LXIII, No. 66 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1952 SIX PAGE' Pact Nations Revise Atom Bomb Plans New Naval Set-up To Be Organized PARIS-()-The military lead- ers of the Atlantic Alliance said last night they had agreed upon the use of atomic weapons in a revised strategic plan for the de- fense of Europe. The plan also included: The possible use of West Ger- man and Yugoslav armed forces. A new Naval command in the Mediterranean. GEN. CHARLES Foulkes of Can- ada, chairman of the military committee of the 14-nation North 'Atlantic Treaty Organization, made these points at a news con- ference. He said the military chiefs al- so had agreed on the commander for the new Mediterranean set- up, after a two-year deadlock between Britain and the United States, but refused to give his name. Highly placed NATO sources said Adm. Lord Mountbatten, commander of Britain's Mediter- ranean Fleet, is slated for the job. In disclosing that atomic wea- pons now figure in the Allies' new strategichplans, Foulkes pointed out that the United States is required by law to with- hold from other nations its in- formation on atomic develop- ments. But this "does not interfere with * making military plans," he said. Consideration of the use of West German and Yugoslav armed forces apparently is in the same pattern. Yugoslavia has no formal alliance with the Western nations,' and West Germany's manpower has not yet been committed by ratification of the six-nation Eur- opean Army Pact. Security Plan For UN Cited As Inadequate' UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(P) -Sen. Alexander Wiley, (R-Wis.)1 charged last night that the sys- tem worked out by the State De- partment and the United Nations for running down subversives in the UN is "hopelessly inadequate." He said the next Congress will consider barring funds for the UN and its agencies unless ef- fective security is established quickly. Wiley issued a statement as a senator and not as a UN dele- gate. At the same time the UN disclosed Secretary General Try-r gve Lie has fired Irving Schil- ler, an American archivist em- ployed at the UN office in Ge-t neva.P State Department officials Wed-( nesday told the McCarran sub-v committee investigating subver- sives in the UN, that 12 out ofc 40 Americans judged to be badc security risks by the departmentt were still in the UN payroll. t They also told of a confidentialt arrangement worked out by the c department and Lie in 1949 fort the ouster of American Commun-c ists or potential Communists from the UN. Unheralded Vigil NEWS DISPATCHES from the relatively quiet Korean war, represented by this lone soldier standing guard at an airstrip near Seoul, appear to arouse little in- test in The Daily's 14,000 readers. In an attempt to find out if anyone reads stories on the war, The Daily ran the same Korean dispatches on the front page two days in a row - three different times-Dec. 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 9 and 10. The total response to the "mistake": one letter to the edi- tor, and a complaint from a Daily photographer who wasn't aware of the experiment. A similar test, conducted last month by the Vancouver, B.C. Sun, produced nearly the same re- sults. After running the same ar- ticle three days in a row, the Sun reported that not one of its 500,- 000 readers had phoned to check the error. Dulles Says U.S. Needs New Faith in Freedom' v DENVER - (/P) - John Foster Dulles said last night that some- thing has "gone wrong" with American environment, and he urged a rekindled "faith in free-. dom" to shatter "the hypnotic spell of tyranny around the world." - The incoming secretary of state said that "our people are not im- bued with the righteous and dy- namic .faith which gives them a sense of mission and purpose," and he said "the essential need is to recreate that." * * *. WHEN IT IS done, he added, "the edifice of despotism will sur- ely crumble, because free men will have broken the hypnotic spell by which the despots hold their masses." Legal Tangle Arises over 500 Ballots Counity Dispute Favorsi Alger By ERIC VETTER A legal tangle over the validity of between four and five hundred ballots gives Fred M. Alger a chance to gain about 150 votes on Gov. Williams in Washtenaw County. The situation arose when 'im- proper initialing and wrapping of ballots by inspectors in Ypsilanti Township precincts three and five was discovered during the recount going on in the County Court- house. COUNTY CANVASSER Board Chairman Hugh E. Wilson said his five man group would attempt to make a ruling on the problem today. Fdur inspectors and County Clerk Luella M. Smith will be call- ed in by the board this morning to try and clear up the matter. A wire from D. Hale Brake of the State Board of Canvassers in Lansiug yesterday instructed the board to validate the ballots if it can be shown the inspectors had taken the official oath of office. Mrs. Smith said apparently the inspectors were sworn in but had not signed the poll book. Wilson stated that his board "will prob- ably be forced to make a ruling if the case shows the inspectors were not legally registered because Lan- sing has said nothing on the mat- * REPUBLICAN County Chairman George Weins, estimated that Wil- liams faces a loss of over 200 votes in Ypsilanti precinct five and Al- ger nearly 70 in precinct three. While this controversy went on, the regular recount continued in the Board of Supervisors room in the Courthouse. Williams added 13 votes to his county total by val- idation of ballots in stronger Alger precincts. " s Recount Will 'Positively' Go O'n, Alger Says By the Associated Press Resisting growing pressure from the ranks of his own Republican party to admit defeat, Fred M. Alger, Jr., said yesterday that the governorship recount would "pos- itively and absolutely" continue into next week. The tally in 684 precincts from 47 counties gave Democratic Gov. Williams a net gain of 547 votes. The recounting had been complet- ed by 12 of the smaller counties. WILLIAMS started out with a1 lead of 8,618 votes out of the more than 2,800,000 cast. At this point in the Alger-instigated recount, Williams' lead had grown to 9,165 and was .steadily climbing. Williams gained a total of 681 vites in 569 precincts. Alger gained 134 votes in 115 Wayne county precincts. Alger said that reports are "spreading all over the state that1 the recount is aboutto be dropped, and our challengers, in some cases, are adopting a 'what's-the-use' attitude." "I want to say just as definitely as I can that it is not true. We will proceed at least until there has been a recount in half of the precincts we listed in our recount application." Dulles, in a tape-recorded ad- dress, his first major speech since he was named secretary of state, told the General Assembly of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA: Reply LONDON-(P)-"Wrong ad- dress" is Russia's answer to the American note to Moscow demanding return of the car- go plane forced down in Hun- gary 13 months ago. The Moscow radio last night said Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob A. Malik re- ceived the note Wednesday from United States Charge d'Affaires Elim O'Shaughnessy and returned it to the American diplomat with a memo saying it was "wrongly addressed since it deals with an American C47 transport aircraft which in No- vember, 1951 violated the fron- tiers of the Hungarian Peoples' Republic." Ike To End Policy Talks In Hawaii HONOLULU -(j)-- President- elect Dwight D. Eisenhower came from the frozen desolation of the Korean War into the brilliant beauty of Hawaii yesterday where he will conclude top level policy talks before returning to New York Sunday. He stepped from the cruiser Helena at Pearl Harbor and with close advisers rode through Hono- lulu for an ovation from cheering crowds along the parade route es- timated by Naval authorities at 100,000. THE ARRIVAL ended nine fate- ful days in the making of future American history-three of them spent in studying the Korean sit- uation and the rest in conferences with future Cabinet members which fixed the broad outlines of: Far East policy for the new Re- publican administration. Eisenhower told Maj. Gen Roger Ramey, Air Force direc- tor of operations, that he want- ed to leave Hawaii at noon to- morrow. That would put him into New York about noon Sun- day. James C. Hagerty, Eisenhower's press secretary, said the President- elect would have nothing to say in reply to President Truman. Truman told a news conference yesterday Eisenhower's campaign promise to go to Korea was dema- goguery. Hagerty said Eisenhower, who is known to be pleased with the1 results of the tour, would make1 his first public statement on his Korean trip when he lands at Travis Field, Calif. * * * WHILE the President seemed to think little of' Eisenhower's trip, John Foster Dulles, the next sec- retary of state, has told reporters it was invaluable and that policy conferences aboard the Helena will pay dividends to the Ameri- can people for years to come. Eisenhower will continue talks here with Dulles, Douglas Mc- Kay, his secretary of the in- terior, and Adm. Arthur Rad- ford, commander of the Pacific Fleet. The remainder of the party left for the mainland later yesterday. In this group are Secretary ofi Defense-designate Charles E. Wil- son, Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chair-: man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff;, George M. Murphey, the next sec-i retary of the treasury; Herbert Brownell, the next attorney gen-j eral; Gen. Lucius Clay, a close1 adviser to Eisenhower; and Maj.I Gen. Wilton B. Persons, who willI be a White House assistant. The Helena slipped into Pearl Harbor in brilliant sunshine and eased to the dock yesterday morn- , ing. Eisenhower stood' on the deck waving to the crowds on the pier, who shouted greetings. - -Daily-Alan Reid SINGERS-Prof. Maynard Klein, conductor of the Arts Chorale, stands next to three soloists and the organist who performed in the combined Glee Club and Arts Chorale concert last night. USE 3,000 MEN: Chinese Reds Launch Korean Of MacArthur's Plan 'Will Prevent Meeting of Ike, General. President Says Confab Useless WASHINGTON - (P) - Presi- dent Truman yesterday denounced President-elect Dwight D. Eisen- hower's trip to Korea as a piece of demagoguery and said he doubts that Gen. Douglas MacArthur has any new solution to end the Kor- ean war. Virtually slamming the door on proposals for a White House meet- ing with Eisenhower and Mac- Arthur, the President told his news conference he believes such a con- ference would serve no useful purpose. * * * THE PROPOSALS had been made by members of Congress. Truman said that as a matter of courtesy he would be glad to see Eisenhower and MacArthur at any time if they have anything to discuss. But he made it clear the initiative would have to come from them. The President also made it plain that although he considers it MacArthur's duty as a soldier to come forward if he has any solution for the war-and to present' it through- military channels - Truman does not plan to force the general's hand. It is a little late for that now, the President . sid. Truman Blasts Ike's Trip; Doubtful Speakers Say Religion Weak On Campuses Campus religious leaders gener- ally disagreed with statements about the ineffectiveness of reli- gion on the campuses of the na- tion made by speakers before the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States this week. Expressing the opinions that the church is not as effective as it could be, these speakers cited to the Council the increase in ma- terialism and the general disin- terest in religion on university campuses. They feel that this is the period of greatest crisis and challenge to the church. REV. C. H. LOUCKS, pastor of the local First Baptist Church, said that for fifty years the church has been trying to reach thestu- dents and that through greater co-operation between the guilds, this is now being done more ef- fectively. The National Lutheran Coun- cil 'has supplemented the uni- versity curriculum throughout the country by offering students non-credit courses in Christian ethics and the New Testament, said Rev. Henry Yoder, Director of the University Lutheran Cen- ter. Rev. Dwight S. Large, pastor of the First Methodist Church, felt that since the war there has been atrue searching for religion, but that the institutional bodies may not be the most effective force in this quest. Rev. Large said that this is not the greatest period of trial for the church. He pointed out that the 1. That "Christian people have too long seemed half-hearted inI their determination to end un- Christian discrimination. 2. That Americans should "in- tensify their determination to per- fect" the United Nations, and not lose confidence in international organization for world order be- cause of disappointments or be- cause the "novelty has worn off." 3. That private individuals and groups should increase aid to peoples "materially less fortun- ate." * * * AT THE SAME meeting Amer- ica's most representative church party yesterday heard a first hand report of Christianity behind the Iron Curtain in Germany. It point- ed out the pervading atmosphe of arrests, restrictions and fear existing in the Russian sector of Germany. The report came from Bishop Otto Dibelius, the grey-haired, outspoken spiritual leader rof 40 million protestants, most of whoih1 live in Germany's Eastern zone.' Church officials of the Council said yesterday that Methodist Bishop William C. Martin of Dallas will be recommended by a nom- inating committee to become the next president of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA. Woman's Suicide Re ported by Police A 52-year-old Ann Arbor woman, Mrs. Grace Pertner, was reported dead upon arrival at St. Joseph Hospital yesterday, due to poison- ing.

CALLS STATE B0ARD 'OBSTRUCTIVE': Staebler TellsStory of Moody recount Request WSB Problem WASHINGTON - (A) - Presi- dent Truman and his economic stabilizer said yesterday they have licked the problem of getting busi- ness men back on the Wage Sta- bilization Board. Truman told a news conference he expected to have. the crippled board back on its feet before the end of this week, with a whole new panel of industry representa- tives. THE BOARD fell apart Satur- day when all seven of its industry members quit en masse with -a bitter blast at Truman's interven- tion in the soft coal miners' wage case. They said Truman's over-ruling of a board decision in the case made the controls pro- gram a "mockery." ' Pressure immediately began building up from business or- ganizations and at least one big labor organization-the CIO- for a junking of controls. By JON SOBELOFF Democratic State Chairman Neil Staebler last night shed some light on the question of whether a re- count request was or wasn't filed in behalf of United States Senatorial candidate Blair Moody.I Staebler told The Daily it wasn't.# the federal Constitution provides' that each house of Congress shall be the judge of the elections, re- turns and qualifications of its own members. STAEBLER also cited the Mc- Lod case, a 1942 Michigan Su- preme Court decision, which held that the sttate government had no reach him Sunday, before the1 48 hour recount-filing deadline," Staebler continued. He told me not to bother filing, because the State had no author- ity in the matter. But he agreed: to be at home Sunday. By then, I! saw the law was clear on the sub- ject. so I called and thanked him The State Democratic head said he has made up a list of 15 or 20 main types of irregularities he feels may have cost Moody votes. First, he charged many local election boards throughout the State are made up of Republi- cans only. State law requires as n-a.iv -iinl..nr..-nfnf- n o ticket and improperly explained how to count it, Staebler claimed. Many poll workers, following the instructions for awarding the pic- tured vote for Senator, unknow- ingly violated State election law, he charged. Ctnpl .rr-fo.. 4 t a nnytafa i I I
