Committee Bans Probe ofClergy Velde Rebuked by House Group In Unanimous Closed Door Vote The House Un-American Activities Committee acted unanimously yesterday to bar Chairman Harold Velde (R-Ill.) from investigating the Anation's clergy for traces of Red infiltration 'or from launching any other new inquiry without the committee approval. Committee members said that a resolution by Rep. Walter (D-Pa.) was adopted to put a check-rein on Velde's powers, according to the United Press. * * * * REP. KEARNEY of New York, ranking Republican behind the 'chairman, seconded the resolution. Walter drafted his resolutionv after Velde said Monday night in a broadcast that the committee Wright investigate Red infiltra- tion of churches. Velde said he had no objection and told re- porters he always has favored full committee approval of any inquiry. The Republican chairman con- tended however that the action had only been discussed and that no vote had been taken. ACCORDING to Walter, Kear- ney and other members of the. J committee the measure was adopt- ed unanimously. The resolution was proposed in a closed session after a public meeting that had been called to ,heck into what Velde termed an espionage ring involving school teachers whose "whole ob- jective was to obtain Govern- ment secrets." The first witness scheduled to appear, Prof. Abraham Glasser of Rutgers University, did not testi- fy when the committee granted his request that his testimony be postponed until next Wednesday because of the illness of his at- torney's wife. * * * AFTER WINNING postpone- ment, Glasser distributed to the press copies of a statement in which he accused the committee of trying to destroy his reputation. He challenged its right to rake over 16-year-old disloyalty charges " ong since put, to rest.' Mimes Banquet To Be Held Today More than 75 alumni of Mimes, Michigan Union Opera honorary, will be in Ann Arbor today for the annual Mimes Banquet which will be held at 6 p.m. in the Un- ion. Senate Calls For Probe Of Shortage WASHINGTON-(AP)-The Sen- ate armed services committee yes- terday ordered a full-fledged in- vestigation into ammunition short- ages in Korea and declared that complaints by Gen. James A. Van Fleet have been "fully substan- tiated.," Chairman Saltonstall (R-Mass.) said the inquiry by a special five- man subcommittee will attempt to pin down responsibility for the shortages. "We want to see if the short- ages resulted from too much but- ter and not enough guns," Salton- stall said. * * * BUT THE Massachusetts sena- tor also made it clear that the in- vestigation will get down to per- sonalities, as well as economic fac- tors, and is designed to meet a de- mand by Sen. Byrd (D-Va.) that any offenders be punished. The committee's action top- Ped off a congressional furore over Van Fleet's sworn testimony that serious and at times criti- cal shortages of ammunition handicapped American troops throughout his 22 months as commander of the U. S. 8th army in Korea. The four-star general, whotre- tires March 31, 'testified that shortages in some types of am- munition-notably artillery shells -exist even now despite the fact that he submitted almost daily reports on the subject to Wash- ington. 'Partial' War Must Go On, EdenSays Minister Sees No Way Out in Korea NEW YORK-(W)-British For- eign Secretary Anthony Eden told the United States last night it must continue to fight only a par- tial war in Korea. In a major foreign policy ad- dress, he conceded this is a thank- less assignment and said: ' "It is one thing for a nation to throw its entire strength into a fight for survival. It is an- other to conduct a partial war with ull kinds of restraints upon your action. "And yet we know that these restraints must be maintained." . * * * EDEN OFFERED his prepared address before the Foreign Pol- icy Association, a non-profit na- tional educational organization de- voted to public understanding of internatignal affairs. The urbane . British Cabinet . member came here after top- level policy talks in Washing- ton with President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles. Eden's was a frankly defensive speech for the most part as he assayed to answer many of the criticisms raised against British foreign policy. * * * HE MADE a last minute inser- tion in his speech to touch on the shooting down today of a RAF bomber by Soviet aircraft. Eden said the U. S. and Brit- ain still are ready to negotiate with Russia, despite Stalin's death. He added that a like in- tention from Russia would be welcome. Then he deviated from his orig- inal text to say: "There is nothing of the kind up to the present. On the con- trary we have today heard of the shooting down . . . of a RAF bomber . . . Deliberate and un- provoked attacks of this kind by what are supposed to be friendly forces can only be called barbaric." Eden praised the U. S. for bear- ing the heaviest burden of the Korean War despite the restraints placed upon its conduct. He did not enumerate the restraints, al- though he obviously referred to efforts to keep the war from spreading. Petitions Candidates for the all cam- pus elections should turn in their statements and petitions at the SL Bldg. by 3 p.m. to- morrow in order that their names may be included in the "Know Your Candiate" pam- phlet,' according to Phil Berry, '53BAd., elections director.

English Fire On Fighters, RedsCharge United Kingdom Drafts Protest .By The Associated Press LUENEBURG, Germany -'Two Soviet MIG jets shot down a four- engine British bomber in flames yesterday after a swift foray above the Elbe River Valley at the East- West frontier of Germany. The Russians claimed the Brit- ish plane opened fire first. The Russian reply, broadcast by Mos- cow radio soon after the British government had ordered a strong protest of its own filed, also claim- ed the bomber was violating the Soviet zone of Germany when it was brought down, * * *. THE INCIDENT killed five of the bomber's seven crewmen and heightened tension built up since the destruction Tuesday of a U. S. Thunderiet by two Czechoslovak fighter pilots over Germany. The Russian reply said one of the bomber's crewmen was in Soviet hands. It said he was wounded and had been taken to the hospital. The British Air Ministry pre- viously had said that six of the seven crewmen were killed. BRITAIN'S protest to the Rus- sians was not made public im- mediately. The twin incidents, coming right after a new Soviet government took office, raised the spectre of crisis in a Europe still pondering implications of the rise of Georgi Malenkov as Stalin's successor in the Kremlin. The British charged Thurs- day's attack was deliberate. They drafted a stiff protest to Rus- sia demanding reparations and punishment of "those respon- sible for this outrage." The reply broadcast by Russia was sent in a letter to Sir IV-one Kirkpatrick, British high commis- sioner in Germany, from Soviet Gen. Vasili Chuikov. It declared the British bomber had "penetrat- ed 120 kilometers" 72 miles into Germany's Soviet zone. THE RUSSIAN charge of ter- ritorial violation has been stand- ard Communist practice in such cases. Czechoslovakia used it in replying to a U. S. protest over Tuesday's incident. Chiukov's letter described yes- terd'ay's incident as "regrettable" but protested at the same time against the alleged violation of Soviet zone air space. Britain's Air Ministry said the fatal strike came in the Hamburg- Berlin air corridor less than two hours after two Soviet fighters had made a "threatening mock attack" on another British bomber 100 miles deep in the Russian zone. It is one of three such aerial lanes, 20 miles wide used by Allied air- craft for eight years under four- power agreement. The main wreckage of the Brit- ish bomber blasted apart fell burn- ing into Soviet territory on the east bank of the Elbe. Other debris dropped in British territory on tle west bank and the 'wounded pilot parachuted safely to Western soil. FOOTBALL HERO: Dick Kempthorn Stars 1On Korean Battlefield Tv * * * On the football field or the air- field, former All-American foot- ball star Dick Kempthorn, '50, fits the role of a hero. Now in Korea, the brilliant line- backer who played on the 1947 Rose Bowl team, one of the na- tion's finest defensive stars in s" 1948, h7as been cited for heroism in saving the life of a fellow pilot. * * * AIR FORCE officials credit Kempthorn with saving Lt. Henry Rocks of Brooklyn from burning to death after a crash. The crash' took place at the Itazuke Air Base .' in Southern Japan, when Rock's plane collided with another plane. Kempthorn sprinted 200 yards to the crash scene, jumped on the wing and ripped loose the 4* canopy of bullet-proof glass. Rocks was.still trapped by the gunsights, so Kempthorn took them in his hands and broke off the mounting, a piece of metal one-eighth of an inch thick. This freed the trapped pilot. "Ordinarily it would take a sledge-hammer blow to dislodge that gun sight," Rocks said. "I don't know yet how Dick did it with his bare hands. I was trapped and didn't see any pos- sible way of getting out." Kempthorn piloted his c wn pri- vate plane as a student on cam- pus. After graduation he served on the Wolverine coaching staff Quad Council Will Discuss Rise in Rates The approval of a residence hall rate hike by the Board of Governors will be discussed at a special meeting of the West Quad Council 5:15 p.m. today. Sam Alfieri, '54A&D, West Quad president, said that the meeting will be "to find out from the quad representatives what effects they feel any substantial raise might have on residence hall living." Alfieri also said that the 'meeting is not a protest but is planned to present to Universi- ty vice-president Wilbur K. Pier- pont, "how we feel the raise will affect the application of the Michigan House plan." East Quad president, Roger Kid- ston, '54, yesterday met with Dean of Students Erich A. Walter and Dean of Men Walter B. Rea to "discuss the general problem of pricing the residence hall out of the student's grasp." The Civil Liberties Committee narrowly missed disbanding last night when several students prom- ised to contact prospective mem- bers before CLC's Monday dead- line for submitting its member- ship list to the Office of Student Affairs. The group held a lengthy dis- cussion on whether to continue after president Murray Thompson, Grad., said the Office of Student World News oundup By The Associated Press SEOUL-Allied Forces smashed five Red attacks along the Korean Front yesterday and rescued a trapped patrol before a blizzard in the East and heavy rains else- where ended the fighting. * * * CHICAGO-The first hospital in America specifically designed for atomic age treatments will open for business today. It is the Atomic Energy Com- mission's Argonne Cancer Re- search Hospital. -- an institution being, equipped to offer every known type of radiation thought useful - in cancer treatment. * * * WASHINGTON,-President Eis- enhower yesterday sent to an ap- parently receptive Congrses a plan for a new, cabinet-rank depart- ment of health, education and welfare, designed to improve "the CLC. Seeks Members As Club Faces Extinction <; Affairs' had requested a list of 30 CLC members by Monday. (In the past, however, the mem- bership requirement has been fre- quently waived by the student af- fairs office.) *, * * CLC's MEMBERSHIP has grad- ually dwindled since last spring's heavily-attended debate over a proposed amendment to bar Com- munists and Facists from the group. The amendment was passed after Prof. Kenneth E. Boulding of the economics department threatened to resign as faculty advisor if such a move was not made. After deciding to remain in busi- ness, the seven members present outlined plans for the future that will deal largely with academic freedom. Government Lifts Public Buying Curbs WASHINGTON-P)-The gov- ernment, yesterday abolished all remaining price ceilings on con- sumer goods. The most spectacular result may be an increase of as much as 10 cents in the retail price of a pound of coffee. The Office of Price Sta- bilization predicted as much, and New York coffee traders concurred. The price of beer may go up slightly, although officials of a large Eastern distributor said they saw no reason to expect a rise. Yesterday's decontrol order, af- fecting goods that sell at the rate of 40 billion dollars a year, brought to a temporary pause the six-week price-thawing drive of the Eisen- hower administration. DICK KEMPTHORN ... saves pilot MASTER PLAN: LAST CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM: 'U' Community Problems Discussed Survey Leaves -North Campus Open to Study By VIRGINIA VOSS Five representatives of all fac- tions of the University and the forces that work upon it met last night to discuss an ideal pos- sibilit V in a non-ideal state--the educational community. Panel participants in the fourth Student Legislature - sponsored Student Citizenship program lenge were outlined by Prof. Roger W. Heyns of the psychol- ogy department at the discus- sion's conclusion. The four problems were: 1. interesting more students in participating in the community. 2. getting the administration to relinquish some of its control. 3. preparing students for par- cisions, they would participate more readily in present and future community life. External influences on the Uni- versity came in for a substantial share of discussion.j Daily managing editor Craw- ford Young, '53, noted that the educational set up could not be geared to what the average tax- By HARRY LUNN The University's huge North Campus development has been designated a "problem area" which should be, open to continuing study in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti Met- ropolitan Plan adopted this week by the County Planning Commis- sion. These facilities would be de- veloped to take care of hospital and University employes. Projected construction of north belt and east belt highways, sched- uled to possibly merge with US-12 near the north Ann Arbor area, might necessitate storage and warehouse facilities near the in- Seven Seek Posts On IFC Council Seven candidates for Interfra ternity Council senior offices were I
