Amusement
Construction
MadeIllegal
Authority Moves
To Save Material
WASHINGTON - (IP) - By a
sweeping ban on all amusement
construction, the government mov-
ed anew yesterday to flatten the
building boom and save materials
for rearmament.
The National Production Au-
thority forbade, as of midnight last
night, the start of new theatres,
night clubs, race tracks, exhibi-
tions, golf courses, ball parks, sum-
mer camps and ski lodges, pool
halls and football stadiums.
* * *
FORTY-FOUR types of con-
struction were expressly outlaw-
ed. But the ban applies generally
to any structure designed for
"amusement, recreational or en-
tertainment purposes."
At the same time, NPA issued
a compulsory allocation order
requiring the steel industry to
ship 310,000 tons of steel month-
ly to car builders to provide up-
wards of 10,000 new freight cars
a month.
Federal, state and city recrea-
tion projects, as well as private
builders, were barred. Violators
face fines or imprisonment, or
both.
** *
A WARNING of further tough-
ness to come was issued by NPA
administrator William H. Harri-
son. In a statement he said:
"It will be the policy of NPA
to further limit or prohibit con-
struction of additional types of
projects which do not further
the defense effort or increase
the nation's productite capacity.
This will be done, Harrison said,
whenever national defense needs
or materials shortages require it.
Persons who start non-essential
buildings-even types not yet bar-
red-may be forced to halt the
work by federal edict.
THE BAN was expected to bring
a rush of protests from the build-
ing industry. Constructin and real-
ty leaders protested strongly when
Harrison proposed it last week.
The industry then asked the
right to regulate its own use
of materials. Spokesmen said
vast quantities will be saved by
the strict credit contrls already
imposed on home construction,
and by credit curbs still to come
in the financing of new stores
and office buildings.
The builders forecast that cre-
dit control would cut home con-
construction to 600,000 or 400,000
starts next year, as against an es-
timated 1,300,000 in 1950.
Nobel Prize

MayoDoctors
STOCKHOLM, Sweden-(P) -
The 1950 Nobel Prize in medicine
was awarded jointly last night to
two Mayo Clinic doctors and a
Swiss professor for their work on
two hormones that relieve rheuma-
toid arthritis and open a new field
of research on other diseases.
' The winners are Dr. Edward C.
,Kendall, 64, chief of the biochem-
'istry laboratory of the Mayo Clinic
at Rochester, Minn.; Dr. Philip S.
Hench, 54, head of a Mayo Clinic

Pace Tells Plan for Demobilization;
Air Force To Halt All Reserve Calls
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-Secretary Pace said yesterday the Army hopes
to start releasing mobilized National Guardsmen and Reservists next
summer in a program which may be completed before early 1952.
Pace indicated that more American troops may begin to flow to
Europe soon, but he said the Army does not now plan to send any
National Guard units overseas.

Des ignat ion
Of Defense
HDead Urged
WASHINGTON - (P) - Mili-
tary chiefs of the 12 North Atlan-
tic Treaty Nations. recommended
with "urgency" last night that a
supreme commander to direct the
common defense of Western Eur-
ope be set up without delay.
The announcement came a few
hours after the White House dis-
closed that Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower, often mentioned as a likely
choice for the Supreme Command
post, will probably confer with
President Truman this weekend.
An American spokesman declin-
ed to say whether the North At-
lantic Defense leaders had picked
Eisenhower.
In Indianapolis Wednesday, Ei-
senhower told newsmen he was
coming to Washington within a
few days to confer with Defense
Department officials.
The General said he did not
know what the Department want-
ed, but he commented:
"I am happy and pleased, of
course, that the people of Europe
have suggested me to head their
defense army."
At their session yesterday, the
North Atlantic military men also
agreed to set up a new agency de-
signed to make standardization of
arms easier among the Treaty Na-
tions in their combined defense
against communist aggression.

Michigan graduate who admitted
getting $3,500 from the mother of
a classmate in an extortion plot
was ordered held for trial yester-
day.
Recorder's Judge Paul E. Krause
continued a $1,000 bond for 24-
year-old William F. Welke at the

date was set.
Mrs. Katherine Vasu identified
Welke as thenman to whom she
gave the money in Detroit May
31, 1949, after she received a note
saying the life of her son, Cordell,

'Light Up The Sky'
Continues Tonight
The Student Players production

call-up of enlisted reserves.
These facts came out as the
four services set up new pro-
cedures covering the recall and
the discharge of reservists.
The Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and Air Force issued separate in-
structions to carry out Defense
Secretary Marshall's directive of
Monday outlining an "orderly"
policy for mobilization of reserve
units and individuals.
* * *
MARSHALL SAID that reserv-
ists must be kept on active duty
involuntarily only until the in-
creased manpower requirements
of the services can be met, and
reservists or units so recalled have
reached a state of maximum
training..
The Marshall directive replac-
ed the policy of calling reservists
for an indefinite period to hur-
riedly expand the armed forces.
It resulted from complaints of
widely varying methods used by
the different services in sum-
moning reservists to duty.
The Marshall directive called
upon the services to bring their
reserve lists up to date.
Austin Asks
Rejection of
Peace Pact
LAKE SUCCESS -(P- Amer-
ican delegate Warren R. Austin
yesterday urged the UN Political
Committee to reject Russia's pro-
posals for a Big Five Peace Pact
and a one-third cut in the armed
forces of the five powers.
He tagged the proposals an "ice-
berg" plan full of hidden peril.
Austin told the committee the
Russians have shown "no evidence
of a basic change of heart" that
would commit them to help stop
aggression. He said a vote for
Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vis-
hinsky's proposals would be a vote
against those things the UN has
done in the "greatest trial of its
life."
Nationalist China also turned
down Vishinsky's ideas. Its dele-
gate, T. F. Tsiang, said the "Com-
munist regime in China today is
as subject to Soviet aggression
as my government was."

Chinese Reds
Cross Tibetan
Border Line
Enemy Vanguard
Near Neiwutsi
NEW DELHI, India -(R)- A
Communist Chinese "liberation"
army has crossed a disputed fron-
tier zone and knifed into Tibet,
dispatches from Calcutta and var-
ious Communist capitals declared
yesterday.
Though some military authori-
ties have expressed skepticism
about a Chinese invasion of Tibet
at this time because of wintry
conditions setting in across the
Tibetan highlands, the Calcutta
newspaper Statesman said a Chin-
ese vanguard was reliably report-
ed well inside Tibet, only a day's
march from Neiwutsi (Riwoche)
and about 350 miles northwest of
Lhasa, the capital.
* * *
THE DETAILS, contained in a
dispatch from the Statesman's
correspondent at the northern In-
dian city of Kalimpong, indicated
the vanguard was perhaps 100
miles west of the ill-defined
border between China's Sikiang
province and Tibet.
The government of India tele-
graphed its ambassador in Pei-
ping for full information - and
in the meantime sat tight.
"We cannot act on mere news-
paper reports," an Indian Foreign
Ministry spokesman said.
A TIBETAN delegation left New
Delhi only Wednesday for Peiping
for negotiations after weeks of
talks here with Chinese authori-
ties on Red aims in Tibet, which
has been nominally free from
China for 36 years.
The Calcutta Statesman's ac-
count said broadcasts from Lha-
sa, the seat of the 15-year-old
Dalai Lama who is Tibet's spirit-
ual ruler, declared the Tibetans
were determined to fight.
Officials there were described
as shocked and dismayed. The
possibility was raised that the Dal-
a-Lama and other high officials,
of the land, often called "the top
of the world," would flee Lhasa
if resistance crumbled. By the
Stateman's account:
The Chinese Communist troops
are only a day's march from Nei-
wutsi, where 10,000 picked Tibet-
ans stand guard.
AUC Charters
New Chapter
In AnnArbor
A group of thirty faculty mem-
bers and Ann Arbor residents yes-
terday formed a local chapter of
the Atlantic Union Committee.
The committee, a national or-
ganization with chapters in 37
states, is formed for the purpose
of extending federal union prin-
ciples over the democracies now
participating in the North Atlantic
Pact.
ITS IMMEDIATE aim is to have
the Atlantic Union Resolution
which has been before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee since
last year, brought before Congress
for instant action.
The aims of the Atlantic Un-
ion differ from that of the Uni-
ted World Federalists as the
Union forbids the membership
of totalitarian governments, spe-
cifically Soviet Russia.
Yesterday's organizational meet-
ing of the Atlantic Union result-
ed in 30 charter members, among
them Prof. Preston Slosson and
Prof. Lewis G. Van der Velde, of
the history department, Dr. Reub-
in L. Kahn, professor of surgery,
Prof. Lionel Lang of the political
science department and Prof. Em-
eritus Leroy Waterman.

Work Retarded
Construction progress on the
$4,000,000 Angell Hall addition has
been slower than was expected,
according to L. A. Perry, project
superintendent.
Perry attributed this partly to
the uncovering of underground
systems which have necessitated a
change in the architect's plans.
He explained that blueprints were
re-designed because of the need
for lowering the foundation of the
structure.
A shortage of steel has also
hampered operations, Perry said.
He estimated that work was about
two weeks behind schedule but
added that he thought it could be
made up.
