LXII, No. 169 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1952 EIGHT PAGES New Judic Plan Hits Serious Snag Regents Refuse To Give Approval To New Constitution, SAC Told By CRAWFORD YOUNG The new constitution for the Joint Judiciary Council has hit a serious snag. The document, which provided for a more representative and centralized student judiciary system, was not passed by the Board of Regents at last Friday's meeting as had been hoped by the Judiciary, the Student Affairs Committee was informed yesterday. THE FIVE APPOINTMENTS made May 15 to the Joint Judiciary under the provisions of the new constitution are apparently to all intents and purposes nullified. A close study of the University regulations showed that the constitution should have been approved by the Committee on Stu- dent Conduct instead of the SAC, which gave final approval by ,}unanimous vote May 6, after Band Entertains Crowd .E ast eets tiffer West s Arms. fItaly 's Right Wing Gains In Election. ROME- (P)-Premier Alcide De Gasperi's Democratic forces re- tained control of Rome and as- sorted provincial capitals, but election tides swept six key south- ern cities into the hands of a Fascist-Monarchist combine yes- terday. Pressed hard by the Communist- led left and the Fascist-Monarch- ist right, the Christian Democrats and their middle-ground allies appeared holding firmly to a ma- jority of the 2,400 municipalities which chose new councils Sunday and Monday. HOWEVER, a potential threat to De Gasperi's pro-Western na- tional government was spotlighted by the. gains of the Fascist Ital- tan Social Movement, which ven- erates the memory of Mussolini, and the Monarchists, who seek the return of royalty. They captured Naples, now Allied Headquarters for South- ern Europe; the key Adriatic port of Bari, through which U. S. arms pour into Italy; Fog- gia, a wartime Allied air base; Salerno, where Allied troops landed to deal a death blow to Mussolini's rule and the cities of Avellino and Benevento. The Communists held tightly to five provincial capitals they first won in elections of 1946. These were Ferrara, Rieti, Terni, Aosta and Perugia. The Communists also won 22 of the Rome Province Council's 45 seats. However, un- der Italian law these councils play a minor role in local governments. Returns from the smaller cities and towns were slow. An official tabulation of early returns showed the Christian Dem- ocrats and their allies had won 364 towns; Communists and pro- Communist Socialists 187; and the Fascist-Monarchist combine 51. Wayne Head Gets New Job DETROIT-(A)--David D. Hen- ry, Wayne University president since 1945 and a leader of its large-scale building program, dis- closed yesterday he had accepted the post of Executive Vice-Chan- cellor of New York University. The 46-year-old educator will take over his new duties in Sep- tember. His formal resignation will be presented to the Detroit Board of Education on June 10 when some preliminary action towards finding his successor will be made. A native of McKeesport, Pa., Dr. Henry was graduated from Penn- sylvania State College in 1925 and taught there for two years before coming to Michigan. SL Will Collect Books for Fall The Student Legislature will be collecting books for the fall book exchange from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 devoting considerable time to a couple of controversial clauses in the document. It was pointed out that the Joint Judiciary in any campus structural table falls below the University Sub-Committee on Dis- cipline, a sub-group of the student conduct committee. THE STUDENT conduct group is an unwieldy, cumbersome body composed of all the deans and directors of the University, plus four students. The committee, which is chaired by Dean of Stu- dents Erich A. Walter, has not met for over two years. Itsfunc- tions are not clearly, defined. However, it was emphasized that this channel must probably be followed before the constitu- tion wins approval by the Re- gents. Meanwhile, the student judicial operations will revert to the pro- cedure used before the SAC gave apparently superfluous approval to the new constitution. Under this set-up, the Joint Ju- diciary was composed of four members of Men's Judiciary, four members from Women's Judiciary, and a chairman, alternating in sex each year. * * * MEN'S JUDICIARY is selected by the Student Legislature Cabi- net, while Women's Judiciary is picked by the League Interviewing Board. Under the new constitution,. selections would be made by a special Interviewing Committee composed of the president, vice- president, treasurer and recording secretary of SL, and the president and interviewing board chairman of the League, with the chairman and vice-chairman of Joint Judi- ciary advising. The biggest fly in the oint- ment in quietly reverting to the former procedure seems to be the five already named by the interviewing group to Joint Ju- diciary. These were Joel Billar, 54L, Vernon Emerson, '52, Cy- rille Landes, '53, Alberta Cohrt, '52SM, and Leah Marks, '52. The SL cabinet quickly named Billar and Emerson to Men's Judi- ciary Monday, making them offi- cial members of the joint council. However, it was felt in several quarters that it would be unfair to the members of the League Inter- viewing Board to railroad through See JOINT, Page 3 -Daily-Alan Reid TWILIGHT CONCERT-Students and townspeople seated on "The Mall" enjoy the music of the 'University Symphony Band augmented by the Varsity Band, conducted by Prof. William D.

Des GOP Battle as Ike With Nations Sign Agreements For Defense Links NATO with European Army PARIS-R)-Statesmen of the West signed yesterday a series of historic agreements cementing free Europe's defense and solemn- ly warning the Communist world to keep hands off. In a day of momentous events, the representatives of 15 nations signed a series of treaties and protocols linking the full power of the North Atlantic Alliance with a European Army, including West Germany, and pledging the com- bined might of the west to fight if any one nation should be at- tacked. * * * U.S. SECRETARY of State Dean Acheson hailed the signing as "one of the most important and far reaching events of our lifetime." Six Western European nations signed a pact committing them to build a million-man army un- der unified command. The Unit- ed States, Britain and France issued a portentous declaration in support. The Big Three warned the Sov- iet Union that any attack on any part of free Europe-including Berlin or West Germany-would be received as a threat to the se- curity of the Big Three. MEANWHILE in Bonn the West German government made public an agreement with the Western Allies that German troops would C.> TrailsTaft by By The Associated Press Presidential primaries, conven- tion walkouts and demands of battling Republican and Demo- cratic presidential candidates for more equalized publicity grabbed' the political headlines yesterday. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower pulled within 20 votes of Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-O.) in the con- test for Republican presidential nominating delegates by winning Senate Defeats One Reduction;, Fights Other WASHINGTON-- (M --Demo- cratic leaders in the Senate stav- ed off a new cut of a billion dol- lars in the foreign aid bill yester- day, but face a tough fight today to defeat a half billion dollar re- duction. President Truman recommended a $7,900,000,000 bill to strengthen foreign nations against Commun- ism in the year starting July 1, 1952. The Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee decided that $6,- 900,000,000 was enough, and re- duced the measure to that amount. * * * SENATOR Welker (R.-Ida.) and 10 other Republicans who called for another billion dollar slash, were defeated 35 to 27 on a roll- call vote. Welker and his associates are now sponsoring a proposal for a cut of a half billion, which may draw significantly more support when it is voted on today. Sen. Carlson (R.-K an.),one of the leaders of the Eisenhower-for- President movement, said yester- day he will vote to cut 500 mil- lion from the bill. He voted against the billion dollar cut. 22 Ballots at least 20 of Connecticut's 22 bal- lots. IN TEXAS, bitter divisions with- in both Republican and Democra- tic parties erupted in disorder and conventions walkouts that will send contesting delegations to the Chicago conventions in July. On the Republican side in Texas Taft supporters took over the convention at Mineral Wells and named 8 uninstructed can- and named 38 untxstructed can- didates, of whom 35 favor Taft and three are for Eisenhower. Most Eisenhower supporters, however, walked out yelling pro- tests when the convention seated Taft delegations from many parts of the state, and held their own meeting. They named 33 unin- structed delegates known to back the general and five who are defi- nitely instructed for Taft., SEN. RICHARD B. RUSSELL (D-Ga.) piled up a 17-to-7 lead last night over Sen. Kefauver (D- Tenn.) in their primary contest for Florida's 24 delegates to the Democratic presidential nominat- ing convention. In Washington, meanwhile, Senators Taft and Kefauver de- manded radio and television time equal to what Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gets for his Abi- lene, Kans., speech June 4. Both presidential candidates ad- dressed demands to three nation- al radio networks, charging them with providing unprecedented cov- erage- for Eisenhower's homecom- ing speech and asking increases in their own radio time.

NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE: True Talks .Critic al; Reds Threaten Offense By The Associated Press The bitter and prolonged Korean armistice talks entered a more critical phase today as the threat of a Communist spring offensive hung like a thundercloud over the battlefield. After nearly 11 months of wearying negotiations a truce seemed farther away than ever-but both sides agreed to meet again today at Panmunjom at 9 p.m. Ann Arbor time. * * * * THE TOP TRUCE teams reconvened yesterday after a three-day recess. Even before the Allied delegation took their seats in the dusty, weather-bleached tent, North Korean Gen. Nam Il said angrily: "The Korean Peoples Army and the Chinese Peoples Volunteers decidedly cannot sit by while seeing their captured fellow com- batants being slaughtered by your side at will." Pact Stand E. German Police Ready For Action Communications Slowed by Reds BERLIN-(R)- The Communist East German Government yester- day told Red Secret Police they could shoot to kill anyone found without proper authorization in a newly-created no-man's-land at the tense West German border. Creation of the three-mile-wide zone was one in a series of retali- atory moves aimed at West Ger- many for signing a separate peace contract with Britain, France and the U.S. EAST GERMANY also cut off all telephone service between West Berlin and the Russian sector and some long distance lines to West Germany. It adopted a new for- mula for transit visas which could strangle traffic between West Ber- lin and the Bonn Republic. With these steps East' Ger- many has created machinery which requires only a little tightening to blockade- Berlin. A senior allied official said: "They have now arranged things so that we have the alternative of slowly watching West Berlin wither away, put the entire place on the dole, or start up an airlift (as was done in 1948-49 to break the blockade). If they claim the skies above their heads too, that's IN PARIS, the Big Three West- ern Powers said they would regard aggression against Berlin as a threat to their own security. The new visa formula requires all Germans to get an East Ger- man permit before setting foot on East German soil. There are 100 miles of this soil between. Berlin and the West. The series of steps, with every sign that there were more to come, appeared to be based on Commun- ist reasoning that signing of the peace contract torpedoed the Pots- dam agreement of 1945 which set up the rights West Berlin enjoyed in its relations with the West. New Rushing Plan f or Fall OK'd by SAC Revised rushing procedures for both fraternities and sororities won approval from the Student Affairs Committee yesterday. The Interfraternity Council put before the SAC an amended set of rushing by-laws, containing three notable changes: 1. The rushee will not pay the $2 rushing fee till1he signs a pledge card. At present, the $2 is paid when the student registers for rushing. 2. An informal pledging per- iod from the fifth to the fif- teenth weeks of the semester will be held. This was adopted dur- ing this past semester on an ex- perimental basis, and was ap- proved as a permanent fixture by the SAC with the reservation that the policy would be subject to review after a two-year trial period. 3. Appeals on decisions of the Executive Committee. on rushing violations will be made to the Men's Judiciary, instead of the House President's Assembly. Panhellenic Association won final approval for the fall rushing scheme. Next year, sororities will rush from Sept. 20 to Oct. 4. The usual 2.0 academic require- ments for initiation will be in 'Ensian Those students that have not picked up their 'Ensians yet must do so between 3 and 5 p.m. today and tomorrow afternoon at the Student Publications Bldg. be supplied with Atomic weapons and guided missles "on exactly as favorable a basis" as other units of the European army. The German government promised however, that strategic weapons will not be made on German soil without permission of the European defense com- munity. The agreement will become ef- fective when German troops join the European Army, was con- tained in an exchange of letters between Bonn, the European Army nations and the U.S. and Britain. The ban on German manufac- ture covered Atomic weapons, chemical and germ warfare weap- ons, long range or guided missles, naval vessels other than minor de- fense craft and military aircraft. ISA Names Six New Officers Six new officers have been elect- ed by the International Students Association. They are: Taffara de Guefe, president, and George Messer- smith, Grad., and Sui-lin Ling, '52E, vice - presidents.

TUCSON, Ariz. - A military smoke bomb was set off in a wo- men's dormitory on the University of Arizona campus yesterday, and 30 coeds were .overcome as 175 occupants fled the sickening fumes. Sheriff's deputies arrested three male students and were hunting a fourth as 30 girls were treated for LANSING-('P)-A bill provid- ing electrocution of convicted fel- ons who commit murder while in custody squeaked through the House yesterday 51-27. Opposed by Democrats as "the easy way out" and "hysteria fol- lowing the Southern Michigan prison riots," the measure attract- ed support from some Republicans who normally oppose general cap- ital punishment. AN AMENDMENT to submit tho measure to a popular vote before it became effective was defeated. A threatened amendment to change the bill into one provid- ing electrocution for all first de- gree murderers never was offered. It was a reference to Commun- ist charges of maltreatment of Red prisoners-a charge constant- ly repeated at Panmunjom and by Red propaganda broadcasts-but this time it -was much stronger. * * * ON THE battlefront itself only the clash of patrols and an air battle broke the quiet. During the more than 10 months of truce negotiations, the Communists have built up a strong striking force. * * * IN PUSAN a deepening" poli- tical crisis in South Korea prompt ed secret conferences yesterday be- tween President Syngman Rhee, Gen. James A. Van Fleet and top diplomatic officials. Results of the session were not -disclosed. A sources close to the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea said members expressed "deep concern" about the situa- tion. WAYNE 'U' SUPPORTS EX-RED: Professor 'W ill Resign If Necessary' By EUGENE HARTWIG Lashing out at what he termed the "contradictions and confusion of the Republican party," Prof. John P. Dawson of the law school, in a speech last night be- fore the Ann Arbor Democratic Party organization announced his candidacy for congress from the Seventh Congressional District. Dawson named foreign policy as the chief issue in the coming cam- paign. He described GOP foreign policy as a three-way split between carrying on a irresponsible cam- paign of deception and confusion for partisan reasons," Dawson re- minded. Claiming General Dwight D. Eisenhower as his personal choice for the GOP nomination because of his excellent qualifi- cations, Dawson predicted a sharp decline in the General's popularity as he begins to make known his views on foreign and domestic issues. In remarks prior to introducing By RUSS AU WERTER Revealed as a former Commun- ist by Whittaker Chambers new book "Witness," a former Univer- sity graduate student and present head of Wayne University's Com- puting Laboratory told the Daily yesterday "I will resign my posi- tion if the publicity caused by me in any way throws a bad light on Recalling Jacobson as a "ner- and petulant Communist party member," Chambers accused him of serving as an "underground agent" in Finland. Jacobson says that he was in Finland in 1933 (spending over two years in jail until the State Department obtained his release in by the FBI. While he was with Ford, Jacobson co-authored an in- spection manual of the Pratt & Whitney aircraft engine.
