India Caught

PW Dispute
Won't Use Force
With Prisoners
A
PANMUNJOM-(M)-Custodian
India, caught in a squeeze by Al-
lied and Red demands, shied away
yesterday from a policy of force
y in handling 22,500 Chinese, and
North Korean prisoners balking
at a return to communism.
Shortly after receiving a letter
from the UN commander de-
manding that these men be guar-
anteed "freedom of choice," Lt.
Gen. K. S. Thimayya refused to
say that his troops would compel
the prisoners to listen individually
to Red "explanation" teams.
The Reds are making this their
key demand.
* * *
AT A CROWDED press confer-
ence, attended by both Commu-
nist and Allied newsmen, Thi-
mayya soft-pedaled the issue by
saying:
"I think we can ask the pris-
oners to listen for 5 to 10 m-
utes."
The UN Command agreed to
start work Wednesday on explan-
ation booths at a new sit agree-
able to the Reds in the demili-:
tarized zone. Indications were
that the twice-postponed explan-
ations may get started within a
week.

ON THIS issue Sen. Potter (R-
Mich.) said yesterday the Korean
truce terms forced the United Na-
tions to turn back to the Com-
munists hundreds of captured war
criminals who would have been
put on trial if the war had ended
in a UN military victory.
"They are now beyond our
' reach," Potter told a news con-
ference after questioning four
military representatives in pri-
vate and getting from them, he
said, "shocking revelations of
atrocities" committed by the
Reds on American prisoners of
war.
Potter, a legless veteran of
World War II, has been desig-
nated by Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.),
chairman of the Senate investiga-
tions subcommittee as a one-man
"task force" to investigate atroi-
ty charges.

dent Legislature today opens pe-
titioning for 23 seats on the legis-
lature, to be filled in campus-wide
lections scheduled for Wednesday
and Thursday, Nov. 11 and 12.

ship to 40 members instead of the
present 39. The extra seat was
made available because of the fall

signatures of students who think

lature this week, it was learned

million dollar dock strike.
A court order ended the walk-
out Monday night.

LONGSHOREMEN began
streaming back to work in such big
ports as New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore.
In New York, world's largest
port, 52 vessels started inching
into piers after the strike isolat-
ed them for days at anchor in
the harbor.
Tugmen were back on the job
and big liners were freed from the
ticklish task of maneuvering
themselves into berths. First to ar-
rive in New York after the strike's
end was the Swedish-American
liner Gripshom. The Italian Line's
Andrea Doria was first to sail.
At its height the strike tied up
more than 100 vessels in 12 har-
bors from Portland, Me., to Hamp-
ton Roads, Va.

A TAFT-Hartley lav injunction

WASHINGTON - (I) - Se
tary of Defense Wilson saidy
terday it is "perhaps stretchin
a bit" to say that the Russ
have a hydrogen bomb "ready

At the same time Secretar3
State Dulles reported that
United States is considering
joint move with its European a
to offer Russia formal guaran
against the rebirth of German
itarism.
IN CONTRAST to some re
official expressions of urge
Wilson told a news conference
believed the Russians are "t
or four years back of us" in at

"The Russians are certai
not going to deliver one bo
with one plane and have not
ing to back it up," he said.
The defense chief's statei
came a few hours after Pres
Eisenhower spoke out against1
threat of global H-bomb sui
involving "the possible doom

Wilson said there is no rea
to believe the Russians want

"I PERSONALLY feel sure t
if the Russians did precipitate

PROGRAM VENDORS:-
Sale of Dimte Rosters To Cease
<:'
By PAUL LADAS
The athletic department's long
battle to eliminate amateur foot-
ball program sellers at Saturday
games finally met with success
when Larry Wellman, '56M, and
Ronald Karp, '54, sole enterprisers
of the dime rosters on campus, dis-
closed yesterday they would dis-
continue the sale of programs for
the remainder of the season.
The decision was reached after
a meeting with Prof. Herbert 0.
"Fritz" Crisler, Director of Ath-
ment" caused them to decide "to
end their dime program enter-
prise."
"Crisler reminded us," the two
students said, "that we might
be in jeopardy of violating the
copyright of the official football
program, or that if this legal
action had no effect 'other al-
ternative steps could be taken'."
"The legal brief prepared by our
attorney Frank Devine," Wellman
and Karp said, "and stating that
our enterprise was completely le-
us to discontinue the distribution
of dime programs."
"We hope that the withdrawal
of our competition will speedily
return the selling of the official
souvenir football program to fi-
nancial stability," Welman and
Karp concluded.
Prof. Crisler declined to com-
ment on the ceasing of operations
by the two amateur program mak-
ers.

President Eisenhower warned a di-
vided world yesterday to put the
atom to constructive use, or risk
H-bomb suicide with "erasure of
cities. windrows of unidentifiable
dead."
He blamed Soviet Russia for a
nuclear artns race, in which the
free world must stockpile A-bombs
and.H-bombs "assuring us reason-
able safety from attack."
CONCERNING the threat of
atomic warfare the President said:
"In its wake we see only sud-
den and mass destruction . .
the possible doom of every na-
tion and society.
"This horror must not be.
"This titanic force must be re-
duced to the fruitful service of
mankind. If it is in the power of.
your leaders, with God's help, it
will be done.
* * *
"THIS CAN come to pass only
as o'e .of the results of shaping a
firm and just and durable peace."
"Such a peace," the President
added, would come "only slowly
and tortuously"-notby force or
edict or treaty or dark threats
or glittering slogans, but by
courage,rknowledge, patience
and leadership.
Some 5,000 listeners sat awed as
Eisenhower spelled out the world's
atomic future in solemn alterna-
ties. They were members of the
United Church Women of the Na-
tional Council of Churches of
Christ in the U.S.A., meeting in
Atlantic City's Convention Hall.
The President's speech was bill-
ed in advance. as a discourse on
spiritual values. But it went much
further.
EISENHOWER apparently took
another step to drive home to the
American people the threat posed
by Russia's progress toward the H-
bomb.
"The mysteries of the atom
are known to Russia," he said at
one point.
It was the third time in two
weeks Eisenhower referred to the
nuclear thret that faces the world
-in apparent resolve to awaken
the American people more fully
to the perils of an H-bomb age.
Eisenhower flew here from
Washington for his address, then
returned to the capital.
* * *.
HE LAUNCHED his discussion
of atomic horrors by pointing out
that America has lost its former
immunity to the devastation of
war.
"While our homes have wit-
nessed scarcely any of the hor-
rors of the battlefield that are
so familiar to Western Europe,"
he said, "we know that their
unique physical security has al-
most totally disappeared before
the long range bomber and the
destructive power of a single
bomb...
"The mysteries of the atom are
known to Russia. Russia's hostili-
ty to free government-and to the
religious faith on which free gov-
ernment is built -- is too well
known to require recital here."

Coloratura Roberta Peters
To Entertain at Hill Today
By BECKY CONRAD
Although two weeks late to make her local debut with the coming
of winter, Metropolitan Opera soprano Roberta Peters will appear for
the first time in Ann Arbor at 8:30 p.m. today in Hill Auditorium1
opening the Diamond Jubilee season of the Choral Union.
The 23 year old coloratura will sing Scarlatti's "Qual farfalletta
amante," Caccini's "Amarilli, mia bella," Mozart's "Der Holle Rache"
from The Magic Flute, Handel's "Sweet Bird" from Il Pensieroso, Ros-
sini's "The Alpine Shepherdess,' Viardot's "Dites, Que Faute-il Faire?"
and Bishop's "Lo! Here the Gentle
Lark."
Two youthful runaway patients'
from the University Neuropsychia-
tric institute took a 19-mile ride
yester'day, clinging precariously to
the outside of a cr'ack streamliner
hitting speeds up to 80 miles an
hour. 3
The two girls, 14 and 12 years
old, sneaked aboard the train at
Ann Arbor after escaping from
the institute. They clung to the
canvas-like windbreakers which
protect persons going from one car
to the other and miraculously
managed to keep a toe hold on
the speeding train.
The emotionally-disturbed girls'
claimed they ran away because
they were "kept in a ward with 27
boys," but Dr. Raymond W. Wag-
goner, director of the institute,
termed their story "fanciful."
The girls, one from Midland
and one fr'om Benton Harbor,
Mich., were returned to the insti-
tute.
