Hennings told reporters after an all day closed hearing that the subcommittee "heard the argu- ments on the controversy" but had come to no decision. * * * TWO DEFEATED legislative candidates petitioned the House of Representatives yesterday for re- counts of the Nov. 4 election re- sults in their districts, the second 1 and seventh Wayne County dis- tricts. The petitions were filed by Joseph I. Jackson, Highland Park Democrat, and Raymond T. Doherty, Garden City Demo- crat. R. Stanton Kilpatrick, Grand Rapids city clerk, recommended to Gov. G. Mennen Williams' elec- tion study commission yesterday that Michigan stop using separate ballots for presidential and state candidates. O ther changes recommended by Kilpatrick included: * * COMPLETE elimination of all local special election questions from the presidental balloting. Protecting the franchise rights of a registered elector who moves into another governmental unit in the last 30 days before an election. Establishment of firm qualifica- tion standards for all precinct chairman, inspectors and clerks. Provision for counting absentee ballots separately, crediting them to the residence precinct or add- ing them to the over-all total. Clarifying the standards for challengers, particularly as to resi- dence and proper identification. Meanwhile, a campaign financial statement by Charles E. Potter, Republican, on file with the Che- boygan County Clerk yesterday left untold the total amount spent in his campaign for U. S. senator. Vulcans Plan Low Vacation Travel Rates Special reduced rate railroad transportation for students home- ward bound for Christmas vaca- tion will be provided by Vulcans, engineering honorary. Students traveling on the all- student reserved seat cars will save 16 to 17 per cent on regular round trip rates, according to John Knudsen, '53E, advertising man- ager for the Vulcan project. More than 400 students took ad- vantage of the fare saving last year and Knudsen expects about the same number this year. Special fares are offered to New York, Al- bany, Boston, Rochester, Buffalo and Chicago. Knudsen pointed out that stu- dents traveling through any of these cities could take advantage of the holiday saving to get to the city and then continue their trip at regular fare. He added that stu- dents could return to Ann Arbor on any train with their tickets. The Vulcans will use the profits from their low rate venture to pro- vide funds for various worthwhile campus needs, Knudsen said. Knudsen suggested interested students call Gordon Carpenter, '53E, 24481, for further informa- tion on the bargain rates. Generation Sale Begins Tomorrow Generation, the campus inter- arts magazine will go on sale to- morrow for $.35. Printed in magazine form for the first time this semester, the is- sue will include poetry, short stories, essays, music and art. Also included will be answers to a drama questionaire sent out by Crei,'npr.i to, rir.n n,'n-. r~ni Reuther Certain Of GIO Posi tion Leaders Work To Heal Presidency Rift with Opposing Haywood Group ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-( P)-The CIO worked yesterday to re- pair a deep rift in its ranks over choosing a new CIO president, a scrap not yet over but apparently won by 45-year-old Walter Reuther. The dynamic, red-haired Reuther, president of the big CIO auto workers union, was widely conceded as having whipped together. enough votes to get the CIO presidency in any convention showdown. TOP OFFICIALS were trying to get forces backing CIO Executive Vice President Allan S. Haywood, a 64-year-old veteran union leader World News Roundup --dwho came up from the coal mines, to back off and concede to Reu- ther. By the Associated Press UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-The Western bloc yesterday soundly beat down Russia's stubborn drive in the U.N. Political Committee for an immediateiKorean cease- fire, with negotiations to come later. The committee, virtually ex- hausted after more than a month's argument, then suspended all talk on Korea until it hears Commu- nist reaction to an Indian peace plan it approved Monday. WASHINGTON - Congressmen hunting a way to bring some or- der into the chaos of political campaign spending heard a sur- prise suggestion yesterday for a curb on the amount of editorial space a newspaper may use to back a candidate. That proposal, from Rep. Hoff- man (R-Mich), was in sharp con- trast to go-slow advice offered by Chairman Arthur E. Summerfield of the Republican National Com- mittee. NEW YORK-Joseph D. Nu- man, Jr., the nation's former chief tax collector, was indicted yesterday on charges of income tax dodging amounting to $91,. 086. SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - An Air Force transport with 13 men aboard is believed to have crashed yesterday in the forbid- ding San Bernardino Mountains. Snow and clouds hampered search for the craft. CARACAS, Venezuela - The three-man military junta, which has governed oil-rich Venezuela since its coup of 1948, resigned last night in the wake of a general election. Pollock To Appear Before Committee Prof. James K. Pollock, chair- man of the political science de- partment, is in Washington today to testify before the House of Rep- resentatives Sub-Committee on campaign expenditures, it was learned yesterday. Prof. Pollock, who has done re- search on the problem for 30 years, will present a general out- line of recommendations to the committee. But Haywood and his chief supporter, David J. McDonald, president of the big CIO steel- workers union, were still pledg- ing a finish fight that could spill over on the convention floor. Selection of officers is due tomorrow. The Haywood group was con- sidering forcing a test on a pro- posal to change the CIO Consti- tution so as to require the CIO presidency to be a full time job. Approval of such a plan would mean Reuther couldn't fill the job as long as he retained the presi- dency of the auto workers. But it Vas not expected any such plan would get the con- vention's approval since Reu- ther appeared to have a clear voting majority on his side. CIO officers sent a message yesterday congratulating Martin P. Durkin, president of the AFL Plumbers Union, upon his selection by President-elect Eisenhower to be secretary of labor. The CIO was obviously pleased that a man from labor's ranks had been se- lected, even though he came from the rival AFL. String Quartet Will Present Final Concert The Stanley String Quartet will be heard in its second and final program of the semester at 8:30 p.m. today in the Rackham Lec- ture Hall. The program for the concert will include the Quartet in G ma- jor, Op. 77, No. 1 by Haydn; Quar- tet in F major, Op. 135 by Bee- thoven; and Quartet No. 1, Op. 7 by Bela Bartok. In January, the quartet has been engaged to play in the cele- brated chamber music series in the Library of Congress under the auspices of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation. On this oc- casion they will give the first Washington performance of the String Quartet No. 6 by Ross Lee Finney, composer in residence at the University. The Quartet. which honors the name of Albert A. Stanley, for- merly of the music school faculty, consists of four faculty members; Gilbert Ross, violin, Emil Raab, violin, Robert Courte, viola, and Oliver Edel, cello. SAC Grants Second YP Tentative OK Settlement Seen Speaker Issue By CRAWFORD YOUNG Daily Managing Editor The Young Progressives again won tentative clearance from the Student Affairs Committee yeste- day on the question of the group's "responsibility." However,da sub-committee was set up to draw up a list of re- quirements for tightening of in- ternal YP procedure. These will be considered at next Tuesday's SAC meeting. MEANWHILE, the issue of the 'two pending YP speakers peti- tions appeared on the road to set- tlement. Requests for author Howard Fast and Rabbi Abraham Cronbach of Cincinnati are cur- rently on the Lecture Committee docket. However, no meeting could be arranged before Saturday by Prof. James K. Pollock, Lecture Committee chairman. Rabbi Cronbach had been scheduled to speak tomorrow, with the Fast appearance tentative- ly slated for Saturday. A way out of the dilemma was suggested by the Lecture Com- mittee delineation of "public" and "private" meetings Monday. Marge Buckley, '53, YP chairman, indi- cated that tomorrow's meeting will be made "private," i.e., lim- ited solely to membership, in order that Rabbi Craonbach could ap- pear without Lecture Committee sanction. As for the Fast address on "The Historical Novel" planned for Saturday, Miss Buckley said that it would probably be post- poned indefinitely. The speech had originally been planned for March or April, and had been moved up when it was discovered that Fast already had planned a Detroit appearance this weekend. IT WAS reported that the Lec- ture Committee will discuss on Saturday the Student Legislature recommendation for investing the sponsoring student organization with the responsibility for seeing that the Regents By-Law on cam- pus speeches was obeyed. The SAC deliberations on the YP question centered around the issue of whether the committee should attempt to evaluate moti- vation, or should continue to base Let It Snow Michigan skidded out of its first general snowfall Tuesday, and according to the weather bureau, can expect more snow tonight. Michigan's slippery roads have already caused one death -the driver of a light pickup truck which skidded and struck an oil truck. The slippery coat- ing on streets and roads has put the brakes on travel and resulted in a rash of motor vehicle accidents everywhere. Many airline flights from New York City were canceled. A colder than normal De- cember is in sight for most of the country, according to the weather bureau. Government Red Probe Increased By the Associated Press The government moved on sev- eral fronts Tuesday against sus- pected Communists or persons who have been accused of Red sym- pathies. In New York,. a federal grand jury warned the American people that "an overwhelmingly large group of disloyal United States citizens" has seeped into the Unit- ed Nations. The jurors urged that when their term of service ends another grand jury be impaneled to carry on their investigation of alleged subversion and espionage. * * * AT ANOTHER session of the Senate's internal security subcom- mittee in New York, Irving P. Schiller, archivist of the U. N.'s European headquarters in Geneva, refused to state whether he had ever been a member of the Com- munist party. Atty. Gen. MGranery an- nounced in Washington there would be a grand jury investiga- tion of Owen Lattimore, the Johns Hopkins University pro- fessor who was a central figure in the internal security commit- tt's probe of Far Eastern policy last spring. The Army lodged formal charges Tuesday against Lt. Sheppard Carl Thierman, a 30-year-old medical officer who refused to tell the in- ternal security committee whether he was a Communist. Reds Assault ROK Troops SEOUL - to) - Chinese Reds clambered across the snow-cov- ered slopes of Snipers Ridgeto- day and battled hand to hand with South Korean defenders in near-zero weather. ronthreports said the Chinese made their strongest thrust in three weeks during the predawn darkness but were forced to with- draw after 90 minutes of close- quarter fighting. Just before the assault, Chinese guns raked the crest of Pinpoint Hill, highest peak on Sniper. Allied guns aided in chopping up the assault. Trigon Sponsors Korea Discussion Charles Remsburg, former stu- dent at the University, will speak on "Army Intelligence-Korea" at 7:15 p.m. today at the Trigon fra- ternity house, 1617 Washtenaw. This will be the first in a series of talks on occupations by guest speakers arranged for by Trigon. All interested men on campus are invited to attend. -Daily-Malcolm Shatz SIGNS OF THE SEASON-Manning a Salvation Army kettle, the proceeds slated to buy toys, food and clothing for needy Ann Arbor families during Christmas, are (left to right) Sue Ral- ston '53 and Karin Fagerburg '54 of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

W l lens Appears Certain Of Re-election to Post GOP Fight Seen as Taft Hits Labor Post Choice its decisions on a sheerly istic standard. legal- Speech Department Bill Police Warn Fraternities Of New Thefts A warning to fraternity men to keep their billfolds locked up or hidden during the evening was is- sued by the Detective Bureau of the Police Department yesterday following the robbery of Phi Kap- pa Tau fraternity early Monday morning. Approximately $180 was taken from the fraternity by the thief who apparently entered through a window. Drawers and trouser pockets were gone through for money by the thief who took only bills and left loose change. THE LATEST robbery brings the total of money stolen from campus housing units this semes- ter to $573. On Saturday morning Sept. 27 $338 was stolen from Phi Gamma Delta, Chi Phi and The- ta Chi fraternities. On Homecoming weekend Martha Cook and Phi Tau were robbed of $70 and $85 respec- tively. The Martha Cook theft took place on Saturday after- noon Oct. 25, while dinner was being served. Two men were reported seen by residents of the dormitory in a room and on a stairway but both fled. During the robbery of the The- ta Chi house a stranger was seen by a fraternity member in the house but identification of the man could not be made. SD A Plan Cloture Student Legislature president Howard Willens, '53, seemed vir- tually assured of another term of office as legislators prepared to se- lect a new slate of officers in the semi-annual Cabinet elections to- night. WEQN Show Draws Fire A move to limit the broadcast- ing activities of Bob Perry, '53E, over the campus broadcasting system fell through last night. Initiatedby Stan Levy, '55, sta- tion manager of WEQN, from which Perry's program originates, the action was considered after a number of quad complaints over the accuracy of Perry's statements in recent broadcasts. The move would have limited the broadcaster to a 15-minute discus- sion of Student Legislature acti- vities rather than the half-hour commentary on all campus events which he features now. Levy said last night that he had asked Perry to be prepared to back up his assertions with concrete evidence in the future. The sta- tion manager' withdrew his earlier, more drastic request after talking with Perry, who would not accept the first proposal. Perry will broadcast his regular show at 7 p.m. today and will con- centrate mostly on what he terms an "expose" of quad government. Presumably the show will be car- ried on all three quad stations, al- though the South and West Quads could cut off the broadcast if they. preferred to run other material. Willens has no known opposi- tion and it appears unlikely that any will turn up before the elec- tions get under way at 7:30 p.m. in the Strauss dining room of East Quadrangle. THE vice-presidential race will probably result in a victory for present SL treasurer Bob Neary, '54. Neary appears to have a clear field as no other candidates have announced themselves thus far. However, the treasurer's post which Neary vacates may be contested by three candidates. Definitely seekingthe position are Bob Ely, '54E, presently chairman of the Campus Action Committee, and Fred Hicks, '54. In the dark horse class is NSA coordinator John Baity, '55, who may try either for the treasurer's slot or a position as a" member- at-large. At the moment two candidates are definitely trying for the two member-at-large posts, but can- didates who lose out in the treas- urer's race could be expected to enter at the last minute. Floor nominations for any of these posts1 are always a probability. The two certain candidates areSue Popkin, '54, who now is recording secretary, and Lee' Fiber, '54, who currently serves as Public Relations Committee head. A corresponding secretary and recording secretary will also be chosen by SL members. Shirley Cox, '54, and Jean Jones, '53, chairman of the Culture and Edu- cation Committee, are listed as contenders for the corresponding secretary's job, while Janet Net- zer, '54, is a possible candidate for recording secretary. Appointment of Durkin Starts Furor Rival Republican Wings Could Split WASHINGTON - P) - Sen. Robert A. Taft, in an explosive protest which could foreshadow a great legislative struggle be- tween two wings of the GOP, yes- terday labelled President-elect Ei- senhower's choice of a Secretary of Labor as "incredible." The Ohio senator's blast over the selection of Martin P. Durkin shattered the outward show of harmony which prevailed during the election campaign between Ei- senhower and the man he beat out for the Republican nomination. * * * IN A STATEMENT from Cin- cinnati Taft described Durkin, 58- year-old head of the AFL plumb- ers' union, as a "partisan Truman Democrat." He said the selection was an "affront" to labor voters who backed the GOP ticket, and also to Democrats who jumped party lines. And he brought the matter down to more immediate politi- cal cases by asserting that Her- bert Brownell has been "the key man in Cabinet appointments. Brownell, picked by Eisenhower to be attorney general, has been closely associated with the Repub- lican group around Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and was Dewey's cam- paign manager in 1948 when the New Yorker defeated Taft for the nomination. Taft's implication was that the Dewey wing has taken over patronage and perhaps a commanding position on policy is- sues. Taft said "It was never sug- gested that a man would be ap- pointed who has always been a partisan Truman Democrat, who fought Gen. Eisenhower's election, and advocated the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Law." He disclaimed any reflection on the "character or ability" of Durkin himself. Durkin makes no bones about wanting more revision of the T-H law than Taft is likely tohaccept willingly, and he already has sug- gested new powers for the Labor Department that Taft may not want in the hands of a man whose selection he has criticized so roundly. CLC To Plan Debate Series With Faculty The Civil Liberties Committee last night started plans for a stu- dent-faculty discussion series on local civil liberties issues. Stressing the campus aspect of the proposed discussions, CLC members hoped to pattern the series along lines of the Literary College Steering Committee which invites faculty members and in- terested students to their meet- ings to lecture and lead discus- sions. The project will be a long range affair, extending into next semester. Discussions planned by the group will be publicized in advance. National director of the Amer- ican Civil Liberties Union Patrick Malin, suggested such an educa- tional program during his recent visit to campus. Club members felt the plan would help eliminate much of the apathy on campus to civil liberties. The scheduled election of a new member-at-large to replace Alice Bogdonoff, '54, was postponed till the general elections at its next meeting.
