Betting odds and the- British equivalent of the Gallup Poll have favored the Conservatives,but by an ever-dwindling margin. CONSERVATIVES are assured of at least four parliamentary seats already from Northern Ireland where candidates of the Ulster Union Party (a Conservative affiliate) are unopposed. The two big rival political organizations-,makinrg every effort to get all their supporters to the polls-described the balloting for a new Parliament as one of the most fateful elections in the long " history of this island kingdom. ue es Both said they were confident of Armistice Talks Renewed Cause Shaver To Resign WASHINGTON - Charles E. Shaver, a figure in the latest furore over government loans, re- signed under fire yesterday as counsel to the Senate Small Bus- iness Committee. The development came shortly after Senate investigators de- manded - and received - permis- sion to scrutinize any RFC loan records that might involve Sha- ver or Vice-President Barkley's secretary, Mrs. Flo Bratten, in an alleged "influence" setup. Shaver has said Mrs. Bratten joined him in making a series of visits to RFC officials to urge the granting of more than a million dollars in federal loans. Both have denied any attempt to exert undue influence. At his home in Huntsville, Ala., Senator Sparkman said he had accepted Shaver's resignation "for the reason stated-that the criti- cism of his conduct may impair the work of the committee." Vice President Barkley t01d newsmen later yestrday he was reserving judgment on whether to fire or retain Mrs. Bratten. He said he wants to get all the facts, first, about her connection with a $1,100,000 RFC loan for the con- struction of a project luxury ho- tel in Miami Beach, Fla. WSB Seeks End of Strike WASHINGTON! (;)-The Wage Stabilization Board yesterday made a strong new appeal to CIO auto workers to call off a two-week old strike at 10 division's of the Borg- Warner Co. in five states. In a telegram to UAW president Walter Reuther, Wage Board Chairman Nathan P. Feinsinger revealed that President Truman has decided not to take direct ac- tion immediately in the dispute in- volving 6,500 workers. To the voters the big issue is whether wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill should pilot the nation through the shoals ahead or Prime Minister Clement Attlee should keep the helm he has held since mid-1945. BUT CHURCHILL and Attlee are running in single districts, just as are the 1,372 other candidates for the $2,800-a-year commons seats. Only Britons living in those dis- tricts may vote directly for them. The party winning a majority of the 625 seats in the House of Commons will choose the new prime minister. These are some of the prob- lems he will have to face: -Daily-Bob Vaughn DAILY TAKES TO AIR-The latest local and campus news is aired as Jerry Helman, '52, broadcasts The Daily's new midnight program, heard Monday through Friday over station WHRV.

VOTING BEGAN at 7 a.m. Ann Arbor time and will continue un- til 4 p.m. Ann Arbor time. Both Churchill and Attlee ap- peared confident. Churchill made a final call last night for a great outpouring of Conservative voters.

World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-President Tru- man yesterday canvassed pros- pects for defeating Senator Mc- Carthy (R-Wis.) whose seat will be one of the stakes in next year's elections. Jerome Fox, state Democratic chairman for Wisconsin, conferred with Mr. Truman and afterward told reporters: "The President expressed a de- sire that he would prefer not to see McCarthy returned to the Senate." HALIFAX - Eleven Czechs who escaped from their country aboard a "freedom train" and found refuge in the American Zone of Germany arrived in Canada yesterday as immi- grants.

Truinan Ends 'German' War WASHINGTON-(R)--President Truman vesterdav nrclaimed the speak on "The Citizen's Responsi- bility for Crime" at 8:30 p.m. at Hill Auditorium. * * * BEFORE THE speech he will be feted at a luncheon given by the University chapter of the Atlantic Union. He will also spend some time at a Phi Delta Theta coffee hour to be held in his honor. A veteran of more than twelve years in Congress, Sen. Kefau- ver served for ten 'years in the House before his election to the Senate in 1949. In 1946 the senator was named by Collier's Magazine Award Committee as one of the ten outstanding members of the House. The senator's recent campaign against organized 'crime exposed racketeers fro mcoast to coast and has made him a well-known and much respected member of the public service. His report on the committee's findings, "Crime in America" was published in July and was soon on the best seller list. * * * SEN. KEFAUVER h a s been known in the past for his writ- ings. He is a prolific contributor to popular magazines and one of his books, "20th Century Congress" has been adopted as a text in many universities. Recognized as a scholar also, the senator is the only non- professor to hold the position of vice-president of the Ameri- can Political Science Associa- tion. A native Tennessean, Sen. Ke- fauver began his public career as commissioner of Finance and Taxation for his home state. That position was soon relinquished for his seat in Congress. Two years before his election he had been named "Chattanooga's Man of the Year" by the Jr. Chamber of Commerce. In 1950 he was afforded another distinc- tidn. The head of a family of four young children, Sen. Kefau- ver was named "Father of the Year." Tickets for tonight's speech are stil lavailable at the Hill Audi- torium box office and will be sold until speech time. The cost is $1.50, $1.20 and 60 cents. After, Egypt Fails In Attempt To Cut Suez U.S. Plans Allied Near East Army CAIRO - () - Egypt tried to block the Suez canal to British shipping yesterday, but the Royal navy kept the waterway open to international traffic. Meanwhile, the United States declared yesterday its intention to proceed with organization of an allied military command in the strategic Middle East despite Egypt's refusal to take part. A State Department statement said the 'U. S. will go forward on this project "in collaboration" with the United Kingdom, France, Turkey, New Zealand, Australia and the Union of South Africa. 'I * * IN ANOTHER statement, also issued by press officer Michael J. McDermott, the State Department reaffirmed its support of the Bri- tish in their row with Egypt over the treaty sanctioning the pres- ence of British troops at the Suez canal. The statement came as the guns of British war ships cove- red merchantmen c l e a r i n g through the Canal against Eg- yptian orders. A British naval spokesman said the Egyptians were "trying to make things dif- ficult" by withholding clearanc- es, so the navy was issuing its own clearances. The Suez and Cairo area were quiet and the Egyptian govern- ment issued stern warnings against any new outbursts of rioting. The statment regarding the middle east command project was prompted by reports from abroad indicating some confusion over in- vitations to middle eastern states to join in the set up. McDermott said that details re- garding 'the command structure still have to be worked out - among them "the important ques- tion of the relationship between the Middle East Command and the North Atlantic Treaty organi- zation." Rain To Stay? The weatherman last night put a damper on plans for home- coming displays when he issued a long range forecast of showers on Saturday morning with tem- perature below 55.

E neiny Jets," U.S. Planes TangleAgain Delegates Meet At Panmunjom By The Associated Press Allied and Communist truce teams yesterday met for the first time in 64 days in a new effort to end. the 16-months-old Korean war. But on the fighting front swarms of increasingly bold Communist jet fighters battled a flight of U.S. Superforts and 60 Allied fighters clear across the waist of Korea to the Sea of Japan. IT WAS THE fourth straight day of Rel challenges to Allied air supremacy. The fight finally ended near the east coast port of Wonsan, 180 miles southeast of the MIG base at Antung, Manchu- ria. Never before had the MIGS pursued Allied planes to that area. At Panmunjom the truce teams gathered in a circus-type tent put up in a bean field near the tiny, mud-hut village of Panmunjom, 31 miles north- west of Seoul. The new confer- ence site lies in a no-man's- land between the opposing forces. 64 STILL OPEN-British warships convoyed international traffic through the Suez Canal (arrow) yesterday after the Egyptian government refused to issue the required canal permits. Mean- while, at Ismailia, a British road convoy was fired upon. Rebel Strkers Stal End Of Wrraterfront ,Walkout Days Stalemate NEW YORK-(M)-Rebel dock strikers refused to go along with their leaders yesterday in a plan to end the east coast's crippling waterfront strike. Rank-and-file wildcat strikers tossed a monkey wrench into the scheme to end the walkout with a new vote on a bitterly disputed contract. Instead, they stood firm in their * *-* 'Workers Plan- Nation-Wide Rail Walkout' WASHINGTON - () - The Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire- tnen and Enginemen-75,000 strong -was told by its leaders yesterday to get ready for a nation-wide strike. Preparations for a walkout were proceeding despite a strong prob- ability that the government would seek a court injunction to keep rail traffic moving during the de- fense buildup. THE RAILROADS technically have been operated' by the army since Aug. 27, 1950, when they were seized to avert a strike of trainmen and conductors. But the firemen's union, which for two years has been demanding a 40-hour week in the yards and higher pay on the road, announced that its recent strike vote had "overwhelmingly" favored a walk- out. The work week in the yards is now 47 hours and the union says pay on the road averages $1.58 an hour. In instructions from the nego- tiating committee, headed by pres- ident David B. Robertson, members were told to get ready for a "pro- gressive" strike. demand the new contract-b junked and another one negoti- ated. * * * THEIR DECISION came as the city's commerce and industry as- sociation estimated $250,000,000 worth of goods were stalled by the strike. The figure is climbing at the rate of $25,000,000 a day, the association estimated. A new appeal to President Truman to "stop the strike" was vetoed by business, shipping and civic representatives at an emer- gency meeting, John Sampson, a strike leader, made the offer to call off the strike if granted a new vote on the disputed contract. "If this is done, I will recom- mend that the men go back to work immediately," he told fed- eral mediators. It was the first back-to-work hint in the 10 day wildcat strike, that began in protest over the new contract. Sampson made his offer as the vast port of New York lay help- less in the grip of his wildcat dock hands. Albany and Boston steve- dores also were out in sympathy. A check showed 122 slaips idle, 114 of them in New York, the big- gest port in the world. Nearly half of the east coast's 65,000 AFL longshoremen were reported out. IFC Appointments The Interfraternity Council Ex- ecutive Committee last night ap- pointed three members to the IFC Coordinating Committee. Named were Bruce Sodee of Lambda Chi Alpha, '52, chairman; Cliff Mitts of Sigma Chi, '54, as- sistant chairman; and Tom Meri- cle of Phi Delta Theta, '54, assist- ant social chairman. The 10 delegates sat down UNITED NATIONS DAY: East-West Split Seen At Start of UN--Preuss around the conference table at 11 a.m. (9 p.m. Ann Arbor time). talked for 30 minutes and then recessed. At 11:55 a.m. they ad- journed for the day but snheduled a meeting of sub-committees at 2 p.m. The sub-committees were pre- pared to reopen discussions on a cease-fire line across Korea, the issue that had stalled the earlier truce talks for weeks. "Everybody was very amicable," Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, the sen- ior UN command delegate at Pan- munjom said. "We have agreed to return to agenda item number two in sub-delegation meetings." Hopes were bright that this time the negotiators would suc- ceed in halting the see-saw of two 500,000-man armies which. have fought across the length and breadth of the Korean peninsula. The delegates met yesterday un- der tightened security rules de- signed to prevent inveidents or accusations such as marred and finally broke earlier armistice talks at Red-held Kaesong, six miles west of Panmonjom. Three Named To Bias Study Group by SL The naming of the three Stu- dent Legislature representatives to the Inter Fraternity Council- sponsored committee to study the discrimination problem highlight- ed the quietest SL meeting of the year last night. Wally Pearson, chairman of the Human Relations Committee, Phil Berry, cabinet member-at-large, and Rog Wilkens, a member of the Human Relations Committee, were selected. Pearson's choice was automatic, as the IFC motion provided that the chairman of the Human Relations group would be a member, as well as two other legislators. Pearson is affiliated, while Berry and Wilkens are independent. Meanwhile, the IFC also an- nounced its delegates last night. Bill Hornett, '52, will represent a house w i t h a discriminatory clause, while Bill McIntyre, '52, and Richard Sonitz, '53, were se- lected from houses without clauses. Chairman of the committee is By ALICE BOGDONOFF "From the very start of the United Nations it became appar- ent that there would be a split between the USSR and the West,' Prof. Lawrence Preuss, of the po- litical science department stated last night. Speaking at the United Nations Day program at International Cen- ter, Preuss went on to trace the developments of the United Na- tions and the resulting conflicts between the Great Powers. ONE OF THE very first focal Acheson" Talks Oil "With Mossadegh WASHINGTON - (EP) - Secre- tary of State Acheson and Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh of Iran yesterday talked over ur- gent American suggestions for settling the Iranian-British oil points of conflicts, the internation- al law expert explained, was the controversy over the veto power. Preuss, who was present at the Dumbarton Oaks and San Francisco conferences, explain- ed the United States and Russia led the fight for a veto power of the Security Council, and even- tually forced the British and Chinese delegations to accept the veto at the initial confer- ences. "The Uniting For Peace Resolu- tion which the General Assembly passed at the outbreak of the Korean war is a constitutional milestone in the life of the UN," he said. By stating the General Assem- bly's obligation to maintain peace if the Security Council fails to do so, this resolution reveals a defi- nite shift in power to the General Assembly, Preuss pointed out. Another trend. and not so fa-' PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: City Improves Lights in Hospital Area By BARNES CONNABLE More than a month after the midnight murder of Nurse Pauline A.
