LXIII, No. 64 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1952 FOURTEEN PAGED Nomm Arms Pact SA C Lists Four In German andades for Court Decision Hit by Adenauer By the Associated Press A constitutional crisis threaten- ed last night to wreck plans to bring West Germany into armed alliance with the West. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's government attacked a ruling by the full Federal Constitutional Court that its decision in a newly opened hearing on the legality of the West German Peace Contract and the six-nation European Army Treaty would be binding in test cases to come up later before the two 11-judge Senates or chambers of the court. THE BATTLE hinges on whether the Constitutional Court will rule that a two-thirds majority is necessary for parliamentary rati- fication of the treaties to end the Allied occupation and bring a half million German soldiers into the European army. Adenauer contends that only a simple majority is necessary. But his socialist opponents, foes of rearmament, declare the pacts require a change of the Consti- tution and thus need a two- thirds majority. The Adenauer government has no hope of get- ting this. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force yesterday finished moving all its jet fighter bases in Germany to positions west of the Rhine River. This completed a major step in the building of Europe's defenses against any threat of Soviet at- tack. 1U Mentor Disciplined BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - () - Disciplinary action similar to that given a University of Iowa basket- ball coach has been handed out to an assistant football coach at In- diana University for violating Western Conference recruiting principles. Paul J. Harrell, . U. athletic director, said yesterday the action was taken against William Bat- tles, an assistant to Bernie Crim- mins, the football coach. Harrell said Battles visited the home of a prospective football player and discussed his possible matriculation at I. U. with the student's parents. As in the case of Bucky O'Con- nor of Iowa, Battles will be re- quired to refrain from all contact with prospective students until July 1, 1953. Requirements Aimed at Internal Procedure of Young Progressives By CRAWFORD YOUNG Daily Managing Editor The Young Progressives were handed a list of four requirements tightening up their internal procedure by the Student Affairs for Committee yesterday. The SAC mandates grew out of a six-mo alleged "irresponsibilities" on the part of the3 * * * Onr.nhvdard-i nth controversy over group and continued YP operating habits. , , ,* 1YP Opposes, New SAC Regulations Campus Young Progressives voted unanimously last night to protest a Student Affairs Com- mittee requirement that the group turn over to the Office of Student Affairs minutes of future meetings and a list of members present at them. The SAC requirements will be in effect during a probationary period lasting until April 1. YOUNG Progressives objected to the new regulation on the grounds that it was "discriminatory against YP" since the same requirement was not made for other political clubs. Lines the YP protest would take were not defined. YP members also said they felt the criticisms of the inter- nal organization of the group listed in the SAC statement were true "on the whole." They in- dicated they would make the necessary corrections. Fulfilling a requirement that a full slate of officers be elected, Young Progressives as scheduled last night voted into office a group including: Marge Buckley, '53, re- elected as chairman; Esther Mark, '55, vice-chairman; Art Davidson, '55E, secretary-treasurer; and Dor- othy McKay, '53, educational and cultural director. All four were elected by acclamation. A slightly more than quorum attendance of 13 members was re- corded at last night's meeting. SQ Council Elects Three Officers Three new officers have been elected to the South Quad Coun- cil, it was announced yesterday. The new officers are Booth Tar- kington, '53E, president; Stan- ley Pasikov, '55, vice-president, and Dan Peterson, '56A, social chairman. Yua ua, t iu s THE FOUR specifications, which must be met by April 1,- 1953, follow: 1) Meetings shall be held regularly in accordance with the YP by-laws (which require meetings every other Tuesday.) 2) A full complement of officers shall be elected and these officers shall work together in the perform- ance of their constitutional func- tions. (Until last night, only three of the six specified officers had been elected.) y 3) Full and complete minutes, including the names of members attending and records of all mo- tions put to question, the vote, and their disposition, shall be deposited in the Office of Stu- dent Affairs within three days after each meeting. 4) Full and complete minutes of meetings of the Executive Com- mittee shall be kept in similar fashion. * * * YP, a chronic item on the SAC agenda, has a long record of con- troversy. In July, 1950, the organ- ization was suspended for a se- mester when it was discovered that the membership list had been grossly falsified. The train of events which cul- minated in yesterday's mandates began last April, when SAC made some protest over the Lecture Committee decision in refusing to consider the YP petition for form- er UAW leader William Hood be- cause of alleged YP "irresponsi- bility." Later In May, the Lecture Committee forwarded to the SAC via President Harlan H. Hatcher a request for an inves- tigation of Young Progressive responsibility. On June 5, SAC acquitted the group of the gen- eral charge, but drew up five suggestions for- improved inter- nal procedure. Two weeks ago, it was decided to review YP progress on the re- commendations. Last week, Marge Buckley, '53, chairman, testified at some length on the subject. On the basis of her testimony, it was decided to appoint a special sub- committee to draw up a list of requirements. A focal issue in the discussions was the September 30 YP 'meet- ing, at which novelist Howard Fast and Rabbi Abraham Cronbach were allegedly invited to speak. A statement read yesterday by a non-member who had attended the entire meeting directly con- tradicted Miss Buckley's testi- mony on three significant points. SAC concern over minute-tak- ing rose out of the fact that the only minutes available were in- complete, and had been written from memory by the chairman some time after the meetings. Minutes for the last four years were "misplaced" over the sum- mer, Alger's Vote Total Drops In Recount1 Officials To Sift Local Vote Today By the Associated Press Gov. Williams hung on to a 160 vote gain last night in the recount of gubernatorial votes on the basis of reports from 215 precincts in 22 of the 24 counties in which tallying is under way. This pushed his lead in the drawn out contest to 8,778 over Republican challenger Fred M. Al- ger Jr. The official canvass of the Nov. 4 vote gave Williams an edge of 8,618. THE RECOUNT of Washtenaw County votes will get under way at 9:30 a.n. today in the County Court House when about 50 work- ers will begin sifting votes from precinct two of Superior Township and three, four and five of Ypsi- lanti Township. Ann Arbor's returns will not be included in the check because only paper-balloting precincts are involved in the recount. Lu- ella M. Smith, county clerk, es- timates the job will take about three or four days to complete. Republican hopes of upsetting the apparent Williams victory were sinking lower as Alger failed to show the strength that had been anticipated in the earliest counts. In Lansing, meanwhile, the State Canvassers Board turned down without flatly saying "no" the of- fer of the U. S. Senate subcom- mittee on elections to pay $5 a precinct for a simultaneous re- check of the Potter-Moody sena- torial race. And in Washington, Tom Mech- ling, defeated Democratic candi- date for U. S. Senator from Ne- vada, asked the Senate elections committee to investigate "irregu- larities and errors" he contends marked the counting of votes for his victorious Republican oppon- ent, Sen. George W. Malone. Supply Linies Hit byAllies SEOUL, Korea - 0) - Allied warplanes smashed at Commun- ist supply roads and vehicles last night and early today in the heav- iest blow in two weeks against ar- teries to the Red front lines. The U. S. Fifth Air Force re- ported at least 155 trucks destroy- ed. Twin-engined B-25s pounded the roads leading south from Pyongyang, the Korean Red capi- tal, and Sandung and Yangdok, on the East Coast. Chinese patrols probed Sniper Ridge on the Central Front in to- day's predawn hours, but were turned back by a hail of steel from the frozen slopes. J-Hop Juniors who are planning to attend the '53 J-Hop may make reservations for tickets from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at the Ad- ministration Bldg. Juniors may also reserve tickets along with seniors and graduate students tomorrow, and freshmen and sophomores Friday. Technic Gas has been more than hold- ing its own with its great com- petitor the electric light. Or so Prof. Emeritus Alfred H. White, of the chemical en- gineering department, declared in an article on "Gas as an Il- luminating Agent" in the May, 1911 issue of the Michigan Technic. The 70th anniversary issue of the campus engineering magazine, containing a review of this and other highlights of the past 70 years of Technic goes on sale today. Bias Clause Poll Results Given to IFC By MIKE WOLFF The results of the Big Ten bias clause survey were released at the Interfraternity Council House President's Assembly last night. Conducted through the IFC- Panhel Counseling. Service, the study revealed that major clause removal agitation has only recent- ly occurred at four Big Ten schools including the University. * * * THE ONLY concrete action, however, has come from admin- istration, faculty and student pres- sure at the University of Wiscon- sin. This has resulted in a re- quirement by the faculty and the Board of Regents that fraternities and sororities remove their clauses by July 1, 1960. IFC Human Relations Com- mittee co-chairman Joan Pruitt, '53. revealed that as a result of the move four Wisconsin fra- ternities have asked the Coun- seling Service for help in re- moving their clauses. Miss Pruitt said she was not able to an- nounce the names of the frater- nities at this time, however. They are the first groups to seek aid since the local chapter of Acacia requested the service to make a study of the prevailing at- titudes among their other chap- ters for use at last summer's na- tional convention. Although pressure has been brought to bear on Greeks at Mich- igan State and Minnesota, little has been done except the passage of resolutions suggesting that houses attempt their own clause removal action. Student Legislature - Student Affairs Committee attempts at imposing a time limit on local fraternities and sororities were blocked in June 1950 by retired President Alexander G. Ruth- ven's veto and again last spring by President Harlan H. Hatcher. Committee co-chairman Dick Manchee, '54, said that early next semester he plans to ask each of the 14 local fraternities having bias clauses whether they desire help of the same nature afforded Aca- cia. National Roundup By the Associated Press SEATTLE-President-elect Eis- enhower told a national farm group yesterday he considers it "essential for government to help farmers achieve a stabilized pros- perity in ways that do not im- pinge upon the farmers' freedom of action and do not stifle initia- tive." WASHINGTON-Economic Sta- bilizer Roger L. Putnam said yes- terday he hopes to have a new Wage Stabilization Board ready for work by the end of the week, but the president of the U. S. Cham- ber of Commerce quickly urged business men not to serve on the board. WASHINGTON - Government officials said yesterday restrictions may be eased Jan. 1 on the use of steel for schools, public works, hospitals and recreational and amusement facilities.

Biller added, however, that the Judiciary would be happy to act as an impartial arbiter if both Braun and the West Quad Coun- cil agreed to submit to arbitration and would abide by their decision. Quad council officials were quot- ed as saying that they would be opposed to such arbitration. be confronted with questions from quad residents attempting to clar- ify the present situation in the residence hall dining rooms with a view toward improving it. A .stack of questions from men in the South Quad has already been submitted. .:' * * LATER at the meeting, the con- troversial Bert Braun, '54, present- ed his position regarding his oust- ing from the West Quad Council and the IHC. The IHC decided that if Mich- igan House so desired, Braun could be seated as an alternate representative from his house to the IHC. Also at the meeting, a letter from East Quad radio broadcast- er Bob Perry, '53E, was read to the group which invited three of the "most enlightened and capable spokesmen" to participate in a discussion of probleims of quad government over the quad radio station today. The three quad council presidents, Roger G. Kid- ston, '54, Charles E. Weber, '53, and Alfieri will discuss these problems with Perry. Later in the meeting Kidston presented a statement defending the IHC's position at their pre- vious meeting of voting down the SL proposal to extend the time for parties on late permission nights. Eisenhower Asks Peace Plan Talks Mac's Proposal Asked by General By the Associated Press An exchange of messages cleared the way yesterday for President-elect Eisenhower, aboard the USS Helena, to meet face to face with Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur and receive the former Far Eastern Commander's own plan for ending the Korean War. Shoving aside any past differ- ences with MacArthur, Eisenhow- er radioed a message to the gen- eral Sunday that "I am looking forward to informal meetings in which my associates and I may ob- tain full benefit of your thinking and experience" on Korea and the Far East. * * * MAC ARTHUR replied Monday: "I am grateful for your in- terest in my views." He added that a successful solution of the problem "might well become the key to peace in the world." The exchange of messages fo- lowed a MacArthur speech Friday in which he told the National As- sociation of Manufacturers in New York City that he had a peace plan for Korea and was willing to give it to Eisenhower if the President- elect asked for it. EISENHOWER messaged, "Nat- urally I and my asoiates in the new administration, particularly the secretaries of the state and de- fense, are vitally concerned about Korea and the Far East. "We are now in the process of outlining a future program to be based upon the best inter- ests of our country and the free world." In Washington, a high official in the Defense Department said that if MacArthur has such a plan it is his duty as a soldier to present it through Army channels "with- out further ado and without mak- ing a speech about it." The of- ficial declined the use of his name. Strife Grows In Morocco CASABLANCA, Morocco-(I)- Two more Moroccans were killed and five wounded in a new out- break of violence in this rebellious protectorate of France yesterday. Police fired at a crowd of 100 which tried to storm the prison at Bein Mellal, 150 miles southwest of Casablanca, where some Mor- occan leaders had been jailed. In Tunisia, France's other North IAfrican protectorate, terrorists ma- chinegunned the Tunis-Sousse ex- press, killing a railroad employe and wounding two passengers. Calm returned to. Casablanca proper yesterday after 72 hours of terror. But it was a quiet imposed on by the armored cars; steel hel- mets and truncheons of the French.

SCHOOL TEST CASE: Su reme Court Hears Segregation Arguments WASHINGTON - (P) - The Supreme Court heard clashing ar- guments yesterday on a major issue: Is it legal to have separate schools for Negroes and Whites? Negro lawyers pleaded with the tribunal to strike down such segregation as unconstitutional. Opposing attorneys contended that separation of the races is legal sot long as educational opportunities are equal. THE SUPREME Court, in effect, was being urged to meet the issue head-on; to uphold or throw out a doctrine it laid down in a de- cision in 1896. It held then that separate facilities for the races are constitutional if they are equal. Teeing off on arguments that w!-" -un on for three days, Rob- ert Carter of New York, a Ne- gro attorney, contended that "no state has any authority" to divide its citizens by race. But Paul E. Wilson, assistant at- torney general of Kansas, and Jus- tice Frankfurter from the bench, pointed out there is a long history of court decisions and legislative action built on the doctrine that separate facilities for the races are constitutional if they are equal. ANCIENT COMEDY REVIVED: Birds To Make Initial Flight Today - * * LITERARY COLLEGE MEET: Expansion of General Science Courses Seen By ELLIE ROSENTHAL More science courses designed to give the student a broad under- standing of a given field are constantly being added to the curriculum, according to Prof. David M. Dennison of the physics department. Speaking at last night's Literary College Conference, Prof. Den- nison made the distinction between general courses aimed at the non-concentrate and those which attempt to equip the student with techniques necessary for further study. THE GENERAL COURSES, he said, are intended to satisfy stu- dent complaints on the lack of - Written 2,500 years ago in an- cient Greece, Aristophanes' "The Birds" will be revived today by the speech department players at 8 p.m. in Lydia Mendelssohn The- atre.

Many students had raised this problem, complaining that the requirements of eight lab hours and four additional ones forced them to specialize unnecessarily,. and prevented them from getting a broad idea of scientific work. However, Prof. Kenneth L. Jones partment that a course similar to one now being taught in the his- tory of botany, be given on a gen- eral science level. Prof. Dennison stressed the fact that both the need for men who can teach such courses, and the expenses involved, are great. Most faculty members agreed that the aim of a science course A meretricious and a happy xff. I
