LAKE SUCCESS - (IP) - The
United States and Britain yester-
day endorsed a proposal by 13 As-
ian and Middle East countries for
the United Nations to see if there
can be a cease fire in Korea.
The United States, however,
barred any political decisions on
the Far East until a cease fire is
in full effect.
THE PROPOSAL was laid be-
before the UN Assembly's Political
Committee by India's-Sir Benegal
N. Rau. Rau told the delegates
that China apparently is movingj
toward a Monroe Doctrine for the
Far East. He said also that Red
China's Ambassador here, Wu

The combat team had reached
the North Korean border, captur-

has been a well-guarded secret
ever since it was ordered to with-
draw more than a week ago.
Swinton reported that the Chi-
nese Reds were "ominously silent"
in the northeast sector.
This quiet was in market con-
trast with fierce resistance by the
Reds during the two weeks that a
25,000-man United States Marine-
Army escape force battled out of
a series of enemy traps from
Changjin Reservoir to the Ham-
hung-Hungnam area on the east
coast where a UN evacuation fleet
was waiting.
QUIET also was reported in
West Korea today except for pa-
trol actions - largely by South
Koreans against bypassed North
Koreans near the 38th parallel.
American and South Korean
patrols continued to operate north

The Far East Air Force report-
ed that its raiders attacked Com-
munist convoys north of the 38th
parallel last night.
The convoys - as usual -were
trying to operate under cover of
darkness. A Communist train was
attacked by light bombers at Sin-
anju which is on the Chongchon
river, 40 miles north of Pyong-
yang.
War vessels meanwhile contin-
ued to shell the coast and carrier
aircraft hammered Chinese troop
concentrations. These assaults ap-
parently slowed down Chinese ef-
forts to capitalize on their original
attack which nearly cut off the
Marines and threatened the whole
perimeter.

Stirs Wrath
Truman Attacks
Louisiana Politics
WASHINGTON-(P)-President
Truman, the trigger-tempered let-
ter writer,has dashed off another,
one-deploring the "low" state of
politics in the recent campaign.
It was addressed to Rep. Hebert
(D-La), a states' righter and cri-
tic of the administration, who
promptly replied that this display
of "political distemper" was re-
grettable.
* . .*
IT ALL started Dec. 5 when
Hebert wrote asking the President
to appoint a day of prayer that
Providence would endow officials
with the wisdom and courage to
make the right decisions in the
present world crisis.
In a two paragraph reply on
Dec. 7, Truman called attention
to his Thanksgiving Proclama-
tion urging prayers for peace,
and said he believed that "ef-
fectively answers your sugges-
tion."
The President then added:
"I am extremely sorry that the
sentiments expressed in your let-
ter were not thought of before No-
vember 7, when the campaign in
your state, Utah, North Carolina,
Illinois and Indiana was carried on
in a manner that was as low as
I've ever seen and I've been in this
game since 1906."
* * *
IN A REJOINDER on Dec. 8,
Herbert wrote Truman :
"I am stunned by the con-
tents of your letter, of Dec. 7 in
reply to my letter of Dec. 5.
"It is indeed exceedingly regret-
table that you failed to grasp the
real purpose and intent of my
suggestion, but it is even more re-
grettable that you saw fit to gra-
tuitously inject political distemper
in your reply."
Truman's letter was written one
day after he threatened to beat
up a Washington Post music cri-
tic for saying his daughter Mar-
garet's voice was flat.
In other letters the President
has:
Said he wouldn't appoint John
L. Lewis dogcatcher.
Described the Marines as a
Navy police force with a propa-
ganda almost like Stalin's-a crack
for which he later apologized.

WASHINGTON - (P) - Signs
that the United States economy

ings in the 1930's.
With all four speakers on the
Michigan Forum last night agree-
ing that discriminatory clauses in
campus group constitutions should
be removed, the debate centered

Ballots Opened
Yesterday To
Decide Election
DETROIT-UP)-The final batch
of ballots which will decide wheth-
er the Republicans will surrender
or fight on with the governorship
vote recount was opened here late
yesterday.
Former Gov. Harry F. Kelly and
other GOP leaders admittedly were
ready to call it quits barring a ma-
jor upset of canvass returns in
the 67 out-countyWayne precincts.
Behind their reasoning was the
knowledge that Democratic Gov.
G. Mennen Williams held a 4,101
vote margin with roughly three
fourths of the nearly 1,900,000}
votes recounted.
With the count complete in 3,201
of the State's 4,355 precincts re-
counted, these were the totals:
Williams (D) 934,213
Kelly (R) 930,112
For the first time since the re-
count got under way Dec. 2, Kelly
picked up a big chunk of votes in
one of the first of the "priority"
precincts checked.
A total of 649 ballots were
thrown out in nearby Nankin
township precinct over vigorous
protests by Democratic leaders.- Of
these 432 were for Williams, 210
for Kelly and seven had no vote
for governor.
The invalidated, ballots appar-
ently had been initialed on the
corners before the corners were
torn off. Only three ballots in the
entire precinct were allowed.
der, '53L, argued against action
by the SL or the University.
* s
THE SL motion if passed would
have the Student Affairs Commit-
tee deny recognition to any cam-
pus group which, by 1956, had not
eliminated bias clauses from its
constitution. The SAC could grant
yearly extensions to this time li-
mit if the group could prove that
there was a substantial probability
that the clause would be elimi-
nated in the near future.
Dawson argued that it would
be a wise move for the SL to
pass and the University to en-
force removal of discrimination
clauses because it would force
action at the group's national
convention.
Johnstone countered, saying that
the time limit in the SL motion
would be unfair to many house
groups which were sincerely in-
terested in removing the -clauses
but couldn't because of opposition
at the national level.",
BLUMROSEN emphasized that
the SL motion is aimed at dis-
crimination, not at fraternities.
"Fraternities are now under
pressure with attacks mounting
each year. Removal of the dis-
crimination clauses would elim-
inate a wide area of attack on
fraternities."
Ryder said t h a t legislation
against the discriminatory clauses
would only result in pushing the
clauses underground through the
use of secret rituals and gentle-
man's agreements among the fra-
ternities.
Ryder asked that representatives
of the Association of Independent
Men and the IFC meet together
and discuss the problem openly.
The small crowd of 120 included
many SL members and some mem-
bers of the SAC.
Also last night, Bill McIntyre,
'53, SL cabinet member indicated
that a clarification of the SL dis-
criminatory clause motion would
be introduced at tonight's SL
meeting.

Stac's Trial
Slated Today
In CityCourt:
The trial of Robert H. Stacy,
University teaching fellow charg-
ed with arson in the June 6 Haven
Hall fire, is scheduled to begin at
9 a.m. today in the Ann Arbor
circuit court.
Stacy stood mute at his Oct.
31 circuit court appearance, when
a not guilty plea was entered for
him by his attorney, Leonard H.
Young.
** *
HE ADMITTED setting the
blaze soon after his arrest on Oct.
10, but later repudiated his con-
fessions, according to police.
Today's court session will
probably be taken up largely
with picking a circuit court
jury to hear the case.
Circuit Court Judge James R.
Breakey, Jr., who will reside,
earlier denied a motion by tacy
lawyer to have the start of the
trial delayed until next week. He
also denied a move to force the
prosecution to issue a statement
explaining the exact place and
way tat Stacy is alleged to have
started the blaze.
Yesterday morning, Judge Brea-
key granted a motion by Young
to compel the state to include four
psychiatrists as prosecution wit-
nesses.
Prosecutor Douglas K. Reading
will handle the state's ease against
Stacy.
Revise GI Bill,
Teague Asks
WASHINGTON - (P) - Chair-
man Teague (D-Tex.) of a special
House committee digging into al-
leged abuses in the GI education
program said last night a "thor-
ough overhauling" of the system
is needed.
The statement came after two
days of testimony from trade
school operators dealing with the
practices of furnishing tools to
trainees at government expense.
He said arrangements and agree-
ments between manufacturers,
supply houses and school oper-
ators "resulted in some detriment
to the government in the form of
higher costs for these tools than
would have been necessary."

Committee Plans
Strict Draft Law
WASHINGTON - (P) - The
Army called yesterday for a to-
tal of 160,000 draftees in January
and February, nearly doubling the
quotas it had announced previous-
ly for that period.I
It acted in line with President
Truman's decision that the U.S.
must raise its military manpower
sights beyond the goal set before
the recent reverses in Korea,
2,800,000 men by next June 30.
* * *
JANUARY'S QUOTA was'raised
from 40,000 to 80,000 and that for
February from 50,000 to 80,000.
The Navy and Air Force continued
to rely on volunteers.
Selective Service Headquarters
said the Army's increased calls
would require the states to dip
at a faster pace into the pool of
men now subject to the draft.
This pool is composed of those
aged 19 to 25, inclusive.
A Selective Service spokesman
told a reporter that he believed
the new January and February
quotas could be filled without
changing the draft law or the
existing regulations issued by the
President, like the one which
exempts a man who has any de-
pendents.

A MOVE to marshal support at
the Jan. 3 session of Congressfor
a systemof Universal MilitarysSer-
vice was started during the day
by 25 scientists and other public
figures.
Under their proposal, every
man except the totally unfit
would be called up for two years
service on reaching 18 or on
graduation from high shool.
Sponsors said the plan would
protect the Nation against -the
day when Russia no longer fear-
the atomic bomb.
In the first statement by a new-
ly-formed Committee on the pre-
sent danger, President James B.
Conant of Harvard University and
the 24 other committee members
said:
"THE HOUR is at hand when
our country must mobilize its
manpower and resources on a scale
great enough to meet the real and
present danger, and that scale is
very great indeed."
To meet this danger, the com
mittee said the U.S.,will need an
armed force of at' least 3,500,000
men.
Meanwhile, in Helena, Mont.
two Roosevelt County Draft Board
members, who wanted to stop call
ing men unless the atom bomb *
used, were fired yesterday.

In Emergency
WASHINGTON- (M)-Military
reservists all over the country are
asking: "What happens to us if
President -Truman declares a na-
tional emergency?"
Defense Department officials,
asked to clarify the situation, ex-
pressed the following views today:
1. The October "slow-down"
policy in calling reserves to active
duty, though technically still in
effect, is not being carried out as
originally planned, because of the
pressure of events in Korea.
2. If a national emergency is de-
clared, this might be the occasion
for throwing the "slow-down" pol-
icy out the window entirely.
3. But a declaration of national
emergency would not, in itself, re-
quire reservists to report for ac-
tice duty. It would not automati-
cally mean the mobilization of re-
servists. The Army, Navy and Air
I Force would continue to use their
