MacArthur
Advised by
Washington
General Told to
Clear Statements
WASHINGTON - (A') - In-
formed officials said last nigh
t h at t h e Administration haq
asked Gen. Douglas MacArthur t
inform Washington in the future
of any statements he intends tc
make having political importance
I. There is general agreement
among State Department, Defense
Department and White House
_ authorities, it was said, that the
measure was necessary.
* * *
IT IS INTENDED to try to pre-
vent a recurrence of the situation
which developed when MacArthur
made a public declaration before
visiting the Korean front last Sat.
urday.
At that time, without inform-
ing Washington, the United Na-
tions Commander offered to
meet the Communist Command-
er-In-Chief in the field for
truce talks.
MacArthur at the same time
raised, at least by implication, the
possibility that the UN might
change' its policy and authorize
attacks on Chinese Military bases
and on China's coastal areas.
* * *
STATE DEPARTMENT officials
subsequently disclosed that what
I MacArthur said had not been dis-
patched to Washington before-
hand.
There was a round of top-level
conferences on Saturday involv-
ing state and defense officials
and authorities at the White
House, Including Secretary Ach-
eson and President Truman.
The message which was report-
ed last night to have been sent
to MacArthur was descrikd as a
request to him to inform Wash-
ington -before making any such
declaration in the future.
Officials here said that he was
already under instructions, re-
affirmed in a general directive
circulated by President Truman
last December, to clear political
statements in Washington.
The latest word to MacArthur
served in effect as a reminder of
this standing instruction.
McGee Appeal
'Denied Again
The Supreme Court yesterday
denied a hearing to Willie McGee,
Mississippian sentenced to the
electric chair for the assault of a
white woman, the Associated Press
reported.
This marks the fourth times that
the high court has refused to con-
sider the case. McGee has been
convicted three times in Missis-
sippi courts.
The Court rendered its decision
in the face of a nation-wide cam-
paign to have McGee released
from the death sentence. A com-
mittee to save McGee had, been
formed on this campus and was
active in soliciting students to re-
quest federal officials to act in
behalf of McGee.
The committee also sponsored a
talk by Mrs. Willie McGee at Lane
Hall several weeks ago.

Precarious
'NiehussSays.
Small colleges are going to have
a difficult time making ends meet,
but the University is also in a pre-
carious financial position, Marvin
L. Niehuss, vice-president of the
University said yesterday.
Niehuss greeted sympathetically
news that five church-related
Michigan colleges have banded to-
gether in a drive to seek $500,000
to bridge deficits of this and the
next school year.

"I CAN SEE the necessity for
such a campaign," Niehuss said,
"especially in these critical times
when the outlook for smaller col-
leges is bleak."
On the other hand, he contin-
ued, the University itself-which
faces essentially the same prob-I
lems-won't be able to solve itsI
financial troubles without heavy
legislative support.
"We also have to take into ac-
count the trend toward higher
pricesand higher wages," he ex-
plained.

Among the primary factors
causing the colleges' financial

of the great number of students
who formerly attended school un-

has resulted in fewer youths of

Testimony
Given Before
Senate Group
O'Dwyer Called
To Grand Jury
WASHINGTON-(P)-A nation-
ally known Brooklyn judge testi-
fied yesterday that gamblers paid
up to $25,000,000 a year in protec-
tion money to crooked members of
the New York City Police Force.
Samuel Leibowitz, one of the na-
tion's leading criminal lawyers un-
til he ascended the Kings County
(Brooklyn) bench, made the esti-
mate in testimony before the Sen-
ate Crime Investigating Commit-
tee.
IN THE widespread uproar
touched off by the Committee's
disclosures in televised hearings
watched by millions, there were
these other developments:
William O'Dwyer, Ambassador
to Mexico and former Mayor of
New York,awas called before a
Brooklyn grand jury for ques-
tioning of an undisclosed nature.
The jury was ready to inquire
into the mysterious death in 1941
of a hoodlum named Abe Reles,
informer on the notorious Mur-
der, Inc., killer gang. This took
place while O'Dwyer was New
York's prosecuting attorney.
James J. Moran, longtime friend
of O'Dwyer and resigned New York
City Water Commissioner,' was
charged with perjury by another
New York grand jury based on his
testimony two weeks ago before the
Senate Crime Committee.
FBI DIRECTOR J. Edgar Hoo-
ver told the Senate crime. probers
that organized gambling could be
wiped out anywhere in the U.S.
within 48 hours if state and local
laws were strictly enforced.
Attorney General McGrath, also
appearing before the Senate group,
said racketeer Frank Costello can't
be deported or deprived of his citi-
zenship because he wasn't con-
victed of two serious crimes within
five years of coming to this coun-
try from Italy. However, Chairman
Kefauver called for a quick report
on Costello from the Immigration
and Naturalization Service in view
of his testimony before the com-
mittee.
Also last night ex-boot-
legger Abner (Longie) Zwillman
risked contempt proceedings by
refusing to tell the crime probers
details of his rum-running activi-
ties during prohibition or his many
money-making activities since.

Show QueensOffer
-By JANET WATTS
Two Chicago burlesque queens
today are waiting for an invitation
to visit Ann Arbor to prove that
the bump, grind and strip routine
is a legitimate art.
The invitation probably will
never come.
DARDY ORLANDO and Ann Ar-
bor, featured strippers at the Rial-
to theatre, have offered to show
their wares here as testimony in a
Law School Practice Court case.
But the law students pleading the
case are not interested.
Last fall they might have been.
When Paul Steere, '51L, and
Chester Byrns, '51L, needed evi-
dence for their breach of contract
suit, they wrote to the Rialto for

Russel Lecture
The 25th annual Henry Russel
lecture will be delivered on May 1
by Prof. A. Franklin Shull of the
zoology department.
The honor of giving a Russel
lecture is awarded each year to a
faculty member who has achieved
the highest distinction in his field
of scholarship. Prof. Shull's lecture
will deal with "Some Problems in
Biology."
A noted expert on genetics and
evolution, Prof. Shull has been
president of the American Society
of Naturalists and is author of
three textbooks used by the zoology
department.
This year's recipient of the
Henry Russel award will be an-
nounced at the lecture.
pictures of a dancer in "an as un-
clothed a condition as she might
appear on stage" and a copy of a
typical contract between a man-
ager and a dancer.
* * *
THE PRACTICE CASE involves
a Boston theatre manager who
sued a mythical strip teaseartist,
Fifi Contour, for failing to meet
the demands of a contract. "She
didn't expose enough hide," Steere
and Byrns explain.
Counsel for Miss Contour's de-
fense, Hilton McLain, '51L, and
Camille Hutson, '51L, claim that
not only did Miss Contour meet
the contract but if she had car-
ried out the manager's demands,
she would have broken a Boston
blue law on moral conduct.
By displaying photos of living
burlesque queens, Steere and Byrns
hoped to prove that Fifi could not
have broken any morals law. "We
were seriously interested in pro-
ducing real evidence for the trial,"
Byrns said.

BUT THE Chicago theatre man-
ager didn't see it that way. Ap-
parently thinking the whole case
was one big joke, he never sent
the pictures nor answered Byrns'
letter.
Kluth Pleads Guilty

Paul Kluth, Grad., pleaded guilty

College, Democratic candidate for

losing its self respect, Prof.
Waugh added. "No other profes-

"But there are still places in this

hired at low wages, while teachers
with standard qualifications are
unemployed."
