LIX, No. 40 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1948 PRICE FIVE CENTS 6A/i l l Levels Sights gainst Middies Today V U.S. Citizens Evacuating North China Fear Invasion By Communists NANKING - (P) - The 1,000 wives and children of U. S. Mili- tary personnel in China are being sent home and all other American civilians are being urged by the embassy to leave the Shanghai- Nanking area for fear of Commu- nist invasion. In addition, Vice Adm. Oscar C. Badger said in a news conference in Shanghai that he might shift some Marines from the Tsingtao base to Shanghai, "but only as a protective force " ADMIRAL BADGER, com- manding the U. S. Western Pacific fleet, said. "The Marines hold spe- cial status and can land on a for- eign shore without constituting an .act of war. They are recognized by international law as interna-- tional policemen." We may have to bring some to Shanghai." He said he had no intention of aliandoning th Tsingtao base on the North China coast but was prepared to evacuate Americans and citizens of friendly nations "on a humanitarian basis." * * * (PACIFIC FLEET headquar- ters at Pearl Harbor said the American civilian evacuation did not apply in Tsingtao, where there are 1,015 Americans, mostly de- pendents of service men. Admiral Badger has said he could take them all off in a few hours on a single ship if the need arises.) It appeared that the American steps were taken only after the embassy's military staff ad- vised it that the Chinese gov- ernment no longer had the physical power to keep the war away from the national capital. Chinese spokesmen declined public comment, but one high of- ficial said the American action "appears unwarranted." BOTH NANKING and Shang- hai are south of the broad Yangtze river, but both could be cut off from the sea. Nanking is linked to Shanghai by a 193-mile railroad which follows the river's south bank. Shanghai, although a great port, is 13 miles up the Whang- poo River, which flows into the Yangtze estuary. Maj. Gen. David G. Barr, direc- tor of the U. S. joint military ad- visory groups in China, said all the groups' dependents would be re- turned to the United States as rapidly as water transportation becomes available, with the U. S. West Coast strike tying up a ma- jority of ships that normally ply to China, accommodations may be hard to get.

Ortmann and Koceski, Michigan's sophomore stars, will carry much of the offensive load, both on the ground and in the air, while Teninga will provide the punts, when necessary. Dulles Says U.S. No Longer Disarming PARIS-(P)-John Foster Dulles told the Russian bloc today that the United States has stopped disarming and "intends to be strong" so long as fears grip the free peoples of the world. From the tone and manner of his speech it was apparent that a firm American policy in the Unit- ed Nations Assembly is shaping up quickly after last Tuesday's Pres- idential election. DULLES, the Republican party adviser on foreign affairs, thus in- dicated the election had not changed in any way the general foreign policy supported by both Republicans and Democrats. He denounced as "vicious falsehoods" Russian charges that the United States aims for world mastery. Dulles told the UN Political Committee: "Our growing national strength no doubt displeases some; but it does not, I believe, frighten any. I ask each delegate to search his own mind and come to his own conclusion as to who and what his nation fears. I shall be satisfied with a silent verdict, for sTknow that some fear even to express their fear." AMERICANS, Dulles said, make no apology for their decision to stop disarming "because our strength is not for ourselves alone." He added: "It is our pur- pose so to unite and strengthen the forces of freedom that they will not have to fear." Dulles spoke in a debate on the Balkans. He said Americans had organized "no disloyal groups, no fifth columns, to do our will" in Europe after withdrawing all but a fragment of the huge armed forces which fought in the war. He said this was proof that the United States has no aggressive ambitions. Garg, Directory Crews Battle To Get Issues on Stands First Odds ran high in publications circles yesterday over the fever- pitched battle between the Gar- goyle and the Student Directory to decide which would pounce upon the campus first. The conflict and confusion broke out early this week when the Di- rectory failed to materialize on Monday as advertised. Directory Accident Fatal to University Student Injuries sustained in an auto accident two months ago, proved fatal to John C. Goodale, '50L, of Milwaukee, Wisc., who died yes- terday morning in University Hos- pital. Goodale, who graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Wisconsin, had done outstand- ing work in the law school, for which he was appointed to the Michigan Law Review. Goodale is survived by his wife and parents, also of Milwaukee. No funeral arrangements have been made. editors howled with agony when they heard that the bindery had broken down. And to top it off, someone lost the Directory's 450 page innards somewhere in Chi- cago. * * * SUCCUMBING to fate, Business Editor Bill Graham announced that the Directory would positive- ly, absolutely, finally, and for all year-come out next Tuesday, Nov. 9. At this point, cries of glee broke out from the Garg of- fices. Their publication date had been settled 13 weeks ago for Monday, Nov. 8. The Gar- goyle would be first. But complications have set in at the printers. And Nov. 8 will come and go before the ink is dry on the Garg's copy and the Gar- goyle comes to campus. * * * MEANWHILE, in the middle is the poor hounded printer. Sand- wiched between clanging tele- phones, he hears voices on each demanding, "The Gargoyle first!" .. . "No, the Directory first!" . . "THE GARG! . . ""NO, the..."

All were convinced of war crimes. * * * Session Called To Raise State - Officers'_Pay LANSING-(fP)-The Executive office announced unexpectedly that a special session of the Legis- lature.would be called Tuesday. Officials said the purpose is to vote pay raises for legislators and state officers. But almost im- BulIletini LANSING-(/P)-A call for a special session of the Legisla- ture Tuesday to raise legisla- tors' pay was suddenly retracted early today. mediately the announcement touched off an old feud between two Republican leaders rejected by voters this week. In Detroit, Governor-elect G. Mennen Williams said it appeared that the announcement was kin- dling "internecine warfare" with- in the election-battered Republi- can party. He said, however, that he favored getting the salary raises through immediately. * * *f LT. GOV. ELECT KEYES, act- ing as Governor in the absence of Kim Sigler, set off the dispute with a threat to make a gas tax raise the first problem of the spe- cial session. Band Salutes Gobs, Marines Between halves of today's game, the Marching Band will salute the Navy, Michigan's opponent in the game, and the Marine Corps, which will celebrate its 173rd birthday on November 10. Participating in the program will be men from the University N.R.O.T.C. detachment, who will form an anchor in the center of the field, while the band spells out the word NAVY. A detachment of Marines from the Central Recruiting Division of Detroit will assist the band in re- creating a memorable moment in American history - the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima.' Other formations planned for the program will be a large ship, complete with cabin and stack, and a plane which will fly down the field with motors roaring. Democratic ticket, Barkley said, "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. It may not even be a bridge when we get to it." Barkley also predicted passage of the major parts of President Truman's campaign platform, including some legislation aimed at controlling prices. Barkley said he thinks the Taft- Hartley Labor Act should be re- pealed and possibly replaced by some modifications of the original Wagner Act. In addition, Barkley predicted, the extension of Federal rent con- trols beyond March 1, and said he thinks President Truman again will call on Congress to enact civil rights legislation. Meanwhile, Gov. James Folsom of Alabama filed suit in Federal Court to force Alabama's 11 Dem- ocratic electors to cast their votes for President Truman. A flood of telephone calls from States Rights and regular South- ern Democrats reached Washing- ton sounding out the wisdom of switching any or all of the 38 elec- toral votes scheduled for Thur- mond to Mr. Truman's column. Dixie Democrats in Rush To Get Back into Party By The Associated Press Southern Democrats are scurrying to get back into the Democratic fold and President Truman's good graces after his smashing victory at the polls. Statements of Vice-President-elect Alben W. Barkley, Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (Dem., Wyo.), and Sen. Olin D. Johnston (Dem., S.C.), indicated that they will be received back into the party without reprisals. Prediction of party harmony in the coming Congressional session were voiced both by Senator Johnston,, a Southern Democrat who opposed Truman and later voted for him, and Senator O'Mah'oney, who is identified with the Northern and Western members of the party. * * * * WHEN ASKED whether there will be reprisals against legislators who supported the States' Rights ". Benelux States Will outline Atlantic Pact U.S. Arms Three French Divisions PARIS-(P-The Brussells Alli- ance will begin next week with the outline and perhaps the actual draft of a proposed North Atlantic pact with Canada and the United States, British and French sources said. Thedobject is to have the treaty ready to submit to Congress in January. This development followed the disclosure that the United States already has re-equipped three French divisions in Germany from surplus material. * * HIGH AMERICAN, British and French commanders in Germany will confer this week-end with Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, chief military planner of the Brussells Alliance, to map stra- tegic plans for European defense. This will take place at Han- nover, residence of the British military governor of Germany, even before the representatives' of Britain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg gather in London next week to discuss the projected North At- lantic pact. The Frankfurt dispatches ex- plained that the United States is automatically committed to the defense of Western Europe-re- gardless of the existence or non- existence of a formal alliance-so long as American troops are in Germany. Naval Attack Geared for First Victory Rain Threatens Winning Streak By MURRAY GRANT (Daily Sports Editor) The Navy will be operating on another sea-a sea of mud-as they meet the mighty Michigan Wolverines at 2:00 p.m. today at Michigan Stadium. And as on most seas, the Navy will be tough to sink on this mud- dy morass. With a weather report of rain and more rain for today, the high-stepping, quick-shifting Wolverines may find themselves with more than they bargained for. NAVY has a good team, despite the record, and they are by far a better running team than they are a passing aggregation. Michigan, on the other hand, operates most effectively on a dry field under blue skies. The deceptive attack employed by Coach Bennie Oosterbaan us- ually has three or four men handling the ball in the back- field. And with a wet ball that isn't easy. But even with the mud and rain the Wolverines will go into the contest as a two or three touch- down favorite. They have won six straight games this season and are looking for their 21st victory in a row. * * * NAVY, TOO, is working on a streak. But this one is an unen- viable record. They've lost six in a row this season and have been on the short end in their last ele- yen outings. But one of the major reasons for their unimpressive season is the "suicide" schedule they face. Of their nine games the Middles must face six out of the top ten teams in the land. They've al- ready been beaten by Notre Dame, California, Penn, and Missouri, who rate one, five, sev- en and nine respectively. They've also dropped close de- cisions to Cornell, unbeaten until Army knocked them off two weeks ago, and Duke, one of the powers of the Southeast. NOW THEY FACE Michigan, another contender for the mythi- cal national title. The men who made up this schedule must have been Army grads. Yet strangely enough the Middies have scored in each contest and have made real fights of most of them. They lost out to Penn in the closing minutes and Cornell had to come from behind to triumph, 13-7. NOW COACH Oosterbaan has brought his squad up to another peak and has them set for the last three big games of the season. With the worst over, and an un- defeated season in view, the coaching staff and the team don't want to see it disappear before one of the lesser lights they face. See WOLVERINES, Page 3 * * * Threat of Rain Fails To Malt Influx of Fans Michigan may sink the Navy today, figuratively and literally. As 85,938 fans prepared for a colorful gridiron clash, the weath- erman grimly stuck to his predic- tion that yesterday's all-day downpour would continue. But whether the Navy squad really has to "sail down the field" will make little difference to the sellout crowd streaming into Ann Arbor this morning. HOTELS WERE packed last night with fans, and buses and trains entering Ann Arbor this morning are expected to be jammed, company officials re- ported.
