Activities
Enrollment:
University enrollment for the fast-
approaching spring semester is expected to
drop by about 1,000 students from its fall
term total of 24,000, according to Robert L.
Williams, assistant to the provost.
FEBRUARY GRADUATIONS plus with-
drawals during the first semester generally
exceed the number of students who enter in
mid-year, University officials explained.
From 1,000 to 1,200 new students will
enroll in the University for the spring
semester, Williams said. In addition, be-
tween 600 and 800 former students who were
not enrolled for the fall term will register
for spring term classes.
Slightly more than half of the new students
will be undergraduates. Nearly a third of the
entering undergraduates will be women, ac-
cording to Ivan W. Parker, director of orien-
tation.
Orientation ...
SPRING TERM orientation will begin bright
and early Feb. 6 when new undergraduates
assemble in Waterman Gymnasium to meet
their orientation group leaders and hear wel-
coming addresses by Dean of Students Erich
A. Walter and Assistant Dean of Women Mary
C. Bromage.
Special programs during orientation week
will acquaint new students with the Uni-
versity's facilities and activities. A "Fun
Frolic" dance on Feb. 8 at the Union will
prob'e orientation week entertainment for
both old and new students, Parker said.
Old students will drift back to Ann Arbor
in spurts during the week of Feb. 6. Registra-
tion is' scheduled to run from Feb. 8-11, but
most students will have to return the day
before they register to secure approval of elec-
tions and take care of other academic details.
I Between Terms:
There will be a wide variety of campus
activity between semesters.

THE "FOUR OUT OF FIVE" myth may be
broken once and for all when "Campus," new
pictorial magazine, makes its debut Feb. 8
during registration.
Defying widespread allegations that he
has taken on an impossible job, Editor Al
Forman, '50, intends to- back up his belief
in the pulchritude of Michigan womanhood
by publishing pictures of University coeds
chosen at random.
Student profiles of Mack Suprunowicz, bas-
ketball star, and Margaret Pell, speech stu-
dent, will be among the "human interest"
stories in which "Campus" intends
ize, Forman said.
FOR ITS CANINE READERS, "Campus"
will publish a story on the human quirks of
fraternity dogs.
The 24-page bi-weekly magazine will cost
20 cents a copy. Subscriptions will be $3 a year
and $1.75 a semester, Forman explained.

Coal Miners
Snub Plea of
Back to Work
Violence Flares
Again in Walkout
PITTSBURGH -() - Thous -
ands of jeering coal miners yes-
terday rejec'ted demands they go
back to work.
The action in West Virginia and
Pennsylvania came on the heels
of new violence in the seven-state
walkout of 90,000 United Mine
Workers.
WILLIAM HYNES, president of
UMW district 4, was booed at a
mass meeting in southwestern
Pennsylvania. He was escorted to
his car by several friends.
There was only one sign of a
break in the strike which John
L. Lewis has suggested be ended.
In the Pittsburgh area (Dis-
trict 5) UMW officials reported
sutccs in persuading represen-
tatives of about 10,000 miners
to obey Lewis.
Hynes, speaking to more than
1,000 diggers at Brownsville, Pa.,
asked the miners to go back to
work. Wild confusion reigned.
District No. 4 has about 20,000
miners.
* * *
P1OSSIBILITY that some 12,000
miners in northern West Virginia
will continue their walkout came
from a meeting at Monongah, W.
Va. About 1,500 miners rejected
vociferously, but without a vote, a
movement to return to work.
The Pittsburgh Chamber of
Commerce wired President Tru-
man asking he act to get the
miners back to work on a five-
day week. The chamber said an
emergency exists in the steel
city because of lowered coal
stockpiles.
The President declared, mean-
while, that he had nothing to do
'with Robert Denham's injunc-
tion suit against John L. Lewis-
and that he himself will step into
the coal situation when it becomes
+ necessary.
BUT HE asserted, as he has on
several previous occasions, that
there is no national emergency
now requiring presidential inter-
vention.
Thus he replied to an insistent
clamor from Congress members
and others wh insist that the
mid-winter coal shortages caused
' by Lewis' three-day week and the
intermittent strikes in the coal
fields constitute an emergency.
J-Hop Extra
The J-Hop extra, special edi-
tion of The Daily printed in
tabloid form, will be on sale
Feb. 13, with profits going to
the March of Dimes.
°The 'extra ,will contain pc
pures and names of the couples
attending the Feb. 11 and 12
affair. There will be special
features and stories, parodying
theusual Daily news treatment.
It will be sold on campus by
members of the 'M' Club. Stu-
lents will receive copies in ex-
hange for contributions to the
olio fund raising drive.
Europe's

Mature--Brown
"Hollywood apparently doesn't care how empty the mind is, if
the sweater is full," John Mason Brown said last night at Hill Audi-
torium in a University Oratorical Association lecture.
European films, he went on, say to their audiences, "This could
happen to you," but American movies say "This has never happened
to anyone."

THOUGH THE TITLE of Brown's talk was "Broadway in Re-
view," this did not limit him in the least.
He ranged all the way from Sigmund Engel - "one who
confused marriage and trigonometry" - through books and
movies, as well as plays, "to a declaration of faith in American
civilization - "We have survived not only the atom bomb, but
the Kinsey Report."

For Initiative
By ROMA LIPSKY
"The 'New Yorker' was wonder-
ful; they took just the right
stand," John Mason Brown, critic,
authbr, and editor declared, com-
menting on the recent fued be-
tween the magazine and Grand
Central Station concerning com-
mercials broadcast in the station.
Interviewed backstage at Hill
Auditorium last night, Brown said
that the blaring waiting room
radio was "as disturbing as a hos-
tess on an airplane who offers you
coffee at just the moment when
you're falling asleep."
* * *
HE APPLAUDED the "New
Yorker's" victory in bringing
Grand Central officials to halt the
broadcasting.
Brown deplored the fact that
there are not more off-broadway
theatre groups.
"From the college and the ex-
perimental drama groups comes
impetus for the major develop-
ments on the American stage," he
said.

"ON BROADWAY today there
are either tremendous hits or tre-
mendous flops;. we do not have
enough of a middle ground."
Commenting on the short run
of "Twelfth Night," which had
received enthusiastic approval
when first presented during the
Ann Arbor Drama Festival last
spring, Brown said:
"The production was admirable
and the cast excellent; the person
to be damned here was William
Shakespeare for writing a bad
play."

U.S.-Bulgaria
Break Seen
Imminent
Split Over Recall
Of U.S. Minister
WASHINGTON-(IP)-A formal
break in diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Bul-
garia was reported last night as
imminent following a Bulgarian
demand for recall of the U.S.
minister there.
The State Department would
not explain what reasons the Bul-
garians cited for wanting Donald
R. Heath, the U.S. Minister to
Sofia out of their country.
* * *
MEANWHILE it was learned
that the two countries are likely
to sever diplomatic relations,
probably today.
A department spokesman said
last night the demand for
Heath's recall "Was .made in a
note sent by the Bulgarian gov-
ernment through its charge
d'affaires, Dr. Peter Voutov.
The Department withheld de-
tails of the note pending prepara-
tion of a reply. It was understood,
however, that the Bulgarians said
that Heath was persona non grata
(unsatisfactory).
* * *
THERE have been previous ex-
changes of notes in connection
with Heath, a career diplomat
who is a native of Topeka, Kansas.
On Dec. 19, Bulgaria objected
to the "very strong language"
in an American protest over the
mention of Heath's name during
the treason trial of Traicho
Kostov.

ster the little Republic's economy

MIDWEST FLOODWATERS-Scenes like this one in a section of Mt. Carmel, Ill., inundated by the
Wabash River, may be on the way out, according to hopeful reports yesterday from critical midwest
flood points. Above Mt. Carmel on the Wabash at Vincennes, Ind., the Associated Press says the
town's inhabitants have written off the flood threat, following the river's drop from a position
within five inches of the city's flood wall. At Cairo, Ill., a crest of 55.5 feet was expected last night,
appreciably under the 57 feet which Army Engineers said would force them to flood the Birds Point-
New Madrid Spillway. This would inundate the 11omes of 12,000 inhabitants but save more populous
areas.

Arthur Miller's "Death of a Sales-
man." He called it one of the most
distinguished endeavors at trag-
edy he had even seen.
"It is so audience-including.
Its emotional parentheses are so
far spread that no man over 50
can see it and not feel he is part
of it," he declared.
It describes, he said, of what is
bound to happen to anyone if he
lives long enough.
"The villain is no Cassius, no
Iago, but the calendar."

SWITCHING to a different type
of theatre, Brown also touched
on the subject of Mae West.
Though he declared her current
vehicle "Diamond Lil" is on the
cultural level of a trip to China
town, "it was worth going to just
to see her."

Acheson Letter
Reveals Decision
WASHINGTON -- (P) - Secre-
tary of State Acheson announced
last night the United States is
prepared to support a move in the
United Nations to end the three-
year-old diplomatic boycott of
Franco Spain.
In addition Acheson said this
government is "quite prepared to
acquiesce in the extension of cred-
its to Spain covering specific and
economically justifiable projects"
in which there is "a reasonable
prospect of repayment."
THE SECRETARY disclosed this
major shift of American policy
in a letter to Chairman Connally
(D-Tex.) of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
Connally and many other sen-
ators have made repeated de-
mands that this country resume
diplomatic and trade relations
with Madrid which were broken
off in 1946 in keeping with a
resolution adopted by the Unit-
ed Nations General Assembly,.
This was done because the Fran-
co government was deemed a
fascist dictatorship which had
come to power with the aid of
Hitler and Mussolini.
Since that time the United
States has been represented in
Madrid only by a charge d'af-
faires.
SECRETARY Acheson declared
the U.S. now is ready to vote for
a resolution in the UN Assembly
"which will leave members free
to send an ambassador or minis-
ter to Spain if they choose."
Acheson's letter stressed hoW-
ever that the decision to aban-
don the 1946 policy "would in no
sense signify approval of the
regime in Spain."
"It would merely indicate," he
said, "our desire in the interests
of orderly international Inter-
course, to return to normal prac-
tice in exchanging diplomatic rep-
resentation."
* * *
ONE MAJOR reason for the d
cision, Acheson said, was t
"public bewilderment" in t
country over the practice of send-
ing Ambassadors to Soviet bloc
nations while refusing to appoint
an Ambassador to Spain.
