Hot Debate Issue
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-()-
The UN Assembly's steering com-
mittee yesterday unanimously re-
commended, without a word of
debate, that the Assembly take up
the politically-hot question of
naming a successor to Secretary
General Trygve Lie.
The Assembly itself is expected
to agree with the recommenda-
tion late this week or early next
week and farm out the explosive
issue to a committee for full de-
bate. There is no indication when
the subject actually will be de-
bated.
* * *
LESTER B. PEARSON, Assem-
bly president who is considered a
possibility for the Lie post, con-
vened the steering committee. He
stated the question and said he
would recommend its inclusion on
the Assembly's agenda if no one
objected. No one moved.
But it was not that quiet in
the UN corridors. They are full
of rumors that Lie meant what
he said when he resigned Mon-
day, or that Lie was trying to
get a vote of confidence from
the Assembly by this method, or
that Lie could be persuaded to
stay on if the Security Council
could not agree on a successor.
One delegate who would not per-
mit identification said Lie stated
that if the Council cannot agree
on a secretary general he would
stay at his post until his extended
term ends Feb. 2, 1954. Lie's aides
counter this, however, with the
comment that Lie wants to get out
and that he is "fed tip" with all
the problems facing him.
The debate on Lie's resignation
promises to be one of the most
heated in theUN halls. Delegates
here are sayig that this really
involves the seemingly impossible
task of getting President Truman
or Olen. Eisenhower, Prime Minis-
ter Stalin, Prime Minister Chur-
chill, Premier Antoine Pinay and
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to
agree on one man. The big five
7 must agree on a new man under
the UN charter.
Edison Strike
St11l Unsettled
DETROIT-A)-Union leaders
in the three week strike against
Detroit Edison Co. refused yes-
terday to sign a formal settlement
after learning that seven strikers
had been disciplined by the firm.
Thus the walkout continued and
Edison put off indefinitely its
back-to-work schedules.
Negotiators had reached agree-
ment Saturday night on a new
contract calling for a 14-cent
hourly package. wage increase.
Members of the CIO Utility Work-
ers of America ratified it Monday.
All-American
For the third consecutive
year, the Michiganensian has
been awarded All-American
rating as one of the country's
top college yearbooks.
The award was presented by,
the Associated Collegiate Press
at its N.Y.C. con ention this
October. Rating I'sjudged by
comparison with college year-
books submitted from through-
out the country and based on
design, display, content quality,
undergraduate coverage and
publishing mechanics.

on campus today from 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m. at Engineeering Arch.
The price is $5.00 including tax.
CIO Leaders
Dehly Date
Of -Meeting
PITTSBURGH-(J)-CIO lead-
ers decided yesterday to delay
their 14th annual convention two
weeks and shift it from Los An-
geles to Atlantic City.
The decision to open' the con-
vention Monday, Dec. 1, instead of
next Monday was made because of
the death Sunday of CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray. The group
took no action on naming a new
president.
* * *
THE SHIFT was recommended
by the nine CIO vice presidents
who conferred here with Executive
Vice President Allan S. Haywood.
Their recommendation is certain
to be ratified when the Executive
Board convenes in Pittsburgh to-
morrow, the day after Murray's
funeral.
Although it was originally ex-
pected that the board would rec-
ommend someone to succeed Mur-
ray, there is now a possibility that
the board members will ignore the
issueand let it wait until Dec. 1.
A potential family fight arises
from the known desire of Walter
Reuther, president of the United
Auto Workers, to succeed Murray.
Although the Auto Workers is
the largest union in the CIO, and
pay one half of its total expenses,
there is strong resistance to
Reuther as president.
A number of other union presI-
dents are against his, becoming
president on the theory that he
and his Auto Workers would over-
shadow everybody else in the CIO.
The Steelworkers Union, of
which Murray was president, is
also opposed to Reuther becoming
president of the CIO. The union
has called a meeting of its 33-man
Executive Board for Saturday to
discuss plans. on how to elect a
new Steelworkers president.
Union leaders who oppose
Reuther are supporting Haywood
as president of the CIO. He is
executive vice-president of the or-
ganization.
However, since the vice presi-
dents and Haywood took no dis-
closed action on how to go about
naming a new president, that step
apparently will be left to conven-
tion delegates.
SL Opposes
Bias Claus
Scholarships
Friedman Motion
Gains Approval
After lengthy and detailed de-
bate, the Student Legislature last
night approved a motion to ask
the University to hereafter refuse
any scholarship grants which
must be awarded on a "basis of
race or religion."
Originally offered several weeks
ago by Ted Friedman, '53, the
proposal arose after a Daily ar-
ticle of Sept. 30 noted that the
University was currently admin-
istering four scholarships based
on criteria of race or religion.
* * *
FRIEDMAN'S proposal, which
finally passed by a three to one
margin, calls for a review of Uni-
versity policy on this matter, and
asks that any new discriminatory
grants be refused. However, the
SL motion does not propose that
preseit awards be discontinued
since they have already been ac-
cepted by the Regents and the
funds could not be returned.
Main points of debate last
night centered around the right
of the individual to give money
to the University as he pleased,
and the question of scholarships
which are offered to nationality
groups such as "women from
Oriental countries," who cur-
rently receive grants from the
Barbour fund.
Friedman maintained, in sup-
porting his plan, that the Uni-
versity had as much a right to
refuse discriminatory grants as
did the donor to offer them.
He also pointed out that schol-
arships to aid foreign students
were based on a different concep-
tion than the racial or religious
grants which he said "violate the
philosophy of equality in a de-
mocracy."

DETROIT-(M)-Gov. G. Men-
nen Williams picked up more votes
yesterday as canvassers completed
their work in all but three of Mich-
igan's counties.
Based on official returns from
82 counties and unofficial returns
from Wayne county, Williams held
a lead of 7,924 votes over Republi-.
can Fred M. Alger, Jr. These were
the totals:
Williams 1,430,407
Alger 1,422,483

ONLY WAYNE County remained
to be canvassed but its official
count could make a big difference,
Republicans said.
The changes, however. were
not expected to change Alger's
decision to ask for a recount
if the margin remains about the
same.
Senator Blair Moody, the Demo-
crat defeated by Rep. Charles Pot-
ter in unofficial returns was silent

LONDON, Eng.-(P)-It takes
more than an atom bomb to
blast to ruin good British beer.
That's the word of a British
serviceman's group which left
1,500 cases of beer behind when
scientific authorities prepared
to explode an A-bomb in the
Monte Bello Islands off the
Australian coast. After the
blast authorities discovered
that nearly everything else had
been blown to pieces except 18,-
000 cans of beer which are now
being guzzled at a temporary
canteen set up on the island.
Writer Says
EuropefCan
Be Defended-
"Europe is defensible" John
Scott, foreign correspondent for
Time Inc., claimed yesterday in a
talk at the Rackham amphithea-
tre.
The journalist came to this con-
clusion as a result of impressions
he gathered while in Europe for
nine weeks this summer. Scott
pointed out that although the
Russian divisions in Eastern Eu-
rope out number the Allied divi-
sions in Western Europe by a ra-
tio of three to two, "this ratio is
not sufficient to warrant aggres-
sion on either side."
SCOTT ADDED that in the next
years 31 more divisions area sup-
posed to be forthcoming from the
Western European na.tions. "If
these divisions are supplied," Scott
commented, "we will have achieved
parity with the Russians."
After talking with many Euro-
peans, Scott said he felt that
"narrow nationalism is being. re-
placed by a desire for pan-Euro-
peanism and that European unity
is not a hopeless cause."
When asked about neo-fascim
in Germany, Scott said that this
Is not real danger. "It is more the
attitude of the Americans rather
than the actual case," he added.
He explained that many mistake
German self-assertion for German
arrogance.
Predicting no war in the imme-
diate future, Scott concluded by
saying that the solution to the
world crisis lies in "a probable
historical osmosis" by which
parts of both the Soviet and West-
ern -system will be integrated.

Of f Hilltops.
SEOUL, Korea-('P)-South Ko-,
reans hurled the Chinese .Reds
from three peaks on the Central
Front in a heroic charge yesterday,
then crushed two nigt counter-
blows in the glare of big Allied
searchlights.
The 31st day of bruising battle
for the Kumhwa ridges found the
South Koreans once more in con-
trol of all ground lost to heavy
Chinese attacks Tuesday includ-
ing Pinpoint Hill, dominant height
on Sniper Ridge.
* * *
THE RETRAINED South Kor-
ean infantrymen stormed Pinpoint
while simultaneously rocking back
the Chinese from two peaks on the
flanks.
By nightfall they had recap-
tured Jane Russell Hill, a height
on Triangle Hill west of Sniper
Ridge, and Rocky foint to the
east. Rocky Point is a part of
the Sniper Ridge mass itself.
Through the night the batteries
of Allied searchlights turned the
battlefield into day.
The cost of the recent heavy hill
fighting was reflected in Washing-
ton's weekly casualty report. The
Defense Department reported 1,318
battle casualties through last Fri-
day, the largest weekly increase of
the year.
S* * *
THIS BROUGHT total U. S. cas-
ualties to 125,887. The figures in-
cluded 266 killed, bringing- the
war's total of killed in action to
19,712.
The fighting in the Sniper
Ridge-Triangle Hill sector was the
heaviest across the 155-mile battle
line yesterday. Eighth Army Head-
quarters reported several small
scraps and patrol clashes at scat-
tered points elsewhere.
Sable jets in sweeps over -North-
west Korea reported no engage-
ments.
Late Bulletin
SHELTON, Wash. - (R) -- A
Navy patrol plane with 11 men
aboard crashed in flames near
here this morning and state pa-
trolmen said it was unlikely
there were any survirors.
The Navy said the plane was a
four-engined privateer from its
Sand Point Naval Air Station
at Seattle.
The plane, groping through
rainy skies, plunged into a hill-
side on the Olympic Peninsula
some 15 miles northwest of here
about 12:30 a.m. EST.
EISENHOWER hasn't seen Tru-
man, his old commander-in-chief,
since well before the election,'
Nov. 4.
Truman is expected to give
his . successor a fill-in on the
present state of federal affairs.
Dodge told reporters he would
not try to mold the budget to the
new regime's ideas, and would ac-
cept no responsibility for the mul-
ti-billion dollar program President,
Truman will present to Congress
just before he leaves office.
DODGE went within two hours,
of his arrival here to the office of,
Frederick J. Lawton, director of
the budget, and posed with Law-
ton for cameramen. Then he
sparred with reporters -trying to,
determine his budget ideas.
Lawton grinned broadly as,
Dodge stepped around such ques-
tions as:
Whether he considered the
present administration's program
wasteful and inflationary, as Re-
publicans have often charged.
" WHETHER there was less post-
election talk. among Eisenhower's
advisers about budget and tax
cutting than there was before the
election.
There was no sign of friction
between him and Lawton. Dodge
said he thought Lawton would
make available to him all the in-
formation he might want, and
Lawton said Dodge could have "all
the information we have."
Dodge laid down this "hands
off" policy:.* *
"I AM NOT prepared to offer
.any suggestions on the new bud-.
get.
"My objective is to inform
myself and Gen. Eisenhower of
the facts and factors of this
budget so that he may have
some basis for drawing his own
conclusions."
However, Dodge hinted that the
Eisenhower administration would
make budget changes later. He
said presidents even make chang-
es in their own estimates of ex-
penses.
IFC, IHC Men

Will Confer
Tomorro'w
AUGUSTA, Ga.-(A')-President-
elect Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York will talk over the general's
forthcoming trip to Korea and
other policy matters ,at a confer-
ence here tomorrow.
And Eisenhower will hold an
important round of policy-making
meetings in New York next week
with other Republican leaders,
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio,
chairman of the Senate GOP -pol-
icy committee, may sit in.
PLANS FOR the Eisenhower-
Dewey conference and the New
York sessions were announced at
the genleral's vacation headquar-
ters here yesterday by his press
secretary, James C. Hagerty.
Arrangements for the meeting
came against a background of
reports that Dewey will get a
cabinet post in the new GOP
administration. He has been
mentioned for Secretary of State
or Secretary of Defense.
Dewey said last week, however,
that he intends to serve out his
term as governor It runs for two
more years.
HAGERTY, who was secretary
to Dewey before joining the Eisen-
hower staff last July, said he had
no idea whether the General
would ask the Governor to join
his cabinet. Dewey, the GOP con-
tender for the presidency in 1944
and 1948, figured largely in Eisen-
hower's winning the nomination.
He went on to point out
that he had no information on
whether the General plans to
consult with John Foster Dulles,
Republican 'foreign policy ad-
viser, before going to Korea.
Hagerty repeated that no date
has been fixed yet for Eisenhower's
trip to Korea.
Dewey's scheduled, meeting with
the president-elect to discuss the
Korean trip, among other matters,
carne amid reports that Eisenhow-
er aides already have been in
touch with the Pentagon regard-
ing arrangements for the visit and
- more important - the military
situationkin Korea.
Hagerty declined to specify
what policy matters in addition
to the Korean trip will be on the
Eisenhower-Dewey agenda at Fri-
day's conference.

President-elect Eisenhower
would have been able to deliver his
own budget message if Congress
had taken a University professor's
advice seventeen years ago.
