SAC Sends
Back IFC's
Bias Motion
Claim Resolution
Fails Objectives
Student Affairs Committee yes-
t er d a y referred Interfraternity
Council's anti-discrimination res-
olution back to IFC for further
study and consideration.
The SAC stated "That the Com-
mittee is in sympathy with the
objectives stated on this date by
the representatives of IFC but
feels that, in its present form, the
resolution will not achieve these
objectives and so refers it back to
IF for further study and consid-
eration."
THE COMMITTEE had previ-
ously tabled the resolution in or-
der to hold hearings from IFC
representatives and those oppos-
ing the proposal at its meeting
yesterday.
Passed last month by a vote
of 21-14 by IFC house presi-
dents, the resolution asked the
SAC to suspend any fraternity
that fails, by Jan 1, 1951, to pe-
tition its national office for re-
moval of any bias clauses in the
fraternity's constitution.
It had replaced one originally
introduced which asked-the Com-
mittee to require every fraternity
to introduce at its next national
convention a motion asking that
bias clauses be removed from the
fraternity constitution.
JAKE JACOBSON, IFC presi-
dent, spoke for the proposal. He
declared that the motion was a
compromise after ample discus-
sion among the house presidents.
"The resolution is not only to
eliminate discriminatory claus-
es but to gain individual chap-
ter autonomy in the matter of
selecting members."
After the meeting, Jacobson
commented, "The rejection of the
motion is liable to have serious
effects on the further work of IFC
against discrimination clauses.
But IFC will further consider the
subjectand again take action on
it."
DON ROTHSCHILD, asking
that the measure be defeated,
argued:
(1.) The resolution was passed
without adequate investigation
by IFC, being an investigation
of fraternity and not individual
opinion;
(2.) Meetings of Interfratern-
ity Committee on Discrimina-
tion, a group set up by the Coun-
cil to study the problem, were
attended only voluntarily, and
that attendance was "sadly
lacking" and "not representa-
tive" of the Council;
(3.) Theresolution Was over-
shadowed by ulterior motives to
stop pressure on IFC by outside
groups and to stop the present
investigation of discrimination.
Dick Morrison, IFC vice-presi-
dent and chairman of IFCD, de-
fended the motion. He declared
that attendance to IFCD was vol-
untary to "represent voluntary ef-
forts and to get a true opinion of
individuals on the committee-not
to be forced into work."

THE ISSUE will be between
Atlee's Labor government, which
in nearly five years of rule has
espoused socialism, state planning
and nationalization of industry,
and Winston Churchill's Conserv-
atives, who defend free enterprise.
But both uphold "welfare state"
schemes.
The election was called at a
moment regarded by many ob-
servers as favorable to the La-
borites, despite the defeat in the
last six weeks of two Labor
governments in New Zealand
and Australia.
The parties will nominate their
candidates officially Feb. 13.
The new Parliament will meet
March 1 to be sworn in and to
elect a speaker. King George will
open the new Parliament.

THE LABOR PARTY cancelled
observance of the 50th jubilee an-
niversary of its founding on Feb.
3 in order not to interrupt a full-
tilt campaign.
Labor fills 390 seats in the 640
seats in the present House of
Commons. The Conservatives
have 194.
Both the Labor and Conserva-
tive parties are expected to nomi-
nate candidates for every one of
the 625 seats in the new House.
* * *
A NEW representation law elim-
inated 15 seats of the old House.
Twelve of them were those to
which the big universities were
entitled.
Thus a majority in the new
Commons will be 313.
The old House of Commons was
elected for a maximum term of
five years in July, 1945. Atlee took
over on July 26, 1945, in the mid-
dle of the Potsdam Conference.
CHURCHILL, despite a brilliant
record of victorious war-time
leadership, was defeated in 1945
on a wave of popular impatience
for the social reforms and better
living promised during the hard
times of the war Wvith Hitler.

Titro s Policies
In Yugoslavia
Tito is killing personal initia-

ent nationalization program, King
Peter II, exiled ruler of that coun-
try said last night.
In an interview backstage at
Hill Auditorium, the King declar-
ed that Tito is "economically and
absolutely ruining the country.''
"He'll have to keep appealing
for external aid to keep his pres-
etprogram going."
TITO'S ATTEMPTS to create
nationalized co-operatives are re-
sented by the people, wiho resist
the changes as long as they can
the King said.
Most of the people of Yugo-

clared, adding that they like a
democratic government.

Ask End To
Three .Day
Work Week
By The Associated Press
As 10 thousand more soft coal
miners joined the parade from
the pits yesterday, 10 senators
urged that the Senate Judiciary
Committee study formulation of
a bill which would stop the "usurp-
ation and abuse of power" by John
L. Lewis' three-day work week.
The bill would forbid labor to
monopolize control of industry.
It was favored in a report by the
senators, who made up the entire
membership of the Senate Bank-
ing Committee which investigated
the short work week.
THE REPORT was sent to the
Judiciary Committee, which han-
dles anti-trust lgeislation, as the
total number of miners idle rose
to nearly 62,000.
Banking Committee chairman
Maybank (D-S.C.) and Son.
Robertson (D-Va.), leader of
the inquiry, told reporters that
the group unanimously approv-
ed both the report and the pro-
posal to send it for study to the
Judiciary Committee.
However, Senators Douglas and
Thomas said the Committee did
not approve the report but merely
sent it on to the Judiciary Com-
mittee for what it might be worth.
* * *
THE REPORT said that almost
every witness who testified in the
Banking Commi'ttee's inquiry
"agreed that the United Mine
Workers of America had a com-
plete monopoly, not only over the
labor supply in the coal industry,
but over management and busi-
ness of the industry itself, by its
imposition of the three-day work
week upon that industry."
Most of the nation's 400,000
soft coal miners are affected by
the short work week. Of those
on strike, 30,000 are from hard
hit Pennsylvania, where 52
mines are shut down in the
western part of the state.
A flood of new strikes broke out
there and in West Virginia yes-
terday against steel company
owned mines. Four additional
steel companies were hit.
