LXIII, No. 135 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1953 TEN PAGES Smith Hints At Shakeup In Pentagon Committee Halts Arms Hearings WASHINGTON -- (P) - The chairman of the Senate com- mittee investigating ammunition shortages in Korea hinted yester- day that Congress may demand a shakeup in the organization of the Pentagon. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-Me.) gave this indication to reporters after her armed ser- vices sub-committee called a tem- 3orary halt to its ammunition in- quiry. * * * SHE SAID, too, that Gen. Doug- las MacArthur may be called as a witness later to fill in gaps in the testimony already heard by the senators. The final witness in the cur- rent phase of the inquiry was Gen. . Lawton Collins, the Ar- my's chief of staff, who said in answer to question from Mrs. Smith that the Army never was told not to win the Korean war. Gen. James Van Fleet had told the subcommittee earlier that there were serious ammunition shortages during the 22 months he commanded the Eighth Army in Korea. He called the engage- ment "a sitdown war." MRS. SMITH said she hopes the testimony heard by the sub- 6 to changing the military organi- zation and Pentagon management to avoid any future situation such as the ammunition shortage. Collins was called to a closed- door session of the subcommit- tee Monday afternoon to tell about the Pentagon's military policies in Korea. Before going into the secret ses- sion, Collins appeared for public questioning. Mrs. Smith asked Collins if the Army ever got orders against win- ning a military victory in Korea or against driving the Chinese Reds back across the Yalu River into Manchuria. "There were no such orders," Collins replied. rYR's Disavow Endorsement Of McCarthy In a surprise move, the Young Republican board has disavowed action of the Midwest Federation of College YR Clubs at its annual convention and vigorously de- nounced the investigating tactics of Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-Wis.) At the March 28 convention, the Federation had passed a resolution commending the controversial sen- ator and favoring continuing ex- posures of Communism by Sen. McCarthy, PRESIDENT JASPER Reid. Grad., emphasized that the local YR club had no official, voting delegate at the convention al- though it is a member of the fed- eration. Speaking for the YR board, Reid continued, "I deeply re- gret the illadvised action of the convention in endorsing inves- tigating tactics which are wholly incompatible .with .Democratic ideals and traditions." The board also attacked various planks in the platform drawn up by the convention, including en- dorsement of the McCarren-Wal- ters immigration act. Ron Seavoy, '53, who attended the convention as an officer and did not represent the local group, explained the federation had passed the McCarthy resolution because, "The executive branch of government does not adequately publicize subversive elements." Sunday was the first time the local YR board had met since the convention because of the inter- vening spring vacation, Petitions Available For Union Opera Petition forms for six Union Opera executive committee posts may be picked up at the main desk of the Union, according to Mike U.S. Communists{ Told ToRegister Long Court Battle Looms in Future, Control Board Calls Reds 'Puppet' WASHINGTON--01)--The U. S. Comhmunist party was ordered yesterday to register as a tool of Moscow, list its members and give aI finaicial accounting. But the party doesn't have to do anything about it just yet. THE REGISTRATION order from the Subsersive Activities Control Board, which called the party "a subsidiary and puppet of the Soviet Union since its inception in 1919," opened the way for a long, drawn- out court battle. Party lawyers, who had declared in advance they would fight the ruling, said yesterday they will ask the U. S. Court of Appeals here-and the Supreme Court, if necessary-to re- verse the board's decision "as an unconstitutional monstrosity." 'Aunt Ruth' Ruth Bacon-Buchanan, known as "Aunt Ruth"-to-stu- dents on the campus a few years ago, dried yesterday after- noon. Mrs. Buchanan won the hearts of University students through the thousands of let- ters she wrote to University servicemen to boost morale both in World War II and in the Korean war. She will lie in state at the C Staff an-Hildinger Funeral Home until 2 p.m. tomorrow, when services will be held for her at St. Andrews Episcopal Church. Ticket Sales To Marriage.

Humphrey said yesterday there will be no de- pression in America, come a Ko- rean armistice of even full world peace. "Adjustments, yes, but not de- pression," he added in his maid- en speech as the fiscal weather- vane of President. Eisenhower's new Republican Cabinet. THE FORMER Midwest iron ore' magnate told the annual luncheon of The Associated Press at the Waldorf-Astoria Hitel: "So long as we maintain the soundness of our mon'ey; attain that nice balance between achieving security from aggres- sion and maintaining economic strength; eliminate waste and handle our fiscal affairs with wisdom, America can look for- wird to good jobs at good pay and real advances in our scale of living. "We can have a stronger econo- my based on sounder fundamen- tal conditions than we have known in many years." Humphrey advised the 1.000 editors and publishers that "taxes should not be reduced until expenses are under control." But he quickly added: "That does not mean that no re- lief from present taxation-which{ POW Swap Continues As 100 Allied Prisoners Return to UN Territory Busboy Plea May Result In Walkout By TOM LADENDORF Two West Quadrangle busboyj representatives indicated that their strike for higher wages would be resumed Monday unless their plea for an increase is granted. Their announcement came after a meeting yesterday with Resi- dence 'Halls business manager, Leonard A. Schaadt. The strike which began last Thursday night has revolved around the question of higher wages and better working condi- tions. According to John Curry, '53 NR, and Richard Schmude, '53, spokesmen for the strikers, the busboys are seeking a dollar an hour wage. Schaadt told the representa- tives at yesterday's meeting that it would be impossible to raise their wages beyond 85 cents an hour this year. Plans are underway, the busboy representatives report, to enlist ther support of all Quad men and the other quad busboys to press for the wage increase. They expect almost complete cooperation in a walkout. After yesterday's meeting Schaadt said that several minor grievances were worked out. Plans for a permanent student grievance and discipline com- mittee were discussed, and other matters such as the busboy grad- ing system and undefinied au- thority over the busboys were referred to West Quad Manager Lynford E. Tubbs, to the dis- cussed at the Quad level. Twenty-five workers were- in- volved in the original strike last Thursday. They returned to the dining rooms Thursday evening after setting up a six-man com- mittee to formally present their grievances to the Administration.

The department would not comment on this. However, Atty, Gen. Brownell Issued a statement saying the board order against the U. S. Communists "supports our charge that the Communist par-I ty is Soviet directed and con- trolled." The order came almost 29 months after former Atty. Gen. J. Howard McGrath petitioned the' board to require the party to reg- ister. Hearings covered more than 14 months.

Lewis, chairman of the econom-? ics department of Oberlin College, said last night that this plan was of great concern to the West- ern world. Speaking before a meeting of the' Economics Club, he said that na- tionalization was an experiment which "has not meant destruction of individual free enterprise by a monolithic government." He maintained a greater amount; of coordination and reorganiza- tion had been demanded in the interests of efficiency. Only the government had been capable of such a task, he concluded.
