LEGISLATURE EXPLAINED See Page 4 , ri x Duati4 COOL RAIN Latest Deadline in the State VOL. LIX, No. 19 ANN ARBOR, MICIHOAN, TUESDAY, OTOBER 11, 1948 PRICE FIVE CENTS Indians Take Worl Series with'4-3 Victory * * * * Fraternities Pledge 535 New Men UN 'Neutrals' Near Failure In Mediation Western Powers Firm on Demands PAPEIS - (/P) - Desperate at- tempts by "neutral" nations in the United Nations Security Council to mediate the Berlin crisis appar- ently were stalled. Spokesmen for the United States, Britain and France de- clared that the Western Powers are standing firm on their demand that the Soviet blockade be lifted. The three powers were reported to feel that there had been enough time for mediation and the Coun- cil should go ahead with meetings. ARGENTINE foreign Minister Juan A. Bramuglia talked private- ly again with Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky. Informed sources said the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minis- ter told him that no answer had been received from the Kremlin on mediation efforts. Western Power spokesmen said in the absence of new Soviet proposals they assumed Moscow still insists that the Berlin case must go to the four-power coun- cil of foreign ministers packaged with the whole German problem. The spokesmen repeated that "the blockade must be lifted be- fore we go to the council of foreign ministers.". One high diplomatic source said the attitude of the United States has toughened in the last two days. * * * AFTER MEETING with Vish- insky, Bramuglia was reported to have dined with John Foster Dulles, U.S. delegate and foreign affairs adviser to Gov. Dewey. A high informant said Dr. Philip C. Jessup, United States Security Council deputy dele- gate, told Bramuglia at a week- end conference that the U.S. ap- preciated his efforts but that the Argentine 'did not understand the Russian minds This inform- ant quoted Jessup as saying Americans believed any negotia- tions would be fruitless. Bramuglia was represented as feeling that a tougher American attitude sprang from the disclo- sure that President Truman planned to send Chief Justice Vin- son to Moscow and the cancella- tions of the plan after talks with Secretary of State Marshall, IN THE FACE of the apparent deadlock, the Security Council is expected to meet Wednesday or Thursday to go over the Berlin situation and perhaps open full- scale debate. Only the Western Powers have spoken so far, accus- ing the Soviet Union of threaten- ing world peace. Russia is boycott- ing the discussions. Berlin occupied the major share of attention in UN halls but arms reduction and Pales- tine came up. Britain put a resolution before the Assembly's political committee which would blame Russia for lack of agreement on slashing arma- ments. Last week Vishinsky ac- cused the Western Powers of blocking disarmament plans for the last 20 years. THE SOVIET Ukraine, Yugo- slavia and Czechoslovakia support- ed Russia in today's debate. El Salvador, Canada, China and France spoke in opposition. On Palestine the British were reported desirous of having a meeting of the Security Council on Holy Land problems. It was said that they especially wanted to know what has been done about apprehending the assassins of Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN mediator who was slain in the Jewish section of Jerusalem. Ypsi Dorm Burns ACCUSED BY REDS: Magidoff To Tell Trials And Problems in Russia Oratorical Lecture Series officials have Russia to thank for the appearance of Robert Magidoff as guest lecturer tonight. Magidoff, who will speak at 8:30 p.m. in Hill Auditorium, was ousted on suspicion of espionage after twelve years, in Russia as an American correspondent, lecture officials explained. * *'* * MAGIDOFF CONTENDS that the Russians have a propaganda plan designed to make the Russian people believe that all foreigners are spies.

Dr. Edwin Maise, of the mathe- matics department, moderated the discussion in which the attacks on scientists such as Dr. Condon were debated. FORMULATING a letter to President Truman, Tom Dewey, Rep. Parnell Thomas, Senator Hickenlooper and David Lilienthal, the scientists pointed up "errors" in the government loyalty checks. They said that as a result of recent events, working for the government has become unpop- ular because of fear of a black mark on one's reputation. They suggested that hearings should be held privately, and that reputations should be protected as much as possible.j Dr. Maise quoted Lilienthal and Truman in speeches against un- necessary probes of the govern- ment's scientists and said that a poll of scientists who developed the atom bomb showed that 75 per cent have declined or are re- luctant to accept government em- ployment. sian citizen, who charged him and his publisher with espion- age. However, no official investiga- tion followed the charges. Instead of a large trial with much pub- licity, which would undoubtedly be fitting to a spy, Magidoff and his wife were allowed to leave the country. Magidoff points to this fact as evidence of his innocence. * * * IN HIS LECTURE "Why I was Expelled from the Soviet Union," Magidoff tells of conditions in Russia today. He will also make some observations about Russian moves in the field of international relations. Russian-born, Magidoff came to this country when a boy, be- came a citizen, and after attend- ing the University of Wisconsin, returned to Russia to work as a correspondent. His voice should be familiar to many for he cov- ered the Russian front for NBC in World War II. Master of ceremonies tonight will be Prof. G. R. Garrison of the Speech and Radio Department. Tickets for the lecture are on sale today at the Hill Auditorium box office from 10-1 and 2-5 daily. Season tickets for the complete lecture course will be available through Oct. 12. AYC Deleurates, To BeElected Emergency Meeting ScheduledThursday As a continuation of the Oct. 7 meeting, the campus chapter of AVC will hold an emergency meet- ing at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Union to elect delegates to next month's national AVC convention in Cleveland. Acting chairman Ev Bovard de- clared that although there may be charges of irregularities in the election of delegates, those elected will represent the true choice of ,the membership. He said that he will certify those chosen at the meeting. In addition to the election of delegates the agenda includes ac- tion to be taken on a plan to insti- tute the Hare System of propor- tional representation in the selec- tion of delegates; and nominations for local chapter offices for an Oct. 2.1 election.

OKLAHOMA CITY-Admission of a Negro graduate student to the University of Oklahoma was ordered by the University of Ok- lahoma Board of Regents. The regents directed Dr. George L.

HUNTLEY, only professor present at the conference, was one of a group of three round-table speakers which included Presi- dent Robert L. Stearns of the Uni- versity of Colorado and Mrs. Mar- jorie Dawson of the movie indus- try. Dr. Huntley discussed the spiritual crisis of our times. He spoke of our search for spiritual security, and said that it is the duty of state universities to 'offer courses in religion-aca- demically sound courses, free of political prohibitions---to help satisfy this need. He suggested courses about re- ligion, distinguishing them from courses in religion in that they do not have conversion as an objec- tive. * * * "THE PSYCHOLOGY depart- ment, for instance," Huntley said after his return to Ann Arbor "could give a course in the psy- chology of religion. The same could be done in the language, his- tory, and other departments. A course in the literature of the Bi- ble, now offered at the Univer- -sity, is in line with this policy.' Irresident Stea(rns discussed portions of a recently-complet- ed report dealing with an evi- dent moral decline in the coun- try's student population. The report indicates an increase in cheating and stealing among students. BILLY SOUTHWORTH LOU BOUDREAU . . . tough fight . . . victory smile RELIGIOUS CLASSES: Student Who Loses God Never Had HimMM-Huntley t U> Bearden Salvages Victory for Tribe Cleveland Staves Off Boston Rally To Win 1948 World Championship BOSTON-(AP)-Thanks to stout-hearted relief pitch- ing by Gene Bearden in the tense closing minutes of play, the Cleveland Indians staggered through to a 4-3 victory over the Boston Braves in the sixth and deciding game of the World Series. In winning its first championship in 28 years, the Tribe also was the beneficiary of a lucky double play in the ninth whch probably saved Bearden from serious trouble. One moment the crowd of 40,103 was sitting on the edge of the seats, expectant of a rally that would square the series at three games apiece, and carry the play-off right down to a seventh contest tomorrow. The next moment it was all over for the Boston fans but for the sad filing through the exits, and the Indians were boisterously pounding Bearden across the back and half-carrying him in tri- umph off the field. Eddie Stanky, a steady little character right through the series, opened the ninth by drawing a walk as the crowd raved. Connie Ryan ran for him. Then came the heartbreaker. Sibby Sisti went in to pinch- hit for Warren Spahn, who had done a brilliant piece of relief chunk- ing for two innings, and attempted to sacrifice Ryan to second with the tying run. INSTEAD, HE BUNTED under Bearden's pitch and lofted the ball straight up, directly in front of the plate. Catcher Jim Hegan snared the horsehide and fired it to Joe Gordon. The Braves were dead Injuns. Tommy Holmes, hero of Bos- ton's victory in the opening game, lined out to Bob Kennedy In left field to end the contest and make all Cleveland happy. . Only the previous inning, the eighth, the Braves brought the customers to their feet by slugging Bob Lemon, Cleveland's starting chunker, from the hill and scoring twice to draw within a run of the Indians. * * * * WHEN BEARDEN inherited the ugly situation, the bases were loaded with Braves and only one was out. Two Bostons scored on a long fly to center by Clint Conatser and Phil Masi's ringing double off the left field wall. Both Conatser and Masi were pinchhitters. But that was all as the great southpaw bore down to get Mike McCormick on an infield roller. Cleveland scored its first three runs off Bill Voiselle, one of them a home run over the left field wall by Joe Gordon in the sixth. Spahn, doing his second relief chore in as many days, gave up the last Indian marker in the eighth, before he got his bearings. It proved, of course, to be the winning run of the series.

"Still," he promises, "it will have some of the traditional Garg humor." Businessman Cites Problems* "The field of business manage- ment is no place for the meek or the nervous of mind today," said Dr. Wendell G. Wilcox in an ad- dress before the economics club last night. In support of this statement, Dr. Wilcox, speaking from long ex- perience as an economist, business executive and chemical engineer, went on to describe some of the confusion which has resulted from a recent Supreme Court decision on price discrimination. "Although this decision would seem to render illegal certain pric- ing techniques, the exact nature of what may be termed 'illegal prac-. tices' has not been determined," Dr. Wilcox said. "It is possible to receive widely divergent opinions from top legal consultants on the same case," he commented. Yom Kippur Services to commemorate Yom In the Union there is strength!
