COMMUNICATIONS, HIT: three Major Industries, Faced by Strike Thread By The Associated Press Strikes and strike threats spread through the nation yesterday as workers in three major industries fought for wage and employee benefits. Striking are 31,004 operators of the Western Union Telegraph company. A telephone strike was postponed until Monday, but hopes to avert a steel walkout collapsed yesterday. IN NEW YORK, steel wage talks collapsed yesterday and CIO leader Philip Murray said a letter National A Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court, in a speeded-up decision, held yesterday that a presidential elector candidate may be com- pelled to pledge support of the na- tional ticket chosen by his party.

At 9:20 p.m. last night, Murray told a newsman that a letter out- lining strike plans had been draft- ed and would "be put in the mails tomorrow morning." He declined to detail its contents. It appeared a strike could be averted only by government sei- zure of the industry--and there was a question by both govern- ment and industry whether such a move would be legal. The breakdown of the wage talks came when the CIO United Steel- Workers Union rejected an indus- try wage increase offer that failed- to meet proposals by the Wage Stabilization Board. * * * ALMOST simultaneously with collapse of the talks here, Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall ruled out any "special price increase" for the steel industry.

On May 6, Dr. Barnes will speak again, this time on "The Medical Basis for Sane Sex UlBuding Bill Passed Senate By MARGE SHEPHERD The appropriation picture ap- peared brighter' this week as the state Senate approved bills pro- viding funds for completion of the Angell Hall addition and Out- Patient Clinic and rehabilitation of the Natural Science Bldg. and University Hospital. Funds amounting to $1,308,403 for the completion of the class- room addition and $726,800 to finish the new Out-Patient Clinic, which are scheduled to open this fall, were approved by the Senate Wednesday and have been sent to the House of Representatives. * * * INCLUDED in the capital out- lay program were recommenda- tions for appropriation of $325,- 000 to rehabilitate the Natural Science Bldg. and $16,000 to begin planning an extensive moderniza- tion of the University Hospital. The University had originally re- quested $650,000 to initiate the hospital program. As changes are seldom made by the House on a bill passed in the Senate, University officials were confident that the appro- priation measure would pass the House without further reduc- tions. Hope was still expressed that additions may be made to the bill before its final passage. THE $16,936,650 operating bud- get passed by the House will be considered by the Senate near the end of the session, while"the capi- tal outlay program approved by the Senate will go to the House for action about the same time. Administrators hoped that the legislature will pass the Uni- versity measure by the April 11 deadline, The Senate also approved an appropriation of $287,500 to match with federal funds for improve- ment of airports, including $50,000 for Willow Run Airport. Axel Hope Seen For Korean Agreement Groups Separate To Seek Terms By The Associated Press Friday, April 4-Secret Allied- Communist talks on exchange of prisoners in a Korean armistice adjourned for an indefinite period in Munsan today in order 'for both sides to develop compromise plans to break the prolonged deadlock. A few hours earlier Gen. Mat- thew B. Ridgway indicated he thought a compromise was likely on major issues blocking a truce. The supreme UN commander said he thought progress was be- ing made in the talks. * * . THE EXCHANGE of prisoners, Russian participation in truce su- pervision and construction of mili- tary airfields during the armistice are the present roadblocks to an armistice. "I think there is little proba- bility of either side conceding on all of them," Ridgwaynsaid in reference to the unsolved issues. However, it was an official hint that some concessions might be made. The staff officers negotiating prisoner exchange said time for a future meeting will be set by liai- son officers. * * * SUB DELEGATES of the main armistice commission meeting in another tent on truce supervision conferred only 11 minutes, but will convene again tomorrow. "I think we're making progress in the truce talks," Ridgway said. Meanwhile in Seoul, three jet battles blazed across northwest skies yesterday, climaxing three days of furious fighting in which the Fifth Air Force said 15 Red MIGs were shot down for a total of 40 destroyed or damaged.

Eisenhower plumped last night for a big new Eisenhower write-in drive in next Tuesday's Illinois prmary where Sen. Robert A. Taft is the heralded favorite. Taft, riding high after his twin victories in Nebraska and Wiscon- sin this week, indicated he wel- comed the Eisenhower write-in challenge. LATEST RETURNS from the Nebraska primary showed Taft's write-in plurality over Eisenhower was about 15,000 votes. Returns from 2,050 of the state's 2,058 pre- cincts gave Taft 75,790, Eisenhow- er 60,853, and Harold E. Stassen 52,891. Both Taft and Eisenhower were write-ins in Nebraska. Taft's name is on the Illinois ballot, along with that of Stas- sen. Meanwhile, the Democratic cam- paign in Illinois began to build up as possibly a crucial test for the trial balloon launched by admirers of Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson. Sen. Estes Kefauver is the only listed candidate on the Dem- ocratic ballot, but Chicagoans were booming Stevenson in a telephone campaign for write-in votes. hour virtual deadlock with Doro- thy Mackay. Friedman was elected by two votes after the quota was lowered to 267. The original quota had been 284. . Friedman and the 21st candi- date elected, Pat Mann, will both serve one semester terms, filling out the tenure of two ineligible legislators.

McGrath lowered the boom he fired Morris, then "resigned" FRIEDMAN LAST ELECTED: N ew SL Members Relaxe After Campaign Battle By HARLAND BRITZ Everything was quiet on the Student Legislature front yesterday as SL members relaxed from the hectic travail of election week. The ballot counting wasn't completed until 3:30 a.m. yesterday when Ted Friedman was declared the twenty-second candidate elected to SL. -- -- His election came after a half, In Row Prosecutor Dismisses Investigator President Ousts Cabinet Member WASHINGTON -(P)- Attorney General McGrath and Newbold Morris, the Truman administra- tion's corruption investigator, both got the axe yesterday in an as- tonishing two-act political drama. McGrath summarily fired Mor- ris, who had tried to delve into the finances of McGrath and other high officials. Less than four hours later, President Truman announc- ed McGrath's departure from the cabinet. TRUMAN named Federal Dis- trict Judge James P. McGranery of Philadelphia to be the new at- torney general. McGranery, a former assistant attorney general and former Democratic member of the House, announced in Phila- delphia: "My job will be to restore the faith of the American peo- ple in the.government of the. United States, and it will be done completely by the Depart- ment of Justice." McGrath wired McGranery: "I suggest you bring a pair of asbestos pants with you." TRUMAN, in announcing Mc- Grath's departure at a news con- ference, called it a resignation. Asked if it was voluntary, he said it was, but added that all resig- nations are voluntary. And McGrath said in a state- ment that It was a "penalty" for opposing Morris' efforts to delve into the personal financial affairs of government officials, including himself. "I have stood up for what I be- lieve to be great principles of per- sonal liberty and the fundamental rights of employes of the Federal government," McGrath said. "I gladly accept the penalty which in this instance attaches to the performance of duty." McGRATH BECAME the sixth member of President Truman's cabinet who resigned "under ex- plosive circumstances or was fired outright. The President said the question whether Morris is reinstated as corruption sleuth is entirely up to McGranery. In any event, he added, the new attorney general will carry on the cleanup campaign in the federal government. * * * Resignation No Great Surprise To 'U' Experts Attorney General J. Howard McGrath's resignation from the Truman cabinet came as no great surprise to two University profes- sors, who even regarded the resig- nation as "long overdue". Typifying the general faculty reaction, Prof. John Reed of the Law School, said that the news was not too unexpected. Prof. Reed felt the resignation was a fore- gone conclusion after McGrath started disagreeing with Truman over Morris two weeks ago. A somewhat stronger view was held by Prof. Harold Dorr, of the political science department, who declared that Pres. Truman should have fired McGrath on Wednesday and not given him an opportunity to resign.
