LXIII, No. 35 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1952 SIX PAGES 'THIS I BELIEVE': Ethi*cs Based. 'On Experience' EDITOR'S NOTE: In conjunction with the current lecture series, "This I Believe," The Daily is presenting statements of belief of prominent mem- bers of the University community. The second lecture in the series, "Ethical Problems in Public Life," will be presented by George N. Shuster, president of New York's Hunter College, at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in Rackham Lecture Hall. By PRESTON SLOSSON Professor of History There are not only many philosophies but many approaches to them. Some depend on authority, of a church, or a book, or a tradi- tion. I do not blame them; we take most things on authority, for life would be too short to test everything we are told. But religion and politics are two things that I have always wanted to puzzle out for myself. Some have, or claim, a mystical revelation. They may be right; but I have not shared their experience, so that road is not for me. My beliefs are based solely on reason and experience. I find a universe, which is a puzzle in all ways and a mystery in most, but it contains marvels and beauties beyond reckoning and, on the planet we know best, a course of evolution from unconscious matter to thinking men, who are capable of transcending exper- ience by reason, imagination, and sacrificial devotion to an ideal. I do not believe it possible that such a result is a chance by- product of blind mechanical forces, any more than an earthquake would shake stones together in the exact form of a Gothic cathed- ral or a hammer falling repeatedly on typewriter keys would turn out a great poetic drama. Hence I believe in an intended cosmos; in short, God. I find man contributing to his own evolution by his decisions from minute to minute, as well as from century to century. He does not seem to be a vessel of clay shaped by a divine potter, but' rather a self- creator, a minor partner with God. His personality, which develops continuously through a long lifetime (during which every cell of his body has been repeatedly replaced), seems- to be soitething other than his body, and not destined to the same fate. Therefore I believe in immortality. I find in the long course of human history that ethical conduct is not an arbitrary code imposed on us from without, but that it is the very principle of life itself. The highest good is the enhancement of personality, the "more abundant life" mentioned by Jesus; everything which raises the ape over the oyster, man above the ape, the civilzed man above the savage, the saint and sage above the ordinary man. This development is favored by health, happiness, knowledge, and all other good things, but most of all by kindness, integrity, fair dealing, and mutual consideration. Those who have forgotten or ignored this have invariably harmed themselves, their neighbors, their country, and the whole human adventure. Detailed Plans for Phoenix Memorial Lab Announed Daily Called 'Warmonger' In UN Halls Satiric Editorial Quoted in Session By ZANDER HOLLANDER Daily Feature Editor The Daily tucked away a new laurel this week-it was blasted by the Soviet bloc in the hallowed halls of the United Nations. Source of the attack was Mrs. F. A. Novikov, Byelorussian dele- gate to the UN Social, Humanitar- ian and Cultural committee, who Tuesday singled out The Daily as an example of the "warmonger- ing" of the American press. * * * MRS. NOVIKOV'S onslaught was part of a battery of Red-sat- ellite attacks backing up Soviet delegate Arkady A. Sobolev's earl- ier charge that the United States press was "monopolist-controlled" and trying to incite world conflict. The attack came during a ses- sion discussing the drafting of a controversial global pact on freedom of information. Mrs.Novikov claimed that The Daily had accused the White Rus- sian Soviet Republic of building submarine bases at Minsk. But Minsk, she pointed out triumph- antly, is far inland. The Byelorussian charge pro- voked at first only mystificatiqn locally but racking of memories dredged up the recollection that The Daily had once referred to Minsk. The mention came in a satire called '" Killed the Presi- dent" by Rich Thomas, '52, a former senior editor. Thomas, in parodying the spate of anti-Soviet fiction then current in national slick magazines, told in an editorial page story of a Red commando force which put out from a Minsk submarine base to kill "President Eisenhower." Thomas, now with the United States Army Intel igence, said at the time that "Minsk" was thrown in "strictly as a gag." LOCAL misunderstanding of the satire's purpose brought an ex- planatory note the next day from Managing Editor Chuck Elliott. But even this did not prevent an Ann Arborite from forwarding the piece to the Moscow Literary Ga- zette-minus the explanatory note and with the hint that the article was a deliberate forgery added. The Gazette fell for it. They came out with a scathing excor- iation of the article, The Daily, and the University. For the Ann Arborite who had deliberately misled them (initials D.L., ac- cording to The Gazette) they had nothing but praise. The Daily reprinted the Ga- zette's attack in full. The rehashing of the old lie brought swift response from the United States delegation which wired The Daily last night for full particulars on the case. The material is now on its way. Meanwhile rebuttal of the gen- eral charges against the American press went on yesterday led by Charles Sprague, United States delegate and the publisher of the "Oregon Statesman," a small pa- per in Salem, Ore. Block 'M' The Block "M" flashcard sec- tion plans to put on a colorful display at tomorrow's Michi- gan-Illinois game. Visiting Illini will be greet- ed with "Hi I" while Michigan fans will see their colors in a block !'M" and "UM." Since election day is near, the section will urge everyone to "VOTE." As a salute to Tommy Dorsey who will provide music at the Student Legislature sponsored dance, "Autumn Nocturne," the letters "TD" will appear inside a yellow autumn leaf. A llies Win Back Kvey Korean Hill BULLETIN SEOUL - (P) - Allied troops early today won back the crest of Triangle Hill in Central Korea less than nine hours after over- whelming numbers of Chinese Reds had seized it. SEOUL-(P)-Chinese Reds in human sea attacks seized Triangle Hill early today, handing the Al- lies their worst setback since the battle of the Central Front heights broke out 18 days ago. A front dispatch said the Reds broke through Allied lines so swift- ly that one company of defend- ers was trapped on the height. 2 * * * THE ONSLAUGHT by 2,000 Chi- nese was pressed relentlessly through an Allied artillery barrage so withering that one of three at- tacking Red battalions was cut to pieces and withdrew. It was the heaviest loss of ter- ritory the Allies have suffered in the 18-day-old battle on the front north of Kumhwa. The U. S. Seventh Division had seized Triangle Hill Oct. 15. Freshmen Call Courses Uniniteresting The major complaint voiced about freshman courses at last night's Literary College Confer- ence, was the claim that they fail to stimulate student interest. This was ascribed to two factors, the narrow scope of subject matter included, and the quality of in- structors teaching them. The need for integration and a less "compartmentalized" student attitude was stressed by Prof. Wil- liaf B. Palmer of the economics de- partment. Another student complaint, that on the quality of teaching fellows, was answered by John Weimer of the English department; who called the teaching fellow in Eng- lish, 'the most maligned person on campus.' He cited past years, when it was attempted to have English instructors of higher rank teach elementary courses, and it was found that they had little op- portunity for such important things as conferences and grading. Candidates Give Major Addresses . Ike, Adlai Talk At KeyRallies By the Associated Press Both Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower lashed out last night against their political opponents in major speeches on the last leg of their campaign. Stevenson, speaking in Pitts- burgh, won a tumultous reception in the steel center last night and declared the "great crusade" of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has become "the great masquerade." The Democratic Presidential candidate told a cheering crowd of 13,000 that -filled the Hunt Ar- mory that his Republican opponent had abandoned the GOP principles of Abraham Lincoln. He said that when Eisenhower was in the Mid-West one saw the hand of Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio "and all associated isola- tionists" in the general's pro- nouncements. Later in the evening Stevenson announced he is suspending his presidential campaign temporar- In major political addresses today, Gen. Eisenhower will speak at 1 p.m. over WWJ-TV and Gov. Stevenson will talk at 9:30 p.m. over WWJ radio and TV. U.S. Now Winning Cold War, Truman Asserts In.

Storey Stresses Acute Demand for Lawyers The University's North Campus picked up speed yesterday with the announcement of detailed plans for the million-dollar Phoe- nix Memorial Laboratory for Atomic Research. The projected 150 by 50 foot three-story reinforced concrete building will be erected just off the southwest corner of the Cooley Memorial Laboratory, now near- ing completion. THE LABORATORY is the first building to be financed by the $6,500,000 Michigan Memorial Phoenix project. Details of the proposed new laboratory were described by Henry J. Gomberg, assistant director of the Phoenix Project and chairman of a special build- ing planning committee. Union Forum Panel Debates Corruption The sizzling issue of government corruption was debated by two students and two professors at the first Union Forum last night. Taking the affirmative side of the question, "Resolved: that cor- ruption prevalent in American government is a threat to Ameri- can democracy," were Prof. Win- ton Bevan of the speech depart- ment and Ned Simon, '55, Young Republicans president. Prof. Pres- ton Slosson of the history depart- ment and Lyn Marcus, '53, of the Young Democrats upheld the neg- ative stand. Simon, mentioning mink coats and deep freezes, charged the ad- ministration with corruption in the White House, administrative agencies and the Justice Depart- ment. The American public has lost confidence in the present govern- ment, Prof. Bevan stated because of a "permeating atmosphere of corruption, therefore calling for a repudiation of the administration. Admitting the existence of cor- rntinn in the aministration Prof. Atomic research will involve ra- diation studies relating to biologi- cal and physical sciences. High energy radiation other than that produced by large accelerators, such as cyclotrons and synchro- tons, will be utilized. ORIGINALLY the University's cyclotron and synchrotron were to be housed in the -new laboratory but it was found that there was not enough space. A separate building to house them on the North Campus has been proposed. The first floor of the labora- tory will be devoted to either a betatron or a Van der Graff generator. Both electrical accel- erators will be used to produce high energy Xrays and to study the effect of high energy elec- trons and protons. Gomberg said that all plans would be complete by next Janu- ary and construction will get un- der way as soon as a contract can be awarded. MEANWHILE in New York, Eisenhower accused President Tru- man and Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of "unrestrained slander" and said the Democrats are waging a "dir- ty" campaign-"The most scurri- lous in American political history." Eisenhower did not call the President and Stevenson by name, but he left no doubt he was talking about them in an 3address prepared for delivery at a Madison Square Garden rally and for nation-wide television and radio. In angry language, Eisenhower declared that in his life time he has been worked over by "poison pen" experts in Nazi Germany and Russia. Van .Fleet Case DenialMade By the Associated Press The White House denied last night a published report that Gen.' James A. Van Fleet is being re- lieved of his command in Korea as a result of writing a recent let- ter that figured in the political campaign. Irving Perlmeter, assistant White House press secretary, said he had checked the report with President Truman's party in De- troit and was told "there was noth- ing to it whatsoever." Van Fleet's letter, as made pub- lic Wednesday night by Gen. Ei- senhower, said the South Korean Army is in "apple-pie" order. Integrity, energy, and ability must be developed in law study and carried over into legal prac- tice, Robert G. Storey, president Speaker Rule To Be Studied A recommendation to set up uni- form regulations for outside speak- ers on 39 national and Canadian campuses was set aside for study by the American Association of Universities in a Chicago meeting this week. The proposal was briefly dis- cussed by the nearly 40 college and university presidents attending the two-day conference and then re- ferred to a special study commit- tee. According to University rela- tions director Arthur L. Brandon, the uniformity plan will be aired in the next Association of Ameri- can University Presidents meet- ing. President Harlan H. Hatcher repesented the University at the Chicago conference. Rally Called Off There will be no pep rally to- night. Larry Bloch, '53, president of the Wolverine Club announced last night. A rally will be held the Friday before the Purdue game. of the Amnerican Bar Association told law students last night. These attributes are especially necessary at present because the demand for young lawyers is more acute than ever, said Storey, dean of the law school at Southern Methodist University and a prac- ticing lawyer. . * * ADDRESSING a joint meeting of the Student Bar Association and Michigan Crib, Storey empha- sized the need of gaining the con- fidence of clients, fellowlawyers, and the public. "When we take oath as a law- yer, we become members of the American judiciary, and on our shoulders rests the responsibil- ity of maintaining the impartial administration of justice," he said. The organized bar has long recognized this need, he main- tained. For many years, effprts have been made to prepare tu- dents better, to improve the ad- ministration of justice, Previous to the address, Dean of the Law School E. Blythe Stas- on presented six law students with awards for outstanding scholar- ship. Recipients were: William A. Bain, '53L; Richard D. Rohr, '53L; James W. Callison, '53L; Donald C. Droste, '54L; Robert H. Bloom, '54L, and John J. Namenye, '53L. Slams Ike's 'Loose Tal' About Korea Deplores GOP's 'Half-Measures' By the Associated Press President Truman said last night in Detroit the nation is reaching a turning point in the world-wide struggle against communism and "the balances are moving in our favor." But the President, campaigning to put Adlai Stevenson in the White House as his successor, add- ed a quick warning that progress toward peace would be imperilled by "Republican isolationist poli- cies of withdrawal, of feeble half- measures, of appeasement and sur- render." * * * THEN IN A speech prepared for a big crowd at the Michigan State Fair Grounds, Truman resumed his running offensive against GOP presidential nominee, Dwight D. Eisenhower, declaring: "He has put fear in the hearts of free people all over the world by his loose talk about the fight- ing in Korea." "His campaign tactics are in- uring the unity with which this country is supporting the brave and necessary effort of its fight- ing men there." "HE HAS TALKED his country's policies in such a way that Soviet delegate Vishinsky .has been able to use his statements while at- tacking this country in the United Nations." At Grand Rapids, home of the late Republican Sen. Arthur A. Vandenberg, Truman launched still another attack on Eisenhower. He said the General calls him- self a "Vandenberg Republican," and supports policies of interna- tional cooperation while in Mich- igan but "talked like an Isolation- ist, a Dirksen-Taft-McCormick Republican in fllinois." Adlai Group Ends Career With Forum The Students for Stevenson club last night bowed out, at least until 1956, with a round table discus- sion of "Presidential Elections in the Final Week." Panel members, including Prof. Sidney Fine of the history de- partment and Prof. Samuel J. El- dersveld and Prof. Frank Grace both of the political science de- partment, agreed that Stevenson needed to carry New York state to insure his election. * * * ALTHOUGH none of the trio cared to go out on a limb with a prediction, by their own admis- sion, each felt that Stevenson has an excellent chance of winning. Prof. Fine, who opened the discussion, said, "If Stevenson wins, it will be by a very small majority vote, possibly even by less than a majority of the pop- ular vote." He further maintained that "the issue of corruption and taxa- tion will not swing any Republi- can votes. If Eisenhower wins, it will be because of his personaljty, a gnawing suspicion that the Re- publicans can do more to clean up Communism, and the Korean War problem." THESE sentiments were second- ed by the group's sponsor, Prof. Eldersveld, who added that there are six or seven key states, of which a candidate must carry at least three to win. He believed the governor could carry this many. The final speaker, Prof. Grace, expressed pleasure at the way the cards seemed stacked for a Dem- PARTIES' LOCAL NERVE CENTERS: County Campaign Headquarters Bustle with Activity * * * * n -- * * * * By ERIC VETTER and BOB JAFE Long hours, constant re-shuffling, and a final mad scramble before election day-these are the earmarks of local party campaign headquarters. Functioning chiefly as a co-ordinating body for a large network of activities, the Republican and Democratic headquarters in Ann Arbor serve as the nerve center behind the majority of county political action. The two groups are located about a block apart on Fourth Avenue and carry on many similar activities. Both are responsible for the smooth operation of the party campaign throughout Washtenaw County. * * * * THE PARTIES are organized along similar structural lines. Each has an executive group overseeing the main operations of lower level bodies. They both have four or five committees set up to carry out the major load of work. On a lower stratum precinct heads and committees under them make the valuable personal contacts with voters. Headquarter activity began for the Democrats on Aug. 8 when they held a public open house.
