Soviet Currency
PARIS-WP)-Russia was asked
in a resolution by the six neutrals
of the Security Council today to
lift immediately the Berlin block-
ade as part of an East-West settle-
ment in Germany.
The Big Four Powers were asked
in the same resolution to imple-
ment by Nov. 20 their Moscov
agreement to introduce the Soviet
Zone mark under four-power con-
trol as the sole currency of Berlin
x * *
THE RESOLUTION also pro-
vided for the convening of a Four-
Power Foreign Ministers Council
within 10 days after the currenc
settlement to reopen negotiations
on German problems as a whole
and for lifting of transport and
trade restrictions to and from the
Soviet Zone.
Argentine Foreign Minister
Juan A. Bramuglia presented the
six-nation resolution to the
council. He adjourned the meet-
ing before the Big Four stated
their views, setting the next ses-
sion for Monday. A vote may
come then.
An authoritative source said
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky asked for the
delay. U.N. officials speculated
that he wanted time to get Mos-
cow's reaction to the formal res-
olution.-
U.S. DEPUTY Delegate Philip C.
Jessup refused to commit his'
country but told a reporter that
"in general we think that it (the
resolution) is along the right line."
A British spokesman said his dele-
gation regarded the resolution as
a satisfactory basis for settlement.
Vishinsky miaintained his boy-
cott of the debate, but scribbled
notes furiously during the tense
meeting.
The British spokesman said the
timing mentioned in the resolu-
tion-immediate lifting of the
blockade and an immediate meet-
ing of the four military governors
of Germany to arrange for solu-
tion of the currency question-
seemed acceptable.
French Send
Army To End
Stike Battle
PARIS--(')-The French cabi-
net decided in an emergency ses-
sion to call up the 1948 class of
soldiers who already had been dis-
charged, and Gendarme reservists
to deal with flaring violence in the
18-day coal strike.
At least two miners were killed
ii the first outbreaks of gunfire
between strikers and law enforce-
ment forces today, and the list of
injured in several days of clashes
mounted to 200.
THE CABINET also ordered
troops to use their arms in de-
fending themselves against at-
tacks, and empowered district
governors to ban any meetings.
There was no immediate esti-
mate on the number of soldiers
and gendarmes involved in the
call-up.
The Interior ministry said the
two miners were killed at Firminy,
five miles southwest of St. Eti-
enne, when miners counterattack-
ed the police. Thirty other per-
sons were injured.
TIIERE ALSO were reports of
shootings at three other mines,
two in the St. Etienne area and
at Montceau-Les-Mines, about 100
miles to the north.
The ministry said militarized
police fired only after being fired
uptyn in compliance with strict
orders. An eyewitness said at
least 27 miners were injured,
seven seriously.
Police were reported to have
opened fire with submachine guns
on 1,500 attacking strikers, at
Cambefort mine near Firminy.

Det4roit I..Unions Plan
WE S Alternative
By PHIL DAWSON
The CIO and AFL will carry on a joint workers' education pro-
gram of their own if the University doesn't restore the Workers' Edu-
cational Service, to its previous status, Barney Hopkins, secretary-
treasurer of the Michigan CIO Council, told The Daily last night.
He blasted the Board of Regents' decision of a week ago to
place the courses under general Extension Service supervision and
do away with the job of Arthur A. Elder, former director of the pro-
gram.
HOPKINS SAID THE unions "are not interested in a workers"
education program run by General Motors."
This was in reference to GM employe Adam K. Stricker's
charge last May that the courses were tinged with "Marxism."
The attack resulted in suspension of the program and the present
reorganization which shows "complete submergence of . . . the Board

THREAT TO AMERICANS:
Herald Tribune F orum
By JIARRIETT FRIED IAN
(EDITOR's NOTE: This is 11w 1irst in a ..i.,s if: arljeips re'ortinq the
discussions at the 17th annual New York ierald Tribunie Forunm held Oct. 18
to 20 in New York.)
Civil Liberties are in danger of being sacrificed to the needs of
a national preparedness program.
That threat to American rights was declared by speakers during
ane of four sessions on "Our Imperiled Resources," general subject
of the New York Herald Tribune Forum.
INTRODUCING THE TOPIC, 'Balancin -Security and Freedom,"
Prof. Harold D. Lasswell, professor of Law, Yale University warned
that the military program which we are starting to prevent dictation
from abroad contains within it seeds of dangrr which might unwit-
tingly result in the very garrison-police state which the U.S. wants
to avoid.
Atomic scientist Philip M. Morse, physics professor, Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, indicated that scientific research
progress is already hampered by restrictio"s.
He proposed that only the most vital technical points of actual
atom bomb construction be labelled secret. Other information should
WES Program
Will Not Alter
All Courses
Reorganization of the University
workers' education program does
not mean all the courses will be
changed, according to Everett J.
Soop, who as director of the Ex-
tension Service is now in charge
of the program.
"Probably one of the first ac-
tions" to be undertaken by Soop
and the Extension Service execu-
tive committee will be channeling
"approval of courses and instrue-
tors through the same procedure
that is followed in all other exten-
sion courses," he said in an inter-
view yesterday.
This involves approval by a spe-
cific department of proposed
courses in its field. For example,
an economics course would be re-
ferred to the economics depart-
ments here for approval of its con-
tent.
T he Extension Service then rec-
ommends an instructor to Provost
James P. Adams for appointment
and the Board of Regents takes
final action, Scep explained.
"All extension classes are taught
by regular members of the faculty
or persons who have been ap-
proved in this way," he pointed
out.
German eds
ebate Draft
Of constitution
SE Levels Attack
On W stern Chlarter
BERLIN - UP, - The "German
Peoples Council" debated with
fanfare the final draft of a com-
munistic constitution "for all Ger-
many"
But the council spent most of
the first day's session attacking
the constitution now being writ-
ten at Bonn for the three west-
ern zones of Germany.
Otto Grotewohl, co-chairman of
the Soviet-sponsored social unity
party (SED>, charged tha't the
Bonn constitution is designed by
the United States, Britain and
France "only to split Germany."
WITH NO apparent chance now
of the three Western Zones join-
ing the self-styled all-German
"overnment, the Communists are
expected to put their constitution
into effect soon in the Eastern
Zone of Germany. Apparently
patterned after the other so-called
people's democracies of Eastern
Europe, it could prove to be the
basis of a permanent east Ger-
man state unless some agree-
ment is reached to re-unite the
whole German nation.
In drafting the rival eomisitu-
tions, t w Comut niAts here and
the anti-Communists in Bonn
met under the same flag-the
black, gold and red of the pre-
Hitler Wimar repuobli.
The Communsts called the state
which their constitution provides
a "German Democratic Repub-
lie." The American military gov-
ernment warned, however, that it
would be a democracy in name
only "like those which today op-
Reuther, educational director of
the UAW-CIO.
IMMEDIATE organization of a
separate workers' education pro-
gram would be "premature" ac-
cording to former director Elder.
jHe said:
"Workers already support a
lot of things by paying high con-
sumers' prices . . . I think we
have enough decent people left
in Michigan to insist on "some
modification of the Univer-
sity's stand.
The University should have
raised the whole question "of
whether to continue the workers'
program with the State, but they
shut it down with no hearing,"
Elder said.
* * *
HOPKINS also pointed out that
Thursday's meeting of the Work-
ers' Educational Service's six-
member advisory committee was
the only one "since January, 1947."
A meeting was finally called
Thursday, he said, not to dis-
cuss criticisms or possible
changes in the program but
,merely to-inform the members"
of the reorganization voted by
the Regents a week ago.
Hopkins was present at the
meeting as well as Robert Scott,
secretary-treasurer of the Mich-
igan Federation of Labor (AFL),
John Reid, MFL legislative repre-
sentative, and Bill Kemsley, di-
rector of the state CIO education
department.
', * *
HOPKINS SAID the only criti-
cism of the former workers' edu-
cation program he had heard was
Stricker's blast that the two in-
dustrial economics lectures he at-
tended were biased in favor of
"the Marxist idea of classeco-
nomics."
In Thursday's meeting with Uni-
versity officials, Hopkins "left it
up to them to advise the Regents
of our position."
Stress Arab,
UN Prblem
To the Arab world Palestine is,
unfortunately, the symbol of the
conflict between their own desire
for self-government and the con-
trol that foreign powers exercise
over their countries, according to
Dr. John S. Badeau.
This was brought out in a lec-
ture, "The UN Faces the Middle
Ebast," that Dr. Badeau, president
of the American University at
Cairo, gave last night in Rackham
Amphitheatre.
In addition to this problem of
attaining political self-control,
the Middle East has another basic
one in the low standard of living
of the area, Dr. Badeau said.
This results from poor agricul-
tural resources, lack of capital to
finance agriculture and industry,
growth in rate of population in-
crease, and social indifference to
conditions that lasted until very
recently.
I LOVE THEE-If Minnesota is 'up' today, it may be because of
the 'Little Brown Jug.' The 'Jug,' symbol of the intense rivalry
between Michigan and Minnesota since 1903, is carried to each
football game between the two teams, and placed on the sidelines
for the duration of the game. At the end of the game, the earth-
enware trophy, originally valued at $.35 is awarded to the winning
team. The -ht4stime Minnesota possessed the 'Jug' was in 1942
when they beat Michigan, 16-14.

The ultimate gcal of education
is to teach young people to deal
reflectively, humanely, and intel-
ligently with the problems facing
the communities and the nation,
according to Dr. James McBurney,

Speaking at a luncheon of the
Michigan Association of Junior
Colleges, he said that the central
job of all teachers is to provide
students with the tools with*which
to solve these problems.
