Rebels Lose
Two Towns
Gov. Says Reds
Aided Conspiracy
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico-(P)-
National Guard troops smashed
yesterday at violently anti-United
States Nationalist rebels and drove
them out of two of their strong-
holds with planes and tanks.
Governor Luis Munoz Marin,
describing the rebellion which
spread fire and death through' 10
Puerto Rican centers as a "con-
spiracy against democracy, help-
ed by the Communists," said
the whole insurrection movement
would be quelled in a day or two.
STRIKING AT DAWN, troops
armed with machineguns, bazoo-
kas and tanks,srecaptured Jayu-
ya, 50 miles southwest of San
Juan, and the neighboring town of
Utuado. Fighter plans strafed the
rebels.
The rebels had seized control of
the two towns Monday after bomb-
ing police stations, killing some
policemen and setting many fires.
A police recount of casualties
said 32 persons had been killed
and 35 wounded in the rebellion.
The dead included 21 National-
ists, nine policemen, and one
National Guardsman.
By afternoon, guardsmen were
patroling the two towns, with the
last pockets of resistance appar-
ently wiped out. Jayuya looked as
though an earthquake had struck
it, with several blocks destroyed
and most of the other buildings in
the town of 1,500 charred by fire.
CONTINUED scattered reports
of shootings in San Juan and other
parts of this United States island
territory of 2,149,000 persons in
the Caribbean made it difficult to
estimate the total casualties since
the uprising started Monday
morning.
Munoz said yesterday that the
revolt was definitely connected
with, and probably sparked by,
the island's worst prison break
Saturday, when 111 inmates es-
caped from Rio Piedras Prison
10 miles from San Juan
Earlier government statements
had said there was no connection
between the revolt and the prison
break.
But it was noted that part of
the success of the surprise Na-
tionalist outburst was due to the
fact that police were busy trying
to round up the fugitives.
Defense Plans
Postponed by
French Fears
'Ike's' Appointment
Delayed by Deadlock
WASHINGTON -(p)- France's
old dread of German power last
night led North Atlantic Defense
Ministers to postpone a decision
on a combined army under a su-
preme commander to defend West-
ern Europe against Communism.
Deadlocked on the issue of what
Germany's role shall be in the
historic new defense force, the de-
fense ministers of 12 North At-
lantic Pact nations threw up their
hands temporarily.
THEY REFERRED the matter
to other North Atlantic treaty or-
ganizations, hoping for- a quick
decision.
The action spelled delay for
the widely expected appoint-
ment of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower to the supreme command
post.
The deadlock arose over French,
insistence that Germans be ased
in the mutual defense force in
only small units and under swep-
ing safeguards involving long Steps
toward federation of Europe.
THE UNITED STATES proposed]
what American officials consider
a more realistic plan under pres-
ent circumstances. It called for
German units as large as divisions,t
and lacked the French idea of a
supra-national assembly with .ow-
ers over a combined Europeanj
army.
SL Budget Error
Sets OffInquiry
Misuse of 'U' of Philippines Fund
Leads to New Financial System
(EDITOR'S NOTE This is the second of two interpretative articles dealing
with the finances of the Student Legislature during the past two years.).
By RICH THOMAS
The Student Legislature's fumbling of the University of the Phil-
ippines Fund Drive to the tune of $1,078, described in yesterday's Daily
was not the only failure of student-donated funds to reach their Phil-
ippines' destination.
Even before the SL took over the drive in 1948, possibly $3,500,
raised through benefit shows and voluntary contributions never arriv-
ed at the Philippines.
* * * *
HERE ARE THE FACTS:
The Philippine Fund was started in 1946, when a group of students
suggested that the University adopt some foreign school as its "little
sister."
The suggestion was acceptable to the campus, and the Univer-
sity of the Philippines was seized upon as the most desirable
choice.
During the war, the Philippines institution, located in Manila, was
tragically destroyed.
THE ORIGINAL PLAN was to collect $50,000 from University
students over a period of years to help the Philippines back on its
feet.
The 1946 fund drive netted about $2,500. Books and periodical
subscriptions were bought and sent to the Philippines through
a charity dispensing organization in New York City.
The University received a plaque from Manila recognizing the
arrival of these items and thanking the students for their contribu-
tions.
THE $3,500 RAISED in 1947 was used to buy penicillin and other
sorely needed medical supplies. These supplies were duly shipped
to the New York charity organization.
The University of the Philippines sent no acknowledgement of
receipt; the New York organization sent no financial statement or
other proof of shipment, even after the University had repeatedly
requested them to do so.
« « * «
THUS, QUITE MYSTERIOUSLY, several thousand dollars worth
of medical supplies, paid for by the student body, never reached their
Philippine destination.
That is how things stood when the SL took over, raised $1,-
078 for the Fund, forgot about the Philippines and spent the
money. Now, two years later, the SL has finally paid off the debt
out of its Homecoming Dance profits.
With little done since 1948 in the way of raising more money
for the Philippine institution and with future plans for fund drives
non-existent, here the situation stands: $7,000 raised, $3,500 delivered,
and the $50,000 goal a faded illusion.
* * * * e
MEANWHILE, SL TREASURER Len Wilcox, '52, has introduced
a completely new financial system, to guarantee that the SL is never
again placed in such an embarrassing situation as the Philippine Fund
Drive foul-up placed it.
The new system includes:
1. An itemized budget for all prospective revenues for the year
incluled and all expected committee and other expenses totaled.
The budget, which was mimeographed and distributed to individ-
ual SL members, is the result of a month's consideration on the
part of Wilcox, Deans Erich A. Walter and Walter B. Re and the
SL cabinet. An additional four weeks was spent by the Legislature
itself studying the budget before final approval was given.
Previously, the treasurer merely gave an oral report to the SL,
and the Legislature proceeded to make and spend money solely on the
strength of the treasurer's recommendations.
2. Wilcox retains in his plan a rule previously observed which
makes approvalby the entire SL necessary for any expenditure of
$10 or more.
3. He adds the stipulation, however, that any expenditure, no mat-
ter how small, must be first approved by the chairman of the commit-
tee concerned and then by the treasurer before it can be made. /
4. Further, Wilcox plans to do his own bookkeeping, as a compli-
mentary effort to the official SL accounting which is done by the
Office of Student Affairs. In this way, Wilcox expects to be thor-
oughly acquainted with SL finances during the year.
* * *
THE PRESENT BUDGET, which was cut to the bone to enable
the SL to make up as much of the $1,523 deficit from last year as
possible, calls for expenditures of $2,021. Total income is calculated
at $3,202. Such a budget, if carried out completely, would leave the
SL with a deficit of $358 at the end of the academic year.
However, the unexepected success of the Homecoming Dance, the
financial solvency of Tug Week and the current success
of the SL's Cinema Guild should enable the Legislature to wipe out
its deficit completely and put it on a sound financial footing.

Austin Fights
To Retain Lie
NEW YORK-(P)-Warren R.
Austin fought yesterday to extend
Secretary-General Trygve Lie's
term for three years as a sign of
UN unity against aggression.
Andrei Y. Vishinsky countered
with a denunciation ofdLie as an
American "stooge" and declared
the Soviet Union would not recog-
nize Lie nor deal with him if he
is maintained in office.
The fight took place in the 60-
nation General Assembly. Lie, who
usually sits onthe rostrum during
sessions, left his seat when the
debate began. He spent the- re-
mainder of the day at his home.
United States Delegate Austin
told the Assembly that Lie was ve-
toed in the Security Council by the
Russians to punish him for carry-
ing out the Security Council's de-
cision to resist aggression in Ko-
rea.

Chinese Reds,
Claim Tibet
InternalAffair
By The Associated Press
NEW DELHI, India-Commu-
nist China informed the Indian
government that the Red invasion
of Tibet was a Chinese domestic
affair and of no concern to other
nations, an Indian spokesman said
yesterday.
China's answer to the Indian
protest was handed to Sardar Pan-
nikar, Indian ambassador in Peip-
ing yesterday, the spokesman add-
ed.
FULL DETAILS of the Chinese
note have not been disclosed as yet.
An Indian government spokes-
man refused to reveal the con-
tents of the Chinese reply.
The Chinese note held that Ti-
bet is an integral part of China
and notan independent state as
argued by most of the world.
The note brought back recol-
lections that China had previous-
ly claimed that the invasion of
Tibet is as justifiable as the inter-
vention by India in Hyderabad
affairs in 1948.
THE COMMUNIST answer came
just as the Red troops were re-
ported to be moving through se-
vere snowstorms and over dan-
gerous mountain roads toward the
Tibetan capital at Lhasa.
According to reports from
Gangtok, capital of the tiny
Indian border buffer state of
Sikkim, the Red march is being
made at a time when severe
winter conditions already exist.
The invaders are believed to be
within 200 miles of Lhasa, with
about 10 more days of marching
ahead of them before they reach
their objective.
The Communists are not only
meeting scant resistance, reports
said, but are receiving aid from
a number of exiled Tibetan nobles
who found sanctuary in China
and who hope to regain their old
power.

Slosson Calls
For Assenbly
A new international constitu-
tion should be proposed by the
United States if the Russian veto
continues to prevent effective
operation of the United Nations,
Prof. Preston Slosson told a meet-
ing of the United World Federal-
ists last night.
The UN has been able to act
against the aggression in Korea
only because of the lucky absence
of Russia from the Security Coun-
cil when the decision to intervene
was made, Prof. Slosson said. But
now the Russians are again ever-
present in the Council to block any
action unfavorable to them, he
added.
SECRETARY of State Acheson's
plan to have the bulk of the UN's
business taken up in the General
Assembly is a necessity if the UN
is to accomplish anything toward
maintaining peace, but the weak-
nesses of the General Assembly
make this only a makeshift solu-
tion, he said. '
The equal representation of
all nations, large and small hav-
ing the same vote in the General
Assembly eliminates it from be-
ing considered as a permanent
source of international control,
Prof. Slosson emphasized.
Prof. Slosson declared that Rus-
sia would oppose any change of the
present UN structure and suggest-
ed that a new international fede-
ral charter be drawn up.

THIS DATE will not be extend-
ed," Osterman said.
The photographers will take six
poses, two of which may be in

sphere. '
The senior section of the year-\

of the various colleges and a

AYOT ST. LAWRENCE, Eng.-
(AP)-George Bernard Shaw was re-
ported weakening last night and
running a high fever.
A membef of the 94-year-old
playwright's staff said;
"He .is much weaker. We are
concerned."

SHAW'S DOCTORS discouraged
visitors, but the American-born
Lady Astor was p.ermitted to sit
with him about an hour.
"He gave me such a lovely smile,
but he is very, very tired-much
weaker than when I last saw him
10 days ago," Lady Astor said.
The wiry old Irish wit broke his
left thigh in a fall while pruning
fruit trees in his garden Sept.' 10.
His fever is believed caused by a
kidney ailment. A similar ailment
bothered him a few days after his
accident and he underwent a min-

From Border
Chinese Support
North Koreans
SEOUL- (R)-A lightning dash
by an American column up North
Korea's west coast to the Man-
churian border was halted last
night by a savage Red counter-
attack.
The Reds stopped an armored
column of the United States 24th
Division 32 miles short of its bor-
der objective and prevented. the
column from makingan intended
all-night advance. It planned' to
return to the attack today.
ON THE northeast coast of
Korea, where another American
column was within 51 miles of the
border, Maj. Gen. Edward M. Al-
mond said his 10th Army corps
would attack soon in strength to
determine just how many Chinese
Communist reinforcements stand
in the way.
The Red counterattack in the
northwest, which cost the enemy
100 casualties, was made north-
west of Chongju, captured Mon-
day by the British Common-
wealth 27th Brigade.
On the right flank of the United
States 24th Division, where one
South Korean division was cut to
pieces last week, there were fresh
reports today of Red activity. The
South Korean First Division beat
off the sixth strong Communist
counterattack in the past 48 hours
near Unsan. It is 37 miles north-
east of Chongju.
* *>*
A FIRST Division spokesman
said that 1,000 Reds on horseback
were reported moving south on a
road toward Unsan.
For the second night in a row,
enemy planes appeared over an
area to the immediate rear of
fighting in the northwest. No
bombs were dropped last night.
A few fell the night before. The-
Reds claimed in a communique
that the raiders wrecked vital
bridges.
American planes were out in
force but ground support was
hampered by smoke rolling up
from fires set by artillery shells in
the wooded hills.

GEN. ALMOND disclosed that
at least one Chinese Red regiment
had marched to within 15 miles
of the important industrial center
of Hamhung on the east coast.
In the northwest the United
States First Cavalry Division
rushed up tanks and artillery t
bolster the hard-hit South Kor-
ean Sixth and Eighth Divisions.
The Reds recaptured Huichon,
railroad town 58 miles southeast
of the Communist provisional cap-
ital of Kanggye,
In the northeast the resurgence
of Red strength in a fight south
of the big Changjin reservoir fell
on the outnumbered 27th regiment
of the South Korean Third Divi'

Ann Arbor police reported "us-

night, as children of various sizes,

sallied forth in search of some-

It was the hottest Hallowe'en in
history, the mercury soaring to a
record-breaking 80 degrees. The
heat apparently took much of the
enthusiasm out of the holiday re-

dumpings.
