Displaced Students
To Be Supported,
By CampusGroups
Six displaced students from Germany will receive tuition schol-
arships to the University for the spring semester.
As the first step in a project to help displaced students resume
their studies, campus groups will take the responsibility of providing
room and board and general expenses for the six students.
A NEW STUDENT organization will serve as the central com-
mittee to facilitate the displaced students' admission and housing, and
to direct individual group action. An open meeting for students and
organizations interested in participating in the project will be held
Wednesday, Sept. 27.
The six displaced students are among several hundred whom
William H. Sudduth, former UNRRA official, is placing in Amer-
ican colleges. He visited here two weeks ago to explain the dis-

Quartet of Nation's Top Linebackers
Expected To Add Defensive Thrills
By MURRAY GRANT
(Daily Sports Editor)
In what promises to be the game of the day, Michigan meets the
undefeated Northwestern Wildcats this afternoon at the Michigan
Stadium in a knock-down, drag-out struggle that may well decide this
year's Big Nine champion.
At the start of the season, Michigan was co-favorite for the title
along with Purdue and Minnesota, and Northwestern was considered
the darkhorse candidate.

Truce Delays
Phone Strike
Until Tuesday
Wage Arbitration
Still in Process
A four-day truce has been called
in the telephone strikes which shut
down long-distance calls from
Ann Arbor and 16 other Michigan
towns.
The truce came as a result of
an emergency conference with the
telephone company and union
leaders called by Gov. Kim Sigler
at Detroit yesterday.
LOCAL OPERATORS had called
off their picketing at midnight
Wednesday, and returned to work
on their regular shifts yesterday.
No disciplinary action has
been taken against any of the
strikers, according to Nicholas
J. Prakken, manager of the Ann
Arbor district.
Although Gov. Sigler said that
he does ,not want to "force either
party into a corner," the CWA of-
ficials indicated they would like
the board's recommendations to be
final and binding.

MEANWHILE, the City of De-
troit contested Michigan Bell's
plans to put higher rates into ef-
fect and asked the State Supreme
Court to block an $7,217,000 annual
rate boost.
The telephone company had
asked for the rate increase to meet
increased labor costs.
AVC Protests
SpeakersBan
Hit Interpretation of
RegentsPolitical Rule
The local AVC last night
unanimously protested the inter-
pretation of the Regents' political
ban which construed the informal
political discussions on the Diag-
onal to constitute a political rally.
Previously the chapter had
elected Nicholas Dancy, Max
Dean, Bill Young, Ed Tunin, Al
Milstein and Bill Holston as
delegates to the organization's
national convention.
Nominations for local chapter
offices were held. Nominees for
chairman include: John Sloss,
Bill Holsten and Art Moskoff.
Those nominated for vice-chair-
man were Herbert Aronson and
Marvin Gladstone.
The chapter also voted to spon-
sor a weekend program of enter-
tainment for disabled veterans
from Percy Jones Hospital and to
continue collection of football
tickets for patients at the Veter-
ans Readjustment Center, follow-
ing clarification of the current
ticket ruling.

placed student problem to Uni-
versity officials and students.
War-time UNRRA director of
displaced students at Heidelberg
University, Sudduth "feels per-
sonally responsible for the welfare
of these young people." The stu-
dents were stranded after the dis-
solution of UNRRA in 1945.
SUDDUTH has been bringing
the students to his apartment in
New York, from which they have
been placed in various colleges.
Through his efforts, transportation
has been provided for the dis-
placed students from Germany to
New York.
They are brought into this
country under the Displaced Per-
sons Act, which requires clearing
of the persons involved by both
the State and War Departments.
In addition, rigid health require-
ments must be passed.
Following Sudduth's visit here,
Dean of Students Erich A. Wal-
ter invited a planning committee
to review the problem.
Representatives from the Asso-
ciation of Independent Men, As-
sembly, the Inter -Fraternity
Council, Panhellenic Ass'ociation,
the Student Legislature, the Inter-
Cooperative Council and the Stu-
dent Religious Association have
met with Dean Walter and Dean
Mary Bromage to work out the
initial plans for bringing dis-
placed students here.
* * *
THE COMMITTEE decided to
limit the project to six displaced
students for next semester, while
the new organization was being
put into operation.
Foreign student tuition scholar-
ships for this number were secured
for the spring term through the
Administration. At present, 42 for-
eign students hold these scholar-
ships, provided from funds allot-
ted by the Regents.
The central organization for
the project will collect funds for
the transportation of the stu-
dents from New York, as well as
for their general support whilea
at the University.I
In addition, the new group will

BERLIN, - (A) - The United
States and Britain combined their
airlift task forces under American
command today while Russian
guns rumbled in war practice
within earshot of Berlin.
U. S. Air Force headquarters at
Wiesbaden announced the sign-
ingof an agreement to put all air-
life operations under the com-
mand of Maj. Gen. William A.
Tunner who flew war supplies over
the Himalayan "hump" from
Burma to China.
* * *
THE EFFORT to feed Berlin
henceforth will be known as the
"combined airlift tack force." The
agreement was signed by Lt. Gen.
Curtis E. Lemay, U. S. Air Force
Commander in Europe, and air
marshal Sir Arthur P. M. Saun-
ders, commander in chief of Brit-
ish Air Forces in Germany.
Tunner, who c'ommands
American airlift planes, will
have operational but not admin-
istrative control of the British
airlift. He will have headquar-
ters in Wiesbaden. His British
deputy, Air Commodore J. W. F.
Merer, will have a base at
Buckeberg in the British zone.
The U. S. Air Force said the
merger was intended to coordinate
American and British resources so
as to put them to more efficient
use.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American
military governor, commented
that the team-up was merely his-
tory repeating itself. He said he
did not doubt it would work har-
moniously because "we learned to
work so closely with the British
during the war."

A BRITISH officer at Gatow
airport on the western outskirts of
Berlin said he believed the Russian
gunfire came from tanks engaging
in maneuvers and was about three
miles away. The cannon shots
shook windows at the airport.

that went most of the field for a Northwestern touchdown-but
Kempthorn was out with an injury that afternoon.

Berlin Debate
Neutrals Accused
Of 'Devious Moives'
PARIS_-(P)--Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky broke Russia's silence in the
Security Council's Berlin debate
-but only to slam the door in the
face of six neutral countries press-
ing fcr an East-West compromise.
Rising dramatically in a tense
council meeting, Vishinskl ac-
cused the neutrals of maneuvering
to trap Russia into taking part in
the debate by inviting him to an-,
swer questions. "It is naive to be-
liever that the Soviet Union will
swallow this bait," he said. "No,
gentlemen, we will not."
VrSFl NSKY repeated the R ,-
sian argunent that the council
had no business discussing Ber-
lin. Then he smiled at his aides,
sat down and resumed doodling -
his principal pastime during the
verbal boycott.
The neutral delegates bris-
tled. Council President Juan
A. Bramuglia of Argentina
tossed aside diplomatic niceties
and with clenched firsts told
Vishinsky that he could not ac-
cuse the neutrals of double-
crossing and "devious motives."
Vishinsky fidgeted. Later he said
he was not apologizing but had
not meant to reflect on the char-
acter of any delegate.
THE OTHER neutral countries
-Canada, China, Colombia, Syria
and Belgium-said they fully sup-
ported Bramuglia, who had acted
as their spokesmen in contacting
Russia and the Western Powers in
mediation efforts. A British
spokesman said Vishinsky's speech
slammed the door on mediation.
After the bitter exchanges, the
UNVEILED for the rally, the
1920 American LaFrance firetruck
roared onto Ferry Field taking the
spotlight. Eclipsed were half a
dozen prominent speakers and
earlier attempts by fraternities
and dorm houses to monopolize
the attention of thousands of
marchers out to sear their lungs
for the Maize and Blue.
Undaunted by the showers of
"Cool Water" from the 'firemen'
who continued to squirt all the
scenery except the blazing em-
bers that signified Michigan's
grim determination -to conquer
everything from NU to Podunk-
Normal, a mile of snake-dancing
scholars crashed past the tradi-
tion of "No women through the
front door of the Union."
INSPIRATION for their dance
which tied up State St. traffic,
was a galaxy of rah-rah speakers
including H. O. "Fritz" Crisler;
Alumni Bob Morgan; Larry Rob-
inson, of the New York World-
Telegram; and WJR sportsters
Harry Wismer, Van Patrick and
Charlie Parks.
Crisler-still a symbol of Wol-
verine greatness in the eyes of all
who attended-commented that
we would "Tell them how nice it
is in Pasadena." He called North-
western the toughest team Michi-
gan has run up against since Army
two years ago and said that under
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan the
Wolverines "are in the best
hands.,"
* * *
COMPETING for top rating as
having the most 'Maize and Blue
Bleod' were courageous members
of the Michigan Marching Band
who gallantly marched through
burning cotton flares to the tune
of "Varsity." Even then their
thunder was stolen by six Phi
Gamma Delt men equipped with
enough brass and drum to Pied
Pipe rallying students half-a-
block toward Ferry Field before
the rally began,
But to one Wolverine Alumni,
it was "nothing, at all. You should
have seen us in '05!"
ID Required
With Student
Ducat Today
'U' Takes Action
To FoilScalpers
For the first time in several
years students attending today's
gridiron clash in ' the Michigan
Stadium will be asked to present
University identification cards at
the gates.
Announcement of this new rul-
ing was made late this week by
Ticket Manager Don Weir. He said
the move was forced because of
widespread scalping of student
tickets.
* * *
THE STUDENT tickets are not
transferrable. But Weir said that
an investigation had revealed post-
ed lists of students willing to sell
their tickets in residence halls and
other student quarters.
Some resales of student tick-
ets had been reported in recent
years. Intense interest generated
by the Northwestern-Michigan
football clash this week aggra-
vated the problem and brought
the crack-down.
Since the announcement was
made the University Ticket Office
has been deluged with phone calls
requesting clarification of the rule.
Persons attending today's
Michigan-Northwestern on stu-
dent tickets will be asked to
show either:
1-University ID card
2--Athletic coupon book
3-Cashier's receipt.
Vlany callers said they had made
provisions for non-student friends
from out of town to attend the
game using student tickets and
asked that the rule be waived.
'" * * W
Weir told The Daily that no
exceptions can be made to the
rule. Extra men have been add-
ed to the ticket-taking crew to
check the student ID cards. Du-
cats of non-students attempting
to enter the stadium with stu-
dent tickets will be confiscated
for the remainder of the season.
Wives of students will be asked
to present athletic coupon books.
Students who have not yet re-
ceived ID cards from the Univer-
sity will be admitted upon presen-
tation of a cashier's receipt.
BUT PURDUE HAS failed miserably and Minnesota dropped a
close one to the Wildcats in their battle last week. Northwestern, un-
der Bob Voigts, has swept through three games and is the most
serious threat to Michigan's retaining her crown.
Voigts has done an amazing job with his team. He has taken
the same group of players that finished in eighth place in the
Conference last year and transformed them into a team that
ranks third in the country.
He's taken two excellent backs in Frank Aschenbrenner and Art
Murakowski and surrounded them with four others of almost equal
ability and put in front of them a line that will match any in the
Big Nine, if not in the country.
The youthful mentor has taken a fair quarterback, Don Burson,
and made him into an excellent signal caller and the passer that is
leading the Conference with 15 completions in 29 attempts.

HIS OTHER halfback post is
filled very ably by Tom Worth-
ington, a 185-pounder, Who broke
Purdue's heart with his intercep-
tions of the DeMoss' passes in the
last quarter.
To spell this foursome, Voigts
has Gasper Perricone, a full-
back who has averaged 7.8 yards
at a crack. He's lugged the ball
15 times in two games for 117
yards, which is really carying
the mail.
Ed Tunnicliff, who relieves
Worthington has been sidelined
for the last ten days and may not
see action in today's tilt.

ALEX SARKISIAN, outstand-
ing lineman last week, is favored
alorkg with Penn's Chuck Bednarik
and Michigan's Dan Dworsky to
capture an All-American berth.
He's a 60-minute performer who
acts as center in the T formation
offense the Wildcats use.
But his major worth is evi-
denced by his defensive play. He
teams with George Sundheim or
Ray Wietecha to back up the
line, and thus far they have
spelled disaster to anyone that
comes their way.
Flanking Sarkisian are Fatso
Day and Eddie Nemeth at the
guards; Rudy Cernoch and Steve
Sawle at tackle; and Chuck Hag-
man and Don Stonesifer on the
ends. All but Cernoch were mem-
bers of last year's team that scored
more often than any other foe the
champions of last year faced.

INDIANAPOLIS-(/fr--President
Truman said Republican firemen
have been too busy playing "polit-
ical checkers" to put out the
threatening flame of inflation.
And on improving the Social
Security system, Mr. Truman ac-
cused the GOP of Congressional
arson.
"They struck nearly a million
Americans off the Social Security
rolls; and their fire chief now
says he is proud of them."
There's also been a lot of "non-
sense" about health insurance, he
said. There has been a well-or-
ganized campaign, to discredit it
and to confuse the issues, he add-
ed.
The health program he has
proposed to Congress, he said, is
"100 per cent American," that it is
a way to collect the cost of doc-
toring on a pay-as-you-go basis.
ST. PAUL, Minn.-( --Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, after accusing
the Truman Administration of
"making trades with the forces
of aggression," called for a "vital,
realistic" foreign policy.
The Republican candidate for
President also declared the Dem-
ocrats had made "tremendous con-
cessions" to those "forces" to "ap-
pease millions of people all over
this world."
At Owatonna, where a police-
estimated crowd of 3,000 persons
welcomed him, Dewey pledged to:
"Bring to our government a new
sense of competence and vigor and
integrity, to bring to it a con-
sistent policy which will not do
as this Administration has done
over the years-by wobbling from
side to side, making trades behind
its hand with the forces of aggres-
sion-making tremendous conces-
sions to them."
