such onslaughts by rolling with

ALLIED ARTILLERY was so
heavily concentrated that Reds

"That's fie power for you-

Russians Mass
In Manchuria
By The Associated Press
Informed sources at General
MacArthur's headquarters denied
yesterday that Russia's 500,000-
man Far Eastern Army was build-
ing up its forces within Man-
churia.
This observation was made in
comment on House Speaker Sam
Rayburn's statement in Congress
earlier yesterday that Red troops,
who-he said-are "not all of
them Chinese Communists by a
great extent," were increasing
their strength in Manchuria.
RAYBURN had warned that
the Nation stands in the 'face of'
a terrible danger "that may be
the beginning Of World War III."
Asked off the floor if he meant
the Russians, the Speaker re-
plied 4"I'm standing now on
what I have said."
The Russians are believed to
naintain some garrisons in the
nominally Chinese territory of
Manchuria. They are known to

Board Votes Against Referendum
On Issue in All-Campus Elections
By BOB KEITH
Union tradition crumbled a bit around the edges last night
when the Board of Directors made permanent the policy of letting
coeds use the cafeteria and bowling alleys when escorted by a
Union member.
Put into -effect several months ago on a trial basis, the coed
policy was last night written into law so that escorted women
may have ftill use of cafeteria facilities from 2:30 to 5 p.m. every
day of the week and from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights.
At the same time the board opened up four bowling alleys to

Explaining that according to the

Executive Council, one vice-presi-
dent is to be elected from each

committee chairman Merlin Town-

THE COMMITTEE refused to
reveal the number of petitions
turned down although Townley
said that these were "fewer than

Townley emphasized that the
committee was not "omnipo-

tition of 200 names of students

"However, as far as I know, no-

The purpose of the organizationi
was stated to be "to help create a

important of all, to organize in
such a manner that the policy-
makers of America will be in-

BUT THE board turned thumbs
down on a proposal to submit
Union coed policies to a referen-
dum in the coming all-campus
elections. The referendum, sug-
gested by John Duffey, '51L, would
have given students an opportun-
ity to vote on two questions:
1. Should escorted coeds be
allowed to use the cafeterias at
any time of the day?
2. Should they be allowed to
enter through the front door?
Although Duffey had previously
hoped to see his questions referred
to the student body, he said last
night that he was "fully satisfied"
with the board's decision.
* * *
APPARENTLY the board's cafe-
teria decision, which excludes wo-
men on'week nights, is slated to
continue indefinitely. The front
door policy, however, is destined
for further study.
The board said it decided not
to submit the issues to referen-
dum because 1) the organiza-
tion's constitution provides oth-
er machinery for a membership
vote, and 2) a referendum
would "in no way indicate the
feelings of Union members since
most membership lies in the
ranks of University member-
ship."
While approving joint use of
the cafeteria and bowling alleys,
the board decided not to let coeds
in the billiard room because this
was considered a largely male ac-
tivity. Coeds were also excluded
from the adjoining ping pong ta-
bles.

Two Labor
Disputes Hit
SouthQuad
By ROBERT VAUGHN
Two labor disputes may delay
further the opening of the South
Quad, the University Business Of-
fice revealed yesterday. \
The disputes center around the
installation of 1,150 wardrobe un-
its in the Quad rooms and the con-
struction of tile ceilings in various
parts of the building.
* * 4
THE WARDROBE units are
ready for shipment from Carrom
Industries, Inc., of Ludington,
Mich., but the workmen at the
South Quad refuse to handle them,
and are holding up construction it
was reported yesterday.
The workers, members of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners (AFL), contend that in-
stallation of the units would be
a violation of their union con-
stitution which states:
"No member of the Brotherhood
working in our jurisdiction will
handle, install, use or erect any
materials of wood, fibre or plastic
producted or manufactured, which
are not made by members of our
brotherhood."
* * *
THE WARDROBE units were
made by Carrom employes who re-
cently voted to leave the Brother-
hood and join the UAW-AFL at an
election authorized and conducted
by the National Labor Relations
Board.
Technically, however, the con-
tract between the Carrom work-
ers and the Brotherhood does not
expire until tomorrow.'
Company representatives and
International officers of the
Brotherhood are now negotiating
in Indianapolis, Ind.
* * *
THE COMPANY reportedly feels
the constitutional rule should be
declared invalid in this case be-
cause its employes were members
of the Brotherhood when the ward-
robes were made.
The other dispute which threat-
ens to delay the opening centers
around the question of who is to
install the accoustical tile in the
building's corridors - the plasters
or the carpenters.
This problem is awaiting the de-
cision of the Building Trades
Council in Washington, according
to Fred Anderson of Ann Arbor
Carpenter's Local 512.

that freshmen in the upper half,
sophomores in the upper two-

three-fourths of their classes will

either rank in the top half of their
class or score 75 on the test.
Selective Service ' emphasized
that students are not required to
meet both qualifications. They get
a deferment either by ranking in
the top percentage of the class or
by getting a high enough test
score.
The test, designed to measure
ability to learn and not knowledge,
will be given only to those already
in college on May 26, June 16 and
June 30.
Selective Service said a score of
70 on the aptitude test is equiva-
lent to 120 on the Army General
Classification Test (AGCT). A
score of 75 is equivalent to 130 on
the AGCT.
College classes ranking will be
made only on the basis of the
male students. Selective Service
said beyond that each college will
determine whether a whole male
class will be taken into considera-
tion or whether each field of study
will be ranked separately.
Draft Policy
Hit by Board,
State Senator
By The Associated Press
As a Michigan county draft
board attacked the government's
new draft policy regarding stu-
dents, a resolution was introduced
in the State Legislature, condemn-
ing President Truman's action.
In East Lansing yesterday, a
resolution called the President's
order, "class legislation and class
treatment of able-bodied citizens
who should be called upon impar-
tially to defend the principles of
democracy."
The resolution, submited by Sen-
ator Frank Andrews, was sent to
committee in the Senate for study.
At the same time, Kent county's
draft board No. 43 said it would
not consider the deferment of col-
lege students after passing an ap-
titude test, until it had received a
"clarification."
At issue, apparently, was the
draft's application to college stu-
dents as compared to farm workers
and others.
The Kent board issued a sharply
worded statement saying, "Brand-
ing those economically unable to
afford college as the only ones
eligible for the defense of our
country was construed (by the
board) as an insult to those whom
they are inducting into the serv-
ice."
"IKE" SIGNS-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower sigans SHAPE General
Order No. 1 in his Paris headquarters on April 2, making Supreme
Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe operational. As he signed he
said that any delay in congressional action on defense measures
"would delay the whole operation of defense in Western Europe."
Yesterday the Senate backed Eisenhower up by voting to send
100,000 American soldiers to Western Europe's defense.

For Deluge
Of Women
The three to one ratio on cam-
pus is scheduled to reverse itself
considerably next week-but only
those men remaining in Ann Ar-
bor during vacation will be able
to take advantage of it.
Approximately 400 women, rep-
resenting colleges in 40 states, are
expected to arrive in Ann Arbor
Tuesday to attend the bienniel
convention of the Athletic Fed-
eration of College Women. They
will remain here until April 13,
when the convention ends.

AN EXTENSIVE program has
been planned for these women,
but the highlight, at least as far
as the men are concerned, will
be the co-recreation night sched-
uled for Wednesday at the I-M
Building.
All men remaining on campus
are invited, Barbara Molyneaux,
of the WAA declared. A rota-
tion of sports, including volley-
ball, s w i m m i n g, handball,
squash, badminton, paddleball
and square dancing will be fea-
tured.
Reactions to this unexpected
abundance of femininity during
vacation ar.e varied. Those going
home felt that the Federation had
chosen a very inopportune time
to hold a convention.

greatest possible speed to secure
NAACP and University recogni-
tion because of possible compe-
tition from "an extreme leftist
bunch" who Young Republican
president Dave Cargo, '51, said
were attempting to set up a simi-
lar organization which "they
could run."
SPEEING*
SPEEDING UP the organizing
process, the group constituted it-
self the nucleus of a membership
committee, elected Edward Daw-
ley temporary president and voted
to submit a request for recogni-
tion to the Office of Student Af-
fairs by Friday.
Meanwhile Al Blumrosen, '53L,
asserted that he would, contact
NAACP offices in New York this
weekend about the possibility of
a rival group and would try to
expedite the granting of a char-
ter to their own organization.
"I'm just going . . . to tell the
NAACP to be on the lookout for
a n y t h i n g phoney," Blumrosen
said.

BLUMROSEN SAID he would
also request the speaking services
of Walter White, NAACP presi-
dent, or Walter Reuther, board
member, to launch the local chap-
ter's membership campaign.
Explaining the objectives of the
new alphabet group, Dawley de-
clared that it would "try to pro-
mote better understanding be-
tween races and investigate any
possibilities of discrimination at
the University."

On Any Increase
WA "INGTON-(A-he Sen
W S I G O - ) - h e'ate gave full endorsement last
night to sending 100,000 American
soldiers-four combat divisions and
their supporting troops-to the de-
fense of Western Europe.
But it called on President Tru-
man to obtain the approval of
Congress before ordering any more
ground troops into the interna-
tional army commanded by Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
THESE ARE the cornerstones of
the Senate's historic troops-for-
Europe resolution, adopted by a
vote of 69 to 21.
Action came on the second an-
niversary of the signing of the
North Atlantic Treaty in Wash-
ington April 4, 1949.
It climaxed nearly three months
of bitter debate about what con-
tribution the United States should
make in fighting men to help
guard Western Europe against the
possibility of Russian aggression.
IN ITS FINAL STAGES, the de-
bate became a fierce contest be-
tween those who want Congres-
sional checks on the President and
those who believe Truman should
have a free hand as Commander i
Chief of the armed forces.
The resolution expresses only
the sense of the Senate. It is not
legally binding upon the Presi-
dent, who claims full authority
to deploy troops around the
world but who has said he will
consult Congress as a matter of
courtesy.
Yet the opinion of the Senate
will carry great weight at home
and abroad.
* * a
MOREOVER, THE Senate im-
mediately proceeded to consider a
concurrent, or two-house, resolu-
tion along the same lines. This, un-
like the resolution adopted earlier,
would give the House of Represen-
tatives a chance to go on record on
the questions. Some legislators
have demanded that such an op-
portunity be given to the House.
Senator Taft of Ohio, the Re-
publican policy leader in the
Senate, hailed the Senate resolu-
tion as stating "we have the
constitutional power" to restrain
the President.
"No President of the United
States will dare to defy the Con-
gress," he said in the closing mini-
utes of the debate.
Senator Connally of Texas, who
was the Democratic floor manager
for the resolution, saw in its pas-
sage assurance that "there will be
no world war this year."
"The Russians will not defy the
free nations of the world," he de-
clared.
Forty-two Democrats and 27 Re-
publicans voted for the Sen-
ate measure. Nineteen Republicans
and two Democrats-Ellender of
Louisiana and Fulbright of Arkan-
sas-voted against it.
It required three days of argu-
ment and roll calls to reach the
vote taken tonight.
'Queens' Issued
Still tUndecided
Consideration of a motion to
place the "campus queens" ques-
tion on the ballot in the spring
election was dramatically cut
short by the automatic adjourn-
ment deadline last night in the
Student Legislature.
Proposed by Bill McIntyre, '52,
the motion advocated placing the
question "Do! you approve of the
University ruling prohibiting the
selection of campus queens for
special occasions by campus
groups?" to a separate vote by men
and women in the upcoming elec-
tion.
