Mitts, '54, said yes- terday as he admired a three-and- a-half foot high wrought iron statue. He was looking at the trophy awarded to the University's Inter- fraternity Council Friday for hav- ing "the most outstanding pro- gram of IFC activity in the Unit- ed States and Canada during 1952-53." ANNOUNCEMENT of the honor came at the 45th annual National Interfraternity Conference held last weekend in Cincinnati. Presenting the award, awards chairman J. Edward Murphy of Philadelphia lauded the Univer- sity's IFC for "an all around job of service, help and deter- mination to have fraternities play the role for which they were intended-and then add something to that - Michigan gets top honors." IFC officers said last year's IFC president, Pete Thorpe, '57M, and the rest of last year's IFC staff de- served "most of the credit." Representing the University at the conference were Acting Dean of Students Walter B. Rea and William S. Zerrman, assistant to the dean of students. Local IFC delegates at the con- clave were Mitts, IFC executive vice-president John Baity, '56, and administrative vice-president Sam Siporin, '54.a A WEIGHTY 25 pound report on the IFC's activities during 1952-53 was the basis for the judges' decision. Four areas of IFC operation were considered in making the awards. They are service to 1) local community, 2) member fra- ternities, 3) the university and general student body and 4) "fraternity ideals." The undergraduate interfrater- nity councils at the conference represented 125,000 college men in more than 3400 fraternity chap- ters. Ex-Governor Sigler Killed In Air Crash BATTLE CREEK-(P)--Former Governor Kim Sigler and three companions were killed late yester- day in a light plane crash near Augusta, about eight miles north of here. A coroner identified Sigler as one of the victims. SIGLER'S private plane, which he was piloting himself, rammed into either the top of a 540-foot television tower or a guy wire sup- porting it. The plane sailed out of control for three-quarters of a mile, crashed into a woods and burned. One wing was ripped off the plane by the impact. The other victims were be- lieved to be his secretary, Mrs. Ruth Prentiss; her sister, Mrs. Virginia Schuyler; and Mrs. Schuyler's husband, Harold. Sigler, silver-haired 59-year- ld one-time fiery prosecutor who rocketed to the top of state poli- tics and the governor's chair in 1946, had been on a business trip to New Orleans. He had called his law office in nearby .Lansing only an hour before the crash to say he was on his last leg of the flight home in his four-passenger plane. The television tower toppled ov- er a few minutes after the crash and smashed through the roof of the transmitter building. The tow- er, that of Battle Creek UHF sta- tion WBCK-TV, is near Augusta. Sigler, a Republican, was gov- ernor for one two-year term in 19- 47-48. Then he was defeated by the present Democratic governor, G. Mennen Williams, who has held the office since then. Center To Honor Lights Out! VIENNA, Austria - (A) -- Bulgarian newspapers reaching Vienna yesterday disclosed that darkness has fallen on the people of that Soviet satellite. There is such a shortage of electricity that throughout the country only one bulb may be used for Illumination in each household. Hyma Lauds" Court Ruling 'On Medium Calling it a "step in the right direction," Prof. Albert Hyma of the history department yesterday I praised the State. Supreme Court ruling permitting him to sue a Detroit spiritualist over bad finan- cial advice., He said the court decision was "unprecedented" because never before had a high court upheld a decision against spiritualists and their financial "manipulations." A YEAR AGO, Prof. Iyma charged Lillian Lee, widowed pas- tor of the Church of Christ Inter- denominational, with bilking him of $16,400. He contended she had "held herself out as a spiritualist with mystical powers of commun- icating with the dead." According to the history pro- fessor, the medium had con- ducted seances in which the{ advice of various "spirits" caus-I ed him to turn down a $2,700 offer for stock in a company that later went bankrupt, spend $4,200 for a fruitless oil venture, and mortgage his Ann Arbor home for $8,500 to ransom a political prisoner in a Mexican jail, who would then turn over to him a considerable fortune. Circuit Judge Adolph F. Marsch- ner at that time dismissed the suit on the grounds there was no cause for action, since there was no proof the medium had profitted personally. In its reversal, the Supreme Court said there is cause for action. Eden Hopes For Russia Conferene I.T.S. To Adopt Tough Attitude WASHINGTON-(P)-Secretary of State Dulles hinted strongly yesterday the United States will accept Russia's bid for an early meeting of the Big Four foreign ministers in Berlin. "We approach a possible meet- ing with the representatives of the Soviet Union," he told a congres- sional committee. DULLES SPOKE about the same time that Foreign Minister An- thony Eden was telling the British House of Commons he has "every reason to believe" the United States shares his hope an early conference can be arranged. The State Department declin- ' ed to say whether Dulles has as- sured Eden of this attitude in secret cables which have been flowing between London, Paris and Washington. State Department press officer Lincoln White noted tha't numer- ous diplomatic exchanges have been made since Russia sprang its surprise invitation on the West last Friday. IN GERMANY, British and French officials said informally that all signs pointed to a Big Four session being held in West Ber- lin late in January. Dulles' comment wound up testimony before a special.House committee investigating Rus- sia's seizure of the three Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. He gave advance notice that the United States will adopt a tough attitude in dealing with Russia's Foreign Minister Molotov in the event a satisfactory basis for a conference can be found. His broad hint, however, that the United States might agree to Russia's invitation contrasted rather sharply with official State Department comment on Moscow's bid last Friday. At that time, the department labeled Russia's note "disappoint- ing" and said it represented ano- ther Soviet move to block French approval of the proposed unified European army. -Daily-Don Campbell C.

OTHER BIG TEN BANS OFF: i an+er Producing Element Found in Cigarette Smoke By PAT VtNOKUR "There is something in cigarette smoke which can produce can- cer," explained Dr. E. A. .Graham of St. Louis and Dr. E. Wynder, after completing experiments with mice, using the tars from tobacco smoke. University doctors declined comment on the discovery. ACCORDING TO statistics given ini this week's Time magazine, there has been a rise in the number of cases of lung cancer since 1930, most of the cases being men over forty.' In 1949, it was shown -- ----that out of two h.undred cases of lung cancer, ninty five per cent were men who had long been hea- 'vy smokers. t Only University KeepsCar Restrictions EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first, a series of articles dealing with the are any students over 26 years old ty's deputy sheriffs to enforce the ving ban and current efforts to- or anyone holding the rank of ban.
