Plot Hits theSpot Willow Village garden plots are finally ready for those residents whose green thumbs have been itching to get things planted. Though bad weather has de- layed plowing, gardens in the Madin- area and some in the MacArthur area are now com- pleted. These will be assigned Monday and Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the service desk of the rental office. There is a season fee ranging from fifty cents to one dollar for °ach garden, depending on size. With good weather prevailing, more plots will be ready for as- signment the following week, of- ficials said. ten dollars to single veterans, fif- teen dollars to married veterans and thirty to those with more than one dependent.) The income tax cut will affect an estimated 14,000 Ann Arbor taxpayers and approximately 11,- 000 student veterans at the Uni- versity will get more than $141,000 each month from the increase. Dreaming in Beer? Tavern keepers are dreaming in their own beer if they expect any sizeable portion of the veterans' increased purchasing power to float into their tills. Most student veterans when asked in a Daily survey what they int-end to do with the additional money, said they hoped to apply it to living expenses and out down withdrawals from bank accounts. The most frequently mentioned item in this category was food. Only one of thirty-six students contacted expected to have enough of a surplus to add to his con- sumption of brew. Local Comments "It will mean ten dollars less to dig out of my savings," "Doc" Robinson commented. "I'm going to use the money to eat with." Vance Cory justified the in- crease by saying that it will not be any more inflationary than the income tax cuts Congress has passed. He said that his transpor- tation costs besides eating and incidental items like smoking add up, and that since his bonus, bonds and savings have been exhausted, he has a real need for the money. Congress May Discuss Change In UNVeto WASHINGTON, May 1-(')- Chairman Vandenberg (R-Mich.) said today the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee will consider proposals to change United Na- tions procedures before Congress adjourns. His statement inaicated that Senators who have been demand- ing that some action be taken to get around the Soviet vetoes in the UN wil get a hearing before the committee. It also pointed the way toward possible action on as-yet-unoff- ered proposals to line this country up in something akin to a military alliance with Western Europe. Vandenberg himself has said repeatedly that action should be taken to abolish the Big Power Veto on all UN efforts to settle in- ternational disputes short of war. He has not called for complete abolition of the veto where war- like measures are concerned. There is no indication he plans to do so, although Senator Taft (R-Ohio) this week urged that the UN char- ter be amended to eliminate all vetoes. When present studies have been completed Vandenberg may spon- sor a resolution aimed at giving this country's military help to the western nations outside of the Communist orbit. Latest UMT Plan To Get 18 Year _Olds Senate Draft Bill May BeChanged WASHINGTON, May 1-(P)- Only 18 year olds would be subject to the one year training under the latest version of the compromise plan for Universal Military Train- ing announced today by Senator Gurney (R-SD). At the same time Gurney said the age limits on the !two-year temporary draft plan in the Sen- ate bill would be 19 years through 25 instead of 19% through 25. "We learn there is not enough available manpower between 19 and 25 to fill expected needs of the two-year draft plan," the Senate Armed Ser- vices Committee Chairman told a reporter. "Too many of them are veterans, married or exempt as members of the National Guard or other class A reserve units." Originally Senators wanted to apply the one-year training in the regular forces to youths between 18 and 19% with two-year draft terms on men from 19% through 25. Both President Truman and Secretary of Defense Forrestal have backed the Senate compro- mise as a substitute for their original long - range sepaate UMT program. Gurney said a complete draft of the new manpower bill will be ready for committee action Tuesday morning. Under the House bill men from 18 through 30 years would be required to register with those from 19 through 25 sub- ject to draft. It excludes the one-year train- ing proposals of the Senate bill as a UMT substitute. Meanwhile Chairman Andrews (R-NY) of the House Armed Ser- vices Committee said his group will have a separate stop-gap draft bill ready late Monday. Trumnan Gains State Support Local Douglas Group Fails To Wii Backing BATTLE CREEK, May 1-(/P)- Michigan Democrats picked 67 un- instructed delegates to their na- tional convention today' after adopting a luke-warm "commen- dation" of President Truman de- spite a small knot of Washtenaw County delegates booming the "New Deal" candidacy of Asso- ciate Supreme Court Justice Wil- liam 0. Douglas. The Douglas group was said to center in the University of Mich- igan faculty. Party leaders said it was the first time the state convention has sent an uninstructed delegation in 16 years. Free to Climb The failure to instruct the dele- gation was interpreted as a means of leaving the members free to climb on the bandwagon of some other presidential candidate than Truman if one appeared at the Philadelphia convention in July. There seemed to be strong Eis- enhower sentiment among the rank-and-file delegates. Slap To Truman A resolution from committee to send an uninstructed delegation was defeated on the floor after, members said it would be "a slap in the face" for Truman, but the convention never instructed the delegation after that. Al Hargraves, Union delegate from Detroit, said the desire for an uninstructed delegation was only to "leave the delegation a little bargaining power." Meanwhile, plans of air power advocates to rush Congressional approval of the 70-group modern air force are stalled in the Senate with action unlikely before late next week. The House already has ap- proved a $3,198,000,000 money bill to begin building the 70-group air force and also expand Naval air power.

Alleged Communist Kills Ladas; Martial Law Proclaimed in Athens ATHENS, May 1-(P)-Greek Minister of Justice Christos Ladas was assassinated today in what the government said was part of a Communist May Day plot to kill three members of the Cabinet. The government established martial law in Athens. Ladas died 13 hours after a 22-year-old factory worker threv three grenades at him. Police said the assassin, who was seriously in- jured himself by one of the grenades, had admitted he was a membe: of the OPLA, Communist execution squad, and was under orders to kill Ladas.

The first army corps said more than 1,000 casualties have been in- flicted on the guerilla band of about 2,000 in the mount Ghi- ona area of south central Greece since operations started two weeks ago. The bombs also killed a police- man and wounded another civilian and a child. Police said the assailant, identi- fled as Efstratos Moutsoyanis, threw the first grenade through the rear window of Ladas' car, wounding the Minister of Justice in the head. Two policemen drew their pis- tols and fired, wounding the as- sassin. Moutsoyanis then threw a second bomb which failed to explode. The third grenade wounded himself, killed one of the policemen, and wounded a civilian and a child. Police said bystanders attempt- ed to lynch the bomb thrower but he was taken away by officers. The car was riddled by the ex- plosions and caught fire. Police immediately threw a cordon about the area to prevent further out- breaks. Surgeons operated on Ladas for three wounds in a vain attempt to save his life. A secretary to Premier Themis- tokles Sophoulis said a letter had been received recently from a "re- pentant Communist" saying the party planned to kill Sophoulis, Ladas, and Minister of Public Or- der Constantine Rentis. The letter from "the repentant Communist," which the govern- ment said proved existence of a plot to kill three members of the cabinet, said the Communists de- cided on this course because the Liberal Party joined the govern- ment and "persecuted the (Com- munist) Party." The 56-year-old Ladas had approved 125 execu- tions, mostly of Leftists, since he took office last September. Garg Swings Left and Right Radicals and reactionaries alike are the victims of a satirical broadside in the "Communism" issue of the Gargoyle which goes on campus sale tomorrow. The editors have promised that J. Parnell Thomas, Henry Wallace and Joe Stalin all come in for their share of the heckling. The heckling, incidentally, is sprinkled through the "pink" section of the magazine. Managing Editor Thom Strope thinks this issue of the Garg should make everybody happy be-. cause "who wants to be a radical or a reactionary, anyway," Rumb- lings from the proletariat, how- ever, seem to indicate that he's crazy. At any rate, the usual Garg salesmen, including two exiled Russian princes, will pass out the propaganda in the usual spots and should not be mistaken for anything else. According to Strope, this issue should be red by everyone. Tense World Celebratesqx On May Da " Communist Forces Stage Demonstrations By The Associated Press May Day celebrations in other parts of Europe, America and Asia produced noise and fury but no major explosions. Berlin, Trieste, Prague, Rome and a" dozen other of Europe's danger spots observed labor's hol- iday Saturday in an atmosphere of tenseness. But thoroughly alert- ed police everywhere prevented serious clashes between Commu- nist and Anti-Communist factions of labor organizations. No "Bogota" Chile and Brazil, where author- ities feared Communists plotted "another Bogota" uprising on la- bor's holiday, reported no disturb- ances but much parading and speechmaking.

The Russian-controlled radio at Pyongyang told Koreans the best way to celebrate May Day was to "frustrate the elections in South Korea" on May 10. Orderliness It was a quiet spring day in Tokyo where 350,000 Japanese turned out for the observance, and in Shanghai where truck loads of orderly Chinese workers paraded. In every European land the May Day celebration emphasized the split of labor movements along East-West lines. In eastern u- rope, particularly in Warsaw, the United States was assailed openly as an "aggressor" nation with im- perialistic designs.
