IT No. 147 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MAY2, 1952 iIM: rAE Z ____V_____Y___________________ _1_Y"____ Expect Word On MePhaul Case Today Fifteen Students Face 'U' Action A decision is expected today on x the eontroversial McPhaul dinner case. The /University Sub-committee on Discipline will meet at 2:301 p.m. to pass on recommendations regarding disciplinary action drawn up by the joint Judiciary Council. SUB - COMMITTEE chairman Prof. William W. Blume of the Law School said last night he had not-yet seen the Judiciary's report but had been told it would be on his desk this morning. "We are anxious to wind the cases up," Prof. Blume said, add- ing that he thought it likely the1 final decision would be forth- coming today. "If the commit- tee needs more time, we will probably schedule a Saturday session," he said. Fifteen students have been charged with breaking a Regents' by-law regarding use of Univer- sity property by attending the fateful dinner speech in the Union March 6. Speaker at the dinner was Arthur McPhaul, executive see- retary of the Civil Rights Con- gress' Michigan branch, who accused the U.S. government of "practicing genocide against the Negro people." McPhaul had been temporarily banned three days before from addressing the campus Young Progressives. His appearance at the Union was unannounced, and the room was reserved under the false name of "Henry Gerard." THE DECISION will climax eight confusing weeks of hearings involving four separate University bodies. First was the Student Affairs Committee, which quickly faded from the picture when it was learned one of its own members had attended the dinner. A special faculty-student in- vestigating committee, consist- ing of three deans, three student leaders and one faculty member, was then appointed by President Hatcher to sift facts and hear testimony. After five weeks, it came up withy a blanket charge against 14 students whose presence at the dinner was established. THE CHARGE was turned over on April 17 to the nine-student Judiciary,- which picked up the name of a University philosophy teaching fellow who participated in the dinner in the course of its hearings. In closed sessions this week, the Judiciary arrived at a secret k verdict. According to Univer- sity rules of procedure, the ver- dict must be handed over to the Sub-Committee for final ap- proval. Besides Prof. Blume, who also served as chief interrogator on the original investigating com- mittee, the sub-committee is com- posed of Prof. Axel Marin of the engineering school and Prof. Ar- thur Van Duren of the German department. Dean James H. Rob- ertson of the literary college will replace Prof. Van Duren, who is ill, at today's meeting. A The Sub-Committee's action may vary on individual cases. The decision could range from complete exoneration to expul- sion from school. Even if the Sub-Committee acts today, the case may not be ended. All of the defendants will be given 24 hours to request an appeal in the form of new hearings before the Sub-Committee. Criticism of the investigation has mounted steadily during the eight weeks since the dinner, with the investigating committee's in- terpretation of Regents' rules coming in for the heaviest attack. A top University official speculated yesterday that the long-awaited decision v ould at least clear up thg confusion on this score. Youth Drowns At Honor Camp Joint Judiciary Hay Be Altered Design New System To Make Joint Group Unified, More Representative By CHUCK EllIOTT Daily Managing Editor if a new constitution now under discussion is approved, the cam- pus will have a brand new student judiciary system. It will be centralized and unified, designed to strengthen and make more representative the existing Joint Judiciary Council, top student judicial body, which rules on all disciplinary cases involving students. ACCORDING TO JOHN MEROW, '52E, chairman of the Men's Judic and a framer of the new constitution, the main point yet to be settled is the composition of the appointments committee. Under the existing arrangement,the League Interviewing Board appoints mem- bers to the Women's Judic, and the Student Legislature cabinet selects students to serve on Men's Judic. Forming the Joint Judiciary Coun- cil, the Men's and Women's councils go together to handle cases of a broader nature, such as the current McPhaul dinner investigation.. Deficiencies in the present arrangement were cited by Merow as the reasons for reorganization. "With appointments made the way they are now, in late Spring, Joint Judie is weakest through a lack of experienced members at the time when they are busiest. "Further, there are definite inconsistencies in the method of judiciary appointment as it is now being done," Merow said. "The me nare selected by the SL cabinet, representing men and women both, while the League, representing women alone, chooses the female members of the campus judicial group. Actually, that judicial group handles cases dealing with about 90 per cent men. Also, we have no assurance that different standards are not being used by the two ap- pointment groups." THE NEW SYSTEM would have all members of a Joint Judiciary body-five men and five women-appointed by a single committee. The Student Affairs Committee, which has been going over the plan in its last few meetings, has agreed upon this principle. However, there is still question about who will compose the appointment body. Ac- cording to Merow, the judiciariesfeel it should be made up of the four top members of the SL cabinet, the president of the League, the chairman of the League Interviewing Board, and the retiring chair- man and vice-chairman of the Joint Judic. . After a rather heated discussion in Tuesday's SAC meeting, it was tentatively agreed to have the student membership of the SAC meeting, it was tentatively agreed to have the student membership of the SAC serve as this appointments committee. Another meeting of the SAC on the matter will be held next Tuesday. Men's Judie will in effect go out of existence, Merow ex- plained, if the new constitution is passed. The male members of Joint Judiciary Councilmay.separate from the main group to handle extraordinay cases involving men alone, however, if neces- sary. He pointed out that Women's Judic would have to continue as a separate organization to rule on house regulations and mat- ters of that sort. Different women than those on the Joint Council would probably make up this group. The revised constitution is considerably more detailed than the origirial charter. Running to six pages, it defines the Council's sphere of jurisdiction, composition, and responsibilities. According to Merow, many points included in the new constitution were arrived at through practice since Judic has been in existence, but have never yet been set down in writing. MayD ay Celebrations Highlighted by Volence By The Associated Press May Day riots and disorders, bristling military parades and East- West word battles broke out all over the map yesterday. There was more violence and more words spilled than in years Japan, turned loose on her own from the occupation yoke only this week, had her worst riot since the war when 20,000 Communist- led anti-American marchers fought police with clubs and stones in front of the Imperial Palace. Hundreds were injured, including some Americans, and one person was reported killed. There were cracked heads in split Berlin, clashes in Tunisia and Algeria where several were injured, brawls in Israel, and cordons of alert police on hand in nearly every big city of Western Europe. * * * * THE'SOVIET UNION and her Communist antagonist, Yugoslavia, led the field in displays of military preparedness. Tokyo's Communists, swinging clubs, charged 1,000 steel-hel- meted police, knocked 218 of them to the ground and seriously injured 51. Twelve American automobiles were overturned and burned, two U.S. sailors were tossed into the palace moat, the wife of a navy man was roughed up and several other Americans were shoved and hit. * * * Y City Gasoline Sales May Close Soon Supply Depleted As Nation Hoards- The Oil Workers International Union strike has forced hoarding of petroleum supplies across the nation and will cause a majority of Ann Arbor service stations to stop gasoline sales by the first of next week if no agreement is reached. The University plant service re- ported last night that their under- ground tank supply would last under normal usage for two weeks. However if the shortage exceeded that period they would place gas restrictions on the University pas- senger and truck fleet. One Ann Arbor company official yesterday said his firm's tanks were empty, and refilling is im- possible with the Detroit source being picketed. * * *s ACCORDING TO Associated Press reports President Truman, questioned at his news conference yesterday if he had any intention of seizing the old industry, as he had the steel industry, said the question had not been put to him, but that he understood an agree- ment was near in the oil walkout. Secretary of the Interior Oscar Chapman in Washington said strikes now underway in the oil industry will cut aviation gasoline production by about 30 per cent and it already "is in short supply.". He said an order limiting use of aviation gasoline probably will be issued soon. About half of the entire domestic output of aviation gasoline is used for military pur- poses, Chapman said. Iron Curtain Travel Banned To Americans WASHINGTON--()-The Uni- ted States yesterday put all of the Iron Curtain countries out of bounds for American travelers ex- cept for trips specifically approved by the State Department. To prevent "sneak visits" and protect venturesome individuals from risking travel to Communist- run areas, the department started stamping all new passports: "This passport is not valid for travel to Albania, Bulgaria, China, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics unless speci- fically endorsed under authority of the Department of State as be- ing valid for such travel." TRAVEL TO three of these - Bulgaria, Czechoslovakiahand Hungary-already was prohibited and a system of military permits has kept Americans out of China since the Communists took over and started jailing some U.S. citi- zens already in the country. The effect of the new order is to tighten restrictions on visits to Russia and the other satellite countries. It went into force near the start of the tourist season which pro- mises to break all records for for- eign travel. In the first three months of this year, just short of 100,000 passportos have been is- sued compared with 60,000 in the same months of 1951. Truman Asks Workers To Call Of f Steel t -Daily-Don Campbell APPRECIATION--Eugene Ormandy expresses appreciation to the May Festival audience last night after receiving an honorary degree of Doctor of Music. Pres. Harlan Ilatcher, Charles A. Sink, and Prof. Carl Litzenberg look on at the ceremony. 4 * 4' * * * * * Ormandy Receives Degree at Concert By MARILYN FLORIDIS ' The long-awaited May Festival got off to an exciting start lastI night both with the singing of soprano Eleanor Steber and an unexpected honorary degree of Doctor of Music conferred on Eu- gene Ormandy. As Hill Auditorium resounded with applause from the Philadel- phia Orchestra's tone blending in Ravel's "Suite No. 2 from the ballet, "Daphnis et Chloe," four academically bedecked figures came out on the stage, led by President Harlan Hatcher. ORMANDY, who is appearing in May Festival for the sixteenth time, was hailed by Prof. Carl TONES OF RESIGNATION: Student Reactions Mild To New Tuition Hikes Student reaction to the an- nounced tuition hikes for next year took on a tone of resigna- tion yesterday, with most dis- tressed at the prospect, but few expressing loud protest. Medical and dental students, faced with the stiffest increase, spoke out most loudly against the move, declared essential by the University to avoid a $570,000 deficit on next year's operations. Communists Reject Allied Proposals MUNSAN, Friday, May 2-(R)-- The Communists today rejected an Allied compromise proposal for settling the last three issues block- ing a Korean armistice but agreed to meet again tomorrow. They turned doWn the Allied plan-which involved prisoner ex- change, military airfield rebuild- ing and Russian participation in post-armistice Korea-in a 78 minute, off-the-record meeting. JIM CASSIDY, '55M, an out-of- state student facing the $150 boost in medical fees for the next year, typified the reaction of the medics by expressing bewilderment at the proportionately large increase m their fees. "Many medical students are just getting by now," he said, asserting that the necessity of scraping up the extra money might impose a real burden on many. However, University officials point out that increased scholar- ship funds will be available for any hardship cases. The correct schedule of semes- ter fees, which takes effect in September, follows: School In-state Out-state Law .........$125 $250 Public Health .$150 $275 Music.........$150 $265 Medicine and Dentistry ... $200 $350 Nursing ...... $65 $130 All others .... $90 $215 It was generally agrn-d by stu- dents and officials that few, if See TUITION, Page 7 Litzenberg, of the English depart-- ment as "splendidly suited for hiso position by reason of his own ac- complishments as a musician, ande his abilities as a student of the 8 score." In receiving his honorary de- gree, Ormandy spoke of his ap- preciation to Charles A. Sink of the University Musical Society for his dauntless efforts in pro-s ducing May Festival and giving the Philadelphia Orchestra the opportunity to perform in it. A typical "first nighter" atmos-t phere pervaded Hill with the en- thusiasm and anticipation brought. about by the opening. Adding to the color 'of the occasion was the variety of attire worn by concert x goers-ranging from casual cam-f pus clothes to formals and furs. *, * * THE DETROIT NEWS' Music Critc Russell McLauchlin spoke of last night's concert as a fine piece of workmanship. "The Philadel- phia Orchestra hit way over its peak in the Strauss number, show- ing the perfection of the group," he maintained. McLauchlin also thought that Miss Steber's rendi- tion of "Die Tote Stadt" showsf "the real stuff." Scheduled for tonight's con- cert is a completely different9 program. Under director Thor Johnson, the University Choral Union and great soloists will perform Berlioz's "The Damna- tion of Faust, Dramatic Legend in Four Parts," at 8:30 p.m. in Hill Auditorium. "Damnation of Faust" has been, heard here under the auspices of the University Musical Society four previous times. Participating in this year's performance will be four distinguished soloists, Patri- cia Neway, soprano of the City Center Opera Company in New York; Set Svanholm, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera; George Lon- don, bass of the Metropolitan Opera; and Philip Duey, baritone and professor at the University music school. Senate Tries To A..idPrison LANSING-(P)-Convened ille- gally because of a technical re- striction, the State Legislature yesterday advised the state ad- ministrative board to advance another $100,000 for repairs to riot-torn Southern Michigan Pri- son. Strike Murray Can't Answer 'til Wire Arrives Court Refuses To Prevent Raise WASHINGTON-W)-President Truman last night asked Philip Murray, head of the CIO Steel- workers, to call off the steel strike. Murray, in Pittsburgh, said he iad not yet rceived the Presi- dent's request, made in a tele- gram, and would have no comment until he got it. * * * TRUMAN appealed to the steel- workers. and also to the heads of six big steel companies, as loyal Americans "to do everything you can" to restore production of the steel "we must have for our na- tional safety." There was no immediate com- ment from industry heads, The President also invited Mur ray and the heads of six steel com- panies to meet with him at 10 o'clock tomorrow -morning to con- fer on the issues involved in an effort to reach an immediate set- lement. IN MAKING his request the President told Murray and the steel heads the United States court of appeals has granted an order halting the district court order which had blocked the op- eration of the steel mills by the government. "Thus the government is now in a position to continue the op- eration of the steel mills in the national niterest," Truman said. The Court of Appeals here, by a split 5 to 4 vote, refused yesterday to forbid the government to raise wages in the industry. However, Secretary of Com- merce Sawyer, who is in control of the industry for the 'government, said no immediate wage boost was planned. SAWYER ALSO called for new peace talks in the strike-crippled steel industry and asked Congress for legislation empowering the government to deal with "titanic" struggles between industry and labor. Late in the day, President Truman told his news confer- ence he has no ambition to be a dictator and will abide by any Supreme Court decision on. his seizure of the multi-billion dol- lar steel industry. The President said he will take every possible action to get the steel strike settled, but gave no clue of what steps he might have in mind. Books Needed For Jackson State Prison A need for books of all kinds was expressed by Jackson Prison offi- cials yesterday as attempts at re- placing the prison library got un- der way. Except for a few books in cells at the time of the rioting, the en- tire library was destroyed. Men who did not take part in the des- truction are the ones hardest hit, according to one official. 4 4 FICTION, TECHINICAL and text books were included in the request for public aid in the li- brary rebuilding. Anyone desiring to contribute to the project was asked to contact Warden Julian H. Frisbey to have the books taken care of. Meanwhile efforts are being made at the prison to get the laundry service back in opera- tion. At the present time the work is being done by outside copcerns at a considerable ex- pense. SOME three million Japanese attended big rallies in other cities on May 1, chosen by the Socialist International in 1889 as an inter- national labor day. But elsewhere there was no disorder. A million Germans turned out for rival rallies in Berlin, where East and West come into rough. est day-to-day contact in Eur- ope. About 5,000 young rowdies from East Berlin thrust into the French sector and were rudely jolted by police night- sticks. Seventy-three Communists were tossed into jail, and the injured comrades were paraded with their bleeding heads down East Berlin's Unter Den Linden to make capital of the incident. EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: 0 DTa*PT " G a By ZANDER HOLLANDER With riot-torn Southern Michi- gan Prison still "tense and liable to explode at any time," accord- ing to one prison official, the man who'll head Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams' fact-finding commission last night told how hem and his two associate investigators plan to get the truth behind the mass mutiny at the giant Jackson penitentiary. In an exclusive interview, Les- ter P. Dodd, president of the State Bar Association and chairman of ard Rodgers, Midland police chief and past president of the Michi- gan Association of Chiefs of Po- lice. Dodd revealed that his com- mittee will work fast on its in- vestigation, starting in high gear at 9 a.m. today. Then, af- ter a briefing and inspection of the prison layout, the commis- sion will settle down to ques- tioning "everyone who knows anything about the rioting." In na~ming the gcommiin's Dodd said that he would prob- ably request that Earl Ward, "Crazy Jack" Hyatt, and James Hudson, all three leaders in the riot, be returned to Jackson to testify before the commission. The three men, all inmates of Block 15, the nerve center of the upris- ing, were removed to separate county jails two days. ago when prison authorities charged that they hadsattempted to incite a further disturbance. 1' n.
