First Series in 28 Years for Tribe;
Face Braves Tomorrow for Opener
(See Pictures of Boudreau and Bearden, Page 3)
BOSTON,-(P')-Cleveland's battling Indians loosed a searing
home run barrage behind stout-hearted five-hit pitching by Lefty
Gene Bearden to crush the Boston Red Sox, 8 to 3, in a "sudden death"
playoff for the American League pennant.
Two mighty blasts into the left field screen at Fenway Park by
Manager Lou Boudreau and a three-run homer by third baseman Ken
Keltner high outside the orchard-all within the first five innings-
gave the Tribesmen all the runs they needed to humble the Hose and
qualify for their first world series in 28 years.
* * * *
THE INDIANS will oppose the Boston Braves in the fall classic
beginning here tomorrow.
Bearden, 28-year-old Purple Heart veteran of the war in the
Pacific, pitched his second complete game in three days and
would have blanked the fearsome Sox sluggers for the last eight
innings but for an error behind him by second baseman Joe
Gordon in the sixth.
Led by Boudreau with his two circuit smashes and two line
singles, the Indians bashed two Boston flingers, Denny Galehouse
and Ellis Kinder, for 13 solid blows and were never under pressure
after Keltner delivered his three-run blast in the fourth.
The 36-YEAR-OLD Galehouse, a surprise nomination by Manager
Joe McCarthy, was driven to the showers by Keltner's homer, his 31st
of the year. Kinder gave up the last eight Cleveland hits and four
runs.
A crowd of just under 34,000 saw the Cleveland players put
on a wild demonstration as they rushed for the dressing room
after the final out.
Despite a newly-fitted artificial leg, youthful president Bill Veeck
of the Tribe half-ran clear across the infield to join his men and help
whack Bearden's broad shoulders.

MuiC1pl Excise Tax on.
Amusements Is Considered
With an eye to Ann Arbor's increasing size and the High Cost of
Living, the City Council last night contemplated a municipal excise
tax on football tickets, show prices and other amusements.
After councilmen considered what a 10 per cent tax on Wolver-
ine gridiron receipts would net, the Council unanimously, passed a>
resolution calling for a Mayor's Committee on City Financing. The
committee would study excise taxes and other means of adding to the
city's income.
ALDERMAN A. D. MOORE, professor of electrical engineering,
proposed the resolution. He stated that city expenses would rise $100,-
000 in the coming year.

Dewey Visit
No Formal Speech,
Say Party Members
The campus may play host to a
distinguished alumnus, Thomas E.
Dewey, if present plans of the
Young Republicans pan out.
Jim Schoener, chairman of the
campus chapter of the group, said
last night that if Gov. Dewey
makes his tentative campaign
junket into Michigan, he wants to
include the University in his itine-
rary.
* * *
SCHOENER revealed that the
local Young Republicans sent an
invitation to Dewey last August
to visit his old alma mater.
The group received a reply
from Dewey's campaign head-
quarters indicating that he was
especially eager to visit the Uni-
versity and hisi home town,
Owosso. I
(The Detroit Free Press report-
ed yesterday that Dewey's cam-
paign swing into Michigan is a
"virtual certainty."
Schoener indicated that if
Dewey came to Ann Arbor he
would make no formal address.
Williams To
Speak Here
G. Mennen Williams, Democratic
candidate for governor, will visit
Ann Arbor tomorrow to give a
speech and attend a dinner given
by the Washtenaw County Demo-
crats.
He will speak at 5 p.m. in the
Masonic Temple on "What's at
Stake in the State." He will then
go diirectly to the dinner at 6:30
raises in the prices of materials
and personnel additions to the
police force would account for
the increases, according to Al-
derman Moore.
He jumped his estirUyte another
$40,000 for refuse collection after;
the council passed a revised gar-
bage ordinance which would re-
sult in municipal garbage and
refuse collection by October 15,
1949.
THE ORDINANCE calls for
payments for the collection serv-
ice, but Alderman Moore said
payments would be "none too sat-
isfactory" and called for collec-
tion on a free basis.
Members of the committee are
expected to be named later.
* * *
(IF THE PROPOSED excise tax
is passed, it Would probably apply
in all cases where Federal amuse-
ment taxes are now collected.)
Alderman Moore commented
that, in the opinion of Michigan
Municipal League officials, the
city was collecting all the monies
possible under existing regula-
tions.

Calls Russian
Berlin Stand
Peace Threat
Predicts Dewey's
November Win
WASHINGTON - (P) - Sena-
tor Arthur H. Vandenberg, (Rep.
Mich.) described national unity as
the best peace insurance and said
U. S. voters can change the na-
tional administration "without
affecting the continuity of our
foreign policy."
At the same time, the chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee condemned Russia'
attitude on the Berlin blockade a
a "tlreat to everybody's peace, ou
own emphatically included."
* * *
VANDENBERG predicted the
election of Republican Thomas E.
Dewey as President in indirect but
unmistakable language. He said
the Republicans cooperated with
the administration on a bi-parti-
san foreign policy and added:
"I express the belief that our
patriotic, Democratic friends
will follow this example when
they are the 'opposition' come
next January 20."
Vandenberg praised Dewey and
his running mate, Gov. Earl War-
ren of California, calling them
men of exceptional "administra-
tive genius."
VANDENBERG listed two ma-
jor advantages in a bi-partisan
foreign policy:
"One: it permits our democ-
racy to speak with a great de-
gree of unity at critical mo-
ments....
"Two: it leaves us free to
change our national administra-
tion, if such be the people's desire
and advantage, without affecting
the continuity of our foreign pol-
icy."
VANDENBERG, veteran sena-
tor from Michigan, stated the po-
sition of the Republicans party in
a speech prepared for a nationwide
radio (CBS) broadcast.
In the meantime, Gov. Dewey
awaited at Albany a report from
John Foster Dulles, United
States representative to the
United Nations, who has flown
home from Paris to confer with
the New York governor. Dulles
is Dewey's closest adviser on
foreign affairs.
Vandenberg stressed the Re-
publican role in the nation's so-
called "bipartisan" foreign policy
throughout his half-hour address.
He said that during the past four
years efforts to take American for-
eign affairs out of "partisan poli-
tics" have "to an important de-
gree" succeeded, with credit to
both major parties.
"In the face of any foreign
problems, our unity is as impor-
tant as our atom bombs," he de-
clared. "It is particularly impor-
tant as a discouragement to alien
miscalculation which, otherwise,
might lead to the mistaken belief
that we are vulnerable because of
our domestic divisions. It is our
best available i nsurance for
peace."

WHITE HOUSE PARLEYS:
T ruman Patches Up Feud with Ickes
WASHINGTON - (/P) - Presi-
dent Truman put patches on a
couple of old political feuds and
prepared to hit the road again on
Wednesday, northward bound.
He was described as confident
of "great progress" in recent
stumping.
Former secretary of the interior,
Harold L. Ickes, who quit the Tru-
man Cabinet in wrath, paid his
first visit to the White House in
two and one-half years. He came
out smiling, said the chat was "en-
tirely friendly" and promised a
statement "in good time."
A. F. WHITNEY, the railroad
trainmen's chief who once vowed
to throw his union's treasury into
a fight against Mr. Truman but
changed his mind, disclosed plans
to campaign for the Democrats
across the country.
After these two parleys, the
President plotted two more
weeks of grinding train-and-
plane campaigning in a huddle
with Senator J. Howard Mc-
Grath, Democratic chairman.
Mr. Truman has been home
only two days from a 140-plus
speech tour of the West.
The campaign flag will be
hoisted over the Presidential spe-
cial train Wednesday for a thrust
into industrial Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and upstate New York.
PRESS SECRETARY Charles
G. Ross promised "a major speech
on atomic energy" at the kickoff
in Philadelphia tomorrow night.
Major talks also will be made at
Jersey City on Thursday and Buf-
falo on Friday, with lesser
speeches sprinkled along the right
of way.
Then, after a one-day pause
in Washington, Mr. Truman will
strike west on Sunday for major
or near-major speeches at Ak-
ron, O., on October 11 and on
the succeeding days at Spring-
field, Ill., St. Paul, Minn., Mil-
waukee, Wis., and Indianapolis.
The fortnight's travel will be
rounded out with a "non-politi-
cal" address to the American Le-
gion convention at Miami on Oct.
18 and two speeches at Raleigh,
N.C., on Oct. 19. He will fly both
ways this trip.
FinerLife?
Police carrying pitchforks are
patrolling the edge of campus
today on the lookout for a
black cow which is reported to
be seeking the greener pastures
of higher education.
Farmer Conrad Ganzhorn
told officers the black bovine
had left his farm at the edge
of the city and was last seen
heading for campus town.
A university official an-
nounced firmly that the cow
would have to take entrance
exams like any other fresh-
man.
IBabson 's
Supporters
Slate Talks
With the next meeting of the
American Veterans Committee
campus chapter only two days
way, a flurry of activity has
erupted on the AVC front.
A majority of the members of
AVC's executive committee, com-
posed of supporters of chairman
Dave Babson, has scheduled a se-
ries of informal talks before va-
rious campus grovips. The talks
are designed to better acquaint
interested veterans with the issues
at stake at Thursday's meeting
and to recruit new members.
* * *
ACCORDING TO Everett Bo-
vard, vice-chairman of AVC, the
discussions will be strictly "non-
partisan" in character.
Bovard is scheduled to speak
today at the Robert Owen,
Michigan, and Nakamura coop-
erative houses and to the West
Quad council at the Union.
Quentin Nesbitt, AVC's record-
ing secretary, will present a sim-
ilar talk before the Association
of Independent Men sometime be-
fore Thursday's meeting.
WHEN INFORMED of the pro-
posed talks by Bovard and Nesbitt,
John Sloss, who last week pro-
posed the resolution demanding
recall proceedings against Dave
Babson, gave his wholehearted
support to the plan-"as long as
the talks are non-partisan," he
added.
Sloss also suggested that some
of "the rank and file" accom-
pany Bovard and Nesbitt "so
that other views might be given
if any questions come up about
the recent fracas in AVC."
Other evidence of increased AVC
activity was a "fact sheet" mailed
out to all active campus members
which consisted of recent excerpts
from The Daily. Quoted state-
ments were presented without
comment and members asked to
make their own decisions.
The sheets were signed by Sloss
and five others.

Confine Issue
To Big Four'
--Vishinsky
Jessup Demands
UN Consideration
PARIS-(A)-Russia's Andrei Y.
Vishinsky demanded angrily that
the Berlin deadlock go to the
Council of Foreign Ministers.
The United States insisted firm-
ly that the Security Council act
to halt the Soviet blockade.
Vishinsky said the Security
Council had no business discussing
the stalemate. "Gentlemen, you
have got the wrong address," he
cried out.
U.S. DELEGATE Philip C. Jes-
sup-backed up by Britain-said
Russia is threatening world peace
in Berlin, and the threat is against
the United States, Britain aid
France. Jessup said the Security
Council is the place to handle such
threats to peace.
The Council adjourned with-
out a vote after three hours and
twenty minutes of procedural
wrangles and debate on whether
to put the Western Power com-
plaint against the Russians on
the agenda.
Another meeting was set for to-
day at 3 p.m. (8 a.m. CST), when
France and Syria have asked for
the floor.
* * *
THERE WAS NO hint when the
vote would come. Vishinsky said
"we shall not be parties to such
violations" of the U.N. charter but
he gave no indication whether he
would walk out or stay to fight
if the Council decides to hear the
case.
Usually reliable United Na-
tions sources said top-flight U.
N. leaders-probably Secretary
General Trygve Lie and Dr.
Herbert Evatt, Australian for-
eign minister and Assembly
president-intend to offer to
mediate the Berlin dispute.
While the Security Council ar-
gued whether even to discuss the
case, Secretary of State George C.
Marshall, French foreign minister
Robert Schuman and British for-
eign secretary Ernest Bevin talked
about the Kremlin's demand-de-
livered in notes to the Western
Powers - that the four-nation
council of foreign ministers take
up the whole German issue. They
adjourned after two hours with-
out issuing a communique.
Police Capture
37 in Gaming
Raid on Farm
Washtenaw sheriff's officers
and state police captured 37 men
in a gambling raid on a farm near
Chelsea about 3 p.m. Sunday.
The raid broke up a "stag party"
allegedly given by the drill team
of the local Eagles lodge. Officers
of the lodge denied any knowledge
of the party and said the Eagles'
drill team might have given the
affair without the knowledge of
the other lodge members.
About $600 in cash was seized
by the 25 police, as well as six slot
machines and a roulette wheel.
Officers said this equipment and
a poker game were in progress
when they surrounded the alleged
gamblers in a woodlot on the
farm.A
Six men are in jail charged with
operating and maintaining a gam-
bling establishment. The other 31
were released on $50 bond, and or-
dered to appear in Municipal
Court.

MCAF Starts
Investigation
Of OlivetCase
The Michigan Committee for
Academic Freedom Sunday
launched a full-scale investigation
of the firing to Prof. and Mrs. T.
Barton Akeley, at Olivet College.
After hearing a report from Dr.
Alfred McClung Lee, chairman of
the Wayne University sociology
department and representative of
the American Civil Liberties Un-
ion, the MCAF executive council
moved to appoint a committee of
educators and ministers to probe
the case.
* *
DR. LEE commented that "fac-
ulty tenure' was the basic issue at
stake. He had returned from a
survey of the Olivet scene.
The executive board also ap-
proved the action of NSA in pro-
posing a public meeting in Ann
Arbor at which Prof. Akeley,
Olivet president Aubrey L. Ashby
and Olivet students would express
their views.
MEANWHILE THE situation on
Olivet campus remained quiet as
ten students continued a policy
of holding-out, each on a "per-
sonal basis." None of them now
reside in College dwellings. Those
that did, left voluntarily.
Members of the Student Action
Committee still holding out lev-
elled charges concerning reasons
for the firing of two Action Com-
mittee members who finally en-
rolled. The pair were employed
by a concessionaire who operates
the College's dining rooms, until
their dismissal two days ago.

IQ MIGHT TUMBLE:
Lower Birth-rate of College
Graduates Worries Experts
By JANET WATTS
College graduates are having fewer children these days.
And population experts are worried about it.
This lower birth rate might have a definite effect on the na-
tional I.Q. the Population Reference Bureau has declared in its annual
survey of the subject.
DR. HORACE M. Miner, University professor of sociology, ad-
mitted that the decrease in the number of children might mean a low-
ering of the national IQ, but stated that the change would be relatively
insignificant.
"College graduates should have as many children as is practi-
cally possible,"he said.
He declared, however, "More intellectual potential is being wasted
through non-training of persons with high IQ's than is being lost by
