She sai4 Helen Allison Winter, wife of Ca] Winter, then head of the Michiga: Communist Party, was in charge c the office. Mrs. Winter ordered the record taken to the Civil Rights Congres office, across Cadillac Square I the Reid Building, explaining, Mn Baldwin said, that "the Commu. nist Party Offices probably woul' be interrogated" about the Reu ther shooting. Winter and his wife later wen to prison beause of charges aris ing from their Communist affilia tions. Winter was :one of 11 tol Reds convicted in New York o conspiring to overthrow th'e gov ernment by force. Mrs. Winter wa convicted in Detroit of a similar Charge. Civil Rights Mrs. Baldwin's testimony was tc the effect that the Civil Right Congress in : tichigan was run by the Communist Party. Urging support of a Civil Right Congress meeting at the Detroi Ma'sic Hall in April, 1949, Nat Ganley, another of the Smith Act Defendants, was quoted by Mrs. Baldwin as describing the Con- grezs as "an instrument of the Communist Party." Mrs. Baldwin said her job at the meeting was to record the names of everyone who went into the meeting "to keep enemies (of the Communist Party) out." She named one "enemy" who was ejected from the. meeting as e Arthur Fox, a "Trotskyite." Among those present she maiu were Patrick Walsh and Stanley Novak, then 1 Michigan State Senators; Detroit Attorneys Ernest Goodman, Har- ry Anbender and Maurice Sugar; Colman Young, then Executive Secretary of the Progressive Party in Michigan, and the Reverend Charles Hill of Detroit. Fund Debate Closed to Daily Student Legislature's cabinet de- bated yesterday disposition of its treasury reported to amount to ap- proximitely $5000. The discussion, taking place at SL's weekly open cabinet meeting, was closed to a Daily reporter. SL President Ned Simon, '55, asked the reporter to keep the discussion of finances off-the-rec- ord so the reporter left the meet- ing. Early last month SL Treasurer Bill Adams, '57, said the Legisla- ture had nearly $5,000 in its gen- eral treasury not including $2,500 in the Cinema Guild (Develop- ment) Fund. At an open cabinet meeting held at that time there .vs some oppo- sition to passing the treasury to Student Government Council. Other possibilities included a ,f scholarship fund, improvements in the SL Bnok Exchange, money to help start a -ew student book store, and extension in member- ship of National Student Associa- tion. Formal motions for disposition of the mor y will be made either at the regular SL meeting tomor- row or at the meeting next week. enresentatives ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1955 EIGHT PAGE ANN RBO, MCH a.

Speaking in Rackham Amphi- theatre under the auspices of the journalism department, the Louis- ville Courier-Journal's editor and publisher commented on the eco- nomic picture of American news- papers. Rising Costs "Costs are rising and revenues are not keeping up," he declared, "and we do not have an expanding economy." Ethridge ascribed part of the ris- ing costs to lack of research on better printing methods. "Newspapers are a generation behind in research." he said, "in fact, there has been no major im- provement in newspaper printing in the last 50 years." According to Ethridge, the other side of the problem, lack of ade- quate income, is due to competing media,, especially television. He said that television is going the way of radio-towards more The man who writes the scripts certainly picked out a beautiful y ! one to present before 4,000 roaring fans at Yost Field House last night.

I . . Three in GOP State Contest Michigan Republicans are pre- sented wihh a choi'e of three pos- sible gubernatorial candidates 18 months before the State primary. In a resolution passed unani- mously by both houses of the GOP-controlled - State Legislature last week Mayor Alfred E. Cobo of Detroit was lauded for his politi- ,mal record and from Washington, Republican Congressmen Gerald R. Ford of Grand Rapids and Al- vin M. Bentley of Owosso have indicated their willingnesF to run for the post. Interpreted as a ba for Cobo to give up his nonpartisanship and rebuild the State GOP, the joint resolution indicates the lawmak- ers' interest in Cobo as a new- face candidate for the 1956 elec- tions. Cobo Hasn't Accepted The 61-year-old mayor hasn't said yes or no to this bid, but his achievements in Detroit have ex- panded his State-wide influence. A member of the Clay Commit- tee, Cobo's suggestions for pledg- ing current rev'nue to secure the expense necessary to modernize the national and state highway systems may become part of the Federal pattern. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's reported confi- dence in him is also in his favor. Ford and Bentley are both men who have successful careers in Congress. Each ran ahead of Ei- senhower in 1952 and each got more than 60 per cent backing in 1954. Agree On Rules Both have agreed not to run against the other nor will they .run in a split field. Furthermore, they reportedly have definite ideas for 'bettering state campaigning which the GOP must accept. Enteing Congress in 1948, Ford has served on the House Appro- Journalism Schools According to Ethridge, journal- ism schools can help to alleviate poor newspaper -riting. "The time has come for our journalism schools to become professional in the fullest sense," he said. "They must put the emphasis upon mak- ing the man intellectually," he continued. The speaker described 'his per- fect journalism curriculum' as be- ing "heavy in English composition and literature, foreign languages, political science, economics, psy- chology, and sociology." Speaking of the University's journalism department, Ethridge said it is at the very top.

U.S. Role in Quemoy Subject of Speculation By The Associated Press SpeculaLion on Formosa rose yesterday over whether the United States would help defend Matsu and Quemoy after President Chiang Kai-shek declared the islands never would be abandoned. The mighty Seventh Fleet, which covered the peaceful withdraw- al from the Tachen Islands north of Formosa, was returning to patrol stations around Formosa and to other Far East bases. Vice Admiral Alfred Pride, Seventh Fleet commander, left aboard the heavy cruiser Helena for a secret destination, but he has said his warships would be ready to undertake any mission assigned them. Peiping Boast There was no confirmation here of Peiping radio's boast the Com- munists Sunday "liberated" the Tachens, 200 miles north of Formosa. It was considered likely the "liberation" consisted of a small land- Cing party from nearby Red islets. The Council refused 10-1 to consider now as an urgent matter a Moscow plan to end the hostil- ities by condemning alleged Unit- ed States aggression against Chi- na and ordering withdrawal of American forces from Formosa. "The Cause of Peace" Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., said the Council has not concluded its consideration of a proposal by Sir Leslie Knox, New Zealand, for a cease-fire' in the troubled area, "Indeed," Lodge said in a state- ment, "it has hardly begun to do so. In these circumstances, we would have done the Council and the cause of peace an injustice if we were to allow discussion of the Soviet item to becloud the issues of the urgent matter at hand," The Council formally invited Red China on Jan. 31 to send a representative here for the dis- cussion of the New Zealand pro- posal. Peiping- quickly turned this down with a blunt demand for the Council to discuss the Soviet item first and oust Nationalist China in favor of a Communist Chinese delegation. Sir Pierson. Dixon, Britain, whose government has taken the lead in consultations with Mos- cow for some arrangement to stop the fighting, said that the Red Chinese rejection was not helpful. He suggested, the Council adjourn while governments study the sit- uation and consult. Adjourns Without Vote The.Council did after a three- hour session and without a vote. The delegates left it up to the Council president, Victor Bela- unde, Peru, to call a meeting when- ever developments warrant. In London, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden said in the. House of Commons that Britain and Russia are still engaged in diplo- matic exchanges looking toward an easing of the crisis. He said any conference would have to include Chinese Nationalists and Chinese Communists. Turnpike Plan Protested By Mchigan Residents I By PAT ROELOFS Engineering and financial prob- lems aren't the only barriers would-be turnpike builders run into. The people whose homes and towns lie in the path of proposed super highways sometimes offer more resistance to construction of turnpikes than do huge building cost.' Such is the snag the Michigan Turnpike Authority ran into last week, when Bloomfield township residents (near Detroit) protested the proposed site of part of the 'REAL REPRESENTATION':A' ssists Houses erVes ampus Michigan turnpike. The turnpike would require destruction or mov- ing of several $20,000 to $40,000 modern homes there. In addition to the fear that ex- pensive homes and property would be cut inwo to clear the path for the four-lane road, Bloomfield res- idents have explained they don't want a toll road to create a "Chi- nese Wall" that would permanent- ly separate one side of the road from the other. Bonding Costs Bloomfield residents have added the charge that "money hungry" bond holders are pushing the turn- pike project. Specifically, bond costs exceed actual building costs for the highway because, finan- ceers explain, a high rate of inter- est must be paid even before tolls start coming in at turnpike gates. Turnpike authorities in Ann Ar- bor, state MTA headquarters, are hoping to be able to let contracts for construction of the 115-mile stretch of the "North-South" Turnpike, (from Rockwood, neara the Ohio border, to Bridgeport,a near Saginaw) by summer. , Landowners' protests may be squelched to meet that date, if I incidents fromt other states mayi be any indication. In Illinois, In- diana, and Ohio, turnpike authori- ties have always been able to ob- tain the land desired for building turnpikes, sometimes th- o u g h The Tachens were scorched before they were abandoned and nothing of value was left. There were more reports of Communist boat concentrations near the Matus, off the coast 100 miles northwest of Formosa, but there was no indication of any in- tent to invade. Such concenti&- tions are usual. Chiang Predicts Chiang predicted at a rare news conference, however, that occupa- tion of the Tachens would make the Reds "more adventurous." His interpreter said Chiang meant the Communists woul' try to attack Formosa. Chiang in answer to a question declared: "As a matter of fact, whether Kinmen, Quemoy and Matsu, when they are attacked, will be jointly defended by, the United States and our government or not is actually very clear to us, also to the Communists; and it is also very clearly said in Eisenhow- er's statement.' Red China Accusations Dispatches from Tokyo told of violent attacks by Red China's leaders, Mao Tze Tung and Chou En-lai, against "imperialists." Chou, the Red Chipese Premier, accused the United States of "pre- paring an atomic war" against the Communist world and predicted defeat if "United States aggressive circles attack." Mao, ruler of Red China, de- clared 'that "should the imperial- ists start a war," the Communist world "will certainly wipe them'out clean from the surface of the globe." 11A Me 1ivtor SGC Elective Posts Doubled' Student Government Council pe- titions in circulation doubled elec- tive SGC positions for the first time yesterday as five students picked up petitions from 1020 Ad- ministration Bldg. Thomas Sawyer, '58, Robert Ba- con, '55E, Tony Trittipo, '58, Bob Spath, '56BAd, and Bill Brumm, '56, took out petitions yesterday bringing the total to 23. There are 11 elective SGC posts.

Houses will be advised how to go about raising funds and administering them in the form of scholarships. In the future probably the big- gest problem will be the financial one of contacting alumni from the telling them how to get things done in the easiest and best ways.
