Douglas MacArthur notified the United Nations yesterdpy that Chinese Communist troops are fighting UN forces in Korea. The United States promptly called for a special Security Council meeting today to consider this turn of events. THE CHARGE of Red Chinese intervention presented the UN with the gravest crisis in its five-year history. At a tense Council meeting this afternoon chief U.S. delegate Warren R. Austin presented MacArthur's statement that "the United Nations forces are meeting a new foe" in Korea. Soviet delegate S. K. Tsarapkin took notes as Austin read the de- G olicy kttack.s Far of 0n EfV* X-I) Eastern Election SlaBa AN ANTICIPATED big push by three to four Chinese-North Kor- ean divisions failed to materialize. The lull and the Communist pull back had American staff officers puzzled. A First Corps spokesman said there had been a noticeable withdrawal before U.S. 24th Division troops holding a bridge- head across the Chongehon Riv- er in the Anju sector, 42 miles north of Pyongyang. The spokesinan warned there still were large numbers of Reds in the bridgehead area. He said the Communist, apparently were regrouping. STREAMS OF North Korean refugees poured across the Chong- chon River into areas held by Uni- ted Nations forces. The refugees said they feared Chinese Com- munist troops, air raids and ground Pighting. Some, 20,000. villagers had crossed the river. At dawn today the Reds stab- bed at the South Korean line about four miles northeast of Kung, 47 miles north of Pyong- yang. They were repulsed with the help of American artillery. Elements of two U.S. regiments - six miles north of Anju had been pushed back 1,200 yards in a morn- ing Red attack which was halted at 7 a.m. ONE HUNDRED air miles to the northeast, U.S. Marines beat off a Chinese counterattack south of theChangjin Reservoir. The Mar- ine Seventh Regiment's offensive was stalled for the fourth day by heavy Chinese pressure, which the Leathernecks met only by desper- ate hand-to-hand fighting on the snowy approaches to the dam. In northeast Korea, 60 air miles northeast of the Marines' posi- tions, elements of the U.S. Seventh Division's 17th regiment dug in along the chill south banks of the Ungi River nine miles above Pung- san. Dean Says No Discrimination ShownGarg No discrimination was shown by the University in prohibiting the sale of the Gargoyle on campus last Friday, according to Dean Erich A. Walter of the Office of Student Affairs. Prior to last Friday representa- tives of the Gargoyle requested permission to distribute their pub- lication on campus. But permission was refused be- cause the magazine is no -longer officially recognized by the Uni- versity, Dean Walter said. Following the Student Affairs Office ruling many students felt that discrimination had been shown because another commer- cial magazine, Campus, was sold on the Diagonal last year. _Dean Walter explained thathe was not aware of this and that permission to sell Campus on Uni- versity grounds was never granted. The University regulation appar- ently did not hinder Gargoyle sales however, as a record 3,300 copies were sold. Group Hits Draft Of CollegeYouth EAST LANSING - (P) -- The - Michigan College Association, com- posed of all the state's accredited colleges, yesterday went on record as opposing the draft of college youth. A resolution adoted by the As- SL Forum To Debate On .Draft An all-student d e b a t e on1 "Should Students Be Given Spe- cial Consideration Under a Peace- time Draft" will take place at 7:30 p.m. today in the Architecture Auditorium, under the sponsorship of the Student Legislature's Mich- igan Forum Committee. "The debate will be conducted along the lines of the very suc- cessful discussion of the campus fraternity-independent issue which was held last spring," Audrey Smedley, '53, chairman of the For- um, said. The students arguing in favor; of special consideration will be Bob Bard, '53, and Gordon Mac- Dougall, '52, while Dave Belin, '51,, and Russell Church, '52, will op- pose such a plan. "Each student will have eight, to ten minutes to present their ar- guments, and then a cross exami- nation will follow," Miss Smedley said. "Following the debate, during which the audience will have a chance to question the candidates, the audience will have a chance to evaluate the general value of the debate and the debaters," Miss Smedley asserted. "General forms have been print- ed for the purpose, she reported, "and the Forum hopes to get many helpful suggestions through them." Shaw Funeral Service Held LONDON- =)--George Bernard' Shaw's body was cremated yester- day without a preacher or a pray-1 er. The great playwright, believed by most of the world to be an atheist but said by some to have believed in God, had the kind of funersl he wanted-almost. The'service was in the Golders' Green Crematorium in a residen-J tial section of London.' He had wanted no flowers. But admirers from all over the worlds sent wreaths. One came from the1 British Communist Party. Shaw had called himself a Communist. (tailed account of specific Chinese Communist formations that had been identified by MacArthur's in- telligence officers. Much of the re- port was based on the interroga- tion of Chinese Red prisoners. It said 2,500 Chinese Communist sol- diers had moved into Korea as early as Oct. 16, THE UNITED STATES asked for no discussion of the case yes- terday. Diplomatic sources said the 11-nation council p r o b a bly would be asked to issue an order repeating earlier UN calls for all nations to withhold aid from the North Korean Reds This request could be worded so as not to name the Chinese Communists specifically. After the issuance of such an' order, the informants said, there probably would be some sort of waiting period to see if the Chinese Communists'were pulling out of Korea. There was corridor speculation that Russia might come forward with a cease-fire proposal coupled with an appeal to the Chinese Reds and the UN troops to pull back and try to negotiate a settlement. Tells Strides In Japanese Constitution The new Japanese Constitution is an "entrance examination" for Japan's admittance to the United Nations, Judge Kotaro Tanaka, chief justice of the Japanese Su- preme Court said yesterday. Judge Tanaka is one of a mis- sion of six Japanese justices who are currently touring the United States under the auspices of the Supreme Allied Command in the Pacific. They visited Ann Arbor yesterday, taking part in round table discussions set up at the Uni- versity Law School. Tanake expressed the hope that Japan under its new law would soon be admitted to the UN. One of the omportant changes wrought by the Constitution is the independence of the courts from the cabinet, Judge Tanaka said. "Judges were previously under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Jus- tice," he explained. "But now, that office has been abolished, and our positions are guaranteed," he said. Med School Defended On Applications Whitaker Claims Queries Relevant "No information concerning an applicant for the University medi- cal school is irrelevent," Wayne L. Whitaker, Secretary of the medi- cal school, said Sunday. Addressing the Unitarian Stu- dents Group, Whitaker explained the admissions committee's use of certain questions on medical school applications which have been attacked by the Committee to End Discrimination. "OUR MAIN PURPOSE in re- questing detailed data on a can- didate for entrance is to obtain as complete a,background as pos- sible about the individual so we can consider him with knowledge and understanding," he stated. "Photographs on application forms are required in order to detect fraudand help the inter- viewer remember the applicant when his case is discussed be- fore the admissions committee," Whitaker said. "The request for former name, religion, place of birth, occupation of parents and other such infor- mation is also in line with the general principle of getting a large quantity of background informa- tion," be added. Whitaker felt that a study of med-'al school applications which was recently undertaken on cam- pus would result in additional re- quirements of information. He voiced his opposition to the use of quota systems in colleges. He said he had joined in support of a resolution passed by a region- al conference on discrimination in higher education which condemn- ed such practices.

Truman INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - () -- President Truman voiced to the world yesterday the firm convic- tion that the free nations inevit- ably will prevail against the tyran- ny of "Communist imperialism."

Dean Walter refused to discuss the raid. He said it would be un- fair to the fraternity to comment before the hearing.

For the third straight day, a topflight GOP leader tried to put the blame for the Chinese Com- munist intervention on the Demo- crats' political doorstep as a fail ure of Truman Far East policy. * * * YESTERDAY Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, campaigning for' a third term as governor of New York, had a dawn-to-midnight television show. He plunged right into the Chinese invasion of Korea. "This very great tragedy," Dewey said, c~ould have been averted "if we had supported Chiang Kai-shek and had not let his government fall, or if we had not cleared out of Korea.

Political Clubs Plan on Busy Election Day FINAL WHISTLE SOUNDS: SAuthorities Ask End' Of Coed Football Games Most football-minded coeds passed the ball away this week. The women's football season was cut short by a request from health service officials, the Women's Physical Education Department and the Office of the Dean of Women to seriously consider the dangers of the primarily male sport. THE REQUEST pointed out that constitutionally women are not built to play football because they run greater risks of injury to their intestines. It cited the large num- ber of football injuries which had already been treated at health service. But coeds were thrilled that the request was not a ban. "Leaving it up to us to decide whether we'll play football or not is tremendous," Joyce Howard, '51, ing for Collegiate Sorosis which annually indulges in the classic 'Mud Bowl' game on Homecoming day reported that her house had reached no final decision on the football question. "We all see the Deans' point of view though, and we're glad they left it us to us," she report- ed. "The only reason the house hasn't decided yet is that we haven't had a serious injury in ten years. We have an unwritten' agreement with the Thetas that the Mud Bowl game isn't played for blood and that makes the dif- ference." The Pi Beta Phi house, which plays the traditional Powder Puff Bowl, has taken final action on the ban, according to athletic manager Abby Funk, '51. 'OUT OF THIS WORLD': Thomas To Speak On Tibet Journey Lowell Thomas Jr., who has just returned from the Forbidden City of Lhasa, high in the Tibetan Him- alayas, will pictorially describe his journey at 8:30 p.m. today in Hill Auditorium.

The religion is Buddhism, and the Tibetan's main concern is to live the life of good Buddhists. In this way he may reach 'Nirvana,' the spiritual world, without too many reincarnations? POLITICALLY, t h e Tibetan state is feudalistic, but the popu- lation's interest in religion com- pletely overshadows the political aspect of life. More than one fourth of the male population are and purple, canary-yellow head- dress and five-inch long turgoise ear-rings. Overlooking the forbidden city is the Dalai Lama's palace known as the Potala, which equals the .Empire State Building in size. The lofty stone structure with flashing golden domes was built without the aid of modern engineering, a feat comparable to the erection of the Pyramids of Egypt. It, too, is included in the Thomas pictorial account. Crowning the filming achieve- ments is the record of activities in the largest monastery in the Today is D-Day, for the campus political clubs. Along with the parent political parties throughout the nation the campus groups will go all out to insure the election of their par- ties' candidates.
