Special To The Daily
MADISON-The University of Michigan baseball team came
through in the 11th inning of the second game of its double-header
with Wisconsin here yesterday to win 6-5 and wind up the season in
a first place tie with Illinois.
The Illini, in the midst of their big "win" year, clinched a tie when
they split two games with lowly Iowa, winning the first 4-1, but drop-
ping the seven-inning nightcap 4-3 to Hawkeye mound ace Bob Diehl.

ROME -(P)-Ten million Ital-
ians choose between Communism,
Neo-Fascism and Western-style
democracy in 2,400 bitterly-fought
' municipal elections today and to-
morrow.
Experts last night predicted sub-
stantial gains by the extreme
rightist Pro - Fascist - Monarchist
coalition.

HOWEVER, the hard-pressed
.:b-American Ch'istian Demo-
crats expected to regain control of
Rome, home of Roman Catholi-
cism and site of a violent Cor-
munist campaign. Officially neu-
tral, the Roman Catholic Church,
through the semi-offiial L'Osser-
vatore Romano, pleaded with Ital-
ians to rally behind the Christian
Democrat-center bloc.
A surge of Pro-Fascist
strength, dramatized by torch-
light mass meetings of up to
100,000, swept the campaign to
a climax before a 24-hour pre
election truce began Friday at
midnight
Strength of the Pro-Fascist
Italian social movement and its
monarchist ally centers in the
j poverty-stricken south, where vot-
ers disgruntled with the failure
of promised reforms to materi-
alize reduced Christian Democrat
strength by 40 per cent in last
year's elections.
A nip-and-tuck battle between
left, center and right is taking
place in Naples, the south's great-
est port and headquarters of Al-
lied forces, Southern Europe. Even
warty leaders will not predict the
vutcome.

IslandAgain
KOJE ISLAND, Korea -()-
Communist prisoners, shouting,
singing and waving defiant ban-
Ar and red flags from behind
4rbed wire stockades, gave an un-
suly greeting to Britsh and Cana-
dian troops on their arrival here
today.
Red flags were flying again
from at least 12 of the 17 prison
stockades. They had been hauled
down briefly yesterday.
It was the latest symptom that
all was not yet well with the 80,-
000 well-organized North Korean
and Chinese prisoners who are
tightly controlled from inside their
own barbed wire enclosures by
Red commissars.
Yesterday morning the flags
over 12 stockades were hauled
down, but remained fluttering
over five enclosures. By late af-
ternoon they had reappeared in
all but five of the 17 enclosures.
The new display of defiance
came as Brig. Gen. Haydon Boat-
ner fired his deputy commander
and shook up the remaining staff.
He was welding a tough inter-
national security force from five
nations.
Boatner has given fair warning
to die-hard Reds to obey regula-
tions-or face the consequences.

1945 Report,
Of RedPlans
State Department
Reveals Spy Plot
WASHINGTON--(P) -A 1945
Army Intelligence report which
tagged the Chinese Reds as bona
fide, Moscow-directed Commun-
ists was published last night by
the Senate Internal Security Sub-
committee.
The report noted that some ob-
servers then contended the Chi-
nese Communists were agrarian
reforms or democrats and not real
Communists. It said the investi-
gation failed to bear this out.
It also concluded "there is rea-
son to believe that Soviet Russia
plans to create Russian-dominat-
ed areas in Manchuria, Korea and
probably North China."
The 150-page document, pre-
pared before Japan's surrender in
World War II, gave a detailed ac-
count of the history of the Chi-
nese Communists, including their
political and military activities.
The Senatorsnissued it incon-
nection with the year-long inves-
tigation they have been conduct-
ing in a search for any Commun-
ist influences on U.S. Far East-
ern policies.
Meanwhile, Secret State De-
partment documents have reveal-
ed a cloak-and-dagger story of
Russian spies who reached into
the American Embassy in Mos-
cow in 1937 to steal United States
secrets, according to a United
Press report last night.
Amazed American diplomats
discovered a tell-tale microphone
hidden only a few feet from where
Ambassador Joseph E. Davis dic-
tated his top-secret reports to
Washington.
They took swift measures to put
the pipeline out of business, but
they could only guess at the se-
crets that flowed into the Kremlin
in the months-and possibly years
-it was operating.
The papers also showed that
President Roosevelt in 1938, on
the eve of World War II, person-
ally sanctioned a proposal to sell
plans for a 62,000-ton super-bat-
tleship to Russia.
The massive, 1,034-page volume,
made public by the State Depart-
ment, is a somber chronicle of six
years of "frustration" and "disil-
lusionment" in which Soviet Pre-
mier Joseph Stalin and his lieu-
tenants rebuffed President Roose-
velt's patient and persistent efiort
to make friends.

semester will get first crack at the section from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at Barbour
Gymnasium where stubs will be passed out upon presentation of the student's ID card. The stubs
will be redeemable next semester for season tickets. Next fall's juniors will get a chance at the
left over stubs on Wednesday, with sophomores going Thursday.

State Penitentiary for more than
four hours yesterday before a tear
gas barrage broke the spiirt of
their rebellion.
The men started two fires,
smashed furniture and broke win-
dows before state and city police
routed them from their stronghold
in a barricaded recreation hall.
The prisoners had armed them-
selves with butcher knives, and
other crude weapons.
"If anyone tries to go over the
wall stop them, and I don't care
how you do it," Warden L.E. Clapp
angrily told guards. None of the
prisoners tempted Clapp's stern

WASHINGTON-(IP)-Sen. Con-
nally of Texas, Democratic for-
eign policy leader in the Senate,
said yesterday he would conduct
an all-out fight for a foreign aid
bill bigger than the House voted.
The House, with a coalition of
Republicans and a number of
Democrats in control, Friday night
passed a $6,162,000,000 measure to
strengthen foreign nations against
Communism. This was $1,737,000,-
000 less than the $7,900,000,000
President Truman asked.
- * *
TWO SENATE committees have
approved a. billion dollar reduc-
tion in the Truman program,
bringing it down to $6,900,000,000
and Connally will fight to prevent
further cuts in the Senate debate
opening tomorrow.
Advocates of deeper cuts de-
clared the solvency of the Unit-
ed States is a main considera-
tion in erecting defenses against
Communism, and that the bill
contains plenty of water which
can be squeezed out.
The Administration was putting
on a big campaign to cancel out
the House cuts. W. John Kenney,
Deputy Director of the Mutual
Security Agency, held a news con-
ference to declare bitterly:
"The House did a wonderful
job Friday-it voted for defense,
it voted for economic aid, and it
voted for economy, and you just
can't do all that."
* * *
THE $6,900,000,000 bill which
the Senate willhave before it to-
morrow was cleared through two
committees - Foreign Relations
and Armed Services. An attempt
in the latter committee to cut it
by 400 million more was defeated,
seven to six.
Eleven Republican Senators,
led by Sen. Welker of Idaho, will
seek to chop a full billion from
the Senate bill this week.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
chief Taft opponent for the GOP
nomination, has publicly warned
against cutting funds deeper than
the Senate bill.

The Russian note, broadcast
by Moscow Radio, replied to
American, British and French
notes of May 13. The Allies said
at that time they were willing to
join in talks on unifying Ger-
many if the Soviets first agreed
to free all-German elections.
The Russian reply today accus-
ed the U.S. of delaying a treaty
and said the impression is being
created in Germany and else-
where that "the U.S. Government
does not really desire" a German
peace settlement and unification.
The Soviets charged that the
Allies "legalize the reestablish-
ment of a German Army headed
by Nazi Generals and thereby pave
the way for a resurgence of West-

THE U.S., British, and French
Foreign Ministers recessed their
closed sessions early today after
11 hours of negotiations. They
announced another meeting for
10 a.m. (4 a.m. Ann Arbor time)
today.
Despite reported progress in
meeting French objections, it
was still not known whether the
French Parliament will be sat-
isfied enough to ratify the two
pacts, even though Franc's
Foreign Minister may sin
them.
Last night Secretary of State
Acheson's official press spokesman
said that "as far as the Ameri-
cans are concerned, no Frenchman
has ever told us they would not
sign (the accords). We still feel
it will work out and that a peace
settlement will be signed tomor-
row."
Further encouragement was giv-
en in a statement by a French
Cabinet official in Paris that "un-
der present conditions, signature
(of the pacts) could come at the
appointed time.
A main French demand was for
a strong British-American secure
ity guarantee against any chance
of a rearmed Germany's breaking
out of the projected European Ar-
my framework and again embark-
ing on conquest.

Martial law was clamped tday

the provisional capital of Pusan,
as the result of renewed Com-

The new move against guer-

the Republic of Korea Defense
Ministry.
In Washington Gen. Matthew
Ridgway told Senators yesterday
he believed the possibility of the
Russian Air Force entering the
Korean war would be increased if
the United Nations bombed Com-
munist bases in Manchuria.
He also said that UN forces
were not strong enough to drive
the Communists out of North
Korea or to begin bombing of
Manchurian bases.
He concurred with a Senatorial
view that it is beyond the military
command in Korea to end the war
on its own, even if it has the mil-
tary power to do so, and also
agreed that political decisions
must be made in Washington and
Europe to end the conflict.

yesterday some of the results on
the faculty and course evaluation
given by students last fall.
The tabulation of the 37,291
