Jews Ready
For Capture
Of Arab Jaffa
1 British To End
Rule Tomorrow
TEL AVIV, Palestine, May 12-
()P)-The Jews announced today
their readiness to take over virtu-
ally deserted all-Arab Jaffa as
soon as Haganah forces can move
in from neighboring Tel Aviv -
perhaps tonight.
With the deadline for the Brit-
ish yielding their Holy Land man-
date a little more than 48 hours
away, these vere other major
Palestine developments:
1. Haganah, the Jewish army,
stepped up its fighting pace in
southern Palestine, reportedly in-
vaded by Egyptian volunteer
troops.
2.Arab infantry and artillery
again closed the vital Jerusal-
em-Tel Aviv highway in a slash-
ing counterattack,
3. Irgun Zvai Leumi, Jewish
fighting force, said its forces, hit-
ting in two columns, had attacked
in the hills of Ephriam.
4. Jewish sources in Haifa
said the all-Arab town of Beisan
near the Trans-Jordan frontier
surrendered to Haganah.
5. Intermittent rifle and ma-
chine gun fire tonight broke the
cease-fire order in Jerusalem for
the first time since Saturday noon.
6. Haganah said units of King
Abdullah's Trans-Jordan Arab
legion-on police duty for the
British in Palestine-were, at-
tacking Kfar Etzion, an isolated
Jewish settlement south of Je-
rusalem.
7. Indications pointed toward
formal proclamation of the He-
brew state a few hours before ex-
piration of the British mandate.
The Jewish announcement of
Jaffa came after an Arab repre-
sentative appealed for a perma-
nent truce.
Israel Rokach, mayor of Tel
Aviv, said he was prepared to take
over administrative cbnt ols of
the neighboring Arab port city as
soon as Haganah was ready to
move in.

Maternity Hospital Fund CIO Walkout
Compromise is Blocked Idles 75,000
Senate, House Committees Fail To Reach j
Decision on Construction Appropriations
A legislature compromise which would have allowed $850,000 for;
continuance of construction on the University Maternity Hospital
and sufficient funds to finish all other campus buildings now under
construction was blocked by Senate financial leaders yesterday.
The compromise came at the end of a three hour peace confer-
ence between the House Ways and Means Committee and the
Senate Financial Committee attempting to rescue the $16,000,000
appropriation bill for state institutions and colleges which was left
up in the air when the special session adjourned April 29.
Stumbling Block
The big stumbling block was the House insistence that money
be granted on the New Northville Hospital sponsored by Gov. Sigler.
Two of the senators told the meeting the Senate would not budge
from its resolution to discontinue
building at Northville.
The Maternity Hospital dis-
agreement stemmed from the
House's grant of $1,645,000 on the
project as against the Senate's
grant of $500,000.
Compromise Rejected
The compromise offered by Sen.
Don Vander Werp halved the
House appropriations for North-
ville and included the $850,000
figure for the University Mater-
nity Hospital. It was unanimously
approved by the House Commit-
tee, but Chairman Otto Bishop
refused even to allow the Senate
committee to be polled.
Observers expect a further peace
conference to be held before the
Legislature meets for final ad
adjournment scheduled for May
20. The $850,000 figure would be
acceptable to the University as a
temporary measure, Vice Presi-
dent Marvin H. Niehuss indicated
last night.

Fear as Cause
Of US._Policy
. Mundt Bill Evidence
Of Dread--Newconl
America's foreign policy is mo-
tivated by fear and dread, Prof.
Theodore M. Newcomb, of the
psycology and sociology depart-
ments, said yesterday.
Speaking before the 16th an-
nual Adult Education Institute,
Prof. Newcomb diagnosed the
American state of mind as a "fun-
damentally healthy" one, how-
ever.
Psychological Pride
But the nation's psychological
feeling of pride and independent
alone-ness in the world may be
back of current actions seeking to
ward off what are considered
Communistic threats to national
security, he declared.
The fear that has crept into our
attitude toward the rest of the
world is reflected in domestic af-
fairs, Prof. Newcomb said. He cit-
ed the "ill-considered" Callahan
Bill in Michigan and the Mundt
Act in Congress as evidences of
this trend.
Malignant Symptoms
Likening the American people
to the social psychiatrist's patient,
Prof. Newcomb said that such
"symptoms" could become malig-
nant. "What the patient needs
is a new vision of the possibilities
of democracy," he said.
At the Institute's afternoon ses-
sion, Dr. Carl V. Weller, chairman
of the pathology department, said
that man's chances of living to a
ripe old age are still improving,
but that talk of "life extension"
is absurd.
Today the conference will con-
tinue with a talk by Dean Rusk,
director of the Office of United
Nations Affairs of the State De-
partment, at 9:15 a.m. in the
Rackham Lecture Hall.
Men's Council
Petitions Due
Committee Schedules
Interviews Next Week
Students interested- in obtain-
ing positions on the Men's Ju-
diciary Council may pick up peti-
tion blanks at the Student Affairs
Office.
Petitioners should have at least
60 credit hours and should have a
background in campus affairs.
Council members will be ap-
pointed by a committee composed
of the male members of the Stu-
dent Legislature cabinet. Inter-
viewing will be held next week,
with petitions due at the Student
Affairs Office by 4 p.m. Monday.
Formerly under the jurisdiction
of the Student Legislature, and
composed exclusively of Legisla-
ture members, the Council was re-
organized last year in its present
form as the judicial branch of the
student government.
The Council's primary function
is to hear and decide upon all vio-
lations of student conduct rules
framed by the Student Legisla-
ture, or of University regulations
in cases referred by the Office of
Student Affairs.
At Chrysler
Strike Will Test
State Labor Law
DETROIT, May 12-(P)-Chrys-
ler's 75.000 CIO employes laid
down their tools today in the first
major automobile strike since
1945.
The walkout, stemming frot a
demand for a third round of pot-
war wage increases, posed an im-
mediate test of Michigan's new Ta-
bor law.
It was estimated that the strike
would cost the CIO United Auto
Workers $800,000 a day in wages
and the corporation 5,000 cars and;
trucks a day.
The Union sought a raise of
30 cents an hour but out that
demand to 17 cents only 12
hours before the strike. Chrys-
ler's best offer was six cents.
The pre-strike average was
about $1.50 an hour.
Gov. Sigler ordered his state la-
bor mediation board to test the
new Bonine-Tripp Labor Law on
the Chrysler strikers. A court
complaint against the Union isi
possible.
The law requires a State-con-
ducted strike vote before a walk-
out. The UAW-CIO ignored it on
grounds that Chrysler has plants
outside Michigan.
"If the law is constitutional,
we might as wll find out now,"
Sigler told newsmen.
The placard-bearing pickets re-
ceived a surprise visit at the big
Dodge plant from Henry A. Wal-
lace, Third - Party Presidential
candidate. here to address a rally
Thursday night. He told them:
"I'm glad you are doing some-
thing to get the profits of the au-
tomobile industry which right-
fully belong to you."
Sawyer Talks
On Scientist's
Responsibility
The modern scientist should de-
vote his energies to the improve-
ment of our knowledge of the nat-
ural world without "meddling" in
other fields in the opinion of Dr.
Ralph A. Sawyer, Dean of the
School of Graduate Studies and
professor of physics.
Speaking at the annual Sigma
Xi initiation ceremonies on "The
Social Responsibilities of Modern
Science," Dr. Sawyer said last
night that "the scientist should,
however, seize every opportunity
to enlighten the public and should
devote more time to this than he
has in the past."
On the negative side, Dr. Saw-
yer expressed disagreement with
the belief that modern scientists
should be held responsible for the
misapplication of their discoveries.
"The search for truth for its own
sake must persist," he said.
Dr. Sawyer concluded by con-
trasting pure and social sciences.
"In my opinion," he commented,
"social studies need more science
and science needs more philoso-
phy in the determination and crit-
icism of its objectives."
Sigma Xi is the national honor
society for research scientists. Last
night's ceremonies marked the ini-
tiation of 223 new University fac-
ulty and student members into the
society.

Dr. Pollock was called to Ger-
many on request of Secretary of
the Army Kenneth Royall. It is
his third trip as an adviser on
German affairs in three years.
Relief Plus Rehabilitation
He termed the situation in Ger-
many at present as "critical." He
said that relief in the form of food
will continue. But that the em-
phasis now will be shifted to re-
building German industry in ac-
cordance with present American
policy.
American plans call for a com-
pact, rejuvenated economic unit
composed of the occupied zones
now under British, American and
French control.
Initial steps toward this end
were taken last year when the
British and American zones com-
bined into an economic unit with
headquarters in Frankfurt known
as Bizonia.
Strengthen Democratic Germany
Current efforts will be directed
toward formation of a working
Trizonia, according to Pollock.
Observers have regarded a
strengthened democratic Ger-
many, excluding the eastern zone,
as a buffer against further ex-
pansion of the Iron Curtain.
Dr. Pollock would not comment
on the place former German in-
dustrialists might have in the new
German program. He said he
would have to further study the
situation when he arrived in Ber-
lin.

Marshall Hits
Russian Talk
Of Meeting
Bevin, Wallace
Hope for Parley
By The Associated Press
Secretary of State Marshall re-
jected flatly today any Soviet-
American conference aimed at a
general settlement between the
two great powers.
Other comment on the lat-
est Russian-American exch*4ge
ranged from British Foreign See-
retary Bevin's declaration that
any big-power conference must
wait until "the ground has been
cleared," to Henry Wallace's ac-
cusation that Marshall is only
continuing the "cold war."
Marshall, however, held the
door open to greatly improved
dealings with Russia in the-
United Nations and other diplo-
matic agencies.
He even indicated at a news
conference that he suspects the
Kremlin may have decided to
soften Russian foreign policy.
He read a paragraph from the
statement which Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov gave to Ame-
can Ambassador Walter Bedel
Smith in Moscow last Sunday de-
claring that Russia's policy toward
the United States has always been
and will continue to be "a peace
loving policy and one of collabora*
tion."
Marshall said that statement
should be read with regard to
the future. He added that he
considers it a very important
statement, which the whole
world will be waiting to see ful-
filled.
He also told questioning report-
ers that the exchange of notes be-
tween Smith and Molotov and
their surprise publication by Mos-
cow may have helped the cause of
world peace and brightened the
prospects for a settlement of out-
standing differences.
In London, meanwhile, Ernest
Bevin told the House of Cm-
mons that although he was
anxious for a settlement with
the Soviet Union, any hasty
calling of a conference would
invite failure.
Asked by former former Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden about the
Soviet - American diplomatic ex-
change in wJhich Russia an-
nounced that she had "accepted"
what she construed as a U. S. in-
vitation to a conference, Bevin
said:
"I suggest that to call a con-
ference on the basis of generali-
ties without precise prepara-
tory work is going to land us
exactly where we were with
four-power conferences."
He criticized Moscow for pub-
licizing the Russian and American
statements, saying, "before the
United States government re-
ceived a reply from the Soviet
government, publication was made
through the Tass agency. While
that diplomatic usage goes on, the
clearing of the ground for an un-
derstanding is almost impossible."
Other comment came from
Henry Wallace, speaking in De-
troit. The third party presidential
candidate declared that Mar-
shall's publicized denial that any
"general discussions" had been
asked of the USSR by U. S. Am-
bassador Walter Bedell Smith,
dampened the spirits of many
people in this country, who were
about to yell "hurrah" at the pros-
pect of peaceful negotiation.
