The judge refused a motion by ment to dismiss the brought against the "This Court must take the comprehensive and valid federal legislation as enacted and de- clare invalid state regulation which impinges on that legisla- tion," it added. Michigan is not affected by the court action. In 1949, the StateI Legislature repealed a similar measure. THE WISCONSIN opinion was the principal one of 18 handed down by the Court, along with an- j nouncements of whether it would review still other cases. Still left hanging, however, was perhaps the most eagerly awaited opinion- whether to uphold the convictions of 11 top Communist leaders ac- cused of conspiring to overthrow the government. In other actions yesterday, the Court: Refused to review a decision that states may not censor mo- tion pictures shown on television. Held that the Federal Bureau of Investigation acted properly in a' Chicago case when it refused to disclose its confidential records in open court. At the same time, the Court declined to decide at this time whether the FBI may refuse in every instance. Ruled that a grand jury wit- ness who admits to Communist membership and then refuses to answer questions beyond that, may be jailed for contempt of court. Refused to review a decision by the U. S. Court of Appeals here that John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers may not force em- ployes of 18 coal mines owned by steel compnies to join the union. The NLRB had ruled that the at- tempt to require membership was an unfair labor practice. Affirmed a decision which up- held a Federal law designed to help states collect taxes on out-of- state cigarettes purchases. The law requires that when a seller ships cigarettes to a buyer in an- other state, the seller must make a monthly report to the Tobacco Tax Authorities of that state. The idea is to enable state and local author- ities to check against taxes claimed to be due. Road Center Devastated by FierceFight Chinese Mass For New Drive TOKYO-(gP) -Leathernecks of the U.S. First Marine Division to- day seized hills south of war- wrecked Hoengsong and turned that Central Korean road hub in- to a no-man's land. T h e Marines hold positions south and southeast of Hoeng- song-a key town guarding the way to Hongchon, Chinese Red assembly center. Chinese Communist buildups behind a maze of trenches and strong points 20 to 30 miles south of the 38th parallel gave fresh in- divations today of preparations for a new do-or-die Red offensive in South Korea. However, Allied troops slogged forword up to four miles with- out opposition in one undefend- ed central sector of the 60-mile broad front yesterday.

Another hazard developed when winds of hurricane strength were forecast on the east-central front. Troops along the line were or- dered to "buckle down" for rain with winds of 60 miles an hour or more. In the West, U.S. 25th Division patrols crossed the Han River and probed within two miles south- east of Seoul but were forced back to the south bank by intense ar- tillery, mortar and machine gun fire.

Meanwhile, Congress authorized the construction of a record-size 60,000 ton behemoth, capable of launching planes carrying atomic bombs.. State Defense Budget Set at $7,126,000 LANSING-(IP)-The State De- fense Council agreed yesterday to presenta $7,126,000 budget to the legislature in the expectation of re- ceiving $3,149,000 more from the federal government and $1,687,500 more from local governments. The request is substantially less than previous estimates of what it would cost for Michigan's civil de- fense program. THE MAJOR ITEM in the pro- posal is $3,500,000 to continue Michigan's unique mass blood typ- ing program. The goal is to have a "walking blood bank" of about 3,500,000 persons. Second largest item was a $3,140,000 grant for fire fighting equipment, including 250 pump- ers, personal equipment for 15- 000 volunteer fire fighters, 250 portable gas driven pumps and 50,000 feet of fire hose. Sixty-five of the pumpers would be placed in critical cities which lack sufficient modern equipment. The rest would be assigned to mo- bile support teams. THE BUDGET includes 125 air raid sirens for outstate cities and 50 large type sirens for Detroit, all on a local matching basis. It includes $300,000 of state money and $231,575 of federal money for medical supplies. Each of 100 first aid stations would be given equipment to handle 60,000 casualties for 24 hours. That is the toll expected from one atom bomb fall. Auditor General John B. Martin, Jr., advised the council to stimu- late the idea that many areas will not experience bombing and should not bother preparing for it. Instead, he said, those areas should be told the facts frankly and directed to train civil defense crews which can aid the strategic ares of the state in case of attack. Brig. Gen. Clyde B. Daugherty, Detroit Defense Director, warned that nearly all outstate communi- ties were concentrating on the re- cruiting of useless air raid forces and ignoring the development of their available welfare facilities to handle refugees from the bomb areas. PETITION SUBMITTED: Extension of Rushing To Be Debated by IFC A proposal to extend rushing for ! nine weeks and the fining of two fraternities accused of dirty rush- Ing will be considered tonight by the IFC Executive Council. The suggestion to continue rush - ing on an informal basis through the ninth week of the semester was made by Clarence "Slug"1 Kettler, '51, Theta Chi. * * * KETTLER presented a petition, endorsed by five others, to the IFC, which agreed to consider the mat- ter tonight.. Such an arrngement was in effect the spring semester of 1948, principally to help several fraternities then on social pro- bation to get pledges. The motive this time, according to Kettler, would be to help fra- Western Union Faces Charge The Western Union Telegraph Company 'was ordered yesterday by Circuit Court Judge James R. Breakey to show cause why it ternities get as many men as pos- sible. "The present draft uncer- tainties have put fraternities in need of all the men they can get." KETTLER'S PLAN would per- mit fraternities to have potential pledges up for dinner or parties any time during the first nine weeks. Any time, the fraternity could pledge the man simply by sending him down to pay his two dollar rushing fee to the IFC. If he had already registered for rush- ing, he would not have to pay again. IFC officials were somewhat dubious of the necessity of this measure. Bob Vogt, 151E, IFC president, pointed out that houses who were unable to get. pledge classes as large as they desired could apply to the IFC for exteided rushing privileges. Also to be judged tonight are the cases of the two houses appre- hended in the act of violating rushing rules by Dan Archahtgeli's Enforcement Committee. Fines of. $5 will be levied if the Executive Council feels the evidence proves Act To Make LimitLaw Change Does No Affect Truman By The Associated Press The 22nd Amendment, barring future presidents from servin more than two elective terms o House, became the law of the land more than 10 yearsain theWhite House last night. Utah and Nevada-the 35th anc 36th states to approve the amend- ment-voted for ratification lasi night, Nevada completing actior at 7:30 p.m. - * ** A THREE FOURTH majority 36 states, wasneeded t make the amendment effective. It will ont apply to President Truman, who was specifically exempted when Congress sub- mitted the proposed amendment to the states in 1947. The last amendment to the con stitution-the 21st-repealed pro. hibition. It became effective Dec 5, 1933. Utah was the 36th stati to ratify that one. NEVADA'S lawmakers stood b: to grab for their state the distinc tion of making the 22nd Amend- ment a part of the constitution. The Nevada senate voted 16 to 1 for ratification minutes aft- er learning that Utah had voted to approve. The proposed amendment ha been kicking around in state leg islatures since March, 1947, bu only 24 states had voted to ratif- until late last month. OTHER STATES voting to rati fy in the last few weeks have bee Indiana, Montana, Idaho, Nei M e x i c o, Wyoming, Arkansas Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, ani North Carolina. Congress specified the amend- ment must be ratified by March, 1954, to become effective: ACTING UNDER a suspensio of the rules, the Minnesota legis lature had placed a joint resolu tion to ratify ahead of other bill and scheduled a vote for 4 p. M today. The amendment provides that a president may serve only two elective terms. A mani who served up to two years of an- other president's unexpired term could still serve an additional eight years. But a vice president succeedin to the presidency and servin more than two years before th term expired would be eligible fc election only once.
