Be Met By Higher Taxes "WASHINGTON - (P) .- Presi- dent Truman handed Congress and the American taxpayer yester- day a "national survival" budget of $71,594,000,000, with a flock of f'Fair Deal" measures thrown in and a deficit of at least $16,500,- 000,000 to be met from new taxes. The President said the new tax increases, which will hit every- body, could soar as high as $20,- 000,000,000. His budget was by far the larg- est in American history except in time of all-out war. HE EARMARKED almost three- quarters of it for the growing, ready-for-war buildup of this country's military strength and for bolstering the defenses of other free nations against what he call- ed the "imminent possibility" of attack by the "barbaric" forces of Communism. Then, braving the quick and sure wrah of many legislators, he dusted off key sections of his controversial "Fair Deal" pro- gram. and asked their speedy adoption in the interest of high production for defense. These included the Brannan farm price plan, a national health insurance system and-like 'a red flag to most southern lawmakers -revival of the World War Two Federal Fair Employment Prac- tices Commission to wipe out dis- crimination against Negroes and other minorities in' interstate in.. dustries. s s s IN GENERAL, lawmakers of both parties showed willingness to go a long way with the President on his military proposals. But on the rest of his program it was a diffferent story. Many Republicans promptly accused him of trying to disguise "wel- fare state" measures as defense moves, These critics also charg- ed the President failed by a wide margin to cut non-defense spending far enough. Senator McFarland (D-riz), Senate Majority Leader, termed Truman's military program a "must" and added: "I think it will have the general support of Sen- ators on both sides of the aisle." * * * ON THE Republican side, Sen. Bridges of New Hampshire, his party's ranking member of the Fi- nance Committee, said he was "shocked" to discover "provisions for the Fair Deal under the guise of defense spending." Senator Welker (R - Idaho) said the President apparently was trying to put across "wel- fare state theories that were re- pudiated at the polls last No- vember." Truman said the program was designed as a warning to Red leaders in the only language they understand - military strength backed by the will tb fight if at- tacked. Stacy Lawyer To File Appeal To State Court Leonard H. Young, attorney for convicted arsonist Robert'H. Sta- cy, yesterday announced that he will appeal Stacy's 10-year sen- tence before tomorrow night. Young said that he will use 14 points as grounds forrthe appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court. "The appeal will state that the trial was neither fair ndr impar- tial as guaranteed by the Consti- tutions of the United States and Michigan," Stacy's court appoint- ed lawyer said. Among the other points in the appeal are that the verdict is contrary to law and' the great weight of evidence; that the case against Stacy was not pro- ven by evidence aside from the former University teaching fel- low's confession; that the court submitted testimony concerning fires other than the Haven Hall Ulaze, as well as that of a per- son who identified Stacy as "resembling" someone at' the scene of the fire; that the court erred in denying a plea to re- turn the case to the Muncipal Cou.t frnm -a Es tyPnnf ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1951 9 SIX PAGES SIX PAGES d ' Cut in Personnel Seen bRuthvent By RON WATTS President Alexander G. Ruthven yesterday foresaw a "drastic re- duction in teaching and service personnel" as necessary under the appropriation recommendation of Governor G. Mennen Williams. "Teaching and service staffs will have to be cut by at least $1,000,- 000 and 'a further $500,000 cut made in non-salary items under such an appropriation," he added.

To date, 52 University students have been called into service by the reserves. No official plans have been released for calling further reserve units or men, but should the Defense Department's newly proposed plan for an army of 3,462,000 be passed it seems high- ly probable that more reservists will be called. * ,, * AND SHOULD a call be issued the ,college reservists cannot ob-' tain a deferment. If he is an officer the most he can hope for is a postpone- ment. Provided that he is en- rolled in any one of 32 courses. These courses cover engineering and science, medicine and all al- lied fields, psychology and psychi- atric social work, logistics pur- chasing and theology. * * * ALL REQUESTS for postpone-, ments should include a statement from the University certifying the reservist's full time enrollment.- Postponements, however, are not mandatory, and the decision to grant a request is left to the Chief of the reservist's Military District. If the student is an enlisted man there is no announced poli- cy allowing him to even applyE for a postponement. One reserve officer, unofficially said, however, .that if a reservist could complete a degree within six months "it is conceivable that. a postponement might be grant- ed." * * * THE OFFICIAL national policy on calling up reservists states that the active reservist will be called1 before the inactive reservist ex-1 cept where special aptitudes areI needed.I No differentiation will be made, however, in calling non- veterans before veterans.t There is good possibility that a< call for reserve officers will be issued after Jan. 19, the closingi date the Cor's has set for its third recall program campaign fort 7500 volunteer officers.. No figures were availale on how many officers had volunteered,c but unofficial estimates pointedt to a gap between the proposedj figure and the number of volun- teers.E Any further information con-4 cerning the reserves or other unitsi of the armed forces can be ob-< tained at the Armed Services In-i formation Center, 555 Administra- tion Bldg.. MASTER OF MUSIC: 'Williams incorporated in hisan- nual appropriations message was based on ,an expected enrollment of 16,000 students. The University's original re- quest for $16,337,000 had esti- mated the enrollment next fall at 18,000, but when the Korean War conditions became unfavor- able, it pared-down the estima- tion to about 16,000 students and asked for $15,200,000. President Ruthven pointed out that the University's income from fees will be greatly reduced be- cause of a drop in enrollment and a loss of GI payments by the Fed- eral government. * * "SALARY AND WAGE adjust- ments made this year and price increases already experienced will more than wipe out the difference in the appropriation proposed by the Governor and the $11,572,945 the University receives this year," he continued. The University expects a de- ficit'this year of $1,716,000. The University's appropriation request faces an almost identical situation this year as last-a Dem- ocratic governor and a Republi- can dominated Legislature. Re- gardless of party affiliations both branches seem inclined this year, as in the past, to slash theorigi- nal University request. Last year the University asked $13,870,000, but Williams clipped the figure to $12,500,000. Then the Republican Legislature further re- duced the 'figure to $11,572,945. Before the bill was voted on, Ruth- ven declared that such a budget would put the University in the most critical position it had ex- perienced in 50 years. The Democratic minority in the Senate fought the 1950-51 Repub- licans "economy" appropriation bill with a filibuster that collaps- ed after an all-night battle. Final Totals Announced in Phoenix Drive Pledges totaling $154,246 have been collected from students for the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project, according to Mary Lu- beck, '51, campus drive chairman. Some of the pledges have al- ready been paid. The rest will be collected over a three year period, and the University will send re- minders to those students who pledge each June 15 until 1953. The money will be turned over to the general Phoenix Project fund, for distribution according to the projected budget. The student contributions will not be assigned to any particular part of the pro- ject. The intensive student drive has ended with this tabulation. How- ever, some general clean-up.work remains and it will be completed during the first two weeks of the new semester, Lubeck reported. After this work is completed the student committee will disband. New Army Elitch Opened By Truman Volunteers Will. Serve 21 Months WASHINGTON - (P) -.Presi- dent Truman opened a way yes- terday for men from 18 through 25 to volunteer for a. 21-month hitch in the army.. Regular enlistments are for longer periods, and until issuance of yesterday's presidential order changing the draft regulations, men eligible for the 'draft .were not able to volunteer for the shorter term of army service. ,. * .*g IN OTHER developments on manpower: 1. Officers at the Pentagon will have a strength equal to 24 com- bat divisions by summer. -Daily-Malcolm Shatz NEW AIM OFFICERS-New officers of AIM for the spring semester, elected at last night's meet- ing, are (left to right) Dave Belin, '51, senior advisor; Mel Cohen, '51, treasurer; Dave Ponitz, '52, president; Bob Perry, '52E, secretary, and Bob Leopold, '52, vice-president. * 1 l t Ne Pr* * sie .Ponitz Selected New A IM President 2. Senators were told the arm- ed forces soon will resume the World War II practice of ac- cepting for limited service some men who are unable to pass the physical and mental tests re- quired for combat duty. 3. The Defense Department dis- closed it is preparing to ask Con- gress to provide "hazard pay" for soldiers and marines serving in Korea. The present stipulated period of service under the draft law is 21 months, although Congress is con- sidering proposals to extend the term to 27 months or longer, and allow the induction of 18-year- olds. Currently, all males must register at 18, but cannot be draft- ed until a year later. SECRETARY OF Defense Mar- shall disclosed that the Pentagon is seeking to have the draft law amended so that all of the ser- vices will get their manpower" through the selective service sys- tem. At present the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force are procuring their members from volunteers and the reserves. Under Truman's order, an 18- year-old, or a man between 19 and 26 eligible for induction, can go to his local draft board and be placed at the head of the list in- stead of waiting for his number to be reached. * * * (.I New president of the AIM for the spring semester will be Dave Ponitz, '52, of Anderson House. Ponitz, who succeeds Dave Be- lin, '51, of Victor Vaughn House, was elected on the first ballot from a field of three by the as- sembled residence hall housepres- idents and AIM representatives. Other candidates for the post were Mel Cohen, '51, of Prescott House, and Bob Perry, '52E, of Strauss- House. VICE-PRESIDENT in the new AIM cabinet will' be Bob Leopold, '62, an Allen-Rumsey resident. Leopold was elected by acclama- tion. Taking over as secretary of the organization will be Perry, who won out over Don White, '52E, of Wenley House. Cohen was selected by the mem- bers to fill the post of treasurer.

Unuccssfu canidaes f' ti Serge Jaroff Revealed As Man of Two Sides By CLANCY BORNS Serge Jaroff, pint-sized conduc- tor of the 28-man Don Cossack Chorus and Dancers, proved to be a man of two sides last night in his Hill Auditorium appear- ance. When speaking offstage, Jaroff blushed, bobbed his head shyly and with a disarming smile sought the conversational aid of one of his English-speaking Paul Bun- yans. ON STAGE, Conductor Jaroff was complete master of the situa- tion. Without any Stokowskian dinav fnlna n .m m "n bukt able experience, one six-foot Slav told of a performance in March, 1945 before General Dwight D. Eisenhower in Frankfort, Ger- many. Upon finishing the con- cert, Eisenhover requested the en- core singing of "Volga Boatman." The master-of-ceremonies intro- duced the famous Slavic song of slavery as an "American" folk song - and this appendage has stuck. The fact that the Cossacks have sung this song several thou- sand times in concert in this coun- try was no doubt the cause of the reference. Like any brass hat, Jaroff holds Stop Volu ntary Enlistments, DeansUrge An end tto voluntary enlist- ments and sole reliance on selec- tive service for manpower was urged yesterday by twenty Mid- west College deans to "eliminate the uncertainty and confusion in the lives of students." An alar~ming number of stu- dents are* enlisting, before being drafted so they can 'choose a spe- cific branch of the service, ac- cording to Erich. Walter, dean of students, who returned last night from the meeting of the educators in Chicago. "Under our plan," he said, "draf- tees would be given their choice of services insofar as possible." * * THE GROUP, he said, also re- commended: 1. More completeand uniform interpretation by the govern- nment to local draft boards throughout the country to elim- inate the present apparent wide variance in application of selec- tive service policies. 2. That students and their parents be given detailed inter- pretation of the army service classification procedures so that the full opportunities in the armed services, particularly the army ground forces, may be re- vealedd.

Government Clamps Down On Building WASHINGTON -(W) - The government clamped down tight yesterday on the construction of new commercial buildings, prohi- biting ,the starting of virtually all such new projects until Feb. 15. After the freeze period, each pri- vate new commercial building pro- ject must be submitted to the Na- tional Production Authority for approval. The ban is necessary to save materials for mobilization, NPA said. WORK ALREADY under way is not affected. Certain wholesale supply facilities, small jobs and repairs are exempted too. In general, the agency said, the only buildings it will au- therize after the freeze are those needed in the defense pro- gram; those essential to the public health, welfare or safe- ty; or those needed to prevent hardship in a community. During the "freeze" period NPA said permission to start new com- mercial buildings will be given on- ly in "emergencies." The order, during the freeze period and later, applies to all such commercial, construction types as stores, restaurants, office build- ings and hotels, barber and beauty shops, garages, service stations, laundry and dry cleaning estab- lishments, shoe repair and tailor shops, eating places, printing shops and tourist camps. 'TRY AND STOP ME': position were John Worthington, '52, from Allen-Rumsey House, and Sherman Saxl, '52, of Wen- ley House. Rounding out the five - man AIM cabinet will be Belin, who automatically, as retiring presi- dent, moves up to the post of sen- ior adviser. Ponitz, outlining the AIM pro- gram for this coming semester, promised that the organization would strive to perform more concrete services for independent men. "More social activities will be sponsored, such as a spring dance to follow up -the success of the A-Hop, the policy of obtaining reductions on athletic equipment, will be continued, and a 'Program of encouraging good independent candidates for campus positions will again be followed," he said. SAC ToGet. SL1fBiaSBill The latest Student Legislature fraternity anti - discrimination bill will be presented to the Stu- dent Affairs committee today to be acted upon in the near future, George Roumell, '51, SL presi- dent, announced last night. Roumell §aid that he would re- quest the SAC to call an open hearing on the issue before any action. If and when the SAC passes the measure it goes into effect on campus. Passed by a large majority in the SL past December, the five point motion asks in effect that all campus organizations' except those strictly religious in charac- tar must either rid their consti- tutions of any discriminatory clauses which they may have, or prove that they have actively worked toward getting rid of those clauses to the' satisfaction of the SAC by October, 1956. The penalty would be loss of recognition by the SAC. How- ever, the SAC could grant one year extensions of time at its dis- cretion. Nears Front Yank Troops Meeting No Resistance Allies Draw Out Of Wonju Area TOKYO-(P)-U.S. Third Divi- sion troops advanced unopposed yesterday to within 25 miles of Seoul in west Korea. In the central sector, Allied forces made a planned withdrawal from the Wonju sa li e n t to straighten and shorten the defense line. Armor-led reconnaissance forces of the Third Division drove four miles up the road from recaptur-' ed Osan to within five miles of Suwon. It was the continuation of the surprise .advance in the west which gained up to 12 miles and recaptured three towns yesterday. RED TROOPS began retreating north from Suwon yesterday un- der attack by U.S. Fifth Air Force planes which killed or wounded between 1,400 and 1,600 of the en- emy. The pullback below Wonju to the east was disclosed today by the U.S. Eighth Army. There had been no contact with the Reds for 20 hours. For 16 days the U.S. Second Di- vision, including French a n d Dutch troops, had held a horse- shoe-shaped sector controlling a rail and highway network leading south from Wonju. * * * EIGHTH ARMY issued a com- munique which said: Concluding 'the Wonju basin holding action, which cost the enemy thousands of casualties, United Nations troops have mov- ed south to the defensive line established after the withdrawal from Seoul (Jan. 4). This re- deployment will usher in a new phase of the battle of the So- baeks west of the Han River." The Sobaeks block the way to Taegu and other points in the old Pusan beachhead which Allied forces held last summer. Red forces have tried to infiltrate through these ranges and cut in behind the Second Division. "The United Nations line has been straightened and shortened," the communique said of the Won- ju operation. Associated Press correspondent Stan Swinton reported, "Front- line morale soared as weary fight- ing men realized-at least locally -that the Allies had grabbed the military initiative back from the Reds." It was the first time since Nov. 25 that UN forces in the west had reversed their steady fall-back to wards southeast Korea and made limited gains. High Tribunal Rules on Free SpeechIssue WASHINGTON-()-The Su- preme Court ruled yesterday that guarantees of free speech under the Constitution do not extend to persons attempting to incite riot. Free speech in public parks or on the streets came before the high tribunal in three cases. In two of them, freedom of re- ligion also was an issue. The court, setting aside convictions, said requirement for licenses to use public places for meetings is a restraint in advance on freedom of speech and religion. But in the other case, the tri- bunal in a six to three decision upheld a 30-day jail sentence im- posed on a student who was ar- rested while making a political speech on a street in Syracuse, N.Y. Here the court held the con- viction should not he .tnsed onut umorist Cerf *iflSpeak at Hill Bennett Cerf, the "Dynamo of activity" whose name has become a byword in the humor world will appear at 8:30 p.m., today, in Hill' Auditorium to enlighten 'local hu- morists on the current trends of the "Changing Styles in American.
