LIX, No. 11 ANN ARBOR, MIChIGAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1948 PRICE FIVE CENTS De Gaulle Demands AnceT ' ave France ;" Red Leader Hints Russia Has 'A' Bomb Vishinsky Blasts Our Atom Policy PARIS - (A) - Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky bitterly attacked President Truman and Governor Dewey on the atomic issue and hinted twice the United Statesno longer has a monopoly on the deadly bomb. The Soviet Deputy Foreign Min- siter accused the United States of having atomic "war aims," and also struck at David E. Lilienthal, chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. He called statements by Truman, Dewey and Lilienthal "a shame." * * * WAVING HIS fists and flushing deeply, the white-haired Vishinsky spoke for two hours before the United Nations Assembly's 58-na- tion political committee. That group is debating the failure of Russia and the Western Powers to agree on international control of atomic energy. U. S. delegate Warren R. Aus- tin took extensive notes on the Russian speech but said he would not reply immediately. British minister of state Hector McNeil declared, "We do not know whether Russia has the atomic bomb or not. Everyone knows the United States is ready to give her know- how to the rest of the world. "We must make it plain to the whole world who is to blame not only for robbing mankind of the potential benefits of atomic en- ergy but of threatening mankind with all the consequerpces of the atomic bomb. We have the obliga- tion to tell the world, for we can- not tell tpe world afterwards if there is no world left, why the use of the atom was not controlled." * * * VISHINSKY SAID President Truman described the atomic bomb demonstrated at Eniwetok as an improved model which marked progress over the bomb exploded at Hiroshima in Japan. He shouted: "Apparently the President of the United States described as progress how a bomb which will kill half a million people. That is what they call progress." Turning to Dewey, he said the Republican presidential candi- date in a speech at Phoenix, Ariz., declared America has ex- clusive possession of atomic se- crets. Vishinsky quoted Lilienthal as saying the United States wants to prolong its monopoly on atomic energy as long as possible. * * * "IT IS a mistake," he shouted, "to think that there is just one state which has a monopoly over atomic energy and the atomic bomb. It is useless to think of such a thing. It is useless to hope for that because this is fraught with dire and dangerous conse- quences and miscalculations. "The United States go on stock- piling under the illusion that they are still monopolists." Just before attacking Presient Truman, Gov. Dewey and Lilien- fhal, Vishinsky made his second hint with this statement: "It is clear that the United States in respect to the atomic question carry out a dictatorial policy under the illusion they still have a monopoly on atomic en- ergy." Slosson Backers Choose Officers Betty Conlin and Bill O'Neill were elected co-chairmen of the newly organized Students for Slosson group last night at an open house meeting honoring the Democratic candidate for Con- gress from Washtenaw County. Bob Licht and Andee Seegar were elected secretary and treas- urer, respectively. Prof. Slosson spoke briefly to 'M' Opens Home Grid Season By MURRAY GRANT (Daily Sports Editor) After four vain attempts the Pacific Coast will again try to break the domination Michigan football teams have imposed upon them as Oregon moves into Ann Arbor to do battle with the Wol- verines this afternoon. A crowd of 72,000 will be on hand as the Webfoots led by Norm Van Brocklin try to notch their ninth consecutive win. Other Pa- cific Coast elevens have tried to overcome the Maize and Blue dur- ing the past 47 years, but the sum total of their efforts have been 13 points as against Michigan's 188. * * * IN THE FIRST battle Fielding Yost's point - a - minute eleven trounced Stanford, 49-0 in the in- augural Tournament of Roses clash in 1902. In Harmon's era Michigan met and swamped Cali- fornia, 41-0. Then last season the Mad Magicians trimmed Stanford, 49-13 and went on to measure Southern California in the Rose Bowl, 49-0. But today may be a different story. Oregon comes into town touted as the co-favorite for the West Coast Rose Bowl entrant. They have already scored deci- sive victories over Santa Bar- bara and Stanford this season. Under the tutelage of Jim Aikin the Ducks have developed two good pass catchers in Dan Garza and Dick Wilkins. They've also come up with a transfer from Pur- due, Johnny McKay, who has sparked the- running attack and! has scored five of the ten Oregon' touchdowns. -/ AIKIN HAS PUT together a starting line that will outweigh Michigan's forwards 13 pounds to the man. Led by the two tackles Steve Dotur and Don Stanton, who scale 222 and 224 respectively, the Duck line averages 207% lbs. Their backfield also isn't ex- actly tiny. They'll average 187 per man with McKay at 160 and big Bb Sanders, the fullback at 198 averaging out against a couple of 190 pounders, Van Brocklin and George Bell. On the Wolverine side of the ledger injuries still are keeping Michigan from peak strength. In all probability tailback Gene Der- ricotte will not see action nor will second string line backer John Ghindia. Pete Dendrinos, reserve tackle is still out also. TOMASI (top) WILKINS (bottom) In DERRICOTTE'S PLACE will be Chucking Chuck Ortmann, the sensational sophomore from Min- neapolis. With Ortmann heaving them for the Maize and Blue and Van Brocklin passing for Oregon the fans should be treated to an afternoon of long passing and the dazzling kind of football they crave. Another sophomore will be in the Wolverine backfield in the person of Leo Koceski. This youngster may go the full 60 minutes since Wally Teninga has been shifted to tailback to spell Ortmann. Up in the line the Wolverines will be aided by the return of Joe Soboleski. Soboleski has been a guard for the past three years, but mas moved to tackle this season to help bolster that post. DAN DWORSKY, a standout in line last week, may have to be an- other iron man since Bob Erben may be sidelined with a knee in- jury. Though injuries have ham- pered the Maize and Blue the return of Dick Kempthorn from the injured list is sure to be a See ORTMANN, Page 3 ELLIOTT (top) ECKLUND (bottom) S' r , j. f .: ' 4;, d , i { h fif" rye.

Railroads Ask Eight Per Cent Freight Boost WASHINGTON - ()-The na- tion's railroads asked the govern- ment to let them boost most freight rates eight per cent. This would cost shippers an extra $672,500,000 a year but the railroad industry says it badly needs these added millions to meet soaring operating costs. CARRIERS contend the 25 per cent freight rate increase granted them by the Interstate Commerce Commission earlier this year was not enough. Today they asked a flat eight per cent increase on everything except fresh fruit, vegetables, lum- ber, sugar, coal, coke and iron. The rate increase on these items would depend on the distance hipped. On short hauls, the boost would be around eight per cent; on long hauls, less. * * * THE NEW RATE, if granted, may not go into effect for several months. It usually takes that long for hearings to be completed ex- cept in emergencies. The rails did not place today's plea on an emer- gency basis. In its petition, the railroad in- dustry said operating costs have gone up 75 per cent since 1946 and are still soaring. Rate increases in the same period, they said, have totaled 40.8 per cent. During August the railroads had asked for rate advances on coal, coke and iron ore only. In offering the new petition, which includes these, the industry withdrew its previous application.-- 'U' Press Club Hears General Says Air Supremacy Vital to Modern War America must understand that significant changes have occurred in military theory and that think- ing and analysis must be changed accordingly, Gen. Orvil A. Ander- son declared last night before a meeting of the University Press Club., One of the most important of these changes is the ascendance of air action to a place of primary importance in war time. The de- cisive stage of battle has moved from land and sea to the air. Formerly, the worst catastrophe a nation at war could suffer was invasion of the homeland. But with technological improvements in the speed and striking power of the air arm "no nation can long survive exploitation of air weapons over their homeland-it is as bad as invasion, Gen. Anderson stated. The use of the air arm as a means of conquest is revolution- ary. The Atomic Bomb has demon- strated that the Air Force is no longer a supplementary weapon. Complete air supremacy over a belligerent nation can force un- conditional surrender without in- vasion, Gen. Anderson concluded.I Immediate Election Is Requested War Time Leader Hits Government PARIS - (P) - Gen. Charles De Gaulle told a news conference the French people must have a chance to elect him back to power or he will take other means to "save France." He said the present regime was "sterile," attacked the five-nation Western European Alliance as not worth much," and said the Western Powers were handling the crisis with Russia over Berlin in "deplorable" fashion. * * * THE ALLIANCE, which France has joined with Britain, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg, he declared was centered in Lon- don and "it is wrong to center in London the defense of Europe." He said he did not'want the Western Powers to evacuate Berlin, "above all I do not want them to surrender Paris," and he said the first interest of Eng- land would be defense of itself. The General declined to say what steps he would take to "save France," declaring "one is obliged to guard some discretion on the plans one can form." * * * BUT HE recalled that he headed a war-time government-in-exile and resistance movement and commented, "thus was France saved in 1940," The present government is "crumbling into illegitimacy" by its failure to consult the people, he added. He could not wait three years to come back, he hinted, "because in three years there will probably be neither French democracy nor French independence." New elections are.mandatory in 1951 for the National Assembly, but De Gaulle wants the assembly to dissolve and hold new elections immediately. * *' *. THE GENERAL, who resigned as chief of state in January, 1946, because of quarrels with France's' politicians, said the problem of European defense would have to be reconsidered "when' France has a real government." "What has been done thus far on this matter, including the Brussels Pact and the recent military conference in Paris is not worth much; it is no solu- tion at all," he said. "I have nothing against Eng- land. No one knows better what its courage and sacrifices have been. But England is an island and Europe is a continent." Five Indicted In State GOP Fund Probe Continue Grand Jury U.S. Attorney Asks BAY CITY, Mich. - W) - The FBI dug deeper into the records of Republican campaign financing today after four Flint auto sales agencies and five dealers were in:- dicted. A federal grand jury accused the dealers and agencies of violat- ing the federal corrupt practices act in donating money to the 1946 GOP campaign in Michigan. United States Attorney Thomas P. Thornton asked Federal Judge Frank A. Picard dto continue the life of the 21-man grand jury here. Normally, it would expire Monday. JUDGE PICARD said he would think it over for a few days and then announce a decision. Thornton told the court he may want the jury to examine added information relating to other in- dividuals. He did not name these other targets of the probe. Meanwhile, Thornton told news- KOCESKI (top) VAN BROCKLIN (center) OOSTERBAAN (bottom) ORTMANN (top) BELL (bottom) PETERSON (top) GARZA (center) AIKEN (bottom) GRID FOES-Pictured above are the two coaches and ten players from the two teams that will open the Michigan home football schedule for 1948 today in the Michigan Stadium.

With a host of out-of-town vis- itors taxing the facilitiies of local hotels and eateries to the bursting point, a near-holiday spirit per- vades the town's atmosphere. Culminating the pre-game en- thusiasm was last night's all-cam- pus pep rally, sponsored by the Wolverine Club, at which several thousand vociferous students and townspeople clearly demonstrated that Rose Bowl or not, they are still as solidly behind the Michigan eleven as ever. Assembling in front of the Union, the vast congregation, and the University marching band, led by six swaying tubas, formed a snake dance down State Street. Illuminated by the flickering light from scores of words of one of three Michigan songs. Most difficult assignement caused by today's large influx of visitors is that faced by the city police in controlling the customary, traffic flood. Both Candidates Now Talking About Unity By HAROLD JACKSON A handsome boxer who was just dog tired had State Street in an uproar yesterday. Window shoppers intrigued with the minute detail of a simulated student's room in the bay window two days and seems to enjoy the attention as much as any other woman would, according to Wag- ner. "Once she lay for an hour and a half with her chin on the win- dow sill just staring out," he said. CHEYENNE, Wyo. - (/')2 Gov. Thomas E.
