The sorority became the first women's residence group in recent years to be penalized for a drinking violation. * * * * DISCOVERY of the Sorosis fine cleared up mystery surrounding action by Joint Judiciary Council on a number of rumored violations F of the drinking rule last semester. Fire Chief YTerms Blaze Alarm Late By MARK READER As insurance adjustors prodded the remains of a $250,000 fire which swept through four campus stores Thursday, a spokesman for the Ann Arbor Fire Department said yesterday the blaze probably started several hours before it was first reported. According to Assistant Fire Chief a Harold Gauss the fire was well underway when the first crews of the department reached the scene of the blaze shortly after 5:20' a.m. * * * HE SAID there was only one entrance into the basement of the Campus Drug Store where the fire reportedly began and that was via a rear entrance in the Carmel Corn Shop which suffered smoke and water damage. This, he said, indicated that little oxygen had crept into the cellar and the small conflagra- fin lva bhaly Cmld~i- r for The $250 fraternity fine levied against Sigma Phi Epsilon for an unauthorized drinking party Oct. 24 was discovered earlier and reported in The Daily Dec. 18. The sorority party was a pre- pledge formal affair at which most of the house was present. Alcohol- ic beverages were served to minors. The violation was discovered when several participants at the party were picked up by authori- ties later. * * * SOROSIS PRESIDENT Joanna Lexen, '54BAd, refused to com- ment on the Judic action. Judie Chairman, Lee Fiber, '54, declined to comment on this specific case but explained there is no set rule for determining a group violation and that it de- pends on the individual case. Dean of Women Deborah Bacon said that it is unusual for a wom- en's housing group to be involved in a violation of this kind. Another case earlier in the se- mester involving Acacia fraterni- ty was dismissed by Judic when no group drinking violation could be determined. Several members of the house did receive individual fines, however, for drinking intox- icants and conduct unbecoming a student Oct. 31. No Opposition To Walter Bill A resolution by Rep. Francis Walter (D-Penn.) authorizing the House Judiciary Committee to challenge the court action brought against its Red hunters by De- troiter Balza Baxter was unani- mously approved in the House yes- terday. Baxter brought his suit against the Un-American Activities Com- mittee Chairman Harold Velde and Subcommittee Chairman Kit Clardy in an effort to void a sub- peona that he appear before the committees. THE RESOLUTION authorizes Judiciary Chairman Chauncey Reed (R-Ill.) to take whatever steps are "necessary to protect the privilege of the House." Said Walter: "I am sure the court willagree it has no juris- diction. I can see no reason why the judiciary committee should not report out legislation to brand this criminal conspiracy for what it is." Walter said he agreed with Rep. Dies (D-Tex.), author of the Dies Bill, that the Communist party should be outlawed. IN THE SPARROW Hospital in Lansing, meanwhile, Clardy is un- der observation following a heart attack suffered Tuesday night.' His physician Dr. K. G. Christian said Clardy's condition was "not alarm- ing" but emphasized that it was important that he rest. Velde said however, that Clar- dy has asked him to go ahead with the hearings March 29, even if he were still ill. The representative had original- ly planned to hold hearings in No- vember, and later Jan. 22, but was advised to delay them until the end of Smith Act Trials in De- troit. Hearings during the trial might prejudice the jury, it was suggested, permitting the defense to call for a mistrial. See BAXTER, Page 4 SAC Offered NOminatina Dilemma Aid By HARRY LUNN Daily Managing Editor Student Affairs Committee stu- dent members yesterday were of- fered a solution to the dilemma which arose last fall over who should nominate student members to the University Development Council. Meeting yesterday with Univer- sity and Council officials, the stu- dent members were told it was pos- sible for them to turn over the initial nominating job to Student Legislature, and merely approve SL's choices before passing them on to the President and Regents. THE CONTROVERSY arose in September when the first two stu- dent members were due to be ap- ointed by SAC student members as specified under the Council's charter. At that time five out of seven student members wanted to give the nominative function to SL on grounds that the function was more a proper duty of the Leg- islature than SAC.

Soviet Foreign Minister Molo- tov knocked out Austrian hopes of independence in the foreseeable future with these new demands: 1. SOVIET troops must' remain in Austria as long as Germany is divided between East and West. 2. Even a so-called independ- ence treaty for Austria must de- pend on banning the key Adriatic seapoit of Trieste now in American and British hands from use as a Western military base. The Russian demands, hidden behind the preamble of a reso- lution ' piously proposing the completion of an Austrian treaty within three months, appalled the Western ministers., U.S. Secretary of State Dulles exclaimed the Molotov proposal "gives me a cold chill."
