FHop, Roosevelt Talk Top Inter-Term 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.

LX, No. 85 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1950 PRICE FIVE CENTS 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.

Europe's Films 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." However the main part of his * * * 4 Brown Lauds 'New Yorker' a _. 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. S i.* * * "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." Hiss Lawyer Calls Wadleigh 'Real Thief' By The Associated Press The Alger Hiss perjury trial neared an end yesterday as De- fense lawyer Claude B.

Cross contended that: talk was the New devoted to comment on York theatrical scene. * * * BROWN, who is a dramatic critic and an associate editor of the Saturday Review of Litera- ture, had high praise for Alumni 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. House Refuses South Korea Economic Aid WASHINGTON-(/P)-The Tru- Iman Administiraition suffered a stinging foreign policy defeat yes- terday when the House refused to grant further economic aid to Southern Korea. By a two-vote margin the House rejected the Administration's re- quest for $60,000,000 to help bol- ster the little Republic's economy during the next six months. FrancoBoycott Removal '' < ' i :>:;- ? I 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. - U s. Ready To Back UN JOHN MASON BROWN . . . spoke last night * * * 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." World News .roundup BOSTON - (R) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation said last night that it knows the serial numbers of almost one-tenth of the million dollars cash grabbed here by nine masked gunmen Tuesday night. BOSTON-(P)-Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, deposed Navy chief and storm center in the armed, services unification controversy, announced his retirement yester- day. D 4 4 *l DETROIT - (A) -Malcolm W. Government Favorable Toward Hydrogen Bomb Will Extend Spain Credit, If Justifiable 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.

The first issue of the Spring semester will appear Feb. 14. which experimental work is al- ready being pushed. President Truman himself left wide open the possibility that he may eventually order production of the weapon which some esti- mates say would be 1,000 times more powerful than present A- Bombs. * * * THE CHIEF Executive did this at his news conference by refus- ing to comment on a direct ques- tion whether production of the hydrogen bomb is being consid- ered by him. This contrasted with the specific answers he gave to a number of other inquiries on atomic matters.
