Apparently untouched were earlier pleas by outgoing head, Dr. Kenneth L. Brown, president of Denison University, for teaching of religion in public schools and colleges and support for anti-discrim- ination on American campuses. THE ASSOCIATION approved the Federal benefits, on condition that "educational standards be maintained," and with the forecast that a sudden rise in the numbert of college and university students may result in a multiplying of "educational performance at its lowest level." They urged that Federal scholarships be granted on the basis of merit and high educa- tional standards, rather than nleed. Before the controversial resolu- tioh passed, statements from the Sfloor called the President's Com- mission's report one of the "most vicious forms of philosophy ever represented in education." THE MORE than 600 delegates, including University of Michigan delegates, heard Dr. Brown throw the hot issues of discrimination and religion study into discus- $ions. "You cannot do Justice to American culture and keep re- ligion as an elective on the fringe of the campus," he said. However, Dr. Brown warned that present teaching staffs may not, be competent to handle pro- posed religious teachings. HE ALSO ASKED support for Amherst College, which is at- tempting to purge fraternities of prejudices regarding race, creed and color. Among those representing the University were -Dean Charles H. Peake, of the literary college, and Arthur L. Brandon, of the In- formation Service.

Shinkman Hits inaccuracies In Healns* Americans cannot see the news for the headlines; according to Paul A. Shinkman, news director for Washington, D.C. station WBBC, who concluded the jour- nalism lecture series last night. Shiinkman said that headlines often either do not tell the news or else they hide it. Americans traditionally do not like to face unpleasant situations and they will not look behind the headlines if they believe the news will prove unpleasant, he said. Foreign countries, recognizing this trait, have played upon it to our disadvantage, Shinkman de- clared. This American character- istic has also caused distrust and enmity between the United States and other nations, he said.

Enlistments Bring Army Near Quota Selective Service Will Slow Down WASHINGTON - (RP) - The Army, with its manpower limit sharply reduced and men pouring out of its recruiting machine, is trying to slow the thing down. The Army already has reached or is close to the 677,000-man fig- ure set for the next fiscal year, which starts July 1. About 35,000 volunteers have been enlisting or reenlisting monthly. * * * NUMBERS OF those who have volunteered have done so rather than be drafted. President Tru- man recognized this in his budget message to Congress Monday when he said that the existence of the Selective Service Act has helped spur recruiting. Although few, if any men, may actually be drafted here- after, he said, it is essential that power to draft remain available in case voluntary en- listinents drop too sharply. Men of 18 who volunteer for one year's training are exempt from the 21-month draft when they reach 19. Thousands of them enlisted although other thousands have shown an increasing willing- ness to gamble on missing the draft rather than- volunteer. * * * THE ARMY denied a report that it was considering releasing some or all of the 30,000 men drafted during November, Decem- ber and the first part of this month. Draft calls for February and March have been cancelled and officials conceded the Army was jammed between the volun- teers and the budget ceiling. One solution of the dilemma would be if enough men leave the Army to balance the numbers coming in during the five months ahead. Officials aren't really counting on this happy solution but say they are considering: (1) cutting out 2-year enlistments and (2) raising recruit standards. The first move would leave 3-year en- listments available. 'Snow' Joke-Winter Hits West British Cabinet SUpports Bevin English Explain Armed Air Flights, Reaffirm Course in Middle East LONDON-(A4)-The full British cabinet apparently gave its com- plete support to Foreign Secretary-Bevin's Palestine policy. A high government source said there will be no change in Brit- ain's Middle East course. This was after the cabinet met for fout hours, IT HEARD BEVIN'S REPORT on why Britain has sent troops to Awaba in Trans-Jordan, instituted armed air patrols along Palestine's Trans-Jordan and Egyptian frontiers, and warned that Middle East- ern peace is threatened unless the UN Security Council's authority is reestablished.

Increased enrollment has brought about lifting of a Uni- versity rule restricting fraternity and sorority houses to an area within "seven or eight minutes' walk" from the campus, the Stu- dent Affairs Committee has an- nounced. The SAC still retains jurisdic- tion over their location, however. "The acquisition of property by student groups 'will. be decided . on the basis of practical and economic operation," the Commit- tee voted. BUT, THE CITY council has yet to vote on a proposed ordi- nance which would exclude stu- dent groups from the area east of Ferdon Rd. and Onondaga St. The proposal brought vigor- cus protests from IFC and Pan- Hellenic spokesmen at an open hearing 10 days ago. It was de- ferred for consultation with the City Planning Commission. The city council hasn't met with the Planning Commission yet, ac- cording to Alderman A. D. Moore. THE SAC'S ACTION left it up to the city to make any blanket zoning restrictions that will ap- ply to fraternities and sororities. Mary Stirrer, president of Pan-Hellenic, said she hoped "very much that the council won't pass the ordinance, be- cause it might prevent two Ne- gro sororities from finding houses" Alderman Moore, who is a pro- Theme of Talk To 1ode World Lonstiutuon Prof. G.

At the same time, southern California looked far from sunny as snow fell for the fourth straight day. Milton Berle reports that Gov. Earl Warren has given the weather 24 hours to get out of the state. In the northwest, prolonged se- vere cold has frozen over rivers and clogged streams with ice, keeping several thousand logging and lumber workers idle. But although there is no joy in the north, west, or east, "some- where in the favored land the sun is shining bright," at tempera- tures reached mid-May heights in the South.

As such, it is the top ranking board of the country. five RAF planes were shot down last Friday while engaged in an armed reconnaissance over the Israeli-Egyptian battle area. Anthony Eden, No. 2 man in the Conservative Party, denounced flights over the area as "entirely purposeless and deplorable." IN A POLITICAL talk at War- wick, Eden called the Friday at- tack on British planes by Israelis "an unwarranted and aggressive act.". Then he asked, "Why were our aircraft sent to carry out a recon- naissance over a battle area in such conditions? What useful British purpose could be served?" He criticized the handling of affairs in the Middle East as "confused" and endangering British-American friendship. Tel Aviv dispatches quoted one of the RAF fliers as saying in an interview his Spitfire had crossed into Palestine territory before it was shot down Friday by Jewish riflemen. The flier, Pilot Frank Harvey Close, was quoted as saying he was familiar with road landmarks in the area and knew his flight leader led the formation over the frontier. He could not say wheth- er the flight leader knew it, how- ever. The story sent authorities "at a very high level" in London into a huddle. Eventually the Air Min- istry stuck by its original story. Williams Will Reveal Budget To Appear Before LegislatureToday LANSING-(a)-In a sudden change of plans, Governor Wil- liams arranged to appear before the legislature today and submit his budget message, which he has promised will include funds for increased financial aid to colleges and universities. Originally, Williams had planned to file only the budget document this week and to submit his financial recommendations at a later date. WILLIAMS' request last week for increased college aid raised the hopes of University of Michi- gan officials, who have asked more than eight million dollars for capital improvements. The money would be spent to build additions to the General Library, Angell Hall, plans for the School of Music and a Medi- cal Research Buildings. Requests for 73 new' faculty members were also included in the operating budget submitted to the legislators. As Gov. Williams announced that he would appear before the legislature today, the 39 House Democrats meanwhile organized at a secret campus, electing Rep. William Romano as minority floor leader. China Group, Urges Ending_ Of Civil War NANKING-(P)-The Chinese Government's control Yuan urged an immediate cease fire in China's civil war.. The Yuan (corresponding to a budget bureau, and not a policy- making body) voted to send mes- sages to President Chiang Kai- Shek and Mao Tze-Tung, top Communist leader, calling for a halt in the fighting and for peace negotiations. * * * "THE REAL victory should at- tempt to meet the real desires of the people and the achievement of peace," said the Yuan's statement. (The dispatch did not men- tion any reaction by Chiang, who already has offered to ne- gotiate with the Chinese Reds -for peace on his own terms. The communist radio flatly re- jected Chiang's offer.) (Meanwhile, a dispatch direct from Communist-besieged Tient- sin described fighting on three sides of the big north China in- dustrial city. The dispatch Inad no mention of a truce there, or any arrangements for the city's surrender. (REPORTS OF a peace move by Tientsin's citizens circulated belief that such a move would set a pattern for an end to the civil war. (Nationalist preparations to meet a possible Communist as- sault on Peiping from the north were reported from that ancient capital by Associated Press cor- respondent Spencer Moosa. (Moosa messaged Shanghai that "censorship completely blot- ted out important developments of Peiping, going far beyond the needs of security." (HOWEVER, regarding prepar- ations for a red assault, the Peip- ing censor permitted Moosa to say: "The people of Peiping d not think the city will be a battle- field but the Reds appear to be getting tired of Fu Tso-Yis stall- ing. (Gen. Fu Tso-Yi is the gov- ernment's north China com- mander, with headquarters in Peiping. (Moosa reported earlier that trustworthy reports had it that the Reds refused to compromise on the surrender of Tientsin). * * * REPORTS reaching Nanking by radio from Tientsin said the Com- munists sent these terms into the city: All troops to down arms; all military supplies and equipment to be protected and turned over to the Reds; all soldiers to be protected if they obey -these terms, In reply, the garrison of 6,000 men is said to have agreed to give ip the city if the Reds would let it keep its small arms and sail 'ack to Nationalist China from the nearby port of Tangku.
