Robert A. Taft of Ohio yesterday quit the New Jersey Republican Presidential Primary and brought im- mediate claims by his opponents that he was afraid of being licked here by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Taft's defensive move came almost simultaneously with word from Eisenhower that he may shortly 'come to press the advantage he gained in primaries in New Hampshire, where he defeated Taft in a direct test, and in Minnesota. * *. * EISENHOWER said in a statement issued at Paris that Minnesota Republicans' huge write-in vote for him was "forcing me to re- examine my personal position and past decision" not to come home " * * _ until. he has a clear-cut call to Late Events Rain brought an abrupt halt to the student rioters at 1:15 a.m. today. The following developments took place after 10 p.m.: Returning from Victor Vaughan, the crowd, now 400 strong, re-formed again on Madison between the West and South Quadrangles. A barrier of staff assistants at the doors of South Quad prevented the men from enter- ing the building. Water was hurled from the upper stories of the dorm on the surging crowd. The noisy group retali- ated by tossing mud at the windows, breaking three. Another group of 20 marched down Hill to Delta Gamma So- rority. But the police ordered the group away. The main body of the group, good-natured at first, now had become almost violent, accord- ing to police. It stormed back to Martha Cook, gained en- trance through the side door, and marched up and down the corridors raising havoc. Four doors were broken in the build- ing. Deans Healy and Bacon attempted to restore order. Retreating. from Cook, the men then stormed back to New- berry and Barbour: Many suc-. ceeded in entering the dorms. They pushed up the stairs and through the corridors, forcing their way into rooms. A few opened windows on the upper floors and shouted to their companions below. A steady rain finally quieted the crowd and put an end to more than seven hours of stor- my campusiotig. kTruman' Hits Party Head McKinney Statement On Korea Refuted KEY WEST, Fla. (M --Presi dent Truman slapped down hi own party chairman in virtuall unprecedented fashion yesterday saying the Korean war has noth ing at all to do with his decisio whether to run again. Only Wednesday, Chairma Frank I. McKinney of the Demo cratic National Committee ha told eprters hiere that in thre days of conferences he had gotte the impression from Truman thai the President may not "choose t run" if a satisfactory peace is ar- ranged in Korea. 0 * * TRUMAN WAS ASKED at hi news conference yesterday morn ing whether that statement ac- curately reflects his views. Korea enters not into the politics of, this country at all, Truman replied. And he re- peated: Korea does not enter into the politics of this country at all. It has no bearing what- ever on what he may decide to do, Truman said. This rebuff, coming less thar 10 days after Truman's defeat i the New Hampshire primary, rais- ed considerable doubt whether McKinney would be Democratic Chairman much longer. He took over last October from William M. Boyle Jr., who resigned. * ,* * McKINNEY had endorsed the New Hampshire Democratic or- ganization's request that Truman allow his name to stay on the pri- mary ballot there, after he had once said it would be withdrawn, Truman lost the popularity pri- mary to Sen. Estes Kefauver o Tennessee, and Kefauver won all the state's delegates. Truman yesterday kept alive his own possible candidacy, and said it is up to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to decide for him- self whether to return home. At his news conference, Truman was told McKinney had expressed doubt Truman would reach a de- cision on whether to run in time to announce it in his speech at a Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner in Washington a week from today. He'll make his announcement when he gets good and ready, Tru- man said, and it will be on his own time and behest. McKinneyhad also said that if Truman does not run, the Chicago nominating convention in July will be an open one, Senate OK's Japanese Pact WASHINGTON-(-P)-The Sen- ate ratified the Japanese Peace Treaty yesterday six and one-half political duty. President Truman told his news conference at Key West, Fla., that the decision is up to the general, that he can come home whenever he feels it is proper and safe for him to do so. Taft's withdrawal from the April. 15 New Jersey primary seemed to be an acknowledgement of a shift. in candidates' standing, putting Taft on the defense in the Repub- lican race. TAFT SAID in a statement is- sued through his office here he was withdrawing from the New Jersey campaign because Gov. Al- fred E. Driscoll of that state had "broken his word" to remain pub- licly neutral in, the primary and had endorsed Eisenhower. Driscoll retorted in Newark that Taft's withdrawal action-- which probably won't 'get his name off the ballot-was the "result of successive setbacks in New Hampshire and Minnesota. He called Taft's criticism of him "the-words of a poor loser." Taft said an announcement b~y Lloyd B. Marsh, Secretary of State and a Driscoll associate, that the New Jersey GOP organization would campaign for Eisenhower- created "an atmosphere in which there cannot be a fair contest" in the primary. Sen. Dirksen, Taft's Illinois manager, commented that it was "an unhappy thing" that the Ohioan felt he had to withdraw. Dirksen didn't want to speculate on the effect of Taft's action on the April 8 Illinois primary, next balloting in which voters may write in the names of their pref- erences, as they did in Minnesota. I -Daily-- Aan Reid RIOTERS ON BETSY BARBOUR LAWN HIDE FACES AT 1 A.M. Giant oad Plans Announced - -- By ZANDER HOLLANDER A whopping $7,000,000 state and federal highway by-pass program, including a trunk route to serve the University's giant new North Campus development, will be plac- ed before the City Council and the County Planning Commission tonight. The giant roads project, cul- mination of months of planning and discussion by city, state, fed- eral and University officials, has been made known by State High- way Commissioner Charles M. Ziegler. PLANS, which Ziegler empha- sized are still rough and approxi- mate, and thus might vary as much as 100 yards, involve the following.: 1-Construction of a dog-leg highway linking the north belt linenwitheWashtenaw Rd. at the point where Carpenter Rd. (US- 23) deadends. This would 'carry north-south through traffic east of Ann Arbor and would cross the river and railroad by a bridge slightly east of the site of the new Veterans Administra- tion Hospital. This trunk, serving the project- ed "research campus," will carry U.S. To Start Producing Jet More Powerful Than MIG WASHINGTON-A new F-86 Sabe jet expected to have more power than the Russian MIG-15 will start coming off the produc- tion lines next month, the United Press reported yesterday. COMMUNIST ART? Move Made To Banish Rivera Mural in Detroit - By HARRY LUNN Artists and professors were fighting mad yesterday over a resolution introduced in the De- troit Common Council demanding that Diego Rivera's murals in De- troit's Art Institute be "ripped out or painted over." Councilman Eugene I. Van Ant- werp, ex-mayor of Detroit, made the resolution after learning that an alledgedly Communistic paint- ing by Rivera was ordered removed from the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. BUT YESTERDAY Van Ant- werp told The Daily that he would be satisfied if the murals were merely withdrawn from exhibi- tion, by hanging draperies over them. "One hundred years from now when Communism is dead, they could be uncovered again," he said, "but while we have the threat of the Communist Party seeking to destroy our country, it is quite essential that public espou- sal of Communism be suppressed." "I am not enorhnof anf at he said, "I do not know how to look for this symbolism, but I do believe the mural is an antithesis of Americanism and I am opposed to it." On campus Prof. Jean P. Slusser of the fine arts depart- ment declared "reading things into other people's works is a game people like to indulge in." As an artist and teacher I canj see nothing subversive, anti-reli- gious, or anti-democratic in the Detroit mural." prof.ySlusser recalled the con- troversy which surrounded the Rivera murals when they were created in Detroit 20 years ago. A great hue and cry was raised then, and Rivera's work was ac- cused of attacking religion, called "a heartless hoax on his capitalist employer (Edsel Ford)," and la- belled by many as "bad art." PROF. CARLOS Lopez, of the architecture school and a frequent exhibitor in the Detroit museum, es "EthP nntPntcof the+s P in n Undersecretary of Air, R. L. Gilpatric said he did not know when the improved model will reach Korea. Meanwhile the Rus- sians presumably are testing a new fighter in Korea according to 're- ports from an American pilot in the combat area. a GILPATRIC disclosed that the new F-86 model will be equipped with a moer powerful jet engine, with a more powerful jet engine, will increase both its speed and al- titude, according to Gilpatric. Air Force experts rate Sabres now in combat about equal with the MIG-15, each having a cer- tain advantage at certain alti- tudes and in different perform- ance characteristics. Sabre pilots however have main- tained a superiority of approxi- mately seven to one over the MIG pilots mostly because they are bet- ter fliers. Gilpatric said that firepower, as well as speed, will be improved in the new jets. They will have guns and rockets that excell the pres- ent 50 caliber and 20 mm. guns. But it will be at least a year be- fore any of the fighters are equip- ped with guided Missiles, Gilpatric added. CLC ToaBack SAC Decree The Civil Liberties Committee last night nledged its delegate to traffic from north, south, east and west past the new site; and one University official suggested last night that it may be used as -a link in a series of routes between the present campus and the new one. 2-Construction of a new bridge over the Huron River and the New York Central Railroad east of and probably "within 100 yards". of'the present Whitmore Lake Rd. bridge. This structure, first in priority in the vast plan, willrcarry both US-23 and US-12 traffic. 3-A brand new US-23 be- tween Ann Arbor and a point north of Whitmore Lake. This will follow substantially the same route as the present highway, but will bypass the village of Whitmore Lake to the west and straighten out the present route, which will become a local service road. the south end of this new US-23 will cross the new bridge. 4-Construction of a north belt line to bypass Ann Arbor to the north by linking US-12 northeast of the city at Ford Rd. with US-12 west of the city at about Wagner Rd. This new bypass route also would use the planned new bridge to cross the Huron River and the railroad tracks. * * * 5-Extension of the Willow Run Expressway west from its present terminus at Carpenter Rd. in an arc south of Ann Arbor to link up with US-12 at a point immediate- ly west of the city limits. Surveys for this project have already been completed and most riglts-of-way have been acquired. t 6-Widening of N. Main St. (US-23) from the end of the newly-widened stretch to the new bridge.

Meanwhile, "An American in Paris', scored a stunning upset by being named the best picture of the year and winning in seven other categories. FOR THE TOP supporting per- formiances of the season, awards went to Kim Hunter for her role in "A Streetcar Named Desire," and Karl Malden for his role in the same movie. "Bogey" won his oscar for his role in "The African Queen," while Miss Leigh, the real life Mrs. Laurence Olivier; took her prize for her portrayal of a fallen Southern woman in "Streetcar." Bogart's victory was a relative surprise, because most of the pre- academy polls had forecast a walk- away for Marlon Brando. another "Streetcar" lead. It was quite afashion pageant, with the feminine part of the busi- ness vying for best-dressed honors. Diamonds, ermine, mink and black velvet set the pace. Students Storm DoHouses. Thousands Snub Police, 'U' Offidals; Chaos Worst in Recent History By BARNES CONNABLE and CAL SAMRA The shrill blare of a trumpet in the West Quadrangle set off the most chaotic riot in recent University history as thousands of studenta ran wild on campus for more than seven hours last night. While University officials and city police looked on helplessly crowds of men and women students swept in and out of dormitoris fraternities, sororities and theatres, shouting, screaming, and tussling on the first day of spring. * * * * BY 10:30 P.M. the riot had become so disturbing that it broughi President Harlan H. Hatcher to his front porch. President Hatche told the students: "All right, boys, let's go back to the dorms, nw. ' Later events showed they didn't. Ann Arbor police sent out their entire night force to follow the crowd throughout the evening, watching for property damage and violence. There were no arrests. Police explained they were awaiting University action. Officers were unable to stem the student tide., "What can eigh or 10 men do against hundreds?" one policeman muttered. . The spring-fever demonstration was the largest since May, 1950, when 2,000 students stormed a State St. cafeteria to hear the Phillips-Slosson debate. Last night's crowd was estimated at about the same number. Only other recent invasion of women's dormitories was after a Beat Army pep rally in October, 1949, when 300 students marched or Betsy Barbour and Helen Newberry residence halls and then surged on to Stockwell. LAST NIGHT'S riot started in West Quad at 6:30 p.m. where an unidentified student was practicing his trumpet. He was answered shortly by a South Quad trombonist and the two musicians engaged in a lengthy musical duel. , Shouts- of "Knock- it off!" the addition of a fog horn to the melee and a loud phonograph playing "Slaughter on Tenth Ave- nue" accompanied by two tubas prompted indignant quadders to rush out and sneer at each other across Madison St. Firecrackers popped, amidst boisterous threats and by 7:15 p.m the crowd had grown to 600 vociferous men. The arrival of police summoned by complaining neighbors, brought jeers and catcall from the swelling mob. The officers quickly retreated to their cars only to be followed by scores of students who swarmed on- the fenders and rocked the autos. "The deans will take care of them," one grim-faced officer explained. BUT THE MOB surged on through the streets, stogping traffic pounding and rocking automobiles. Gaining supporters as it moved on, it swept down State St. to Betsy Barbour and Helen Newberr3 where it heckled excited residents and broke into the lounges. The tide moved on down North University: Second stop was Stockwell Hall, where the crowd triumphantly swarmed into the lounge then moved op to Mosher-Jordan. Fourth stop was Alice Lloyd Hall, but the women were prepared and locked the front doors. Running through the side doors, the men stormed up the stairs and spread out through the top floors, har- rassing shocked residents. OTHERS RUSHED the front doors, pounded and hollered until they mysteriously opened, letting an onrush of impassioned males int the fashionable lounge. Streaming back to campus town, the insurgents spotted., aiothe prey--the League, where the Junior Girl's Play was being performed Sweating but still eager, they flowed into the League's front doo where they tried to crash the JGP. They were stopped cold by locke doors. BEFORE TREKKING BACK to the West and South Quads, the men cracked the turnstiles of a State St. theatre, took the stage be- fore a shocked audience and sang a chorus of "The Victors." It looked like it was all over-until i5 minutes later chanting - droves of women from Observatory Hill marched on the Union in a retaliation move. The sanctified Union front doors were swept open and scores of coeds ambled through the building at will. West Quad was next. The independent fortress was overrun anc reportedly several quadders, caught unawares with their shorts on were forced to scamper for safety. * A. * * ' AT SOUTH QUAD, pandemonium broke loose. While some mer -beckoned to the women, otheri formed a barrier at the front doors but the screaming coeds brok through. In a moment, the lounge was cluttered.
