Shiel, manager of Uni- versity Service Enterprises, an- nounced yesterday. The increase, which will amount to $24 a year for women and $34 ffor men, will bring the rates for double rooms in the dorms to $650 for the "fall and spring semesters of the 1952-53 school year: t BROKEN DOWN, the figures' represent a 4 per cent increase, or 10 cents a day, for women and a 511 per cent increase, or 15 cents a day, 'for men. The higher figure for men will equalize rates, Since Alice Lloyd Hall was completed in 1949 women have been paying more per year than men. Made necessary by rising costs coupled with a falling enrollment, the raise is necessary if prevailing standards in the dormitories are to be maintained, Shiel said. COSTS ROSE considerably in January when University employes were given a six per cent raise, he pointed out. And a drop in the number of residents which has im- proved housing standards has par- adoxically aggravated the situa- tion. "'Although housing conditions are now nearly normal," Shiel ex- plained, "the drop in the number1 of students has brought with itl real. problems. The decrease in numbers has not been large enough z to bring with it any significant reduction in, operating expenses, as compared to the loss of reve- nue.'" The raise could not be de-t ferred, Shiel said, without en-s dangering the financial positiont of the residence halls. Bond ob- ligations are owned on all thee big dorms, and they are operat- ing on a self-liquidating basis,f he explained. The increase is official, so far,a for only the Regular Universityc dormitories. But it is expected that Martha Cook and the Law- yer's Club will follow suit. They f usually gear their rates to thosep of the other dormitories, Shielv pointed out.n Despite the looming raise, the b University dormitory rates are still cheaper than those of most of the Big Ten schools. As the list now stands, only Michigan State, which does not provide the same, standard of service, and the Uni-; versity of Minnesota have rates; lower than the University's, ac- cording to Shiel.

The Wolverines have competedl in all five of the tournaments3 since their inception in 1948, and this is the third year they have. reached the finals. They have been successful both times so far, inY 1948 as well as 1951, and are therefore looking for their third title. s ..

Lattimore Q Uiz Seek Truman Aid WASHINGTON-W)P- Senators probing the Administration's Far Eastern policy. decided yesterday to ask President Truman for more information about an interview he had with Owen Lattimore July 10, 1945. Lattimore, a= wartime consulant t~o the State, Department, has told the Senate's Internal Security subcommittee that in effect he tried to get Mr. Truman to give American military aid to the Chinese Reds in 1945. He testified last week that in memoranda to the President he favored using any Chinese forces which would fight the Japanese and thereby diminish American casualties: in the Pacific war. A WHITE HOUSE interview followed, but Lattimore, now a professor at John Hopkins Uni- versity, said he stayed only three minutes and was given a "polite brushoff." Lattimore acknowledged that the Truman Administration's postwar China policy showed "a line of thought" similar to his own views but he repudiated any suggestion that he was respon- sible for it., Sen. Ferguson (R.-Mich.) re- turned to the subject yesterday and moved that the subcommittee ask Mlr. Truman and the State De- partment or more details about the White House visit. Ferguson aid he would like to know parti- cularly how long Lattimore spent with the President. MR. TRUMAN would not be )bliged to furnish the informa- tion unless he wished to. Today was the eleventh spent by attimore under committee cross- sxamination. Lattimore spent about two hours in the stand before chairman Mc- 'arran (D.-Nev.) adjourned the tearing indefinitely. Lattimore ras told he will be advised when ;return for further questioning. [louse Committee s ash es Budget WASHINGTON -- (A) -- The douse Appropriations Committee rterday called for a 10 per cent it in the Administration's seven- Lllion-dollar budget for indepen- lnt federal agencies in the fiscal ,ar starting July 1. Seven of the 15 men that carry the hopes for the Wolverines of holding the title were members of last year's championship aggre- gation. Five, of these are now seniors, and tonight's "big" game will be their last in Maize and Blue colors. AMONG. THESE five are cen- ters. Earl Keyes and Bob Heath- cott, defenseman Graham Cragg and forwards Paul Pelow and Ed- die May. Captain Keyes has made few headlines but was the second highest team scorer this season.

Yale will meet St. Lawrence this afternoon in the consola- tion playoffs. All' of Yale's goals came in the first six minutes of the game. The Tigers tied the Elis with the first of Leolich's pay- off tallies and then went ahead on his second score. Owen Brandt, leading Colo- rado College scorer, left the game in the second period with a neck injury after scoring Col- orado's first goal. He will prob- ably be unable to play in to- night's contest. His aggressiveness on both of- fense and defense made him valuable during Michigan power plays as an extra forward, or when the Wolverines were forced to kill a penalty disadvantage. He centers a line of Doug Mul- len (top Wolverine goal getter) and Ron Martinson, who are both first year men in collegiate hockey. He also topped the team in assists with 29. Imerit Commission, which began act AMlles Inform Reds of POW Riot onKoje MUNSAN, KOREA - Saturday, March 15-tom )-The Allies today told the Communists of Thurs- day's bloody rioting onl Koje Island. The Reds immediately branded it "a sanguinary incident" in which the prisoners were ille- gally killed. The Communists also reserved the right to speak out .later. Rear. Admh. R. E. Libby, UN command subdelegate, opened the prisoner of war exchange talks with a brief description of the riot in which 12 North Korean Com- munist war prisoners were killed and 26 others were wounded. Libby read a message from Vice Adm. C. Turiner Joy, senior Allied negotiator, to North Korean Gen. Nam Ii, chief Communist delegate. The Reds are expected to lodge Cut Leaves - Pay Boosts Unaffected, U' Pins Hopes On Final Draft By CRAWFORD YOUNQ University budgeters got a serY ous jolt yesterday, as the Senate Appropriations Committee ignored the $476,000 'U' deficiency request in reporting out a drastically slashed deficiency appropriations, bill. Gov. Williams' original $10,500-" 000 request was trimmed by more than half, as an outlay of only $4,672,347 was' proposed by the committee in the omnibus defi- ' ciency bill. THE UNIVERSITY request was, to cover a six per cent cost-of- living pay raise given to Unver-. sity emaployees last year. University Vice - President MNrvin L. Niehuss declared be was "naturally disappointed" that the request had been Ig- nored by the committee in its bill. "However, we still hope that the eut will be restored before the bill is finally passed," he added. s * s NIEHUSS declined to comment on how the University would make up the def icit if the Legislature fails to change the bill. However,. the committee recommended thati the state agencies whose requests were denied "absorb" the deficit over the next 16 months. University officials pointed out that this is easier said than done. The committee' suggested the disappointed agencies could cut personnel, not fill vacancies, or ignore step increases In the vari- ous classifications.3 * a M HOWEVER, these steps seem more applicable to the non-ed~ cational institutions affected by \ the cut than to colleges. Besides' the University, Michigan State College, the education colleges, and Michigan College of Mines were denied funds to cover sim- lar pay boosts. The final decision would be up to the Board of Regents, Nie- huss indicated. But probably no immediate action would be taken. Two things appear fairly cer- tain, though. 1) The deficit will not be made up from funds appropriated for new buildings. The State Legisla- ture specifically earmarks moneyT for capital outlays,then lumpstle' rest of the appropriation intoa general operating fund. These funds for buildings have always' been treated separately by the University, and it is highly un- likely that budget officials would - dip into these monevis now. 2) The pay scale will remain the same. There is no prospect that the University will attempt to make the saving by reneging on the pay boost. Some other state agencies wll be forced, if the Legislature passes the committee version of the bill, to lay off a number of employes." University officials declined com- ment on whether this is a possi- bility here. In the final analysis, failure to' obtain the money, although seri- ous, is not catastrophic. The deficit amounts to only about two pers 1eu oftettlbde atya. tive work yesterday to try to find a ~formula for ending the work arms race. Cohen had presented a work plan urging the 12-nation group to take as its first task the set- ting up of a system whereby all countries would reveal how many weapons -- including atomic bombs -- they have and let those figures be checked by the UN.' Malik -countered by demanding that the commission begin its work by voting for a "substantial" re- duction in the armed forces of the Big Five-Russia, China, the Unit- ed States, Britain and France- and immediate prohibition of the atomic weapon. He said that, once the commission had agreed in principle on this, there would be no trouble in getting all countries to give out the information the U.S. plan calls for. After Sir Gladwyn Jebb of Brit- ain and Jules Moch of France spoke in support of the American proposal, Malik unleashed his germ barrage in what was widely regarded here as a propaganda move to try to bury the American GOVERNMENT DISPUTE: U' Economists Discuss, FRI3,_Treasury Debate I ByHARRY LUINN GOLMA relid:ContinuedLiL debate between the "As to your suggestion of 'action Treasury Department and the under questionable advice from Federal Reserve Board over sup- counsel', and notify the 'House porting the bond market was re- Committee of her willingness to garded as somewhat inevitable last testify,' I reply that this new sug- night by two University econo- gestion is appealing in its sim- mists. plicity of being an easy way out Controversy was awakened this of a difficult situation, week in Washington when Sen. * "It reflects however a gross Paul Douglas (D.-Ill.), an Univer- misunderstanding of her rights sity of Chicago economist and and privileges . .. apparently I FRB supporter, charged Secretary failed to convince you of the fact of the Treasurer John W.
