MUNSAN, Korea, Friday, Jan.
11-(')-Friction over the Korean
truce hit a higher pitch yesterday,
as Communist propaganda broad-
casts emphasized a "grave crisis"
unless the Allies accept "final"
Red terms on supervising an ar-
mistice.
The Allies rejected the Com-
munist proposal because it failed
to include safeguards against in-
creasing Red air power in Korea
during an armistice.
* * *
THE UN command lashed back
with charges that the Reds were
trying "to advocate slavery" by in-
sisting on the forced repatriation
of all Allied held prisoners.
And at a later meeting at
Panmunjom, the Allied accused
Y the Communists at the dead-
locked Korean armistice talks
of making conflicting state-
ments on the crucial issue of
Red airfields.
In a short and fruitless session
Maj. Gen. Howard M. Turner de-
clared the Communists on Dec. 2
said they intended to rebuild their
airfields in North Korea but now
deny they have any such inten-
tion.
* s M
THE REDS construe the right
to rebuild military airfields dur-
ing a truce as an "internal af-
fair." The Allies want such re-
building halted during an ar-
mistice.
A correspondent of the Com-
munist New China News Agency
declared that the talks were
"facing another grave test." As
usual, the Red dispatch, broad.
cast by Peiping radio, blamed
the Americans.
The talks have been knotted for
12 straight days on the truce su-
pervision question.
However, the-issue of voluntary
repatriation remained the chief
stumbling block.
On the warfront, an Allied raid-
ing party ran into a violent fight
with a Communist force of unde-
termined size before dawn Thurs-
day on the Korean western front

Enough wreckage had been

But railroad officials said the

cause of Wednesday night's $1,-
000,000 wreck when the speeding
Wolverine collided with a moving
freight train.
M c **
LATE yesterday, trains were still
running a half hour behind sched-
ule, as two derricks halted clearage
work for the night after hauling
an observation car to Jackson. The
freight cars had already been dis-
persed to Jackson and Ann Arbor
stations, with the more severely
damaged ones stored in Dexter.
Seven Wolverine passengers
were injured and over 200 others
were badly shaken up when the
flyer sideswiped a 70 car freight
train.
Five of the injured were rushed
here to St. Joseph's Mercy Hos-
pital for treatment, and by yes-
terday all had been released ex-
cept Thomas J. May of New York
City who was hospitalized with a
broken leg and forehead lacera-
tions.
*
DURING the day all section
hands were put to work clearing
the line, as both East and West-
bound trains were diverted, by-
passing Ann Arbor.
The detour led to Detroit via a
Lansing-Ecorse run on Chesa-
peake and Ohio track and
through Lansing to Jackson. The
Ann Arbor-Detroit communter
problem was solved by a gaso-
line propelled coach ordinarily
used on the Bay City run.
The Wolverine's passengers were
taken to Ann Arbor on school
buses, where the Beelliner from
Detroit waited to take them to the
Motor City, where they boarded
other trains.

Two political scientists from the
University will fly to Manila to-
day on a special month-long mis-
sion to investigate establishment
of a public administration train-
ing center at the University of the
Philippines.
Going under the auspices of the
U. S. Mutual Security Administra-
tion, the University representatives
are James K. Pollock, chairman of
the political science department,
and John Lederle, director of the
Institute of Public Administration.
The University's role in this en-
terprise will be that of supervising
and providing some of the top
staff for the center.
Financial support for the plan,
first of its kind in Southeast Asia,
would come from the U.S. Gov-
ernment through MSA.
Professor Pollock said that the
Philippine government end its

ness to establish a center to train

Oust Jessup,
Republicans
Urge Trumanm
WASHINGTON - (A) -- Thirty-
eight Republican senators de-
manded that President Truman
recall ambassador-at-large Philip
C. Jessup on the ground that the
American people have "no confi-!
dence" in him.
Jessup, whose name figured in
t h e Communists-in-government
charges aired .by Senator McCar-
thy, (R-Wis.), is now in Paris as
the No. 1 negotiator for the U. S.
delegation to the United Nations
General Assembly.
* * *
ON THE SENATE floor, Senator
Styles Bridges (R-N.H.) charged
that President Truman in effect
committed "a violation of the con-
stitutional relations" between the
Senate and the White House by
appointing Jessup to the UN post.
Mr. Truman gave Jessup a
recess appointment last Oct. 22,
two days after Congress ad-
journed. The Senate had side-
tracked Jessup's nomination aft-
er a Senate foreign relations
subcommittee voted 3 to 2 to re-
ject it.
In announcing the appointment,
the President roundly denounced

Williams Urges Legislature
LANSING-(R)-Gov. Williams yesterday urged the 1952 State
Legislature to adopt a "build Michigan" program, expanding govern-
mental services and liberalizing social benefits to citizens.
Addressing a joint session of the House and Senate, the Demo-
cratic governor stressed need for strengthening state government to
more adequately serve the needs of its people.

presented Wednesday, for a balanced budget and enactment of
a corporation profits tax. * * *

DEBRIS FROM a million dollar
argo of mail, pig, iron, coffee and
urniture destined for New York
littered the water.
T h e 6,711-ton Isbrandsten
Line ship, listing heavily to port
since a hurricane cracked her
decks December 26, started sink-
ing about 10:18 p.m. (Ann Arbor
Time) yesterday.
Within a few minutes Carlsen
and Dancy were off. Her funnel
dipping into the whitecaps, the
Enterprise threshed crazily flat on
her side in the boiling swells. Stern
first, she finally slid out of sight
52 minutes later.
A SMALL American flag flew
from the aft section of her super-
structure as she plunged to the
bottom about 35 miles southeast
of Lizard Point, where English
Channel tides challenge the cur-
rents of the Atlantic.
Capt. Carlsen and Mate Dan-
cey, sleeping soundly on the Tug
Turmoil under sedatives after
their harrowing experience, were
scheduled to arrive at 4:30 a.m.
today at Falmouth. A hero's wel-
come was planned by towns-
people.
. But men from the Turmoil
stayed up late to tell in detail how
Dancy bravely helped Carlsen
through rough seas to rescue.
* * *
AFTER JUMPING 20 feet from
the vessel's funnel into the sea, he
put his arm around the Captain,
who didn't seem to be a particu-
larly good swimmer. The two
swam to the tugboat and rescue
together.
In Woodbridge, N. J., Mrs. Carl-
sen, a matronly-looking woman
in her 30's, was overcome by
emotion when she heard the first
bulletin of her husband's rescue
from the doomed freighter.
From the seclusion of a relative's
home, where she has been ill, Mrs.
Carlsen said "I prayed that this
would happen and the children
prayed and we knew that our
prayers would be answered."

Police put a temporary halt to

However, the students righted
themselves with the law yesterday
by paying their license fee.

Young Republicans, Michigan Sec-
retary of State Fred Alger last
night issued a sharp condemnation
of Gov. Williams lengthy state
legislature address.
Alger cited Williams speech as
a collection of "68 bewildering
propositions, none of which were
specific, most of which were hy-
pocritical and contrary to Wil-
liams' policies and theories."

came in the form of a resolution
asking the Senate as a whole to
declare that Jessup "does not com-
mand the confidence of the Amer-
ican people."

In the body of a speech list-
ing state and national issues,
Alger stated that it is important
for national defense to maintain
a high level of colleges and uni-
versities.
Relating to the University, he
hoped to see library facilities ex-
panded, the University Hospital
and natural science building im-
proved and a medical center build-
ing established.
CRITICISING both the state
and national administrations for
a disregard for moral responsi-
bility, Alger predicted that "good
clean honest government" would
be 1952's most important issue.
The Michigan officer empha-
sized that although the year
brings hope of ending political
uncertainty it could also be the
time of our biggest mistake.
He stated that "in many ways
we are already a long way down
the path that has led many great
nations to destruction."
Alger's opinion of Williams'
hour-and-a-half m e s s a g e con-
curred with that of most Republi-
can lawmakers. Leading senators
called it the "longest, most politi-
cal" address ever delivered to the
legislature by a governor.
