THE ANNOUNCEMENT- from
Prime Minister Attlee's office said
Bevin will remain a senior mem-
ber of the Cabinet with "specific
duties that are now being ar-
ranged." His title will be Lord
Privy Seal.
Bevin gave up the job he loved
on his 7th birthday, resigning
because of illness - piles, heart
disease, asthma and a recent
bout with pneumonia. Politi-
cians in all parties had demand-
ed a stronger man to guide fr-
eign affairs in these troubled
times.
Morrison, 63, will combine his
new job with that of Deputy
Prime Minister, a position he has
held since 1945.

Tito Protests
Movement of
Soviet Troops
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia-(P-
Premier Marshal Tito's govern-
ment protested officially yester-
day against the movement of
Soviet arms and troops around
Yugoslavia's borders.
The Yugoslav people w e r e
warned to gird themselves against
the possibility of an invasion from
t h e Russian - led Cominform
states.
The warning came from Deputy
Foreign Minister Ivo Vejvoda. He
delivered it in issuing a 481-page
white paper in which the govern-
ment accused Russia of applying
"direct military pressure" against
this independent-minded Com-
munist nation.
The White Paper traced the
developments of the widening
breach between Tito's government
and the Moscow-dominated Com-
inform- since their break nearly
three years ago. It said there had
been nearly 2,000 border incidents
between Yugoslavia and her east-
ern neighbors-Romania, Bulgar-
ia and Hungary-since June, 1948.
Others were attributed to Albania,

By ZANDER HOLLANDER
The state legislature, Board of
Regents policies, and a dozen oth-
er recurrent problems were dis-
cussed yesterday as Democratic
Regents candidate Wheaton Strom
took a long look into the workings
of the University.
The Escanaba attorney was at-
tending a Young Democrat re-
ception in his honor at which his
announced intention was to get
an understanding of the students
and their problems. Before the
session was over theestudentt,
around 25 in number, had a good
look at Strom's own ideas.

the paternalism here. I have al-
ways had little liking for arbitrary
control of the individual."
Strom went on to rap the
principle of the "speakers ban,"
instituted at the University in
1947. Recalling the prevention
of an on-campus Phillips-Wer-
nette debate on Communism, he
asserted that the University ac-
tion in the case was "undemo-
cratic in principle and demon-
strated a lack of faith in the
students of this University."
But, Strom stressed again and
again, the real problems of the
University are not here but in the
state legislature.
"I would consider it the func-
tion of a Regent to work constant-
ly on securing adequate appropria-
tions for the University. But the
real question involved in obtain-
ing funds is, how far this Univer-
sity should knuckle down to the
legislature on matters of prin-
ciple?"
Strom saw a possible answer to
this question in "a situation by
which the University's revenues
are determined percentage-wise
on the basis of taxation and not
by petty lobbying and plotting in
Lansing."
iseling Staff'
visers can be organized. Accord-
ing to Barry Levey, chairman of
the committee, the new service
will be offered within three weeks.
Assistant Dean James H. Rob-
ertson and Prof. Benjamin W.
Wheeler, chairman of the board
of concentration advisers assert-
ed that the committee of stu-
dent advisers will be a valuable
addition to the literary college
counseling system.
"One of the main advantages of
having student advisers," Dean
Robertson said,, "is that students
will be able to get inside infor-
mation about courses before they
make their election."
Prospective student advisers are
now being contacted by members
of the committee after being re-
commended by the counselors in
all the departments in the liter-
ary college. An instructional meet-
ing for student advisers has been
called for 4 p.m. March 19 in
1025 Angell Hall.
Until now a similar service has
been offered by another SL spon-
sored group called Student Ex-
perts.
Quenille Named
French Premier
PARIS-(/P)-Parliament ended
France's nine-day cabinet crisis
last night by confirming Henri
Queuille, 66-year-old retired coun-
try doctor, as Premier.
The vote was 359 to 250. Queu-
ille needed at least 311 to win.
Queuille is a member of the
Radical Socialist (Conservative)
party and served as Premier in
1948-49. He was supported last
night by members of his own par-
ty, which is a moderate, right-of-
center group despite its name; by
the Socialists; and by members of
the Catholic Popular Republican
Movement.
Bill Includes
UMT Plans
As Next Step
House Approval
Must Be Gained
WASHINGTON-AP)-The Sen-
ate, by a smashing 79 to 5 vote,
yesterday passed a bill providing
for draft of 18-year-olds now and
Universal Military Training later.
It goes to the House for action.
The overwhelming size of the
vote for these bitterly debated
defense proposals took even sup-
porters by surprise.
ON FINAL passage only five
Republican senators voted no-
Dirksen (Ill.), Jenner (nd.), Lan-
ger (N.D.), Schoeppel (Kan.) and
Welker (Idaho).
The day's big battle centered
on universal training, which
would take hold after the pres-
ent emergency and affect all
boys as they reach rT. Oppon-
ents declared it would head the
nation toward militarism. Sup-
porters pictured it as a neces-
sary method of building up and
maintaining a trained defense
reserve.
The 18-year-old draft issue had
been settled in an earlier heated
debate. The bill lowers the pres-
ent minimum of 19 years by a
whole year. Efforts failed to have
the billdstop at 18d.
IN THE HOUSE, the Armed
Services Committee has shown a
strong inclination to recommend
181, but it has delayed action on
its own legislation while the Sen-
ate debated.
The Senate bill, however, spe-
cifies that the draft of 18 year
olds cannot start until the draft
boards have gone completely
through the ranks of those eli-
gible among the 19-through-25
year olds. And' in drafting boys
of 18 they must start with the
ones d nearest 19
Hearings indicated that few if
any would be called at 18 during
the next year under existing plans.
ANOTHER MAJOR feature of
the bill extends draft service from
21 months to 24.
Universal training was retain-
ed in the bill by a 68 to 20
vote.
The test vote on UMT came
shortly after the Senate had re-
fused by a 68 to 21 vote to knock
out another principal feature of
the bill. This provides for defer-
ment of 225,000 youths fitted' to
become scientists, doctors and-
other specialists.
THE SENATE bill was drawn
up to replace the Selective Service
Act due to expire July 9.
The victory of UMT was chalk-
ed up despite the opposition of
Senator Taft of Ohio, among
others. Taft also fought to limit
the life of the whole bill to four
years.
However, this Taft amendment
lost 58 to 30. As written the law
would stand until repealed.

ANTI-BIAS TANGLE:
Discriminatory Clause
Confuses MSC Groups
By CHUCK ELLIOTT
The effectiveness of the recent-
ly approved Michigan State Col-
lege anti-fraternity discrimination
measure is considerably tangled
in the set up of student govern-
ment at State.
Passed in the Student Council
on Wednesday night, the proposal
is similar to action taken here
against fraternity discriminatory
clauses, except that the penalty is
not so definite.

AT MICHIGAN State, the stu-
dent government is more or less
in segments, the Student Council
forming one part, the Inter-Fra-
tirnity Connil another. Although

that the College also refuse recog-
nition.

ed out that student government

this spring, when a proposal to

body will be voted on. Conflicting
actions will be reviewed by the

tions.

INTELLECT AND VIRTUES:
