LXIII, No. 42 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1952 FOUR PAGES 'I 'THIS I BELIEVE': Belief in God Enr ches Life* EDITOR'S NOTE: In conjunction with the lecture series, "This I Be- lieve," The Daily is presenting statements of belief of prominent members of the University community. Pete Thorpe is president of the Interfraternity Council. By PETE THORPEf Over 5C years ago a young physician administered to the many children who were stricken with disease in a local orphanage. In spite of his tireless efforts, a fortnight later nearly all of his patients were dead. Medicine was helpless before the epidemic, and the very founda- tions of the physician's faith in Science and Himself were nearly shattered. Some 50 years later I listened to my grandfather's story of the' epidemic and found great truth in the maxim he presented: "You cannot live without God, if for no other reason than that sometime during your life you will need Him desperately, as I did at the or- phanage. With Him, your life is richer." I appreciate my God, not just in a formalized way, but more perhaps in ways which are obvious at the moment only to me. I ant humbled before His inspiration in nature's rhythmic splendor and in man's creative strength. I begin my week with God in the sanctity of His church, but hold His tenets to apply in a very real way to my day-to-day living throughout the week. His Com- mandments guide my daily decision and action. The Lord's Pray- er is a simple reminder. "Thy will be done," yet I am often puzzled by evil. Are decisions and actions which appear to me in violation of God's Commandments in accordance with God's will? I would kill my fellow man in war to protect what I believe, yet how far can I compromise God's doctrine of love? I value my -right to judge, but I ask God's guidance of my judgment. I value my family and the love we share. Today, when so much is valued in pennies, it is refreshing to find the family a bastion where benevolence is not punched out on a time clock and carefully totaled in red or black ink. In my daily experience with my fellow man I have discovered a fountain of knowledge. I have never met an individual, what- ever his station in life, from whom I could not learn something. True happiness is obtained through Christian charity. Only in that measure which I give of myself do I receive happiness. It is for this reason that I look to the ministerial, medical, or teaching professions for my life's work. Finally, my personal goal is perfection in whatever task I under- take. I believe that any task worth doing is worth doing well although I realize the human body limits me from reaching perfection in this life. I look for God's resurrection of the dead and coAceive the human soul as perfect and capable of ultimately reaching the goal for which I now strive. This I believe.

State troopers got their orders as an almost certain demand for a recount impended in the close vote fight between Democratic in- cumbent Gov. G. Mennen Williams and Republican Fred M. Alger, Jr. GOV. WILLIAMS, by-passing consent from the. State Board of Canvassers, odered the police to check the location and condition of all of the ballot boxes. Williams, who sought an un- partIled third Democratic term, remained slender winner over Alger on the basis of partly of- ficial tabulations. He won out on the first unof- ficial tabulation. He kept a slim lead in corrected figures as the of- ficial canvass got under way. With 53 of the state's 83 coun- ties canvasses officially, Williams had a margin of 7,267 votes. This was the setup: Williams (D) 1,430,019 Alger (R) 1,422,752 The 53 officially recorded coun- ties comprise 1,415 precincts of Michigan's 4,479. Democratic Wayne County was not included among the 53. Wayne has 1,831 precincts. * * * IMMEDIATELY upon Governor Williams' order to the State Police another issued from the State Po- lice Commissioner, Joseph A. Childs. Commissioner Childs relayed Williams' order to his men and also directed them to "make cer- tain" that the ballot boxes are be- ing "properly protected under lock and key." As events tended to make cer- tain of a repition of Michigan's 1950 governor's vote =recount, it was left uncertain when the state would know for sure the identity of its new governor. T imoshenko Emphasizes SovietMight MOSCOW-WA~-Marshall Sem- yon Timoshenko, in a revolution anniversary speech, asserted yes- terday that Soviet armed forces have everything they need to re- pel any invader and are "better able than ever before to answer an aggressor with a strong blow." This theme was similar to that of the main speaker Thursday at the Boshoi Theater on the eve of this 35th anniversary celebra- tion of the Bolshevik revolution. Prime Minister Stalin was present both last night, when Deputy Prime Minister Mikhail Peruvkhin expressed this idea, and at yester- iay's parade ceremonies which Timoshenko reviewed. Wolverines, dig Red Clash d Tilt In Intersectional Gr1 Ike Agrees To Liaison Aide Request WASHINGTON-(MP-President and President-elect began setting up yesterday a liaison system for shifting from the old administra- tion to the new vast problems of foreign affairs, defense and finance. President Truman rushed a telegram to the man who will suc- ceed him, asking that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower place representa- tives in the State and Defense De- partments "at the earliest possible moment." Eisenhower rushed back a reply and an aide indicated the general would select these representatives at once and get them to Washing- ton. * * /* TRUMAN ,disclosed that he also had sent a personal messenger to Eisenhower, who is resting from campaign rigors at Augusta, Ga. A White House spokesman said Col. Albert L. Cox of the Air Force had carried to Eisenhower a written message suggesting still other "lines of co-operation" in the weeks before the general is inaugurated on Jan. 20. Truman and Eisenhower al- ready have agreed the general should send someone to Wash- ington to work on the budget the President must submit to Congress before Eisenhower moves into the White House. And Truman accepted Friday the Nov. 17 date Eisenhower tentatively suggested for the personal meeting between the two men which the President had proposed. In agreeing Thursday to Tru- man's proposal for a personal con- ference the general said he needed "a reasonable time for conversa- tions and conferences leading up to the designation of important assistants." The problem of a smooth switch-over from one administra- tion to the other entered into cabinet deliberations yesterday. Atty. Gen. MGranery so in- formed newsmen after a 45-min- ute Cabinet session at the White House-the first since the election. Labor Says Vote Went Democratic WASHINGTON-(P) - Spokes- men for both the AFL and CIO claimed Friday that organized la- bor voted overwhelmingly Demo- cratic in Tuesday's elections, but the union members were simply out-voted by the rest of the pop- ulation. They claimed that the size of the Democratic voting in large in- dustrial areas indicated that union members supported the Democrats. Small Gathering To atch Battle Cornell Holds Series Edge, 12-5; 'M' Looks for Non-Conference Win By JOHN JENKS Associate Sports Editor Michigan's big chance to reverse a current football trend presents itself this afternoon when the Wolverines take on lightly regarded Cornell before an estimated Stadium gathering of 50,000 die-hard fans. Kickoff time is 2:00 p.m. THOUGH COACH Bennie Oosterbaan's charges have been es- tablished as 19 favorites, a Michigan win would buck tradition, The Big Red is one of the few teams that hold a series edge over the Maize and Blue, the all-time re- sults favoring Cornell 12-5.

S. House of Rep- resentatives. Final, official tallies in some of the races may not be' decided for weeks. Latest returns showed the Re- publicans in hairline control of the House with 220 GOP candi- dates elected against 209 Demo- crats. Control requires 218. One of the elected Democrats, 86-year- old. Rep. Adolph Sabath of Illinois died yesterday thus reducing the Democratic roster to 208. If the present trend continues, the makeup of the House when the new 83rd Congress convenes next Jan. 3 will be: Republicans 221; Democrats 213 (one vacancy), In- dependents 1. SIX CONTESTS were in doubt until today when late returns brought victory to Democrat Don Magnuson over Republican Al Canwell in the race for represen- tative-at-large in the state of Washington. With 43 precincts still out, the vote was Magnuson 477,590, Carwell 462,594. UNBtt* r atteries Silence Reds ley of songs of Cornell and such pieces as "My Heart Is Victorious," by Giacomo Carissimi, "More Was Lost At Mohacs Field" by F. L. Korbay, and "Finiculi, Finicula" by Luigi Denza. An arrangement by Robert Shaw of "Set Down Servant" will also be presented, followed by "La Danza," by Rossini. Varying Cornell's half of the entertainment will be a triple quartet, the Cayuga's Waiter's. This group was formed to add small unit work to the concerts and is Cornell's counterpart of the "Wiffenpoofs" of Yale and the "Naussoons" of Princeton. Cayuga's Waiters sing light, modern numbers, Negro spirituals, semi-classical and show music. AFTER THE Cornell Club has harmonized, the Michigan Men's Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Philip Duey, will take the stage to begin their half with the invocation to the Muses used by the club for the last four years. This opening piece is "Laudes Atque Carmina" by A. A. Stanley. Numbers offered by Michigan will include "Woman in the Shoe," "Clementine," a traditional Ameri- can folk song, and "County Fair," an arrangement by Mel Torme. The evening will come to a close with the.two clubs Joining in the singing of the Alma Maters of both schools. Tickets, priced at $2.20, $1.50 and 90 cents will continue on sale at the Hill Auditorium box office until showtime. Yugoslavians End Politburo ZAGREB, Yugoslavia-(4')-The Yugoslav Communist party yes- terday substituted a 15-man Ex- ecutive Committee headed by Pre- mier Marshal Tito for Tito's old nine-man Politburo. The Politburo was abolished. The ruling party concluded its first general Congress since 1948 after repledging its support of Cornell University-in spite of its membership in the Ivy League and its peaceful New England-type campus-is no typical Eastern col- lege. Its paradoxical position of being privately controlled with public support (it is the land-grant col- lege of the State of New York) is reflected in the dual nature of its both urban and rural campus and in its broad educational system. * * * WITH A central campus located in the quiet rural setting of New York's Finger Lakes, Cornell has looked to the metropolitan centers Szell To Lead Concert at Hill Marking the beginning of its Thirty-fifth Anniversary Season, the Cleveland Symphony Orches- tra will perform the second con- cert in the Extra Concert Series at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Au- ditorium. The orchestra, conducted by George Szell, has become well known for its work in the fields of contemporary music as well as for its performances of the tradition- al masterpieces. The program tomorrow night will include the Overture to "Ben- venuto Cellini" by Berlioz; Sym- phony No. 2 in C major by Schu- mann; and Symphony No. 2 in D major by Sibelius. of New York City and Buffalo for establishment of a Medical Col- lege and an aviation research Aer- onautical Laboratory. Set in a territory which im- plies respect for the convention- al, Cornell has operated on an educational policy of defying tradition. The now 10,000 stu- dent university opened in 1868 with a program new to 19th cen- tury classical and literary devo- tees. It included modern languages, history, social studies, science, public health and engineering- a series of comparatively broad steps for a new-born institution to take. , The concept promoted by the school's founder, Ezra Cornell, of providing "an institution where any person can find instruction in any study" has not been swallowed up in Cornell's 84 year history. In addition it supports a foot- ball team, but any prejudgment on that count appears unsafe. Janitors Send Out False Fire Alarm Three Ann Arbor Fire Depart- ment engines raced to a false alarm at 2:45 p.m. yesterday at the East Engineering building. Firemen reported that the glass in the fourth floor alarm box had been broken and the alarm set off when some janitors accidently knocked over several cartons they were stacking. The Wolverines also have been shut out In non-conference competition since they bested Dartmouth, 27-7, two years ago. In the interim the gridders have dropped single decisions to Army and Cornell, and double verdicts to Stanford and Michi- gan State., Going into today's contest the Wolverines find themselves cast in exactly the same role they oc- cupied a year ago. At that time Michigan had an overall 3-3 rec- ord and was favored over the Ith- acans. But the Big Red rose up and1 slapped a 20-7 upset on MichiganI to contribute to an unprofitable 4-5 Blue season record. Two fac- tors should help the Wolverines avoid a second grid catastrophe at the hands of Cornell. For one thing many of the present Michigan personnel were on the squad which lost last year, and a second humilia- tion by the Big Red definitely doesn't appeal to them. But the biggest reason Michi- gan is heavily favored lies in the fact that Coach Lefty James' team, though trying for a come- back, is one of the nation's weak-, er aggregations. In six tilts to date the Big Red has accumulated but a single win, losing to Colgate, Navy, Syr- acuse, Yale and Princeton before edging Columbia last week by vir- tue of a three touchdown, forth quarter rally. During this period James' outfit averaged only one touchdown a game and scored only once by rushing. In the Yale fracas the Big Red gained three yards on the ground and five in the air to highlight a losing cause. See BOOL, Page 3 Vote Turnout Sets Record WASHINGTON-(I)-About 61. per cent of the adult population turnednout to vote in Tuesday's election-the biggest percentage in history-a survey indicated yes- terday. That compares with 59 per cent in the Roosevelt-Willkie race of 1940, the previous record. Only- 52 per cent of the adult population chose to vote in the last presiden- tial election in 1946. Counting minor party candidates and the remaining precincts, the total outpouring of ballots might reach 60 million. The Census bureau estimates the total population at voting age as 98,400,000. Thus the vote would be about 61 per cent of the total adult population. Air Force Plane Lost Over Alaska FAIRBANKS, Alaska - (') - A May Cause Ikse Trouble' WASHINGTON- (P) -Presi- dent-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower's trouble-shooting talents appeared headed for a quick test within his own party yesterday amid signs of a possible GOP row over leader-. ship in the Senate. There were indications that Eisenhower himself may take a hand in settling the matter at a projected meeting with Republi- can congressional leaders early next month. MEANWHILE late returns from Eisenhower's landslide victory in the presidential election still rolled in. The latest Associated Press tally showed Eisenhower with a grand total of 33,029,304 votes against 26,584,344 for his Dem- ocratic opponent, Gov. Adla Stevenson of Illinois. Principals in the behind-the- scenes rivalry for the post of Sen- ate GOP leader were publicf non- committal, but at least six key sen- ators were mentioned as prospects for the job. The scramble was touched off when Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, the present GOP floor leader, passed the word that he would prefer to take over the less burdensome role of temporary president of the Senate-president pro tem-which ranks third in the line of succession to the White House. Bridges, the dean of Senate Republicans, became floor lead- er in a peace move a year ago following the death of Sen. Ken- neth Wherry of Nebraska. Bridges agreed to serve as Wherry's successor to avert a threatened clash between the rival Taft-Eisenhower camps in the bit- ter pre-convention fight for the Republican presidential nomina- tion. Mentioned as Bridges' successor -if the New Hampshire senator- steps down as floor leader-re Senators Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts, Homer Ferguson of Michigan, William Knowland of California, Homer Capehart of In- diana, Bourke B. Hickenlooper of Iowa and Everett Dirksen of Ill- nois. State Reviews LapeerDeath LANSING-()-Attorney Gen- eral Frank G.
