LXII, No. 163 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1952 SIX PAGES No Agreement in Oil Controversy Union Leader Declares Intention To Intensify Oil Worker's Walkout By The Associated Press President Truman said yesterday he was working hard to settle a week-old strike of oil workers, but a CIO Union leader in Denver declared "we intend to intensify the strike." The oil case has not gone officially to the White House. How- ever, the chairman pf the Wage Stabilization Board (WSB), Nathan P. Feinsinger, said it probably would be sent to Truman if the WSB fails to end the strike. FEINSINGER'S PLEA for an end to the walkout pending a WSB hearing in Washington May 13 was rejected in nenver Wednesday by Y P Petitions To Receive FinalAction Specific Charges To Be Released By ALICE BOGDONOFF Two months of controversy over three speakers the Young Progres- sives want to sponsor will come to a head today when the Lecture Committee decides on the pend- ing petitions of Arthur McPhaul, William Hood, and Lorraine Faxon Meisner. Also slated for today's meeting is the release of -specific charges against the Young Progressives to be submitted to the Student Af- fairs Committee for a review of the YP's "responsibility." THE SPARK that touched off the long tussle between the Lecture Committee and the YP's was the temporary banning on March 3 of McPhaul, executive secretary of the Civil Rights Congress. . McPhaul, who was to talk on "Genocide against the American Negro," was denied permission to speak until the YP's could sub- * * * Ikse', Taft Disagree on Foreign Aid ,By The Associated Press Two leading contenders for the Republican presidential nomina- tion split sharply yesterday over the size of the foreign aid program needed to guarantee American se- curity during the next 12 months. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said Congressional proposals to cut foreign aid by one billion dollars would be "heavily and seriously feIt"-and that cuts substantially beyond that point might endanger U.S. security. "I DO NOT at all agree," Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio declared at a Hartford, Conn., news confer- ence when informed of Eisenhow- er's statement. The Senator said a cut of even two billion dollars, bringing mu- tua security spending down to about six billion for the next fis- cal year, "would in no way en- danger the program or the se- curity of the United 54tes, Eisenhower's views were express- ed ina message to Sen Connally (D-Tex), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He told Connally there can be little question but that the na- tion's mutual security policy is gradually stabilizing "the inter- national scene. The commander of the North Atlantic Treaty forces spoke in guarded terms and said his state- ment about aid funds was based on a number of assumptions. These included the assumption that the financial computations of Presi- dent Truman's $7,900,000,000 for- eign aid bill have been "compe- tently made on the basis of our military requirements." Eisenhower is giving up his in- ternational command June 1 and returning to the United States, where he is being boomed for the Republican Presidential nomina- tion, Pay Increase For Military Gets Approval WASHINGTON - (P) - A 4 per cent pay increase for al persons in the nation's armed services was agreed upon yesterday as a Con-' gressional compromise. It would cost the government nearly half a billion dollars a year. Termed a "cost of living" boost, the measure would raise the pay of 31/2 million persons in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and four smaller uniformed services. It would also boost food and rent allowances 14 per cent for everyone from Private to General. The compromise was worked out by a Senate-House Conference Committee appointed to adjust wide differences in military pay bills passed by the two branches of Congress. Both the House and Senate must approve the compromise and Pres- ident Truman must sign it before it becomes effective. If that is done before this month ends, the increases will apply to May mili- tary payrolls. Droned from the measure was >0. A. Knight, President of the Oil Workers International Union (CIO). Knight, spokesman for 22 AFL, CIO and independent unions, said the strikers would take part in the WSB hearing but "we must continue striking until settlements are reached." Negotiations have been in progress on a plant-by-plant basis throughout the country. One of the key discussions be- tween the CIO Union and the Tide Water-Associated Oil Co., collapsed at San Francisco Wed- nesday. It was reported the company of- fered 15 cents an hour raise plus shift differential increases. The unions first demanded 25 cents more an hour plus 6 and 12 cents for the shift differentials. How- ever, Knight has indicated that any company offer of 181/2 cents hourly plus shift differentials would be accepted. Meanwhile in Washington, the Government yesterday forbade the delivery of aviation gasoline to re-sellers or consumers who have as much as a three-day supply on hand. Secretary of the Interior Chap- man, who took the action, said it was "a further move to conserve scarce supplies" because of the nation-wide strike of oilworkers which has affected roughly one third of the industry. ged- Chelsea Re'sident Killed George Allen, 75 years old, was killed last night in a drunken ar- gument in his shack at Chelsea, police reported. Mary Stacy, who owned the ram- shackled lean-to and lived there with Allen and his wife, was being held last night along with Mrs. Allen by officers of the sheriff's department. The murder took place around 6:30 p.m. yesterday. A neigh- bor, Mrs. Osborn and her daugh- ter, Mary Lou, were cutting Al- len's hair when Mrs. Stacy came in, police said. After drunkenly quarreling for a while Mrs. Stacy ran out of the room, picked up a loaded shotgun and returned crying "I'm going to end this argument," police re- ported.

According to Prof. Carl Brandt, secretary of the Lecture Com- mittee, no further statement was received. Following close on the heels of the McPhaul ban, was the YP petition of March 25 to bring Mrs. Meisner to campus as a guest speaker. Mrs. Meisner had been suspend- ed from Wayne University after refusing to answer questions be- fore the House Un-American Ac- tivities Committee hearings in Detroit. She was charged with "conduct unbecoming a student." Within a week, Hood, the sec- retary of Ford Local 600 (UAW- CIO) was temporarily banned. It was at this time that the Lecture Committee issued its statement that SAC would be asked to re- view the "responsibility" of YP. Base Liberation 'Demanded By Ridgway 'Take Whatever Action Necessary' PUSAN, Korea, Friday, May 9- ()-Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway has ordered the U.S. Eighth Army "to take whatever action is required and to use whatever force is nec- essary" to free Brig. Gen. Francis T. Dodd, a hostage of Communist prisoners of war on Koje Island for more than two days. The Red prisoners today con- tinued to ignore an army demand for his release. .* * * EIGHTH ARMY headquarters said at 9:30 a.m. (5:30 p.m., Ann Arbor time) that messages from Dodd were being received by tele- phone from the Communist com- pound on Koje. It said American-cooked meals were being passed to the gen- eral through the compound gates. Prisoners in the compound were quiet last night, hea lquar- ters added. Dodd, who was sent to Koje sev- eral months ago to tighten up control of the stormy prison com- pounds, was seized Wednesday by; hot-head Communist prisoners. He was reported well. Appar- ently Dodd was attempting to ne- gotiate his own release. * * * RIDGWAY, who leaves Tokyo Monday to become Supreme Com- mander of Allied Forces in 14r2 ope, called the seizure -of Dodd a flagrant disregard 'of authority. He said the United Nations Command had given the Com- munist prisoners fair treatment and would continue to do so. He gave his stern orders to Gen. James A. Van Fleet, Eighth Army Commander, last night before end- ing his farewell visit to Korea. The U.S. Eighth Army said cor- respondents would not be permit- ted to travel southward from Seoul to Pusan or Koje today. News of Dodd's seizure at the turbulent prison camp 26 air miles southwest of Pusan was withheld for nearly two days.

Howard, Salva Face Arraignment STEWARD'S ASSOCIATION: IFC Discusses Plan. ForCooperative Buying By JERRY HELMAN As a result of a discussion yesterday about the possibility of orga- nizing a Steward's and Food Buyer's Association, Inter-Fraternity Council leaders have decided to go ahead with the tentative forma- tion of a co-operative buying program. The panel discussion was attended by fraternity presidents and stewards and the various aspects of the problem were reviewed, al- though no definite decision was reached. Comprising the panel were Francis C. Shiel, manager of Uni- versity service enterprises; Homer Heath of the Ann Arbor Trust Co.; Herbert P. Wagner, Food Service Business manager; Joseph Fee, As- sistant to the Dean of Students; and H. Sieger Slifer of the IFC Alumni Association. ** * * ONE OF THE PROPOSED models for the organization 'is the one used at the University of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin plan as outlined by Fee involves the hiring of a buyer to whom fraternity stewards could send in daily orders for food and fuel. Since the subsequent buying would be in volume, substantial discounts could be obtained and the only extra charge would be the buyer's fee. Heath, who handles many fraternity accounts, pointed out that such an organization has been tried several times in the past and has failed, because of lack of fraternity cooperation and a central pur- chasing agency. THE POSSIBILITY OF buying through the food service was omivsr.I haii Htr+a,'i it h mt,,it olrni i re a namnhte rvammn- By The Associated Press DETROIT-A petition b Attorney General Frank C lard for a one-man grand investigate Communist ac in this area was rejected mously yesterday by the County Circuit Court Ben WASHINGTON - Rep.

GOP Must Wain Or Fail -- Dorr "The Republican Party must in in 1952 or it will be all washed up," Prof. Harold Dorr of the po- litical science department, told a meeting of the Young Republicans last night. He warned the YR's that they must not anticipate winning an election on a platform which sim- ply points out the shortcomings of the Democrats but present a posi- tive program. Prof. Dorr's remarks ushered in a discussion in which two types of platforms were suggest- ed by members of the club. One was to "out radical" the Democrats and if necessary adopt those aspects of the Democratic program to which the people have given their approval. Supporters of this position pointed out that the country has seen prosperity for the past 20 years under Democra- tic policies and during prosperous times people have never favored a change. The other suggestion made was to offer alternatives to Democratic foreign and domestic policies. nt Tru- on very to cut current ;es, are no in- arowing of the succeed ublican sterday charges prisons hospi- of too CLERGYMEN FAVOR PLAN: SL, SRA Approve Religious Courses By JAN WINN The proposal.to bring a coordi- nator of religious studies to the University, approved this week by SRA and SL, is meeting with fav- orable comment from clergymen, faculty and religious leaders. The plan, which calls for the ad- dition of religion courses to the curriculum, was formulated by the Student Committee on Religion. It is now pending approval by SRA Inter-Guild after which it religious art and music and Far Eastern and little known reli- gions. In scope the student re- port goes beyond that of the one formulated by the faculty, ac- cording to Berson. Strongly behind the plan, Lane Hall director DeWitt C. Baldwin stated that, "I personally feel that a large state university should have more courses in religion to supply the great student demand." should be taught, rather than the general, and comparative as- pects. "Courses about religion only add to the confusion," he, declared. Among faculty members regard for the student-sponsored proposal was high. Prof. Bennett Weaver of the English department w h o teaches a literature course on the Bible said that, "religion rightly integrated into the curriculum would be of great benefit."
