Lewis' labor unity parade yesterday and proposed that they set up a war chest with the AFL to fight strike battles of all unionized labor. This was the day's top development in the big steel and coal strikes. Murray's United Steelworkers spread their free pension strike to some steel fabricators and made ready to hit aluminum next. More than a million already are idle in the doubleheader strikes with no peace, only industrial grief in sight. * * * * MURRAY SAID his steelworkers and "I am sure other equally minded affiliates" of the CIO R f eds Reach H .ong Kong; TakeI Canton Nationalists Mov Into Chungking HONG KONG-(A)-The Ch nese Communists last night con pleted the occupation of Canto and reached the border of ti British colony of Hong Kong.

ROLLICKING REHEARSAL: Playful Choir BOys Keep Master Occupied By PHOEBE FELDMAN You have to be more than a musician' if you are going to be a successful choirmaster for the 20 Vienna Choir Boys. Watching them in rehearsal yesterday, we saw that Kapell- meister Harald Hedding kept a strict hand over the 10 to 13 year old boys while they went through their program for that night's performance. STILL, while the Kapellmeister wasn't looking, two of the boys managed to come on stage with switches garnered from the bushes out behind Hill Auditorium, and another boy, Peter Eberhart, kept jumping down from the edge of the stage on which he was sitting into the empty orchestra-and back up again. Others sprawled out in their chairs, and tested the spring in the second row boards set up for them. (It was rather good.) Even within sight of Hedding, Hans Windisch, one of the old- est boys, took Hedding's ciga- rette lighter and proceeded to test it by seeing if it would make his switch burn. However, the wood had not yet ignited when the flame caught the Kapell- meister's eye and the lighter was retrieved. Hedding's method for keeping the boys from getting lost in their trek across the continent is very simple. "All the boys stay together all the time," he said. "If one boy goes for a drink, all the boys go for a drink," he remarked. "ANOTHER thing you have to be firm about is ice-cream," he remarked. "If the boys could have their way, they would have break- fast, lunch and 'dinner of ice- cream. I had to make a rule: 'ice- cream-only one time a day'," Hedding stated. Petitions Be Available For Elections" Petitions for hopefuls in the student elections in November are available from 3 to 5 p.m. tomor- row through Oct. 26 at the stu- dent window of the Administra- tion Building, according to SL elections chairman Bill Clark. Petitions are needed by candi- dates for 25 Student Legislature seats, nine J-Hop Committee posi- tions and three places on the Board in Control of Student Pub- lication, Clark said. Deadline for petitioners is Oct. 26. CLARK urged that petitioners acquaint themselves with qualifi- cations for office and the correct way to fill petitions. Last year 52 out of 107 peti- tions were thrown out by Men's Judiciary Council because of discrepancies in petition signa- tures. Among such discrepancies were illegal and dunlicated DP Measure KnockedbOut By Senate Bill Returned to ju diciaryGroup WASHINGTON--(J)-The Sen- ate voted tonight to shelve the displaced persons bill for this sea- son. The vote was 36 to 30. Adopting a motion by Senators Cain (R-Wash.) and Eastland (D- Miss.), the Senate sent the hotly- disputed measure back to its ju- diciary committee with instrue- tibns that it be returned for action by next January 25. * * * THE BILL, passed by the House and a prime feature of President Truman's program, would increase by 134,000 the number of displaced persons to be admitted to the U.S. and change the rules. Tonight's vote removed one of the stumbling blocks in the way of proposed adjournment of Con- gress next week. It marked a bitter defeat for Senator Lucas of Illinois and oth- er administration leaders who had demanded action on this session on revising the present law. Presi- dent Truman has attacked that law as "anti-Catholic and anti- semitic." * * * THE SENATE'S action added up to a personal viotory for Chairman McCarran (D-Nev.) of the Judi- ciary Committee who hid fought to delay consideration of the mea- sure untilnext year. However, Senator Myers of Pennsylvania, the assistant Democratic leader, told report- ers tonight's vote did not repre- sent Senate sentiment on the bill itself. Predicting overwhelming pas- sage of the measure in January, Myers said many Senators who fa- vor it were willing to put off a showdown until then to prevent a delay in adjournment of Congress. GIVE-AWAY SHOWS: Quiz Programs Lower Integrity--Radio Expert By PETER HOTTON The big network give-away and, quiz programs are the best pos- sible sources of listener appeal. and radio prestige, but for integri- ty of radio, they are a cheap at- tempt to "buy" an audience, which is a big risk in case they aren't successful. This is the opinion of Sy Siegel, New York City municipal radio di- rector, in a Daily interview at a clinic of 95 educational radio di- rectors yesterday. * * * AMID announcements of foot- ball scores during the course of Boy Still Not Informed of Test Results Six-year old Tommy O'Neill still didn't know yesterday that he's not the kidnapped son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Thompson of Dayton, Ohio. . Instead, Tommy was having the time of his young life playing with 18 other boys and girls at the Michigan Children's Institute, 1447 Washington Heights. * * * ONLY WHEN he asks the re- sults of the sereological tests that proved conclusively he is not the couple's kidnapped son will he be told. A case worker in whom Tommy confides will break the news to the six year old ward of the state of Michigan. Tommy whose slightly webbed{ toes, crimped right ear and general facial features led the Thompsons to believe they had at last found their boy will be placed in another7 Michigan boarding home. He will be available for adop- tion when the MCI is certain that he is over all the effects of thej excitement. the -afternoon, Siegel declared that CBS started out great guns with a quiz show with a $50,000 budget, but lost half of it after the first airing, mainly because the ques- tions asked were too easy, and the audience cleaned up. "So to keep operating on a badly bent budget, the program thought up impossible questions such as 'Who was the speaker of the House in 1921?'. and kept listeners away in droves," he said. The attempt by the Federal Communications commission to outlaw such give-aways will go to the courts and eventually to the Supreme Court, Siegel de- clared. * * BUT IT WILL take two years to do this, and meanwhile the shows will further enjoy their radio boom, he added. "FCC's first mistake in deal- ing with the programs was that they didn't crack down for two years, which gave the shows a chance to dig in for a hard fight," he said. Another big complaint against radio is the commercials that keep beating the ears of listeners, Siegel added. A University of Denver survey showed that one-third of all United States listeners had a vio- lent distaste for American radio, Siegel said. "And one of the major reasons given was the irritation of radio commercials." Siegel agreed that irritation was good for some purposes. On WNYC, the only municipally- operated and financed station in* the country, irritation is used to great advantage during election week when a blaring spot telling people to vote is broken into a symphony program. "Nothing makes a listener mad- der than something like this, but it makes him aware that he should vote," he said. Northwestern Aerial Attack Wins,_21-20 Burson Sparks SurpriseVictory By PRES HOLMES (Sports Co-Editor) A spirited Northwestern eleven handed Michigan its second de- feat in as many starts yesterday when the Wildcats edged the Wol- verines 21-20 at Dyche Stadium. The victory brought back vivid memories of the 1946 season when Army defeated Michigan 20-13, and then the following week Northwestern played Michigan to a 14-14 tie. * * * THE same letdown that the Wolverines suffered three seasons Igo seemed to plague them again yesterday. They played on even terms with the Wildcats in the irst half, but in the second session Northwestern possessed the spirit and drive which brought them their first victory over Mich- igan since 1937. 55,000 fans screamed and cheered as Northwestern held the ball for the last minute and a half with quarterback Don Burson taking a direct pass from center and plowing into the line. Michigan had scored their third touchdown to come within one point of NU with just ninety se- onds left in the game, but couldn't get their hands on the ball with Burson making sure by using the time tested stalling maneuver. THE GAME was virtually de- cided after Michigan's sec n, touchdown late in the third quar- ter when Harry Allis' attempted conversion went wide of the goal posts. Michigan exhibited the great- er drive and power on the ground, but couldn't click con- sistently enough to score when necessary. Northwestern never ran a play from inside the Wol- verines ten yard line, making all three of their scores from out beyond the last two yardmark- ers. Their shortest touchdown play was a 17 yard pass from Don Bur- son to Don Stonesifer, who was hit on' the two but his motion carried him into the end zone. The Wildcats other two scores were strictly spectator plays. w * * * WITH LESS than three min- utes left to play in the first half Burson, standing on his own 34, tossed the ball to Ed Tunnicliff on Michigan's forty and he went ail the way for Northwestern's first score of the day. The last touch- down which came early in the fourth quarter, was a 55 yard run back of Leo Koceski's punt by Tom Worthington. Michigan never seemed to be able to shake anyone loose, and were forced to grind and drive for every marker. Both teams looked slow in the first half. It looked as if they were feeling each other out, each one afraid to make a move for fear the other would capitalize on a miscue, if it should happen, and it did. * * * EARLY in the first half, the first time Michigan had the ball, See DUFEK, Page 6 Judge Alleges Sales Tax Gyp DETROIT--(P)--A judge who investigated the situation charged yesterday that the state of Michi- gan has been losing more than $10,000,000 annually through cheating on sales taxes.
