CL COK's Amendment SberIp Issue By VIRGINIA VOSS In spite of parliamentary red- tape, the Civil Liberties Committee last night passed an amendment which in principle bars any sup- porter of totalitarian organiza- tions from its membership. Nearly 60 voting members ap- proved the amendment by a close revote in a meeting packed with campus observers. THE GROUP'S decision clears the way for Prof. Kenneth Bould- ing of the economics department to remain as faculty adviser. Prof. Boulding said Monday he would resign unless the Committee added Six from U.S. Vie for Nobel Peace Prize OSLO, Norway-(P)-A half doz- en Americans are among 27 indi- vidual candidates for the 1952 No- bel Peace Prize announced yester- day by the Norwegian Nobel Com- mittee. Four institutions-one of them American-also were named. The American candidates for the prize of 171,135 Swedish kroner ($33,000) and the prestige that goes with it are the American So- ciety of International Law and the f following individuals: Guiseppe A. Borgese, Sicilian- born Chicago University profes- sor and expert on international law and world literature; Frank Buchman, Pennsylvania - born founder of the International Moral Rearmament Movement; and Ewing Cockrell, former Warrensburg, Mo., circuit judge who has campaigned for inter- national police force under the United Nations. 4 The list continues with Raphael Lemkin, Polish-born international law professor at Yale University and veteran of the underground fight against the Nazi invaders of Warsaw; James Thomson Shot- well, Canadian-born historian and former president of the Carnegie endowment for International Peace; and Clarence Streit, Mis- souri-born editor, author and fom- er foreign correspondent. Morris To Hit McGrath First WASHINGTON -(p)- Federal anti-corruption sleuth Newbold Morris said yesterday that when he sends out income question- naires to 25.000 top-bracket gov- ernment officials, Attorney Gen- eral McGrath will get question- naire "number 1." The towering New Yorker, se- a definite statement of principle to its constitution. Earlier in the meeting Boulding urged the group to make its own decisions iegardless of his views. The five-paragraph amend- ment, included as a separate ar- ticle in the constitution, states that the "CLC membership "is properly subject to the test of consistency in the defense of civil liberties." It further states: "The CLC therefore holds it inappropriate for any person to be a member of this organization who is a member of any organization which sup- ports totalitarian aspects of any country, or who by his public de- clarations indicates his support of such a principle...." Opponents of the amendment argued that it was "put up as a stick which will not be used." *s . * TO PUT TEETH in CLC policy, one member suggested a bylaw which would censure a member for overt action inconsistent with the group's principles. The bylaw as a substitute for the amendment was defeated in a "second" meeting reconvened after a moment's ad- journment. This was necessary because the CLC constitution provides that amendments shall be pre- sented in a meeting priorrto their being voted on. Robert's Rules of Order upholds the mo- mentary adjournment escape. The proposed by-law can be ap- proved as an addition to the ap- proved amendment in the CLC meeting Tuesday. All Petitions Due All petitions for all offices in the coming University elections are due at 5:30 p.m. today at the SL Bldg., 122 S. Forest, according to Mike McNerney, '53. Sponsorship Of Speech 'Mysterious' House Red Probe Committee Hit By BARNES CONNABLE Blasting the House Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee as "an arm of the millionaire forces of Wall Street," Arthur McPhaul, banned Monday from speaking on campus by the University, put in a colorful appearance at a private Union dinner last night under my- sterious sponsorship. * * * "THE COMMITTEE is smearing union and educational leaders to help secure the grip of America's 60 families on our national econo- my and government," he charged. "They are trying to break the backbone of the labor movement and indoctrinate the leaders of to- morrow." The outspoken Detroiter said the Committee will continue on its return next Monday "to pro- race riots" in the Motor City and "throw innocent wit- nesses out of jobs and security." "Don't be surprised if they come out here," he warned. "If they do, by the time they're through, a number of progressive-minded people will be 'Reds'." MEANWHILE, Arthur L. Bran- don, director of University rela- tions, said the University may "ask for an investigation to determine whether any regulation" was vio- lated by McPhaul's appearance. Union officials denied any knowledge of the natue of the dinner, which was booked under the name of "Henry Gerard" Lindley M. Den, Union assist ant house manager, reported 'he had reseved space by phone for "Gerard," who left a Detroit number. A check revealed that one Henry . Gerard in Detroit was listed under another number. He de- nied to The Daily that he had made arrangements for the dinner. A woman answering the Detroit number left at the Union by "Ger- ard" said no such person was at that residence. * s . ONLY 30 PEOPLE attended the dinner, which was held in a room adjacent to the Union's main din- ing room. All said they had no knowledge of how the affair was arranged. Officials of the Young Pro- gressives, reported as sponsoring the talk in yesterday's Daily, quickly denied any direct con- nection. McPhaul was introduced to the group by Myron Sharpe, Grad., who also collected money for the dinner bill from those who at- tended. Sharpe said later he was asked to make the introduction only shortly before the dinner and knew nothing about "Gerard" and the booking. At the beginning of his speech, McPhaul said he was informed that "for all practical purposes, this is off-campus." He said he did not wish to "deny the authori- ties, although I think the ban was unjustified." Truman Toll IC Aid G? Reds Reveal New Budget; HighestYet Billions Set Aside For Military Use MOSCOW --(P)- The Soviet government last night unveiled a budget proposing 113,800,000,000 rubles for military purposes in 1952. This figure-$28,450,000,000 at the Russian-fixed rate of 25 cents for:the ruble-is the.USSR's high- est since World War II. Finance minister A. G. Zverev presented the budget to a joint session of the Supreme Soviet, the Russian parliament, for approval. He said it estimates total revenue for the year at 508,800,000,000 rubles and expenditures at 476,- 900,000,000. A * * THE GOVERNMENT took in 468 billion rubles last year, Zverev said, and spent 441,300,000,00. Last year's military expenditures were listed at 96,335,000,000. This dispatch, which passed through Soviet censorship, did not mention intricacies of Rus- sian finance which have led to Western charges that the Soviet budget figures do not tell the whole story about the buildup of the Soviet military machine. A U.S. navy commander, Wil- liam T. Greenhalgh, reported in an analysis of Russian military expenditures in 1950 that the Kremlin's figures are misleading. He said Russia budgeted atomic research under an education head- ing, aircraft under industrial pro- duction and other military work under various headings of civilian construction. He estimated the Russians then were spending the equivalent of slightly more than 45 billion dollars yearly on their armed forces. On the face of the figures, the United States defense bill would be almost twice that of Russia's. But the ruble is not an accurate standard of measurement of the Soviet military establishment in comparison with United States money. Pinay Named as French Premier PARIS--P)-Antoine Pinay was confirmed by the National Assem- bly as French Premier yesterday through a dramatic split in the usually solid opposition of De Gaullists to anyone but their own leader. Emphasizes Red Threat, Not Election Fund Request Hit By Legislators WASHINGTON- )---President Truman appealed to the nation last night to support his foreign aid program against an election year economy drive, saying "We'd be better off to win the fight against Communism than to win any particular election." Earlier in the day, the President formally asked Congress to vote $7,900,000,000 in new foreign aid funds. He said every penny of that is needed to meet a Russian threat against the "survival of civilization." Ir that message, Truman said a policy of "retreat"-of concen- trating on defending the Western hemisphere and on building up sea and air power - would raise an eventual threat of "bloody battle on our own shores." While he mentioned no names in either the message or his speech, this was obviously a reference to the policy advocated by former President Herbert Hoover. MANY legislators of both parties immediately called for its rang- ing up to one-half the total. Chair- man Richards (D-S.C.) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said the Administration would be "doing pretty darn well" to escape with a billion dollar cut. .Asks N ition Program -Daily-John Campbell HAT DANCE-Five members of the 1951 Junior Girls Play tell the plight of foot-sore hat shop clerks in an act from the Pint Size Revue given last night at Hill Auditorium as a kick-off to the March 10 to 21 blood drive. er* * * * * * r PitSz eveSakBodDie By MARGE SHEPHERD 1 A series of spectacular surprise acts greeted the audience viewing the Pint Size Revue blood drive show at Hill Auditorium last night. In fact Emcee Steve Filipiak, general manager of station WHRV, gave his all to the pro- gram-including a pint of his own blood. In an on-stage demonstration, Filipiak proved just how simple it is. During the showing of a Red Cross film, he gave his first pint of blood and was back at the micro- phone 15 minutes later. Truce Talks Still Stalled On Prisoners MUNSAN, Korea, Friday, March 7-(P)-Allied and Red truce ne- gotiators repeated an old refrain of "no progress" on prisoner ex- change today and adjourned tran- quilly but unbudged. Rear Adm. R. E. Libby, chief Al- lied negotiator on the prisoner is- sue, stressed again that voluntary repatriation is a minum position "beyond which we will not go." North Korean Gen. Lee Chang Cho replied that the Allied posi- tion "is a principle which we ab- solutely cannot accept." The meeting adjourned after 581 minutes until 11 a.ni. tomorrow (9 p.m., today Ann Arbor time.) A Communist proposal yester- day that neutral truce observers, including Russia, be permitted to inspect secret military equipment wound the talks a notch tighter. Meanwhile, Sabre jets patrolling MIG Alley over Northwest Korea shot down one Communist MIG and damaged another yesterday while small but fierce ground clashes erupted on the central and eastern battle fronts. Gas, Oil Battle SenttoWSB WASHINGTON - (P) - Presi- dent Truman sent the nation-wide oil and gas wage dispute to the Wage Stabilization Board last night in an effort to head off a "When the nurse told me it was all over, I didn't really believe her, it's that easy-.and painless," Filipiak said. S* * * SPECIALTY performer in the talent program was former Uni- versity President Alexander G. Ruthven who appeared in a rock- ing chair and settled back to "en- joy his retirement." In support of the drive, he said, "Michigan has had many championships, let's make this campaign another." Lansing Officers Support Red Ban LANSING- (R) -Top State law enforcement, officers joined today in supporting a bill to outlaw the Communist party and to require Communists to register with State Police. Attorney General Frank G. Mil- lard and State Police Commis- sioner Donald S. Leonard said at a Senate Judiciary committee hearing that the measure would give them the weapon they need to cope with subversive activities. The bands of Bob Elliott and Bob Leopold appeared between acts in a jazz battle which raged during the show and kept on for half an hour after. A "Michigan Beat Texas" cheer, led by the Fiji marching band of Phi Gamma Delta, Eugene Wax- man and two Michigan cheerlead- ers gave the program a peppy opening. FIVE MEMBERS of the 1951 Ju- nior Girls Play appeared in a hat dance from the show, followed by the Jerry Strauch trio /playinig a George Shearing medley. Bob Elliott's band and the members of the Hawaiian club collaborated in an unusual treatment of the "Hawaiian War Chant," with a hula by Kiyo Taira, Grad. Others featured in the show were tap-dancers Patricia Skinner, '52, and Phoebe McLean, '54, Marilyn Begole, Grad., with a bal- let dance,.and Ann Letsis, singing "Black Smith Blues." More than 700 blood donation pledges for the Beat Texas U cam- paign have been received so far. SEEK SPORTS VOICE: Regents' OK Required For W~omen on Bhoard Truman, in an address broad- cast and televised from the White House last night, in effect accused those who advocate re- ductions in the program of put- ting political moves above con- cern for the welfare of the na- tion and the free world. He said they are really helping Com- munism, no matter how much they denounce it. "It is awfully easy to 'dema- gogue' in favor of economy and against what is scornfully referred to as 'foreign aid,"' he said. "Con- gressional action on our Mutual Security Program will be a real test of statesmanship. "IF THE CONGRESS meets this test, it is in our power to leave our children the most priceless legacy of all-a peaceful world and a bet- ter life. History has given us this responsibility and this opportuni- What Congress does with his re- quest, the President .said, "has a great deal to do with our chances of avoiding another world war." And he told his nation-wide aud- ience: "It may make the difference between life and death for many of you who are listening to me tonight." He said the $7,900,000,000 figure was not "just taken out of the air," but was arrived at after months of study as the exact amount which national security requires. Limits aon Auto Output.Eased WASHINGTON-(RP)-The Gov- ernment eased slightly yesterday its curbs on auto production and on construction, but Price Director Ellis Arnall told Congress that "this is no time to start demobili- zation." Arnall, the former Governor of Georgia who took over as head of the Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) two weeks ago, predicted +n t.Qi not Tanking Committee FIVE BANNED IN 17 YEARS: SLecture Commiittee History Reviewed By VIRGINIA VOSS ! The much-publicized job of re- viewing petitions for all speakers on campus has been with the Uni- versity Lecture Committee since 1935, but until it first banned a speaker five years ago it lived an unheralded existence. * * * IN ITS 17 YEAR history; the Lecture Committee has refused five speakers-all avowed Com- munists - permission to speak. Three of the denials have resulted in spectacular off-campus rallies. Policy-wise, the recent tempo- rary banning of Abner Green and Arthur McPhaul is the clos- est the Lecture Committee has come to denying speaking per- mission to anyone not an onen- 4 of the Committee indicated ad- ministrative confusion over who should have jurisdiction in review- ing speakers. In March of 1935 a University Committee on Lecture Policy banned British Communist Johnj Strachey on the grounds that the officially recognized Nation- al Student League was not suf- ficiently responsible to sponsor lectures in University buildings. The enraged NSL retorted with the claim that University vice- president Shirley W. Smith had previously approved the speech. * * * AS ANTI-COMMUNIST bills moved forward in the state legis- Inirf- PraPCiapnA+ l arn dpunth_ ings to approve speakers. The debate again moved off campus. For ten years following the Re- gents move to abolish jurisdiction- al confusion with the new Lecture Committee, the Committee worked silently. IN DECEMBER of 1947, the Michigan Youth for Democratic Action was prevented from hear- ing Communists Gerhard Eisler and Carl Marzani. The decision touched off the most spectacular of off-campus appearances. Nearly 2,500 disor- derly students armed with snow- balls stormed Felch Park where Eisler was scheduled to speak. Evading the mob, Eisler later By HARLAND BRITZ The Student Legislature has emerged as a new champion of women's rights on the campus. " But the road to female repre- sentation on the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics will not be as smooth as was the pas- sage of the SL motion Wednesday night. A major change in the By-Laws of the Board of Regents stands in their way and beyond that impos- ing barrier stands a sure cold- blast from many current athletic board members. A. * * THE NEW provisions approved by SL are these: 1. All women students shall vote for board members. 2. Women students that satis- fy the other requirements are eligible to serve on the board. 3. Any student can run who has two consecutive years of residence , . -- 41 - . .....1. nate two candidates. Only sopho- mores are allowed to run and va- cancies are filled by the Board. The new plan got stront sup- port from Student Legislator Valerie Co en, '54, who has also flaunted the women's banner on the Union front door policy. Miss Cowen believes that since women, as well as men, pay a part of their tuition to the intercol- legiate athletics department, and because they aredvery interested in the University's athletic for- tunes, they should be allowed equal board status with the males. AT PRESENT, about seven dol-; lars per year is turned over to the intercollegiate athletic depart- ment from every- student's tuition. The sum total of these funds, how- ever, is relatively small, compar- ed to the department's overall budget. n" .-. n ho zirlpof fl a . ra
