Highest Court
Hits Branding
Untried Reds
By The Associated Press
The Supreme Court lashed ou
at the government yesterday fo
branding organizations asdCom
munist without a hearing.
It threw a legal cloud over th
"government's listing of 159 or
ganizations as subversive, until th
charges can be proved.
By a five-three vote, the justice
ruled that the organizations liste
as subversive by the Attorney Gen.
eral must be given the right to a
hearing.
Four of these stingingly accused
the government of violating bas
rights in denying such a hearing
The executive order which wa
established- by Pres. Truman i
1947 directed the attorney genera
to list organizations which he find
to be subversive after a proper in-
vestigation.
But, by a tie vote in anothei
case, the Court upheld the right
of the government to fire, without
a trial, an employe suspected o
disloyalty.
But according to Prof. Charles
W. Soiner of the law school,
"Anyone who hires a federal em-
ployee is able to fire him." He
further said that to his knowledge
a court trial has never before been
necessary for an employee's dis-
missal..

Talk in Private
WAHINGTON d n() - Demo-
cratic senators rode down Repub-

creed a closed-door hearing for
Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Republicans immediately raised
a cry of "terrible injustice."
MacArthur will testify Thursday
about his dismissal as Far Eastern
commander and the host of foreign
policy questions his ouster raised.
The Senate Armed Services and
Foreign Relations Committees, set'
for a joint investigation with Mac-
Arthur as the first witness, voted
14 to 9 yesterday to bar the public
from the hearings.

A complicated attempt to link two University professors vith a
group listed by the House Un-American Activities Committee as a tool
in the Communist "peace offensive" drew two quick and decisive
blasts from the implicated men today.
Philip L. Schenk and Leroy Waterman, both professors emeritus,
were listed in yesterday's Detroit Times as sponsors of the American
Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born, a group whose
other sponsors included the Rev. Burt Bouwman.
Mr. Bouwman, the Times said, was also i sponsor of the Commit-
tee for Peaceful Alternatives to the Atlantic Pact, an "organization
" mentioned on the "subversive" list

'SL Decides
Not To Hold
New Ballot
- The Student- Legislature vote
e last night to uphold the decision
e of the Men's Judiciary Council i
r the Union vice-presidency elec
, tions and not to hold a new elec-
tion.
Yesterday afternoon the Judici
ary unanimously decided to en
\ the Union electign controversy by
conducting one more recunt i
which they would validate only
'those ballots on which the pol
watcher had in some way indi-
cated to the voter the school fror
whict he was to elect a candidate
* * *
PROVISIONS IN THE Unior
authorize the Judiciary to decide
disputed elections.
The elections were turned into
a wild mixup last Tuesday when
it was discovered that poll work
ers were not punching ballots;
an act designed to limit voters
to choosing among candidates
from their school only.
There were 1,744 ballots that
were declared invalid, the great
majority because poll watchers
failed to punch them.
. . * -
ACCORDING TO yesterday's
Judiciary ruling ballots that were
not punched, but were otherwise
checked or marked by polers in
a way that would have limited
voters to choosing only from their
own school will be considered
valid. This will validate 238 new
ballots.
6L voted to accept the Judiciary
decision after defeating a resolu-
tion by Tom Walsh calling for
new Union elections.
'Slanted' Newsi
Coverage Hit
"The American press is deliber-
ately presenting a completely dis-
torted picture;of news events in
Eastern Europe," Peter Furst,
Reuters correspondent just back
from five years in the Balkans, de-
clared last night.
Speaking on "Press Coverage in
the Balkans," at a meeting of the
campus Council of the Arts, Sci-
ences and Professions, Furst
charged that American news-
papers, as a result of the Cold War,
refuse to print anything favorable
about the Eastern European na-
tions.
"Foreign correspondents are in-
structed to cover Eastern Europe
objectively - from the. western
point of view," the veteran news-
man asserted.
Those who do not slant their
dispatches towards the western
pointdof view are quickly fired, he
added.I
of the House Committee.
AS FURTHER PROOF of the
"Red" nature of the ACPFB; the
Times revealed that its sponsors,
including the two professors, had
been listed this week in the Daily
Worker, official voice of the U. S.
Communist Party.
Pointing to the vague nature
of the implied linkage of the
two groups, Prof. Waterman'
said that his group, the APFB,
was certainly not in favor of
Communism
The former semitics professor
said the organization is "trying to
protect the legal rights of the for-
eign born when the government
overrides those rights."
DENYING THAT the interlock-
ing sponsorships indicated his po-
litical affiliations, Prof. Schenk
said that he would "pay no at-
tention" -to the smear.
Calling the Times' attempt to
tie the ACPFB to the "subver-
sive" Committee for Peaceful
Alternatives "absolutely ridicu-
lous," Schenk said there were
definitely no Communists in his
organization.
At the same time, members of
the Society for Peaceful Alterna-
tives,, an SAC-approved campus
group, denied any connection with
the similarly named organization
on the House Committee's list.
"The problem'of whether to af-
filiate with them came up at our
first meeting,"'Society member
Buddy Aronson, Grad., said, "and
we decided then to stay clear off
outside groups. We are strictly
an independent, University group."

Sixty Billion
Asked for
War Needs
WASHINGTON-(R)-President
Truman told Congress yesterday
the nation needs a $60 billio
military budget to continue arming
for the general war Russia ma
thrust upon the world.
He said that the $60,679,414,690
he estimated for the fiscal year,
begining next July 1, was "essentia
to our national security" because:
"The outbreak of aggression, the
threat of general war, that over-
hangs the world, make it impera-
tive to increase our defenses rapid-
ly and efficiently."
S* *
THE PRESIDENT put a note of
warning into his message of what
Russia may expect if she elects to
spread the war beyond the con-
fines of the Korean conflict. He
said: "If the Soviet Union chooses
to unleash a genei-al war, the
free world must be in a position to
stop the attack and strike back de-
cisively and quickly at the seats of
Soviet power."
Pres. Truman continued, "The
aggression in Korea showed that
the Soviet rulers were willing to
push the world to the brink of a
general war to get what they
wanted."
Emphasizing a point he had
made in his arguments for firing
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the
President declared that "we want
to keep the conflict in Korea from
spreading, if possible, because we
are trying to stop aggression with-
out starting a third World War."
He previously had contended in his
MacArthur-firing statement that
some of the Korean war strategy
ascribed to MacArthur might bring
Russia into the Asiatic conflict and
start general war.
In Korea, the President said,
Allies have "checked the plans of
Americau fighting men and their
Allies have "checked the plans of
the Kremlin to extend Communist
control to other parts of Asia"

Today is May Day.
On May Day, the religious pay,
the women play, and the Com-
munists bray.
BUT HERE in Ann Arbor, they'll
only pray and play.
A check yesterday with several
of Ann Arbor's churches revealed
that St. Mary's Chapel and St.
Thomas Church are holding May
Day services in recognition of
the month of the Blessed Virgin
Mary.
Thechurches' congregations will
pray for peace and for the con-
version of Russia.
IN OTHER AREAS of the city,
frivolous females are expected to
don their newest spring 'clothes,
pop out into the sultry May weath-
er, and gambol around the pro-
verbial maypole.
But the weatherman may
quell their enthusiasm. He pre-
dicts cloudy skies with occasional
thundershowers.
The ring - around - the - maypole
custom, according to historians,
has its roots in Man's desire to
welcome spring in a big way.

SAN FRANCISCO - The Chi-
nese Communist radio at Peiping
made its official acknowledgment
of the Red offensive in Korea yes-
terday and claimed more than
15,000 Allied troops were killed,
wounded or captured in eight
days.
George Edwards, one of the par-
ticipants in tomorrow night's
Michigan Forum discussion on
"What Action Should Result from
the Kefauver Crime Investiga-
tion?" will throw light on some of
the aspects of Detroit crime that
the Kefauver investigators missed.
The former president of the De-
troit Common Council has noti-
fied Joe Savin, '53, chairman of
the Forum, that he intends to go
into some'of the little known facts
about the Motor City's under-
world at the forum at 7:30 p.m.
tomorrow in Architecture Audi-
torium.
JOINING Edwards, who was the
Democratic candidate for mayor of
Detroit in 1949, will be Prof. John
Waite of the law school and Ches-
ter Byrnes, senior law student and
presoent of the Student Bar As-
sociation.
Prof* Waite is a nationally
known expert on criminal law.
The forum will aim to provide
answers to some of the questions
that have been brought to 'the
attention of the public as a result
of the revelations about America's
crime made known by the Ke-
fauver Committee.
Among the points that will come
in for consideration are whether
or not it is advisable to establish
a national crime commission end
what federal'legislation is needed
to aid the states in their efforts
to control crime.
The center of thebprocession

pole, glorious with ribbons and

May Day was selected as an in-
teinational labor holiday by the
International Socialist Congress of
1889.
IN, RECENT YEARS, the first of
May has become a day for Com-
milnist celebration the world over.
Last year at this time, Communists,
particularly in Berlin and Moscow,
feted the proletariat with huge
rallies and parades.
The same feverish demonstra-
tions are expected this year.
Local political groups, however,
seemed to be disinterested. As yet,
no- reports of local celebrations
have been received.
