LIX, No. 148 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 1949 PRICE FIVE CENTS I I ___________I________4___ Trains Ready As Blockade Lifting Nears Progress on Date DetailsReported By The Associated Press BERLIN -Plans were complete to the last detail in Western Ger- many last night for resumption of traffic to Berlin-just in case of a May Day announcement from Moscow on the blockade. Informal talks with Russia on ending the blockade were under- stood yesterday to have progressed to the question of details, such as dates. RUSSIA IS SAID to have reas- sured the Western powers that it is fully prepared to drop the Ber- lin barriers if the West will end its counter-blockade and schedule a four-power meetingon Germany. A Hamburg dispatch said West German railways were ready to start 30 freight trains a day to Berlin. Officials said they could get 20 trainloads of coal to the city within 24 hours after being given the green light. Heightening a feeling of opti- mism, the Russians in this divided city granted two Brtish demands with such cordiality that it repre- sented almost a complete change of attitude. THEY PROMISED not to inter- fere again with canal traffic in Britain's sector. They also re- turned, with an apology, three British military policemen seized yesterday during a raid on a Brit- ish-occupied farm. The two incidents first had Western authorities puzzled -be- cause, while Soviet representa- tives were discussing with Amer- loans the lifting of this city's 10-month blockade, Russian of- ficials on the erlin level ap- peared to be acting in an un- friendly manner. Meanwhile in New York the President of the United Nations Assembly, Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, said yesterday he expected "early lifting" of the blockade. THIS BACKED UP officially views expressed by a number of UN delegates, who are pleased at the progress of secret East-West talks. Dr. Evatt added that this action would not cover all disputes among the great powers, but would clear the ground for a fresh approach to the peace settlements for Ger- many and Japan. West Battles Red Bloc on ChurchTrials NEW YORK-MP)-The Russian bloc and the West fought as usual in the United Nations Assembly yesterday over the trials of churchmen behind the iron cur- tain. The Assembly approached a vote on the iron curtain trials in an extraordinary Saturday ses- sion, the first such meeting here at this spring assembly. The battle hinged on the trials and convictions of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty .of Hungary and of 15 Bulgarian Protestant ministers. The United States has charged that human rights were violated, but the American delegation de- cided the best course now is to take it up under the peace trea- ties with Hungary and Bulgaria. Andrei Y. Gromyko, Soviet Dep- uty Foreign Minsiter, has at- tacked the West at every turn for backing the case in the UN. He said the trials are an internal matter and not the business of the UN. Regents Adopt .. Four Memoirs Memoirs to two former faculty members and a former governor and regent were approved by the Board of Regents yesterday. Chase S. Osborn, former gov- ernor of Michigan and regent of PROF REINHOLD NIEBUHR * * * Christianity Inte rpreted By Niebuhr Prof. Reinhold Niebuhr outlined the basic dimensions of Christian- ity yesterday at the opening ses- sion of the Michigan Student Christian Convocation at Rack- ham. "These dimensions are the love of God dealing with the ultimate mystery and meaning of our ex- istence and the social meaning of our existence and the social meaning ,of our life with our fel- owmen," he explained. IDEALLY THIS LIFE would be ordered by the love illustrated in the commandment, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Actually we have to take care of the evils which arise from a twisted idea of love, he declared. "Instruments of community such as government, property, trade unions and balance of power are used for justice but not for pure love," Prof. Nie- buhr emphasized. The professor pointed out that the Protestant church takes one of two alternatives to answer the problems arising from these evils. * * * "IT MAY PAY no attention to the use of these instruments in establishing imperfect justice or it may turn to sentimentalism," he said. He illustrated this point with pacifism whcih claims schemes of justice are not necessary. "Pacifists declare that univer- sal love will take care of every- thing. But they fail to consider the self-love of men and nations which makes justice rather than pure love necessary." * * * A SOLUTION to the problem lies in recognition that wars, tax- ation and balance of power come actually from each person. The evils of capitalism are not simply the faults of the properties class, he said. "All schemes of justice must be subordinated to the laws of love. A true community of love will come only when a spirit of for- giveness on the part of all per- sons exists," he concluded. Tolman To Deliver Psychology Talk Prof. E. C. Tolman of the Uni- versity of California will speak on "The Nature and Functioning of Wants" at the Psychology Collo- quium 4:15 p.m. Monday in Lane Hall Basement. Prof. Tolman has done work in experimental psychology and an- imal behavior and has written several books, the last of which was "Drives Toward War" in 1942. Amendments To Key Labor Bill Accepted AFL, CIO Agree With Democrats HOUSTON, Tex. - () - An agreement was reached Wednes- day at an al-night meeting of AFL and CIO officials with ad- ministration leaders in Congress to accept three vital amendments to the Lesinski Labor Bill, the Houston Chronicle said yesterday. President Truman attended the meeting during the early part of the evening, the Chronicle said. * * * ROBERT C. Tucker, chairman of the Harris County Democratic Executive Committee, reported to- day on his return from Washing- ton that he attended the meet- ing. He declared the decisions reached there will be presented to congress by Speaker Sam Ray- burn when the house reconvenes Tuesday, the Chronicle said. Tucker refused to either ad- mit or deny that President Tru- man attended the conference, the newspaper said. The amendments which the la- bor leaders and Democratic con- gressional leaders agreed to ac- cept, according to Hucker, are: * * * GRANT THE President power to halt strikes by court injunction in the interest of public welfare. Require union officials to sign pledges that they are not mem- bers of the Communist party. Require unions to issue financial statements. Tucker said after the agreement had been reached between the top union officials and the congress- men, the union heads called their official membership in Washing- ton into meetings at 9 a.m. Thurs- day. Both the AFL and CIO groups approved the agreement, according to Tucker. SPEAKER Rayburn and House Majority Leader McCormack (D- Mass.) attended the night meet- ing, Tucker said. Tucker said administration congressional leaders are confi- dent the compromise agreement will be accepted and passed in the house. Meanwhile a new three-step compromise for handling national emergency strikes was offered yes- terday as the House took a week- end breather in its furious labor bill debate. A board hearing, a Presidential order and, if necessary, resort to the courts are included in the proposal advanced by Rep. Jacobs (D-Ind.) who has figured actively in the memorial legislative battle. Appoint New Dean at Olivet OLIVET-(P)-A new dean will help carry out educational reforms at Olivet College. He is Joseph D. Bennett, pro- fessor of English who today was appointed dean, replacing James F. Mathias. Mathias, whose resignation is effective June 30, is leaving to take a position with the Guggen- heim Foundation. He said his resignation was not prompted by recent internal dis- sension at the school. He and Bennett were members of a faculty committee which re- cently revamped the school's tu- torial system. The new system is scheduled to go into effect this fall. I New Chiefs Named As Men's Judic Disqualifies Four Evidence Points to Delta Upsilon; Two Candidates Plan To Appeal Charging "obvious fraud," the Men's Judiciary Council disquali- fied four student government candidates yesterday because ballots bearing their names were stuffed in the engine arch ballot box. But at least two of the candidates have decided to appeal their cases. The Men's Judiciary Council will have to decide where the appeal will go, Bill Reitzer, '51L, Council President, said, indicating a re-trial may be necessary. * * * * ALL FOUR CANDIDATES were members of Delta Upsilon frater- nity and circumstantial evidence presented by the Council indicated that the fraternity was guilty of stuffing the box.

Five Killed as Tornadoes Hit Three States By The Associated Press A series of spring tornadoes flailed Texas, Oklahoma and Kan- sas yesterday, killing at least five persons, injuring 85, and dam- aging property up to $2,000,000. The swirling storms destroyed buildings, smashed automobiles and uprooted trees. Many of the twisters were accompanied by tor- rential rain and baseball-sized hailstones. * * * THE DEATHS were at Norman, Meeker, McLoud and Utica, Okla- homa and Bonham, Tex., in addi- tion, a fifth man is missing at Norman, home of the University of Oklahoma. The name of the Norman victim, a national guardsman, was not released by the guard. The latest tornado reported was at Utica, 15 miles southeast of Durant in southeastern Oklaho- ma. Newt Pruitt, 30, was killed when a small tornado struck his farm house. His wife, 28, was crit- ically injured. Nor was guilt pinned on the candidates, but the Council dis- qualified their votes because "the circumstances of their elec- tion is contrary to the best in- terests of student government." The decision was reached in a closed session and revealed in a Statement of Decision, wtih two of the Council's seven members dissenting. * * * CANDIDATES disqualified were Thomas Sparrow, '52, running for SL and Morgan Ramsey, '50BAd, candidate for Union vice-presi- dent for the Combined Schools, both of whom told The Daily they will appeal. Others were Robert Vogel, 151E, and James Morse, '52E, candidates for engineering jun for and sophomore class presi- dencies respectively. Neither could be reached to state wheth- er they will appeal. Barring the results of appeals, Sparrow's seat on the SL will be taken by James Storrie, '51E, who got the highest vote of the un- selected SL candidates, Duane Nuechterlein, '50BAd, chairmanof the SL elections committee re- vealed. SL Candidate Sparrow told The Daily "I had no knowledge of any campaign irregularities. . . . those who should be pun- ished are those who cast the fraudulent votes, not the can- didates who had no knowledge of these irregularities." Don Calhoun, IFC member who placed fraternity poll watchers, told The Daily, "I feel that the candidates have been unduly pun- ished for the misdemeanor of some stupid, unthinking voter." * * * THE EVIDENCE, as stated by the Council, follows: All 44 bad ballots were cast for one of four candidates, all of them DU's. All the bad ballots were cast at the engine arch, where DU's were on duty all day, mainly engaged in punching blots and- placing them in the box. These attend- ants were assigned their posts by a DU who was in charge of plac- ing IFC attendants. * * * MORGAN RAMSAY, one of the candidates in question, is acting DU president. Text of the Council's statement of Decision follows: "Of the irregularities connect- ed with the election of the four particular candidates, some were more numerous than others. It is obvious that a concerted col- lective effort was made to as- sure the election of these men. "The candidates personally may not have actively participated in the obvious fraud nor inded have had any knowledge of it, and no individual guilt has been estab- lished. "NEVERTHELESS, the circum- stances of their election is con- trary to the best interests of stu- dent government, and for that reason the Council has voted to disqualify the candidates." The two dissenting Council members were Jim Smith and Jo- seph Guttentag. Smith dissented only on Sparrow's disqualification. Reds Fail To. Cut Railroads Into Shanghai SHANGHAI - (A) -Shanghai's peril mounted yesterday, but indi- cations that it was cut off by rail from the rest of China proved er- roneous. Railway 'officials announced trains still were running from Shanghai to the supporting city of Hangchow, 121 miles southwest. THEY SAID night trains had been halted, however, and that this led to reports last night no trains were running past Kash- ing, 62 miles southwest of Shang- hai. At the same time, the Tele- communications Administration announced that telephone ser- vice had ceased, to Kunshaa, about 35 miles west of Shanghai. The report that the railwayto Hangchow still was open in no way diminished the threat to Shanghai's land lines to the south. *. * * COMMUNIST TROOPS in early afternoon had been officially re- ported by the Shanghai garrison to be 17 miles northwest of Kash- ing and 23 miles north of the in- portant port of Hangchow, which is 121 miles by rail southwest of Shanghai. Other Communist forces were dallying along the westward ap proaches to Shanghai at a dis- tance of about 35 miles. Although thus threatened, this greatest of Asiatic cities paid al- most no attentioi to the war. * * * INSTEAD, it was preoccupied with a dangerous month-end fi- nancial crisis. To ease the situation, the gar- rison ordered the central bank to sell 400,000 old Chinese silver dol- lars to employers at the rate of 4,000,000 yuan to one dollar. This was less than half the black mar- ket rate. It instructed emlo3ers to pay "common workers" one silver dollar each on account.

He told reporters this step is in order for the Sen- ate Judiciary Committee or the Un-American Activities Commit- tee. Mundt was a member of Un- American activities before shift- ing from House to Senate after the last election.
