PORTSMOUTH, ENG.-(A)-The British submarine Affray, miss-
ing since Monday night in the English Channel, was found at the bot-
tom of the sea yesterday and the admiralty said at least some of its
75 men were alive.
Supersonic telegraphic messages intercepted by several submarines
among the fleet of 25 vessels participating, in the search led to the
discovery of the submarine early this morning.
THE ADMIRALTY said the A

WASHINGTON - (R) -- Econo-
mic Stabilizer Eric Johnston said'
last night that a proposed dis-
pute-settling wage stabilization
board cannot be established le-
gally over industry's objections,
By vote of 12 to 4, the Advisory
Board recommended that Presi-
dent Truman immediately set up
an 18-man board to dispose of
the scores of wage disputes which
hav been piling up since the first
board was scuttled Feb. 16,
The four industry representa-
tives objected.
THE MAJORITY recommended
thatthe Board have broad power
to settle labor disputes recom-
mended to it by the President. In-
dustry has been holding out for a
board with less powers, and last
night the National Association of
Manufacturers and U.S. Chamber
of Commerce sharply criticized the
advisory Board's majority recom-
mendation.

It was the same spot at which
the big submarine, built for ser-
vice in the Pacific, went down
Monday at the start of what was
to have been a training cruise.
Rescue crews ordered to con-
verge on the area said the site was
shallow enough to permit divers
to descend to the sunken sub.
THE RESCUE crews said the
use of supersonic telegraphy in-
dicated the Affray's control room
was not flooded.
Ships and planes of four na-
tions took part in the search for
the Affray after the admiralty
announced yesterday that the
sub had failed to report its
whereabouts.
American, French and Belgian
naval vessels joined with British
ships crisscrossing the English
Channel throughout last night.
The Affray, a submarine of
1,200 tons, normally would carry
a crew of 60, but its crew was
augmented for the training cruise
by sailors and marines from a
submarine training school.
The British submarine Sea Devil
reported the first word from the
Affray early in the morning. But
the Sea Devil said the supersonic
telegraph messages were too faint
to be understood. Other submar-
ines in the area then reported
they, too, had intercepted the
message.
The Affray was en route from
Portsmouth to Falmouth, 180
miles . to the southwest, and had
been ordered to travel underwater
all the way except between 8 and
9 a.m. each day, when she was to
send a radio message.
Welke Given
Jail Sentence
DETROIT-Former University
student William F. Welke was sen-
tenced to five to 15 years yester-
day for extorting $3,500 from the
mother of a fellow student.
A Detroit jury convicted Welke
of threatening Mrs. Katherinel
Vasu, wife of a prominent phy-
sician, in telephone conversations
on May 31, 1949.
The jury found that he had told'
her that her son, Cordell Vasu,
'52, would "never see her again"
unless she paid the money.
Mrs. Vasu testified thatshe met
Welke in Detroit and gave him
$3,500.
Recorder's Judge John Maher
granted a motion by Welke's at-
torney for a 20-day stay pending
a retrial hearing. He placed Welke
under $5,000 bond during the 20-
day period.'

'Nation Must Aim
For World Peace'
CHICAGO-(P)-General Omar
N. Bradley spoke out yesterday
against General MacArthur's sug-
gestions that the Korean war be
extended to China.
Bradley' was the first of Mac-
Arthur's fellow five-star military
men to raise his voice publicly
against the proposals since Mac-
Arthur was ousted from his far
east posts last week by President
Truman.
GEN. BRADLEY, Chairman of*
the joint Chiefs of Staff, did not
mention MacArthur's name. But
he said, "There is little immediate
danger of this country being over-
run-but our way of life, our free-
dom and our nation have the best
chances for survival by keeping
peace in the world.
"This is the over-riding con-
sideration of our national for-
eign and military policies. Any
recommended course of action
which would enlarge the present
war is contrary to our best in-
terests, and by jeopardizing
world peace, ultimately would
threaten our security."
Bradley spoke at the conven-
tion of the National Association of
Radio and Television Broadcasters.
The section of his address opposing
expansion of the Korean fighting
was in direct conflict with Mac-
Arthur'sdviewsconfthat subject.
MacARTHUR'S POLICIES had
been set forth in a series of state-
ments and in a letter to Rep. Mar-
tin (R-Mass.), House Republican
leader. MacArthur had recom-
mended that the solution to the
Korean situation is to use Chinese
Nationalist forces on Formosa to
carry the war to the Chinese main-
land and to bomb Manchurian
bases.
Gen. Bradley supported Presi-
dent Truman's stand against
MacArthur's ideas and defended
the Administration's policy of
limiting the war in Korea.
"There is no early end in sight
to the Korean war under present
conditions," Bradley said. "As far
as we can see now there is nothing
transitory about the Communists'
determination to drive us out of
Korea and, if possible, to destroy
our forces completely. We may
strive for peace and a cessation of
hostilities, but while so doing we
must continue to fight."
Student Draft
Law Backed
DETROIT-(P)-David D. Henry,
president of Wayne University,
defended deferment of college stu-
dents last night but said the pro-
gram had two serious weaknesses.
President Henry, in an address
prepared for delivery before the
American Association for Health,
Physical Education and Recrea-
tion, said that under the program
"college students are not avoiding
military service, but preparing for
it"
The president said that the de-
ferment order should be amended
to provide for (1) federal scholar-
ships and (2) a plan for the uti-
lization of people of special ability
after college training.

Asian-Arabs To

UNITED NATIONS, NY.-(P)-
The Asian-Arab group in the
United Nations will meet today
to consider a North Korean peace
feeler and "otherhdevelopments"
in the Korean situation.
Plans for the meeting were dis-
closed last night by India's Sir
Benegal N. Rau as some Eastern
European quarters described the
message from the North Koreans
as a serious bid for peace talks.
At the same time unconfirmed
reports circulated in diplomatic
circles that Rau had received a
new communication from the
Chinese Communists. Rau denied
this.
Soviet Delegate Semyon K.
Tsarapkin said he knew nothing
of the North Korean peace feeler.
And Western spokesmen reported
it looked like just another Com-
munist propaganda stunt.
The North Koreans sent their
long message Monday to the Presi-
dent of the Assembly and the
President of the Security Council.

Law School
Receives Gift
The University Law School will
receive a $1,300,000 scholarship
aid fund from a late Cleveland
lawyer and University alumnus,
State Representative Arnell D.
Engstrom announced yesterday in
Lansing.
The gift, nearly double the
amount thought to have been be-
queathed last December, will come
from the estate of Freder.ck L.
Leckie, a 1904 graduate of the
Law School. The fund was origin-
ally set at $700,000, until an in-
ventory was taken of the complete
estate.
Leckie, who died Nov. 29, pro-
vided that the money be used "for
the education of needy students as
may be selected by the dean, of the
Law School."
Rep. Engstrom disclosed the
grant in connection with the pas-
sage of a tax reciprocity bill by the
House.
The bill if it becomes law, would
establish a reciprocity agreement
among Michigan, Ohio and Illinois,
retroactive to May 1, 1950, and
would also provide that those
states would be exempt from Mich-
igan taxation if a Michigan resi-
dent should bequeath funds at his
death to educational or charitable
institutions there.
