Stevenson
Discusses
Race Issue
'An American, Not
Southern Dilemma'
MINNEAPOLIS (M'-Adlai Stev
enson yesterday called the racil
problem "an American, nota
Southern, dilemma" that cannot b
solved until there is a change i
the minds and hearts of men.
Stevenson told 5,200 Universit
of Minnesota students and facult
members civil rights are "a mat
ter of grave national concern whe
a girl in Alabama is denied he
constitutional rights by mob vio
lence or subterfuge, or when mur
der goes unpunished in Mississippi
or when American citizens are de
nied peaceful occupancy of thei
homes in my own state of Illinois.
Cites Illinois Incident
His first two references clearl
were to the Autherine Lucy an
Emmett Till cases in Alabama an
Mississippi. At Cicero, Ill., severa
years ago mob violence greeted a
Negro couple moving into a whit
neighborhood.
"Before we cast a stone at Ala
bama," Stevenson said, ';it migh
be well for those of us who live i
some of the great Northern state
to ask ourselves in candor how th
Negro minority is faring in ou
own communities."
Opening a five-day campaign fo:
votes in the March 20 Minnesot
presidential primary, Stevenso
declared "the Democrats are o
the way back to Washington.'
When they get there, he said, "a
American citizen who has the habi
of original thought will no longe
be a displaced person."
He was starting a five-day swing
through the state in his drive fo
Minnesota support in the state's
March 20 presidental primary, i
which he opposes Sen. Estes Ke-
fauver (D-Tenn).
Hisuniversity audience applaud
ed when he said, "There is no ares
in which partisan advantage shoul
be more subordinated to nationa
interest than in the conduct of ou
foreign relations."
Sees Better 'Treatment
"I hope and confidently believe
that the Eisenhower Administra-
tion will get more responsibl
treatment from the Democrats ir
1956 than it gave in 1952," th
presidentialhopeful said.
"And I can at least hope, an
I confidently believe, that in these
perilous times even Secretary Dul-
les' cynical attitude of politic
first may moderate."
Stevenson'said the nation never
can be secure until the liberties of
every individual are secure.
Auto Workers
Resume Jobs
DETROIT () - Studebaker-
Packard .Corp.'s Clipper Division
Friday summoned 5,500 laid-off
workers to return to work Monday.
It was the first major recall in
the auto industry, where layoffs
and slowdowns have been the rule
since Jan. 1. An estimated 48,000
of the industry's 800,000 produc-
tion workers now are on furlough
or indefinite layoff. Studebaker-
Packard furloughed workers on its
Clipper assembly lines .Feb. 9. Stu-
debaker-Packard announced at the
time, as did other auto-makers in
making layoffs, that the reason
was to bring production into line
with retail sales and thus reduce
dealer stocks, which have been at

record levels this year.
Dr. Clark Norton
Receives Grant
Dr. Clark F. Norton, former Uni-
versity instructor and Ann Arbor
city councilman, yesterday received
a grant from the Fund for the
Republic.
The grant will be used by Dr.
Norton for a study of municipal
loyalty and security measures in
more than 115 Midwestern cities.
Study under the $4,250 grant
will cover all cities over 25,000
population in an area including
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio,
and Wisconsin.
Dr. Norton is a political science
professor at DePauw University,
which chose him as the first recip-
ient for the grant from the Fund.

HOUGHTON-Michigan shattered the myth of Michigan Tech
here last night with a precision-smooth 5-2 win to assure itself of its
ninth straight NCAA playoff berth.
Colorado College's last chance to overtake the Wolverines for
second place in the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League and for
a playoff bid were destroyed with the Tigers' humiliating loss to Den-
ver, 10-3.

Tonight Michigan will be concentrating on first place in the WIHL.

Judge Sends
Murderer
To Solitary
Harold A. Johnson, found guilty
of murder in the first degree
Thursday, was sentenced yesterday
to life imprisonment in solitary
confinement by Judge James R.
Breakey, Jr.
The life penalty is mandatory In
Michigan. Johnson's chances of
ever being free on parole are slight.
Only a governor's pardon can over-
ride the sentence.
A Circuit Court jury of eight
women and four men returned a
verdict of guilty to the charge that
Johnson shot to death his one-
year-old daughter, Margaret, while
she lay asleep in her crib Jan. 9.
Johnson's wife and daughter,
aged three, also died by his hand
that same evening.
The convict will be lodged in
Southern Michigan Prison. Al-
though the sentence calls for soli-
tary confinement, this part of the
penalty will not be carried out as
the prison does not have facilities
for such punishment.

In Physies Lab
A shock tube which produces
temperatures three times those1
on the surface of the sun is now
being experimented with in a Uni-
versity physics lab.
The instrument is being used to
give astronomers here a more com-
plete understanding of tempera-
tures and composition of celestial
bodies.
The heat-15,000 degrees of it-
is generated in the long, narrow
shock tube after a diaphragm
which separates gases under ex-
tremely high and low pressures is-
broken.
As the high-pressure gas rushes
into the low-pressure zone, a pow-
erful shock wave is produced thatt
moves along the 12-foot tube at 10
to 20 times the speed of sound.
Since heat is the energy of atoms1
in motion, the violently-agitatedI
gas particles in the wake of the1
shock wave reach incredibly hight
temperatures for an instant.
As the wave passes a small win-
dow at the end of the tube, Uni-
versity physicists measure its speedt
then calculate its temperaturet
from hydrodynamic and thermo-
dynamic equations.-

Bulletin
BIRMINGHAM, Ala (A) -
Suits asking $4,000,000 damages
from Autherine Lucy, the Na-
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
and others were filed at Birm-
ingham yesterday by four men
who were charged they had
been falsely accused of partici-
pation in mob action.
NEW YORK (A) - Tight-lipped
and grim, Negro coed Autherine
Lucy said yesterday she will con-
,tinue her legal fight for admitance
to the University of Alabama.
She said she is not going to ac-
cept the university's expulsion of
her Thursday.
The 26-year-old Alabama girl
told a news conference, "Icannot
see any reason to abandon'my sole
purpose of obtaining an education
within the meaning of the deci-
sions of the Supreme Court of the
United States."
Authorizes Lawyers
Miss Lucy said she had author-
ized her lawyers to "take what-
ever steps are necessary."
Thurgood Marshall, attorney for
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
said he and aides were seeking
some legal means to resume the
battle.
Miss Lucy was suspended from
the all-white university Feb. 6
after a rioting mob drove her from
the campus at Tuscaloosa. Her
entry into the 125-year-old univer-
sity climaxed a two-and-a-half-
year legal fight over segregation.
On Wednesday, United States
District Judge H. Hobart Grooms
ordered Miss Lucy reinstated at
the university.
Promptly, the university trustees
expelled the coed for making false
charges against the school.
The charges that university offi-
cials conspired with the mob to
keep her, from attending classes
were withdrawn by her lawyers
during the court hearing.
Expects to Return
She said she saw no use in try-
ing to enter the university on
Monday, as thecourt had directed.
But she said she expects to ,return
to Birmingham, "within the next
week."
As for Miss Lucy's decision not
to return to Tuscaloosa, Marshall
told reporters, "I can see no reason
for endangering her life in vain.
There is a good possibility that
she would be harmed."

EAST LANSING -- Defending
champion Michigan and Indiana
had 10 qualifying spots each to
take the upper hand in the Big
Ten track and field championships
at Jenison Field House here last
night.
Most of Michigan's "power boys"
will see their only action in the
remaining eight events today at 2
o'clock. This would seem to indi-
cate that it will take some doing
to dethrone Don Canham's Big
Ten kings.
Iowa Qualifies Eight
Iowa, pre-meet choice as the
leading contender confronting the
favored Wolverines, was next in
line with eight firsts in the pre-
liminaries.
Actually, the Hoosiers and Hawk-
eyes stole the show before the
sparse crowd, composed mostly of
Michigan, State students. Each
squad accounted for five firsts.
lyichigan's only winner was Bob
Brown, who took the first heat of
the 300-yard dash, but most of the
competitors were simply trying to
qualify.
Real Story Today
The real story of the meet can-
not be told until the finals. There,
were preliminaries in only seven
events, including most of those in
which Indiana and Iowa are
strongest.
Last night's events included two'

CHAMPAIGN, Ill.-By virtue of
t h all-important elimination
r o un d s, Michigan's undefeated
gymnastics team has been virtually
knocked out of championship run-
ning in the Big Ten Meet.
It's been all Gabin Blair and
Don Tonry as powerful Illinois has
completely dominated the scene
here at Huff Gym. The host squad
has placed 22 men in the finals
compared to Michigan's 15.
Must Fight For Second
The fight 'that the Wolverines
face now is to stay in second place.
Michigan State is offering strong,
unexpected competition. By com-
parison of men placed, the Spar-
tans have a slight advantage, 16-
15.
In the shadow of Blair and Ton-
ry, Michigan's top performer has
been Ed Gagnier.. The slim sopho-
more has been first in the long-
horse event, the sidehorse, and the
flying rings. He qualified in a to-
tal of six events. Blair and Tonry
will also participate in six events
today.
Gagnier suffered misfortune
when he fell from the highbar.
This knocked many points from
his score and thus eliminated him
from one of his strongest events.
This fall was disastrous to Gag-
nier's chances of winning the all-
around. As a result, he finished
third with 1410 points behind Ton-
ry and Blair. Tonry's total was

Conferences
WASHINGTON (R) - Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles left
for South Asia yesterday to confer
with leaders of free nations on
Russia's new cold war offensive
and measures which may be de-
veloped to strengthen free world
defenses.
Before he left, it was learned, he
worked out with President Dwight
D. Eisenhower a new message to
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin.
It reportedly urges Bulganin to
join the United States and other
Western Powers in taking initial
steps toward a worldwide disarm-
ament program.
Secretary Dulles and top State
Department officials took off from
Washington Airport in a United
States Air Force plane. Their
schedule called for stops at the
Azores and Malta en route to
Karachi, Pakistan. There the Sec-
retary will meet with other foreign
ministers of the eight-nation alli-
ance known as the Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization.

Niehuss Clarifies
'U' Plans On Bid
1By LEE MARKS
A second citizens' committee has
been formed in Grand Rapids to
back Michigan State University in
attempt to establish a four 'year
MSU branch.
F. D. Pace, a member of the
Grand Rapids - MSU Committee
said yesterday "positive interest"
in establishing such a branch has
been shown by MSU officials.
University officials met with the
Grand Rapids Citizens' Commit-
tee for Medical Education recently
in response to queries whether the
University would be interested in
establishing a branch.
'U' Would Consider
At that time University Presi-
dent Harlan H. Hatcher said the
University would "most seriously
consider" a four year branch in
Grand Rapids.
MSU Director of Extensions Dur-
ward B. Varner said yesterday he
had conferred with members of
the Grand Rapids-MSU Commit-
tee at their request Wednesday.
"They asked me if MSU would
be interested in a four year branch
at Grand Rapids. I told them we
would be if the local citizens
wanted it," Varner said.
University Vice-President and
Dean ofdFaculties Marvin L.Nie-
huss told the Daily yesterday that
the University is interested only
if it is the desire of Grand Rapids'
citizens to have a University
branch there.
"We will continue to negotiate
only so long as the opinion of. the
Grand Rapids Citizens' Committee
represents the opinion of the com-
munity." Niehuss commented.
"The University won't go there
if the community is opposed and
we won't oppose any other insti-
tution that wants to establish a
branch.
'U' Definitely Interested
"So far " Niehuss pointed out,
"we have only responded to in-
quiries. We are definitely interest.
ed though."
Pace said the Grand Rapids-
MSU Committee was formed Wed-
nesday.
"If such a school (a branch) is
put here we think MSU should'
have a chance to bid for it," Pace
said.
'Pace described the committee as
being composed of interested cit-
izens, MSU alumni and "other
friends of MSU. He said his com-
mittee has had no contact with
the Grand Rapids Citizens' Com-
mittee.
Niehuss stressed that before a
branch of any school is establish-
ed, a good deal of preliminary
study must be made.
"You don't dash out and estab-
lish branches. There is a lot of
planning to do yet," he noted.
