See BOX SCORE, Page 3 New Veterans Hospital Faces City Injunction Ann Arbor' s partially-con- structed Veterans Hospital is run- ning into troubles thick and fast. At a preliminary hearing set for Tuesday, attorneys William A. Lucking and Edmund Burke will seek a temporary injunction re- straining the ',ty of Ann Arbor from furi ng water and sewage facilities f or the hospital which is being built just outside the north- east boundary of the city. THE CITY'S ACTION of fur- nishing these services is not in! accordance with existing zoning ordinances, Lucking claimed, and could cause heavy liability to city taxpayers. He added that the prelimi- nary hearing would give home owners an opportunity to make themselves heard on the subject. Luckman's remarks came on the heels of charges by former Sena- tor Prentiss S. Brown, chairman of Michigan's "Little Hoover Cor- mision," that continued construc- tion of the 500 bed hospital was a waste of federal funds. Spring Term Rushing Starts Fraternity rushing for the Attlee Hits Reds' For Cold War By The Associated Press Prime Minister Clement Attlee put full blame on Russia last night for the continued cold war and said the Western Powers stand ready to discuss all "outstanding issues" with the Soviets. He was replying to Winston Churchills' plea for new high-level talks to bridge the gulf between the East and West. Attlee made the final broadcast speech for the Labor Party in London before Thursday's general election. The Prime Minister said that if Russia had accepted Western proposals for control of atomic energy, "this cloud of fear would have been lifted from the peoples, but Russia would not accept."

'Ensian Calls .business Tryout Class Tomorrow Enrollment for a course in practical business methods will be- gin tomorrow at 4 p.m. as the 'En- sian, campus yearbook, holds its first business staff tryout meeting in the Student Publications Build- ing. The course offers no credit hours and no grades will be passed out, according to Dave Shuart, '50, business manager. Honesty in Law Upheld Lawyers are more honest than the average business man, Judge John Simpson told a group of more than 600 legal experts yes- terday. Simpson pointed out that be- cause their work takrs them into courts of law, their actions must be more ethical than those of orfinary bust:ness men. SI.NSON was chairman of a panel consisting of Francis Busch, Chis Youngion and Foy Stein- hefmer, speakers on the programE, who discussed the Ethical Stan- dards of a Trial Lawyer at the closing session of a two day In- stilute of Advocacy held by the Law School. "Flirting" with the jury, the prectice of vinking and smiling at the jurors each time a lawyer wins a point, wa's condo .med ty Simpson. The remainder of the panel believed that a friend- ly, congenial smile in the court room was not out of place, how- ever. THE COURSE is not a "pipe," however. It takes both time and effort, says Shuart, "butthe re- wards, present and future, make it, well worth the effort." Any student eligible for extra- curricular activity may become a tryout. 'Ensian business tryouts receive training in advertising, publicity, salesmanship and accounting. * * * "BUSINESS EXPERIENCE on the 'Ensian provides experience for future businessmen which few campus organizations can match. Shuart declared. The editorial staff of the 'E3- sian has also announced tryout meetings for future yearbook writers and editors. They will begin 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Publications Building.

Although the planning stage of the yearbook is past, experience may be gained this semester in layout, and copy work, according to Miss Johnson.

Americani Admits Guilt In Spy Trial By The Associated Press American businessman Robert A. Vogeler calmly told a people's court in Budapest . yesterday . he was a professional spy and asked for a "mild sentence." Pleading guilty on all counts, the 38-year-old vice president of International Telephone and Tele- graph Company testified he had been instructed to obtain special information aboutdradar, rockets, uranium and oil deposits and to contact experts on atomic energy and help them escape from Hun- gary. "I USED MY business activities only as cover for my espionage work," he testified. Vogeler's wife, awaiting the outcome at Vienna, said, "It is obvious to anyone who knew Bob at all that he has been drugged or subjected to some kind of torture .." Similar expressions of disbelief in Vogeler's confession came from U.S. State Department officials and his business associates. Col. Sosthenes Behn, chairman of I.T.- &T. in New York said dates and alleged activities mentioned in the Vogeler confession were "at var- iance with the known facts."

Thirty political parties and a sprinkling of independents arel battling for control of the House, but the fight is essentially a pri- vate feud between Labor, which held 390 seats in the last House and the Conservatives which had 201. Polls indicate that 12 per cent of the electorate is still chewing the cud of uncertainty and the major efforts of the last - three day's campaigning will be con- centrated on them.

The United Mine Workers' Ro- bena local at Masontown, Pa.- the largest in the union-voted an almost unanimous "no" to John L. Lewis' twice-issued orders to dig coal. Members of at leasi two other locals stalked out d meetings without even voting. - * , * * / PRESIDENT Truman's coal ad- visers gave up hope of a week-en contract agreement. They recessed the talks in their fourth clay, say- ing: "We- are not making the progress we hoped for." They told Mr. Truman so, in an oral but official report. They voiced belief, nevertheless, that a "great many miners" will re- port for duty under the instruc- tions wired by Lewis to all locals last night. So the government stayed it hand for the present. It can see contempt action against the 370,- 000 soft coal workers for striking last Monday in defiance of a Fed- eral cour's stop-strike order. This might end in another huge fine on the Union's treasury. INSTEAD, the White House chose to see whether Monday wil bring resumed production to buik up the nation's fast dwindling coa reserves now down to a critica ten-day average supply. New York City prepared to dim a million bulbs on Broad- way tonight, urder state ra- tioning orders. As of tomorrow, all New Yorkers will need a "cer- tificate of necessity" to buy coal. The Ford Motor Compafiy an- nounced it probably will cut dowr on its heavy production progra unless there is a major improve- ment this weekend. General Mo. tors has cancelled all overtime schedules. FEDERAL OFFICIALS private- ly agreed that drastic action or the strike could not be delayec many days longer. It is possibl this may be sought tomorrow when Lewis and mine owners musi appear for a hearing before Fed- eral District Judge Richmond B Keech. At that hearing Keech will de. cide whether to change his week- old temporary order into an 80- day "national emergency" injunc tion under the Taft-Hartley Act The government could seek, a the same time, a contempt 0 court citation for failure to obe the present order. But there wa no unusual activity at the justic department, and it appeared th government would wait and see.

THE WELL-WROUGHT ERN: Literary Hoax Plot for Amateur Faculty Movie A fantastic literary hoax, and an architecturally confused city provide motion picture material for a crew of eager University in- structors. BAR ROOM SCENE - "The Company" dis- cusses produc- tion techniques in a down town restaurant and bar which pro- vided back- ground f or a scene in their - motion picture. They are, (left to right) Wil- This group of instructors, prin- cipally from the English depart- ment call themselves "The Com-, pany" and have just finished pro- ducing a 16 mm black and white * * * film on the life of Ern Malley. ERN MALLEY is the mythical Australian poet who turned the dazzled literary world on its ear for two months in 1945, until it * * * was discovered that his "Collec- tion of Modern Poetry," had been written by two undergraduate University students during a single afternoon. As producer William Hampton, instructor in the English depart- ment, described it, "The two stu- dents lifted their lines from every conceivable source, trying to discredit modern poetry." The- life of Malley was traced through letters written as part of the hoax. * * * THE PICTURE, titled "The Well Wrought Ern," shows how Malley discovered he had Graves disease, (a thyroid condition restricted al- most exclusively to women) and then whizzed around Australia on his bicycle rejecting all the "good things" in life for the sake of his covers he must die. *I* * OTHER PROPS used included a student garret room and a local beer hall, donated by William Den- houter for the inevitable bar-room scene. Outside shots were photo- graphed in the outskirts of town which, according to Hampton, bears a striking resemblance to Australia. No one in "The Com- pany" has ever been to Austral- ia. The picture, directed by English instructor Robert Chapman, was completed last week. Acting is in pantomine with sound dubbed in. The script, in blank verse, was written by Chapman, and original music was composed by Harvey Gloss of the English department.
