LXII, No. 122 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1952 SIX PGS m SIX PAGES Progress In } NATO Seen By Ike' Aide. Calls on Europe To Defend Self WASHINGTON - W) - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was quoted by his top aide yesterday as saying the defense of Western Europe .must come basically from with- in" the nations of Europe them- selves. "I am happy to report this ef- fort is now being made in good measure," said Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, Eisenhower's Chief of Staff in Europe. Gruenther testified at a closed session of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee. His prepared statement later was made public. THERE WA4 reported to have k been no discussion of politics at ' the session, although Gruenther's indication of good progress in buildup of Europe's defense forces could mean that Eisenhower con- siders his task there to be about completed. When reporters sought to get from Gruenther some estimate of when his boss, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) commander, might feel free to return to the United States, he ,j replied: "The boss told pe several R months kgo I'd be of very much more value to him if I stayed out of political matters." Eisenhower said last week he' was being forced to re-examine his personal position by the results of primaries which show that many Republicans 'vant him to be their party's presidential nominee. * * * MEANWHILE, Rep. McCormack of Massachusetts, the House Dem- ocratic leader, said Eisenhower "should at once relieve himself of his command and be a candidate for President, instead of being both a candidate and the Supreme Commander of NATO at the same time." "Frankly, I am surprised that Genf Eisenhower permits him. self to occupy this dual posI. tion," McCormack said in a statement. Eisenhower-for-President head- quarters replied that McCormick's statement is a tipoff that the Democrats regard the general as "the No. 1 threat to their hopes for 1952." Speaker's Ban Rally Planned Under sponsorship of five cam- pus political clubs, a rally urging an affirmative vote on the anti- speaker ban referendum April 1 and 2 will be held on election eve in the League Ballroom. Two students and two faculty members are scheduled to speak ' against the existence of a Lecture. Committee on campus. They are Ted Friedman, '53, president of Students for Democratic Action; Young Progressives president Marge Buckley, '54; Prof. Hay- ward Keniston of the romance languages department; and Prof. T Marvin Felheim of the English de- partment. Announcing the rally, Chairman Floyd Thomas, '52, explained that it was not only for people who de- cidedly oppose the speaker ban. Political groups sponsoring the rally are Young Republicans, ,-! Young Democrats, Young Progres- sives, Civil Liberties Committee and Students for Democratic Ac- tion. Dormitories Plan To Reimburse 'U' Leaders Will Ask Residence Halls To Pay for Thursday's Damages By SID KLAUS Student leaders of the Residence Halls decided yesterday to ask the dormitory councils to pay for damage suffered by the University during Thursday night's demonstration. The plan, approved -at a meeting of the presidents of all the women's residences and the executive committees of the three men's quadrangles will have to be accepted by the individual houses before actual payment can be made. THE TOTAL DAMAGE to t according to Leonard Schaadt, B PROF. R. MORRISON 4 * ,Morrison Dies A fter Long .illness Prof. Roger L. Morrison, of high- way engineering and highway transport, and curator of the Transportation Library, died Sun- day night at his Ann Arbor resi- dence after a long illness. Associated with the University since 1924, he joined the faculty as an associate professor of highway engineering. He was appointed full professor in 1928 and curator in 1946. While on the University facul- ty, he served as a member of the Ann Arbor Common Council for two years. Before coming to the University, Prof. Morrison taught at the Uni- versity of Tennessee and the Arch- itectural and Mechanical College of Texas and served as engineer of tests for several corporations. Prof. Morrison had been on sick leave from the University for the 1951-52 year. He is survived by his wife and a daughter. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. the University amounted to $180, usiness Manager of the -residence O halls. This figure includes $130 damage at the Martha Cook Bldg. Of the $180 damage, $106 was for glass, $37 for screens, $35 f or an ash stand, and two dollars for a door handle. Janitorial service was not included in the figure. (It was reported that the Univer- sity does not carry insurance to cover damage incurred during riots.) Schaadt said he was very pleased with the "wonderful but somewhat unexpected offer. "I have always, believed the stu- dent body at Michigan willing to shoulder its share of responsibil- ity and I think this plan proves it. It certainly is a compliment to the students." THE DORM LEADERS will pre- sent the plan to the individual houses fordapproval during the next few days, and then meet again Friday to decide upon the percentage of the $180 dollars to be paid by each body. The money will probably come from the treasuries of the Wom- en's individual houses and the men's quadrangles. The possibility of paying for damage to fraternity and sorority houses and for loss to individuals will also be discussed with the house groups during the week. (Delta Gamma sororityhreported that it suffered almost $40 dam- age Thursday.) THE PLAN to reimburse the University for damage was formu- lated Sunday at a meeting called by the executive committee of the Student Legislature and attended by the dorm chiefs and other cam- pus leaders. The following statement was Is- sued by the dorm leaders yester- day: "A special committee consisting of the women's residence halls presidents and the executive com- mittees of the three men's resi- dence halls goes on record as con- demning the destructive elements involved in the Thursday evening student demonstration and is now working towards making financial restitution for the University dam- age incurred." Wilson Hits U.S. Steel WagePlan Talks End With New Proposals WASHINGTON -()- Charles E. Wilson said last night there is no question but that government recommendations for settling the steel wage dispute, if put into ef- fect, would threaten the economic stabilization program. "Of that I am sure," he said. .* *, * WILSON, the mobilization di- rector, talked with newsmen on his return from talks with President Truman at Key West, Fla., where he had said he had a plan which would avoid the steel shutdown now threatened for next month. Wilson said he planned to ar- range conferences as soon as possible with leaders of the steel industry and the CIO Steelwork- ers Union. Interviewed at National Airport, Wilson was asked if he thought the proposals for settling the dis- pute which the Wage Stabilization Board made last week broke through the formula for wage in- crease. "I wont comment on the-formu- la," he said, "but I'll say this: * * "THERE IS no question in my mind but that if the wage in- creases contemplated under the WSB's recommendations are put into effect, it would be a serious threat in our year-old effort to stabilize the economy." The wage board had recom- mended that the steelworkers be given a three-installment wage boost of 17 cents, plus other benefits which it said would amount to the equivalent of 5 cents an hour. Average wages now are just under $2 an hour. Wilson said he had a "whole series of plans," apparently just discussed with Truman in Key West, to meet "various eventuali- ties" in the situation. AIM Chooses Gene Mossner As President By MIKE WOLFF The slowly reorganizing Associa- tion of Independent Men barely achieved a quorum last night at their meeting in the Union to unanimously elect Gene Mossner, '52, president and Bert Braun, '54, vice-president. The representatives of the ten independent houses present also elected Al Green, '53, recording secretary, Dick Wolf correspond- ing secretary and Bob Tarkington, '53E, treasurer. * * * THE NOMINATIONS were held up for nearly 40 minutes by n hectic discussion carried on above the blare of the Union Opera re- he rsal of AIM's strength and pur- pose-a question that has been tossed about for more than five weeks. Some of the members present argued that the elections and any discussion of future plans should be delayed until the pro- posals of the quad councils for inter-dormitory government were made clearer. Braun maintained, however, that AIM was solely a service organiza- tion and could not interfere with the quad councils since it was not a governing body. Mossner expressed the opinion that AIM had survived its "crisis" of the past five weeks but could not afford to let up on its efforts. Student Loses Eye In Shop Accident While working in the East En- ATTACK-A Korean orphan out-maneuvers General James Van Fleet with a rear attack to get a candy bar. The event took place while the Eighth Army commander was visiting Seoul's Columbia Orphanage to help distribute some of the $11,000 worth of gifts sent to Korean children by U.S. Third Army men at home. Candidates Enter Finalt Week in Wisconsin T1est MILWAUKEE-(PA)-A promise and a warning were tossed at the Wisconsin electorate yesterday as Presidential aspirants weaved through the State in the last week of campaigning for delegate votes. Sen. Kefauver, joined by his wife in the final fling for the State's 28 votes at the National Democratc convention, made the promise to a crowd of 300 assembled in the courthouse square at Janesville in Southern Wisconsin. If not successful in his bid for the nomination, Kefauver declared "I will be out in front fighting to help elect a Democratic President." * * * * THE WARNING came from Harold Stassen, one of three active campaigners here for the 30 delegates at the Republican convention. " The ex-Minnesota Governor de- -a Iclared there was trickery afoot in R eds, A llies the bids for Wisconsin's April 1 primary vote. AA ELECTION FEAR: Uninformed Students' Vote,'Worries Officials Agree Upon Censorship MUNSAN, Korea, Tuesday, March 25-.T)-Truce negotiators agreed quickly today to clamp a news blackout on prisoner ex- change talks in an effort to speed a Korean armistice. In a nearby tent, other staff of- ficers neared the final stages in mapping areas open to inspection around ports of entry. They ad- journed for the day after one hour and 16 minutes. The news blackout will cut down the amount of information given to correspondents after each day's truce sessions. Newsmen do not sit in on the talks. IN YESTERDAY'S truce super- vision session the negotiators inched toward complete agree- ment on' a secondary item-de- tailed maps of ports of entry} through which troop replacements and supplies would flow during an armistice. An Allied staff officer said the Reds had agreed that "if neces- sary" neutral inspectors could travel by plane to the 10 entry ports in North and South Korea, but only from a jointly-built field in the demilitarized zone. The unresolved major issues re- mained the same: The Allies' de- mand for voluntary repatriation of prisoners; Communist insist- ence on Russia as member of the neutral inspection group, and Al- lied insistence for a ban on mili- tary airfield construction during a truce. Meanwhile American jet fight-' ers shot down three Communist MIG-15s, probably destroyed two and damaged nine yesterday in four air battles over Northwest Korea. New Immigration Plan Draws Fire McCarran Criticizes Truman's Request To Admit Extra 300,000 By HARRY LUNN Sen. Patrick McCarran (D-Nev.) foe of Administration immigra- tion policies, last night had a good deal to say about President Tru- mans proposal made yesterday to allow 300,000 additional European immigrants into this country in the next three years. Sen. McCarran, who has two pieces of his own legislation pending to solve the problem of migration from congested Europe, told The Daily in a telephone interview that he regarded 100,000 additional im- migrants as the maximum that should be allowed to enter the United States. One of Sen. McCarran's proposals is the creation of a special Senate Committee to study overpopulation and migration in Europe. It has passed the Judiciary Com- ; Stassen told an audience at Dodgeville, in Southwestern Wisconsin, that ex-governor Phil LaFollette was trying to slip back into. power by running as a delegate-at-large pledged to the candidacy of Gov. War- ren of California. La Follette was an avowed backer of Gen. Eisenhower until the latter de- clined to enter his name in the primary here. "I wish to point that La Follette is not authorized to represent Gen. Eisenhower in the Wisconsin pri- mary and is attempting to trick the Republican voters," Stassen said. "His record of isolationism and third party attempts clearly show that the La Follette-Warren slate is not entitled to the support of Republicans of Wisconsin and that it is misusing the name of Gen. Eisenhower." YP To Petition For Meisner Talk By a unanimous vote, campus Young Progressives last night agreed to petition the Lecture Committee to hear ousted Wayne University student Lorraine Faxon Meisner. Slightly amending last week's slate of new officers, Marge Buck- ley, '54, and Joan Berler, '54, were elected as co-chairmen of YP. Art D'Antonio, treasurer, and Vincent Guliano, '52, secretary, were other approved changes. mittee and now awaits action in the Rules Committee. His other legislation would set up an agency to handle European migration. This measure is now before the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee. IN A 4,000 WORD program drafted at the Little White House in Key West, Fla. and presented to Congress yesterday, Truman out- lined a three point program for European migration problems: "(1) Provide aid for the un- fortunate victims of oppression who are escaping from Communist tyranny behind the Iron Curtain. "(2) Continue our participa- tion in the international effort now being made to assist in the migration and resettlement throughout the world of a sub- stantial number of persons from overpopulated areas of Western Europe. "(3) Authorize additional immi- gration into this country, on a lim- ited basis, to aid in alleviating the problems created by Communist tyranny and overpopulation in Western Europe," At the end of this year 400,000 refugees will have resettled in the .United States under provision of the- Displaced Persons- Act. The President's new proposal is de- signed to replace the -DP act. SEN. MCCARRAN expressed agreement with the President about the seriousness of the prob- lem. "I desire modernizing our im- migration and naturalization laws," he said. Then he outlined his program. "My Senate committee's study should be one which would deter- mine places on earth suitable for people who would be moved from Europe," he said. ALONG WITH his view that only 100,000 additional refugees be admitted, McCarran believes they should be carefully selected people who would work in agrarian occupations in order to add to our food production. Here in Ann Arbor, Prof. Wil- liam Haber of the economics de- partment, said last night "im- migration has never hurt the United States economically. It has not caused unemployment-- immigrants are not merely job seekers. They add to the labor force, contribute to production, and add to consumer demand." Prof. Amos H. Hawley of the sociology department said, "I wouldn't be surprised to see the cumulative effect of these immi- gration policies change the quota, system." According to Prof. Hawley, most of those who have come over un- der the Displaced Persons Act have gone into industrial centers. "But they apparently are doing very well," he said, "they come at a favorable time and are no prob- lem at all." Finnegan Given Two Years, Fine ST. LOUIS-(P)-James P. Fin- negan, personal friend of President Truman, was given two years in prison and fined $10,000 yesterday by a Federal judge who denounced him as a public official who sold his honor for a "dirty mess of dol- lars." The 51-year-old ex-Internal Res venue Collector was, tense as he stood before U.S. District Judge Rubey M. Hulen. Only a few min utes before the Judge had denied him a new trial on his conviction of misconduct in office by a jury March 15. FINNEGAN'S face flushed as he heard Judge Hulen sentence him to two years on the first count. Then the judge gave him- two years on the second count and fined him $10,000, the prison terms to run concurrently. Judge Hulen gave-him a verb- al lashing from the bench be- fore the sentencing. Once during the lecture the affable Finnegan, for years one of the city's most influential Democratic politi- cians, aase to stand before the bench for the sentencing. Judge Hulen motioned for him to be seated and contintud his blister- ing statement. Finnegan posted a new $5,000 bond, pending his appeal to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. His attorneys said they would appeal the case within the allotted 10 days. Finnegan, with time off for good behavior, can do ;his prison term in 19 months. All Federal prisoners may apply for a parole after serv- ing one-third of their sentence (in Finnegan's case eight months) but few are granted. State Senate Group Cuts'U' Building Funds LANSING-The Senate Finance Committee yesterday followed the lead of the House Ways and Means Committee in slashing the pro- posed new medical science build- ing and library addition from the University capital outlays budget. Included in an omnibus state institutional construction bill re- ported out on the floor were $1,- 038,000 to complete the Angell Hall Addition, and $726,800 to fin- ish the Out-Patient Clinic. The House committee reported out a similar bill Friday. Legislators have been hinting for some time that therewould. be no money for any construction not already in progress. Observers saw slim chance that, with both houses receiving similar bills from committee, that funds for the $4,250,000 library expan- sion program and the $12,500,000 medical building could be restored on the floor. YD, YR Truman Debate Scheduled World News Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-The Supreme -~Court yesterday cleared the way for a second trial of William W. Remington, 34-year-old former government economist, on charges arising out of alleged Communist associations. * * *M' l c I t t 1 t c (EDITORS' NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles designed to acquaint voters with important is- sues in. the April 7 election.) By ZANDER HOLLANDER Ann Arbor officials are quietly worried over what City Clerk Fred Looker has called an "unprece- dented number" of University stu- dents registered to vote in the April 7 election. City authorities fear that the low-income student voters, lured to the polls this year by a contro- versial amusement tax referendum on the ballot, will automatically try to kill the measure. But, the politicos fear voting a "no" on the tax may lead students who are unacquainted with the city's vital needs to swing the axe blindlyionall nine ballot proposi- tions. * * * THE PROPOSITIONS will ap- pear on the ballot along with con- tests for seven City Council seats and five posts on the county Board of Supervisors. Two Republican IN INTRODUCING his excise proposal the Mayor claimed that the biggest bite would probably fall on out-of-town football fans, who bring little revenue to the city while requiring expanded city ser- vices, like traffic police and fire protection. But the big opposition comes from a local theatre chain which had much to do with the heavy campus registration, warning on its screens that the excise would hit hard on moviegoers' budgets. Other opponents say that the proposition sets a precedent for further excises on other sources of revenue - although these would still require voter approval. The plain fact of the matter is that Ann Arbor needs money.
