In a solemn broadcast from the White House, the President said "our homes, our nation, all the things we believe in" are menaced by Soviet Communism. * * * * THE PRESIDENT SAID he will declare that "a national emer- gency exists" in a proclamation to be issued today. Saying there is still hope that the free nations, working to- gether, can prevent global conflict, he announced a far-reaching par. tial mobilization program, including: 1. A swift buildup of U.S. armed forces to nearly 3,500,000 men.

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. Reds Threaten East Germans BERLIN-(P)-A law intended to frighten all Germans into the Soviet "peace offensive" camp through penalties up to death for support of Western defense poli- cies went into effect in East Ger- many by the stroke of midnight last night.

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.

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. On the basis of past figures, the (Continued on Page 2) House Passes Em erency DefenseBil 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."
