Murphy,. his re- puted choice to run an adminis- tration cleanup, but delayed any announcement of plans at least until tomorrow. Murphy himself, reached by re- porters after the unusually secret White House session, would only say that "matters of interest to the country" were discussed and that he may see the President again. * * * HE WOULD NOT say whethe he had accepted any assignmen nor whether the talk was abo corruption in government. Neith would the White House, whic x.wouldn't go beyond the "'ver; profitable" description of the mee ing. But the jurist's answers t Bde.-issue questions left open broad inferences that he is in on the planning, at least, of a house-cleaning. He said he and Charles Murphy (no relation) White House counsel, discussedi a "plan." And he said the an- swer on whether he would have to resign from the bench if he took a housecleaning job woui have to wait on any White House announcement.

New Arms Plan Rejected By Red Bloc PARIS - (A) - The Soviet- blo yesterday rejected a revised West- ern disarmament plan drawn u specially to meet some of Mos- cow's demands. The Russian bloc hinted, in- stead, it would like to see the Big Four Powers continue dis- cussing arms control in secret sessions. Polish Delegate Stefan 'Wier- blowski disclosed t h e Soviet bloc's position in a speech to the Political Committee of the UN General Assembly. He repeated Soviet demands for immediate prohibition of atomic bombs and a cut one one-third in the arms strength of the United States, France, Britain, China and Rus- sia. j U.S. Ambassador Philip C. Jes- sup, speaking for the West, made it clear the United States, Britain and France prefer to carry on negotiations on arms control in a 12-nation Disarmament Commis- "siori expected to be created by this assembly. He did not give a flat "no" to suggestions by Wierblowski and some other delegates that perhaps fthe Big Four should continue their arms talking, but said the West thinks "the new commission is the proper foriun for development of the process." Flyers on Strike At NY, Miami RELIGION SURVEY: History Evolved Lutheran Beliefs (Editor's Note: The subject of today's Religious Survey ar- ticle, Lutheranism, deals with a part of the Protestant faith which traces its origin to the beginning of the movement. Information and advice for this article was provided by the campus -Lutheran pastors.) By RON WATTS Daily Associate Editor Qdldly enough, the roots of Lutheranism do not run back to Mar- tin Luther, but are entwined in the development of historical Chris- tianity. The Lutherans have never regarded Luther as a saint, but only as a man who played an important part in God's pattern of development. When Luther nailed his 97 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg he was seriously concerned with the abuses that were pre- sent in the early 16th Century Roman Catholic Church. He did not take the scoffing approach of Erasmus in "Praise of Folly," but sought a positive solution. Luther's first efforts were toward reforming the church from within. The break with the Church of Rome came only when he found this impossible to achieve. Luther was placing the emphasis on faith. He believed the evi- dence for this new interpretation was to be found in the scripture. ESSENTIALLY THE Lutheran faith is 9, Bible centered religion. It accepts both the Old and New Testaments, believing that a unity exists between the two. It is through this written word that man comes to know Jesus Christ. During the 16th Century, a religion which stressed the written word as it appeared in the Bible was presented with many problems. Practically all existing copies of the scriptures were in Latin. There- fore one of the first jobs was to translate the testaments into the vernacular. The cost of printing a Bible was equal to the wages a man could earn in a year. To circumvent this problem Luther wrote a short tract called "The Small Catechism." It contained the ten com- mandments, the Lord's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed and other pray- ers and commentaries to be used in daily religious thought. This tract holds part of the basic dogma of the Lutheran church. Another important document in the Lutheran history is the Augs- burg Confession. It was drawn up at the request of Charles V, of the Holy Roman Empire, at that time a group of German states, who, wanted a sumnary of the Lutheran faith. The Confession set forth the points of agreement with the Roman Catholic Church, and also pointed to the abuses and to the scriptural justification for the new Lutheran stand on the issue. THE LUTHERAN CONCEPTION of God is that epressed in the Bible-that he is one in essence, yet three in person. God has manifest- ed Himself as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit'in the work of creation, reemption and sanctification. The Lutherans believe that the in- spiration of the Bible and prayer would become farcical if God were only an impersonal force, some cosmic urge, or an abstract principle. God is a person, incorporeal but nonetheless real. He can be known only from God's revelation of Himself in Jesus Christ, through the scriptures. In the eyes of the Lutheran, man is a fallen saint, not a cultured brute. Originally man was created in the image of God to live according to His law. But man, in the person of Adam, disobeyed God and there- by'became a sinner. In doing this, man brought sin and death upon himself and all his posterity. SIN IS TRANSGRESSION of the divine law, as set forth in the Bible. All men born into this world by a natural mode of generation have the taint of original sin. Original sin is not an activity, but a condition. It exists even though there is no conscious, voluntary act of the internal or external powers of the mind or body. This condition is the source of actual transgressions. The Lutherans look on the matter of the universe and the forces with which matter is endowed as products of a God's will and intelligence. The universe was not developed by the action of forces resident in matter. And in turn, man was not created as a species of animal, but in See RELIGIOUS, Page 4 UN Withdraws Demand For Red Cross Inspection Music Filled the Night ... To Be Paid By Britain Payments Also To Go to Canada LONDON-(I)-Hard-up Britain announced yesterday she will pay both interest and capital install- ments, totalling 176 million dol- lars, due Dec. 31 on her postwar loans from the United States and Canada. She might have claimed a waiv- er on the interest. Prime Minister Churchill's new government also gave the British pound sterling a small measure of freedom to demonstrate its real value in foreign money markets. Subject to some continuing limi- tations, the Bank of England auth- orized private individuals to trade British pounds for foreign money for the first time in 12 years. BOTH MOVES clearly were in- tended to restore world confidence' in Britain's wobbly economy and weakened currency and to bolster the British case for more military and economic help from the United States. A highly placed informant said the government will have to sell gold from the British- .banked sterling area's waning gold and dollar reserves to pay the United States and Canada. However, Britain has asked -for 600 million dollars in economic help alone from the U.S. Mutual Security Agency for the next six months and the United States ex- pects to be able to hand over per- haps half that. * * * A BRITISH treasury announce- ment said: "Under the revelant agreements, His Majesty's Government have the right on certain conditions to request the waiver of the interest element of these payments, but after a careful review of all the circumstances they have decided not to make such a request. 'The payments will therefore be made in full on the 31st of December next." The interest accounts' for $110,700,000 of the total. The- installments are the first of 50 which Britain is due to pay yearly until the year 2000. - The United States will get 51 million dollars on principal and 87 million in interest; Canada will get 14 million on principal and $23,700,000 in interest. The United States put out $4,- 350,000,000 and Canada $1,185,- 000,000 for Britain in 1946 when this country was reeling under economic shocks from World War II. Churchill plumped for the re- payment Dec. 31 in spite of a con- tinuing British economic crisis. .The 77-year-old Prime Minister sails for New York Dec. 29 to call on President Truman in Washing- ton. He wants both economic and military help under the mutual security program.

' Sweeps Toronto Series By ED WHIPPLE Michigan busted open a close hockey game with four goals in a dramatic fist-swinging third period to beat Toronto's Blues, 6-4, in the Coliseum last night. Coupled with Friday's 4-1 tri- umph, last nght's hard fought Maize and Blue victory gave the Wolverines a sweep of the weekend series and possession of the re- cently revived James C. Thomp- son trophy. THE WOLVERINES iced the game with three beautiful power play tallies inside of two minutes in the final stanza while Toronto was two players short and Michi- gan one as the result of five min- ute fighting penalties. Alex McClellan, Michigan de- fenseman, and Jack MacKenzie Long, Spivak Set for J-Hop The bands of Johnny Long and Charlie Spivak will provide music for the 1953 J-Hop, it was announced yesterday. Both bands were close to the top' in the poll conducted re- cently among students, says Robert Steinberg, '53, bands chairman. The dance will be held from 9:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. on February 8 and 9 at the Intra-Mural Building. The theme and fur- ther plans will be announced at a later date. set the 'stage for the rapid fire clinchers by John McKennell, John Matchefts, and Pat Cooney (his second) with a fight just inside the Michigan blue .line along the boards that held up the contest for ten. minutes. McClellan, on his way to the sin bin for his share in the fra- cus, engaged Toronto's Al Fasan in another scuffle, and from the pen- alty box all three watched the Wolverines calmly riddle goalie Jack Ross from close in. * 4 * 'THE THREE major penalties gave the Wolverines opportunity to- do what they had been threat- ening from the outset of the final period-break loose in a rash of goals. Some sharp play by Ross in the Toronto nets had limited Mich- igan scoring in the third stanza to a tenfoot shot into an open net by Jim Haas. Before Haas' tally, Toronto had twice come from behind to knot the score, after a goal by George Chin (first period) and Woman Dies After Pluntge Violet Jane Barber, 20 years old, drowned yesterday in an appar- ent suicide in the Huron River near a bridge onrGeddes Road north of Ann Arbor. Dr. Edwin C. Ganzhorn, county coroner, has not yet announced the cause of her death. However several persons claimed to have seen Miss Barber make several attempts and then finally jump from the bridge into the icy river. The sheriff's department was then called to the scene where they dragged the river in freezing winds for over two hours before she was finally discovered approx- imately one hundred yards from the bridge. Miss Barber was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norris Barber, who live ten miles southwest of Adrian. She had been employod for three years by the Farm Bu- reau in Ann -Arbor. a 30-footer by Cooney (second period).b After the quick Michigan on- slaught the near capacity crowd of 3,700 sat back to calmly wait out the end of the game,but Mich- igan goalie Willard Ikola brought them t0their feet with 30 seconds left when, lying on the ice, he stop- ped a rebound with his face and left the game with twoteeth knocked out and two others chip- Sped. DEFENSEMAN Haas took over the goal tending chores and he stopped a couple of drives without benefit of goalie equipment, but Gordon Bennettkilled a rebound past Haas with fifteen seconds to play for Toronto's last goal. Michigan scoring for the game was evenly divided, Pat Cooney bagging two goals and an assist to lead his team. Cooney's unassist- ed second goal, during the clinch- ing power play, was the result of fine stickhandling by the dark- haired sophomore left wing. He picked up the-puck near the right boards, threaded his way past two Toronto defenders, and tuck- ed the disc behind Ross, who had been faked nearly out of his pads. Matchefts tallied once, as did Haas, while McKennell and Chin each bagged a goal and an assist. Captain Earl Keyes garnered one assist. Bennett, Al Conboy, Don Rope, and Joe Kane got Toronto's goals.

Ei- senhower yesterday told European nations balking at increased mili- tary expenditures that their se- curity will cost a lot of money and they must pay their share. He made a blunt and sometimes angry speech to the 12-nation North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion (NATO) Committee of Plan- ners, which. has drafted a blue-, print for bigger arms budgets among some members to build up Epropean defenses. *5 * * HIS APPEARANCE dramatical- ly underscored the problem that arose when some nations began re- belling against boosting their mili- tary spending in the fear that it would upset civilian affairs at home. The Supreme Allied Com- mander told the NATO delegates they would have -to rush through the buildup of a force sufficient to deter Russia, and only then "can we start thinking about lightening the defense burden." MUNSAN, Korea, Sunday, Dec. 16-(1)-Allied negotiators today withdrew their demand that Inter- national Red Cross observers be allowed into Communist war pri- soner camps immediately. The Allies had been asking for the inspection as a necessary step before prisoner of war exchange could be discussed further. The subcommittee discussing the prisoner question adjourned at 1:20 p.m. after agreeing to resume discussions at 11 a.m. tomorrow (9 p.m. EST, today). * * DURING THE morning session of the subcommittee on truce sup- ervision the Allies bluntly came after the Reds rejected tentative offers designed to break the truce deadlock. Tempers appeared short at the morning session of the subcom- mittee on truce supervision at Panmunjom. A second subcom- mittee on exchange of prison- ers adjourned until tomorrow without even calling an after- noon meeting. Hsieh Fang whether he wanted to negotiate, or if he "did not have the authority to negotiate." Hsieh refused to answer, but Turner said "we await an ans- wer" in the afternoon session. Turner said the offer to with- draw from the North Korean is- lands was made in the form of a hypothetical question. The Reds rejected it. Turner also proposed that the proposed ban on a military build- up during an armistice be changd to read: "There shall be no introduction of reinforcing military forces, equipment or material." The Air Force officer said the Reds also rejected this. MEANWHILE, a falling mer- cury that plunged the Western Korean front temperatures to 12 above zero and snowfalls on the Eastern front were the most signi- ficant movements in Korea early today. Both sides tried to keep warm. The only action yesterday was Protest Notes To Blast Reds WASHINGTON - A series of sharp notes is being drafted by the United States to Russia, Ro- mania and Hungary rejecting Red charges against this country and demanding quick freedom for four American fliers imprisoned in Hungary, according to a United Press report. Three of the four notes will an- swer Communists charges that the United States is dropping spies behind the Iron Curtain on a wholesale scale. The fourth, addressed to Hun- gary, will display the President's anger. The note not only demands release of the fliers but also re- jects assertions that they were engaged in clandestine activities when their C-47 transport was forced down by Russian airmen }# }' "By carrying on. we can reach f * *) a point where it would be foolish Generaaettt " for an enemy to attack," he prom--al ised.
