Says Safeguards
Must Be Planned
WASHINGTON -(W)- General
Omar Bradley told senators yes-
terday South Korea would remain
under constant threat of new
Communist attacks if a peace set-
tlement called for the withdrawal
of United Nations forces without
any safeguards.
The five-star General said cease-
fire terms will have to contain
"certain safeguards" against a re-
newal of Red aggression-and will
involve more than just the with-
drawal of Chinese and UN forces
from Korea.
** *
"THE QUESTION of decision
that is going to have to be reach-
ed," he said, is whether or not
that (withdrawal) is acceptable
from all angles-political, military
and so forth-and it is going to
involve more than just the simple
things, that we both withdraw.
"I think it is going to have to
have certain other safeguards
but it may boil down to a ques-
tion of whether or not you ac-
cept that or nothing."
Bradley said from a military
viewpoint a withdrawal by the
Chinese-UN forces would leave the
Communists "in a more advan-
tageous position to renew the con-
flict."

Vote On Appropriations Bill Due
Tomorrow In State Legislature
By CAL SAMRA
A final State Legislature decision on the pending University budget
for the 1951-52 fiscal year is expected tomorrow, reliable sources have
disclosed.
The appropriations bill-which is apparently being studied with
a great deal of deliberation-has been tied up in the Senate Finance
Committee for nearly a week. The Senate, however, is recessing today
and the bill will not be reported out of committee until tomorrow
morning.
I * * * *
JACK GREEN, chief of the Associated Press's Lansing Bureau,
said yesterday that he believes the Finance Committee is making
some "major changes" in the bill. But no one, of course, knows what
those changes are.
When the bill is reported out of committee, it will be put to a
vote on the Senate floor. Meanwhile, the House is standing by in
the event that there is a marked difference of opinion between the
two bodies.
In that case, members of both the Senate and House will meet
in a special conference committee session to iron out any differences.
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE, Green said, is inevitable. "I've
never seen it to fail." Green is a surviving veteran of numerous legisla-
tive sessions.
Although Green is optimistic that a final decision on the Uni-
versity budget will come early tomorrow, the session-as in the
past-may drag on until late in the evening before the consummat-I
ed bill is approved.
"The decks, however, have been pretty well cleared," Green ex-E
plained, referring to the large number of bills that the Senate has!
already dealt with. "You may see quick action on the appropriations."
MEANWHILE, UNIVERSITY officials have been conferring with
State Senators. University vice-president Marvin L. Niehuss, whose
special concern has been the budget bill, was in Lansing again yes-!
terday to consult with senators.
Senators here are remaining tight-lipped over the final form
of the appropriations bill. As yet, no hints of the amount which
will be granted to the University have been expressed.
The only effectual suggestion of how the bill might finally end up
came from the House two weeks ago when that body voted a $14,-
845,000 University budget. This fell short of the Regents' final $15,-
200,000 request by $355,000.

State Votes
Higher Tax
On Gasoline
Passed Over
Governor's Veto
LANSING-(P)-On a disputed
second vote, the State House of
Representatives overrode Governor
Williams veto, and put into law
a 1% cent tax increase on gasoline
yesterday.
The bill, which will boost the
present three cent tax to 4% cents
per gallon July 1. carried with
three votes more than the neces-
sary two-thirds. However, Demo-
cratic House members hinted a
suit would be started in an at-
tempt to block the effectiveness of
the act.
THE SENATE, last week over-
rode the veto easily. When it came
to the House, for the first time
after the veto, the question of over-
riding got only 66 votes, one short.!
These votes were cast by all the
Republicans in the House. The
Democrats stuck firmly to vote
against overriding.
Then the Republicans slap-j
ped through a motion to recon-
sider the vote and left it on the
table over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Wayne County
Road Commission and Detroit City'
officials, who desperately want the
increased gasoline tax pressured
four Democrats into jumping the
party fence.
WHEN THE QUESTION came
up again yesterday, the four vot-
ed with the 66 Republicans to over-
ride easily.
Before the vote, however, Rep.
Ed Carey (D-Detroit), minor-I
ity floor leader, made a state-
ment for the record challenging
the constitutionality of the sec-
ond vote on the veto.
He said the Constitution permits
only one reconsideration. The first
vote on the veto was that recon-
sideration, he contended.

BRADLEY gave these views to
the senate inquiry group studying
the reasons behind the ouster of
Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Earlier, he declared that Mac.
Arthur's own field intelligence
should have spotted the big
Chinese Red build-up in North
Korea last Fall before it drove
his army into retreat.
With this testimony, Bradley
openlyhchallenged the MacArthur
argument that this information
was beyond the limits of his com-
mand and was the responsibility
of higher intelligence in Wash-
ington.
BUT BRADLEY added that
MacArthur could not be blamed
x if his field commanders did, not
give him the information "which
could have been obtained or
should have been obtained by air
reconnaissance and ground re-
connaissance."
For the fifth straight day Brad-
ley also turned thumbs down on
MacArthur's proposal to seek vic-
tory in Korea by bombing China1
and Manchuria, blockading the
Red-held coast, and using Chinese
nationalist troops in the Korean)
fight.
The chairman of the joint chiefs
of staff strongly suggested that
MacArthur should have resigned
*" his far eastern commands before
he began taking public issue with
the Truman administration over
Far East policy.
HE SAID PRIVATELY later that
he believed some private citizen
would start suit- to test the validity
of the law.
The Good Roads Federation,
which has been seeking the tax
boost and a broad program of
highway reform for several years,
estimated the new gasoline tax
would bring in an additional $25.-
500,000 for State and local roads.
The Governor, who said he was
"keenly disappointed" at the Leg-
is lature's action, decided not to
block the balance of the federation
program after the gas tax veto was
overriden.
He permitted a bill increasing
weight (license) taxes on commer-
cial vehicles $4,500,000 a year to
become law without his signature.

Lposes Hall
For Showing
Plans for showing "Birth of a
Nation" tomorrow hit a snag last
night when the board of trustees
of the hall in which the perform-
ance was to be held cancelled an
agreement with the movie's spon-
sor, the Neptune Film Society.
Allan Silver, '51, a member of
the film group, said the trustee's
action did not mean that the show
itself had been cancelled.
SILVER EXPLAINED that Nep-
tune made an agreement with the
hall's manager only, and when the
contract come before the trus-
tees for approval, they vetoed it.
Attempts by the film society
to make new arrangements with
other halls in Ann Arbor for
Friday night brought no definite
results.
Neptune will be able to keep the
copy of "Birth of a Nation" until
Wednesday, Silver reported.
MEANWHILE the Committee to
End Discrimination, which has
gone on record against the film,
announced that it would plan no
demonstration at the showing.
And administration officials
said the University would not in-
terfer with the "Birth of a Na-
tion" performance because the
sponsoring group does not have
University recognition.
Clay Bredt, Spec., a member of
the Neptune Society, has asked
students who know of local halls
available for rent contact him at
once.

WASHINGTON-1)--A bitterly

as an added attraction.
TYLER MEN had donated their
old neckties to the sale. These were
auctioned off to the highest bid-
ders, and with any sales of more
than 50 cents, the purchaser was
treated to a kiss from ADPis Mibbs
Lindquist, '53, Barbara Johnson,
'53, and Barbara Henderson, '53.
Although the Tyler necktie
sale had been held before, last
night was the first time an added
female incentive was added. The
aid of the sorority women was
solicited by Herb Peck, '51, a
staff assistant.
CO-CHAIRMEN Bill Kristofetz,
'54E, and Bill Jackson, '54 A&D,
reported that they were somewhat
dissatisfied with the number of
50 cent sales, since only 12 ties
were given with kisses. The total
sales netted about $17 for the Tyler
House council from 120 neckties.
Those who did pay for the added
attraction seemed to be satisfied
with their purchases. One lip-
stick-smeared resident, when asked
if it was worth 50 cents, said "Ooh,
was it ever!"

SL To Ask
Delegates
To Meeting's
After more than two hours of
procedural wrangling, Student
Legislature last night voted to in-
vite representatives of seven cam-
pus organizations to attend SL
meetings as non-voting members.
Motion and counter - motion
swept the floor, as the legislators
bickered over numerous amend-
ments and parliamentary ques-
tionsa before finally reaching a
vote at 12:05 a.m.
THE NEW set-up, sponsored by
Wally Pearson, '53, provides for
inclusion of the League, Union,
Graduate Student Council, Asso-
ciation of Independent Men, Pan-
hellenic Association, Interfratern-
ity Council and Assembly Associa-
tion in the SL meetings. Delegates
from these organizations will have
speaking, but not voting rights.
The stated purposes of the
motion are to "gain better -u.
derstanding and promote better
cooperation" between SL and
major campus groups. How ver,
the outside representatives may
speak only on questions pertain-
ing to their organization.
The final passage of the motion
by an 18-15 vote was accomplished
only after backers of the plan
