General's Senate HearingClosed GovernorScorns Taft Arms Plan Reducing Armaments Resembles 'Stripping to BVDs,' Williams Says By JOHN BRILEY Gov. G. Mennen Williams declared yesterday Senator Taft's recom- mendation to reduce the Armed Forces by half-a-million, bomb Man- churia and blockade China was like "stripping to your BVD's and jumping into an ice box." The governor, who was in Ann Arbor to serve on the "court" of the Case Club finals, also stated that he had no objection to a little Kefauver Committee" for Michigan. A LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE investigation might do a lot of good, the Governor said, but he added its effectiveness would depend ~ ultimately on the quality of pre- - 1liminary investigators. WASHINGTON - WI)- Into: congressional dispute on makin Gen. Douglas MacArthur's testi mony public the Joint Chiefs o Staff yesterday dropped the re port on last fall's Wake Islan meeting between the General an President Truman. It quoted Gen. MacArthur a telling President Truman ther was "very little" chance for inter vention in Korea by Red China o: Russia. But questions were raisedim- mediately as to whether Gen. MacArthur was talking about the chance there would be such intervention or about the chance of success the Reds would have if they did come in. The text showed this questior from President Truman at th October meeting: "What are the chances for Chinese or Soviet interference?" "Very little," Gen. MacArthur replied. But the documeAt went on with- out a break quoting him on the difficulties an intervening force would meet at that stage: "Had they intervened in the first or second months it would have been decisive. We are nc longer fearful of their interven- tion. We no longer stand hat ir hand." From that the general contin- ued, still without a break, intc a discussion of the forces avail- able to the Reds and the hazards they would face if they started across the Yalu River. * * * MEANWHILE, Senate Demo- crats after using filibuster tactics, last night blocked a Republican move for wide open hearings on Gen. Douglgs MacArthur's Quster, The Senate, on a vote of 42 te 40, recessed at 8:40 p.m. without reaching a vote on a Republican motion that Gen. MacArthur be heard in open committee session. He is due to start testifying at 9 a.m. today behind closed doors. The recess put off any action on the motion until at least 11 a.m. today, two hours after Gen. MacArthur is due to start testify- ing. All Republicans voted against ' recessing while all Democrats vot- ed to recess, except Sen. Pat Mc Carran, of Nevada, who sided with Republicans as he had on earlier tests. Sen. Kenneth Wherry, of Ne- braska, the GOP floor leader, said Republicans will continue the fight for public sessions. G 9 * * General: Wake Tbalks Dgo Not Bear on Korea NEW YORK-(P)-Gen. Court- ney Whitney, aide to General Douglas MacArthur, last night quoted him as saying the admin- istration's reports of the Wake Island conference have "just about as much bearing on the problem of Korea today as would a report of the military operations on Bunker Hill." Gen. Whitney added Gen. Mac- Arthur "didn't know notes were being taken" during the meeting. Asked to comment on a report five copies of a document about the Wake Island conference had been sent to Gen. MacArthur Oct. 19 and a receipt signed for them by one of the general's aides, Gen. Whitney said: "It is probably time. I have no reason to doubt it. No atten- tion was paid to it in Tokyo. It was put in the files because a com- munique had been issued after the conference deemed to cover the activities of the conference." Student Advisors To Counsel Today Students may discuss their con- centration and elections at the literary college's Student Advisors (candtidates Seek New UnionVoe Though the recount of the bal- lots cast in the Union vice-presi- dential elections show no changes in who won, the nine who were defeated have petitionled the Men's Judiciary Council for a new elec- tion. The recount was brought about when the Judiciary decided to count 238 ballots which they orig- inally had declared invalid. A total of 1,744 were voided in the recent election, the majority of them because poll watchers had failed to punch on the ballot the school for which the voters were entitled to elect candidates. The 238 ballots which were in- cluded in the new count were bal- lots on which the proper school was not punched but was indicated by a check mark by the poller. In challenging the Judiciary de- cision the defeated candidates as- serted because elections were de- cided by as few as six votes it is very likely the will of the students has not been carried out. Filipino Civil War Possible, VisitorClaims "As a result of the corrupt gov- ernment now in power irk the Philippines a civil war can easily take place within the next two years," Shihkuo Pao, Grad., said yesterday at a meeting sponsored by the Union and UNESCO. "This situation can be resolved only if the United States steps in and forces the existing Liberal{ government to enact badly-need- ed economic and political re- forms, he added. Pao, who has spent four years in the Philippines, warned against the existing threat of the Hukba-; lahaps, Communist guerilla move- ment which has the support of1 about 20,000 Filipinos including. 7,000 Communist Party members. "This group can easily take over because of the general dissatisfac- tion prevalent in the Philippines. One-half of the farmers are ten- ants under autocratic landlords, wages in industry are low and the standard of living is very low,"; Pao explained. Right now the only investi- gating staff in the state consists of 20 or 30 men on the State Police force, Gov. Williams said. "We would have to augment that force considerably to make any state-wide crime investiga- tion really worthwhile.", The governor recommended a force similar to the FBI be set up under the attorney general to per- manently investigate law enforce- ment in the state. He explained that the State P6lice function * * * commu.nists Buy Rubber In Malaya Parliament Split On Policy Issue LONDON-(RP)-The colonial of- fice disclosed yesterday British Malaya sold 120,000 tons of rubber to Communist China and 40,400 tons to Soviet Russia in the nine months ended in March-all since the outbreak of the Korean war. Angry words on the handling of this strategic material bounced about Parliament. The sales to Red China had increased heavily since United States forces under- took to stop Communist aggression in Korea. During all 1949, Malaya sent only 27,500 tons to China. * *9 * CONSERVATIVE leader Win- ston Churchill and Defense Min- ister Emanuel Shinwell tangled in the House of Commons. The storm apparently caught Shinwell by surprise. He ducked and parried some of the ques- tions hurled at him from the Conservative benches. Churchill glared across the chamber at the defense minister. "Don't you know anything about it at all?" he demanded. Shinwell snapped back: "I know more about it than you do." THE RUBBER shipment figures were given by T. F. Cook, under- secretary of the colonial office, in reply to a question. A. G. Bottomley, secretary for overseas trade, reported no steps were taken by the recent rubber conference in Rome to prevent the 'export of rubber to the Com- munist sphere. No one outside the Communist world officially knows what hap- pens to rubber landed in China, but it is required for tires and scores of other military needs. World News Roundup By The Associated Press LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. - The United States will call today for a world-wide embargo on Red China to stop shipment of sup- plies for making atomic weapons and on all other war materials, informed quarters said last night.' * * *.

White House press secretary Jo- seph Short said he was unaware of any plan to recall O'Dwyer from his M4exico City post, as demand- ed by a number of Republicans fol- lowing- Tuesday's publication of the crime committee's report. THE COMMITTEE charged that O'Dwyer, while Mayor of New York, associated with racketeers and failed to act effectively against big time lawbreakers. The report said his actions "impeded" some prosecutions and "contributed to the growth of organized crime." The Republicans have clam- ored for O'Dwyer's dismissal as Ambassador to Mexico. Acheson replied with a crisp "no" when asked at a news conference if he thought, the 'crime commit- tee's report had an unfavorable ef- fect on this country's relations with Mexico. "* * * HE SAID HE HAD no plan to confer with O'Dwyer as a result of the committee's findings. Acheson said that if he thought there was any reason to remove an ambassador, he nIaturally would take the matter up with President Truman. A reporter asked if he planned to take such a step with regard to O'Dwyer. Smiling, the Secretary said he had no comment on aload- ed question like that. (In Mexico City, O'Dwyer had no comment on the Senators' charges.) The Crime Committee, mean- while, started drafting laws which would put into effect many of the 22 anti-crime recommendations it made in Tuesday's report. One of the principal bills it plans to introduce would ban the inter- state transmission of gambling in- formation, thus striking at the racing wire service which the com- mittee described as the lifeline of large scale gambling. The Committee was scheduled originally to go out of existence yesterday but -it recently was granted a four-month extension to complete its work. Aptitude Test DeadlineSet WASHINGTON--O)-The dead- line for college men to submit ap- plications to take the aptitude test which will be a factor in de- ciding which students shall have draft deferments has been set at May 15, according to Maj. Gen. Lewis Hershey, director of Selec- tive Service. All postcard applications for the test must be postmarked not later than midnight May 15, Hershey said.

WILLIAMS also com- mented on rumors of dissatisfac- tion among labor leaders at his appointment of Blair Moody to Arthur Vandenberg's seat in the United States Senate. He said al- though the CIO had come out for George Edwards, former city councilman of Detroit, other unions had favored different pos- sible appointees. He said he was very pleased with the reaction to Moody's appointment in Michigan and Washington. Caps and Gowns . Plans Announiced Seniors in the literary college who want caps and gowns for commencement may have their measurements taken at Moe's Sport Shop on North University during the next two weeks. Francis Pruss, '52L, and James Huston, '52L, representing the Cooley Club, were declared win- ners of the annual Case Club Com- petition last night at a banquet in the Union honoring Case Club contestants. A distinguished "court" of judges headed by Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams had heard the final trial of the competition argued yesterday afternoon in Hutchins Hall. Pruss and Huston were opposed by Thomas Allen, '52L, and Robert Deane, '52L, representing the Day Fraternities, Sponsors Pair For IFCSin Sorority sponsors for the 11 finalists in the' Interfraternity Council Sing were chosen yester- day in a lottery at the Union. George Chapelis, chairman of the sing, drew the fraternities' names from a hat to pair them off with the sororities participat- ing. The allotment was guaran- teed by the IFC to be honest, and done without malice. The following pairs were made: Chi Phi - Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Psi - Alpha Epsilon Phi; Delta Tau Del- ta - Kappa Kappa Gamma, Lamb- da Chi - Alpha Delta Zeta, Phi Delta Theta - Gamma Phi Beta, Phi Gamma Delta - Zeta Tau Al- pha, Phi Kappa Tau - Kappa Del- ta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon - Delta Gamma, Sigma Chi - Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Phi - Pi Beta Phi and Sigma Phi Epsilon - Kappa Alpha Theta. The sororities are supposed to provide a solid cheering section for the fraternities they sponsor at the IFC Sing at 7:30 p.m. Wed- nesday at Hill Auditorium.

Runners- up Allen and Deane were each awarded $50 prizes. Chief Judge Orie Phillips, of the Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, Denver, made the prin- cipal address at the banquet, speaking on his "40 Years at the Bar and on the Bench." Judge Phillips had joined Gov. Williams, Dean E. Blythe Stason, of the Law School, and Chief Judge Arthur Lederle, of the Federal Dis- trict Court for the Michigan East- ern Division, in hearing and eval- uating the arguments of the Case Club finalists in the afternoon trial. - * * * JUDGE PHILLIPS declared the presentations of the oral argument were generally excellent with both sides giving very creditable per- formances. The contestants were not judged on points of law, but were installed solely on presenta- tion of oral arguments and briefs. The case for the final round, has been constructed around the use of the mails by a group listed as a "Communist front" or- ganization by the Subversive Ac- tivities Control Board. The trial amounted to a hypothetical test of the constitutionality of the McCarran law. It is without significance that the team supporting the law was declared winners. The Case Club Competition was established by a Detroit law firm in honor of Henry Campbell to give law students a chance to run practice trials under actual court conditions. UN Victor' Three Division Attack Expected TOKYO-4-P)-The Reds yester- day were reported 'getting read! to renew their bogged-down sprin offensive in Korea with a three division assault on Seoul.

Police Query 14 About Vandalism AT MICHIGAN FORUM: Citizens' Participation In Government Urged By PAUL MARX Greater citizen participation in government removal of corrupt of- ficials and establishment of local crime commissions were advocated at last night's Michigan Forum as means of combatting the wide- spread crime reported by the Ke- fauver Committee. Chester Byrnes, president of the Student Bar Association, who along with George Edwards, former president of the Detroit City Coun- cil, and Prof. John Waite, of the Law School, participated in the discussion, asserted citizens them- selves are to blpme for the pre- sence of unthrottled crime in their to be elected by only a minority of the eligible voters, it will not be hard for gangsters to have their own candidates elected.
