LXI, No. 87 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 14, 1951 EIGHT PAGES Government To Unfreeze WagePolicy Congress Told of Planned Changes WASHINGTON-()-The Wage Stabilization Board hopes to come up with a formula this week to unfreeze pay. And the pressure is on at the Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) for quick determination of a ceil- ing price for raw cotton. THOSE TWO SUBJECTS, both major trouble makers, held center stage yesterday in work of the agencies assigned to keep the economy on an even keel in the period of mobilization. The hopes of the Wage Board (WSB) were reported by Peter Seitz, special assistant to WSB chairman Cyrus S. Ching, in testhnony to the Senate-House "watchdog" committee which keeps tab on operation of the Defense Production Act. The hearing also produced a re- port, quickly thrown down by Ching, that he was stepping out of the WSB post yesterday. MEANWHILE President William Green of the American Federation of Labor complained last night that the nation's workers are un- fairly burdened in the fight against inflation. With his letter, the labor lead- er submitted a memorandum on the views of the federation re- garding national economic poli- cies. He called for "a new and workable price control law which will permit effective stabiliza- tion of the cost of living." On the price front, OPS direc- tor Michael V. Disalle was under- stood to have ordered a fast deci- sion on a raw cotton price aimed both to appease southern senators who have demanded full decon- trol, and to head off sharp rise in clothing costs. Housing Code Polii ng Not '' Job - Rea Full responsibility for "polic- ing" fraternity and sorority props erty maintenance cannot be placed on the shoulders of the University, Dean Walter Rea, chairman of the University hous- Ing committee, said yesterday. D e a n Rea was answering charges made by Paul R. Kempf, ' president of the city Board of Public Works that certain groups have abused state and local build- ing codes by inadequate fire pre- vention devices, overcrowding andi poor maintenance. * * * IN PART Dean Rea agreed with TKempf. He admitted that many groups have been lax in keeping their properties at their best ap- * pearance. But he noted that an inspec- tion is made each semester by the University to see that prop- er precautions are taken against fire and unsanitary conditions. Setomer McGuire Get 10 Days, Fine Ex-Student Bookies To Pay $250; Placed on Two Years Probation. By DAVIS CRIPPEN Two former University students, Lee 'Setomer and Robert Mc- Guire yesterday were finled $250 a piece and sentenced to ten days' in the Washtenaw County Jail for operating a football pool on campus last fall. Each of the men faced a maximum penalty of one year in jail or a $500 fine. * * * * THE TWO BEGAN their sentence, levied by Circuit Court Judge ,James R. Breakey, immediately after it was imposed. The arrest and conviction of Setomer and McGuire were the result of a series of Daily articles on the operations of student run MSC To Go On All Year War Basis EAST LANSING - IP).- Presi- dent John A. Hannah announced yesterday that Michigan State College will go on a year-around war-time basis.' Hannah said the stepped-up' educational program was asked' by defense officials anxious to have college graduates available' for military service or defense jobs a year sooner than under thej present setup. * * * UNDER THE new plan, high school graduates will be able to qualify for bachelor's degrees in three years instead of four as at present. Greatest immediate impact of the new program, Hannah said, will be the enrollment of a large number of high school graduates for the summer quar- ter. The MSC president said studies are underway to determine what courses will be offered, how many faculty members will be needed and what provisions must be made to accomodate the students on the campus. He said the college had ap- proved the plan despite the many difficulties involved in operating 12 months a year. "Defense officials have recog- nized the importance of American colleges and universities in the race to rearm," he said. "They must use their facilities to the limit in serving the national in- terest." football pools which were pub- lished in the paper last fall.' The articles charged that un- noticed by University or city of- ficials student run football pools had taken firm root on campus. After some two weeks of investi- gation following the articles' pub- lication Setomer and McGuire were arrested and it was an- nounced by Assistant County Prosecutor Edmund DeVine that the two had confessed to being at the top of the campus bookie sys- tem. . s s s AT THE TIME Setomer was a graduate student in the University and McGuire a sophomore in the College of Architecture and De- sign. The two withdrew from school recently after completing the fall semester. When arraigned last November the two pleaded nolo contendere. Yesterday's sentence was imposedj after two previous postponements.l $200 of each of the men's fine will be used to pay court costs. The remaining $50 constitutes the official fine. Besides the sen- tence and the fine, Setomer and McGuire were placed on two years' probation. The two men were visibly af- fected when the sentence was an- nounced. A source close to them said that they had not thought the sentence would be as severe as it was. As far as the University is con-f cerned, Associate Dean of Students Walter B. Rea explained last night that the case was pretty well closed. He explained that there might be a consideration of the case by the Discipline Committee or Men's Judiciary, but only to give the University some official record of the affair. No University action was taken earlier, Dean Rea said, awaiting the outcome of the case in Circuit Court. West To Ask For German Unification Aim To Scuttle Communist Line FRANKFORT, Germany, (R)- The Western Powers intend to confront the Russians with a de- mand for - Germany's unification on terms that would scuttle Com- munism in the whole' country, high allied sources said last night. There is skepticism about the possibility the Russians will ac- cept. But Allied thinking appears to be the Western conditions will unmask the propaganda of any fresh Soviet proposals ostensibly aimed at reunion of Germany and betterment of her condition. * * * THE UNITED STATES, British and French governments were re- ported agreed a reunited Ger- many must not become a Red-in- filtrated "people's democracy" on the Soviet satellite model. Consultations are under way to define exactly and provide fool- proof safeguards for the Western democratic liberties which the three allies would require to be in- troduced in East Germany in ad- vance of unifying the former Reich, officials said. A French government official reported yesterday Deputy For- eign Ministers of the Big Four will meet in Paris between March 10 and 15 to arrange the terms, place and date for the meeting of their chiefs. IFC Sets Up RushingAides A new system of rushing coun- seling has been set up, the Inter- Fraternity Council announced yesterday. Ten affiliates who are not par- ticipating in their individual house rushing, will act as rushing counselors to answer questions and give impartial advice to be- wildered rushees. The counselors will be avail- able from 3 to 5:30 p.m. today through Friday in Rm. 3D of the Union. A change has been made in scholastic requirements, also. " No student whose overall scholastic average is below 2.0 will be per- mitted to rush this semester. This will enable fraternities to initiate their spring pledge classes before the end of the semester. Reds ye S. Hit wont Cross' Senate Body WTill Reopen RFCProbe WASHINGTON, (P)-Chairman Maybank (D-SC) of the Senate Banking Committee said yester- day an investigation of the Re- construction Finance Corporation, now under hot fire in Congress, will be re-opened next week. The announcement came just 24 hours after President Truman renominated five RFC directors whom the Senate had already twice refused to confirm. Maybank said a subcommittee headed by Senator Fulbright (D-Ark) will conduct hearings centering on charges that three of the five directors yielded to outside influence in granting fed- eral loans. Fulbright's subcommittee, with the backing of the full committee, issued a report two weeks ago accusing the RFC of falling under the domination of Donald Daw- son; a White House aide, and others. The report, which President Truman denounced as assinine, specifically named directors C. Edward Rowe, William E. Willett and Walter Lee Dunham as hav- ing "seriously abused" their auth- ority in making certain loans. It also named E. Merl Young, an insurance broker, whose wife is a White House stenographer, as having exerted influence over the RFC officials.

Valentine Sellers Smile As Mailmen Complain * * Central Front; 38th Allied Force Surrounded East of Seoul Taniks Menace Road toCapital TOKYO--()--Red hordes yes. terday pounded in human waves against the United Nations' front . in the snow-mantled mountains of Central Korea-striving for a breakthrough. They poured banzai attacks at an Allied force surrounded in Chipyong, 35 miles east of Seoul. MEANWHILE General MacAr- thur said in effect that military and not political factors will keep his United Nations troops south of the 38th parallel for the pres- ent. He said "scattered patrol ac- tion incidental to the tactical situation" might pierce the boundary. He emphasized, however, that the Allies must cut down Chines: numerical superiority consider- ably before the UN troops can thrust across the old border in force. MANY TANKS and self-pro- pelled guns menaced Wonu, the key to all highways in South Korea - including those behind 100,000 Allied troops around Seoul. They swarmed over hills in the 20 miles between Chipyong and Wonju, rolling drums and blowing bugles as they attacked.. They infiltrated 800 North' Koreans out of Seoul across the Han in the western sector and caused surprised staff officer clerks and even cooks to grab rifles. The Reds began, hitting the surrounded Allied force at Chip- yong from three sides, starting at 10:45 last night. At 12:31 p.m. AP correspondent William J. Waugh reported from the central front that the Allied Chipyong defenders radioed they were battling an "all-out attack." The Allied force said it was hold- ing off the Red hordes. * *: * SWARMS OF Allied planes were out over the area despite clouds and snow flurries. They were making the biggest air effort of the war to blunt the red assault, Tuesday the Far East Air Force mounted 935 sorties near the record for the Korean war. Red strategy was to cut off UN forces massed against the bridge- less Han River just across from Seoul. The Allies held Seoul's By ZANDER HOLLANDER I Greeting card dealers chortled yesterday, but postmen groaned as both contemplated one of biggest St. Valentine's Day rushes in re- cent years. A "lover's holiday" coming only two days after the return to school plus what one dealer described as "troubled times which make people conscious of their loved ones," combined to make this a concen- trated as well as a big Valentine's season for both stationers and mailmen. National Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Chief of the Air Force, claims Russia could push at least 70 out of 100 bombers through to United States targets in a determined attack. * * * WASHINGTON - Civil De- fense chief Millard F. Caldwell said yesterday thesCivil Defense setup will be in shape by the end of the year so that "we can take it" in the event of a bomb- ing attack. WASHINGTON - The United States yesterday granted $12,200,- 000 in loans to Spain. HOWEVER, card sales, which ran from "substantially increased" to "more than tripled" in most' establishments, posed a somewhat paradoxical question. Who was getting all the extra Valentines? Most coeds, like Nancy Groes- beck, '53, claimed that they were receiving fewer cards than ever. Attributing the decline to "de- creasing money and decreasing chivalry" among campus males, the pretty coed said her whole house had been hit by the drop. Miss Groesbeck admitted under pressure that she, too, had sent no Valentine greetings this season. However, Sally Frost, '51, grudg- ingly admitted that she had sent at least one card: "I sent a nasty valentine to a boy who I haven't talked to in weeks." REELING from these two blows, the valentine custom found a de- fender in Tink Guthe, '52, who maintained that Valentine cards were wonderful. "Nobody makes people send them-that's why it's so nice when they do," she asserted. But Miss Guthe hadn't sent any either.
