Final Daily With today's issue, The Daily ceases publication for the Spring. Summer Daily publi- cation will begin June 25. Daily-Matty Kessler EVERYONE WANTS TO GET INTO THE ACT-Since the Union Opera has switched to a Chrislmas tour Santa decided to submit his scenario to Pat Heck, '52, Opera general chairman. * * * Union 'Opera Run Changed From Spring to Christmas By BOB APPLE The dreams of Pat Heck, '53, Union Opera general chairman and his cohorts came true yester- day as the Union Board of Direc- tors approved plans for changing the time of the Opera from spring vacation to Christmas time. This means the show will play in Ann Arbor on Dec. 10 through 12 and then go on the road from Dec. 26 to Jan. 3, 1953. Publicity chairman Harry Blum, '54, announced that the Opera is FacultySe TO Discuss Lecture Bant Responding to a petition signed by 75 members of the Literary College faculty, Dean Burton D. Thuma has called a meeting of the college staff for Monday, June 2 to discuss the speakers ban. Dean Thuma declined to com- ment on any action that might be taken as a result of the meet. ing. The highly controversial Re-1 gents by-law establishing control over speakers invited to the cam- pus by student and faculty groups' has been invoked by the University lecture committee four times dur- ing the past semester. Beginning with Abner Greene, of the American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born, and Arthur McPhaul, executive secretary of the Civil Rights Con- gress, the lecture committee suc- cessively barred William Hood, of Ford Local 600 and most recently Mrs. Anne Shore, organizational director of the Civil Rights Con- gress. Both McPhaul and Mrs. Shorej did pPear publicly in Ann Arbor, howe er. McPhaul spoke at a pri- vate dinner held March 7 in the Union. Mrs. Shore appeared in an off campus debate on genocide with Prof. Preston Slosson of the history department. SL has recently taken a stand on the issue, voting to request the Board of Regents to liberalize the bylaw concerning speakers. now in the process of organizing a more extensive road tour. Be- sides hitting Flint, Detroit, Toledo and Buffalo, Blum said they are also planning to play at other mid-western cities, including pos- sibly Chicago and Cleveland. * * * OPERA'S GENERAL secretary, Mike Scherer, '54, stated that by scheduling the tour for Christmas vacation the Opera's executive board feels they will eliminate many of the conflicts which pre- vailed in the past. Among the dif- ficulties were the migration of many prospective Opera-goers to Florida during spring vacation and the occurrence of religious holidays, Scherer concluded. Heck said "We already have 10 scenarios submitted for next year, but we're looking for more," he stated. "Keeping the action moving, the chorus kick, ing and the audience laughing," he advised scenario writers. Scripts should be turned in at the Union desk before June 16. The lucky winner will see the script put into action in various Midwestern cities under the direc- tion of Fred Evans, imported New York director. He will also have his name ap- pear in many of the leading news- papers in these cities and travel with the Opera. "And don't forget," concluded Heck, "that we need tryouts for our cast. Aspirants for the line or leads can sign up with the Opera starting the second week of next semester." Those who are chosen will have expenses paid by the Opera while on tour. This includes room and board and refreshments enroute and at the cities where the show is put on and attending parties thrown by each city's alumni club after each performance.

Berlin,uPris Communists StageRiots Reds Continue War of Nerves BERLIN -(A')- Fifteen thou- sand Comunists, surging in from the Russian zone for an anti- western demonstration, touched off a savage clash with West Ber- lin police yesterday in a growing war of nerves. Club-swinging police wounded hundreds of the invaders, arrested 300 and broke up the demonstra- tion after an hour of milling in the downtown borough of Kreuz- berg, in the American sector. Tear gas squads were ready, but were never needed. There was no gunfire. The Communist pattern of trouble-making was as clear, how- ever, as it was in the anti-western rioting in Paris less than 24 hours before. * * * THE FRENCH Red boss, Jacques Duclos, was charged in Paris yes- terday with plotting against the internal security of France by in- citing riots as a front for Red revolution. His labor supporters called a strike. The ostensible tar- get of the French demonstrations was Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, who succeeds Gen. Ddight D. Eis- enhower today as Supreme Com- mander of the North Atlantic Alliance. Berlin is a convenient target in the Communist fight against NATO and related pactslining up West Germans with the West. The riot was set off by a group of a thousand brawny Communists distributing leaflets denouncing West Germany's newly signed peace contract with the allies and calling for German unity, Soviet style. After a series of short but sharp brawls with highly trained West Berlin police platoons, the row- dies were shoved into side streets and dispersed. Most of the other demonstrators, teen-age youths, kept out of the fight. Reports that 25,000 strongarm men had been ordered into other areas in the United States, British and French sectors kept police on the alert, but proved unfounded. The rioting was timed with a visit of British foreign secretary Anthony Eden, who told West Berlin's Parliament and people to stand firm. Barkley Bids For Party's Nomination By The Associated Press Vice president Alben W. Bark- ley, veteran of 39 years in Con- gress and renowned stump speak- er, today became the sixth avowed candidate for the Demo- cratic presidential nomination. He issued a brief statement that he would accept the nomination if tendered. The 74 year old Kentuckian thus said what he had been on the verge of saying ever since President Truman took himself out of the running March 29. Barkley's entry scrambled the race for the top prize in his party into a bigger omelet than ever. He also made it difficult for the President to pick a pre- convention favorite if he desires to do so. Including Barkley sev- eral close friends of Truman are now avowed or strongly poten- tial candidates. Barkley opened his announce- ment by thanking Kentucky Dem- ocrats that endorsed him for Pres- ident. iMeet Begins 1 1 Memorial Day While Ann Arbor has observ- ed the national holiday two days early and the University has made no special plans for the day, Governor Williams has proclaimed today as Memorial Day in the State of Michigan. The governor urged the peo- ple "to display the flag of the United States and rededicate themselves to the fundamental truths that have made America a leader among the nations of the world."

Two North Korean prisoners of war were killed and two others were wounded today when a work party attacked two American and two South Korean guards. Another prisoner was killed and a second wounded at Koje in the accidental discharge of a guard's machinegun. ** * THIS FOLLOWED after about 100 Allied troops with bayonet and tear gas had raided an unruly compound containing 3,350 tou.gh Red prisoners, destroying their headquarters, and emerged with Red flags and knives without spill- ing a drop of blood. It was the first big show of force inside ay of the 1 com- pounds since disorders flared early in May on this South Kor- ean island wher 80,000 pris- oners of war are held. Two hours later, a U.S. soldier guard taking his position in a tower accidentally discharged his automatic rifle into the seething compound, killing one prisoner and wounding another. The trouble had begun when guards spotted Red prisoners try- ing to chop a hole through an inner barbed wire fence that bars the way to an area-way leading to the outer gate. AUTHORITIES emphasized that the show of force in compound 66 was not part of the planned move- ment of prisoners to smaller com- pounds. This movement is expected to come in about a week, and a showdown is likely then. Meanwhile, at the front, two North Korean companies today renewed a month-long assault for a dominant East Korean peak dubbed by the GI's who hold it, "Luke the Gook's Castle." Allied forces beat the Communists off after four houres of intense fight- ing. Ground action elsewhere along the front was minor. HST Requests Atomic Funds WASHINGTON-(A)--President Truman' asked Congress yesterday to vote more than three and a third billion dollars to step-up the nation's atomic weapons program. He said the money would pro- vide for a "major further expan- sion" over a five-year period. "The national security and the security of the free world," Tru- man said in letters to Congression- al leaders, "demand that we main- tain and increase our leadership in this field. The President gave no details of the projected $3,341,000,000 ex- pansion, saying only that it would "provide greater capacity for the production of fissionable mater- ials and for the fabrication of such materials into atomic weapons."
