New Offensive
Covered by Rain
TOKYO - (R) - Red troop:
poured southward in two areas o
Central Korea today under cove
of a driving rain, adding to their
buildup for a new offensive.
The Communists might be ex-
pected to unleash it in the un
favorable weather-ideal for con-
cealment and for their light trans-
portation system; unfavorable fo
Allied tanks and planes.
THE REINFORCEMENTS were
spotted in the Yanggu and Chun-
chon areas. Chunchon is eight
miles south of the 38th paralle
and 45 miles northeast of Seoul.
Yanggu is seven miles north
of the 38th parallel and more
than 70 miles northeast of Seoul.
It is at the eastern end of the
Hwachon reservoir.
There was light to moderate con-
4 tact, all along the front. But the
Reds were concentrating on the
two points in the mountainous
Central and East-Central areas:

ers have speculated that the
Reds would choose rainy weather
to renew their Spring offensive.
The earlier offensive, opened
April 22, bogged down in a little

staggering losses. It was staged in
generally clear weather. Allied
planes and artillery made the most

800 sorties. They hammered at Red

Tax Increase
on Cigarettes,
Cars Voted
WASHINGTON - (P) - The
House Ways and Means Committee
tentatively voted a $614,500,000 in-
crease yesterday in taxes on cars,
trucks, cigarettes, television sets
and a long list of household appli-
ances.
t Contrary to earlier unofficial re-
ports, however, the federal tax on
gasoline was left unchanged at 1%/
cents a gallon.
TOTAL prospective additional
revenue from the 1951 tax bill now
stands at $6,325,000,000 with sev-
eral excise tax fields remaining to
be explored. President. Truman

asked for a $10,000,000,000 revenue
increase this year.
The committee voted to raise
the cigarette tax from 7 cents a
package. to 8 cents for an esti-
mated $177,000,000 additional in-
come. The Treasury had asked
for a three-cent hike. An unsuc-
cessful effort was made to ex-
empt economy-brand cigarettes
[ from the increase.
Cigar taxes were left unchanged.
The Treasury had recommended a
$25,000,000 increase.
IF THE COMMITTEE'S recom-
mendations become law, the tax on
passenger automobiles and motor-
cycles will rise from 7 per cent at
the manufacturer's level to 10 per
I cent, rather than 20 per cent as
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
recommended. This is counted to
bring in an extra $196,000,000 a
year.

New Language
!N e w. .'
Requisiteote
Students Will Now Need Two Years
If Faculty Proposal Passes Board
By LEONARD GREENBAUM
The literary college faculty yesterday voted its approval of a new
language requirement that would demand a four semester proficiency
in a foreign language from all lit school graduates.
Before the new requirement can go into effect it must be approved
by the Board of Regents.
IT WILL NOT affect students now attending the college.
Future literary college students could satisfy the proficiency
requirement either by passing a placement test or by completing

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(/P)-
A global embargo on shipments to
Red China of arms and war ma-
terials, including material f o r
making atomic bombs, was ap-
proved yesterday by the United
Nations Sanctions Committee.
The vote was 11 to 0 with Egypt
abstaining.
The measure goes to the 60-
nation Political Committee of the
United Nations General Assembly

is certain to meet a hot reception

from the 12-nation Asian-Arab
group but its final passage by

hey would be allowed to begin any
given to those who wanted to con-
G'tinue the language they studied
previous to college. The score
would determine where the stu-
dent would start. If he passed
the equivalent of the fourth se-
mester on the placement test he
would not have to continue for-
eign language study in college.
AT THE END of ahy semester a
student who had not previously
passed the placement test but felt
that his semester's work enabled
him to do so would be allowed to
take the test.
The change from the present
requirement had been recom-
mended by a special faculty sub-
committee that has been work-
ing on the problem for two
years.
Under the present requirement,
a student needs one year of for-
aeign language study in college un-
less he has four credit units in
foreign languages f r o m high

Under the new requirement,
which is based on the quality of
teaching rather than the quantity,
the number of years studied in
high school would not be con-
sidered.

A id to India
Petit ions Hit
U' Campus
By MARY LETSIS
Today is kickoff day for the
campus-wideWheat-for-India pe-
tition.
Backed by numerous campus
groups, the petition is designed to
urge Congress to pass the cur-
rently pending Wheat to India bill.
WORKING WITH SL, the local
UNESCO chapter and the Ann Ar-
bor Council of Churches, the Stu-
dent Religious Association has sent
petition blanks, letters and bul-
letins concerning India to more
than 40 different colleges.
"We did this in an attempt to
place India's critical situation
before the eyes of many student
bodies instead of just centering
it here on campus. In this way,
we feel that whole communities
will be made more aware of In-
dia's plight," Don-David Luster-
man, '54SM, SRA committee
member, said.
The recent Wheat-for-India trek'
made to Washington by members
of the SRA prompted the drawing
up of the petition, Lusterman ex-
plained.
"IN PRESENTING the token gift1
of wheat and money to India's am-
bassador, Madame Pandit, we felt
that it shouldn't just stop there.t
If we could get a petition with
about 5,000 names on it from our7
campus-some action might re-l
sult."
The nation wide goal set by
the SRA, SL, and the local
UNESCO chapter for the peti-1
tion is 75,000 names from the
combined student bodies, Luster-

THE COUNTRIES voting for
the embargo, which was urged by
the United States, were: U. S.,
Britain, France, Australia, Cana-
da, Belgium, Brazil, the Philip-
pines, Turkey, Mexico and Vene-
zuela. Two other members of the
committee, Burma and Yugosla-
via, refused to serve when the 14-
nation group was established by
General Assembly last Feb. 1.
Even though the committee,
technically called the Additional
Measures Committee, approved
recommendations for an arms
embargo, American delegates
Ernest A. Gross said the U. S.
and others expected the UN
Good Offices Committee to con-
tinue attempts to negotiate
peace in Korea.
Peiping so far has ignored the
committee and an informed source
said today there is no sign yet
that Communist China is ready
to talk.

Claims European
Arms In Danger
WASHINGTON-(A)-ecreitary
of Defense Marshall testified yes-
terday that he believes the' na-
tion's top military men stand solid-
ly against Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur's war plans for Korea.
Marshall said adoption of the
MacArthur policies might cripple
the buildup of Europe's defenses.
THE DEFENSE CHIEF insisted
the MacArthur proposal to bomb
and blockade Red China and use
Chinese Nationalist troops might
draw Russia into the conflict and
touch off a third world war.
And he named Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, commanding the
North Atlantic Pact forces in
Europe, and Lt. Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway, who succeeded Ma-
Arthur, among those he believes
support the Truman administra-
tion's present limited-War pro-
gram.
Marshall gave these views to the
Senate Armed Services and For-
eign Relations Committees as he
ended his seventh day of testi-
mony in the inquiry Into the firing '
of General MacArthur.
THE NET WITNESS at 9 a.m.,
today, will be Gen. Omar N. Brad-
ley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. Like Marshall and Mac.-
Arthur, he also wears five stars.
MacArthur told the committees
10 days ago that "every officer I
have talked to" shared his views on
the Korean war, He said Ridgway's
official reports would show agree-
ment also.
BUT MARSHALL took issue
with him on this score during the.r
day in which Chairman Russell
(D-Ga.) of the Armed Services
group said secrets "of possible
value to Russia" already have.
leaked from the hearing
Russell pleded with his col-
leagues not to disclose highly
secret testimony which censors
have deleted from the public
transcript.
He said: "If any action of ours
adds even remotely to the dangers
that face our fighting men, if
carelessness or indiscretion in-
creases the perils that face our na-
tion, neither our God nor our fel-
low citizens will ever forgive us,
nor would we deserve such forgive-
ness,"
RUSSELL SAID at least two
newspaper stories have been based
on evidence which was not in the
released transcript and he called
this "a dangerous course." He did
not identify the stories.
Two Republican Senators,Hick-
enlooper of Iowa and Ives of New
York, complained that the ad-
ministration has been leaking in-
formation to some newspapers for
a long time-but they supported
Russell in his plea.
