FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY I DORIS FLEESON: CditoMZ6 TMote 11 Tidelands Oil "Any Leaks?" 00, DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN By JIM BROWN T. HE NEWLY ANNOUNCED' procedure granting mnuch greater responsibility to the Joint-Judiciary Coucil in the handling of disciplinary cases is one of the most sig- nificant steps forward in student self-gov- ernment in recent years. Although under the new procedure fi- nal authority in all disciplinary matters still remains with the faculty Sub-Com- mittee on Discipline, the actual decisions as to what penalties shall be handed stu- dents who violate University regulations will now be made by the student Joint- Judiciary. The wisdom of such a procedure is self- evident. Under the present University gov- erning structure, students have been given a considerable voice in all legislative mat- ters. They properly constitute a majority on the Student Affairs Committee in which resides final authority in all administrative matters concerning students. Up to the present time, however, they have been given little voice in judicial mat- ters. Such a system placing legislative and administrative authority with the students but denying them an adequate voice in the adjudication of student disciplinary affairs was obviously an incongruity. With the institution of the new proce- dure, however, this incongruity has been largely removed. Perhaps even more im- portant, the student members of the Joint Judiciary Council in much closer con- tact with the student body than are the three' faculty members of the Disciplin- ary Committee. This will enable them to inject a deeper understanding of student problems into the conduct of their hear- ings. In saluting the new disciplinary procedure it would be impossible to refrain from cit- ing three persons who were largely res- ponsible for making the plan a reality, To Prof. Lionel Laing, recently retired membe r of the Student Affairs Committee, i due much of the credit for the new pro- cedure. It was he who chaired the SAC sub- committee which originally recommended the plan and it was he who skillfully steer- ed it through the University's administra- tive organs to its adoption. Jim Smith, former president of the Men's Judiciary Council, was also highly instrumental in the adoption of the new procedure. As a member of Prof. Laing's sub-committee he helped iron out many of the difficult problems surrounding the plan and later guided the Joint Judiciary through the first weeks when the proce- dure was placed into operation. And finally, a great deal of credit for the success of the new disciplinary procedure is due Prof. William Blume of the Univer- sity Law School. As chairman of the Disci- plinary Committee, Prof. Blume wholeheart- edly supported the campaign for adoption of the new procedure and has been most help- ful to the Joint-Judiciary in the subsequent successful operation of the plan.

NIGHT EDITOR: CAL SAMRA THE MIKADO and COX AND BOX, pre- sented by the University Gilbert and Sulli- van Society, Pattengill Auditorium. FROM THE TIME a giggling coed chorus went on stage with its "Titipu Toddle" dance step, last night's performance of "The Mikado" became more than a good musical comedy-it became an exuberantly success- ful one. "The Mikado" got off to a good start, and never stopped getting better. It be-j gan with a succession of witty and melodic numbers performed competently by the male chorus and male leads. With the introduction of the feminine factor, its success was assured. Unlike so many student musical shows, this one was free of the slow-moving por- tions which often mar such productions. Most of the credit for this feature of "The Mikado" must go to Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan, but the fine direction of last night's performance by James Ueberhorst had much to do with its excellence. If the cast had any opening-night jitters, they certainly weren't noticeable. Outstanding among a superior group of soloists was James Fudge, who played the role of Koko, the Lord High Executioner, and Mary Jo Jones as Yum-Yum, as tasty a dish as ever appeared on an Ann Arbor stage. Fudge and Miss Jones were tops in both the singing and acting departments. Special praise also must go to David Murray for his portrayal of the Lord High Everything-Else, David Tolan as the Mik- ado, and Frances Morse, who played the difficult role of the beastish Katisha. Such well known numbers as "Three W ASHINGTON-A snappy closed session of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee points up some of the cross- currents which are effectively stalemating the administration legislative program. In it, Senate majority leader McFarland voted with four Republicans and two Southern Democrats to give the adminis- traticn- a setback on the tidelands oil issue. Two Republicans from interior states who had previously sided with administra- tion forces were absent. They could not have saved the situation however, even if present and willing to do so, in view of Senator McFarland's defection. The two southerners whom Senator Mc- Farland joined in the voting were placed on the committee after he had been elected leader with the almost unanimous support of the southern bloc. They are Senators Long of Louisiana and Smathers of Florida. As coastal-state senators, they were dead cer- tain to oppose federal ownership of tidelands; in fact, both were on record to that effect-- Long in the Senate and Smathers in the House. As Southerners they were also expected to go against the administration on another important controversial issue handled by In- terior and Insular Affairs-statehood for Alaska and Hawaii. However, Senator Long supported Hawaiian statehood. The Supreme Court has upheld the Federal government's "paramount inter- est" in offshore oil rights which are loosely known as tidelands oil. Actually this is a misnomer since the Federal government never has and does not claim rights in the narrow strip - over which the tide ebbs and flows nor in bays, inlets and harbors. What it does claim are rights over the stretch from low-water mark to the three- mile limit and the continental shelf be- yrnd it. President Truman has so far beaten ef- forts by the states to get back the so-called tidelands by Congressional sanction. But he has not been able himself to get Con- gressional approval of a federal arrange- ment for their management. In an effort to arrive at an interim solu- tion, Interior Committee Chairman O'Maho- ney has introduced a proposal giving the Sec- retary of Interior the right to manage the tidelands until the matter is finally settled. Senator Long's amendment to substitute a federal quitclaim to the whole property was recently defeated, 7-6. Senator McFarland voted on this occasion with a majority in which Republicans Ecton and Watkins joined all the Democrats except the south- erners. The newest effort by Senator Long-a. proposal to substitute interim management by the states instead of by the Secretary of the Interior-has now succeeded with the majority leader for it and Senators Ecton and Watkins absent and not voting. The majority leader is by nature a man who seeks compromise. It is fair to add also that he has a very slight majority with which to work. But the end result is another stalemate though Chairman O'Mahoney says grimly he hasn't given up the struggle. Meanwhile, administration Democrats are recalling that they made the fight to elect. Senator O'Mahoney leader because they feared exactly this kind of problem with their program. (Copyright, 1951, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) ___ASIA POLICY __________ -' IEARINKS -UPSTAIRS co~ - :.

Iwo Mediterranean countries that they'! are considered a part and parcel of the Western European anti-Communist line- up, and that Washington intends to look after their military interests. The opposition in Europe to the inclusion of the two countries in the pact bears no relation to the reluctance of these same countries to include Franco Spain, except insofar as all the countries are jealous of their priority rights to American arms. This is an important matter whenever the ques- tion of dividing American products comes up. But Greece and Turkey are respected by all, both for. their relative military ability and their obvious determination to fight any Comunist aggression. There is not so much doubt about them ideologically as there is about Franco, whose non-Democra- tic governmental methods place him more in the class with Tito of Yugoslavia. It might be said in passing that both seem to be working toward a better basis of cooper- ation with the democracies. It seems likely that unanimity among the pact members on admission of Greece and Turkey will be very hard to obtain, if not entirely impossible. Everybody understands that if there is aggression in Europe, everybody will be involved. But the matter of such formal commitments is another thing. The probable upshot of the U.S. proposal is likely to be the establishment in the mind of Europeans of the importance of Greece and Turkey on the southern flank of the Democratic defense line, and to pave the way for American treatment of these two countries, in the matter of war materials, about the same as pact members. THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME starring Lon Chaney Sr. Presented by the S.L. Cinema Guild, tonight at Hill Audi- torium. SILENT MOVIES can be bores and the notion that lack of sound is in itself a virtue is a fallacy held only by our more arty friends. But The Hunchback of Notre Dame has some genuine virtues: the per- formance of Lon Chaney pere, the vitality of the crowd scenes, and some ingenious pho- tography. The entire movie is informed and ani- mated by the gargoyle presence of Chaney who combines horror and grace-horror through the genius of his make-up and grace through the'ape-like athleticism of his movements. He succeeds in capturing the sympathy of his audience while re- pelling them by the sadistic delight he takes in inflicting pain. At right angles to Quasimodo's movement up and down the tower, is the vast surge of the mobs through Paris. Alternately drunken and cruel, angry and violent, they present no flattering picture of the people. And it is easy to understand Quasimodo's hatred of the mob. The essence of this picture is movement and it is recorded by the camera with high imagination and skillful variety. There is WASHINGTON-The American public has shown its ability to take1 the 'bad news along with the good and therefore has a right- to know about our worst disaster of the Korean war. So far the facts have not been released at the Pentagon,. Last month, however, 40 B-29 superfortresses, escorted by jet fighters, bombed the International Bridge connecting Sinweju, North Korea, with Antung, Manchuria. The B-29s were hugging so close to the Manchurian border that one side was exposed and approximately 100 Russian MIG-15 jet fighters hit them from the exposed Manchurian side, breaking up the formation. Two B-29s were shot down, a third was listed as missing but was seen crashing into the sea. Seven of the big spperfortresses had to crash-land in South Korea, while one more was badly damaged but made it back to the home base. Despite this disastrous toll, the bridge wasn't even hit, and the mission was a complete failure. On the other hand, most of our bombing missions have been far more successful and the Air Force on the whole has done an amazing job. When our planes get close to' the Manchurian border and Russian planes, however, the hazards in- crease. * * * THE RUSSIANS are playing the same kind -of trick in India that1 they did in France-a trick which helped inspire the Friendship1 Train in the United States. In India today, the Kremlin has suddenly announced that it is1 sending 50,000 tons of wheat to the Indian people; and as a result of this carefully timed move, Russia has monopolized the headlines and won thousands of new friends. Actually, Russia is selling the wheat,, not giving it. In contrast, the United States has been selling wheat! to India at the rate of 100,000 bushels per month for some time. ' In a somewhat similar situation in France in 1947, Russia landed one shipload of wheat in Marseilles during the height of the French drought, and, thanks to a parade through the city,' got reams of publicity and left the general impression that she was feeding the French people. Actually, France had to pay for the Russian wheat in dollars, however. This incident helped give this writer the idea of having the Am- erican people collect food by means of the Friendship Train for the then hungry people of Western Europe, and showing motion pic-i tures of the food collections and of the train in the theatres of Europe1 so Europeans could see that the food really came from the friendly] American people. Somewhat the same people-to-people movement is now taking place in regard to food for India. Thousands -of college students and others have raised wheat which they are shipping through the Indian Embassy in Washington. Meanwhile Senator Humphrey of Minnesota has worked out an arrangement with the American Red Cross where- by anyone can send cash to "Friendship Grain," care of the Red Cross, Washington, D.C., and it will be used for the purchase of food from government surpluses and shipped to India. In other words, while Congress dillydallies, the American people, as usual, are way ahead of their legislators. SO MANY THOUSANDS of words of testimony have been published regarding the MacArthur dispute, that it is difficult to keep the record straight. However, here are a few important facts, not all of them published, which should be weighed in arriving at conclusions: General MacArthur mentioned four points in the now-famous Jan. 12 memo from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Actually, there were 16 points in this memo, and it was perhaps natural that he should men- tion only the points which best supported his case. Of the 12 other points, many were technical, but several signifi- cant. One point that hasn't been published was a proposal by Wash- ington to use anti-Communist Chinese Guerrilas on the Chinese main- land and the "silver bullet" policy. The latter refers to the time-honor- ed custom of buying off Chinese generals with silver. Another important unpublished point was the Joint Chiefs of Staff advice to stabilize the Korean line if possible, and if not, to evacuate Korea altogether. Evacuation, however, was vigorously opposed by MacArthur, his chief objection being that it would appear to be a military defeat. It is understandable that he didn't want to finish his career with a military defeat, but it is also interesting that he and Secretary of State Acheson heartily con- curred in opposing any withdrawal from Korea. Their reasons, however, were different. Acheson felt that if it was finally necessary to withdraw, the withdrawal should be acknow- ledged as a military defeat. We should tell the world that we had done the best we could to block aggression, he argued, but were outnum-I bered. There was nothing dishonorable, he felt, in military defeat as, long as we had done our best. General MacArthur, on the other hand, believed that if we had to withdraw from Korea it should be labeled as a political decision by the UN, rather than one forced by military necessity, Fortunately, Chief of Staff Collins fle4 to Korea shortly there- after and decided that the UN could hold.

Sphinx Replies* * To the Editor: SPEAKING for the members of the Society, Sphinx, I should like to extend a formal apology to the men of East Quadrangle, who were disturbed by the noise at- tending our tapping activities Tuesday morning. The tapping ritual is an integral part of our' initiation procedure and a formal way of indoctrinating new members, University authori- ties were aware of our plans that evening, and had cautioied us to use discretion where the rights of others, not involved with our ac- tivity, were concerned. This cau- tion was kept in mind, but the enthusiasm of the moment got the better of our ordinarily exemplary behavior. For this again, our apolo- gies. However, I cannot refrain, in this moment of "chastisement," to direct the East Quad member who punned that, "Sphinx Stinx," to Disraeli, who said, "It is easier to be critical than correct." --Bernard Kahn President of Sphinx Language 'Requirement To the Editor: , WOULD like to protest against the proposed increase in the foreign language requirement. In the first place, it would add one more requirement to a list that already causes students headaches in laying out their ov- er-all programs. In the second place, it would accomplish no good purpose. The students who want or need one more year take it anyway. For the others, an added year of language will not give them a lasting read- ing knowledge. This can be gained only through constant practice- which the uninterested student will not take time for. The second year of a language takes good hard work and a lot of it! The hours needed for end- less translation could be better used by the individual student for courses and activities'more perti- nent to his goal in college and life. The present requirement is suf- ficient to give us as liberal a knowledge of foreign language as we are likely to need. -Millicent Vinitsky, '54 * * * Barnaby .
