THE GUN gee Page 1 LITl r e KrV 6 A6V ,43 a t t RAIN ENDING TONIGHT Latest Deadline in the State VOL. LIX, No. 91 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1949 PRICE FIVE CENTS Vatican Hits Mindszenty Trial Anew Charge Outrage Against Church VATICAN CITY -- (P) - Pope Pius XII yesterday attacked the trial of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty as rigged and an outrage against the Roman Catholic church. He declared that Catholics should resist man-made laws "in- consistent with divine and human rights." IN AN ADDRESS before a se- cret and Extraordinary Consistory of the College of Cardinals, the Pontiff charged that Hungary's Communist-dominated govern- ment sought "to disrupt the Cath- olic Church" there by striking at Cardinal Mindszenty. The Pope expressed the belief that confessions made in. a Budapest courtroom by Cardi- nal Mindszenty were wrung from him. The physical condi- tion and behavior of thecHun- garian primate appeared to be an accusation "against his very accusers and condemners," the Pope said. Speaking in sorrow, Pope Pius warned that "those who rashly dare to trample upon the liberty of the Church and the rights of human conscience, may at length understand that no civil society can endure when religion has been suppressed and God, as it were, driven into exile. Cardinal' Mindszenty was con- victed last Tuesday on charges of treason, spying and black market money dealings. In his address to- day Pope Pius deplored the "su- preme indignity" visited on the Cardinal who was doomed "like a criminal to life imprisonment."

Daily To Poll CampusToday Twelve-hundred University stu- dents will be the subjects today for a market sur'vey to be conducted by the business staff of The Daily. Students to be interviewed will be selected proportionally from the more important segments of the campus population-married or unmarried, affiliated or inde- pendent, etc. Among the more important things the survey is expected to reveal are: student interests, ac- tivities, purchasing power, buying habits, and reading and radio lis- tening habits. Because of the completeness of the survey, and its consequent length, interviewers have stated the need for cooperation from those who are approached.

Prof. Morris Greenhut of the ADA To Unravel PoliticalAlphabet Local Group Orientation Meeting To Be Opened by Prof. Slosson Prof. Preston Slosson and leaders of nine local groups will attempt to unscramble the campus political alphabet at a meeting of the Americans for Democratic Action at 7:30 p.m. today in the ABC Rm. of the Michigan League. Prof. Slosson will open the Political Orientation Program with a talk explaining the place and function of campus political groups. FOLLOWING THIS, a representative from each organization will explain the basic beliefs, stands, and projects of the respective groups. "The main campus groups have for some time caused much con- fusion as to the exact position o U.S. Needs 3,000 Mile Proving Site Seek New Test Area for Rockets WASHINGTON - (P) - New strides in the conquest of space by rockets make it necessary for the United States to have a 3,000 mile proving ground for launch- ing such weapons, Congress was told today. Cost of providing such a test area would be $200,000,000. Military and scientific authori- ties said that this country will have rockets this year capable of traversing 500 miles, and that eventually their horizontal range may be extended to 5,060 mules. THE OFFICIALS testified be- fore a House Armed Services sub- comrruttee on the necessity of creating the broadened test range. The testimony prompted spec- ulation that American scientists have finally surpassed Ger- many's V-2 effort. The Army, Navy and Air Force have been experimenting with rockets of American design for many months, but until today's disclosure there was nothing to in- dicate they had beaten the V-2. Asked for comment, an air force spokesman told a reporter: "That's classified (secret) in- formation to say definitely that we have passed the German hori- zontal range. But," he added, "it's not a bad deduction." THE AIR FORCE expert ex- plained that the 500-mile range cited by military witnesses before Congressrieferred to the hori- zontal distance. He said the Ger- man horizontal record, achieved by a V-2 during World War II, was 250 miles. 'U'ROTC Men To AMissDraft After a lengthy "sweating out" period, campus ROTC students have been informed that all mem- bers from both beginning and ad- vanced sections will be eligible for deferment, providing they achieve passing grades on a quali- fying examination. Affecting army and air force units, the quota allotted the Uni- versity provides that a maximum of 510 ROTC men be deferred un- til the end of their college careers, ROTC head, Col. Karl E. Henion announced. All members eligible for defer- ment will take the qualifying test from Feb. 21 to 25, and the grades will be compiled in order of su- periority soon after. f each group and the differences between them," Quentin Fulcher, ADA chairman, said. "We hope that a meeting of this type will clarify the picture, and enable interested students to choose among them," he add- ed. The organizations which will participate in tonight's discussion are: Americans for Democratic Action, American Veterans Com- mittee, Inter-Racial Association, United Nations Council, United World Federalists, Young Demo- crats, Young Progressives of America, and Young Republicans. THE PROGRAM has already received the support of several campus leaders. Jim Jans, Stau- dent Legislature president, called it "an excellent idea." "Not enough students, who are voters or potential voters, allow themselves to stand up and be counted on the vital po- litical issues that arise through- out the year," Jans said. "This meeting is a capsule com- mentary on campus political life, and should be used by the stu- dents as a springboard for partici- pating in organized political ac- tion," said Tom Walsh, now serv- ing his third term on SL, an ac- tive participant in other groups. TenSubmit Guilty Pleas In Ypsilanti Press Numbers Racket Charges Carl Warlix, Willow Village res- ident, pleaded not guilty last night in Circuit Court to a charge of maintaining and operating a gam- bling house, but ten others plead- ed guilty to charges of possessing policy tickets. The court scene followed a num- bers racket raid Saturday on the home of Warlix, when 17 Village and Ypsilanti residents were jail- ed. Sheriff's officers called the raid one of the most successful in Washtenaw County history. NO STUDENTS were appre- hended in the raid. Investigations continue on possible connections of other Villagers with the racket. The ten guilty parties had waived examination yesterday morning in Municipal Court, which levied $25 fines on four others accused of frequenting a gambling place. Charlie Pough, Willow Village, admitted his guilt on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was fined $50 and sentenced to 30 days in jail by Municipal Judge Francis O'Brien. An alternate sentence adds 30 more days in jail if the fine is not paid. P"OUGIIwas charged with send- ing an eight-year-old boy with policy tickets to Warlix's house. Sgt. Charles Shaw of the Sher- iff's office led the raid, in which state and local officers assisted. He said the Warlix house, under observation for about six months, had operated as an independent numbers house and also forward- ed larger bets to gamblers in De- troit.

Williams, Harvard economist. "Recollecting on Keynesian Eco- nomics," at a meetin~g of the Eco- nomics Club at Rackham last night, Prof. Williams pointed to the economic predictions based on Keynes which failed to develop. * * * THE KEYNESIAN theory, based on the Quantity of Money theory, is that money exerts an influence over output and employment. Prof. Williams pointed to the effect of monetary expansion on prices rather than increased output as Keynes believed. "Keynesian economics assumes prices are static or neutral," Prof. Williams explained. "DOUBTS ABOUT Keynesian economics are on the Consump- tion function," Prof. Williams said. "Why should we depend on in- vestment? Why can't consump- tion recreate income? "Replacing capital with im- proved capital is more dynamic than expanded investment. We don't need to worry about a growing investment. We must worrk about income." "Capital gain, distribution of income, have been some of the post-war questions casting doubts on the theory. Unemployment, according to Keynes economics was to be 5 million. Consumption couldn't go on up. But these pre- dictions were wrong," he conclud- ed. PROF. WILLIAMS will speak today on "European Recovery- the Outlook for the Marshall Plan" at 4:15 p.m. at Rackham Amphitheatre. SiX Students Found Guilty OfCheatino - In a tense, three-hour session last night, the Engineering Honor Council found six students guilty of violating the engineering school honor system during final exami- nations last semester. The Council, which was reacti- vated last year to put teeth into the enforcement of the honor sys- tem, recommended that the Uni- versity Disciplinary Committee place five of the students on the warning list and the other on pro- bation. IN ADDITION, it was recom- mended that two of the students be given "E" grades for the courses in which they violated the honor system. A verdict in the case o two de- fendants was postponed pending further investigation, while two others were cleared of the charges. When possible, the instruc- tors indicated the student they believed guilty of copying and stated the reasons for their be- lief. (Under the honor system, however, anyone who knowingly allows another student to copy his work is also held respon- sible. In each case, the defendant was made familiar with the charges against him, presented with the evidence, and allowed to defend himself. Bruce Lockwood, '49E, presi- dent of the Council, emphasized that this trial represented a re- turn to student control of the en- gineering honor system which has been a tradition on campus since 1916. Hannah Makes Offer To Lend Staff Experts EAST LANSING-R)-An offer has been made to lend staff tech- nicians of the nation's land grant colleges to assist President Tru- man's program of help for back- ward nations. The offer was made by Presi- dent John A. Hannah of Michigan State College, President of the Association of Land Grant Col- leges and Universities, in letters to President Truman and Secre- tary of State Dean Acheson. Fifty-three colleges making up the association, Hannah said, are ready to make available agricul- tural experts, engineering special- ists, homemaking teachers and educators of all types to carry out Truman's "point four" program announced in his inauguration address. From a crowded room on the Union's third floor, six members of the Union Opera Promotions Committee have launched a far- reaching promotions campaign-a campaign that will eventually in- volve newspapers, radio stations, alumni clubs, television, and may- be even soda fountains. With the opera less than six weeks away, Bill Zerman, promo- tions committee chairman, and his five inspired coworkers have al- ready contacted newspapers and radio stations throughout the Midwest. THEY'VE SENT speakers to alumni clubs in Michigan and Ohio. Some of the clubs have hinted that they might charter buses to come here for the show, to be held on March 23, 24, and 25 at the Michigan Theatre. And with the hope of bringing the opera a little closer to the campus, committee members have approached the city's druggists with the idea of a spe- cial "Froggy Bottom Sundae." Invitations have been sent out to Govs. G. Mennen Williams and Thomas E. Dewey to attend the show. Gov. Dewey acted in one of the earliest operas. DORM PRESIDENTS and sor- orities and fraternities will be con- tacted in an effort to interest house groups in attending the show in a block. Fred Waring, who expressed in- terest in the show's student- written songs, has been sent copies of the numbers, and will consider them for use on his program.

HIGH-PRESSURE MEN: Promotions Crew Opens Union Opera Ca Vandenberg, Connally Hit. 'Moral' Ties Question Extent Of Atlantic Pact WASHINGTON - R) -Bi-par- tisan foreign policy leaders of the U.S. Senate served notice that they would not stand for any "moral" commitment to go to war in the North Atlantic Security treaty. The proposed treaty, intended to bulwark the west against attack from Russia, is being -negotiated now by the U.S., Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. THE WARNING that the U.S. could not be committed in advance to fight in case of an attack on a European- nation was given by chairman Connally (Dem., Tex.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and former chairman Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.). They spoke out in the Senate after Sen- ator Donnell (Rep., Mo.) had raised the question. Donnell cited an Associated Press dispatch, which recited the points Secretary of State Acheson was understood to have made in a recent talk with for- eign Minister Halvard Lange of Norway. One of these points was that, although only Congress can de- clare war, the U.S. government would subscribe to the principle that an attack on one signatory to the treaty would be an attack on all. This would be interpreted, it was said, as a moral commitment to fight.$ Donnell said: "I want to protest here and now about our country's being subject to any moral commitment under which Congress would be bound to declare war." * * * CONNALLY SAID he would not favor any lanuguage in the pro- posed security agreement "which would morally commit us to fight." The Texas Senator said he and Vandenberg have been "making it very plain to the Secretary of State" that the Foreign Relations Committee "would not approve of any sort of language in an international agreement which would commit us to go to war when some other country in Europe might be at- tacked." "Any European nation might attack another nation, not merely the one country about which we hear so much talk," Connally said in an obvious reference to Russia. Vandenberg said he exects the pact to reserve to Congress "the complete right of decision on what to do about an armed attack." cago Sun-Times might do pic- ture stories on the musical. ."We think the show will be a big success," said Zerman. "If it is, there's a chance it might go on the road," he said. ... Some of the early operas toured the East, drawing capacity crowds, Zerman said. A DETROIT TV station has promised cooperation in promoting the show. Members of the promotions committee are Zerman, Harry Mindell, Tom Cramer, Jerry Mehl- man, Bob Russell and Burt Shif- man. Zerman, a veteran promotions man and 'Ensian Sales Man- ager, advised students to order tickets early. Mail orders, which are now being accepted, should be sent to Froggy Bottom, Mich- igan Union. Ticket prices are $1.20, $1.80, and $2.40. Orders will be record- ed according to date-received and will be filled before March 7 when tickets go on sale in the Union lobby. Free Cigarettes Distribution of free cigarette samples and plastic cases will1con- tinue today and tomorrow in the League and the Union. Students desiring the samples must bring their ID cards.

Reds, Fascists Will Not Disrupt Italian Democra cy.... Treves _______ 0. TAGS FOR TB STRICKEN: WSSF Official Will Launch Campus Fund Drive "Fascists or Communists will not disrupt democracy in *Italy again," said Dr. Paole Treves, member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. Sent as an exchange speaker for the Institute of International Edu- cation, Dr. Treves spoke yester- day afternoon in Rackham Amphi- theatre, under the auspices of the history department. A COMMON democratic front against Communism has been formed by Christian democrats, right wing socialists, liberals and republicans, he said. "The Marshall Plan was a turning point in European his- tory and this party coalition represents a firm foundation from which Italy can carry out its responsibilities under the plan," Dr. Treves asserted. Italian April elections were greatly affected by U.S. aid, which gave hope to the democratic ele- ment in Italy and encouragement to the people who were concerned about reconstruction, he said. doing her share of rehabilita- tion. The Berlin blockade is a living example to the Italian people that the West can be counted on to take a firm stand against Russian tactics, he said. Slayer Gets Life Sentence Kenneth Basha of Dearborn was sentenced to life imprisonment last night in Circuit Court for the September slaying of a Dearborn cabbie near Willow Village. Basha's accomplice, Willard Swartout, also of Dearborn, has secured a new attorney, and his case is due to come up in two weeks. Basha shot Francis R. Andrews in the driveway of a lonely farm- house near the Village during an attempted holdup, in which Swartout assisted Basha.
