LWI, No. 160 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1951 SIX PAGES Draft Age Set at 18 In Committee Group To Extend -'Law Until 1955 WASHINGTON-(P)-A Senate- House conference committee yes- terday agreed to lower the draft age to 181/2 years and extend the draft law until July 1, 1955. The present minimum draft age isl19. * * * YESTERDAY'S agreement par- tially resolved a month-long dead- lock over conflicting Senate and House versions of legislation for a new draft law and for setting up a Universal Military Training pro- gram some time in the future. Several key points still re- mained in dispute however, and the Joint committee will meet again to iron out the remaining differences. The present draft act expires July 9. President Truman and Secretary of Defense Marshall have urged prompt action on the legislation. * * * ORIGINALLY, the Senate voted to lower the draft age to 18 and also approved UMT. The House set 181/ for both active duty and *~UMT. Under the compromise, 18- year-olds could be inducted for training under UMT, if and when such a training system is set up. Chairman Russell (D-Ga.) of the Senate Armed Services Committee and Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) of the House group said that despite the lower draft age they expect few if any youths under 19 will be called in the next two or three years. THEY EXPLAINED that before any local draft board can take a man under 19, it must first ex- haust all available men in the present 19-to-26 age pool. The compromise requires all young men to register when they reach 18 and requires local draft boards to classify them be- fore they reached 18Y2. Classification includes physical and mental tests. It usually takes about three months. TWO POINTS remained in dis- pute when the conferees ended a three-hour closed-door session. These centered on general UMT provisions and on a House provi- sion that would limit to 12 months the service of any reserve called to duty who qualifies as a veteran .RED BRE, KTHROUGH FORCES,, E LLIED ITHDR L --Daily-Malcolm Shatz PASSING THE CANE: Norman V. Steere, '51E, presents the Cooley Cane, traditional symbol of stump speaking mastery among engineers, to Keith L. Conway, '51E, who is receiving the congratulations of Dean-elect George G. Brown for his selection as leading orator of the Sigma Rho Tau society. The cane, a gift from Dean Emeritus Mortimer E. Cooley to the engineers' speaking society, goes each year to the member of Sigma Rho Tau who is considered the best speaker. Brown vocates Return to Debate 1ti=. "Modern man must return to the debate as a means of resolving problems," Prof. George G. Brown said at the 22nd annual Tung Oil Banquet last night. Prof. Brown, Dean-elect of the College of Engineering, addressed the traditional gathering of Sigma Rho Tau, the engineers' Stump Speaker Society. PROF. BROWN criticised the recent practice of solving ques- Of His ROle In Robbery Paul Kluth, Grad., yesterday told Circuit Court jurors that he stood watch outside a local drug store on the night of Feb. 20 while Felix Mielzynski, '51, was inside stuffing stolen goods into a satchel. But, in the opening minutes of the trial. John Rae told the court that he would produce witnesses who would testify that Mielzyn- ski was somewhere else at the time that the crime was com- mitted. Kluth's testimony clashed sharp-' ly with the statement Mielzynski made to the police when he was arrested. Detective Sgt. Claude Damron testified that the defen- dent has consistently denied any part in the robbery. Mielzynski's story, according to Damron, was that Kluth had been trying for some time to persuade him to break into the store and1 steal an aphrodisiacal drug. Damron startled the court when he disclosed that Mielzynski had a tracing of the grand master keyl to the Chemistry Bldg. in his wal- let, at the time of his arrest. I This key opens every door in the building including the store-I rooms, and only a few authorized persons are permitted to use it. tions just on the opinion of any so called "expert" in a field. He said that the debate, where each side of the question is presented democratically, was the way to reach a decision which satisfied all involved. At the Tung Oil Banquet the Dean Mortimer;Cooley Cane was presented to Keith L. Conway, '51E, by last year's winer, Nor- man V. Steere, '51E. Conway was chosen for his all-around ora- torical ability and leadership in the Sigma Rho Tau socety. The Gavel Citation was awarded to Richard S. DiNolfo, runner-up in the contest for local chapter laurels. * * * AWARDS for the Sigma Rho Rho Tau Intercollegiate were given to Conway for first place in the "Hall of Fame" oratorical division and to Warren E. Norquist for a first in the impromptu class. Local first places were won by Conway, Hall of Fame class; Irving Kalson, ranconteur divi- sion; James Rogers, project ora- tory; Donald D. Walker, im- promptu class; James B. Hang- stefer, after dinner speaking; Thomas E. White, stump speak- ing; and Richard S. DiNolfo, organization. Newly elected officers of the local Sigma Rho Tau chapter are DiNolfo, president, Ronald A. Di- Cicco, vice-president; Thomas E. White, treasurer; James B. Hang- stefer, recording secretary, and James B. Rogers, corresponding secretary. Lobbyist Fined WASHINGTON-(A)-Dr. Ed- ward A. Rumely, 69 years old, yes- terday' was given a 6-month sus- pended jail sentence and fined $1,000 for contempt of Congress. The case grew out of Dr. Rume- ly's refusal last summer to tell the House Lobby Investigating Com- mittee the names of quantity buy- ers of books from his organization. He contended the committee had no right to inquire into publishing activity. UN Blocks Arms Sale To Chinese Passes Embargo Over Red Protest NEW YORK-()-The United Nations General Assembly ap- proved finally yesterday a history- making global embargo against shipment of arms, ammunition and war materials to Red China. Despite cries of the Russian bloc that the embargo resolution was shameful, the Assembly voted 47 to 0 to ask all countries in the world not to ship sinews of war to Red China and the Communist North Korean aggressors. THE RUSSIANS did not say so in words but it was obvious from their attacks on the resolution and the United States that they will ignore it. They refused to par- ticipate in the vote. Eight countries abstained. They were Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Pakis- tan, Sweden, Syria. Embargo action developed also in Washington. U. S. Senate and House conferees voted to strength- en legislation banning American economic aid to nations which, ship war goods to China, Russia or other members of the Moscow bloc. * * * UNDER THE new, tougher pro- visions, other nations would have to certify that they have not sent arms or other war materials to the Communist areas before t h e y could receive further aid. This "will put teeth into the embargo the United Nations now is trying to work out," explained Senate Republican leader Wherry. Before the vote in the UN Gen- eral Assembly, Sir Benegal N. Rau of India appealed briefly for the UN to declare that its victory would be achieved by clearing South Korea and halting at the 38th parallel.

New President May Be Named No Parking DELAWARE, O.-(R)-There is a reason why Mr. and Mrs. Charles Geckle of nearby Ash- ley don't get to town much any more: "There's no place to tie old Dolly," Geckle said. There used to be a few hitch racks where they could tie up their horse and buggy, "and we would leave Dolly and walk' a block or two," he continued. "Now," he explained, "when we do go to Ashley, I hold Dolly in an talley while my wife shops." DeVine Hits 'U' Hospital In Cox Case Charging that "police have been seriously handicapped in their ef- forts on the Cox case," Assistant Prosecutor Edmond DeVine yester- day sharply criticized University Hospital, authorities for their "de- linquency" in reporting the beat- ing of George Cox, '54.' DeVine declared that physicians treating patients with wounds in- flicted by violence are required by state law to report the case to the police. 1% Although the beaten and burned student was brought to the hospi- tal on May 4, Ann Arbor police were not notified by University of- ficials until five days later. According to a statement given earlier by Dr. Kerlikowske, direc- tor of the hospital, such reports were usually made by the head of the Health Service, Dr. William Brace. But DeVine asserted that the Hospital and not the Health Ser- vice was legally responsible for no- tifying the authorities. Previously, Dr. Brace explained that the report was delayed be- cause Cox was "confused" and the Health Service wanted to find out what had happened before "re- leasingua report that would have made us look foolish." DeVine, however, warned that passing judgment on the causes of such injuries was a function re- served for the police.

Twin Chinese Attack May CircleSeoul Enemy Losses Litter Battlefield TOKYO -(P)- Chinese Reds yesterday swarmed over thousands of their dead in a two-pronged drive which was reported forcing an Allied withdrawal all along the flaming, 125-ile front. The twin drive was slowly out- flanking Seoul, whose bristling de- fenses shattered the western wing of the first Chinese spring offen- sive in April. THE VETERAN United States Second Division alone estimated it killed 10,000 Reds yesterday while fighting free of a trap posed by the eastern Red prong near Hangye, 55 miles northeast of Seoul. The second prong began de- veloping yesterday 25 miles northeast of Seoul between Chongpyong and Kapyong. There the Reds started crossing the Pukhan River Dam under at- tack by American planes and artillery. The more powerful Red push, for the moment, was around Hangye. Red forces rolling down the Inje- Hangye Road southwest toward Hongchon blasted a big hole through South Koreans and bared, the right flank of the United States Second Division. * * * A DISPATCH from United States Eighth Army Headquarters said the Reds still were on the rampage through the break- through. Red dead littered the valleys and were draped grotesquely on barbed wire as the four-day-old Red offensive spread from the east coast for 80 miles to the Pukhan Dam sector. There trapped units of the American Division crashed boldly southward through a heavy line of Reds who had cut the Inje-Hong- chong Road, east and northeast of Chunchon. One of the three American units that escaped was "walked out" by Allied artillery. The gunners threw a complete circle of fire around the unit and moved the range back as the troops marched safely inside the explosive curtain. Wage Boost Approved for Meat Packers WASHINGTON - () - The Wage Stabilization Board yester- day approved nine cents of a pro- posed 11-cent hourly wage boost for 220,000 meat packing workers. The issue of the extra two cents was referred to a special commit- tee on inequities. * * * THE BOARD'S ACTION, open- ing a new rift in the Government's wage "freeze" ceiling, came by an 8 to 4 vote. The four industry members voted against they in- crease. When the Board's decision was announced, President Ralph Helstein of the CIO Chicago meat packers expressed disap- pointment. "We made a deal and it should have been approved," Helstein said. "The Board should have ap- proved the entire case and not parts of it. It also should have ap- proved the 22 cents average brackets adjustment." Both the CIO and AFL had threatened to strike tomorrow night if the Board turned !down their demands. However, the nine-cent increase, with the extra two cents still un- WASHINGTON - (P) - The White House reported yesterday that President Truman had been thinking about firing Gen. Doug- las MacArthur only since last August-not for the past year as he said yesterday, but the White House statement failed to check a new Republican outburst of cri- ticism over the ouster. GOP lawmakers who are study- ing the MacArthur dismissal said both publicly and privately the President's statement has opened up a new field of inquiry. THEY SAID Secretary of De- fense Marshall and Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had testified that only recent moves led to MacAr- thur's dismissal -- but that the President said he had been con- sidering it for months. - "I want to know more about this," said Sen. Smith (R-N.J.) in voicing the views of other Republicans, A Democratic member of the Senate Armed Services and For- eign Relations Committees-which are conducting the inquiry-told a newsman the Presidential state- 'ment undoubtedly will prolong the Asia policy hearings. Republicans WASHINGTON - (A") - Presi- dent Truman declared last night the United States faces its greatest crisis and called for a halt to "bickering" and the "playing of petty politics." The President, speaking infor- mally at an Armed Forces Day dinner, appealed for a united na- tion. HE ASSERTED the United States and its Allies are fighting for time. Adding that emphasis had been placed by some on the casualties in Korea, he said of course there are casualties, but added if the crisis is not met the casualties in Korea will be "one small drop in the bucket." He then mentioned "one of these horrible bombs" b u t, without finishing the sentence, resumed by asking people to think what responsibility the President is facing in the pres- ent crisis. He asked his audience to think clearly on this and to get behind the President in meeting the emergency. The President spoke after Sec- retary of Defense Marshall as- serted that our fighting men in Korea and their gallant allies "have dissipated the defeatism of a year ago" and have given new life to the UN, the North Atlantic Treaty organization and the en- tire free world. Both the President's and Gen- eral Marshall's talks were broad- cast by the Voice of America di- rect to the Armed Forces in Korea and Japan. Neither he nor Marshall men- tioned the controversy over Gen. MacArthur's dismissal. ** * SUM EQUALS FINE: Mimes Receives $100 Gift from Alumni Group V g Tradition bowed to finance at last night's annual Mimes ban- quet.
