LXIII, No. 37 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1952 SIX PAGES Rose Bowl Hopes Fade: Daily De ended By UN Delegate Special To The Ihaily UNITED NAITIONS, N. Y.-The Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic got a belated lesson in American satire yesterday when Charles A. Sprague of the United States informed the Communist satellite that The Daily was being funny and not warmongering in an editorial last January. The lecture on humor came up in a debate on freedom of infor- mation in the UN Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural committee. Earlier this week, White Russian delegate Mrs. F. A. Novoikov blasted The Daily as an example of the "war-mongering" American press. - .* # * s * * s ' S '. . "s IIST Claims Dem Victory. Is Assured ST. LOUIS - (P) - President Truman wound up the most stren- uous campaign of his career last night with a forecast of victory for Adlai E. Stevenson-and a S warning of national disaster if Dwight D. Eisenhower is elected instead. "We would have the ultimate ironyofa general who stood for the defense of the free world when he was in uniform, presiding over fthe liquidation of our foreign pol- icy," the President declared. * * s TRUMAN'S FINAL speech of the 1952 campaign came in the same Missouri city where he ended his own 1948 fight for his election to the White House. "I finished my 1948 campaign in St. Louis and we won," Tru- man said. "We're going to win again this time." Then in an address bristling with barbed attacks on Eisenhower and the GOP leadership the Pres- ident summed up the case he has made for Stevenson in some 18,- 000 mijes of campaigning through 30 states from coast to coast. He accused the General of us- ing campaign tactics on Korea which "have already begun to un- dermine our unity in the struggle against communism." He said Eisenhower had been using "the same kind of innuendo and distortion" in his speeches that have come to be known as 'McCarthy-ism-a shocking and terrifying thing." * * * AND HE DROPPED into his speech a new side-swipe at Eisen- hower, saying the General as re- cently as four years ago favored lower pay for new soldiers. "Back in 1948," Truman said, "He (Eisenhower) testified before a committee of Congress that he thought draftees should not re- ceive any pay except cigarette money."n Triangle Hill Duel Continues SEOUL, SUNDAY, Nov. 2-0')- South Korean troops fought with- in 25 yards of the crest of Triangle Hill in determined day-long at- tacks Saturday but stalled at dusk under a hail of fire from Chinese Reds. Front dispatches said doughty eighth army troops, now in the 20th day of indecisive action, pulled off the exposed 2,000 foot slopes to stronger positions. Allied and communist artillery dueled sporadically through the night. BUT YESTERDAY, Oregon edi- tor Sprague, armed with several relevant copies of the paper, spell- ed, out-in simple words with few syllables-the facts which The Daily has communicated to the Soviet bloc at least three times before: the editorial, entitled""I Killed the President," by former senior editor Rich Thomas, was intended as a takeoff on the rash of anti-Soviet fiction then cur- rent in American magazines. Sprague poined out, more- over, that the "editors felt the editorial was not fully under- stood and an explanation 'was printed by the newspaper the following day." That explanation was in the hands of the Byelor- ussian delegate when she made her original attack-but she did not mention it at the time. Mrs. Novokov's onslaught had charged that The Daily accused the White Russian Republic of building submarine bases at Minsk, a well-known inland city. In rebuttal Sprague explained once more that The Daily had as- sured him this obvious impos- sibility "was Inserted in the edi- torial purposely to add to the ridi- cule intended by the satire and with the knowledge that there could be no such base in Minsk." Potter Speaks DETROIT-(A)-Rep. Charles E. Potter, GOP nominee for U. S. Senator, declared last night that Communism is one of the issues in the election next Tuesday.

Eisenhower pledged last night to carry out a 10-point "program of progress' for America if he wins the presidency in Tuesday's elec- tion. EISENHOWER PLEDGED: 1. That as president he would serve "all the people, irrespective of their race, their creed, their national origin, and irrespective of how they voted." 2. That the social gains achieved by the people "whether enacted by a Reiublican or a Democratic ad- ministration are not only here to stay but are here to be improved and extended." 3. That he would work for "res- toration of integrity and compe- tence in our national government." 4. That the full resources of a GOP administration would be thrown into the battle against in- flation. He said the steady "whit- tling away of the value of the dol- lar" must be stopped. 5. That the Republicans will eliminate "waste, inefficiency and 'Birth of a Nation' Tickets Sold Out Season tickets for the Gothic Film Society are completely sold cut and no single seats will be sold for the showing of ":Birth of a Na- tion" at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Rackham Amphitheatre, Gothic Film manager Bill Wiegand,.

That he would 'support and strengthen, not weaken, the laws that protect the American worker." 7. That he will support pro- grams to promote, a healthy, prosperous agriculture; based on the present law calling for gov- ernment price supports of basic commodities. 8. That he would devote himself "to making an equality of oppor- tunity a living reality for every American." He said there is "no room left in America for second- class citizenship for anybody." 9.

That a Republican adminis- tration would pursue a "firm con- sistent foreign policy with one pri- mary goal-the attainment of peace in the world for ourselves and for all people." LATER IN A television, radio address, Eisenhower called Korea an important symbol of communist aggression but said the free world's attention must never be diverted from the possibility of a Soviet at- tack on western Europe. CHICAGO-(k')-Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson wound up 32,000 miles of campaign traveling in 35 states with the declaration last night there is an "electric feeling of victory in the air" for the Demo- crats Tuesday. At the same time, the Demo- cratic Candidate delivered a slash- ing attack on his Republican op- ponent, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hower, charging that he has of- fered a "strange picture" in the campaign. IN A SPEECH at a rally in Chi- cago stadium, which was preceded by a motorcade through the down- town area, Stevenson pictured Eis- enhower as "An anguished, reluc- tant, respected figure reciting dis- tasteful words, shaking hands that made him shudder, walking in Police Hold Edison Pair DETROIT-(IP)-Police investi- gating suspected gunfire sabotage in the Detroit Edison Co. strike detained two men last night after the pair refused to submit to lie detector tests,' Lt.

The police action, bearing on re- ports of rifle shots fired into power stations in Oakland county, came as the strike of 4,000 employes moved through its tenth day.

Michigan tumbled into a ti have a 3-1 mark. The victory was starts., Guilty of every miscue in th utes, the Wolverines spotted inspr Bennie Oosterbaan's team made a stirring about face after in- termission to shut out the visit- ors, 13-4, only made the defeat more heartbreaking. In the nightmarish first half Illinois blocked two Michigan punts in succession for a safety and its first two points. After Full- back Ken Miller slanted 25 yards to make the score 9-0, the flini intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble and turned them into two more touchdowns. At that, the margin might have grown considerably bigger during the first two periods except for some stout Michigan defensive play. Illinois first downs on Michi- gan's 27, 7 and 21-yard-lines on three different occasions in the initial quarter but failed to score. ILLINI PUNTS and a stout line kept Michigan deep in its own ter- ritory most of the first half. More than 26 minutes ticked by before the Wolverines broke into Illinois territory. Through the whole first half Michigan gained only 27 yards on 17 rushes and 19 yards by com- pleting 3 of 13 passes. So futile were the offensive gestures that Michigan's best scoring chance before intermis- sion was a defensive maneuver by safety man Lowell Perry. He made Michigan's only pass in- terception of the half on his own 30 and returned to the Illinois 20 just as the second period end- ed. Illinois by contrast ran the ball 24 times, with fullback Miller car- rying the load, and gained 98 yards in the - first half. Quarterback O'Connell completed nine of 21 passes for another 110 yards in that half. It was another story as soon as the third quarter started.

"That picture, I fear, appeals not just to soft hearts but to soft heads," the Illinois Gover- nor asserted. He scoffed, at what he said were the views, held by some per- sons that the Republican nom- inee will be the "old Eisenhower" after the election. "Well, I don't believe it and neither do they," Stevenson said. "This suggestion that he will double-cross his new-found friends as soon as he gets into office does credit neither to the . General's integrity nor to Senator Taft's vigilance." Stevenson said that when Eisen- hower was in the middle west he identified himself with "the most reactionary and isolationist wing of the Republican party." "But he recognized that the songs he sang in what he consid- ered isolationist territory would not be music to the ears of east- ern Republicans. So when he came east he summoned a new ghost from the Republican haunted house and asked for a new script." STEVENSON chose the windup of the campaign to make one of the most blistering assaults on Eisenhower that he has made in all the campaigns. He said the Republican party had "taken a bewildering variety of positions" during the campaign and then he said: "And in the Republican choir the General has shown an admirable capacity to sing bass, baritone and tenor all at once."

Visions of a New Year's in Cali- fornia faded in- the unseasonal sunlight yesterday for thousands of eager fans who all but shot into the field themselves in an' effort to back the team to victory. Providing some of the most in- tense cheering in many a mroon, the Michigan rooters screached with unaccustomed vigor to the bitter end. THE CONTRASTING silence afterwards was most reminicient of the post-game aura three years ago when Michigan lost to Army, ending a 25 game winning streak. Only relief from the dejected stillness was provided by a gre- garious bunch of Illini backers who pranced away from the Sta- dium and back to Campus Town with all their enthusiasm in tact. They went completely uncon- tested, even when they went so far as to parody "The Victors." Before the game, tickets were obtainable for practically nothing, or nothing at all, as if some stu- dents had a foreboding that there would really be nothing to cheer about. * * s BUT THERE were a few bright spots in an otherwise disappoint- ing afternoon. The Block-M section finally proved itself with some sharply executed half-time antics which ranged from a traditional"'UM" to an Autumn Nocturn ad fea- turing "TD" enclosed in an oak leaf. And the Michigan Marching Band, aided by some Boy Scout tribesmen from Detroit, greeted, the visitors with a thrumming In- dian routine. This included a sen- sational flaming-hoop dancer, an unidentifiedl member of the De- troit contingent, who twisted in and out of the circle of fire in tra- ditional form. Boner-of-the-week was provided by bandleader Tommy Dorsey. With the score a wilting 22-0, Dorsey got on the PA system for a short half-time "hello." "I can only say," he remarked, "I hope you're all enjoying the game as much as I am."
