The action brought immediate and unfavorable Soviet reaction. The last hurdle was dramatically cleared by an 11th hour com- promise settlement of the long and acrimonious dispute between France and West Germany over the future of the coal-steel rich Saar--once German, now tied economically to France. As the foreign ministers solemnly affixed their signatures to the pacts, the Soviet Union denounced them as war-breeding instruments. In notes to the United States, Britain and France the Russians proposed once again that the Big Four meet next month and wrestle with the r German problem-on Soviet terms. Little Brown Jug Regained by'M' Wolverines Surprise Homecoming Crowd of 70,303 in Crucial Test By HANLEY M. GURWIN Associate Sports Editor Michigan did it again-and this time in grand style. Scoring in every quarter, the Wolverines dominated the game from the opening kick-off till the closing seconds to completely stun a favored and previously unbeaten Minnesota eleven, 34-0, before a Homecoming Day crowd of 70,303 fans here yesterday. For the second time this season, Michigan overcame the odds to dump one of the nation's top teams, the first time being the 14-13 victory over Iowa. An Easy Victory Unlike the Hawkeye clash, when the Wolverines had to fight Soviet Note Seeks New Conference MOSCOW (RP)-The Soviet Un- ion yesterday vehemently de- nounced the London-Paris agree- ments for rearming Western Ger- many and proposed again a meet- ing of the Big Four foreign min- isters to settle the problem of re- unifying Germany. The Soviet note, suggesting that the meeting be held next month was handed to the American, Brit- ish and French ambassadors at the very time the London accords bringing Western Germany intc the Western defense alliance were being signed in Paris. This decision of rearming West- ern Germany, the note said, "rad- ically contradict the interests oI the maintenance of peace and in- tensifies the threat of a new war in Europe." West Not Surprised Few Western diplomats were surprised by the timing of the note which, in effect, rejected pre- vious Western conditions for a Big Four meeting. These included de- mands that the Soviet Union agree to sign an Austrian independence treaty and to hold genuinely free all-German elections before any such conference takes place, The note condemned the Lon- don-Paris agreements as "opening the way for reestablishment of German militarism." "Western Germany would be Must Be Ratified All agreements reached are subject to parliamentary ratifi- cation. This may be difficult in France and West Germany where many political leaders favor an- other try at ending the cold war with Russia first. Aside from the Saar agreement -which isn't textually final as yet -these things were done: 1. The United States, Britain, France and Germany agreed to end the Allied occupation of West Germany and to restore all but full sovereignity to the West Germans. 2. Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, West Germany and Italy joined in an enlarged Brussels pact which con- , tains more definite controls over armament of its members than does the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization pact. -Daily-Dick Gaskill TONY BRANOFF, WOLVERINE BACK RETURNING TO ACTION, RIPS THROUGH THE MINNESOTA LINE.

Michigan piled up an astronomi- cal total of 443 net yards for the afternoon while the Gophers could muster only 138. In racking up a 17 to five advantage in the first- downs column, the Wolverines rolled to 261 yards on the ground compared to Minnesota's 43. From the moment that Wolver- ine Danny Cline returned the opening kick-off back to his own 39-yard line, it was evident to the cheering crowd that the Maize and Blue were primed for another upset. After an exchange of punts, Michigan began a drive on its own 30-yard line which was not stop- ped until the Gophers stiffened and held on their own one. Branoff Scorers Not to be thwarted, Cline gath- ered in a Minnesota punt on the next play and ran it back to the 13. Tony Branoff, back in the line-up for the first time in three weeks, galloped with the ball the rest of the way in two plays. Kramer converted the first of four perfect extra-points (he has not missed one this season) and the Wolverines led 7-0 with 12:35 gone in the quarter. Midway through the second per- iod, Michigan culminated an 80- yard march as fullback Fred Baer cracked over left guard for the first of his two touchdowns.
