LXIII, No. 46 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1952 SIX Pi I UN Begins Work on Lie Replacement Assembly Given * 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.

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." * * * " s Legislature Appoints New StudyGroup The special Student Legislature committee on evaluation of cam- put organizations was appointed at last night's meeting. Formed to study and suggest possible changes in the present campus organizational structure, the group will be headed by Bill MacIntyre, Grad.

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 meanwhile on reports the Demo- crats may seek a recount or inves- tigation of the election in his be- half STATE DEMOCRATIC Chair- man Neil Staebler of Ann Arbor said the party has received several reports of "violations, errors and irregularities." Gov. Williams last night re- leased a State Police report which showed that security measures to safeguard ballots of the Nov. 4 election were "ques- tionable" in 38 of the 40 coun- ties examined. State police are conducting an examination of methods taken by the county to guard the ballot boxes in the case of a recount in the gubernatorial election. Research Center To Poll Students The Survey Research Center will begin a survey on the students' at- titudes concerning the quality of the University Counseling service. Graduate students in Psychology and Sociology research methods will interview two hundred stu- dents chosen at random b their academic counselors. These stu- dents, in the College of Literature Science and Arts, will be asked questions concerning their amount of experience with academic coun- selors, their attitudes toward them and how much the counselor in- fluences their choice of courses. Strong Stuff 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. UN Troops Drive Reds 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 Hold Meeting Inter-House Council inembers and officers of the Interfraternity Council held the first in a series of meetings yesterday designed to re- solve the frequent -controversy over fraternity men entering the residence halls during the two- week formal rushing periods. However, the group, consisting of West Quad Council president Sam Alfieri, '54A&D, IFC presi- dent Pete Thorpe, '3, IFC vice-president Sandy Robertson, '53BAd., and IHC representative to the residence halls' board of governors, Ted Bohuszewicz, '54A&D, refused to comment bn the outcome of their discussion. Bohuszewicz said that although no decisions were made some points had been brought out which he and Alfieri wished to refer to the IHC executive council- before releasing to the public. The committee plans to hold another meeting next Thursday. *) * IkseDewey 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.

ERIK TUXEN Conductor Judge Su ppOrts By JON SOBELOFF 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. Prof .E e rtt S. Braw n.f fthe man delivering Eisenhower's budget message could have been avoided if an unopposed bill that passed the House in 1940 hadn't died in Senate committee." The tricky problem that now regular sessions on January 3, the latest date for presentation of the budget is January 18. The Constitution provides that the newly elected President take office on January 20. Thus iPrpaeiAnt Truman. is ,.n4.ad President's views on the functions and activities of government. This means that Truman will have to state Eisenhower's policies--an awkward situation to put it mild- ly. the message - but Truman will still have to present it," he added. "It would' be possible," Prof. Brown through, "for the newly elected Congress to pass an im- mediately effective law which would solve the problem between
