MARY JANE MILLS Dean of Women Deborah Bacon has approved a Panhellenic Association plan to hold sorority rushing at the beginning of the fall semester, replacing the present system of deferred rushing. Rushing will begin on Saturday, Sept. 20 and continue through Friday, Oct. 3 with registration to be -held on Thursday of orientation week. REASONS FOR INSTITUTING the new plan, according to Bev Clarke, '52, Panhel president, was to allow incoming freshmen to i rush without having to meet Giant B-36 Cracks-Up, 15 Killed Spokane, Wash. ()-A gian 10-engine B-36 bomber falterer and fell on takeoff at Fairchil Air Force base early yesterda killing 15 of the 17 men aboard. The huge craft, world's large bomber, crashed through a fen at the end of the runway and bur into flames in a farmer's whe field, leaving bits of wreckage i its wake. * * * SOMEHOW two men survived They were seriously burned an < suffered shock. They were unabe to speak to investigators. The B-36 hit with terrific force and pieces fell off as it bounced along the ground. I stopped on the edge of the field and burned fiercely. "We were awakened by this av ful crash and as we got out of be all we could see was a big fire, farmer Ernest Alf said. "The crash made an awful ex. plosion," Alf continued. "it lit u the room like it was daylight. J looked like it was only a bloc away but it was a half mile." WITHIN MINUTES, the B-3 with its huge swept-back wing wa virtually a shell. The 3% million dollar bomb. er was taking off on a routine training flight from Fairchild. some 10 miles west of here. Military policemen raced to th scene and threw a guard around the plane. Fairchild said it couldn't con firm Alf's report that the B-3 blew up. Air Force officials sai they were unable to determine the cause of the crash immediately They said the plane got off the ground but faltered and rippe through the fence at 8:45 a.m Young Wins Owen Award The Wendy Owen Memoria Award has been presented to Crawford Young, '53, Dean of Stu- dents Erich A. Walter announced yesterday. Established through the estat of former Daily Night Editor Wen- dy Owen who died last summer the award is given annually to a Daily staff member for construc- tive contribution to the campus through his Daily work. This year the award amounted to $75. Selection is made by the Daily senior editors, the dean of students and the dean of women. Young, a night editor, is from Washington D. C. He was recently elected vice-president of next year's senior class and is a mem- ber of Sphinx, junior men's hon- orary society. He is affiliated with Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Judge Forbids Railroad Strike CLEVELAND -(R)-- A Federal judge yesterday forbade three railroad unions to strike against the Government, but said the courts should not be used ."to im- pel collective bargaining." Spokesmen for the unions- engineers, firement and conductors said they would appeal the pre- liminary injunction ordered by JuLr ,Io 'w Vmih Ri Frn scholastic standards. However, rushees will have to be scholastically eligible to go through initiation proceedings. Last year many pledges were dropped because they failed to maintain satisfactory averages, Miss Clarke revealed. Another reason given for the new plan was to do away with contact rules--a prohibition against sorority women entering dormitories until after rushing- easing any existing pressure be- tween independent and affiliated women by getting rushing over early. * * * ACCORDING to the new plan, all freshmen, transfer and upper- class women will be eligible to register for rushing next fall. Freshmen women, however, will still live in the dormitories for their first year. Coeds pledged in the fall will be initi- ated the following semester pro- viding they are scholastically eligible. Panhellenic recommended the new system by a vote of 16 to 2 and added many new provisions to pl.ce rushing on a more infor- mal basis, according r to Miss Clarke. * * * UNDER THE new plan, opening teas will be replaced by a series of informal mixers to be held the first three days of rushing. Re- ceiving lines, elaborate decorations and entertainment will be abol- ished. One set of parties will consist of outdoor suppers planned so the menus of the houses will be standardized. Only formal part of the entire rushing system to be maintained is the final dessert parties. s s " TO FACILITATE the new pro- gram, the Panhel rushing coun- selor system has been expanded. The counselors will accom- pany rushing groups to the first set of mixers in order to guide them personally and promote a close relationship between rushee and counselor, Miss. Clarke said. The fall rushing system will be used by sororities for the first time since 1945. Sororities tried rushing both in the fall and spring from1942 to 1945. HST Signs Jap Peace Document Pacific Defense Pacts Concluded WASHINGTON-(A)-President Truman yesterday signed the Jap- anese Peace Treaty which will formally end the long and bitter struggle that began when Japanese Sbombers rained destruction on the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941. The State Department announc- ed the treaty will become effective April 28, restoring Japan to inde- pendence and full sovereignty over her home islands 62yeas after the end of World War II. * * PRESIDENT Truman signed his name to the blue-and-gold bound document at 11:30 a.m. The President also affixed his signature to three related trea- ties designed to set up a new Pacific defense system aimed at blocking the extension of So- viet Russia's power, directly or indirectly, into that strategic area. One of the security pacts, with Japan, gives the United States the right to station military forces in and around Japan indefinitely to protect it against the Communist forces of Red China and Russia. The other pacts are with the Philippines and with Australia and New Zealand. * * PRESIDENT Truman is expect- ed to nominate Robert D. Murphy, possibly today, as the first post- war ambassador to Japan. Mur- phy, now in this country, has been ambassador to Belgium for the past two years. The new Japanese ambassador is expected to be Sadao Iguchi, present vice-foreign minister, who was first secretary of the Washington embassy at the time of Pearl Haimbor. The peace treaty was formally ratified by the Senate on March 20, by a vote of 66 to 10. * * * THE TREATY permits Japan to re-arm, and although the post- war Japanese constitution specifi- cally bars rearmament it is ex- pected the Japanese will now take steps to build up non-aggressive defense forces. The treaty itself imposes n direct reparations. It recognizes, however, that Japan is obligated to pay in excess labor and un- used plant capacity for the dam- age and suffering it caused dur- ing World War II. Under the pact, Japan's huges war-built empire that stretchedj from the Manchurian border into the South Seas is reduced to the four main Japanese home islandsl -Honshu, Kokkaido, Kyushu and1 Shikoku-and a few small adja- cent ilands.- Ike Scores Tatft Talks ere Ohio-Senator Will Outline Platformi Speech Slated.

VACCINE POSSIBLE: Polio Linked to Blood In StartlingDiscovery NEW YORK-(A)-The end of Polio may be in sight due to a surprising discovery that polio strikes first in our blood instead of nerves. Two reports of the blood discovery, by Dr. David Bodian of Johns Hopkins University and the other by Dr. Dorothy Horstmann of Yale, were made yesterday to the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. 1 t t t r i r G t f t: SENATOR TAFT * *5 * gan's Detroit-area national con- vention delegates.

Monkeys and chimpanzees got polio virus in their food, the same as humans are known to do. But it was found a few days later in their blood. Sometimes it re- , mained in the blood for 15 days. During all this time the animals were not sick in the slightest de- gree. This explains why the blood route of polio went undiscovered so many years. Nobody looked there when animals were not sick. Dr. Bodian said the new con- cept of polio is that while the virus stays in the blood, the blood makes antibodies to destroy the virus. But sometimes it does not make enough of these protectors, and in that case the virus leaks into neres f the s ninnl ord n'f~and IG&S PRESENTS OPERETTA: 'Princess Idt By ALICE BOGDONOFF After months of intensive re- hearsal, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society will present "Princess Ida" at 8:00 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
