LXIII, No. 165 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1953 SIX PAGES Joint Judie Constitution Held Over Regent Praises DrivingProposal 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 Campbell, '54L, and Gingrass will serve as chairman and secretary Women's Judic named theufol lowing to Joint Judie; Lucy Landers, '55, Ann Schmitz, '54, Barabara Bos, '54Ed, Lee Fiber, '54, and Sally Stahl, '55.

New Rosenberg APPealRejected Supreme Court Refuses To Hear Plea; Only Chance Is Confession WASHINGTON -(P) - For the' third time the Supreme Court re- fused yesterday to grant a hear- ing to condemned atom spies Jul- ius and Ethel Rosenberg. This left as the only. apparent chance to escape death in the elec- tric chair a decision to tell the government any espionage secrets they may still hold. * * Court To Act On Baseball PlayerRule WASHINGTON - (A) - The l Supreme Court decided yesterday that it will look into the legalityI .of baseball's long-disputed reserve! clause. The entire future of professional sports rests on the outcome. * * * 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- partment will ask U.S. District Judge Irving R. Kaufman in New, York to fix a new execution time. Vote on the Rosenbergs' third appeal was 7-2, Justices Black and Douglas favored hearing the case. - Last Nov. 17 when the court acted on their first appeal, Justice3 Black alone dissented.

Ray Fisher's outfit will meet Ohio University this weekend at Ann Arbor in a best two 'out of three series to determine who will go to Omaha, Nebraska for the 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. A SINGLE GAME is scheduled, for Friday and either a single con- test or a doubleheader will be. played Saturday depending onj whether or not a third game is necessary. It will be the second time that Michigan has participated in the NCAA playoffs. The Wol- verines were beaten by Western Michigan in the first round back in 1948. Ohio U. captured the ruggedi Midwest Conference title by win- ning eight of the nine conference games it played.

Speculation Grows on Fate Of U.S. Trade Agreements 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. In another case yesterday the Supreme Court, dividing 5 to 4, ruled that the New Orleans Times- Picayune did not viplate the Sher- man Anti-Trust Act by requiring arvertisers to buy space in its sis- ter newspaper, the New Orleans States.

Men Return A fter IBudd Strike .Ends DETROIT-The on-again, off- again strike of 8,000 -Budd Co. workers was called off again late Corp. promptly issued back-to- yesterday and as a result Chrysler work calls for 36,000 of its 40,000 idle employes. The strike at Budd, which makes car bodies for three Chrysler divi- sions, had forced the Chrysler lay- offs. * * - IT BEGAN last Wednesday and was called off originally on Sun- day. But after work was resumed on the day shift yesterday, the walkout erupted again. A small group of workers found that a' crane had -been moved from one department to another during the shutdown, resulting in a relocation of their jobs. The crane operators walked out and the rest of the day shift fol- lowed suit. The first walkout ended on ord- ers from the International CIO Urnited Auto Workers. After it re- sumed yesterday, UAW president Walter P. Reuther threatened to slap an administratorship over Local 306 at the Budd plant. The night shift then reported on schedule.{ * * * CHRYSLER then notified 36,000 employes in seven Detroit area. plants to report on regular shifts today. The other 4,000 at the Dodge truck plant, were told to report on regular shifts tomor- row. 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- cie, Ind. The Budd strikers had agreed to end their earlier walkout today after international officers threat- ened "appropriate action by the international" if the men did not halt a jurisdictional dispute. A lack of parts from its Canton plant caused Ford to complete the layoff of 85,000. Studebaker's 23,000 production workers began a 20-hour week to prevent the layoff of half their number. Warner Gear sup- plies the corporation. Report Say R OKs Don't Like Offer 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. S.* * 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 as Allied air and sea power blast- ed the Communists on the Ko- rean East and West Coasts ear- ly yesterday and a U.S. Sabre jet knocked down a Red MIG south of the Manchurian bor- der.
