Daily TODAY THE DAILY swings wide the doors of the Student Publications Building on Maynard Street for all stu- dents interested in joining its news, sports, womens or photographic staffs. Beginning at 4 p.m. a general tryout meeting will be held and The Daily in- vites any eligible student who is at least a second semester freshman to attend. Previous newspaper experience, is un- necessary-the only qualification is a desire to keep abreast of what's happen- ing on campus and throughout the world. DOWN THROUGH its 58-year-old his- tory, The Daily has counted on the bi- annual influx of new blood for its exist- ence. In two or three years some of the students who attend this first tryout meeting will be holding down the Senior Editors' positions on the paper. In the past, positions on The Daily have served as a springboard into the Fourth Estate for many former staff- ers. We now number among our alumni some of the top newsmen and editors throughout the nation. Here on the campus The Daily counts ~taffs h on tryouts for its future newsgathering staff and editorial writers. Immediately upon joining the tryout staff students are urged to write editorials. Since every stu- dent is eligible to write for The Daily, a large and representative number of try- outs is hoped for to make The Daily a truly student newspaper reflecting every viewpoint. ON THE NEWS SIDE, prospective staff members are put through a step by step training program under the supervision of Senior Editors. During the first semes- ter tryouts are asked to work once a week on the news desk, writing headlines and reading proof. The folloying two semesters staff members are assigned regular "beats" as news-gathering sources for stories. The next step comes with night editor- ship or assistant--paid positions. From the crew of night editors six Senior Ed- itors are chosen to oversee all phases of the paper. An even greater accent will be placed on pictures this year, and many good ssue Call for Student ournalists photographers are needed. A new system whereby photographers may submit news and campus human interest pictures on their own initiative as well as through regular assignment will make room for many more photographers on the staff.

LIX, No. 2 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPT .22, 1948 PRICE FIVE CENTS Olivet Students Still Strike; Other Schools Lend Support By CRAIG WILSON Students at Olivet College yesterday continued to protest the dismissal of two faculty members by refusing to register before a 4 p.m. deadline. Numbering more than ninety, the group stubbornly held its ground in face of threats by college President Aubrey L. Ashby, and received support on the University campus, at Michigan State College and at Albion College. UNDER THE LEADERSHIP of Al Millstein and Max Dean,, local Wallace Progressives planned a car-load of supporters to leave at 1 p.m. today from the Union. They also scheduled more groups to leave as soon as transportation becomes available. In the meantime, they settled for a letter and telegram campaign directed at the trustees of Olivet College protesting the summary dismissal of T. Barton Akeley, professor of political science, and his wife, Margaret, college librarian. They also referred the situation to their national headquarters for action. BESIDES SEVENTY-FIVE Olivet student picketers who continued the fourth day of demonstrations before the college's administration building yesterday, 10 students, a faculty member from MSC and supporters from Albion College spent the day in Olivet. However, with another crisis "impending," Jack Vanderlind, chairman of the Olivet Student Action Committee, called on students from other campuses to "hold themselves in reserve." He said that "there may well be another dismissal" of a faculty member who is supporting the student action. * * * * VANDERLIND HOPED for a united show of strength then with all groups participating. He called the outside groups the Student Action Committee's "ace-in-the-hole." He told The Daily that "either the fight would be won within two or three weeks or it would become a hopeless struggle." Vanderlind and his fellow-strikers today face. the full force of threats made earlier by college president Aubrey L. Ashby, who Monday night promised them denial of classroom facilities and withdrawal of scholarship and other financial benefits if they failed to register. PROF. AKELEY and his wife spent most of yesterday packing their belongings for possible eviction from their college-owned resi- dence. Deadline for their ouster had been set by college officials at Sept. 15. They were notified of the eviction August 28. (Rent control laws call for 60 days notice on eviction proceedings). Demands of the students now call for a complete reinstate- ment of the Akeleys and turning over the entire problem to an impartial agency for adjudication. President Ashby stated that "the student organization called the Student Action Committee is a rump organization which the Board of Trustees and administration has not recognized. They have been aided and abetted by certain members of the faculty and taught certain ideals which make this one method, the striking method, the only one."

Study Shows Record High of Home Owners Increase Reported By Survey Research More American families own their homes than ever before in history. Nearly forty-nine per cent of the nation's no-fam families were home owners at the begin- ning of this year, according to a report made by the University's Survey Research Center. * * * THE REPORT, made at the re- quest of the Federal Reserve Board, indicated that a total of 18,500,000 city and town families owned their own dwellings. The report did not include farm families because the pro- portion of home-owners among that group has traditionally been much higher than among city dwellers. Including those families still paying for their homes, the re- port did not indicate haw many have debt-free housing. AN ASSOCIATED PRESS an- alysis showed that the median rent paid by non-farm families at the beginning of this year was ap- proximately $30 a month-about 12 per cent as compared to the 25 per cent traditionally assigned for rent in the standard home budget. About 45 per cent of non-farm families - a total approximat- ing 17,000,000 - were renting their living quarters as 1948 be- gan. The remainder - about 2,000,000-were living rent free with some one else. The last of a series of five, the report is part of an ambitious sur- vey of consumer finances which has been conducted by the re- search center for the FRB, the central banking and credit organ of the national government. BASED ON STATISTICS based on family interviews from Maine to California, the report added that "the acute shortage of ren- tal units has no doubt forced many families to buy homes . . simply in order to obtain shelter." More than one quarter of all renting families had rent in- creases during 1947. There was no change for about 60 per cent and "a decline for a small group." U. S. Backs Bernadotte Palestine Plan; Hurricane Rips Across SouthFor eport Two Killed As Gale SweepsKeys Conmunications Cut, Crops Endangered MIAMI, Fla.-A)-A tempera- mental tropical hurricane battered the little town of Everglades with 100-mile winds tonight and left at least two dead in SouthaFlorida. Winds at Miami ranged up to hurricane force in gusts. The highest was 82 miles at the air- port. The storm, which reached a ve- locity of 160 miles in gusts at Key West, spread gales into Miami and hurricane winds that reached 75 miles an hour or more. FLORIDA'S multi-million dollar citrus crop was in the path of the storm which hit the mainland with full force near Everglades City, about 60 miles directly west of Miami. There was no immedi- ate word from that town, a fishing village. Communication lines to the Florida Keys were knocked out by the terrific wind. Navy radio messages reported roofs blown from a number of Key West houses, the sinking of 30 pri- vately owned boats and three feet of water flooding the east side of the island. ONLY TWO MINOR casualties were reported in Key West. The Navy said the highest winds of 160 miles an hour were recorded at Boca Chica. naval base, eight miles north of Key West. Some Miami streets were flooded by driving rain and bay water tossed into them by the high winds. Damage in the city was limited to palm trees, power lines, unprotected windows and billboards. The Red Cross sent an evacua- tion train to the Lake Okeechobee area to remove about 3,500 per- sons to safer areas. Shelters were prepared for the refugees at Se- bring,,Avon ark, and Lake Placid. The Student Book Exchange, located in Rm. 306, Michigan Union, will remain open from 1 to 5 p.m. daily through Friday this week.

BRUTAL SLAYING SOLVED: Apprehend Cab Driver's Murderers By BILL CUNNINGHAM Two Detroit area men, one an ex-convict and the other an es- capee from a juvenile detention home, will be arraigned this morning in Ann Arbor Municipal court on charges of first degree murder. The gun-toting pair are being held for the brutal slaying of Francis R. Andrews. The 27-year- old cab driver was slain early Monday on a side road near Willow Village, which houses more than 1,000 University students. An anonymous tip led to the arrest Tuesday morning in Dear- born. One of the men admitted to Washtenaw County Prosecutor Douglas K. Reading that they shot Andrews four times with a Ger- man Luger revolver as part of a robbery plan. THE TWO said they fled with- out taking a cent when nearby farmhouse lights frightened them from the murder scene. One of the most extensive man-hunts in Washtenaw County history began shortly after the fatal shooting Sunday. More than 50 police officers on foot, horseback and in airplanes took part in the search. The murder suspects are Wil-I liard Swarthout, 19, of Dearborn, and Kenneth Basha, 21, of the Norwayne housing project near' Detroit. ' * RECOUNTING their movements since Sunday night, the men told Reading they decided to hire a' cab, rob and tie the driver, and then steal the cab to "pull other stick-up jobs." The pair told Reading they hiredAndrews' cab in Dearborn and asked to go to Willow Vil- lage to see a relative. Andrews wheeled around when told he was to be robbed and Basha shot him twice in the back, Reading said. The County prosecutor said the pair then dragged the driver from the cab and fired twice more, this time into his chest. READING SAID the boys fled from the cab and the bullet- riddled body when suddenly frightened and crawled through cornfields until the all-night man- hunt was abandoned. Reading told The Daily after the Dearborn arrest Tuesday that the pair would face life imprisonment at hard labor if convicted of the murder charge. Basha, who admits doing the shooting, served a sentence for armed robbery in Ionia State Re- formatory and was dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army. SWARTHOUT, Basha's accom- plice, has a record of 25 escapes in five years from the Wayne County Training School and po- lice say he can barely read or write.

That was what he told an au. dience as his train stopped at, the station in American Fork, I Itah, a few miles out of Salt Lake City. Mr. Truman was leading up to a major speech here tonight at the Mormon Tabernacle, on irri- gation, reclamation and public power. Already, through the West, he has credited the Democrats with promoting development of that area and said the Republicans were bent on its' sabotage. At American Fork, the Presi- dent said the national income was $18,000,000,000 "and it's going to be bigger in 1948." Earlier the President said the West should be developed by "small businessmen" and "not mo- nopolies." Mr. Truman got a little behind schedule on a seven-stop speak- ing schedule in western Colorado and Central Utah. D~ewey . DEINVER -- (UP) - Gov. Thomas E. Dewey tonight called for a brand new approach in saving America's natural resources to re- place what he said was the Tru- m an administration's careless policies. The Repiblican candidate for resident promised if he goes to the White House he will set up an administration "which really believes in conservation and de- velopment of our country for the future." The New York governor, in an address prepared for delivery at the Denver auditorium, defended the record of the GOP controlled 80th Congress on reclamation ap- propriations. He struckback at President Truman's sharp criti- cism of the Republicans on that score without mentioning the President by name. He added: "That's why we need to replace with a brand new ap- proach and a comprehensive na- tional program of conservation."

Big Enrollment Not Dangerous ~-Edmonson By SID GOLDBERG Doubling national college en- rollment by 1960 will not endanger present educational standards, Dean James B. Edmonson last night pointed out that standards have been raised in the past two years in spite of overcrowding. He was discussing the Presi- dential Commission's "Report on Higher Education" in the first lec- ture of a new graduate course on problems of higher education. The ,commission's report is "sub- jiect to heated controversy," Dean Edmonson said. In addition to doubled enrollment, the report called for: Guaranteed public education through 14 years of school with no regard to race, creed, color or economic status; more attention to preparation of college teachers. Dean Edmonson said opinion is fiercely divided on the report. "Confused, confusing and con- tradictory . .." was the verdict of Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins of the University of Chicago. But it is "the most important educational document of recent yeails," according to Benjamin Fine, education editor of the New York Times, The commission was set up in 1946 to indicate goals "toward which America should move in meeting the needs of higher edu- cation in . .. a democracy," Dean Edmonson pointed out. Arabs Reject roposal, ll ReopenIssue Name Herbert Evatt Assembly President PARIS-UP)-The United States backed completely the late Count Folke Bernadotte's plan for a forced Palestine settlement. The U.S. action, the first such course taken by a big power, was announced in a statement by Sec- retary Marshall. THE STATEMENT dominated the opening session of the third regular United Nations Assembly and aroused immediate opposition from the Arabs, who said they would reopen the whole Palestine situation in the Assembly. The Assembly devoted its first session to housekeeping. It elect- ed Dr. Herbert Evatt, Australian foe of big power politics, as pres- ident, and put Paul - Henri Spaak, Belgian premier, into the chairmanship of the hot polit- ical committee, where most of the big battle of the 58-nation assembly are fought. The foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and France met for the second time in two days to map their next move in the battle with the Soviet Union over Berlin. BERNADOTTE'S FINAL report recognized the existence of Israel as a state, said its bundaries must be fixed by the U.N. if the Jews and Arabs could not agree on them, and declared peace must be imposed in Palestine by any pom sible means. It recommended revisions of boundaries set forth in the orig- inal partition plan. Marshall's statement of his gov- enment's position on the report said : "The United States considers that the conclusions contained in the final report of Count Berna- dotte offer a generally fair basis for settlement of the Palestine question. x Israeli VEdict OutlawsIrgun JERUSAL1VM-( P)--The Jew- ish extremist group, Irgun Zvai Leumi, accepted an ultimatum from the Israeli Government to- day and went out of business.
