Voles Passage
Of Draft Bill
Academic Year
Can Be Finished
WASHINGTON, May 3-(P)_
The House Armed Services Com
mittee voted 28 to 5 today for a
peacetime draft designed to hel
build up a military force of mor
than 2,000,000 men.
Men from 18 through 30 woul
have to register with those fron
19 through 25 liable for two year
yrservice. Most veterans would be
exempt. College students would b
allowed to finish an academic
year.
Secretary of Defense Forrestal
praised the measure as an ex-
cellent one to cope with what
he has called world tension and
others have called the threat of
war with Russia.
At the same time, Forrestal said
he prefers a Senate draft bill
-Bich also provides for training of
1R,-year-olds as reserves. The Sen-
ate Armed Services Committee
worked on this measure in secrecy
today.
(The administration has been
«Seeking: (1) A temporary draft
and (2) A longer-range system of
universal military training unde
which younger men would be
tVained in a new system of camps
and other institutions. These UMT
students would not be in the army.
(The Senate Committee has
favored merging the two plans,
training the 18-year-olds in the
armed services along with
draftee4. The House Armed
Services Committee unanimous-
ly approved a separate UMT bill
last summer, but so far neither
House or Senate has voted on
such a bill.)
Forrestal told the House Armed
8rvices Committee that the draft
bill it approved today provides an
answer to the "immediate and im-
perative demand for something to
augment the size of our armed
forces."
Secretary of the Army Royall
called it "thoroughly acceptable to
all the services-Army, Navy and
Air Force."
Students Plan
UNDody Here
With the goal of a "world of
goodwill," the call will go out
tonight for students to organize
a campus "Model UN" organiza-
tion, according to Bill Miller,
chairman of a committee planning
the project.
"Student representatives who
participated in the successful
Model General Assembly held
April 21 and anyone interested in
learning how the UN works may
attend," Miller said.
The new group hopes to set up
more "model" meetings and dis-
cuss the problems that face the
present United Nations, sponso
speakers on UN topics, present
radio programs and affiliate with
the Collegiate Council for the
United Nations.
Students will take the sides of
various nations and discuss world
issues on an unbiased basis, ac-
cording to Miller.
The meeting will be held at 7:30
p.m. today in the Inteinational
Center.
Campus Book
Drive Planned
A three-day campus drive, spon-
sored by AVC, to collect books for
the library of Ann Arbor's new
Veterans' Readjustment Centcr
will beg irtomorrow.
Students are requested by Tom
Murray, chairman of the cam-
paign, to contribute any kind of
readable book, either fiction or
non - fiction. Veteran patients'
reading preferences are more ma-
ture and diversified than most
people suppose, uc(ording to Rec-
reational Director Margaret Mc-
AHugh.
Book receptacles will be located
at several points on campus, in-
cluding the Diagonal, the Union,
and the League.
Opened last October, the Cen-
ter's library now has about 250
volumes, hardly enough, said Miss

Two-Day Toll Set at
23 Dead,_156 Hurt
By The Associated Press
Death-dealing tornadoes, stirred
up by spring's changing weather,
added Texas to their list Monday
with at least three killed for a
48-hour toll of 23 dead and more
than 156 injured in six states.
The Texas tornadic windstorm
hit McKinney, a city of 100,
and nearby Princeton, both about
30 miles north of Dallas. The
storm cut a 600-yard path of fury,
two miles long, through McKin-
ney.
Buildings Destroyed
It tore the second floor off a
$2,000,000 textile mill, blew off
the top floor of the city hospital,
ripped off the metal roof of a
grade school, and smashed an es-
timated 150 houses.
Oklahoma, one of the states
struck Saturday night, received
. fresh blow. A tornado hit the
center of the town of Caney in
southwest Oklahoma, but a few-
minutes warning enabled the res-
idents to take refuge in storm
cellars.
The postoffice, a theatre and
several stores and homes were de-
stroyed.
Neighboring Towns Hit
Violent ,windstorms hit neigh-
boring Coleman, Mill Creek and
Sulphur in rapid succession. Three
persons were reported injured.
The deadly winds scourged Ok-
lahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Ken-
tucky and West Virginia in a
West-East course which started
Saturday.
Heavy rains poured additional
misery on survivors in hard-hit
West Virginia after, the winds
abated.
Six rural West Virginia com-
munities bore the brunt of the
twisters in that state.
Three members of the Raymond
Aylor family of Hupp Hill died in
the Clarksburg Hospital of storm
injuries. One may was killed near
Weston and a fifth victim, another
man was killed at Mount Clare.

Stassen Bids
For Farmers'
Vote in Ohio
CLEVELAND, May 3 - (/W) --
Harold E. Stassen posted tonight
a proposal to boost farm price sup-
ports as he bid for rural backing
in his Ohio Presidential delegate
battle with Senator Robert A. Taft
In advance of tomorrow's ex-
pected heavy primary balloting,
Stassen urged in a prepared radio
address that the cost of farm
hired labor be included in fixing
the floor the Government has put
under some crops.
This proposal, often made by
farm state lawmakers, could be
expected to raise the floor.
This sharpened his differences
with Taft. The latter said in Ne-
braska some months ago that the
level of price supports should be
reduced somewhat.
With fair skies forecast for most
of the state, upwards of three-
quarters of a million Republicans
are expected to go to the polling
places in a 12-hour stretch begin-
ning at 6:30 a.m. (CDT).
They will pick 53 delegates to
the June Republican convention
in Philadelphia which will nomi-
nate a Presidential candidate.
Stassen is contesting in races
involving 23 delegates. While most
of these battles are in industrial
areas, at least eight will be chosen
in districts where the farm vote is
top-heavy.

vote of ten to three.
This means that at midnight
tonight, the time will be 1 a.m.
Vice - President Robert P.
Briggs said that the University
would follow the city time
change. Classroom clocks will
be adjusted to switch to summer
time.
Several near-by cities, includ-
ing Detroit, went on Daylight

Beginning at 12:01 a.m. Wed-

Daily last night. All NYC trains
are running on Eastern Stand-
ard Time.
Greyhound bus line officials
said that their schedules were all
on Standard Time and that the
hour difference between scheduled
and running time would prevail.
The resolution passed the
council after an amendment
setting the time change for next
Sunday was declared defeated
by President C. O. Creal.
The shift to Daylight Savings
had been opposed by local farm-
ers and groups who did =not want,
to follow Detroit's lead. At a prev-
ious council meeting, a decision
on the time change issue had
passed by a narrow one-vote mar-
gin.

Restrictive Real-Estate Covenants
Held Violation of 14th Amendment
WASHINGTON, May 3-('P)-Courts cannot enforce real estate
agreements which bar colored persons from all-white neighborhoods,
the Supreme Court ruled today.
In a 6-0 decision, the Court said government action to back up
such covenants violates the "equal protection" clause in the 14th
Amendment, and in Washington, D.C., breaks a federal law covering
similar ground.
The court specified, however, that the clause "erects no shield
against merely private conduct, however discriminatory or wrong-
ful."
It said there is no violation so long as the agreements are
carried out voluntarily.

If you want expert testimony
as to what the Fresh Air Camp,
whose annual tag day drive will
be held tomorrow, can do for
underprivileged boys, just ask a
man who knows-Julie Franks,
former University football star
who served as athletic assistant
at the camp last summer.
"You can't imagine what it does
for a kid who never knew how
to hold a bat when he is able to
play ball with the rest of the
fellows." Franks said.
The Feeling of Belonging
"For the first time he is part
of the group, and looked up to.
That gives hime the confidence he
rneeds and helps him fit in better
in other social situations," he ex-
plained.
Although l his sciaty wa ath-

the other counselors, emphasized
personal attention for each boy
in all activities. "We try to give
them the affection and under-
standing that they need but have
never had," he said.
Good food, rest, and work and
play with other children are fitted
into the camping program and
they all help make the boys better
citizens, he added.

thony Pasquariello of the Spanish
department, and makeup, props
and costumes have been handled
by the students.
The action of "Nuestra Nata-
cha" takes place in a Spanish uni-
