By GENE HARTWIG
Failure of the new Joint Judii.
i ry constitution to gain a hearing
in the Board of Regents meeting
last Thursday and Friday may
preclude the possibility of its pas-
sage this semester it was learne
yesterday.
The document which was sub-
mitted to University Presideni
4 Harlan Hatcher May 15 to be con
sidered at the May Regents meet-
ing was apparently still being with-
held by the president for further
study.
PETE LARDNER, '53E, outgo-
ing president of Joint Judi, sai
last night that an effort will b
made to secure a place for the
measure on the agenda of the nex
Regents meeting, June 12.
Informal discussion of the
Student Legislature proposal to
modify the present University
"driving ban" was held at the
two day meeting, however, and it
was decided to place the issue
on the agenda of unfiinished
business.
In a letter to SL President Rob-
ert Neary, '54, Regent Vera Baits
commended the Legislature for the
well written set of alternatives
contained in the "driving ban'
brief.
Herbert G. Watkins, secretary of
the University, estimated that it
might be three or four months yet
before the Board gives final ap-
proval to the SL resolution grant-
ing permission for all University
students to operate cars on campus
except freshmen under 21 years
old.
PASSAGE of the Judi consti-
tution by the board in their June
meeting would give'fImal recogni-
tionto the campus' central judicial
body originally created by former
06 University President Alexander G.
Ruthven.
At that time, the group was
organized with only temporary
authority, an arrangement con-
tinued by President Hatcher
when he took office.
The constitution had previously
1, received the approval of the Com-
mittee on Student Conduct May
14, at which time the deans in the
4 administration and of the various
colleges gave it their firm endorse-
ment.
It was submitted to President
Hatcher on May 15, one day' too
late to be placed formally on the
Regent's agenda.
IN ORDER for the constitution
to have received consideration it
would have to have been intro-
duced at the meeting by President
Hatcher, who serves as chairman
of the Board.
Watkins pointed out that the
agendafor the May meeting had
contained almost 15 items, of
which only two received consid-
eration by the Regents during
their two day session.
Lardner said yesterday appoint-
ments for next year's Joint Judic
Council have already been made
under the system provided in the
old constitution pending approval
of the new set of rules.
New appointments to Men's Ju-
dic include Jim Smith, L. Joel Mar-
genau, '54BAd, Merritt Green, '53,
and Ruedi Gingrass, '54. Paul

PRESIDENT Eisenhower reject-
ed their clemency pleas last Feb-
ruary. But Justice Department
sources said Saturday the Rosen-
bergs have been told they might
be able to save themselves by
"singing" to federal prosecutors.
The husband and wife spy team
was convicted more than two years
ago of wartime conspiracy to
transmit atomic secrets to Russia.
In addition to rejecting the
appeal, the high court directed
the stay of execution granted by
the U.S. Circuit Court in New
York Feb. 17 be vacated. The
stay had been granted to permit
filing of the appeal acted on
yesterday.
The Rosenbergs had been sched-
uled to die the week of March 9.
PRESUMABLY the Justice de-

In spite of the fact that Illi-

Ray Fisher's outfit will meet
Ohio University this weekend at
Ann Arbor in a best two 'out of

NCAA double elimination finals
June 11 through 15. Tickets for
the series will be $.60 for students
and $1.20 for others as per NCAA
rules.

Speculation Grows on Fate

THIE HEARING will be held
some time in the fall. It will mark
the first time since 1922 that the
Supreme Court has examined the
legality of the national sport. Base-
ball won the last time.
It might lose this case and if
it does, the game as it is played
now would undergo sweeping
changes unless new legislation
were written.
Baseball contracts-and those in
other professional sports-contain
a clause which puts the player
completely under the control of
the club that owns him.

Still thousands of other auto
workers were idle because of two
other supplier strikes, at the
Canton, O., Ford forge plant,
and at Warner Gear Co. in Mun-

The Budd strikers had agreed
to end their earlier walkout today
after international officers threat-
ened "appropriate action by the

halt a jurisdictional dispute.
A lack of parts from its Canton

Talks Recessed
Until May 31
By The Associated Press'
Authoritative South Korean
sources said yesterday the new Al-
lied armistice proposal would turn
over to the United Nations Gener-
al Assembly the final disposition of
war prisoners refusing to return
to Red rule.
These informants said the UN
Command proposal submitted to
the Communists in Sunday's se-
crecy-shrouded session contained
four major provisions which were
not acceptable to President Syng-
man Rhee and the Republic of Ko-
rea government.
REFUSING to be identified, the
sources said their information was
based on the two-hour long con-
ference Sunday between Rhee and
Gen. Mark Clark, UN commander,
and upon information given Rhee's
government by the U.N. command.
Truce parleys recessed Sun-
day until May 31 after a one-
day, news - curtained session
which followed an eight-day
recess.
According to the informants, the
new Allied proposal provides for
handling of the reluctant prison-
ers in stages-and along the lines
of previously-advanced plans-but
it would leave the U.N. General
Assembly to finally determine the
fate of prisoners persisting in re-
fusing to go home.

QUESTION of what to do about
34,000 North Korean and 14,500
Chinese prisoners refusing repa-
triation is the sole major barrier to
an armistice in the bitter, costly
war-which now is nearly three
years old.
The new Allied plan has not
been disclosed officially. Allied
truce delegates even declined
Sunday to say whether a new
plan was offered.
South Korea's delegate on the
Allied truce team boycotted the
Sunday meeting, apparently be-
cause he could not accept parts of
the new UN move.
MAJ. GEN. Choi Duk Shin's ac-
tion in remaining behind at Mun-
san was the first indication of a
serious rift between the U.N.
Command and the South Korean
government.
The South Korean government
in a statement has declared it
would fight on alone if an armis-
tice were signed which left the
country divided and Chinese Com-
munist troops still in the country.
Meanwhile, fighting continued

Pollock Urges Revamp
'Of Agriculture Set-up
By GAYLE GREENE
Copies of his testimony favoring unqualified approval and sup-
port of President Eisenhower's plan to revamp the agriculture depart-
ment were released yesterday by Prof. James K. Pollock of the
political science department.
Pointing to "a hodge podge of systems" which bog down govern-
ment, Prof. Pollock said Presidential plan No. 2 would vest in the
secretary of the department authority now held by subordinates-
thus making the department head the true chief of his own agency.

POLLOCK, MEMBER of the Hoover Commission which reported
on reorganization of thle executive branch of the federal government,
testified before a Senate government operations subcommittee last

Prof. Pollock deplored the irresponsibility which has been al-
lowed to continue throughout the executive branch.
"Waste is one thing, Pollock said, "irresponsibility and lack of
effective control is another. I don't know why Congress should be
opposed to any plan which places responsibility where it can be en-
forced," he sold the subcommittee.
