LXIII, No. 80 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1953 SIX PAGES I m SIX PAGES 'U' To Study New Cancer Treatment Project Financed By AEC Grant By JOYCE FICKIES Plans were revealed yesterday for a University project investigat- ing a possible new treatment for cancer, to be financed by a $104,- 000 grant from the Atomic Energy Commission. For the first year's work, the project will be directed by Prof. Fred. J. Hodges and Prof. Isadore q Lampe of the Medical School de- partment of roentgenology. The project is expected to last about five years. ESSENTIALLY, the project will deal with clinical treatment of cancer patients, comparing results of cobalt and X-ray treatment of cancer with treatment using ra- dioactive cesium, a rare earth ele- ment. A waste product of the atomic energy process, cesium is much more readily available than co- balt, which must be especially manufactured. The experiments will take place in a yet-to-be-built underground laboratory, which will be located somewhere behind the University Hospital SINCE THE AEC grant does not provide for housing facilities for the project, housing will be fi- nanced by a $150,000 sum given jointly by the Phoenix Project, the Medical School, the University Hospital and the University. The bulk of the joint grant is a $75,000 sum, given by the Alice Crocker Lloyd Memorial Fund, a part of Phoenix Pro- ject commemorating the Uni- versity's former dean of women. The other three donating agen- cies will give $25,000 each. * * * THE LABORATORY will be built somewhere in the space im- mediately behind the side wings of the University Hospital. Offi- cials indicated that plans for the building are as yet "very indefi- nite." Construction is expected to begin about April 1. The one story lab will occupy 6,000 square feet and will be built from 30 to 36 inches under the surface of the ground. Rea- sons for putting it underground are to protect against radiation and to provide a support for the tremendous weight of the equip.- ment. The two main pieces of equip- ment will be seven to eight ton "applicators" - X-ray like ma- chines which will hold the cobalt and cesium. Under terms of its grant the AEC will supply the two applica- tors plus a fully equipped physics laboratory for the building. Phoenix Project assistant direc- tor Prof. Henry J. Gomberg said that the laboratory will .be the "only one known" doing exactly this kind of work. Preliminary work has been done at the govern- ment's Oak Ridge plant. SChanges in Quad Policy Considered Possible future changes in resi- dence hall policy on mid-year room contract terminations were discussed yesterday by Dean of Men Walter B. Rea, Assistant to the Dean of Students Bill Zer- man, the Residence Halls Confer- ence Committee and Interfrater- nity Council president Pete Thorpe, '53. Although nothing definite was decided, it was learned that var- ious proposals for revising the present rules were presented. Book of the Dead -Daily-Larry Wik JUDGMENT DAY, 1500 B.C.?--Ancient papyrus from the Book of the Dead shows Egyptian gods and goddesses deciding whether to admit a dead man to the next world. The man's heart is being weighed against a statue of the goddess of truth. Hlystic Egyptian Papyrus To.Be Shown Locally $ $ GRQ fd1 By DOROTHY MYERS 4 --- The Book of the Dead will soon be displayed in Ann Arbor. Placed in a tomb thousands of years ago, the 30-foot-long manu- script supposedly enabled an un- known Egyptian to journey to the next world. The journey was made safe by a series of magical spells, Duplicate ID's To Be Issued To. Students Students who have lost their identification cards ."must secure new ones before registering for the spring semester, the Office of Stu- dent Affairs announced yesterday. The plasticized ID cards will be required for presentation during registration in order for students to gain admittance into Water- man Gym. Duplicate cards will be made by the Photographic Service for a fee of $1.25 which must be paid at the Cashier's office. The Photographic Service will take identification pictures from 1 to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow as well as Jan. 21 and 22 at the same time. After the student has paid his fee, he should report to the Office of Student Affairs before proceed- ing to the :hotographic Service. Although it may delay registra- tion, identification pictures will be taken in the Rifle Range during the week of registration beginning at 12:30 p.m. Feb. 2. For the re- mainder of the week pictures will be taken from 7:45 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.- with the exception of Saturday when they will be taken from 7:45 to 10:15 a.m. Extend Petitioning Petitioning to fill four vacancies on the Engineering Honor Coun- cil has been extended until 5 p.m. tomorrow it was announced yes- terday. Petitions should be turned in at the West Engineering Annex or filed with a member of the council. which also secured food and drink for the life after death. IN ADDITION to these spells, the roll of papyrus contains a group of hymns to the Egyptian sun god Re, and to Osiris, the god of resurrection. Egyptians called the book "The Spells for Coming Forth by Day," and customarily put a copy of the manuscript in tombs with the dead. Each individual" chose from a wide variety of spells those which he thought would be most likely to secure his 'place in the next world. Enoch E. Peterson, Director of the Museum of Archaeology, said that although it is impossible to ascertain the exact date of this particular Book of the Dead, it may have been written as early as 1500 B.C. The papyrus is illustrated with scenes which portray the life of the deceased after he reached the world of the dead. Loaned to the museum by O. O. Fisher of Detroit, this Book of the Dead has never before been exhibited to the public. One end of the roll of papyrus has been broken off, and archaeologists can- not determine the manuscript's original length. The book will be put on dis- play from Jan. 27 through Feb. 28 in the Museum of Archeology. SAC Extends Hken's Houses' Closing Hours Men's residences holding ap- proved parties may remain open till 1 p.m. on 1:30 permission nights, it was decided yesterday by the Student Affairs Committee. Previously, parties had to end at midnight, leaving couples an hour and a half to fritter away with little in the way of University- approved entertainment available. The move for overhauling the rule originated with the Student Legislature, and the Inter-Fra- ternity Council, Women's Judi- ciary and League Board of Representatives approved the change. Dean of Women Deborah Bacon expressed concern over the burden on the staff of the women's resi- dences which will be imposed by a string of six consecutive weekends early in the new semester with late permission nights. Dean Bacon suggested that, within the framework of the re- vised code, an arrangement might be worked out whereby the lounges of women's residences would be closed to men at 12:30 alternate weeks during this period, with the men's housing units remaining open to women till 1:25. Countv Takes Bid Pucksters Play MSC Here Today Wolverines Now In Second Place By DAVE BAAD Michigan's second place hockey team returns to Midwest Hockey League competition at 8 p.m. to- day, taking on the Michigan State Spartans in a Coliseum engage- ment. The Wolverines, still in good shape after the rugged weekend series with Montreal, will take the ice intent on cutting down the three point lead presently held by North Dakota's first place Sioux. SINCE THE game tonight is a one point affair, a victory would give Vic Heyliger's crew eight points for the season and move them into sole possession of sec- ond place ahead of Denver, with whom they are presently tied. Although Michigan State oc- cupies the cellar position in the Midwest standings and hasn't as yet won a league game, they have proved extremely danger- ous on occasion. Twice the Spartans have ex- tended opponents into overtime sessions, and three other times they have been nipped by two goals or less in regulation time. The overtime games came against Colorado College and Denver, both tough clubs in the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League. LAST WEEK, however, State, apparently not at top form, play- ed a sluggish game and were easy victims of the Wolverines in an encounter on the MSC home ice. Michigan, playing the first time with its revamped lineup, caused by McKennell's suspension, coast- ed to an easy victory, 6-0. To add to the woes of defeat, Dick Lord, Spartan co-captain and center on the second line, was injured in a collision with Michigan defenseman Louis Pao- lotto and for a while it was feared he would be lost for an indefinite time. However, despite the fact he missed last weekend's series with Minnesota, the colorful forward is expected to be back in action tonight. * * * JOHN MAYES, 21 - year - old sophomore center, was the Spar- tans leading scorer last year and has been the offensive spark so far this season. Against North Dakota he scored all four goals while MSC was dropping a 5-4 decision. Mayes is flanked on the first line by Jim Ward and George Bolton. Vic Heyliger's Wolverines need this victory tonight as they set out in pursuit of North Dakota's surprising league-leading outfit. The Sioux were considered dan- gerous contenders when the sea- son started, but last weekend's sweep from Denver has definitely established them as the team to beat. See 'M', Page 3 Wolverine Club Elections Held Bob Golten, '54, was elected Wolverine Club president for the forthcoming year at a meeting' of the group last night. . Other officers elected were Bud Charlip, vice-president; Joel Cap- lin, '55, treasurer; Barbara Stauf- fer, '55, corresponding secretary; and Pat Pierson, '54Ed, recording secretary. Funds Asked The state-supported colleges and universities need $42,000,- 000 now to meet classroom re- quirements and will need an ad- ditional $43,000,000 in the next seven years, according to State Superintendent of Pub- lic Instruction, Lee M. Thurs- ton. Thurston issued this predic- tion yesterday and warned that more than half a billion dol- lars must be spent in Michigan before 1960 for school and col- lege classroom space. Sen. Morse Forced Of f Two Groups WASHINGTON - P) - Sen. Wayne Morse, Oregon independ- ent, was bumped off two major committees yesterday as the Sen- ate completed its regular commit- tee assignments for the new ses- sion. Morse fought to retain his seat on the powerful armed forces com- mittee, but in an unprecedented written ballot the Senate uphelis the ouster engineered by the GOP Policy Committee. The vote was 81-7.' * * * STANDING grim-faced before his colleagues, Morse then an- nounced he would not press a twin appeal for his seat on another key committee, labor. "It would be a waste of the Senate's time," he said. "The vote would be identical." The vote capped two hours of lively debate in which the Oregon senator, who quit the Republican party to support Adlai Stevenson last fall, fought to hold onto his old committee.assignments against the opposition of the Senate GOP conference. * * * MEANWHILE, the quickening pace of Congress was marked in the House by lively debate on Presi- dent Truman's request for an ov- erhaul of the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act, which only went into effect Dec. 24. Chairman Taber (R-N.Y.) of the House Appropriations Com- mittee also raised the signals for a fight on the foreign aid issue by stating that Congress should refuse to provide any new funds for the aid program.' Truman asked for $7,600,000000 in his budget message last week for foreign economic and military aid. Taber said the program has carryover funds of more than 10 billion, "which is more than enough.' The immigration debate be- gan when Truman submitted the report of a presidential commis- sion calling for revision of the law from stem to stern, with abolishment of the quota system of immigration and admission of 100,000 additional aliens each year. Rep. Walter (D-Pa.), co-author of the law, told the House not to be stampeded by demands for changes and charged that the com- mission was set up "for the pur- pose of discrediting the law." Walter and Sen. McCarran (D- Nev.) have defended the new acti as protecting the American way of life. Opponents have attacked it as discriminating against some national and racial groups. Presi- dent-elect Eisenhower has agreed that some changes should be made. Speech Assembly A reading of "The Trial of Soc- rates" from Maxwell Anderson's "Barefoot in Athens" will be pre- sented at the Speech Department Assembly at 4 p.m. today in Lydia Mendelssohn Theater. -Daily-Larry wilk INJECTED ATHLETE-Merritt Green, '53, captain of the 1952 Michigan football team, gets a free flu injection at Health Service. Green was one of 450 persons who received the shots yesterday. Free injections will be given from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. every day this week, ending Saturday noon. National Roundup By The Associated Press DETROIT-Sobbing hysterical- ly, Kenneth Lee Maurer, 20, broke down and confessed late yesterday to killing his mother with his Boy Scout axe, prosecutor Gerald K. O'Brien reported. Ike To Send Two'Officials To Europe NEW YORK - (R) - President- elect Eisenhower will send two oft his top officials to Europe soon after he takes office to study po- litical trends there in relation to United States military and eco- nomic aid. They are John Foster DullesI who will be Secretary of State, and Harold E. Stassen, who will di- rect foreign economic aid as chief of the Mutual Security Agency. THEY ARE scheduled to leave at the end of this month for 10 days of conferences, James C. Hagerty, Eisenhower's press sec- retary, told newsmen yesterday. The decision for Dulles and Stassen to make a personal sur- vey of the European scene was reached at conferences Eisen- hower was holding yesterday with his Cabinet designees and other high officials of the forth- coming administration. It came at a time when Ameri- can officials are showing concern at a possible slowdown in building Western European defenses. Hagerty said Dulles and Stas- sen would make the trip at Eisen- hower's request to "gather infor- mation on political trends there in relation to United States par- ticipation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and in eco- nomic assistance" abroad. Charges Against Nine Believed To Forewarn Russian Jewish Purge LANSING - Rep. Wade Van Valkenburg (R-Kalamazoo) last night won the speakership of the House by being elected to the post in a secret Republican caucus. CHICAGO-A member of the surgical team that separated the Brodie Siamese twins said yes- terday that one of them, Rod- ney, has "a good chance of be- ing a normal kid." The other boy, Roger, he said, suffered permanent brain dam- age and could die "15 minutes from now." AUSTIN, Tex.-Spreading in- fluenza outbreaks were reported over the Midwest and Southwest yesterday with Texas apparently the hardest hit. WASHINGTON -American oil companies involved in government' charges of world-wide monopoly yesterday won a delay which throws the whole case into the lap of the incoming Eisenhowerl administration. Defying the Truman adminis- tration to go ahead with criminal action and turning down a condi- tional offer to substitute a civil suit, the companies went to court on their own trying to head off the whole affair. Campbell Named To Men 's Judie Paul B. Campbell, '54L, has been appointed to the Men's Judiciary Council it was announced yester- day. Campbell will fill the position vacated -by Dave Brown, '53, who resigned his post Saturday. The new Judiciary representa- tive is a member of the Case Club and is a former president of Aca- cia Fraternity. Press, Radio KilledTwo Demand Death For 'Murderers' By The Associated Press Soviet newspapers and radio yesterday demanded a swift trial and execution for nine doctors charged with killing two Russian leaders and trying to,kill others. The Kremlin's crackdown on the medics appeared to extend omi- nously a purge with anti-Jewish overtones that has flamed across Soviet satellites. * * * MOSCOW BLARED out a story of Western-backed intrigue within Russia that topped most of the anti-Semitic blasts fired in recent months from Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and East Germany. The government said most of the nine in the "terrorist group" were tied up with a Jewish or- ganization, and all were linked with U.S. and British spying. An official announcement - broadcast and discussed all over the Soviet Union yesterday-said the doctors had confessed ending the lives of Andrei A. Zhdanov and Alexander S. Scherbakov through faulty treatment of heart ailments. Zdhanov, a leading Politburo member, died four years ago at 52. Sherbakov died seven years ago at 44. He was head of the Army's political administration. * * * THE COMMUNIST newspaper Pravda denounced state security organs for failing to uncover the group sooner. It said the investi- gation still is going on. The official accusation said the nine doctors tried to weaken Soviet defenses by treating three marshals, one general of the Army and an admiral so that they would eventually die. Oth- ers not immediately named also were declared marked for death. Moscow was struck by the statement that the plot was car- ried out on instructions from Brit- ish and American intelligence services and Zionist organizations. There were angry demands for "stern punishment of the foul murderers." Soviets Told To Stay Away From Japan TOKYO--UP)-Gen. Mark Clark, U. S. commander in the Far East, backed up Japan's blunt warning to Russia yesterday to keep its planes from the air over Japan or they might be shot down. Clark's headquarters said he had "issued instructions o appropriate commanders to take all measures necessary to prevent further vio- lations of Japan's security or acts which endanger U. S. forces." JAPAN'S warning, made with full U. S. agreement, reflected a toughening policy. U. S. planes have not hitherto fired on intrud- ing Russian planes. Under the U. S.-Japanese Peace Treaty, American forces are charged with the defense of Japan.' The Japanese government in an Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island only six miles from the Russian-held Kuriles, "have of late become increasingly frequent."
