Roundup
THE INCREASE failed to aid
men in their search for a more
equitable man-woman ratio, how-
ever.
The latest figures show that
each woman resident enrolled
has 2.24 males to chase her,
whereas in the fall the ratio
was slightly less. Men can take
consolation in the fact that
last spring there was an extra
quarter male for every woman;
or two and one half males for
every woman.
The freshman increase was
more sharply evident last fall when
2,406 newcomers enrolled in com-
parison to 1,868 for the fall of
1951. It was in September that the
man-woman ratio dropped.
* * *
TOTAL ENROLLMENT in cred-
it courses is up 22 over last spring
with the total hitting 17,764. The
rise in credit courses enrollment
was attributed to an increase of
almost 400 more students in Uni-
versity extension courses, Smith
reported.
Final figures are expected to
round off at about 18,500, how-
ever, as compared with 19,035
for last year.
The nation-wide demand for en-
gineers appears to have caused a
157 man rise in engineering school
enrollment. A total of 1,623 are
enrolled this spring as compared
to 1,466 for last year.
Other schools and colleges of
resident credit courses showing
increases are the School of Den-
tistry, Medical School, School of
Nursing, School of Public Health
and School of Social Work. The
biggest enrollment drops were.
found in graduate school and the
literary college.
High Court
Rejects Appeal
Of 4 Negroes
WASHINGTON-(MP)-The Su-
preme Court yesterday rejected
the claim of four North Carolina
Negroes that unlawful racial dis-
crimination was used in the pick-
ing of juries which doomed them
to death.
The high court poured forth ap-
proximately 40,000 words in dis-
posing of the cases.
JUSTICE REED wrote the 6-3
majority opinion, which upheld
the constitutionality of North Car-
olina's system of selecting jury
panels composed of property own-
ers and poll tax payers.
Two of the death sentences
which the court refused to over-
turn are for murder, the other
two for the rape of white women.
"Our duty to protect the federal
constitutional rights of all does
not mean we must or should im-
pose on the states our conception
of the proper source of jury lists,
so long as the source reasonably
reflects a cross-section of the pop-
ulation suitable in character and
intelligence for that civic duty,"
Justice Reed wrote.

A very superior Michigan
State College student, renown-
ed for his stupidity, wil be
making his debut on the edi-
torial page of The Daily this
morning.
Worthal is his name, and his
creator, Dick Bibler, has been
putting him through his an-
tics for seven years in the cele-
brated cartoon, "Little Man on
Campus."
Bibler draws exclusively for
college newspapers, and claims
a patronage of 100 such dupes.
The Daily, which accepted Bib-
ler at the point of a gun, is the
101st college newspaper deluded
by this cartoonist.

Income Tax
T'o Remain
High ! Taft'
WASHINGTON (P) - President
Eisenhower's legislative program
took shape at a White House con-
ference yesterday, with increasing
indications that tax reductions
must await a more nearly balanced
budget.
When Sen. Taft of Ohio, Repub-
lican floor leader in the Senate,
emerged from the conference he
made it clear he agreed with the
President that income and other
taxes should not be cut until the
brake has been pulled on spend-
ing.
* * *
TAFT ALSO said the excess
profits tax should be collected
through 1953, and he predicted the
tax would not be permitted to die
on July 1, as scheduled under pres-
ent law.
"I am confident that in the
end we shall reduce taxes," the
GOP leader told reporters, "but
just how and then it shall be
done was left or future consid-
eration."
Taft outlined a broad legislative
program and said he is certain all
the goals will be reached. Here is'
what may be expected to happen
in the next five months:
1-All appropriation bills will
be out of the House and ready
for Senate action by May 15.
2-Hawaii will be admitted to
statehood.
3.-Several executive depart-
ments and agedcies will be re-
organized under powers granted
to the White House by Con-
gress last week.
4-The Taft-Hartley labor law
will be amended to meet some of
the objections of management and
labor unions.
5-Some controls, like rents,
and some allocations of scarce
materials will be extended on a
limited basis to meet critical
situations.
6-The reciprocal trade act
will be extended.
7-A "tidelands" oil ownership
law will be passed, probably giv-
ing the states title to the rich off-
shore oil deposits.

The Society for Peaceful Alter-
natives will meet at 7:30 p.m. to-

British To Resisi
ina Blockade
U.S. May Invoke Measures Other
Than All-out Korea Offensive-Ta
By The Associated Press
A Foreign Office spokesman made it clear at a news confere
yesterday that Britain would resist any American proposal to ble
ade Red China.
Commenting on the growing discussion of a blockade in Wa
ington, the spokesman indicated the British view is that such a me
would be dangerous, ineffective, politically unwise and possibly n
harmful to the Western Allies than to the Chinese Communists.
* * * *
MEANWHILE Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) hinted yesterday the Eis
hower administration is weighing methods of putting pressure
Red China other than by launch-
ing an all-out offensive in Korea.
Taft suggested alternate movesR egents
might include a naval blockade
against the Chinese mainland.
At the same time informed offA c
cials reported British opposition

BRUCE ALLEN (12) AND DON EADDY FIGHT FOR REBOUND WITH ILLINI BOB- PETERSON
F A . " e ere
Fighting Illini Humble Wolverines
By DICK LEWIS
Power-laden Illinois raced to its
second consecutive 30-point vic-
tory over Michigan's hapless cag-
ers, drubbing the Wolverines by
a decisive 92-62 margin at Yost
Field House last night.
Coach Harry Combes' sure-
shooting Illini put on an exhibi-
tion of court finesse and alertness
that turned the contest into a
rout early in the second period
and paved the way for the eighth
triumph in ten conference starts
for the Champaign quintet.
IT WAS the bony frame of
6'-9" Illinois center John Kerr
that sent the visitors off and run-
ning. Kerr entered the game with
two minutes remaining in the first
period and the Fighting Illini on
top by a scant two points, 16-14.
The elongated red-head pro-
ceeded to reel off three quick
field goals in the waning sec-
onds of the opening quarter,
and added three more hook
shots in the early moments of
the next stanza.
Kerr opened with a hook and
guard Irv Bemoras followed with a
one-hander to make it 20-14.
After Michigan center Paul Groff-
sky countered with a hook shot
of his own, the roof fell in.
s * *
ILLINOIS CHALKED up six
straight points to extend its ad-
vantage to 26-16 at the quarter,
and came roaring back in the sec-
ond round with six more tallies
to open the gap to 32-16.
A host of Illinois second-
stringers hit from all over the
court as the tally mounted to
a 50-28 figure at the halfway
point.
Groffsky initiated the second

half with another hook, but that
was a's close as the Wolverines
got in the one-sided fight.
Michigan outscored the Illi-
nois reserves in the final ten
minutes, 20-15, to close the de-
ficit to 30 points. The Illini five
had previously defeated the
Wolverines at Champaign, 96-66.
Guard John Codwell notched
three field goals in the last session
to run his game-high total to 19.
Groffsky followed the converted
forward with' a 15-point output.
The Orange and Black, scoring
its fifth consecutive verdict over
a Michigan squad since 1949, put
four men in double figures.

DULLES was reported to have
explained that the President was
referring in part to the Yalta
Agreement to let Russia take over
Japan's Kurile Islands and South
Sakhalin, when he declared in
his State of the Union message
that the United States would not
recognize secret wartime agree-
ments which permitted "enslave-
ment" of peoples.
The view of the Foreign Office,
it was reported, was that any
one-sided repudiation of an in-
ternational agreement by a major
Western Power would establish a
bad precedent which the Russians
might easily copy, particularly in
the case of Berlin.
COMMENTING on the blockade
discussion, the spokesman told
questioners:
1. Britain's policy remains as it
was laid down five days ago by
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
who told Parliament, "We think it
would be a mistake to have a pol-
icy of blockade."
2. Britain "expects to be con-
sulted" on any such policy and
believes she would be.
3. Britain has made her obje-
ban~s known quite plainly when
the idea has come up in the past
two years.
While major attention focused
on the Far East, Secretary of
State Dulles returned from Eur-
ope with 'word that he is "en-
couraged" about the prospect for
European unity.
Chairman Wiley (R-Wis.) of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee said Duiles will appear
before the committee Tuesday for
a quiz on the international situa-
tion.
Wiley told newsmen he doesn't
believe the Eisenhower adminis-
tration has reached a decision yet
on the possibility of blockading
Red China.
In another development, Gen.
Omar N. Bradley reportedly told
the Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee he believes ships bound for
Communist. China could be stop-
ped and forced to unload contra-
band material without touching
off a war.

a scholarship fund in their name.
Details of the administration of
the fund have not yet been worked
out.
The Regents also accepted two
grants from the E. I. du Pont de
Nemours & Company totaling
$15,400. A $10,000 grant-I-aid

Charter Revision Put OnApriliBallot
City charter revision, a million
dollar school bond issue and the
proposed Maynard St. carport fig-

Ann Arbor voters will get a
chance at the April 6 election to
say whetherhor not they want re-
vision of the city's 60 year old
charter.

IF REVISION is approved a
nine-memberhcommission will be
selected in the June 2 election to
study the problem and determine
recommendations.
Numerous attempts to alter
the ancient charter, originally

CITY VOTERS will decide in a
special Feb. 24 election whether
they want to approve a $7,650,000
bond issue which is being pro-
posed to expand school facilities.
Board of Education member
Albert E. Blashfield estimated
last week that the building pro-
gram would cost city home own-
ers about three dollars per $1,000
of assessed valuation.
The bond issue will be used to
build a high school, northwest ele-
mentary school, addition to Slau-
son and Northside schools and to
buy a southeast site for a future
school.
Meanwhile, the city Board of
Realtors Friday unanimously ask-

Yesterday's sales brought the
semester total to more than $6,000
as compared with last semester's'
record of $3,300, Exchange man-
ager Keith Beers, Grad., said.
BUT ACCORDING to Beers, the
Exchange still has shelf space and
requests for books that aren't
until Friday, Beers noted that
the sooner they are on the
shelves, the better the chance of
sale. All "second semester"

beginning physics and economics
courses, are in demand.
