I&, No. 90 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, FEB. 17, 1951 SIX PAGES I GO Regent Nominations Seem Sure Bonisteel, Doan Expected Choices 7 special to The Daily DETROIT-The expected battle for one of the Republican nomina- tions to the Board of Regents f all- ed to materialize here as the GOP Sconvention delegates all, but select- ed their candidates for the two seats in private pre-convention I meetings.,last night. Ae convention itself was slated for today. Incumbent Regent Roscoe I. Bonisteel of Ann Arbor appeared destined to receive one of the nominations with most delegates apparently behind him at pre- convention caucuses held last night. IN WHAT HAD promised to be a wide open race for the other 7 board post, all opposition to Le- )ard I. Doan of Midland was rap- idly crumbling. The bulk of the huge Wayne County delegation was reported to be pledged to Doan. It is likely that ex-state Sena- tor James A. Milliken of Traverse City, who had promised to be a strong contender, may not even ' place his name on the floor. Milliken's hopes became in- craslngly smaller with the news that Kent County Republicans' in asurprise move had thrown their support to a dark horse, F. Row- land Allaben. HOWEVER, many delegates felt that Allaben and other candidates would drop out of the running after the first ballot, if they enter the contest at all. Still making a bid for the nomination last night were Har- old A. Fitzgerald, publisher of the Pontiac Press, Dr. Arthur J. Bolt of Muskegon, and Guy C. Y Conkle, Boyne City attorney. if Bonisteel and Doan win to- day, they will face ex-governor MXurray D. Van Wagoner and Wheaton IQStrome, Escanaba at- tthey, Democratic nominees in the April 2 election. VAN WAGONER was appointed by Governor Williams to fill the post which became vacant with the death of Regent Ralph A. ^ Hayward. Bonisteel's term ex- pires at the end of this year. . Inlcumbents to the State Board of Agriculture, State Board of Education, State Supreme Court, 7 and Superintendent of Public In- struction are all expected to be 4 renominated. iftFraternity2.4 rude Reg ulation China Peace, Quit Korea, Leader Asks Premier Says War Not Certain 4 4> Reds Penetrate UN Central Front TOKYO-(P)-Between 15,000 and 20,000 North Korean Reds yesterday penetrated the east flank of the central front near die- chon, a field dispatch reported. AP correspondent John Randolph said three North Korean divi- sions attacked a few miles north of Chechon, a rail and road junction. THE PENETRATION was limited and, for the moment, not seri- ous. "While the North Koreans penetrated the line, it was in no sense a breakthrough," Randolph said. "Rather the Allied forces rolled with the punch." Labor Kicks A bout Wage CefiingPlan WASHINGTON-P)--The Gov- ernment's whole h o m e front controls program, including a new wage-ceiling formula, was angrily assailed by top labor lead- ers yesterday with a veiled hint of complete withdrawal from the program. Three labor members of the Wage Stabilization Board walked out Thursday and were author- ized by the United Labor Policy Committee to submit written res- ignations to President Truman immediately. The ULPC, which represents AFL, CIO and Railroad Brother- hoods, was joined in its protest. yesterday by John L. Lewis. The United Mine Workers chief issued a statement saying the proposed wage ceiling-limiting wage in- creases to 10 per cent above Jan. 15, 1950-is "unjustifiable and op- pressive." The North Koreans, identified as the Fifth Corps, appeared to be trying to slip into the Pyongchang- Yongwol-Tanyang mountain route to the south. * * * THIS WAS A SHARP shift in Communist strength eastward from Chipyong and Wonju, two mountain strongholds where the Chinese Reds suffered 22,128 cas- ualties in four punishing days try- ing for a breakthrough. Allied forces not only held- firmly at those two points yes- terday but even sent patrols north for more than two miles beyond Chipyong. Chinese forces which had been battering at Wonju vanished last night. * s s THURSDAY NIGHT and earlier yesterday, Chinese had joined with North Koreans in two attacks six to 10 miles north of Chechon. Al- lied artillery shattered one attack. South Korans checked the other. One 800-man enemy force in- filtrated to within five miles northwest of Chechon yesterday. Chechon, a rail and road hub in the mountains of central Korea, was the goal of the Reds who unsuccessfully attacked the Wonju salient last month. Change Ends Five Year Controversy Establish New 2.0 Requirement By JIM BROWN Daily Managing Editor Dean of Students Erich A. Wal- ter yesterday announced the lift- ing of the highly controversial regulation requiring all campus fraternities to maintain an over- all house scholastic average of 2.4 or better. The unheralded removal of the hotly disputed 2.4 ruling brought a sudden and unexpected end to the raging controversy which has centered around the regulation since 1946. * * . ESTABLISHED shortly before the last war by the Student Af- fairs Committee on the recom- mendation of the local Fraternity Alumni Council, the 2.4 ruling was designed to force local fra- ternities to maintain scholastic averages commensurate with other campus groups. It provided that any frater. nity which failed to make a 2.4 average during any given year should be placed on warning. If that fraternity again failed to maintain a 2.4 average the following year, it was to be placed on social probation and later denied the right to pledge new members. The ruling was temporarily shelved during the war and was actually placed in effect in 1946 -at the request of the fraternity alumni. SINCE THAT time.several fra- ternities have been placed on warning and for the first time last fall, four fraternities were actually placed on social proba- tion for the current academic year. In the meantime, however, fraternity men here on campus fought the regulation tooth and nail with apparently little suc- cess. Several meetings were held with the alumni groups in an attempt to get the ruling lifted, but all met with failure. Only a few weeks ago, however, Dean Walter wrote the Alumni Council recommending that the regulation be removed, especially in light of the current mobiliza- tion program. * * * THE BOARD of Directors of the Alumni Council voted on Feb. 1 to accept Dean Walter's recom- mendation and the Student Af- fairs Committee lifted the ruling last Tuesday. Pointing out that "there was very little to recommend the 2.4 regulation during the past three years," Dean Walter said that it had always seemed an "incongru- ity" that one particular group should be required to maintain a 2.4 average, while the rest of the student body Is asked to keep only a 2.0 average. "The regulation was imposed on the fraternities before the war and was never part of the frater- nity men themselves," he said. - * '::.' :: iV.

This new ruling gave the Feb- ruary graduate the choice of three alternatives: enlistment wtihin 30' days, find an essential job, or return to school. Though the spring semester BIG FINES SET: lEC Warns of Dirty tRushing Crackdown has already started University officials said that February grad- uates who want to enroll for post- graduate work would be allowed to register late with the permis- sion of their respective college deans. * * * THE NEW ruling also allows students to transfer to another school for the second semester and still keep their postponement. While no other rule changes w e r e announced, unofficial sources stated that a new policy toward students is now being discussed among Selective Serv- ice officials. This new policy, to be revealed before the end of the semester, is expected to be more favorable toward students than had previously been anti- cipated. Meanwhile, the Michigan Em- ployment Service in Ann Arbor yesterday announced the receipt of a list of critical occupations. This list was prepared In August prior to thepdeclaration of a state of emergency and is classi- fied as preliminary and subject to review and revision. IT IS to be used only in ad- vising individuals concerned and is not available for publication. Any information desired about particular occupations and activi- ties may be obtained from the Employment Service located at N. Main and Felch. TT 0 __ _ _ c1..1 By CHUCK ELLIOTT The five-year mystery of 3,800 fenced acres of land in western Washtenaw County was finally solved yesterday when the Chrys- ler Corporation announced that it had bought the area for a proving ground. CED Praises Deans' Report On Admission The Committee to End Discrim- ination last night hailed the Con- ference of Deans recommendation calling for the elimination of all potentially discriminatory fea- tures of admission blanks to Uni- versity schools. In a formal statement the CED said, "We believe that the Con- ference of Deans report is a su- perb piece of work. We are con- fident that its implementation is only a matter of time." * * * CED PRESIIiENT Al Silver, told the committees that when a delegation had consulted Wayne L. Whitaker, secretary of the Medical School, about the report, Whitaker had remained non- committal over future changes in Medical School application forms. The Medical School had been the chief subject of CED's campaign. But, Silver said, Prof. Harold M. Dorr, chairman of the Deans Committee, had expressed hope that the Medical School would not find it necessary to retain the questions. CED made it plain that it had no intention of becoming extinct with the termination of its pres- ent admission forms campaign. At the same time Silver report- ed that CED had been approached by representatives from Michigan State College for aid in the for- mation of an MSC group with a similar purpose. The firm said that construction of the few necessary buildings would "get underway soon" on the tract, located 13 miles west of Ann Arbor and two miles south of Chelsea. * S * - ABOUT FIVE years ago, Detroit real estate broker John Hanna be- i gan buying large chunks of prop- erty in the area for reputedly fan-, tastic prices. Immediately, rumors started circulating. Guesses about the use of the property ranged from a plush nudist colony to an atomic en- ergy installation. Early in 1949, newspapers reported that Chrys- ler was definitely behind the purchases, and intended to use the land for a proving ground. Hanna refused to reveal any- thing, however, and continued to buy up farms, backed by an ap- parently limitless bankroll. By the summer of 1949 he had acquired close to 4,000 acres, and had be- gun selling back small bits to even off the tract. THEN, IN JULY of 1949, he pe- titioned to have six miles of coun- ty roads in the area closed. After a series of publicrhearings, at which irate farmers complained severely about the proposed clos- ings, Hanna agreed to pay forty thousand dollars to the county for improvements on other roads in the area. All buildings were removed from the hilly, partly wooded site, and a few months after the County Board of Supervisors okayed the road-closing, work- men started to erect a seven-foot wire fence around it. Things remained a mystery un- til yesterday. Local officials ex- pressed their relief upon hearing the Chrysler announcement, be- cause it had been feared that an industrial development in the area might create great overcrowding and general problems for western Washtenaw County. Dog Tags AUGUSTA, Me. -()- Hyd- rant-shaped dog license tags got the State Agriculture De- partment in the dog house last year. Sensitive dog lovers protest- ed that the tags were a slur on man's best friend. So the department came out with a new style tag for 1951 -shaped like doghouses. Troop Del"ay Seen Deadly By Acheson WASHINGTON-MA'-Secretary of State Acheson told Congress yesterday that if the United States held back troop support until after an attack on Europe, it might mean "suicide for all of us." Acheson also cautioned that THE SECRETARY, testifying at a jam-packed Senate hearing, gave assurance that Wstedr Europe is girding for its own defense. He said this country's European allies are expected to double their combat forces in the next year. Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Army Chief of Staff, told the law- makers that plans for the dis- patch of four more American divisions to Europe-as dis- closed by Secretary of Defense Marshall yesterday-would "im- measurably improve" the safety of the two U.S. divisions now in Germany if Russia attacks. Bradley said the divisions in Germany would be "in great dan- ger" if war came.. He said the proposed increase in military strength would discourage, rather than provoke, an attack by Rus- sia. Acheson expressed hope of fit- ting Spain, Turkey, Greece and Yugoslavia into the European de- fense setup. World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Sen.

LONDON--Prime Minister Stalin said last night the United States is leading the United Na- tions toward war and disintegra- tion along "the inglorious road of the League of Nations" Hedeclared UN forces must face defeat in Koreaunless Britain and the United States accept Red China's proposals for settling Far East problems. The 71 year old Russian leader" made his first major pronounce- ment in two years on world af- fairs. Despite his talk of war, he said World War III is not inevi- table. STALIN MADE his views known in a long interview published by the Communist Newspaper Pravda and broadcast from Moscow last, night. Stalin assailed as "shameful" the UN decision to brand Com- munist China an aggressor. He, depicted the Korean War as "e- trenmely unpopular" among the American and British soldiers, asserting: "It 'stands to reason that the most experienced generals and of- ficers can suffer defeat if the soldiers regard the war imposed upon them as profoundly unjust, It is difficult to convince the sold- iers that the Upited States of America is entitled to defend its security on the territory of Korea and at the frontiers of China" PRAVDA SAID IT asked Stalin how the Korean War would end, and that he replied: "If Britain and the United States reject finally the propos- als made by the People's Gov- ernment of China, the war in Korea can only end in a defeat of the interventionists." The proposals he refeired to ap- parently are the demandIs of Com- munist China that the UN forces withdraw from Korea, that Com- munist China be admitted to the United Nations and that United States forces withdraw from the Formosa area. S * *t ON THE BROAD subject of the Unfited Nations, Stalin declared its "aggressive core" is 10 countries of the North Atlantic Pact, led by the United States, and 20 Latin American countries. "The representatives of these countries now decide the fate of war and peace in the United Na- tions," Stalin said. "It was they who carried in the United Na- tions the shameful decision on the aggressiveness of the Chin- ese People's Republic.. "The United Nations organiza- tion is therefore taking the in- - glorious road of the League of Na- tions. In this way it is burying its moral prestige and dooming itself to disintegration." * * * BUT TO/THE question "Do you consider a' new World War inev- table," Stalin was quoted in Prav- da as replying: "At least at the present time it cannot be considered inevi- table. Of course in the United States, in Britain as also -in France, there are aggressive for- ces thirsting for a new war. They need war to obtain super profits, to plunder other countries. Stalin said these foces were trying to deceive the peoples and had led their governments to turn down Soviet bids for peace and the control of arms. Peace will be pre- served, he said, if the peoples take the job into their own hands. Stalin said that Prime Min- ister Attlee of Britain had liedIn depicting the Soviet Union as building up its armed forces. "It is known to the whole world Dirty rushers, beware!
