Sander alleged yesterday that the husband of the woman Dr. Sander is accused 'af killing "had nothing to do" with her death, but the doctor's defense counsel succeeded in having the assertion stricken from court records. Dr. Sander is charged with the murder of Mrs. Abbie Borroto, 59. The state claims he killed the woman, who was suffering from cancer, by administering four injections of air into her veins.

Miners Face Contempt of Court Charge Union Plea For No TrialIgnored WASHINGTON - (/P) - John L. Lewis''Union yesterday was or- dered to trial Monday on con- tempt of court charges growing out of the soft coal strike which is daily bringing the nation closer to economic paralysis. Federal Judge Richmond B. Keech wasn't convinced by the United Mine Workers' argument that the judge had illegally issued the no-strike order which 372,000 miners scorned for two weeks. LIKEWISE he brushed aside the union's plea that there should be no trial because each miner was acting individually and disobeying Lewis by not working. The Government, through As- sistant Attorney General H. Graham Morison, drew a pic- ture of growing desperation over the nation and urged the court to use its "full power and ma- jesty" to get digging started again if it finds the union guilty. Previous contempt cases have cost the UMW $2,130,000. Meantime President Truman talked coal in a "routine" way, as Defense Secretary Johnson put it, with his Cabinet at their weekly meeting. * * * BUT THE White House said there would be no new move there yesterday. If there was any hope that mining would resume Monday it lay in the negotiations between the union and the soft coal operators. But this forlorn possibility received a jolt at the close of the day's talks when Cyrus Ching, federal mediation chief, told re- porters: "The situation is exactly the same as it was when these confer- ences started." * * * WHETHER the sweeping impli- cation of this statement meant abajndonment of tentative sug- gestions toward contract terms- or simply that there had been no agreements, was not clear at once. Negotiators will try again to- day for the tenth day. Judge Keech has ordered them to bar- gain and "in good faith." Lewis wasn't present. He left for Springfield, Ill., before the session started when word came of the fatal shooting of a brother, Thom- as A. Lewis, 67. The coroner's of- fice called it a suicide induced by ill health. -Daily-Wally Barth A REAL LIVE REGENT-Roscoe Bonisteel (center) surrounded by students in the Union during the "Meet Your Regents" session.

This means Labor will most likely be unable to establish workir control of the House and so a new election may come soon. THE ONLY WAY to forestall another election would be for tw or more parties to get together in a coalition government. Both majc parties have been outspoken against working together in a peacetir government. Returns from 619 of the country's 625 districts show: Labor, 314 seats * * * * * Students, Regents ConferOver Coffee C t C L L s By AL BLUMROSEN (Daily City Editor) It took a long time, but a select few students finally "Met their Regents" over coffee yesterday in the Union. And both Regents and students seemed to like the meeting. The Regents drifted into the long, red stone room on the Union second Name Student Participants in Forum Debate Four students have been named to square off in a verbal battle ov- er the highly controversial inde- pendent-affiliated issue on the Michigan Forum's initial debate program at 7:30 p.m., March 8, at the Architecture Auditorium. The students, who were chosen by Student Legislature's Michigan Forum committee on the recom- mendation of leaders of major campus organizations, will debate the issue "Affiliated or Indepen- dent: Their Opposing Points of View." * * * NICK DATSKO, '50, president of the Inter-Cooperative Council, and Nancy Holman, '51, president of Stockwell Hall, will speak for the independents.

As Mrs. Vera Baits put it, "I just want to get to know you people." * *.* BUT BY the time the session was well underway, the liquor ban, the closed meeting policy of the Regents and the now defunct po- litical speakers ban had been thoroughly hashed over. Students clustered in groups around individual regents and drifted from group to group. On hand to grease smooth the pro- ceedings was Arther L. Brandon, public relations chief for the University. Also present were the forward wall of the administration with the exception of President Ruth- ven. * * * PROVOST JAMES Adams, Vice- Presidents Marvin Niehuss and Robert Briggs, and Secretary Her- bert G.

Top subject of conversation was, naturally enough, t h e drinking ban. Former. SL Presi- dent John Ryder and .some co- horts cornered Regent Alfred Connable and kept at the ques- tion for half an hour. Former AIM head Walt Hanson hashed over the same issue with Regent J. Joseph Herbert. All the familiar bull-session ar- guments over drinking were hash- ed over, and that was that. A SPOT CHECK of the Regents revealed that they thought that meeting with students was "a fine idea." As Dr. Charles S.Kennedy put it, "This was a good time for the students to find out that we don't have horns, and for us to find out that students don't either." Generally, students present enjoyed the meeting too, but some of them were disappointed because some of the Regents wanted to get to know them as persons rather than discuss "the issues." No definite plans were made for another meeting, but every- one seemed to want one. * * * . REGENTS present were Mrs. Baits, Kennedy, Roscoe Bonisteel, Connable, Herbert, Otto Eckert and Ralph Hayward. Student representatives were on hand from many student activi- ties and residence units.

New Ferris Board Set By Wiliams LANSING-(P)-In an effort to speed the rebuilding of fire-ravag- ed Ferris Institute, Governor Wil- liams appointed members of the board of control for the school four months early yesterday. The Governor named seven members, five of them alumni of the college. An eighth member will be appointed for a four-year term. Williams said he would call the board together soon, probably within a week, to consider at once plans for rebuilding the school. "Michigan's educational system has a definite need and place for this 'opportunity school' riwfl has stood so long as a monument to a great governor, Woodbridge' N. Ferris," Williams said. "The best agency to consider re- building Ferris Institute is the State Board of Control, wlch takes office July 1," the governor said. "So I am appointing seven of the eight members of the board ahead of time. "I will ask them to get to work immediately on a study of future' plans for Ferris Institute." The appointees are Federal Judge Raymond W. Starr of Grand Rapids, Lawrence W. Prakken of Ann Arbor, Eugene A. Ward of Big Rapids, Casey C. Wiggins of Marquette, Dr. Russell B. Nye of Michigan State College, Roy C. Vandercook of East Lansing, Mrs. Bess E. Fishman of Grand Rapids. Ferris To Get Aid From 'U'T The University is making an in- ventory of surplus supplies and equipment in an effort to help Ferris Institute resume school ac- tivities after its big fire of last Tuesday. Ferris Institute is also receiving aid from Michigan State College, Michigan State Normal, and Cen- tral Michigan College. Ferris has already received blackboards, tables and approxi- mately 170,chairs from the Uni versity.

According to University regula-- tions, to be eligible for extra-cur-I ricular activity sophomores, jun- iors and seniors must have com- pieted a minimum of 11 hours of credit the preceding semester with an average of at least "C", and Attorney General William L. Phinney on learning of Wy- "man's statement said "I may save him the trouble." Borroto has held Sander blame- less for his wife's death and called the small town doctor "a wonder- ful man." Earlier, the 13-man jury was told that the 41-year-old defen- dant doctor anticipated only a "reprimand" in the so-called mer- cy killing. A hospital librarian, Miss Jo- sephine Connor, said Sander told the county medical referee "he (Sander) assumed the medical as- sociation probably would repri- mand him for it; tell him not to do it again."

Written by Peggy Goodin, '45, a former member of the local Chi Omega, denied that the Queens are really the Chi Omegas. She said, "I've read the book and I've lived in the house. Believe me, the Queens sorority isn't the exact replica of Chi Omega and Midwestern isn't an exact replica of the University of Mi- chigan." * * * ter was Peggy Goodin's writing in- structor at the University. Her first novel, "Clementine," a Hop- wood award winner, is dedicated to him. * * * DEAN WALTER said that her new book "is probably a fair pre- sentation of the subject of sor- ority living, realistically drawn. In! passages, they would have im- pressed me as forming a more integral part of the story." The pages in question deal with the Queens' racial and religious views as related to their choice of members: "The Queens stood for the Average American Girl, and while it was undoubtedly true that Roman Catholics were Christian, propagandist. She arrives at her decision in an honest fashion and is not pushed to it by any- one but herself unless it might be through her mother's exag- gerated emphasis upon the val- ue of sorority life." He concluded, "With the excep- tion of Liz, I do not find in this
