LXIII, No. 40 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1952 SIX PAGES Williams, Potter Appear in; Recount Foreseen Lecture Motion' ApprovedbyS By HARRY LUNN With only two dissenting votes the Student Legislature decided last night to submit to the Regents a Lecture Committee recommenda- tion which would end "bannings" of speakers. Instead of the present system of prejudgment of speakers by the Lecture Committee, the plan would substitute postjudgment of speeches uider existing 'Regents' criteria on speakers. IF PASSED, the proposed plan would be on a trial basis with re-evaluation after two years. 4 * * * * * * Senior Class Holds Contest For U' Seal The Class of '53 will sponsor an art contest to select an appropriate design to replace the seal on the Diag which was removed this sum- mer, the Senior's Gift Committee announced yesterday..

Chambers Stricken By Heart Attack BALTIMORE -(P)- Whittaker Chambers, the man who put the finger on Alger Hiss, lay seriously ill of a heart attack in St. Agnes Hospital yesterday. The 52-vea.r-nd Chamhers. ad- The proposal provides that stu- dent organizattons, fully recog- nized by the Student Affairs Com- mittee and not on probation, are free to sponsor speakers of their choice, and be granted impartial permission to use University prop- erty if the group, prior to sponsor- ing the speaker, informs the Lec- ture Committee of the proposed speech and submits a signed pledge that the talk will not vio- late the Regents' criteria. * * * THESE priteria as listed in the motion ask that the speech: 1) Shall be "in spirit and ex- pression worthy of the University." 2) Shall "serve the education- al interests of the academic community." ' 3) Shall not violate the "recog- nized rules of hospipality" 4) Shall not advocate "the subversion of the government of the United States nor of the state." 5) Shall not "urge the de- struction or modification of government by violence or un- lawful methods." 6) Shall not "advocate or justify conauct which violates the funda- mentals of our accepted Coue of morals." * *, * Should it be alleged that this pledge was broken the Lecture Committee would recommend that the student Joint Judiciary Coun- cil hold a hearing and forward recommendations for disciplinary action to the Sub-Committee on Discipline. Last night's action climaxed a three-week waiting period dur- ing which SL's original motion of last May 21 was studied by a special re-evaluation committee. The major change suggested by the group and approved by the Legislature was in the pledge that the sponsoring group would sign before bringing a speaker here. Last spring's motion only pro- vided a pledge that "the speaker will not advocate violent over- throw of the government and that the meeting will be orderly." * * * MAIN DEBATE last night cen- tered on several of these criteria. At the outset, study committee chairman Dave Brown, '53, com- mented that the group had felt the criteria were worthwhile, but several-members attacked the cri- terion that a speaker shall not ad- vocate "subversion'' on grounds that this term was too nebulous. Sondra Diamond, '53, moved deletion of this provision saying that it "is the loop-hole in the motion which will defeat our purpose." Her motion was voted down as was one by Bob Perry, '53, which would have deleted all criteria ex- cept that no speech can be given "which urges the destruction or modification of government by violence or other unlawful meth- ods." However, members did vote to eliminate a clause which would have prohibited speeches which might serve "the political inter- ests" of a party or candidate. Alger Edged; 'Soapy' Near ThirdTerm Moody's Election Drive Falls Short DETROrI-(MP-For the second straight election, Gov. G. Mennen Williams has ridden out the field of GOP rivals and come down to the tape for a photo finish while Sen. Blair Moody appeared to have lost by 40,000 votes. With a handful of scattered out- state precincts uncounted in the unofficial tabulation from Tues- day's election, Williams held a lead over Republican Fred M. Alger, Jr. of 3,948. THE PROBABILITY of a re- count in such a finish was widely accepted. Alger refused to com- ment till the entire score was known but he was expected to de- mand a recount if he trailed at the end by under 10,000 votes. Williams race, whether he winds up behind or ahead, was amazing in the light of the light of the smashing state vic- tory by Dwight D. Eisenhower and the apparent election of state Republican ticket by good margins. Eisenhower captured Michigan's 20 electoral votes with a plurality well on its way over 325,000 and which gave indications of reach- ing 500,000 Votes outstate. He lost Wayne County by 165,000 votes, compared to the 167,781 lost by Thgmas E. Dewey in 1948. Dewey carried the state by 35,000. * *, * THE OTHER star in the Dem- ocrat's crown, U.S. Senator Blair Moody fought a dogged uphill bat- tle in his first appearance before the voters but appeared to have peen beaten. Moody, after an amazing race for an underdog, was licked by Cong. Charles E. Potter of Che- boygan, legless World War II veteran who left the House to meet Moody at the polls. The entire state GOP ticket seemed to be safe, running more like Eisenhower than Alger. The closest was Senator Clar- ence A. Reid of Detroit, the GOP nominee for lieutenant governor, who was heading fromer Lt. Gov. John W. Connolly of Detroit by about 55,000 votes with 220 pre- cincts missing. -' * * ATTORNEY General Frank G. Millard of Flint won reelection on the GOP ticket with a majority crowding 255,000 over his towns- man, Democratic John Damm. State Republican Chairman Owen J. Cleary was elected sec- retary of state over Robert S. McAllister of Grand Rapids by about 218,00. State Treasurer D. Hale Brake of Stanton won his sixth term by defeating Democrat William L. Johnson of Ironwood by 200,000- odd. Auditor General John B. Martin, Jr., of Grand Rapids was reelected with a margin of 120,000 over Rob- ert J. Baker of Adrian. The only other Democrat to es-' cape the Eisenhower landslide was State Supreme Court Justice Clark J. Adams of Pontiac, who ran on a non-partisan ticket for' the high court. Proposals No. 1 and No. 3 passed' and No. 2 was soundly licked. The unofficial count indicted; that Michigan cast an unprece- dented 2,780,000 to 2,800,000 votes. The old mark was 2,200,000 in 1944. GOP Co ITH SLE DER h 4, Nine House Places' Remain Undecided Republicans Elect 219, Dems 206; Hold Two Seat Margin in Senate By The Associated Press Control of both houses of Congress passed into Republican hands last night, but by slender majorities which failed to match the electoral landslide which swept Dwight D. Eisenhower into the White House. With only nine House contests undecided, the GOP had elected b19, or one more than the necessary majority of the 435-member House. Democrats elected 206.

S. naval defensive zone in Korean waters. She said the U. S. naval order of Sept. 27 was an extension of a 1950 blockade which violated freedom of the seas. The note called the order a "new aggressive act" and said Russia put full responsibility for "the consequences" on the United States government. * * * SEOUL-Allied leaders ordered courageously charging South Kor- ean troops to break off their sev- enth frontal attack on Triangle Hill during daylight yesterday and let artillery power take over the brunt of battle. BY 3,000 MAJORITY: Voters Pass Proposals For County Courthouse Washtenaw County voters yes- terday gave the final endorsement for erection of a new Courthouse on the site of the present one by approving two financial measures for the project. The bonding proposal, which calls for. issuance of $3,250,000 worth of bonds to finance con- struction, squeeked through by a vote of 16,816 to 13,914. However, the companion pro- posal, which raises taxes on Coun- ty property in order to pay off the bond issue, passed by a more healthy 24,160 to 18,917 votes. * * * ' CONSTRUCTION on the court- house could begin within six months, according to architect R. S. Gerganoff. Mayor William E. Brown said he was very happy that the Courthouse would be erected, and was glad Ypsilanti support- ed the proposals as well as they did. Election night, he expressed fears that the proposals would be defeated by a few hundred votes has happened in 1950. Early elec- tion returns seemed to bear out his worry, but the Ann Arbor vote was heavy enough to overcome the Ypsilanti turnout. Ypsilanti voted against both proposals in a four to one ratio. In 1950, however, Ypsilanti turn- ed in a plurality of nearly nine to one against similar proposals. Passage of the proposals marks the climax of one of the most heated controversies in the his- tory of the County. * * , IN THE COUNTY election of officers, the expected clean sweep for the GOP became a reality when the final votes were counted yes- terday. All candidates swung into early leads, and the votes contin- ued to pile up throughout the tallying. The only Democrat who was successful was Coroner William H. Dickson, who was unopposed. Washtenaw County, in tradi- tional fashion, heavily supported both State and National GOP candidates. By a margin of two to one, the voters approved State Proposal Three for reapportioning the Legislature and, in nearly the same ratio, turned down the CIO plan for reapportionment. State Proposal One passed with only token opposition. The pro- posal deals with evidence in nar- cotics trials. At this point in all-but-com- plete tabulation of Tuesday's balloting, Republicans had scor- ed 23 House gains while the Democrats had overturned six Republicans for a net GOP gain of 17. The surge of the Eisenhower sweep carried Republicans to a hairline edge when Rep. Charles Potter, legless war veteran, late yesterday upset Democratic Sen. See ELECTION ROUNDUP, Pg. 6 Blair" Moody to win Michigan's1 junior Senate seat for the GOP. Potter's victory gave the Repub- licans 49 seats if Sen. Morse of Oregon is counted and left the Democrats with 47. This exactly reversed the Democrats 49-47 edge in the present Congress. Forty-nine is a bare majority. But the degree of Republican con- trol was obscured by the tantaliz- ing question posed by Oregon's insurgent Sen. Wayne Morse. 4, * * MEANWHILE President Tru- man Wednesday proposed a quick White House conference with the man who will take his place-a meeting to convince the world, Truman said, "that this nation is united in its struggle for freedom and peace." The outgoing President, hid- ing any disappointment under a manner of jauntiness, dis- closed at a highly informal and rather sad session with photo- graphers and onlooking report- ers that he had telegraphed this invitation to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.. Truman had little more to say - that the Democrats, though. they have suffered a crushing election defeat, will try again an- other day. * , * IN STATE ELECTIONS Repub- licans captured at, least four gov- ernorships from the Democrats in Tuesday's voting, while holding onto all of their own. Of the 30 governors' seats up in this year's elections, the Republi- cans elected or re-elected their men to 19. Democrats succeeded Democrats in nine other states. Counting holdovers and Re- publican Burton M. Cross who was elected governor of Maine Sept. 8, the GOP could rely on a minimum of 29 statehouse foot- holds. Illinois voters rejected Goy. Ad- lai Stevenson's candidate to suc- ceed him in the Springfield capi- tol. Democrat Lt.-Gov. Sherwood P. Dixon bowed to William G. Stratton by more than 200,000 votes. In Ohio, however, Democrat Gov. Frank J. Lausche took the measure of Republican Charles P. Taft, brother of Ohio's senior senator. It was a fourth term for Lausche, an independent Democrat. Massachusetts' Gov. Paul A. Dever, keynote speaker at the many Issues Face New Legislators, By RUSSELL BRINES WASHINGTON-P)-The new- ly chosen Congress faces half a dozen major issues, including a~ thorough revieW of the nation's machinery for war mobilization. The next session, beginning Jan. 3, may be stormy and probably will be of fundamental importance. IN ADDITION to major interna- tional and military problems, the legislators must decide whether to continue the present high tax rates and what to do about wage and price controls. They probably will consider changes in the controversial Taft-Hartley Act. The Senate may argue about altering its ,. rules to allow civil rights legis- lation. Congressional investigations are likely to be stepped up, with heavy emphasis on uncovering waste in military expenditures and explor- ing Communist activity. A new probe of tax-free institutions is expected to begin next year. * , * THERE ARE the main issues be- fore the 83rd Congress: Military expenditures-the ad- ministration last March requested 51 billion dollars which was cut to $46,600,000,000 for one year's re- armament. Pentagon officials are talking now of asking between 41 and 46 billion for next year. Con- gress is expected to contend, as in the past, that the buildup can be accomplished more economically. Two House and two Senate committees are due to continue exploring alleged waste and to' insist on administrative changes. Foreign assistance-Congress re- duced President Truman's foreign aid program for this year from $7,900,000,000 to $6,031,000,000. Officials say the new budget will approximate the 1952 requests. Taxes-All major tax increases voted in 1951 to help finance de- fense will expire by law in 1953 and 1954. These include the boost of 11 per cent and more in per- sonal income taxes, now effective until Dec. 31, 1953. The 83rd Con- gress must take action if these increased rates are to remain in effect.

Miss Moorehead. removing her By MARK READER Mixed emotions permeated the political science department yes- terday, as University professors re- acted strongly to the outcome of the presidential, Congressional, and Gubernatorial races. The department had substan- tially supported the candidacy of Gov. Adlai Stevenson before the Nov. 4 ballot had been cast. * * * CHAIRMAN of the department, James K. Pollock, former member of the Hoover Commission and ad- and organizing his relations with the new congress before passing judgment. Gloom ind a feeling of shock manifested itself in Democratic. ,supporters as the nation wide GOP sweep became- clearer as the day progressed. Prof. N. Marbury Efimenco, ex- pert on Near Eastern affairs in the department said he was completely surprised by the absence of a strong Northern vote for the form- er Illinois governor. powerful in the new congress than in the last. Cuts in foreign expenditures, re- duction of taxes, and a possible re- alignment of parties were predict- ed by most of the Democrats. Prof. Effimenco summed up the reason for Stevenson's loss by saying, "It doesn't always pay to talk sense to the American people. An intellectual does not always appeal to the voters." Prof. Robert E. Ward, Far East- ern specialist said- that he was
