Truman Demands
End of Rail Strike
Young Says
Robert H. Stacy has decided not
to take the stand in his defense
against charges of arson in the
June 6 Haven Hall blaze, Leonard
H. Young, Stacy's attorney, said
last night.
Young and Prosecutor Douglas
K. Reading each rested their re-
spective cases yesterday after-
noon, and after they present theiy
arguments this morning, the Jury
will presumably be charged.
EARLIER yesterday, Young said
that Stacy would testify in his own
behalf, but following a long af-
ternoon recess asserted that "Sta-
cy told me that he just didn't feel
up. to it."
The defense will let the case
go directly to the jury on testi-
mony offered by the state alone.
This testimony, Young claimed,
failed to prove a case.
* *
YESTERDAY morning, Dr. O.
R. Yoder, head of the Ypsilanti
State Hospital, told the court of
examining Stacy on Oct. 10, the
morning after his arrest. He ex-
plained that Stacy was "very emo-
tional, very nervous, and there
were some tears running down his
face." But "he cooperated well
and could answer questions in a
coherent manner."
Dr. Yoder said that Stacy
had told him he wanted to kill
1 himself at the time of his arrest
and questioning.
Dr. Yoder further testified that
Stacy told him "I have just signed
a confession that I burned Haven
Hall . . . I did it (set the fire)
just as easily as if I had taken a'
cup of coffee." Stacy was said to
have remarked that he "couldn't
understand why I should do this."
Shortly after prosecutor Read-
ing rested the case for the
state, Circuit Judge James P.
Breakey, Jr., refused' a request by
Young for a directed verdict of
not guilty.

But they emphasized that this
was the first general increase since
the period directly after the war.
The 10 per cent boost con-
trasted sharply with the Bureau
of Labor Statistics' Consumer
Price Index. The index shows
that since 1946, the price of liv-
ing in the United States has ris-
en by more than 25 percent.
It was not immediately clear
whether the general price boost
included top University officials.'
It was presumed, however; that it
did, and that the increase took in
everyone from the lowliest janitor
to President Ruthven himself.

REINSTATED:
Garg Returns to Roster
Of Student Publications
By CHUCK ELLIOTT
Garg is back.
The favorite campus humor
magazine returned to the roster
of official student publications
last night, as the Board in Con-
trol of Student. Publications con-
ditionally okayed a reinstatement
petition.
The Board stipulated only that
satisfactory financial arrange-
ments be concluded before the of-
ficial status becomes permanent.
* * *
OFFICIALLY silenced' last
spring after 41 years of near-con-
tinuous publication, the Gargoyle
survived sufficiently to publish
two issues off campus this fall.
However, notified of the reinstate-
ment, Garg staffers happily de-
clared, "We're in and its great to
be back."
They decided to petition the
Board for return to campus for
several reasons, according to
surroundings were romantic now,
but might not always seem so.
The off-campus Garg was no
weakling, however. Both issues
this fall were smashing sell-outs.
* * *
DURING its long reign on cam-
pus, Garg withstood many shocks
that would have meant death to
a less hardy journal.
Ever since 1909, when it ap-
peared just in time for the J-Hop
of that year, Gargoyle has par-
layed their own peculiar type of
humor, cartoons, and literature
into an enduring campus institu-
tion. Only during the war years,
when Michigan was unusually
austere, did the magazine tem-
porarily go under.
When Garg was muffled
again last spring, it was report-
edly because of financial in-
stability and an "insufficient"
amount of student interest in
working on the magazine. At

reulicans
Seek Ouster
Of Acheson
WASHINGTON -- (P) - Senate
and House Republicans yesterday
formally condemned Secretary of
State Acheson and demanded that
he be fired.
Republican Senators, by a 23
to 5 vote, followed the earlier ac-
tion of the House Republican cau-
cus in adopting overwhelmingly a
resolution calling for Acheson's
dismissal.
BOTH DEMANDED a State De-
partment "housecleaning." The
Senators added a pledge of co-
operation in the national crisis.
The Senators' action was an-
nounced by Senator Millikin of
Colorado, chairman of the Re-
publican conference of 43 Sen-
ators, after a 2 hour and 15
minute closed door meeting.
Democratic reaction indicated
the Republicans may be in for
a fight.
and said draft calls are being
raised.
2. Price controls which will
be immediately clamped on
goods vital to "defense produc-
tion and the cost of living." The
Government is to undertake
"wage stabilization" in the same
fields.
Truman said the United States
stands ready to negotiate peace
without appeasement. But he
warned Russia bluntly that this
country will never yield to aggres-
sion. Instead, he said, it will serve
as "an arsenal for the defense of
freedom."
*i * * ,
THEN, IN WORDS foreshadow-
ing an' era of austerity for the
American people, the President
laid down the terms of "the big
job" ahead:
Higher taxes . . . longer work
hours for many . . . sacrifices
. . . cutbacks on civilian pro-
duction . . . increased outputs
from farms and factories . . .
sharper controls over the whole
economy.. . .
"We must prevent inflation and
stabilize the cost of living," Tru-
man asserted. "We must take di-
rect measures to keep prices in
line."
HE ANNOUNCED that he has
directed the military command to
achieve a goal of 3,500,000 men in
uniform " as soon as possible."
"The Army and the Navy will
be able to do this within a few
months," Truman said. "It will
take the Air Force somewhat
longer."
Outlining the steps for a rapid
speedup in production of military
equipment, the President went on:
"Within one year, the rate of
production of electronics equip-
ment for defense will have multi-
plied four and one-half times."

THERE WAS no immediate of-
ficial word on what the new air-
plane production rate. would be.

WASHINGTON-(A )-A $17,-
809,304,424 emergency appropria-
tion bill was passed by theHouse
by voice vote yesterday and sent,
to the Senate.
The total includes $16,845,181,-
000 for the military establishment
and almost $1,000,000,000 for the
Atomic Energy Commission.
* * *
THE BILL now goes to the
Senate, where swift approval is
expected.
The only change made by the
House during five hours of de-
bate was elimination, on a tech-
nicality, of a $224,000,000 allot-
ment for the Maritime Commis-
sion to build some fast cargo
vessels.
Rep. Cannon (D-Mo.) asked ap-
proval of the big bill and described
it as the first- installment on a
"preparedness program that will
extend to astronomical heights."
He is chairman of the House Ap-
propriations Committee.
LEGISLATORS in both houses
pictured the urgency.
"We must be as strong as we
can--as soon as we can. We hope
we can avoid war (in which) our
shining cities would be rubbish--
even if we win," Cannon declar.
Rep. Mahon (D-Tex.), chair.
man of the military appropria-
tions subcommittee,rdeclared "full
scale war may possibly be upon
us at any moment."
