At Six Points BULLETIN CENTRAL FRONT, Korea-- (M'-Alied corps officers said yesterday they believed the Chi- nese ability to mount an offen- r~sive in Korea has been crushed "for at least three months." TOKYO--015--More than 60,000 Chinese Reds were "running like hell" into North Korea yesterday under Allied artillery and air bom- bardment but 2,000 were trapped *south of the 38th parallel. Flight of the Communists neared a panic as Allied columns in hot pursuit plunged across 38th at six points in the east, central and west-central areas. "They don't like the enemy be- hind them any more than we do. ~So they are running like hell," a 'frontline officer said. AP CORRESPONDENT Jim Becker said the trapped 2,000 made a desperate, unsuccessful { three hour, pre-dawn fight to break out of the trap near Chun- chon, 45 miles northeast of Seoul. Everywhere onrushing Allied troops found evidence of panic. Truckloads of rice and ammuni- tion were left behind. Many of the Reds discarded their uni- *forms and apparently sought to escape in civilian clothes. At Eighth Army Headquarters a briefing officer said at least 60,000 Chinese Reds were retreating on the central and east central fronts '.alone. UNITED NATIONS troops met only delaying actions as they swept forward on a line stretching from -the Yellow Sea in the west to the sea of Japan in the east. f Night and day pounding by Al- lied artillery and warplanes seemed to have taken the fight out of the Chinese. They were giving up in record numbers, field dispatches said. Correspondent Becker said the UN commanders appeared to be making a daring bid for victory. Twenty to thirty thousand Chi- nese fled northeast toward Inje, four miles north of the 38th on the 1,500 'U' Hopefuls Take Draft Exam State Bill Totals $306,000,000 Appropriation Result of Record. 29 1/2 Hour Joint Session in Legislature By CAL SAMRA Special to The Daily LANSING-The State Legislature, wearied by a record 29 and a By JACK REYNOLDS More than 1500 University men yesterday took their keep-study- ing-or-start-soldiering draft de- ferment test. The examination, first -of its kind and the largest mass quiz- zing ever held in this country, took place simultaneously at more British Ask Hague Talk On Iran Oil1 THE HAGUE, *The Netherlands -(IP')-Britain and the billion dol- lar Anglo-Iranian Oil Company asked the International Court of Justice yesterday to force Iran to submit to arbitration in the peace- threatening dispute over nationali- zation of oil. U.S. Ambassador Henry F. Grady handed to the Iranian foreign min- ister, in Tehran a note declaring the dispute was of the utmost im- portance to the "entire free world" and strongly urging a settlement by negotiation. The United States plainly was worried that the situation might lead to the intervention of troop: from both Britain and Russia. s DISPATCHES from Tehran told of unconfirmed reports that some of Premier Mohammed Mossa- degh's National Bloc at last were willing to sit down with the British for talks. It remained to be seen, however, how Mossadegh and his fiery fol- lowers would react to the latest developments. These included not only Bri- lain's appeal to The Hague and the United States' urging of negotiations, but also the an- nouncement Friday that 4,000 British parachute troops are be- ing dispatched to Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean-within 1,000 miles of the Abadan re- finery in Iran. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) asked the president of the International Court of Justice to appoint an arbitrator to settle the dispute. A FEW HOURS later the British government, owner of about 53 per cent of AIOC's shares, gave its full weight to the application with a request that the court declare the Iranian government is obligated to submit the dispute to arbitration. Failing that, the British said Iran should be held responsible for an act "contrary to international law." than 1000 centers across the coun- try drawing approximately 175,- 000 college men. The usual examination-tension appeared absent this morning as applause and cheering echoed through Waterman Gym, one of the local testing centers, as the initial "go" signal was given. Three hours later the word "stop" met with loud booing. At another local center students taking the test complained that monitors refused to tell them the amount of time remaining for the exam. This, reportedly, caus- ed many to misjudge the time al- lotedl and thus fail to complete the entire exam. Made up of 150 multiple-choice questions, the three hour test dealt mainly with such funda- I mentgl subjects as vocabulary, reading skill and mathematics. Dave Ramsey, '53, found the exam "a miniature of the Coast Guard test I took last February." -Likewise, Thad Epps, '52E, de- clared, "It was a good exam, the typical kind of aptitude test you usually get with plenty of time to finish." Not quite so pleased was Harry half hour continuous session Friday and late yesterday, finally passed a huge State budget of more than $306,000,000, including what was pre- dicted early Saturday morning by University officials-a University appropriation of $14,845,000. The omnibus bill was finally accepted by both the House and Senate after conference committees had wrangled over the bill until after sunrise yesterday. The exhausted Legislature adjourned at 3:35 * *" p.m. yesterday at the end of the 1 longest Legislative "day" in its LegislatuJre history.*** Cleans Slate On Last Daylk -Daily-Roger Reinke TREE SPLINTERED-A sudden gust of wind yesterday wreaked havoc on one of the old elm trees on N.

However, damage to the car was limited to a few fair-sized dents in the hood. Police reported no other dam- ages resulting from the storm. 1V WT 0 7 By TOM" ARP Special to The Daily LANSING-Weary Senate and House legislators headed for their homes yesterday having cleared the slate of all bills waiting for action.. Chief among the measures re- sulting from the flurry of final- session debate was a hard-fought bill resurrecting Michigan's pow- erful one-man grand jury. The bill, which now awaits Gov. Williams' signature, is the result of the efforte' of several Repub- lican legislators, backed by many leading lawyers, to restore a strong racket-busting law to the criminal code. THE NEW LAW includes a con- troversial clause providing manda- tory immunity for witnesses who might incriminate themselves by testifying. The one-man grand jury law came on top of the legislature's huge $306,000,000 budget appro- priation. In its last session the legislature passed laws requiring loyalty oaths for aill public employees, permit- ting life imprisonment of subver- sives, and allowing a 20-year-to- life sentence for those convicted of selling dope to minors. THE REPUBLICAN House and Senate again refused several of Democratic Gov. Williams' pet projects. The lawmakers rejected his recommendations for such measures as a corporation profits tax, a sex deviate program, repeal of the old-age assistance lien law, and laws making the enrichment of flour compulsory. The governor was denied exten- sive powers over transportation, communications and industry in times of state emergency. Also refused were bills providing capi- tal punishment, registration of Communists, a cigarette stamp tax, and four-year terms for state,. legislative and county officers. One bill met with very little opposition. It provided for a pay increase for the legislators. I east central front and 75 northeast of Seoul. Before then, results of all the tests will have been tabulated and put in the hands of local boards. Council Plans Open Hearing on City Rents The City Council will hold aI public hearing tomorrow -night to decide whether rent controls should be taken off in Ann Arbor. Last March 26 the Washtenaw County Rent Advisory Board vot- ed 5 to 3 to recommend that rent ceilings be removed. But the re- quest was turned down by Federal Housing Expediter Tighe E. Woods, who said it was "not appropriate- ly substantiated by facts." If the council votes to removej the ceilings their decision will override Woods' ruling. Georgia, a region of southern Rus- sia, was broadcast by the Voice of America. It was the first of a series of broadcasts aimed to combat Com- munist propaganda in the Geor- gian language. Ukrainian and other languages of the Soviet peoples also will be used in anti-Communist broadcasts in the State Department's, truth campaign to Russia. IAcheson said : "The Voice of America will from now on bring you in your language the truth which the Communists fear and try to keep from you. Collins days lRussia W orried Over Red Losses in Korea dI 130 Cl WASHINGTON - The Army's chief of staff, Gen. J. Lawton Col- lins, voiced belief yesterday that Russia "is beginning to get con- cerned" about increasingly heavy Chinese Communist casualties in Korea. Collins said also that a peace settlement "is always possible" on the basis of the 38th parallel-the North-South Korean boundary just milesI IN ADDITION to the 1951-52 University operating budget, the State granted the University $3,000,000 for construction, $1,500,- 000 for the Angell Hall addition, and $1,500,000 for the out-patient clinic, which is being established under University auspices. Also earmarked for the Uni- versity will be a $290,000 appro- priation for the campus Neuro- psychiatric Institute. The appro- priation stipulates that psychia- trists shall be trained for State mental institutions. Earlier last Wednesday both the House and Senate had rubber- stamped a $1,583,377 deficiency bill to make up the deficit in this year's University budget. . *. THE NEW University budget re presents an increase of $3,272,055 over last year's appropriatin of $11,572,945, This, of course, has been due to rising operating costs. At any rate, University offi- cials seem to be rather satisfied with the 1951-52 budget. They had presupposed neither an in- crease nor a decrease in the University budget once the Sen- ate Finance Committee had re- ported the bill out without amending the House's recom- mendation. Previously, University vice- president Marvin L. Niehuss had explained that the University's ability to operate on the new bud- get is largely dependent on the size of next year's enrollment. * M*' TEMPERS smoldered hot and heavy yesterday morning and af- ternoon as the State, budget bill was riddled with 274 amendments in the Senate and more than 50 in a House-Senate conference com- mittee. Frequently, Lieutenant Gover- nor Vandenberg, the presiding officeer, had to gavel senators In- to silence. A heated debate spun~ around an amendment which would provide appropriations for institutions car- ing for the blind. One senator erupted: "We're ready and willing to give $1,000,000 to Michigan State for cattle research but not $10,000 to aid the blind." . THE SUNRISE serenade, how- ever, faded away in the Capitol Bldg. with the coming of the dawn yesterday morning. And heated tempers were replaced by rising temperatures. Legislators sprawled on sofas and napped. Two senators trudged home wearily but were dragged back by State Police, Apparently, they hadn't planned to come back. Tired reporters, angered by they long delay, muttered curses. Other appropriations to State colleges and universities included: Western Michigan College, $2,131,681; Ferris Institute, $487,774; Blind School, $422,568; Deaf School ,$792,135; Michigan State College, $11,929,370. In addition, Wayne University. was granted $1,000,000 for con- struction of a medical building. Michigan State College was award- ed $1,119,100 for a veterinary sci- ence building, animal husbandry building and a seed storage build- ing.

Winding up two days of testi- mony to Senate committees' inves- I tigating Gen. Douglas MacArthur's removal, Collins refused to budge from his statement yesterday that MacArthur "violated a policy" by sending American troops close to the Manchurian border last fall. At the same time Collins reveal- ed the Army has shipped $12,500,- 000 worth of supplies to the Chi- riese Nationalists on Formosa since last November. Collins said $54,000,000 worth have gone to Indo-China since June, 1949, and an additional $2,- 000,000 worth is being prepared for shipment there. Also, Collins said, Army supplies valued at $3,000,000 have gone to the Philippines since June, 1949. WJIGWAM IFULL: Anniversary Celebrated By Miehigarnua Bucks Blind Girl in Ann Arbor, On Trip To Gain Sight By CARA CHERNIAK A small flaxen-haired child ar- rived in Ann Arbor yesterday on the last lap of her long journey to regain the eyesight which she has been lacking since birth. Eight-year-old Flora Jean Pitt- man has had a long struggle all her life. Born blind, she was aban- doned by her parents four years ago and was taken under the wing of a kindly foster-mother, Mrs. Louis McCormick of Beld- ing, Michigan. Since that time Flora Jean has visited New York with the help of the Lyra Male Chorus, which is planning a t benefit concert tomorrow night, Flora Jean hopes to fly to New York in June. In the last few months Flora 1 Jean has received 23,000 letters, and Mrs. McCormick does her best to answer them all. Contri- butions have ranged from three cents to $500, and Flora Jean saysk she appreciates every last one of them. Y, t i* By CRAWFORD YOUNG Fifty years of campus leaders passed in review here this week- end, as the noble tribe of Michi- gamua celebrated its 50th anni- versary. Of the 700 living alumni, almost half turned up for the celebra- tion. Perhaps this is significant of the loyalty the old braves retain for the University and the organi- zation. And the weekend has been a full one for those who returned to the, wigwam. Festivities began at the Tappan Oak at 2:30 p.m. Friday, as the braves came whoop- in -u of President Ruthven's back yard to transform, with the aid of some brick dust, the pale- faces quivering in front of the traditional council fire into red- vlrinv wor~thy orf initiatin linton another tribal banquet, this time at the Washtenaw Country Club. THIS ENDED the weekend for the old bucks, but for the new palefaces and the outgoing crop of braves, the climax comes to- day. The palefaces will take the braves and their squaws on the annual "peace paddle" on the wat- ers of the mighty Huron. D'uring the two wars the tribe has lived through, it has always managed to keep the embers in the wigwam alive, although mem- bership has dwindled as low as 11. The Michigan alumni have al- ways followed the famous Tappan Oak chant to "fightum like hell for Michigan and Michigamua." A few of the many illustrious members are Chester "Squaw 'F~'rn" Tncy -_headr of th. n- l i E i k Local Man, Two Others Purchase Empire State A prominent Ann Arborite was1 amonlg a three-man syndicate which purchased the controlling interest in New York city's Em- pire State Building Thursday.
