LX, No. 7 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1949 PRICE FIVE CENTS DATELINE-EUROPE: Students Witness 15th Century Fete, (Editor's note: This is the fifth in a series of articles by two Daily staff members who spent the summer in Europe as leaders of an NSA study tour.) By BARNEY and DOLORES LASCIIEVER Unwittingly we found ourselves the feature attraction this summer Report Tito rllSIRI ol £Russian Coup BELGRADE, Yugoslavia-(IP)- Unconfirmed reports said last night Yugoslavia has bolstered her trooper strength in the East. On the diplomatic front Bulgaria joined three other Cominform countries and Russia in denounc- ing friendship and mutual aid treaties with Yugoslavia. An official report said Premier Marshal Tito had reviewed 'Grand Maneuvers" of his troops and pledged to defend the country against all comers. * * * TITO SNAPPED BACK at Rus- sia. In a bitterly phrased note Yugoslavia accused Russia of warmongering, bullying and treachery. The note charged that the Soviet Union had applied "blackmail pressure" in the lBalkan cold war of nerves be- tween the Communist nations led by Russia and Tito's inde- pendent government. It marked the latest, and per- haps most furious, development in a quarrel which began 15 months ago when the Cominform coun- tries under Moscow's lead de- nounced Tito on charges he was pursuing anti-Soviet and nation- alistic policies. THE UNCONFIRMED reports said Tito had shifted troops from the West to the East. Despite the lack of official confirmation, a tour just completed by this cor- respondent in the Western side of the country gave little evidence that Yugoslavia is maintaining her forces in any strength tere. It appeared likely thatgmany of Tito's crack troops have been moved to the East to guard the borders against any posible qick coup. In today's note, Yugoslavia said that Russia, by renouncing her treaty of friendship and - liance with Yugoslavia had commited a "hostile act." ' Prior to Bulgaria's action, both Hungary and Poland had followed Russia's lead in denouncing simi- lar treaties. Czechoslovakia is ex- pected to take the same tsep. YUGOSLAVIA accused Russia of being an oppressor of small countries and a nation which re- duced its treaties to worthless scraps of paper. i 0 Czech ITitoists tOusted from PettyPositions PRAGUE-(P)-Reliable sources reported today arrests of Com- munist small fry officials are .in- creasing and there were hints that the government is out for even bigger game. The arrests of "political unre- liables" may be setting the stage for a trial of Titoists similar to that in Hungary where the former No. 2 Communist, Laszlo Rajk, was condemned to death on charg- es of plotting with Yugoslavs. * * * THE CURRENT wave of ar- rests and ousters extends even to sports writers on Communist news- in a 15th century parade held in a small farming town in Holland. The occasion was the 650th an- niversary of the founding of Hat- tem, a municipality of about 2,000 persons. WE ARRIVED with four other American students in midafter- noon to share in the week-long celebration. An address by the mayor from the balcony of the city hall was in progress when we reached the main square. Our presence. was noted im- mediately by the assemblage of burghers who were dressed in medieval costumes. The mayor interrupted his talk to invite the Americans in halting Eng- lish to join him on the balcony. Following the talk, the mayor and his entourage formed a parade to a nearby field where a horse show was in progress. They in- sisted we be part of the march. * * * FLANKED by the mayor's guardswho sported ancient hel- mets and carried wicked looking spikes, we were escorted through the town. With cameras dangling from our necks and our American clothing we easily became the main attraction of the maneu- ver. The show was a unique display by farmers who put their heavy work horses through a skillful series of workouts. The horses, we were told, were put back into harness to complete the day's work following the contest. THEN the burghermeister-for- a-day, a retired naval commander in civilian life, insisted we be guests of honor at a special ban- quet. We marched back to town through cardboard arches and under gaily festooned streets to the town tavern, where a sign announced that, "We serve gentlemen, workers and farmers. All are welcome." The highlight of the meal were huge steaming plate-size pan- cakes cooked with bacon. The 15 year old son of one of the town's See U.S. STUDENTS, Page 3 Sf orza Blasts Reds' Veto of ItalianUN Bid, Links Action to Split On Former Colonies LAKE SUCCESS - () -Carlo Sforza, Italian Foreign Minister, yesterday attacked Russia for blocking Italy's admission to the United Nations. He told the General Assembly's 59-member Political Committee here the big power split over Italy's membership application is directly related to the current dis- pute over what should be done with Italy's pre-war African col- onies. THE RUSSIANS vetoed the Italian membership bid when the nations they favor for admission to the world organization failed to get Security Council approval. Sforza likened this Russian action to "cheap scheming and cruel bar- gaining." The Italian statesman asked the U.N. to grant freedom to Tripolitania at once and to ap- prove early independence for the two other parts of Libya-Cy- renaica and the Fezzan. Britain and the United States told the committee yesterday they would like to see Lybia given its independence within five years. France announced yesterday she favors eventual independence for the North African territory but specified no time limit. Russia has rmmM ~t i fanrofimaa . Steel Union Insists on Own Terms Hikes Demands As Charges Fly PITTSBURGH- (P)-The steel strike tightly tied up America's basic industry yesterday and Philip Murray said he'd loosen the stranglehold only on his own terms. Preliminary estimates indicated enough steel is on hand to last three weeks or a month. The Bu- reau of Mines estimated coal stockpiles are ample for 48 days. The steel strike will stretch coal supplies even longer. SOME INDUSTRIES are better stockpiled than others. The auto industry, which gobbles up 18 per cent of the total steel production, is all set for three to four weeks. Here are developments in the first day of the walkout: 1. Murray, president of the CIO United Steelworkers, gave his price for getting his half million union- ists back on the job. His terms are exactly those which the in- dustry already turned down. 2. Irving S. Olds, chairman of the United States Steel Corpora- tion's Board of Directors, told his stockholders: "U.S. Steel has never opposed proper and financially sound so- cial insurance programs for its employes." 3. The White House once more reported President Truman did not intend to intervene in the dispute again. 4. There was no violence of any sort. MURRAY CALLED a news con- ference to deny charges made by Benjamin F. Fairless, president of the United States Steel Corpora- tion. Asked for his price of peace, Murray said the union had male three proposals. These were: 1. The original demand that steel companies accept the Pres- idential Fact Finding Board's rec- ommendations that the industry pay for workers' pensions and in- surance. (U.S. Steel made an offer on insurance and pensions but in- sisted that the workers help pay the bill.) 2. A proposal for settling on the basis of the Board's social security recommendations, plus a 12 '2 cent an hour wage increase. 3. A proposal that the company pay out an additional 30 cents an hour. This would be allocated among such features as wages, pensions and insurance. *, * * 'U' Building Unaffected By Strike --- Roth The strike of the CIO United Steelworkers will have no impor- tant effect on the University's cuirent building prorarn, accord- ing to Walter Roth, Plant. Super- intendent. The steelwork being usd in connection with the new coliseum has already been rolizd, he ex- plained. Poth said the present situation would not parallel the crises three years ago, when the 1946 steel strike seriously held up construc- tion of the all-steel Administra- tion Building. -Daly-Carlyle Marshall LISTENING PARTY--With Michigan's mighty Wolverines off to the football wars in far-away Palo Alto, loyal student stay-at-homes tuned in their radios and did some long-distance rooting. Informal listening parties dotted the campus. Some Sigma Nu men and their dates headed for the Arboretum to hear the contest and are shown above relaxing on the soft, green turf. World News Round- Up By The Associated Press PARIS -'The French Cabinet agreed yesterday to unfreeze wages by restoring to workers the right of collective bargaining. On the international side of week-long critical discussions, the cabinet called for a European con- ference to work out ways of stab- ilizing currencies and economies in the face of current devaluation. CANTON-Communist rein- forcements moved into positions 155miles to the northeast yes- terday for the coming battle which may settle the fate of Canton. Private reports estimated 30,- 000 red regulars now were in- side Canton's Kwantung prov- ince in that area. Nationalist troop trains rolled toward the front. ro . * * * BUENOS AIRES-Argentina an- nounced yesterday she has ad- justed her peso rates in view of the devaluations of currencies throughout the world touched off by Britain's cheapening of her money. The Argentine government in-' creased the value of the peso in relation to the pound, but some rates for the peso were devalued in relation to the dollar. Apparently, this was an attempt to compel Britain to pay more of her devalued pounds for her meat supplies from Argentina and at the same time stimulate sales of Argentina goods in the United States and make up for a serious shortage of dollars here. * * * FRANKFURT, Germany - Thousands of Germans surged into the American and British Zones from Eastern Germany yesterday and thousands of others were treking toward the border. It was a peaceful mass invasion that developed when the Russians temporarily re- leased border controls at several points. The Germans smashed bar- riers, and by sheer numbers overwhelmed West German bor- der police and American and British soldiers. Hard Coal Miners Return To Pits on Lewis' Order -- i PITTSBURGH-)P-A flame of relief flickered yesterday in the nation's strike-stripped coal bin. But its glow heralded warmth only to householders in the anth- racite - consuming northeastern states, * * * PENNSYLVANIA'S hard coal miners go down into the pits Mon- day on orders of their leader, John L. Lewis. Coal-dependent industries and homes in other sections of the country will still have to depend largely on the bituminous sup- ply unearthed by the United Mine Workers before they launched their "no day week" Sept. 19. That stockpile is comparatively high-48-days-worth by normal reckoning. IT PROMISES to last longer than that - depending on how long the CIO United Steelworkers carry on their day-old shutdown of the coal-gobbling steel indus- try. Helping to stave off rapid and complete depletion of the above- ground supply will be the return of 22,000 soft coal miners who toil in the pits west of the Mis- sissippi. Lewis included them in his return-to-work command. Proclaim Red Rule in China; Chou Premier- By The Associated Press China's Communists yesterday formally proclaimed their new government in Peiping with Gen. Chou En-Lai, an old hand at ne- gotiating with Americans, as premier and Foreign Minister. Mao Tze-Tung, the chairman or head of the new government,read the proclamation at a mass rally. The proclamation invited interna- tional recognition of Mao's regime as China's "sole legal govern- ment." They will add formidable impe- tus to a trickle of soft coal which began dribbling out of non-union mines in Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, Ohio and Ketucky during the past week. These pits employ some 15,000 men. IN ADDITION, 23,000 Progres- sive mine workers in Illinois have continued to dig during their ri- val union's strike. But the bulk of the bituminous miners -- nearly 400,000 UMW members who dig in the coal -rich belts in the northern and southern states-will stay above ground in their crippling protest walkout. In the coal fields there was lit- tle to indicate that one of the na- tion's most important industries is embroiled in bitter labor dis- pute. Coach Sez.®. Michigan's football coach, Bennie Oosterbaan, had noth- ing but the highest praises and admiration for the Wolverine team which conquered a deter- mined Stanford squad yester- day afternoon. "I'm very proud of them. Ever.ybody should be, they played a wonderful game," he said in a, call placed by The Daily to the victory party in San Francisco. Plans were discussed for a welcoming-home rally. Ooster- baan said he appreciated the gesture, but felt that the late hour of arrival and the tired condition of the men would make such an undertaking im- practical. When questioned about the heat Oosterbaan related that some of the boys told him that they had "never been hotter in their lives, but they kept on playing great ball despite the heat." Victory Extends 'M' Streak to 25 Ortmann's Arm, Koceski's Running Feature Attack; Blocking Sharp By MERLE LEVIN (Special to The Daily) PALO ALTO, Calif-Michigan is still mighty and the STRING is 25, but it took 60 minutes of rugged football to prove it to the local skeptics. West Coast football addicts, long searching for a way to beat a top Western Conference team, thought they had the answer in Stanford, conquerer of a good Harvard club a week previous by a top heavy 44-0 score. But when the dust of battle had cleared yesterday, the score- board here in Stanford Stadium read Michigan 27, Stanford 7, and 88,000 disappointed fans were shaking their heads in awe at a Michigan team which had once again proved its right to a place at the top of the list of college grid powers. THE CROWD WENT away, too, singing the praises of lanky Charlie Ortmann, a doubtful starter until game time because of an infected toe, whose passing was superb and whose running matched his passing. And Little Leo Koceski who turned into a slippery blue- shirted demon every time he carried the ball, received his share of the plaudits. Given fine blocking and improved protection on his passes, Ortmann was right on target with every one of his tosses and averaged 5.2 yards on 12 carries. Only spotty receiving prevented a near perfect passing average for the tow-headed junior. Koceski scored two of the Michigan touchdowns and his running left little to be desired. He averaged 7.5 yds. on 12 attempts and left Stanford's highly touted Harry Hugasian in the dust in the battle for running honors. THE STATISTICS left little doubt as to the Wolverines' super- iority. They totaled 23 first downs to Stanford's 13 and gained 286 yards rushing and 98 yards passing compared to 116 and 110 yards respectively for the Indians. The West Coasters never stopped trying but their performance was disappointing. -Their pass defense was poor and the end of their line was constantly being turned in. It was hard to believe that this was the same club that had totaled 98 points to nothing for their opponents -in two previous games against above average foes. * * * * ONLY SOUR NOTE in the Wolverine picture was a new injury to Capt. Al Wistert, who was forced to leave the game mid-way through the third period. However he was walking with no sign of a limp after the game and it was believed that he would not be forced out of action for the Army game. The Wolverines threw a scare into the Indians early in the first quarter when guard Lloyd Heneveld pounced on Stanford fullback Bill DeYoung's fumble on the Stanford 47 starting a drive which went to the Indian 19 before Wolverine fullback Don Dufek lost the ball on a fumble. Stanford failed on two passes after Harry Hugasian, a swivel- hipped hard-running halfback had picked up nine yards on first down and the Indian kick was taken by Leo Koceski on the Mich- igan 40. THIS TIME THERE was no stopping the Maize and Blue attack. Ortmann weaved his way 15 yards to the Stanford 45 and then got off a long pass to Harry Allis on the Indian 21. Allis went high into the air to ma'ke a beautiful twisting catch and bulled two more yards before he was halted. From there Dufek and Ortmann took turns carrying the ball to the Indian 2. Koceski then crashed over. Allis converted and the scoreboard read Michigan 7, Stanford 0 with four min- utes remaining in the first quarter.

It was not enough to endanger membership approval of the in- dustry's first pension program. It did indicate, however, that the settlement had not won unani- mous favor among the rank-and- file, THESE FIRST two attacks on the plan came from anti-Reuther elements. Percy Llewelyn, longtime lead- er of leftwingers in the pow- erful Ford Local 600, said his group had discussed an or- ganized drive to defeat the plan. It was abandoned, he said, be- cause of the overall labor picture in the country. "Am stil lwant +t mArk ti "We feel that was a better plan," said Llewelyn. "That time social security did not figure in. And the contributions provided a chance for savings." This last sentence was, oddly enough, in line with the position now taken by Big Steel and other industries. It was directly oppo- site to current CIO policy.
