Austin demanded yesterday that the United Nations face facts and condemn Red China for com- mitting aggression in Korea at Russia's behest. The American delegate said Communist China leaders have put their necks "in the Soviet collar," scorned the UN, openly accepted responsibility for the Chinese Red masses fighting in Korea and must accept the consequences. PLEADING FOR positive action to meet Peiping's rejection of the UN cease fire appeals, Austin laid the following points before the po- litical committee: * * * 4 1 1 i . ,a..., of.~t ' r. Cr.. Deans Ask Revisions ofApplications * * * China's Reply SPrecipitates Uncertainty By The Associated Press Many nations of the non-Com munist world seemed unhappy and ,uncertain last night over Red Chi na's reply to the United Nations cease-fire proposal for Korea. France officially said she was ready to brand Communist China an aggressor. But she advised cau- tion-a look before you leap atti- tude. THE BRITISH cabinet met to decide what instructions to send to its UN delegate, Sir Gladwyn Jebb. Indian Prime Minister Jawa- harlal Nehru stuck by his belief that the Red Chinese reply "does not constitute a rejection, pure and simple," of the cease-fire proposal., A similar view was expressed by Canada's external affairs minis- ter, L. B. Pearson, who was a mem- ber of the original UN cease-fire committee. * * * RE TOLD a news conference in iOttawa, however, that there was considerable ambiguity in the lan guage used and indicated he fell -'steps should be taken to get a clearer understanding of what th Chinese mean. In Sydney, Australian exter- nal affairs minister Percy Spen - der declared it "will be a great tragedy for the free world if di- vided counsels prevent the Unit- ed Nations from presenting a united and determined front in the situation which has develop- ed. In Moscow, the controlled press published the reply from Peip- ing, but carried no editorial com- mient. Phoenix Given $110,000 by Steel Company The Great Lakes Steel Corpor- ation yesterday donated $110,0( to the Phoenix Project to boosi the campaign over the half-way mark in its drive for $6,500,000. George Fink, president of Greal Lakes Steel, told President Alex- ander G. Ruthven that the gift had no restrictions and it is tc be used for any phase of ,basic atomic research that the Univer- sity desires. 'Because of the diversified nature of our business," Fink said, "we feel that any advances In the physical sciences, the social sciences, medicine or en- Tgineering will be of material benefit to the company, its em- ployees and customers. ' "It is our understanding that expert investigators in all branch- es of knowledge will be working in the Phoenix Project. There- fore we have decided that our , contribution to this program should be allocated in the manner that the project's administrators' deem most profitable." Great Lakes Steel Corporation is the first member of the steel Industry to participate in the Pro- ject. It is a division of the Na- tional Steel Corporation.

Britain and the Commonwealth countries have not yet made up their minds. .1 Seek Purge, Of Potential Bias Clauses' SL-CED Study Aids in Decision By RON WATTS The Conference of Deans yes- terday issued a recommendation to the heads of all colleges and schools in the University that pre- admission Photographs and ques- tions regarding race, religion, na- tional origin and ancestry be eliminated from admission forms. "The report will become an ex- pression of general University policy," Frank E. Robbins, as- sistant to the president, said. He continued that the conclusions of the report would be given effect in the working out of admission procedures. * *, * THE RECOMMENDATION sug- gested that personal interviews or other individual tests of profes-: sional attitudes be requested onlyi after preliminary screening based on the candidates record. The Conference of the Deans issued their recommendation after reviewing the report of a sub-committee which was ap- pointed by Provost James P. Adams to study certain current practices and procedures in the admission of students to the' University. The sub-committee worked with, members of the Student Legisla- ture and the Committee to End Discrimination in gathering opin- ions and facts. *, * * GORGE ROUMELL, '51, presi- dent of the SL saw the Deans' action as "a sep in the right direction."* "I am very much pleased with the report," he said. CED Vice-President Arthur Buchbinder, '51, remarked, "I am encouraged and proud that the Deans,' Committee has seen fit to recommend the removal of all potentially discriminatory items from applications." In its conclusions the sub-com- mittee headed by Prof. Harold M. Dorr recognized that questions concerning religion, race and na- tivity are felt by some to be a basis for discrimination. - * * * * THE SUB - COMMITTEE also pointed out that although no charges of discrimination are cur- rently lodged against the Univer- sity, certain questions frequently asked serve no substantial pur- pose in the selection of students and may raise suspicions of dis- criminatory practices. The Deans' Committee con- cluded that a statement of fac- tors carefully considered in the admitting process be published in the announcements of the schools and colleges. It also recommended that each unit be encouraged to develop new techniques and procedure in those areas where the questions elimin- ated were deemed valuable in re- vealing character traits, profes- sional attitudes and personal fit- ness. ASSI FOR G REDS PREP OFFEI SI New College Deferment PlanUrged RE E WASHINGTON - (P) -- Earl J. McGrath, United States Com- missioner of Education, aroused a storm yesterday with a proposal that Congress defer from military service half the college freshmen and all the sophomores, juniort and seniors to finish their studies. McGrath told reporters later that the Senate Preparedness Sub-committee, which gave the proposal a hot reception, had completely missed his point. "I intend to ask to be heard again, and I believe I can show them this is not so very much different from what they already are co'nsidering," McGrath said. In his testimony, McGrath es- timated the suggested defer- ments would apply to about 836,- 000 young men. Of this number, he figured in a later statement, 500,000 are in Reserve Officers' Training, are draft exempt or are physically un- fit, leaving 336,000 who he says should be allowed to complete their college studies if at all pos- sible before entering the armed armed forces. Air Force To Call 150,000 Guards, Reserves To Be Activated By The Associated Press The Air Force yesterday an- nounced it is calling at once some 150,000 Reserves and National Guards to active duty with the aim of a quick buildup to 971,000 men. The Air Force call taps 12 more National Guard Wings, 21 Air Reserve Training Wings (all that remain uncalled), most ground supporting units- and many un- assigned reserve personnel. * * * PREVIOUSLY, the Air Force has called up 10 National Guard Wings, a Guard Tactical Control Group, four Reserve Wings, and 50,000 individual Reservists, along with some other supporting units. The department said at least a month's notice would be given units and individual Reservists. Six Reserve Training Center Wings affected are Carrier Wings, to be assigned to duty with the Tactical Air Command between April 1 and May 15. The rest in- clude 11 Carrier Wings and four Light Bombardment Wings, re- porting for duty between March 1 and May 1. The National Guard Wings are mostly fighters. THE AIR FORCE announce- ment that all its remaining Or- ganized Reserve Wings would be called apparently means the 439th Troop Carrier Wing at Selfridge Field is headed for active duty, a public information officer from the Selfridge base said yesterday. Meanwhile, the Administra- tion's Universal Military Service and Training Bill was formally introduced in the Senate on be- half of all 13 members of the Senate Armed Services Com- mittee. Eighteen - year - olds attending college would be deferred until the end of a college academic year. Induction of high school students would be postponed until the age of 19.

In a lecture sponsored by the journalism department, Straight emphasized civil liberties as being the source of much of our strength, and oursole, unique weapon against Communism. "IF THE present process of hardening and shrinking of the spirit of American freedom con- tinues, the United States, no mat- ter what productive or militant strength we have, will go down to defeat," he said. Straight explained that he had had contact with this "hardening and shrinking" through the many letters that he had received protesting against the "liberal journalism" of the New Republic, and can- celling subscriptions. If the right of protest in par- ticular is silenced, he continued, corruption, error, greed and self- ishness will run rampant. "Libe- ral journalism must point out that civil rights are indispensable to our national welfare." * * * STRAIGHT also citec two other factors that would contribute to our national strength: (1) Ex- panding the capacity of the nation to produce and (2) Insuring the division of that production over a span of years. Also essential to our national security is the continuance of economic and military aid to Western Europe, Straight de- clared. He urged aid to some of the countries in Asia-with the qualification that they initiate land and political reforms. In an interview, Straight, who is chairman of the national Amer- ican Veterans Committee, predict- ed that Sen. Joe McCarthy (R., Wisc.) would be defeated in 1952. were determined tv-wee Rudolph Valentino in The Eagle. "It's been so long," they sighed simultan- eously.

Communists Narrow Gap AlongFront Frequent Patrol Clashes Reported TOKYO-W()-Massing Chinese and North Korean Reds yester- day rapidly narrowed the gap between their lines and those of the United Nations in Korea. "It appeared possible that the long-awaited Red offensive to drive United Nations troops from Korea may start rolling again soon after a lull of more than two weeks," AP correspondent Don Huth reported from U.S. Eighth Army Headquarters. a4. * . FREQUENT and sharp actions occurred between Allied patrols and enemy units along the entire Korean front. One Chinese division was be- lieved on the move between Sumon and Ichon, points 17 miles south and 31 miles south- east of Seoul. Chinese and North Koreans built up their forces in Central Korea. * * * A NORTH KOREAN prisoner of war in the central secto said his outfit, the 31st Division, had been ordered to slip through UN lines and infiltrate all the way to Taegu. That was the hub of the old Pusan beachhead held so stout- ly last summer by UN force A mid-morning communique of the Eighth Army said guerrillas were concentrating for action on the central and eastern sectors. S* * * THE HARDEST fight of the last 24 hours was at Kunyangjang, 25 miles southeast of Seoul. The Red units found in Kun- yangjang were believed to be advance elements of 100,000 Chinese Communists moving south from Seoul for a fresh all-out smash at the Eighth Army. Meanwhile, announced Ameri- can casualties in the Korean war yesterday mounted to 45,137, an increase of 2,424 over last week. A-1 Zone Plin Will BeAired A public hearing on Prof. A. D. Moore's proposed A-1 zone for fra- ternity and sorority use will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in the Common Council Chamber to City Hall. The amendment, which would set-up a new residential zone, was proposed as a compromise measure after a number of Ann Arbor citi- zens petitioned that group dwell- ings be restricted from the exclu- sive A and AA zones. Controversy is expected to arise at the meeting as the new ruling would leave nine fraternities out- side of A-1 and would also exclude league and co-op houses from the area. University and IFC representa- tives have announced that' they will take part in the hearing. After hearing the views present- ed tonight, the Common Council will decide the fate of the proposal at a future meeting.

' 'SPIKEHORN' SPURNED: Erection of Mackinac Bridge Urged By The Associated Press Construction -of a five mile bridge across the Straits of Macki- nac at a cost of $87,000,000 was recommended yesterday by a team of consulting engineers. The engineers employed by the Mackinac Bridge Authority said the propo-ml was both physically and economically sound and pos- cilnTln ~nimr-. -vnn f would cost $76,300,000 to con- struct or $87,000,000 if financ- ing charges were included. The engineers proposed con- struction of a brige fiv miles long extending almost due north from Mackinaw City to a point west of St. Ignace where the present un- used causeway is located. * *O*" iversity 'and Sidney Paige of New York, reported that the rock for- mation underlying the straits is more than strong enough to hold the bridge.
