Military Force Requested for Jerusalem LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. 16-(IP)- The Palestine Commission called upon the Security Council tonight for adequate military force to pre- vent uncontrolled bloodshed in the Holy Land and religious war in Jerusalem. The five-member commission in a unanimous special report run- ning 4,500 words declared that time is of the "utmost import- ance" in carrying out the decision of the 1947 United Nations Assem- bly to divide Palestine into Jew- ish and Arabic countries. The commission, speaking bluntly to the council, declared that "powerful Arab interests, both inside and outside Pales- tine," are defying the Assembly and are deliberately trying to alter by force the partition plan. It said also that certain ele- ments of the Jewish community in Palestine continue to commit irre- sponsible acts of violence which worsen the security situation. The five members of the com- mission agreed unanimously to the report, on which they have worked daily since mid-January.

NOTED VISITOR: British Seek Foreign Student Exchanges --- Lady Reading By DELORES OLSEN England welcomes internation- al student exchange not only on a academic but on a friendly basis, Lady Stella Reading told an au- dience of students, faculty mem- bers and the general public yes- terday in the Rackham Building. Lady Reading, who is in the United States to receive the Na-f PROF. A. D. MOORE S* * g Republicans Select Three CityCandidates Three candidates for the bi- partisan city election in Aprill were selected by Ann Arbor Re- publicans in a light primary vote yesterday: In the sixth ward, the incum- bent, Prof. A. D. Moore of the engineering school defeated Prof. Byron O. Hughes of the education school by a vote of 138 to 48 in the race for alderman. The position of county super- visor on the April ballot was won by Mrs. Ruth M. Dana, wife of Prof. S. T. Dana of the forestry school, defeating Mrs. Wilmoth Barker by a count of 114 to 70. The third ward race for the su- pervisor spoton the ballot was won by incumbent Fred J. Wil- liams with 76 votes over Harvey A. Ward's 40 votes. Republican contests were lim- ited to the third and sixth wards. In the others, there was no dis- pute over the position on the bal- lot. Totals in the sixth ward races are unofficial but accurate as all voting was done by machine. No contests developed for posi- tions on the Democratic ballot although they will run a full ticket in the April elections. tional Achievement Award, select- ed the University as one of three campuses she would address on her current visit in an attempt to promote the inter-exchange of students. Space Denied Students At present, she reported, one tenth of England's university space has been denied her stu- dents in order to accommodate foreign students who would be willing not only to undergo the distressed system of life that the country has been burdened by, but to help develop "mental re- habilitation" that England has started. "Contacts made by American soldiers in England during the war have been tremendously im- portant," Lady Reading stated., "We want to continue those con- tacts and develop more." Impoverished Condition Lady Reading maintained that the exchange of students would be of value in the world today and for tomorrow. General Eisenhower had this in mind, she said, when he gave his men six months leave to study in England. England's impoverished condi- tion, as a result of war are for- gotten by the sight of nations that are more unfortunate, Lady Read- ing asserted, but the country is making the most of what it has. Although many schools and books were destroyed, those utilities available are shared and radio is taking important steps toward more educational programs. "Courage, vision and faith are the essentials required to live in peace," Lady Reading observed. "We are not living in peace now but in the absence of war." Prices Bound Upward Again CHICAGO, Feb. 16- (03) - Prices of many commodities today bounded upward in one of the strongest rallies since the slump began almost two weeks ago at the nation's major primary mar- kets. Grains, hogs and cattle, leaders of the American menus, were up rather sharply at the Chicago Board of Trade and LivestockL Market. Wholesale butter was up as much as 3 cents a pound in. Chicago and 21/2 cents in New York. New York stocks also re- vived, although volume was small. Retail food stores continued to feature lower meat prices because of recent market recessions. How- ever Agriculture Department eco- nomists in Washington said the meat price dips probably would be short-lived. They said meat animals on farms were declining and consumer demand was ex- pected to continue high. Senate Group Votes To Keep, Modified Curbs House Bill Proposes 30-DayExtension By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-The Senate Banking Committee agreed today to extend rent con- trols for 14-months in modified form. The new bill provides for higher rents where landlords are suffer- ing losses. The House Banking Committee decided to recommend an emer- gency 30-day extension of existing law while it works out details of a longer run plan. The present law expires February 29. Follow Court Action Both actions came within hours of a Supreme Court decision up- holding the constitutionality of rent controls. It said the law was a valid use of the war powers of Congress. Both branches of Congress will have to act to keep rent control alive. The solution may be a stop- gap extension while the more permanent legislation makes its way through Congress, and House and Senate versions are adjusted. The Senate committee bill would continue controls through April 30, 1949. After a series of votes on amendments, the com- mittee approved the final form unanimously. Present Provisions Present law provides that land- lords may increase rents as much as 15 per cent if tenants agree to such an increase in return for a lease running through 1948. The new bill provides that in the cases of tenants who made such agreements, the landlord is barred from raising rents again until April 30, 1949. Thus these tenants are given an additional four months of protection against increases. As for other tenants, the new bill provides that landlords may raise their rents 15 per cent if the tenants agree and if a lease is signed running through 1949. Another section of the bill makes it mandatory for the hous- ing expediter to make any rent adjustments necessary "to prevent any person from suffering a loss in the operation of any controlled housing accommodation." Urge Change Of Dance Site Claim Soph Prom Is Too Big for Union The Soph Prom Committee, af- ter attempting unsuccessfully to change the location of the an- nual class dance, released a state- ment yesterday, explaining their predicament and presenting the stand taken by the University. According to Jack Waters, pub- licity chairman, the committee feels that the Prom should receive more consideration. "The sopho- more classhishthe largest, so we feel we should get something larger than the Union Ballroom, since it can accommodate only about 450 couples." The University, he said, wants to keep the dance at the Union because it has always proved ade- quate. "Dean Rae has cooperated, but the Student Affairs Commit- tee and Mr. Riskey, who says his quota for dances at IM is filled, still feel the dance should be held at the Union. Some of the dances already slated for IM are of smaller size and less import than ours," he claimed. Waters further pointed out that the University is afraid the dance Swouldn't go over financially if it were enlarged. "But we feel," he L' r 6 z C C S f t ti T T j Y 1 t f 2 . SALESMANSHIP-The 'Ensian's enthusiastic campaign manager, Al Grossman, congratulates Au- drey Axelrod upon purchase of the 4,500th 'Ensian. Bill Zerman, sales and promotion, writes out the subscription. * * * * <. _ COED HOOKED: 'Ensian Sets New Record v i A surprised Audrey Axelrod made Michigan history yesterday when she was acclaimed the 4,500 person to buy the '48 Ensian. The pretty coed remained cool, however, during the bedlam that ensued as salesmen congratulated each other resoundingly on their all times sales record. Her first remark was, "Anything can hap- pen here." The previous record of 3,300 sales was doomed to obscurity as orders continued to pour into En- sian headquarters. Al ,Grossman, sales manager, contemplates many more sales before the books close.. "Our greatest drawback is that students don't know of our start- ling new format. We feel sure that if they did our sales would reach unprecipitated proportions." Buck Dawson, enthusiastic edi- tor, could merely say, "My mis- sion is completed. I can leave Michigan at peace with my soul." Olivier's Henry V Acclaimed QuOH,66-54 In Home Tilt Ohio State Whips Wisconsin,.5347 By IRWIN ZUCKER Michigan's surging batketball team moved into first place in the unpredictable Big Nine race last night by downing Indiana here, 66-54, as the previously front-run- ning Wisconsin quintet fell to Ohio State, 53-47, at Columbus. Clawing toward their first un- disputed Conference crown since 1927, the Wolverine boosted their season record in league play to 6-2. The Badgers, defending ti- tlists, dropped to the runner-up slot with a 6-3 mark. Mack Suprunowicz, the wiry Michigan forward who paced his mates to Saturday's impressive victory over Purdue, was high- man in the Wolverine attack again last night, chalking up 21 points on eight baskets and five free throws. However, it was "Supey's" run- ning mate, Don McIntosh who dealt the Hurryin' Hoosiers their heaviest blows. With Indiana leading, 41-40, at the three-quarter mark, McIntosh sparked Michigan's flurry of eight straight points as he tossed in three baskets from the pivot post. Michigan's high-flying hockey sextet annexed its twelfth vic- tory of the season as it upset California, 11-2. Sam Stedman paved the way for the Wolver- ines' win as he scored three goals, one in each of the three periods. Gordie McMillan and Bill Jacobson tallied twice for the Wolverines.

Shakespeare students yesterday by Prof. H. T. Price, noted Shakes- peare authority. Prof. Price, in expressing his approval of the production, es- pecially cited Olivier's ability to speak verse beautifully. "Henry V," which is making it's return engagement this Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, met with equal approval from other members of the English depart- ment contacted by The Daily. "A gorgeous and highly enter- taining film," said Prof. Norman E. Nelson, "and a production which makes Shakespeare more readily available to the public than acting companies do." Another member of the depart- ment, Dr. Norris Greenhut, also recommended the film highly. "One of the values of Olivier's pro- duction is that it will enable stu- dents to visualize the Shakespear- ean stage, which is very important in the study of Shakespeare." He added, "It helps one to sense the power of blank verse lines, which Shakespeare uses so much." Bulletin Four pieces of fire equilR- ment were called out this morn- ing to battle a blaze believed to have started at 12:15 a.m. from an overheated furnace at 713 Packard. When The Daily went to press, the fire was not yet un- der control, and billowing clouds of black smoke continued to pour out of the basement. The film, brought back to the Michigan campus by popular de- mand, will be shown twice daily at 2:30 and 8:30 p.m. this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Choice seats are still available for all six per- formances. Tickets may be obtained at the box office of the Lydia Mendels- sohn Theatre from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow, and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thurs- eay, Friday and Saturday. All proceeds from the film will go to the recently reactivated Stu- dent Award Fund, which aids stu- dents who are active in campus affairs but do not benefit from scholarships. IRA To Hold First Meeting The Inter-Racial Association will feature a talk by Rev. John Miles of the Peoples Institute of Applied Religion in Detroit dur- ing their first meeting of the semester at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Union. Rev. Miles will speak on "Racial Discrimination, Past andnFuture" placing special emphasis on cur- rent cases of discrimination. The meeting will begin with a short discussion of IRA's plans for the new semester. The group intends to formulateits next step in connection with "Operation Haircut" and the coming trial of Dominic Dascola, Ann Arbor bar- ber charged with violating the Diggs Anti-Discrimination Act. Truman Asks Aid Extension For Greece WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-(IP)- President Truman told Congress today he will ask more military help to strengthen Greece and Turkey against Communism. Greece in particular cannot be saved from Communist-engi- neered collapse until rebel forces "subservient to foreign influences" are wiped out, 'the President said. He was reporting on the $300,- 000,000 program of military aid to Greece, and the $100,000,000 for Turkey, voted by Congress last year to help both countries protect their freedom. Chairman Bridges (R-NH) of the Senate Appropriations Com- mittee 'said meanwhile his group is going to want "much more infor- mation" before it decides how much should be spent for Euro- pean recovery in general. The President asked $6,800,000,- 000 for the first 15 months of the program, which involves 16 coun- tries and Western Germany. The Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee last week recommended $5,- 300,000,000 for the first 12 months. Both figures have been attacked by Senators Taft of Ohio, Wherry of Nebraska and a few other lead- ing Republicans as too high. Any funds voted must first be approved by House and Senate Appropria- tions Committees. Mr. Truman said the Turkish aid program "Is proceeding in an orderly manner." But Greece, he told Congress, is being subjected to "ever increas- ing pressure by the Communist minority" in a "determined and ruthless" war on the country's common people. And this, the President said. "is sapping the economic strength of Greece at the same time that the American mission for aid to Greece is seeking to build it up.' Capt. Bob Harrison contributed a pair of charity tosses during that drive that helped put the Wolver- ines in a comfortable 48-41 lead. After that, Indiana just couldn't keep pace with the deceptive Wol- verine attack, as the Maize and Blue went on to bulge their gap to 50-42, 58-49, 59-49, 63-52, and the final 66-54. Fivie Point Margin The largest lead Michigan pos- sessed in the first half was a five- ooint margin when the score- board read 17-12. Then Indiana, employing their famed "firehourse" type of ball- playing, started clicking, and took a 21-20 lead on a sparkling two- pointer by Murray Mendenhall, reserve guard, with 60 seconds re- maining in the half. At this point, the 8,000 fans at Yost Field House were treated to an action-packed minute of fast rind furious basketball. Lou Watson, who bagged run- ner-up scoring honors for the eve- ning with 19 points, tossed in a gift shot to give the Hoosiers a See 'M' TOPS, Page 3 Soviets Leve N'ew Charges I World News At A Glance By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Legislation to permit U.S. military mis- sions-but not combat troops-to be assigned to foreign governments was passed today by the House.

By The Associated Press MOSCOW, Feb. 16-The Soviet Tnion charged tonight that the '7nited States and Britain talked peace terms with Germany dur- ing World War II. It also accused Britain and -'ranee of seeking to start a war -ith Russia in 1940 instead of >hting Germany. Russia said that Allen W. Dulles, brother of John Foster Dulles, r nresented the U. S. in conver- SItions with a German spokesman -. 1942 which touched on the -estion of concluding peace with rmany. The Soviet Government also ac- .sed the Allies of failing to ful- ll a promise of a second front in 2urope in 1942 and 1943, and c-harged that leading Finnish cir- cles sought to make Finland a springboard for Hitler's attack on Russia.
