LX, No. 143 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN SUNDAY, APRIL 30, 1950 EIGHT PAGES McCarthy's Charges Hit By Marshall Says Accusations Undermine U.S. WASHINGTON -- (P) -Gen. - George C. Marshall declared last night that Senator McCarthy's charges of Communism-in-the- Governnient "undermine and weaken our position before the world and actually lend assist- ance to powers that would destroy us." us"* * * MARSHALL, former Secretary of State,'joined at the same time with two men who preceded him in that post - Cordell Hull and James F. Byrnes - and with the present Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, in sharply denying Mc- Carthy's assertion that Owen Lat- timore is "the principal architect of our Far Eastern policy." Mc- Carthy contends that policy be- trayed China to Russia. Their statements formed one of two major developments today in connection with a Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee's inquiry into McCarthy's accusations. In the other action, Chairman Tydings (D-Md) of the investi- gating group ordered contempt citations prepared against two witnesses who refused to answer a series of questions. The com- mittee will decide later whether to seek formal court action. The witnesses were Earl Browd- er, former Communist Party lead- er, who objected that he was be- ing subjected to a "fishing ex- pedition," and wealthy Frederick Vanderbilt Field, who wouldn't say whether he is a Communist, and turned aside many other questions, generally on grounds of possible self incrimination. * *4 MEANWHILE in Des Moines, Ia., Henry Wallace put forward a 30-billion-dollar-a-year plan to end the cold war. He said Presi- dent Truman and Stalin should confer to get it going. The former Vice President said his plan - which calls for "a new and more powerful World Bank" - should be linked with close U.S.-Russian coop- eration in the United Nations. Unless some such action is taken, Wallace said, the alterna- tive is a global economic smashup in 1952 and the probable rise somewhere of "a greater Hitler." HE CALLED on this country to give $10 billion a year to a "World Bank" which he wants the UN to sponsor. Wallace's remarks were pre- and China would be borrowing from the Bank in a big way." Walace's remarks were pre- pared for delivery at a closed ses- sion of the Prairie Club, a group of prominent Des Moines men who meet monthly to discuss current affairs. The 1948 Progressive Party can- lidate for president said the world's hope lies in cooperation by the U.S., Britain, Russia and Chi- na within the UN framework. Pupils join Teachers in Wage Strike By The Associated Press More than 22,000 Newt York City public school students are striking for higher wages for their teachers. The strike came as a result of the teachers' refusal to supervise after-school a cti v it i es unless granted an annual increase in pay of $650. DUE TO THE FACT that ac- tivities such as dances and sport- ing events can't be held unless a teacher is present, the students promptly rallied behind their teachers and went on strike. Tuesday about 400 pupils marched across the Brooklyn Bridge and demanded an au- dience with Mayor O'Dwyer. The Mayer didn't see them and they announced that they would be back. Thursday 3,000 pupils marched into City Hall Park where they were greeted by hastilyerected police barricades.

WASHINGTON-The Air Force has dropped a hint that prog'ress is being made toward a new in- tercontinental weapon - a plane that will stay outside an enemy's defenses and send a guided mis- sile hundreds of miles to the tar- get. Such a combination is regarded by the Air Force as one answer to improvements being made in fighter and antiaircraft defenses against bombing planes. school's College of Arts and Sciences. An expert in the field of per- sonnel policy, Dean Woodburn has handled appointments, pro- motions and budget administra- tion for the literary college since he was appointed associate dean in 1945. He is also secretary of the executive committee of the college and was in charge of administering the student eva- luation of faculty services which was inaugurated here last year. The University of Washington where Dean Woodburne will head the 8,000-student arts and sciences college, is the second largest -uni- versity on the west coast with a total enrollment of 16,000. * * * DEAN WOODBURNE graduated from the University in 1929, but remained to earn his masters of art and doctor of philosophy de- grees. After a year of study at the University of Berlin, he return- ed to Ann Arbor where he en- tered the dean's office, rising to assistant dean in 1939. Working in the dean's office he soon became convinced that the strength of a college lay in its faculty, so he began to study per- sonnel policy. * * * HIS AFFABLE, efficient admin- istration earned him a promotpn to associate dean in 1945. Two years ago he conducted a study of personnel problems in 46 American colleges and uni- versities under a grant from the Carnegie Corporation. This work was recently publish- ed under the title, "Faculty Per- sonnel Policies in Higher Educa- tion." * * * AT PRESENT he is engaged in making a part-time study of fac- ulty personnel policies for the Board of Higher Education of New York City. With the announcement of Dean Woodburne's appointment came a statement from Dean Hayward Keniston of the lit- erary college: "Mr. Woodburne's decision to accept the appointment at the University of Washington is ano- ther heavy blow to the literary college. "During the 17 years that he has served the college he has had a major part in developing its ad- ministrative policies and proce- dures. * * * "BY HIS WRITING he has won a national position in the field of faculty personnel problems. "Thoe of us who have worked with him honor and respect him for his courage, his clear mind and his integrity. Michigan is losing a loyal alumnus; his colleagues are losing a loyal friend. The Unir- sity of Washington is gaining a real educational leader." The Woodburnes and their thre young children will leave Ann Arbor for Seattle in Septem- ber. West Berlin Prepares for Red May Day Allied Troops Ready To Enter By The Associated Press Nearly 8,000 American, French and British troops are on guard in the Allied Sectors of Berlin as protective forces are being geared to shooting war alertness for the critical May Day celebration. Three thousand other troops, stationed in West Germany, are under orders to be ready to fly to this divided city in the Soviet Zone if the need arises. They could make the trip in two hours. * * * THIS MEANS Moscow will have competition for the spotlight on May Day, labor's traditional in- ternational holiday. Defense preparations in Ber- lin were touched up by the ar- rival of two U.S. Air Force heli- copters at the Tempelhof Air Base yesterday. An official an- nouncement said they will en- gage in "orientation flying prior to participation in cere- monies on National Defense Day, May 20." It is no secret, however, that this flying will include patrols of the city limits across which Com- munist bands presumably might march. The boundary between West Berlin and the Soviet Zone territory surrounding it stretches more than 70 miles. * * * IF EAST German Communists live up to their recent public pro- mises, May will be a month of hot words but not a hot war. They have taken back their threats to "occupy all Berlin" and are now saying they will stick to the Russian sector of the city and avoid provocations in the West. May Day will be the first test. The biggest will come during the Whitsun Weekend, May 27-29, when 500,000 members of the Communist-led Free German Youth are supposed to rally here. Latest Allied intelligence re- ports indicate that the building up of West Berlin's defenses has cowed Red strategists and con- vinced them they must limit them- selves to propaganda spectacles instead of risking a real putsch. Clocks Set Ahead By FiftyMillion Some 50,000,000 Americans set their clocks ahead at 2 a.m. today as many parts of the nation went on daylight saving time. Although most of the nation's large cities went on the "summer time" Detroit did not make the change. The shift in time will cause a reshuffling in transportation schedules and radio broadcasting.

It was the first break in the overall fight for wage increases. A Union spokesman said the agreement did not include a general wage increase but "was the best contract we could ob- tain." The Company said the agree-- ment cleared up "certain wage in- equities." Among the provisions, the Com- pany said, were higher wage rates for some towns, and shortening "the period for certain employes to reach top rates."

Murnan started his collection in 1917, when, as a stage-struck youth, he received an autograph album from Otis Skinner, who had penned his name across the fly leaf. AT THAT TIME, Murnan's father was in the hotel and theatrer business and was one of the owners of the only legitimate theatre in Ann Arbor.' In those days there were no "second companies," and original Broadway stars made the road tours, Murnan explained. Ann Arbor drew all the big names, and they all stayed at the senior, To City's * * Golden Memories most of the money-raising projects for the construction of the League, started the Drama Festival in conjunction with her son Robert., Mrs. Henderson knew of Murnan's interest in the theatre %n asked him to work as treasurer for the Drama Festival box office, a position he's held ever since.
