Wayne Morse with a thump- ing majority that was approach- ing 2 to 1 as counting went on yes- terday. L His margin over conservative farmer DaveHoover was enough that Hoover conceded only four hours after the polls closed in Friday's primary election. But the Democrats, hoping to relax the long-held Republican strangle-hold on Oregon, were in doubt who they had nominated to oppose Morse or for governor. *. * * MORSE WAS considered an al- most certain winner next Novem- ber, because his independent rec- ord will attract many Democratic votes. He has supported much of President Truman's Fair Deal poli- cies. Returns from 1,571 of the state's 2,017 precincts gave Morse 86,590 to Hoover's 47,966. In third place %th 1.915 waq John McBride, a Washington, D.C., House commit- tee clerk who didn't bother to cam- paign.I The Democrats have high hopes of taking over state control this year because they lead in the number of registered voters for the first time. But Oregon hasn't elect- ed a Democratic Senator since 1914, and Oregon was the only one of the 11 western states to vote Republican in the 1948 presiden- tial election. In Tennessee former Republican National Chairman Carroll Reece last night announced his candi- dacy for Tennessee's first Congres- sional district seat which he occu- pied for 24 years. One of the hottest political scraps of this election year shaped up with the simultaneous an- nouncement for reelection by in- cumbent Dayton Phillips. Reece and Phillips have been at " outs since the latter won the nom- ination for the seat Reece vacated in 1946 to become GOP chairman. The issue will be settled in the Aug. 3 Republican primary. U.S. Observes First Armed ForcesDay By The Associated Press Americans celebrating "Armed Forces Day" centered their biggest shows of unified strength and highly polished teamwork in Washington and Berlin yesterday. President Truman reviewed a 70-minute parade of 6,500 mem- bers of the four services beneath chill, gray skies to open Washing- ton's observance of the first Arm- ed Forces Day. Later, 140 military planes of the latest types from B-36 atom bomb- ers to darting jet fighters thun- dered over the city and nearby Bolling Air Force Base where scores of thousands gathered to see land, sea and air combat equip- ment displayed. * * * IN. BERLIN, Germans by the thousands watched a token show of American military strength in parades. Top American brass and civil- ian officials watched a parade of 2,000 infantry, constabulary and S military police troops in Berlin. U.S.authorities have not admit- ted that the show was intended to chill the ardor of the 500,000 Com- munist youth in their demonstra- tion next week. But U.S. High Commissioner John J. McCloy declared: "The presence of our armed forces in Germany and the potential See Picture, Page 7 strength of our armed might gives pause to any nation which would seek to force its oppression on un- willing people."

After the change has been com- pleted, the school will still offer a basic program in Detroit, and will work in coordination with the different social agencies of that city. * * * "THIS ACTION by the Board of Regents is a recognition of the importance of social work as a field of public service," President Ruthven declared. "It is also a recognition of the continuing need for specialized training for professional service in this field." By locating the headquarters of the School ofsSocial Work in Ann Arbor, resources of such branches of the University as the School of Public Realth, the Med- ical School, the School of Educa- tion, the Institute of Public Ad- ministration, the Neuropsychia- tric Institute and the economics and sociology departments will be made more easily accessible, Pres- ident Ruthven added. Further study of the organiza- tion of the school and the de- velopment of its educational facil- ities will be carried on during the next six months, President Ruth- ven said. World News Roundup By The Associated Press Britain and the United States agreed yesterday in London to work even closertogether in their efforts to tell the people behind the Iron Curtain about the west- ern world. Meanwhile in Washington for- eign policy leaders in Congress ap- pealed for political unification of Western Europe. NEW YORK - Secretary of Defense Johnson said last night that American scientists are making progress on secret de- vices "to neutralize the effective- ness of mass destruction wea- pons." WASHINGTON-The State De- partment charged last night that Senator McCarthy had deliber- ately misquoted a Congressional report to imply falsely that loyalty files were wide open to anyone in the Department. * * * JAMES H. ROBERTSON, of the English department, was appointed assistant dean of the Literary col- lege effective July 1. Robertson, who in addition to his teaching is serving as acting resident director of the West Quadrangle during the absence of Peter Ostafin, will replace Dean Charles M.

South Amboy Area Virtual Minefield Hold Little Hope For Lost Men SOUTH AMBOY, N.J. - (/P) - Men with mine detectors moved cautiously along the shell-littered waterfr6nt last night in search of some trace of 22 men still missing in the South Amboy munitions dis- aster. Four bodies already have been recovered. Hundreds were injured. Rescue workers conceded there was practically no possibility of finding any of the missing still alive. * * * SIX HUNDRED TONS of explo- sives had roared into the air in one terrifying rumble that was heard in three states. The ex- plosives were being loaded from freight cars onto barges to be shuttled to a ship waiting out in lower New York Bay. All the 22 missing men had been at work on the loading operation on the South Amboy waterfront. Their foreman, who had walked away from the site when the pier behind him rose up in one spout of black smoke and flame, said he turned and suddenly could find no one. The foreman, Austin Stotle of South Amboy, was the principal witness yesterday before an official Coast Guard board of inquiry. He told them he saw nothing unusual about the area just before the blast and had no reason to suspect sabotage. THE BOARD of inquiry was told that 9,000 cases of military anti- personnel and anti-tank mines and 2,000 boxes of dynamite had gone up in the blast. Some of the munitions had been rained onto the city still unexploded, turning the area in- to a treacherous mine field with all the dangers of a front-line combat zone. Sound trucks toured the town to warn residents to watch where they walked and not to touch any strange objects. Army Engineers combed the area with their electri- cal detectors in search of the un- exploded mines, each of them nor- mally capable of killing a man or blowing up a car on contact. The blast at 6:25 p.m. (EST) Friday night was heard in three states - New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. 'Ensian A vailablc Students who have not yet picked up their 1950 'Ensian may do so from 3 to 5 p.m. to- morrow and from 4 to 5 p.m. through Friday, according to Jo Ann Lyons, distribution man- ager. -Daily--Ed Kozma GONE TO THE DOGS-A dog named Cain surveys the empty desolation of the Gargoyle office after the Board in Control of Student Publications announced that publication of the 41-year-old humor magazine would be discontinued after a final issue to appear this semester. Sign of the board says "Do not fall dead at the drop of an axe." * * * A* * * * Gargoyle Folds Aifter 41 Years Of Laughter By DAVE THOMAS Gargoyle has had its last laugh., The 41-year-old campus humorI magazine succumbed, apparently of natural causes, at the weekend meeting of the Board in Control of Student Publications. * * * .> FINANCIAL difficulties and a lack of student interest were cited by the board as reasons for the muffling of Gargoyle's raucus, often ribald voice. The question of good taste concerning some of the editorial matter did enter into the deci- sion, the board admitted, but the 'deciding factors were said to be the fact that the magazine was not paying its way and that an "inadequate" number of stu- dents were interested in staff positions. Gargoyle will have one last snicker, however. The final issue of the magazine which is at present in the hands of the printers will appear on campus sometime before the end of the semester, according to managing editor Brian Duff, '50. See GARGOYLE, Page 8 Negro Fund Drive A campaign to raise $90,000 in Michigan for the United Negro College Fund will open Thursday in Detroit. David W. Lee, general chair- man of the drive, remarked that the state goal is $13,000 higher than last year due to larger en- rollments in Negro Colleges. The national goal is $1,400,000 for 32 colleges and universities.

Fourteen Democratic amend- ments attempting to increase over- all totals were defeated. Among the defeated amend- ments was one which would have increased the University grant from $11,572,945 to $12,500,000. The passed bill represents a cut of approximately $2,000,000 from the $13,870,000 the University request- ed for operating expenses, * * * THE LEGISLATURE adjourned after leaving the state at least $20,000,000 in the red for the next fiscal year and little of Governor Williams' political-potent program enacted into law. The budget is $15,000,000 be- low this year's operating costs- itself a unique trend-and $73,- 000,000 below the future which Gov. Williams has contended is necessary for the minimum op- eration of state government and institutions. At the last minute the Republi- can-controlled Legislature backed away from a plan to recess until Dec. 30 instead of adjourning in the normal fashion. Instead it ad- journed until June 20 without set- ting the constitutional sine die ad- journment date - this leaving a long recess still a possibili;t. m Thus the Legislature will return June 20 and either quit for good or adjourn until August or Decem- ber. ANGERED at the way in which the long recess was passed in the House caused the strong Demo- cratic minority to block suspension of the rules so that the House could act on Senate amendments to the $87,000,000 school aid bill, often a Friday-night stumbling bloc. Unable to force their way past the stubborn minority, the House had the bill recalled to the Senate and the troublesome amendments removed. Since the House had passed the bill in its original form, it was ready for the Governor's signa- ture. With exception of a con- increase the bill is unchanged from this year. Mindful of the approaching elec- tion, the GOP gave Gov. Williams only seven of the 26 proposals he submitted to the lawmakers when he summoned them to his first special session March 15 and i, subsequent messages. 55 Killed in German Coal MineBlast GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany - O)-An explosion ripped through the Dahlbusch Coal Mine near here yesterday, killing 55 miners and injuring 39 others. That was the official count early today when all miners who had been working in' the 3,022-foot deep seam had been accounted for by rescue squads. More than 300 miners were at work when the blast, attributed to a gas accumulation known as fire- damp, occurred. Officials said many men died in- stantly from terrible burns, while others were suffocated. Many of the injured were severely' burned. It was West Germany's worst coal mine accident since the Grim- berg Disaster of 1946, in which 329 died. Mine officials said it was feared that some of the 39 injured might Managing editor of "Genera- tion" for 1950-51 will be Louis Or- lin, '51, of Ann Arbor.

'BORN YESTERDAY' TOMORROW: Broadway Stars Praise University Dramatics By DAVID WEAVER A university training in drama- tics is much better than that given in professional dramatic schools where the would-be actor soon be- comes self conscious and unnatur- al in his stage technique, explained Joan Morgan and Scott McKay, two of the top stars in "Born Yes- terday," opening tomorrow at Ly- dia Mendelssohn. The professional schools are too often taught by disappointed ac- tors and directors while in schools like the University, the instructors are deeply interested in and really | * * * * * * i show. Her tryout for the part pleased the producers and she got the female lead in Garson Kanin's comedy. * * * -BILLY DAWN, a luscious blond with a baby doll voice and phy- sique who during the play express- es surprise that "the proper study of mankind is man" should have come from the Vatican, is Miss Morgan's favorite role. One critic dubbed her "a per- fect choice" for the part. In reality she resembles Billy Dawn in all respects except being dumb. New York is the toughest town to play, Miss Morgan thinks, be- cause it is the mecca of the thea- trical arts. * * * GARSON KANIN': comedy is the story of the fall of a heavy mannered thug, Brock (played by John Alexander) who believes that money and the strong arm meth- ods which brought him the title of "Junk King" can also bring him the government. Thus he travels to Washing- ton to buy Senators and the power they wield. ~.
