and Ann Arbor Board of Education it was also disclosed that the
University has been granted an option to purchase the. site of the
present city high school building.
THE BOARD of Education will acquire the 210-acre Stadium
Hills area in Ann Arbor township southwest of the Michigan Stadium
for $250,000.
The field however, will be retained by the public schools until
July 1, 1952 with a possible extension through the 1953 football
season.

GOP Charges
Refuted by'
Gov. 1iams
ODecember 1, 1950.
,.
Ferguson Calls
Him CIODupe
By PAUL MARX
Governor G. Mennen Williams
answered the Republican challenge
for a statement of his philosophy
of government last night by de-
claring that government is the
machine through which the for-
tunate should endeavor to aid the
unfortunate.
Presently stumping the state in
his campaign for reelection, the
Governor spoke at a dinner in the
Union given by the Washtenaw
County Democratic Party in honor
of Democratic state candidates.
"We must use the machinery of
government in as close accord with
9hristian ethics as is possible," he
said.
* * 'I
UNLIKE Republican adminis-
strations in this state, my admin-
istration has been based on these
concepts and GOP shouts of social-
ism are "abyssmal distortions and
founded on ignorance," the state's
IDemocratic leader asserted.
Earlier in the day at a lunch-
eon in behalf of George Meader,
2nd District GOP candidate for
Congress, Senator Homer Fergu-
son declared that Williams' ad-
ministration was under the dom-
ination of the CIO's Political
Action Committee."
Ferguson also. backed up the
charges of Williams' rival candi-
date, Harry F. Kelly, that the Gov-
ernor was a dupe of the American's
for Democratic Action by asserting
that "Williams made his own bed
with that socialistic group and on-
ly now that Kelly hascharged him
with affilating with them, he does-
n't want to sleep in it."
.WILLIAMStermed the problem
of this entir~e election the fact
that instead of offering anything
resembling a program or taking a
stand on issues, "the Republicans
havekjust been stirring up ink and
muck."
Prof. John P. Dawson, Mea-
der's Democratic opponent in
the Congressional race seconded
the Governor; "We have oppo-
nents who refuse to disclose any-
thing about their views. All we
know of what they think is that
they oppose Communism and
fumbling, but so do we Demo-
crats, if not more. With that
kind of opposition we have no
need to question the outcome
of the elections in this state," he
said.
When asked about these claims
by the Democrats, Ferguson, who
along with Gov. Williams was in
town for the football game and
the Homecoming pageant, asserted
that "the Republican Party is the
AN ADDITIONAL provision in
the agreement calls for the public
schools to provide a parking area
to accomodate a minimum of 5,000
cars for public use whenever the
University Stadium.is in use.
Fees charged for parking will
be equal to those prevailing in
the area, according to the agree-
ment.
Also, the public schools will build
and maintain a high school ath-
letic field on the Stadium Hills
site and this field is to be made
available for use by University
High School for interscholastic
games at a reasonable rental.
* *.
The University acquired a major
portion of the Stadium Hills sec-
tion in 1948 with the intention of
getting an insurance company or
some other private investors to
assist in the promotion of faculty
and staff housing in that area.
No such support appeared and
it became evident that the hous-
ing plans would have to be re-
vised or changed. At this time
the public schools of Ann Arbor
were searching for a suitable
location for a new senior high
school.
Negotiations between represent-
atives of the Board of Education.
were started about six months ago.
Formal approval of the exchange
and sale by the Ann Arbor board
came on October 11.
* s *"
UNIVERSITY President Alex-
ander G. Ruthven, speaking for
the Board of Regents, said yes-
terday, "The needs for an enlarged
high school site were so pressing
that the Board of Regents was
glad to co-operate when approach-
ed by the Board of Education."
Ashley H. Clague, represent-
ing the Board of Education said,
"The Board of- Education has
felt for some time that the site
originally selected for a new
high school building was inade-
quate for the necessary plant
and athletic facilities. The board'
is pleased that the University
found it possible to make the
Stadium Hills site available."
The'100 acres in the eastern
half of the site will be used for
the senior high school building,
athletic facilities and the parking
lot, Clague said.

PUTICH SCORES SECOND TD ON 28 YARD PASS PLAY
UN Salient 63 Miles
From Manchuria
SEOUL, KOREA -(RT)- United Nations forces advanced today to-
ward a North Korean town within 63 miles of Manchuria and also
sealed tighter a trap on an estimated 28,000 Reds.
At Sunchon, 30 miles north of captured Pyongyang, a task force of
United States and South Korean troops set out for Kujang, 40 miles
farther north.
Its mission was one of mercy. It was trying to find a train reported
to be loaded with UN war prisoners. But the advance set the pace for
three South Korean divisions expected soon to join in a war-ending

headquarters fortress c i ty of
Langson was announced yester-
day, signaling the fall of the In-
dochina-China frontier zone to
firm control of the Communist-
led Vietmin Nationalists of Ho
Chi Minh.
A French Army communique
disclosing this development vowed
that the French will assume the
offensive after regrouping as mo-
bile units and "no further with-
drawal of our troops is foreseen."

BUT THE evacuation of Lang-
son, part of a gradual retreat
from border positions, ended
French chances of a decisive mili-
tary victory anytime soon in the
struggle for domination of this
gateway country to southeast Asia.
Abandonment of the remain-
ing French positions, at Laokay in
the west and Moncay in the east,
is regarded here as only a matter
of time. The French defense line

THE TRAP for the 28,000 Reds,
first set by 4,100 paratroopers in
an air drop at Sunchon and Suk-

One was a linkup with the
paratroops by the British Com-
monwealth 27th Brigade, re-
ported by air observers to have
been achievd at Sukchon, about
30 miles north of Pyongyang.
The other was a southwestward
thrust out of Pyongyang by the
United States First Cavalry Di-
vision for 27 miles to the seaport
of Chinnampo.

THE UNITED STATES 24th Di-
vision previously had driven up a
road near the west coast to one
edge of the bay across from the
port city.
The United States Eighth
Army also received a report that
60 UN war prisoners had been
found murdered at Sunchon.
Meanwhile Korean Republican
sources said that the government

work with the United Nations and
General MacArthur "in complete
harmony" to win the peace in

LAKE SUCCESS-(IP)-The UN
A s s em by's political committee
unanimously endorsed yesterday a
Syria-Iraq resolution calling for
big power peace talks.
The actual vote was 59. Ice-
land's delegate was absent.
Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky
stubbornly attempted to have the
Chinese Red regime listed as one
of the big powers, but after two
rebuffs voted along with the com-
mittee in the rare UN show of
unanimity.
THE Syria-Iraq proposal recom-
mends that the five permanent se-
curity council members-listed in
the UN charter as' China, United
States, Russia, Britain and France
-consult together on their differ-
ences. It set no date for the talks.
The Big Five however agreed
after a Security Council meeting
to hold private talks in an effort
to break the deadlock over what
to do about United Nations
Secretary General Trygve Lie's
expiring term.
Russia's Jacob A. Malik, who
has stymied the Council through
his refusal to permit a new term
.for American-backed Trygve Lie,
made the suggestion at a secret
session this morning.

COUCHED IN the form of a
resolution, it was adopted 7-0,
with the United States, Britain,
Yugoslavia and Norway abstain-

The ' resolution calls on the
Big Five today or tomorrow to
try to decide on a mutually ac-
ceptable candidate. They would
report the result in the form of a
memorandum to other Council
members Tuesday.
The Big Five talks will be the
first held in the spirit of the
Syria-Iraq resolution adopted by
the assembly's political commit-
tee.
Nationalist China's delegate, C.
L. Hsia, suggested the Tuesday
time limit. Malik made no objec-
tion to having his proposal modi-
fied by the man whose presence
in the Council he has previously
denounced as illegal.
The Russian also agreed that
the Chinese Nationalists would be
one of the Big Five consulted. The
- Soviet Union has previously in-
sisted that such meetings could be
held only if a delegate from 'the
Communist Peiping Regime repre-
sented China.

For I N FPestiviritiPc
By PAUL BRENTLINGER
Daily City Editor
A high spirited homecoming
crowd thoroughly enjoyed watch-
ing the Wolverines bounce back to
prominence in the football world
yesterday.
Louder than usual Michigan
cheering presented a pleasant con-
trast to the gloom of the crowd at
the Michigan State game, and
showed improvement over the
calmness with which local fans
greeted the Wolverines' win over
Dartmouth two weeks ago.
AMONG THE 91,202 fans who
jamed the stadium yesterday were
Gov. G. Mennen Williams and Sen.
homer Ferguson. Both were in
Ann Arbor for important political
meetings, but each took time out
from duty to enjoy the homecom-
ing pageantry.
It's a great day and a great
game," Sen. Ferguson remarked,
during a brief half-time visit to
the press box.
Truman Slated.
.For- UNTalk
WASHINGTON - (AP-) - Presi-
dent Truman probably will deliver
a new world peace plea to the
United Nations Tuesday, following
up his Pacific conference with
General Douglas MacArthur and
his foreign policy speech in San
Francisco last week.
The United Nations speech is
expected to steer clear of highly
controversial subjects because the
chief executive will speak as head
of the UN's host nation on a cere-
monial occasion-United Nations
Day.
The President will deliver it,
nevertheless, against the back-
ground of his Pacific flight and
his repeated warnings to Russia
against further Red aggression.
'U' BOUNCES BACK:
High Spirits Mark Game.
As Crowd Cheers Team
Former governor Kim Sigler
watched the entire game from a
press 'box seat. He showed little
emotion as he thoughtfully scruti-
nized each play from behind his
impressive cigaret holder.
For the first time this year a.
Wolverine Club sponsored flash
card section went into action in
the student section. Unfortunate-
ly, card holders were not; yet in
mid-season form yesterday, for
fans seated in the east stands re-
ported that they could not figure
out the designs made by the blue
and gold pasteboards.
AFTER DAZZLING New York
last week, the Michigan Marching
Band drew loud cheers as it made
its dramatic entry into the
stadium. The band's pre-game
show honored the United Nations,
while the half-time exhibition' of-
fered the band's impressions of a
New York visit.
Wisconsin's band featured big
bass drums hauled on flashy
red-wheeled carts and played by
jitterbugging drummers.
Michigan State Police reported
heavier than usual football traf-
fic yesterday. No serious accidents
w e r e reported, however, and
"people were very cooperative,"
according to a police official.
Wisconsin fans traveled to the
game in style. A special stream-
lined train brought 458 of them
from Madison in 3 luxurious
coaches and a pullman.
A group of 70 students from St.
John's Provincial Seminary, Ply-
mouth, arrived via chartered
buses, and occupied a special
block of seats in the stadium's
north end.
One visitor was absent from this
year's homecoming day game. The
traditional dog failed to make an
appearance on the gridiron prob-
ably because of an innate fear of
badgers.
ONLY TWO late scores in thd
fourth period against the Wolver
ine reserves marred an otherwis
completely one-sided affair 'for th~
revitalized Maize and Blue.
Ortmannhad one of the
greatest days of his collegiate
career although he retired early
in the third quarter with a slight
leg injury. He rambled 14 yards
for the first Wolverine marker
and then heaved a long pass to
Bill Putich for another.
In all he accounted for 185
yards on the ground and through
the air. In the first half alone he
completed 10 of 14 passes for a
amazing percentage against the
supposedly defensively alert Bad-
gers.

toon, led by Roger Zatkoff, Tony
Momsen, and Tom Johnson corn-

'other good day as-he personally

Michigan tallies on plunges from
the three and one. He rolled for
74 yards through the stunned Bad-
ger defenders, averaging nearly
four yards a play.

Fred Pickard and Quarterback Bill
Putich each caught three of Ort-
mann's accurate tosses. Putich{
scored the second touchdown on a
brilliantly executed pass play that
covered 28 yards.
Michigan jumped into a 7-0
lead just before the first period
ended. An exchange of punts
and a nice runback by Ortmann
put the ball on the Wisconsin 30.
Dufek and Ortmann alternated
lugging the pigskin down to the
14 from where Charlie slanted offf
tackle for the score. He was hitj
on the five but powered his way
over. Harry Allis kicked the extra'
point.

penalties stopped several Wolver-

Earlier the visitors had re-
covered a Michigan funble and
momentarily had threatened to
tie the score. They took advant-
age of a mixup in the. Wolverine
backfield and got the ball on the
32. Three of Bob Petriska's
passes failed and the drive fizzl-
ed out on the 24.
Jim Hammond got off a beauti-
ful 60 yd quick -kick- later in the
quarter from his own 17. The
Wolverines finally took- over on
their 23 and ten plays later they
crossed the Badger goal line for,
the second time.
