LIX, No. 51 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1948 PRICE FIVE CENTS ChineseNationalists laim uchow Victory Proposed DP Project Wins Strong Campus Support Four campus groups last night pledged sponsorship of displaced students who will take up -their studies at the University next se- mester. Inter-Cooperative Council, Stu- dent Religious Association, Assem- bly and Theta Xi fraternity have offered to support four of six stu- dents being brought here un- der auspices of the Committee on Displaced Students. EACH ORGANIZATION will provide all funds necessary for the maintenance of the student it is sponsoring. Panhellenic Association has tentatively offered to sponsor another displaced student. Each sorority woman on campus will contribute one dollar to the Pan- hel fund. And Alpha Delta Pi More Phones Promised to East Quadders East Quad men can soon breathe more easily when they wish to make a phone call from that dorm. Several days ago Francis C. Shiel, Business Manager of Resi- dence Halls, authorized the instal- lation of additional lines to ease the "rush hour" load. WHEN TIE telephone com- pany installs the extra lines, which will be only a matter of days, the number of persons per line at the East Quad will drop from 94, a record among "U" dorms, to 69. This will be accomplished by raising the number of "trunks" or main lines from 13 to 18. The new lines will be the only installation of new equipment at the present time for any dormi- tory, according to Shiel ORIGINALLY, he added, 20 persons per telephone was consid- ered the most suitable number, and "we are striving to keep it at that number." One of the reasons that more equipment won't be added is that it is still "frozen" by the govern- ment, and threfore very hard to get, he declared. Coeds To Get Friday Okay Women students who want to enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers at home next Friday will have to se- cure overnight permission from the Dean of Women's office. According to Assistant Dean Mary C. Bromage, overnight per- mission for Thursday will be granted only by the Dean's office. Wednesday and weekend overnight permissions may be granted by house directors. PATRICIA HANNAGAN, presi- dent of Women's Judiciary Coun- cil, said yesterday that women who decide to stay over at their homes Thursday night without late per- mission will be called before the council. The customary penalty for such an infringement is social. proba- tion. Wednesday, women still on cam- pus will be granted 12:30 a.m. per- mission. Hours Thursday will be 11 p.m. Weekend hours will be the same as usual. TURKEY DAY TRAVELERS WHY GO BY TRAIN? WHY GO BY PLANE? When a round-trip ride may be "yours for the advertising." WHY DRIVE EMPTY? sorority will provide the room and board facilities. Assembly will ask each inde- pendent woman to contribute 50c between Nov. 29 and Dec. 3 for support of its student. BESIDES completely ing their own displaced ICC will provide room for SRA's student. support- student, facilities Other groups who wish to sponsor students may contact Robert A. Reiter at 2-3119. Sponsoring organizations may join the Committee on its ma- jority approval. Foreign student tuition scholar- ships for the six students were se- cured for the spring term through the Administration earlier this se- mester. THE STUDENTS are among several hundred whom William H. Sudduth, former UNRRA official, is placing in American colleges. Mississippi State, Sudduth's alma mater, Barnard, Benning- ton, Eastman Conservatory of Music, Dartmouth and Centen- ary College also have agreed to support students. Six displaced students were en- rolled at Dartmouth this fall through the sponsoring of the Un- dergraduate Council there. General maintenance is pro- vided with the aid of the frater- nities and the local Chamber of Commerce. Z4VC Praises' .Fraternity for Takingl Nvegro The University chapter of AVC voted last night to commend the Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at Amherst College, Mass. for admitting a Negro to membership in the face of the op- position of their national organ- ization. The chapter also voted to ask the Michigan chapter of Phi Kappa Psi to reconsider its sup- port for the stand of the national organization, and issued a plea to all campus sororities and frater- nities to revise admission policies. The proposed revision suggests opening membership to all per - sons regardless of religion or color. A RESOLUTION was also passed to create a committee of volunteer blood donors who will contribute blood to needy patients at the University Hospital. Six members volunteered to contribute blood to the wife of a veteran. While supporting the Michigan Forum proposed by the Student Legislature, the membership indi- cated that it felt the forum is not a substitute for completely free expression of student opinion, and urged continued opposition to the political speakers ban. British Ask UN To Cut Israel Size Jews Hold Out In Negev Area PARIS-(P)-Britain asked the United Nations today to reparti- tion Palestine and reduce the size of Israel by three-fifths. Israel's opposition to any such proposal was demonstrated sharp- ly several hours later in Tel Aviv, when the Israeli government re- jected flatly a directive of the Se- curity Council to withdraw its troops from the Negev. * * * AT THE SAME time the Israeli government said it welcomed the action of the Security Council two days ago in calling for an armis- tice as a bridge for a Palestine peace. Israel urged the UN to name the time and place the Is- realis could meet representatives of the Arab states "to begin nego- tiations for a permanent peace." Only tonight in Paris the act- ing Palestine mediator, Dr. Ralph Bunche, asked Israel and the seven Arab states to begin negotiations for an armistice to replace the present Holy Land truce. A UNITED NATIONS off icai said the UN had not yet been ad- vised of the Israeli decision against withdrawing from the Negev. The Israeli position will have to be studied by Dr. Bunche, be- fore he makes any further rec- ommendations. The British submitted to the General Assembly's Political Com- mittee a draft resolution calling for solution of the Holy Land problem on the basis of the plan of the late ;mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte. UNDER THAT PLAN the Negev, or.southern desert, would be given to the Arabs. In turn the Jews would receive Western Galilee. The original UN partition plan gave the Negev to the Jews and Western Gililee to the Arabs. A British spokesman declared the United States delegation was consulted "on an official level" during drafting of the resolu- tion calling for a Palestine set- tlement on the basis of the Bernadotte report. The spokesman said the British were hopeful the proposal will re- ceive American support. * * AN AMERICAN informant said the U. S. delegation will make a preliminary statement on Pales- tine at the next meeting of the ssembly's Political Committee. The committee had been sched- uled to meet tomorrow, but the meeting was postponed tonight. No reason was given and no date was set for the next meeting. Delegates said they expected the Palestine debate to take on new life after the United States speaks. Red Casualties Given as_130,000 NANKING-(P)-A complete government victory was proclaimed today in the fateful battle of Suchow. Masses of Chinese Communists were reported surrendering or retreating after suffering 130,000 casualties. * * * * MAJ. GEN. CHANG LIU-SHIH, military spokesman, asserted that Communist troops north, east and south of the big base had been broken into small bands and were grounding arms. He listed government casualties at 40,000 men. More sober opinion among Chinese officials is that the gov- ernment won the first round in 10 days of bloody combat. The Communists were believed with- Daily-Dave Mayer JUDICIARY THROWS OUT J-HOP PETITIONS-Members of the Men's Judiciary and SL election committee pour over J-Hop petitions in the office of student affairs. As a result of their efforts, thirty-three applications were voided and the election was postponed one week. Left to right, they are, (Standing), Judiciary President Ev Ellin, Hugh Greenberg of the SL, Bruce Lockwood and George Meyer of the Judiciary. Seated are Duane Nuechterlein of the SL, Jerry Rees and Don Queller of Men's Judiciary. * * * * CANDIDATES' PLANS UPSET: Election Deferment Rio By AL BLUMROSEN Postponement of the all-campus elections for one week has thrown the plans of most candidates into confusion. J-Hop and Senior Class candi- dates were carefully circulating their petitions yesterday and mak- ing plans to stretch their cam- paigns for another week. West Quad rallies, slated for Monday evening have been postponed for a week. MEN'S JUDICIARY COUNCIL president Ev Ellin was besieged with calls from indignant candi- dates yesterday after the voiding of thirty three J-Hop petitions and announcement of the election postponement. The second-chance petitions are due by 3 p.m. Monday in Rm. 2, University Hall and will be reviewed at that time by the Judiciary. All in all, fifty two petitions were voided by Men's Judiciary in the last three days. Candidates had accepted signatures from students not in the right class or school, had duplicated signatures, names or fictitious names on their peti- tions, according to Ellin. ELLIN STRESSED that the re- jected petitions could not be ex- amined by the candidates because of clerical difficulties. The two disqualified SL can- didates appealed and were given permission to repetition after they proved that there was no malicious intent in their faulty petitipns. Ellin' said that the action of the Judiciary was taken to combat student apathy toward their own election rules and make them real- ize the importance of following regulations that they had set down. AT A MEETING of independ- ents sponsored by Assembly yes- terday, a spot check revealed that of the sixteen candidates present, only five were in favor of the postponement. The independents plan to repeat their meeting at 4:15 p.m., Nov. 30, in the League. drawing to regroup for a prob- able second assault. Even the pessimists conceded that Nanking is safe for at least one more month. Optimists de- clared Chiang Kai-Shek's fortunes are bounding after hitting the to- boggan when it looked as if the day was lost. (The Communist radio, for the first time since the battle broke, made no new claims of victory. As heard by the Associated Press at San Francisco, it was content with rehashing events of three days ago.) A NEW POSSIBLE trouble spot cropped up as both sides pre- pared for the next phase of the struggle north of Nanking. # A Shanghai report said a Communist truck column had been spotted moving toward Tsingtao, the U.S. Naval anchor- age which is being reinforced by 1,250 U.S. Marines from Guam. Tsingtao is 225 miles northeast of Suchow. Officials in Nanking said they had heard the report. It was sug- gested. the trucks might be headed for the Poshan mines west of Tsingtao to pick up coal. GENERAL CHANG told his news conference that "the battle for Suchow can be considered as concluded," but added: "What the Communists will do now is subject to conjecture." It seemed clear that a grave tactical error by the usually- adroit Gen. Chen Yi, who com- mands the Communist armies of East China, and wily one-eyed Gen. Liu Po-Cheng, Red com- mander in Central China, proved costly. Chen deployed his troops on the plains east of Suchow in clear weather, and the Chinese air force struck them with all it had -more than 100 bombers and fighter bombers. Liu, whose troops attacked from the south, cutting the railway from Suchow to Nanking, likewise found no cover from the aerial storm. * * * BOTH GENERALS, who are used to fighting in rough terrain which provides a natural cover, seemed to lack the antiaircraft guns which their Manchurian comrades have been using to such good effect. Instead of waiting for the cloudy weather which can be expected with approaching win- ter, they chose to gamble with Nanking's air field no more than an hour's flying time away. It seems certain that at the least Chen's eastern armies and Liu's forces of the center have been forced to withdraw 'for regroup- ing. They will probably wait for bad flying weather before trying again. * * * CHANG SAID all the railway from Suchow to Nanking now was in government hands. Trains are moving only as far as Kuchen, 65 miles south of Suchow, because the Communists blew up the tracks. Blizzard Hits Middle West, Sweeps East r 'BROAD WAY IN . REVIEW': John Mason Brown Will Lecture on Life of Critic Williams Asks Constituents To Guide Him Democrats Celebrate Victories in State Governor-elect G. Mennen Wil- liams last night called on the peo- ple of Michigan "to mobilize as is- sues arise to indicate what should and what shouldn't be done." Speaking at a Democratic Vic- tory Dinner for candidates and party workers in McKinney Hall in Ypsilanti, Williams said "the real victory is yet to be won." * *, * WHETHER OR not we can achieve that victory lies not only in the lap of the future and in the lap of those elected, but in the lap of the people," he asserted. Speaking of the governorship, Williams said "It's not the crum- miest job in Michigan," obvi- ously referring to Gov. Sigler's statement to that effect. "It's a damn good job. I am not going to louse it up," he promised. * * * AMONG THOSE present at the dinner were the unsuccessful Washtenaw County Democratic candidates, including University Professor Preston W. Slosson. Twenty-six members of the Stu- dents for Slosson group were also on hand. Williams invited the Three Sharps, formerly the Vaughan House Trio, to sing at his in- auguration. Each of the local Democratic committees in the state vas intro- duced and received a round of ap- plause. oFlr Japanese Miners Saved By AlertAmerican Soldier TOKYO-(AP)-A shy young U.S. soldier-who knows about mine disasters - told today how he saved four Japanese coal miners "trapped for 13 days by a cavein. Pvt. Salvatore Forte, 18, Hat- boro, Pa., gave the details in a telephone interview from his com- manding officer's home in Sendai, 'U' Enrollment Hits 21,324 With slide rules still in hand, University officials reported that the campus population has reached 21,324 by the end of the eighth week of classes-the high- est total enrollment in the Uni- versity's 111 year existence. The vital ratio between the sexes was ieported as 3.06 men tao each woman, which officials said was higher than last year. The number of veterans enrolled dropped from 11,807 to 10,952 while non-vets absorbed most of the increase. THE MINE CAVED in at the village of Yoshioka near Sendai, trapping the miners behind 60 feet of earth 300 feet from the mine entrance. Two days later Japanese res- cue squads had made no prog- ress against the caving earth. "I just happened to volunteer to drive the equipment out," Forte said. "I found the Japs pretty dazed. You know how they get to sort of running around. Well, I'd done some mining in Allentown Pa.). So I pitched in." "I KEPT about 40 Japanese on two shifts. They just needed some- one to tell them and they really went to work. "I always had thought the chances were slim. Things looked bad. Then we heard a faint tapping and knew the four were alive. You should have seen those Japs on the drills. They sure jabbered." Then the drillers struck the shaft, bored a hole large enough for a man to pass through, and the four were brought out. Relief Workers Seek Stranded Victims GARDEN CITY, Kas.- ()-A snowstorm blew eastward last night from the, plains region af- ter halting highway travel and dis- rupting communications in six states. Cold air masses sweeping down from the Rockies spread snow up to a foot deep over eastern Colo- rado, northwestern Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and parts .of New Mexico and the Texas Pan- handle. * * * VISIBILITY in 19 souithwest Kansas counties was reported nearly at zero by division head- quarters. Traffic on all highways there was at a standstill. Crews roamed the roads towing dozens of stalled cars out of ditches. snow was still falling in west- ern Kansas tonifft. -The-CA said wind strength was at 75 miles an hour. Driving snow had closed U. S highway 64 at one point in the Oklahoma Panhandle and motor- ists were warned off other roads in the chill northwest corner of the state. * * * CLEARING WEATHER in the Idaho primitive area made possi ble air rescue of 20 snowbound hunters and an injured forest serv- ice worker. "The Kansas storm will move east northeastward through the southern Great Lakes region during the next 36 hours," the Chicago Weather Bureau said. It added that the storm will be "attended by widespread preci- pitation." The southern see- tions will get rain and the north, snow. Temperatures were about nor- mal in the East today. Wolverines Leave Today Farewell, oh mighty Wolverines! The nation's number one foot- ball team will depart by bus at 4:30 p.m. today from Yost Flek House-without benefit of bands, loud speakers or premeditated per- formances. * * * A GALA sendoff planned by the Student Legislature, IFC, Pan Hel, Union, Assembly and AIM was called off at the request of coach Bennie Oosterbaan, who feared that a formal rally might overly- excite the team. Oosterbaan emphasized,, how- ever, that he fully approved of .ny spontaneous sendoff that the students want to give the team. Formal sendoff or not, the larg- est farewell crowd of the season- there were 50 students, two dogs and a cat at the last one-is 'x- pected to be on hand to wish the Maize and Blue warriors success in their final tilt of the season with Ohio State. Autos Go Hog Wild Ovorj ThrP Pi v By BLUMA ZILBER John Mason Brown, critic ex- extraordinaire, will be in town to- night to deliver his lecture "Broad- way in Review" at 8:30 in Hill Auditorium. As a newspaperman with many years experience on the Broadway beat, Brown has an insight into the working of the theatre world. GAINING VALUABLE stage ex- perience in the Harvard drama workshop, Brown was torn be- tween the stage and journalistic work. He finally compromised with himself and became the drama critic of the Theater Arts Monthly. Later, he served for 14 years as critic on the New York World Telegram. Brown has been acclaimed as one of the most popular lecturers PIN-NY SERENADE: Quad, 1)08'ers Puff Pipe of Peace Letters to the Editor notwith- standing, it appears that an all- out "cold shoulder war" has been averted between the men of the new Eaist Quadrangle and the women living across the street at 1108 Hill. The trouble started a week ago Daily on the following day, the Hill St. girls attacked the "rude" East Quadders and expressed hope that, in the future, "the beautifully sung music" would not be interrupted. Bitter and sarcastic letters from amazed at the early hour of the serenade, leaped to their win- dows and discovered that the songsters were none other than -the "girls of 1108" on a peace mission. Within minutes, the Strauss
