Student Dies,
Four Injured
In Accident
Eric Castelino, Grad.. business
administration student from Ban-
galore, India, was killed instantly
early yesterday in a car accident
which injured four other Univer-
sity students, one seriously.
The 20-year-old foreign student,
son of the retired magistrate of
Bangalore, died shortly after a
fraternity post-initiation drinking
party in a taVern near Portage
Lake. The mishap took place on
the Dexter-Pinckney Rd. as the
car, driven by Leland Stenton,
'51BAd, was returning to Ann Ar-
bor.
*k * *
THE AUTOMOBILE crashed in-
to a roadside tree on a sharp curve
in the three-lane highway often
referred to as "Death Valley." Cas-
telino met sudden death in the
back seat.
Stenton was released after
questioning yesterday by As-
sistant Prosecutor John Devine
and sheriff's deputies. He said
he had loft control of the car as
it rounded the curve. He also'
told officers he had drunk some
beer at the party but not enough
to affect his driving.
Stenton later admitted to Uni-
versity officials he did not have a
student driving permit. However,
no action was reported pending
against him.
ONLY SERIOUS INJURY in the
wreck was suffered by James Ver-
rette, '53BAd who was taken to
St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital with
face and neck cuts. Hospital offi-
cials reported last night Verrette's
condition was "fair."
Minor injuries were sustained
by Stenton, Charles Silk, 'BAd,
and James Monaghan, Grad. All
weretreated at the University
Health Service.
Castelino, a graduate of Madras
University in India, was initiated
into Alpha Kappa Psi, professional
business fraternity, Friday night
shortly before his death.

SYDNEY, Australia - Prime

general election yesterday, al-
though the Labor opposition
gained four seats in the House of
Representatives, with four other
seats still in doubt.
NEW YORK-United States
delegate Warren Austin yester-
day warned United Nations
members that the United States
expects all nations to send

WASHINGTON - The United
States yesterday formally pro-
posed arbitration of the long-
drawn deadlock with Russia over
a settlement f nthe $10.800.00,0_000
company, which has run the rich
oil industry in Iran for 50 years,
has been beset for a month by
nationalist agitation and strikes,
which it blamed on the Commun-
ists.
Less than six hours before the
Mailis voted, the company an-
nounced in London it had pro-
tested against the parliamentary
moves to take over British oil in-
terests. The company repeated
past offers to adjust in Iran's
favor the trends of its conces-
sion, dated to run until 1993.
British foreign-office leaders
were at their desks throughout the
day, studying first-hand reports
of the situation, and planned to
be on duty today. A foreign-office
spokesman said about 3,500 Brit-
ons work for the company in Iran.
The British plan to send war-
ships-now within 48 sailing hours
away from key Iranian ports-to
protect British lives and property
if their safety is threatened.
THE MAJLIS acted in secret
session in recommending that
Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi
name the anti-British Mossadegh
to the premiership vacated Friday
night by the pro-western Hussein
Ala under pressure of the oil crisis
and threats of widespread demon-
strations on May Day.,.
The Majlis then voted in open
session to give the oil nationali-
zation proposal a rating of "tri-
ple urgency." In a matter of
hours, it approved the seizure.
The Senate, which has indicated
before it fully shares the Mailis'
sentiments, is to act next.
Vogeler Free,

Used Coercion
VIENNA, Austria-(RP)-Robert
Vogeler, pale and shaken from 17
months in the hands of Hungary's
Communist police, got his bartered
release yesterday and stammered
mental and physical coercion at-
tended his confession to being an
American spy.
"I think there was some truth
in my testimony, which I read last
night for the first time," he told a
news conference. "But I think un-
der the law any testimony obtained
by mental or physical pressure is
not legal and is coerced."
The 39-year-old assistant vice
president of International Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
was brought this morning to the
Austrian border at Nickelsdorf,
where he was met by an American
legation car.
Shortly afterward, the Hungari-
an and United States governments
announced that the young busi-
nessman had been released on
these conditions:
1. The Hungarian consulates in
New York and Cleveland, O.,
closed following Vogeler's arrest
Nov. 18, 1949, will be allowed to re-
open.
2. The United States also will
rescind its ban on American travel-
ers to Hungary.
WASHINGTON - ?P) - Harold
Stassen proposed yesterday Presi-
dent Truman invite Gen. Douglas
MacArthur to the White House for
a "reconciliation" conference, but
Stassen got no immediate reply.
Stassen, University of Pennsyl-
vania president who ran for the
Republican nomina'tion for Presi-
dent in 1948, gave reporters copies
of a letter to President Truman
saying:
"For the good of America please
permit me to respectfully suggest a
reconciliation be brought about be-
tween you and Gen. MacArthur. If
the disagreement runs its bitter
course to the end, whatever the
outcome may be, it can do no good
for our country.
"I therefore ask you with humili-
ty that you consider extending an
invitation to Gen. MacArthur to
meet and confer with you."
STASSEN delivered the letter
personally to President Truman's
aides at the White House. He also
sent a telegram to MacArthur, who
yesterday was receiving another
triumphal greeting in New York,

"I feel very deeply that for

ation should be brought about
between you and the President."
The White House had nothing
to say beyond acknowledging the
letter was delivered. President Tru-
man has said previously if the
general asked for an appointment
he would get one.
At Milwaukee Friday Mac-
Arthur was said to take the stand
he would regard an invitation to
see President Truman as an order.
However, a spokesman has said the
general has no plans to see the
President.

ernment yesterday announced a

calling for almost a dime-a-pound
rollback at the butcher shop by

The program provides for pro-
gressively reduced ceilings for live

But the announcement said they
will be slashed from four to five
cents a pound Aug. 1. and again

The new ceilings, OPS said, will
put beef prices by fall back to
