LXIII, No. 77 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1953 FOUR PAGES I Two Clubs Face Control by L YL Red Front Seeks To Reclaim CLC; May Gain Leadership of UNESCO (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth in a series of interpretive articles dealing with the Communist Party and Communist front organizations in Ann Arbor and at the University. The series will continue Tuesday.) By ZANDER HOLLANDER Daily Feature Editor Domination by the Labor Youth League faces two prominent University student groups today. Both the Civil Liberties Committee ands the campus UNESCO Council may beicontrolled by Ann Arbor's leading Communist front organization if officer elections :pet month come off as expected. EVIDENCE CONTAINED in the League's secret report, part of which The Daily released yesterday, proves the LYL and its Naefus Club leaders regarded the establishment of the CLC and the Society of Peaceful Alternatives, another University-recognized group, as a "positive result of our work." The confidential document also indicates the Karl Marx So- ciety, now being organized on campus, is a League ispired or- ganization. But establishment of the CLC backfired last spring when the group's faculty adviser warned he would resign unless an amendment was passed barring supporters of totalitarian organizations. Result: close to 100 interested students jammed the March '9 meeting, dozens paying membership dues and passing the amendment by a slim margin. Although since then the club has taken a liberal course, its active membership has dwindled and it is widely feared that LYL and its sympathizers will seize control next month. THE LEAGUE'S second "outstanding accomplishment," the So- ciety for Peaceful Alternatives, has not backfired. From SPA's inception League "cadres" and their supporters have formed a sizeable bloc within the Society, exerting a dominant in- fluence through the regularity of their presence and the unity of their votes. As a matter of record, SPA's current membership list includes all four "public" League members, along with LYL "adviser" Ed Shaffer and half a dozen members of the League entourage. The threat to UNESCO looms in the person of Ethel Schectman, avowed LYL member, considered a shoo-in for the tottering group's presidency. According to several worried UNESCO partisans, "Ethel kept coming down with more and more of her friends and the other kids have stopped coming." Miss Schectman's "friends" are expected to put her in early next n THE YOUNG Progressives, warned last month by the Student Afairs Committee to cease repeated "rresponsibilities" has long been a favorite tool of LYL and is ridden with League members and fellow- travelers. Significantly, the four perennial "public" LYL members are YP's too, along with the ubiquitous Ed Shaffer and seven of the ever- circulating personnel from the Society for Peaceful Alternatives. Unlike most student groups the Young Progressives make use of non-student members, apparently to comply with the 30- member minimum required for SAC approval. The non-student proviso was originally inserted in the University regulations governing student organization membership to accommo- date the non-student wives of veteran students. Since the rule was not nade specific on this score, University officials feel that the YP has violated its spirit if not its letter. One such non-student member is Omar Kidwell, LYL organizer from Jackson. Kidwell's efforts to establish a League unit at Jackson Junior College fell through when government agents infiltrated the club from the outset. Hockey Wing Draws Ban For Season McKennell Out For Altercation By ED WHIPPLE Daily Sports Editor John McKennell has played his last hockey game for Michigan. The flashy left winger a 22- year-old senior from Toronto, was suspended for the rest of the sea- son yesterday by Michigan's Ath- letic Director H. . (Fritz) Criser as the result of an altercation with a referee December 23 in Denver CRISLER ordered McKennell's permanent suspension from Washington, where Crisler is at- tending the NCAA meetings. The player had been "temporarily sus- pended" immediately after the in- cident upon the receipt of wired protests from the Rocky Moun- tain Hockey Officials Association and the Board of Governors of the American College Hockey Coaches Association. The Michigan Athletic Direc- tor based his final decision on statements he received yester- day from Frank Devitt, head of the Rocky Mountain Hockey Of- cials Association, and Mike Yal- ich, the referee. Devitt's notarized statement de- clared McKennell hit Yalich aft- er the referee allowed a disputed overtime goal to give Denver a 5-4 victory. Yalich made a sworn statement hto support Devitt's charges. Earlier Yalich had de- clared he did not desire to press charges against McKennell. In his statement Criser assert- ed, "After a review of the facts concerning the incident that hap- pened in the hockey game at Den- ver, it is evident that John Mc- Kennell's conduct was not in the best interests of college hockey; therefore, he is being suspended for the remainder of the season." MeKENNELL took the news of his banishment without bitter- ness, although he reiterated his earler comments on the "undem- ocr tic" way the whole thing was handled. He said the incident was di- rectly the result of poor officiat- ing that i' prevalent in Colorado hockey, and unfair treatment by Colorado newspapers. Crisler had also blasted treatment of the affair by all concerned. Michigan's Athletic Director said he was "unable to recall an incident in college athletics as badly handled." McKennell said further he felt has was the victim of a plot by Cheddy Thompson, Colorado Col- lege coach, to "get even" with Heyliger. Thompson is President of the American College Hockey Coaches Association, the organi- zation that made original protest to Crisler. Neither the Midwest League nor the NCAA rules make any provi- sion for penalties for striking of- ficials. The coaches took action under a sction of their code of ethics which rcommends suspen- sion for players who hit referees. Vic Heyliger, Michigan coach, said he thought the penalty "too stiff," in view of the fact the inci- dent was McKennell's first diffi- culty of any sort in three seasons, and also considering the conflict- ing evidence left much doubt whether McKennell actually 'hit Yalich. "This has ruined John's whole college career," the Michigan men- tor declared, adding it would have been enough punishment for his player to have missed five or six games. Truman Presents Of Over 78,500,000,000 Rebels The West Quad had a new house for a few hours yester- djay. A notice on the Michigan House bulletin board anounced that six of the 11 court floor in habitants were seceding to form their own "Court House." However, the disappearance of the statement last night in- dicated the enthusiasm to imi- tate Michigan House's Wednes- day secession move had been S~-:z : ::<;s: :;"., "k I U'J Pledges Cooperation . A FullUniestycopeaiwa Full University cooperation was promised to the House Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee in its forthcoming probe of alleged Communist activity here in a tele- gram President Harlan H. Hatcher sent to the group yesterday. Administration officials had previously stated they would have no comment on the reported probe until President Hatcher's office re- ceived formal notification from the Committee. * * * ALTHOUGH President Hatcher stated in his telegram to the group that "we have not received notice of your plans," a University spokesman said that pressure from several Regents and state news- papers had called forth official comment. Clarence H .Hillberry, acting president of Wayne University which is reportedly on the Com- mittee's itinerary, also pledged cooperation with the House group in a statement Wednes- day. President Hatcher's telegram said: "We read in the papers that the University of Michigan is named as one of the schools on your list for investigation. Al- though we have not received no- tice of your plans, we wish to as- sure you of our willingness to co- operate with you to the fullest ex- tent... "The University is dedicated to sound education and to the safety and progress of the na- tion. It has long been among the leading institutions in its co- operation with the Armed Forces in the field of research and oth- er services considered vital to our national strength... "These considerations have led us to exercise all vigilance con- sistent with American practice against the possibility of subver- sive activities, while preserving the traditional freedom of scholarly investigation upon which our na- tional progress is based." President Hatcher said yester- day that it has not yet been de- cided what the promised coopera- tion with the Committee will spe- cifically include.

Carabins at the Coliseum last night. * * * DOUG MULLEN and George Chin each scored hat-tricks in the high-scoring game which was blasted wide open by the rampag- ing Wolverines in the latter half of the first period. In addition to their three goals apiece, Chin picked up two additional points and Mullen one on assists. Even with five points to his credit, Chin was runner-up in the scoring column to teammate Pat Cooney, who bagged six markers on two goals and four assists. Jim Haas, converted de- fenseman now playing on the second line with Cooney and Chin, also bagged five points on a goal and four assists. Chin started the scoring pa- rade early in the first period when he converted a pass-out from The second Maize and Blue tal- ly was a strange one in that it was scored directly from a face- off. Mullen shot the puck like a bolt of lightning past stunned Montreal goalie Cyrille Guevre- mont in one sweep as the referee dropped the puck to the ice. * * * AT APPROXIMATELY .the fif- teen minute mark of the period the goal crazy Wolverines netted two quick ones within a space of 10 seconds. Just after Mullen bagged his second of the evening, Captain Johnny Matchefts took the center face-off, skated right around the Montreal defense and deposited the puck behind the amazed goal-keeper. Earl Keyes, Cooney, and Bert Dunn clicked -for additional goals in the dying minutes of the per- iod to make the score at the end of the initial stanza, 8-0. of left-winger Maurice Lamour- eax. The Wolverines came to life again and matched the Montreal marker with Mullen's third goal of the night, which was quickly followed by goals by Keyes and Chin. Chin added his third and Haas his first of the night in the final stanza. Bouleau notched the second Montreal goal in the final period by netting the puck behind See PUCK SQUAD, Page 3 Hatcher Plans Annual Speech To 'U'_Faculty Continuing a precedent set last year, President Harlan H. Hatcher will address a general faculty meeting on the state of the Uni- versity at 4:15 p.m. Monday in Rackham Lecture Hall. The meeting is open to all members of the teaching staff, including teaching assistants and teaching fellows. It is ex- pected that President Hatcher will give a broad analysis of the present condition of the Univer- sity, covering both financial and academic aspects. The President inaugurated the procedure of holding yearly talks with the faculty in October, 1951. At this time he called for in- creased research and "teaching with courtesy and appreciation of the students." University Vice-Presidents Wil- bur K. Pierpont and Marvin L. Niehuss also took part in the dis- cussion. The three administration officials agreed that University policy for the next few years should be one of long-range plan- ning and evaluation. Republicans Vow To Cut $10 Billion Ike Reportedly AgainstDeficit President Truman bequeathed the Eisenhower administration yesterday what he called a tight federal budget proposing to spend $78,587,000,000 for "safety and well-being" at home and for com- batting the Communist scourge abroad, the Associated Press re- ported last night, Republicans in Congress cried "spendthrift" and vowed to slash the figure. Some mentioned a cut of at least 10 billion dollars. LOCAL COMMENT on the bud- get situation came from Prof. Richard Musgrave of the econom- ics department who said that "Truman's request is no larger than was expected and perhaps a little smaller." The University expert added that if Congress does cut 10 bil- lion dollars from the budget it wvill have to come from the na- tional security programs. He pointed out that if 10 billion were cut it would mean a "com- plete collapse of our strong for- eign policy and a drastic re- vamping of the whole arma- ment program." The vast spending proposal for the 1954 fiscal year starting July 1, 1953, contemplates a big boost in foreign aid and a record peace- time outlay to finance and equip America's growing military force. The President estimated it would spell a federal deficit of nearly 10 billion dollars, increasing the na- tional debt to a total of 274 bil- lion. THE NEW budget is about $6,- 800,000,000 less than the one Tru- man submitted a year ago. At that time he proposed spending about $85,400,000,000 in the cur- rent fiscal year. But Congress changed some of his plans, and others were altered by failure of the defense program to meet pro- duction schedules. So yesterday he estimated that spending for the present year would be about $74,- 600,000,000 instead of $85,400,000,- 000. The budget for next year as- sumes that present prosperity will hold at present levels, that some taxes now on the books will be allowed to die on sched- ule, and that the incoming ad- ministration will continue for- eign aid and military spending at a heavy rate. * ** IN NEW YORK President-elect Eisenhower reportedly renewed his opposition to deficit spending yes- terday at almost the same mom- ent that President Truman Vas submitting a deficit budget to Congress. Rep. Coudert, New York Re- publican, visited Eisenhower and 'told newsmen the Presi- dent-elect reaffirmed "he is very much in favor of balanced budgets and against deficit spending." Coudert said he was confident the Eisenhower administration would work with Republican Sen- ate and House majorities to wipe out waste and duplication and re- duce expenditures "to enable us to balance the budget with re- duced taxes."

Health Service To Give Free anti-flu Shots Free anti flu injections will be given to students who want them next week at Health Service, Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of Health Service announced yester- day. The shots will be given from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. beginning Tuesday and ending Saturday noon. Students who want the free shots should go in the north entrance of the building at these times, the doctor said. No appointment is necessary. Faculty members, University employes and student wives and busbands may receive shots at a fee of one dollar each. They should: enter at the south end of the Health Service building so that they may pay the fee at the cash- ier's office before receiving in- jections. DR. FORSYTHE.has urged stu- dents to get the free injections.. He noted that since any reaction to the shots would last less than a day, it would not interfere with studying for finals. He added, however, that those persons who are sensitized par- ticularly to eggs should not beI injected unless by the special attention of the allergist.
