Terming present finances "barely adequate to meet minimum services and operating costs," the body provided three ways by which the situation could be improved. Almost $10,000 was desired from the University, as compared with $1,200 now received. * * * * FIRST, THE OFFICE of Student Affairs could raise its present annual contribution of $1200. Second, the money could be obtained through giving SL a cut of about 25 cents ii the tuition, similar to the $5 the Union ,a now receives and the $7.50 allocated to the League. Third, a 25 cent tax could be levied on students at registration time. ' The SL Finance Committee *Reveal Reds, .Fire on U.S. t Army Plane BELGRADE, Yugoslavia-( P)- A United States military plane carrying diplomatic cargo and four crewmen was fired upon by Hun- garian and Romanian border guards yesterday and is now miss- ing, the American Embassy an- nounced last night. Sketchy details from Yugoslav sources suggested the plane had been from 40 to 200 miles off its scheduled course to Belgrade from Erding air base near Munich, Ger- many. REPORTS FROM the pilot, as disclosed by the Embassy, made no mention of damage from the shooting. A day-long search was car- ried on yesterday by British, American and Italian planes along Italy's Adriatic coast from an air base at Trevisco, Italy, and will be extended into north-! ern Yugoslavia today. The Embassy said it was be- lieved the missing crewmen be-l came lost and mistook the Drava River, flowing close to the Hun- Sgarian and Romanian borders, fort theSava which marks the air cor- ridor to Belgrade. THE U.S. AIR FORCE announ- ced early yesterday that the plane, a two-engined C-47 transport, left Erding Airbase yesterday morning * with freight and supplies for the American embassy here. It had eight hours supply of gasoline and was last heard from at 10:16-Ann Arbor time-nearly eight hours after its departure. I will work out details of the plan and work out a budget including the increased money. Major overhaulings SL would be able to effect with this higher in- come would be the hiring of a permanent secretary, providing better representation of SL at stu- dent government and National Student Association conferences, underwriting ballot costs to or- ganizations whose elections SL supervises, improving the SL Bldg., and increasing the appropriations and therefore the activities of the SL committees, according to treas- urer Bob Baker, sponsor of the motion. * * -* THE MEETING featured also a blustering attack on the Union by Bob Perry, '53E, for allegedly fail- ing to live up to promises and laxity in pushing for a student book-store. "If we ever expect a book- store, it will have to be in the proposed addition to the Un- ion," Perry declared. "Yet the Union has not included a store in its present plans for the wing." Leah Marks, cabinet member- at-large, pointed out that a Re- gents' by-law provides that no op- eration under University jurisdic- tion shall compete with Ann Ar- bor merchants. But Perry retorted that the Un- ion and SL should work to. have this by-law changed, at least as far as the bookstore was con- cerned. A "promise of action by the Union by its president, Gerry+ Mehiman, was cited by Perry as an example of the Union's al- leged failure to cooperate. However, Union president John Kathe, commenting afterwards on1 the accusations, said that, "as far as he was concerned, there is no promise on the books." McCarthy, Taft, Rapped By President GOP Warned on ForeignPolicy WASHINGTON-()-Presideni Truman said in a fighting speec last night that his party will noi take "lying down" any Republicar "smear" attacks in the 1952 cam- paign. Cheered roundly by a party aud- ience at a banquet of the Nationa Democratic Women's Club, Mr Truman forecast an attempt b3 Republicans to buy the presiden- cy with excessive political expendi- tures next year. THE PRESIDENT, appearing rested after a 12-day stay at h Key West. Fla., vacation spot, thus unofficially opened the 1952 presi- dential campaign. With his listeners applauding, Mr. Truman struck out at Sena- tor Taft of Ohio, an avowed candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, and at the tactics used by Senator Mc- Carthy (R-Wis.) in supporting the successful bid of Republi- can John Marshall Butler for the senatorial seat in Maryland in 1950. The President said that those who would put foreign policy into the campaign "want to play with dynamite." * * * MR. TRUMAN did not mention Taft by name, but he said of the Ohioan's reelection last year: "We saw how the special in- terests poured money into Ohio last year to elect a Republican senator. Now, they will be think- ing that, if money can win an election in Ohio, maybe money can win a national election." In Cincinnati, Sen. Taft retort- ed last night, with "President Tru- man should certainly get the prize for political effrontery" for his Washington speech. In a statementassued at his home here, Taft asserted: "The head of an administration, which has condoned Communism, immorality and corruption and does not even bother to deny the proven charges, talks of the great moral position ofahis administra- tion in the world. "He talks of a bipartisan foreign policy, although he was the man who plunged the country into the Korean war without consulting either Republicans or Congress." Egyptians Hail Cairo Arrival Of Mossadeg~h CAIRO-(P)-Two British-hat- ing premiers of the Middle East- Mohammed Mossadegh of Iran and Mustapha Nahas Pasha of Egypt- embraced and kissed in a dramatic show of Moslem solidarity yester- day. Tens of thousands of- Egyptians lionized the feeble Iranian prem- ier, who arrived from Washing- ton from a four-day state visit. They cheered him frantically at the airport, as he drove along the streets to the famous Shepherds Hotel and as he paid his respects to King Farouk. Crowds outside his hotel hailed him as an "enemy of the British" and a "hero of revolution." They shouted "revolution" and "we want arms" as the Egyptian premier drove away after a 50-minute call on the Iranian. Police declared a state of emer- gency and stationed reserves throughout the city to preserve order during the visit of Mossa- degh, who is returning home from a 40-day stay in the United States. Mossadegh has nationalized the British oil interests in his country and thrown out their technicians. Nahas Pasha is trying to push the British out of the Suez Canal Zone and Sudan. What they talked about was not disclosed.

Warren Speech Slated For Campus Gov. Earl Warren, of California, who recently tossed his hat into the ring for the Republican presi- dential nomination, will visit the campus sometime in February or March, Dave Cargo, '52, president of the Young Republicans, an- nounced yesterday. Cargo said that Warren is com- ing at the invitation of Republi- can National Committeeman Ar- thur E. Summerfield, of Flirt. President Harlan H. Hatcher is expected to officially invite the governor on behalf of the Univer- sity when permission to use Uni- versity facilities for Warren's speech has been obtained. Warren's invitation will depend on the interpretation of a Regents' ruling which says a political speak- er may not use University prop- erty to further his own interests. The YR had also planned to present a speech by Senator Rob- ert A. Taft, of Ohio, who is also vying for the GOP presidential nomination, but difficulties in working out arrangements have led the group to drop the plans, Cargo said. Union Opera Appointments Announced for 1952 Show Bad Shot WATERTOWN, N.Y. - (P) - Bean shooters are against the law in Watertown if used to "al. .oy people." The ban against the "wea- pons" was incorporated into city law by the common coun- ci Sunday night on recom- mendation of the police de- ahelotal ordinance previous- ly had proL bited sling shots, air rifles, snowballs and rocks "when used to annoy people." A trocities Estimated at 6,000_Men TOKYO - )- General Head- quarters said yesterday there was considerable evidence" that ap- proximately 6,000 U.S. soldiers cap- tured by the Communists were victims of "death by atrocity." The statement from Gen. Mat- thew B. Ridgway's headquarters emphasized, however, that "there is no conclusive proof as to the number of dead" among the 10,836 Americans still carried as missing. THE ESTIMATE was 500 higher than that made last week by Col. James M. Hanley, chief of the U.S. Eighth Army's war crimes section. Both the Chinese Communist and the North Korean radios hotly denied Hanley's charge. The Communists in turn accused the United Nations command of killing or starving to death 17,000 Red prisoners. Hanley apparently anticipated this. His report declared that all Red prisoners were well cared for in accordance with the Geneva convention governing treatment of prisoners of war. * * * WHILE public information offi- cers would not comment, the latest statement from the headquarters of the supreme UN commanders apparently was issued at the prompting of the Pentagon. The defense department asked for clarification of a statement issued by Ridgway over the week- end whichbacked up Hanley's re- port of atrocities but gave no figures. The latest statement said the total number of known U.S. dead as a result of Red atrocities was 365. Of this number, 254 victims were identified and relatives were notified they were killed in action. World News Roundup By The Associated Press LONDON-Prime Minister Chur- chill refused last night to promise left-wing Laborites that he would ask President Truman to consult Britain before any atomic weapons might be used in Korea. * * * PARIS-The French National Assembly voted its confidence in Premier Rene Pleven's govern- ment last night on the issue of limited austerity for defense, 246 to 228. * * * CHICAGO- Sen. Blair Moody (D-Mich.), the head of the Sen- ate Small Business subcommittee investigating "gray market" steel operations, said yesterday that prices in steel have been marked up as much as 300 per cent in passing through a "daisy chain"! of middlemen. The creaky machinery which grinds out annual Union Operas got rolling last night with the naming of the men who will mas-I termind the 1952 production. The "Brain Trust," who will aid General Manager Jim Yobst, '52, in producing the all-male show, was approved last week by the Union's Board of Directors. The "Trusters" are John Fel- ton, Grad., music; Herb Harring- ton, '53, production; Pat Heck, '52, general secretary; Mark Sand- French May Need Help fromU.S. WASHINGTON-France's eco- nomic crisis has deepened to such a point, American officials said last night, that the United States shortly may have to make an emergency allocation of financial aid. Estimates of the amount the French will need were described as ranging from $200,000,000 to $400,000,000 over the next eight months. ground, '52, promotions and Mike Scherer, '54, program. AFTER A hurried huddle with his newly acquired accomplices, Yobst muttered moodily, "Words like 'tremendous, colossal and magnificent' just won't be able to do this Opera justice." Yobst declined to reveal which script had walked off with the $100 prize in the Opera script- writing contest. "We're saving that news until the campus has recovered from the shock of Opera-time coming around again," he chortled. BUT YOBST and Co.,did reveal some tentative plans for the some- times corny, sometimes clever, al- ways bawdy musical comedy. Never a shoestring operation, the Opera will run up a bill of nearly $10,000 in its three days of local shows, and four road per- formances. With the graduation of some top stars of recent Operas, Yobst pointed out, there will be great opportunities for would-be chor- ines at audition time. Fundamental, Differences Seen in Plan Allies Still See Hope for Peace MUNSAN - (P) - Communist truce negotiators at Panmunjom today presented their own cease- fire plan for a Korean armistice within 30 days. An official United Nations com- mand spokesman said that, al- though on the surface the Red plan appeared similar to the Allied proposal of last week,, "there are unmistakable traces of fundament- al differences." The Allied and Red negotiators met for two. hours today. They scheduled another meeting for 9 p.m. today. s * * MAJ. GEN. Henry I. Hodes, senior UN Command subcommit- teeman, told newsmen: "We are going back and see what changes we have to make in this Communist proposal to bring it into line with ours." Hodes said the Red proposal did not look "as close to ours as we had expected." His reaction seemed to indicate a possible compromise somewhere between the Red and Allied pro- posals. The Reds submitted their plan after a two-day recess which they had requested Monday in order to give the UN plan "more mature consideration." BRIG. GEN. William P. Nuc- kols, official Allied spokesman, said that after Reds submitted their proposal, "the remainder of the session was spent in rather fruitless effort on the part of the UN command to obtain clarifica- tion on the rather ambiguous and vague phraseology. "Thus far we have been unable to get specific answers to spe- cific questions," Nuckols said. The Allies questioned the word- ing of the first point of the Red plan. It mentioned withdrawal of troops two kilometers on each side of the cease-fire line to be decided. IN ESSENCE, the Allied truce formula called for: 1. Hostilities until the full armistice is signed. 2. The present battle line as basis for a provisional buffer zone. 3. The provisional buffer zone to be- come permanent if full agreement is reached on other armistice is- sues within 30 days. 4. A new pro- visional line if the 30-day deadline is not met. Reporting for the Communist side, Alan Winnington, London Daily Worker Correspondent, said the Korean and Chinese Red delegation told the Ameri- can truce team Monday: "If both sides make an effort, full armistice agreement could be concluded within 30 days of the settlement of item two (buffer zone) of the agenda." Meanwhile fighting continued as South Korean infantrymen smash- ed Chinese Reds off three more commanding heights on the upper Pukhan River front yesterday against fading Communist resist- ance. Friend Says 'Ike' May Run PARIS-(P)--A personal friend of Gen. Dwight J. Eisenhower Despite a conspiracy of the ele- ments which forced cancellation of last week's pep rally, the un- daunted Wolverine Club and SL have scheduled another pre-game get-together for Friday night. Working on a "delayed action" basis, the program from last week has been kept intact with an im- portant addition. Governor G. Hunting Toll Rises to Nine The count of Michigan hunters killed by gunfire mounted to nine yesterday in the state's six-day- old deer hunting season. In addition, 11 men have been stricken by fatal heart attacks while hunting, and another five werevictims of drowning, carbon monoxide or pneumonia. At least 35 were wounded in accidental shootings. MennenWilliams willhbe on tap as the key speaker of the evening. J. Fred Lawton, co-author of the University's well-known fight song "Varsity," will also address the rally crowd. Scheduled to ap- pear several times previously, Lawton was forced to postpone his appearance, first because of ill health and second in deference to the weather. The rally will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Union with a torchlight parade led by the Michigan Mar- ching Band. The gathered crowd will then wend its way to Ferry Field where the rally will take place. A comic team will be on the docket as masters of ceremonies for the evening. Composed of Lar- ry Pike, '54, Bob Pike and Bert Fink of Detroit, the team has promised to do something novel in the way of emceeing plus an "orig- inal" skit on football. President of the Union John Kathe, '52P will be another featur- ed speaker of the evening and will BOWL GAMES END POSSIBLE: College Athletics Hit from All Sides -- r.-- By The Associated Press College athletic programs re- ceived criticism directed from all sides yesterday as meetings of the NCAA and of college presidents produced recommendations de- signed to offset the recent scan- dals in amateur sports circles.
