STEPPING OFF from the Rack-
ham Mall at 7 p.m. yesterday,
30 local groups wound their way
through the city to the sound of
bands and the throbbing of drums
in a pre-Memorial Day parade.
Explaining the reason for hold-
ing the parade two days in ad-
vance of the regular National holi-
day . Friday, general chairman
Thomas A. FitzGerald said it was
to enable all groups to be fully
represented.
The parade, consisting of vet-

eran, fraternal and school or-
ganizations led by massed Amer-

short course passing the review-
ing stand on the court house
lawn.
Immediately following the pa-
rade, Mrs. William H'eusel, a Gold
Star mother, placed a wreath on
the Civil War Monument on the
court house lawn. Three volleys
in tribute to the dead were then
fired by the Dexter American Le-
gion Marksmen Squad followed by
the playing of "Taps."'

SL To Drop
TugWeekend
Next Term
Vote To Accept
AIM Equipment
By HARRY LUNN
By a unanimous vote the Stu-
dent Legislature last night decided
to discontinue sponsorship of Tug
Weekend, including the tradition-
al Soph Satire and tug-of-war.
The new policy will not prevent
SL from encouraging or assisting
other student groups undertaking
these projects but will remove SL's
responsibility for the activities.
Currently the League, the Union
and the Wolverine Club are study-
ing plans to hold some kind of
Tug Weekend program during the
November 8-9 football weekend
when Cornell plays here.
* * *
ACTING ON the controversial
AIM office equipment problem,
members agreed by a close 19-15
margin to accept the equipment
and, in return, to loan the "Little
Club" up to $160. When AIM dis-
banded earlier this semester, their
officers still held possession of the
office supplies.
Dissension has centered
around the question of whether
the supplies should go to the
new Tri-Quad Council or be held
for a future organization model-
ed after AIM.
AIM representatives have char-
ged that the Tri-Quad Council
helped bring about the downfall
of their organization and request-
ed that the equipment not go to
the Council.
* * *
LAST WEEK a similar SL mo-
tion failed after heated debate in
which some members argued that
SL would be considered as favor-
ing the AIM position if it accept-
ed the office material. However,
Bob Ely, '54, who sponsored last
night's motion, emphasized that
it should not be "construed in any
way to condemn or condone the
events surrounding the disbanding
of AIM."
Included in the transfer are a
typewriter, a mimeograph ma-
chine, filing cabinets and mis-
cellaneous supplies. The equip-
ment will be collateral for any
loan extended to the Little Club..
A proviso in the agreement would
turn the materials back to a re-
cognized campus group similar to
AIM if such a group included re-
presentatives of independent men
living outside of University dormi-
tories. If no organization meeting
this specification is set up by June
1, 1960, the equipment will go free
and clear to SL.
A separate motion by Keith
Beers, '52E, to buy the, equipment
outright for $125 or less was de-
feated 13-12.
Members briefly discussed a
University suggestion that SL
move from their present head-
quarters at 122 S. Forest to the
Journalism Bldg. on State St. Phil
Berry, '52 BAd, reported that the
offer would include all of the sec-
ond floor and two-thirds of the
first floor of the old building
which will be vacated this fall
when the journalism department
moves to new quarters in Angell
Hall.

Rhee Ignores
Vote to End
Martial .Law
By The Associated Press
Korean President Syngman Rhee
ignored the National Assembly
yesterday and continued martial
law in Pusan, the Korean capital.
Allied quarters were reportedly
trying to coax him to relent. There
also were reports that even some
of the, South Korean Army's
higher officers were beginning to
doubt the wisdom of Rhee's'course.
The Army has backed Rhee in his
long feud with the Assembly.
The Assembly yesterday voted
96 to 3 to end the martial law
Rhee proclaimed for Pusan last
Saturday. Rhee did not comply,
apparently on the theory that his
implied powers under the consti-
tution took precedence over an
act which allows the assembly to
end martial law.

MEANWHILE, on Koje Island,
a staff officer said at least 457
Red war prisoners had broken out
of this tough island prison but
"no one really knows" how many
have got away.
In London, Prime Minister
Churchill said yesterday the Com-
munist Army in Korea has been
built up to nearly a million men
during the long truce talks and
"the situation is very grave."
But he told the House of Com-
mons "the United Nations com-
mander-an American general
-on the spot believes UN forces
are capable of holding a violent
offensive should it be made
against them on the breakdown
of peace negotiations."
On the battlefront, the Com-
munists hurled the heaviest ar-
tillery and mortar barrages of
the year at the Allies yesterday in
thunderous emphasis of Red
threats to renew heavy fighting in
Korea.

Cmunist Mob
Protests Ridgway
Arrival in Paris
Number One Red Leader Duclos
Arrested During Violent Rioting
PARIS--(R)-Jacques Duclos, France's No. one Communist, was
arrested last night during violent riots against the arrival of Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway as European Defense Commander.
At least one rioter was killed, 20 police needed hospital treatment
and about 80 other persons were arrested of the thousands who took
part in the demonstrations.
The Reds were charged with a revolutionary conspiracy against
the republic.
AT A DRAMATIC midnight news conference. the cabinet's
police chief said the uprising had been conquered and "we will al-
ways be masters of the situation.
The Red boss, Jacques Duclos,
Secretary of the French Com-
munist Party, was- arrested at
his car during the armed Red
rioting.
Police said they found in the
car a loaded revolver, a blackjack,
a special radio receiver and, under
a blanket, a covey of carrier
pigeons.
* * *
FRENCH police, outnumbered
at some places against Red at-
tacks with spiked clubs and other
weapons, put down the uprising
that swirled on several fronts
through the bloodied streets of
Paris.,
One man was killed in the
rioting. He was identified as a
resident of the Northern Parisi-
an suburb of Aubervilliers. He
was fatally injured in the fight-
ing around the Gare de L'est
(East Station) which handles
traffic from the east and serves
many commuters.
An American reporter at the
Gare de L'est said the police were
outnumbered 10 to one by the
rioters and fired into the mob.
REPORTS late last night indi-
cated nearly 100 persons in all
were injured in Paris. At least 20
police needed hospital treatment
and 20 more had to have first aid.
The main Communist weap-
ons were clubs studded with
nails, metal folding chairs and
blackjacks.
Interior Minister Charles Brune
held the extraordinary midnight
news conference to tell reporters
France is, and will remain, in
control against Communism.
HE SAID the Communists are
using the name of Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway as a pretext for mak-
ing attempts against the security
of the French Republic. Ridgway
is succeeding Gen. Dwight D. Eis-
enhower as commander of Allied
Forces in Europe.
"Armed commandos of the
Communist party," he declared,
"have in effect attempted a con-
spiracy against our republican
institutions."
He said Duclos was caught red-
handed and was arrested at once.
Brune refused to tell reporters
where Duclos is being held..
Dispatches from over the coun-
try indicated similar demonstra-
tions were called by French Com-
munists against Ridgway.
At Nice, on the Riviera, mobile
guardsmen used tear-gas on
crowds screaming anti-American
slogans.
In Marseille, the big Mediter-
ranean port city, 150 demonstrat-
ors were arrested in a four-hour
battle with police.
Rise in Food
yPricesOK'd
WASHINGTON-(UP)-The gov-
ernment last night authorized an
estimated 350,000 retail grocers to
boost their ceilings about a penny
each on hundreds of food items.
Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall said
the increases mean the public food
bill will go up between 100 and 150
million dollars a year.
* * *
ARNALL TOLD a news confer-
ence the increases were granted
after repeated requests from the
food industry.
The Office of Price Stabiliza-
tion said that translated into
terms of the family budget, the
increase is expected to average
five cents per week for each fa-
mily.
It is said that, percentage wise,
the increase.-is small in relation to
the nearly 32 billion dollar busi-
ness done by the food industry
yearly.
The higher ceilings, effective
June 2, apply in both independent
and chain stores. They result from
higher markups granted the groc-
ers. A markup is the difference
between cost to the grocer and his
selling price.
On some of the affected items,
OPS said, the higher margins will
not result in higher retail ceilings
or selling prices.
New South Quad
Officers Elected
New president of South Quad-
rangle by a vote of the South
Quad Council is Chuck Weber, '53,
practices. He added that the gen-
eral investigation was authorized
a year ago and takes in all mem-
bers of the Conference.
Musetti, regarded as one of
the best backs in Detroit high
school football last fall, gradu-
ated from Denby high school in
February and took up residence
in the South Quadrangle for the
spring semester.
Two days later he disappeared
here and turned up at Michigan
State.
* * *
WILSON visited East Lansing a
few days after Musetti appeared
there, but the visit was for "other
business. I didn't check into the
case myself," the Conference Com-
missioner asserted.
Before Wilson's report, how-
ever, football coaches and ath-
letic directors will have com-
piled the football schedules for
1955 and 1956.
They went into closed session
yesterday for that purpose as the
first order of business at the an-
nual four-day meeting of Confer-
ence officials. The meeting is be-
ing held in conjunction with the
track and field championships on
Ferry Field tomorrow and Satur-
day.
An announcement on the sched-
ules is expected after further de-
liberations today.
The Michigan State delegation
of Athletic Director Ralph Young
and Coach Biggie Munn are avow-
edly dedicated to a better break
for MSC on scheduling.
For 1953 and '54 State has only
two home Conference games each
season. "We will go to Iowa those
two years, and, the way we look
at it, Iowa owes us two games at
East Lansing; that goes for other
Cut Foreign
Aid Bill Gets
SenateOK
WASHINGTON-(A)-The Sen-
ate passed a $6,700,000,000 foreign
aid bill last night after making an
eleventh hour cut of 200 million
dollars.
President Truman had asked
for $7,900,000,000, but Senate com-
mittees knocked out one billion
before the bill reached the floor.
ADMINISTRATION leaders then
staved off additional cuts of one
billion, 500 million and 400 million.
They were unable, however, to
defeat an amendment by Sen.
Long (D-La.) for an across-
the board cut of 200 million.
Long'- amendment, one of the
last considered before a vote
was taken on final passage, was
adopted by a three-vote margin
-37 to 34.
The roll call vote was 64 to 10.
The big mutual security meas-
ure-one of the "must" bills on
the Administration slate this ses-
sion-now goes to conference with
the House, where a companion bill
was chopped down to $6,162,600,-
000 before passage last week.
THE LEGISLATION authorizes
American military and economic
aid to a world-wide chain of na-
tions allied with this country
against Communist aggression and
threats of aggression.
It must be followed by an
appropriations measure which
would actually make the money
available for the fiscal year
starting July 1.
On the final roll call 39 Demo-
crats and 25 Republicans voted
for the bill. One Democrat, Olin
Johnston (D-S.C.), and nine Rte-
publicans opposed it.
* * * *
TWENTY-SIX Republicans and
11 Democrats, mostly Southerners,
joined forces to cut the bill 200
million on the floor.
Voting against the cut were
27 Democrats and seven Repub-
licans.
Administration leaders avoided
bigger cuts with the help of a
group of Republican senators who
are supporting Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower for the presidential
nomination.
MOST REPUBLICANS who are
supporting Sen. Robert A. Taft
of Ohio for the nomination voted
in favor of cutting.
Sen. Kem (R-Mo.) won ap-
proval of an amendment that
he said would cut off aid or a-
sistance to any nation which
exported military materials or
conunodities to Russia or other
Iron Curtain countries.
He said England sold Russia
nearly 50 million dollars worth
of rubber the first three months
of this year and other Western
European nations are selling war
potential goods behind the iron
curtain.
