S. troops against a potential aggressor. This position was taken in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by Chairman Connally (D.-Tex.), Senator Vandenberg (R.-Mich.) and Minority Leader White (R.-Me.). The development in the United Nations Charter hearing was precipi- ;ated by Senator Millikin (R.-Colo.) Millikin wanted to know whether it would violate the charter to reserve the use of troops to either Congress or the President, when the Security Council of the United Nations decides nforce is needed to keep peace. Faculty Men To Speak at SOIC Rally Jack Gore On Youth{ To Report Conference Initial steps toward the adoption of a foreign university will be taken when the student body hears stu- dents and faculty members, who have attended foreign universities, speak at a mass rally to be held at 7:301 p. m. EWT (6:30 p. m. CWT) tomor- row on the steps of the Rackham Building. In addition to these speakers, Jack Gore, University student, will give a report on the Washington Youth Conference from which he has just returned. Dean AlieM. Lloyd will be pres- ent to discuss the'University admin- istration's point of view on the ad- option. Sponser of the rally is the Student Organization for International Co- operation. Formed of delegates from University organizations representing every person on campus, the SOIC will undertake the adoption. The universities which will be considered are ones which have been destroyed during the war, and adoption will in- volve the sending .of supplies to aid in rehabilitation. Decision as to what university shall be adopted will be made by the en- tire student body at a campus elec- tion to be held in the near future. Gore was sent to Washington as a representative of the University. The Conference was made up of delegates from 46 United States youth groups, and was held to formulate a platform for the American representative to the International Youth Conference to be held in London this fall. County Clerks To Hold Meeting Fifty members of the Michigan State Association of County Clerks will meet Aug. 14-16 at Roscommon, Mrs. Luella M. Smith, Washtenaw County Clerk, announced yesterday. The meeting will be open to stand- ing committee members. I g Sensing a move to write in a reser- vation, Connally declared that such an idea would violate "the spirit of the charter." Vandenberg argued warmly that it would violaterthe Constitution of the United States. The Michigan senator took the position that the U. S. delegate is the instrument of thePresident and holds the President's power to call out troops. This doesn't interfere with Congress' right to declare a state of war, he pointed out. "The President has the right to employ troops; it has been used 72 times in 150 years," Vandenberg con- tended. "We are merely writing into the charter the constitutional prac- tices of 150 years." Senator White declared that a reservation in the delegate's author- ity would "destroy the charter." Barker Speaks- On Releasing Atomic Energy "There is enough atomic energy in a teaspoon of water to fly around the world 200,000 times at the equator if means can be found to release this energy," Prof. Ernest F. Barker, chairman of the physics department, stated in a lecture on Atomic Energy yesterday before the Graduate Stu- dent Council. The problem is how to release this potential energy, Prof. Barker con- tinued. Our present supplies of oil, coal and other fuels are rapidly being depleted, he said. The possibilities of atomic energy are almost unlimit- ed and would provide a cheap source of energy for countless generations, Prof. Barker said. While the immediate harnessing of atomic energy is impossible, the theory has been substantiated and proof exists that it could be de- veloped, Prof. Barker stated. After all, the sun uses atomic energy and since we get all our energy from the sun, we have been using atomic ener- gy all the, time, he concluded. This lecture was the first function of the reorganized Graduate Student Council. The next talk will be July 24, by Mr. Frank L. Huntley. 'U' Announces Dormitories To Be Built Housing for 1,350 In New Projects Construction plans for a new men's dormitory, a women's dormitory and a low -cost housing unit, particularly for World War II veterans and their wives, were announced yesterday by the University. Although the sites have been se- lected, construction will not begin until quality materials can be ob- taied which will make possible last- ing structures, Prof. Lewis M. Gram, director of University plant exten- sion, said. Married Couples Apartments in tie maried-couples housing unit will accommodate ap- proximately 350 residents while each of the dormitories will house about 500 students. The apartments wil be built on the vacant land owned by the University east of 'U' Hospital, and north of the Michigan Children's Institute. The project will consist of separate three-story buildings commanding a view of the Huron River Valley. Site of the women's dormitory is on Observatory Ave., north of Mo- sher-Jordan Hall and south of the Observatory. The new building will border Palmer Field on thednorth- east. It will consist of four houses each with a capacity of 125 coeds. Clair W. Ditchy of Detroit has been select- ed asarchitect for the project. The new mens dormitory will be south of the East Quadrangle, bound- ed by E. University, Church and Hill Sts. Like the women's dormitory, it will be divided into four houses. Andrew R. Morison, Detroit archi- tect who designed the East Quad- rangle has drawn plans for the new building. Construction Essential Post-war enrollment demands, Prof. Gram explained, make essential the construction of these added units as soon as possible. When the war ends, hundreds of girls, now living in former fraternity houses will be ousted by the returning veterans who will reclaim these houses. Married couples apartments, itltro- ducing a new concept of the state university's responsibilities to its stu- dents, will be maintained after the veterans demand falls off. New Workshop To Be Planned The first meeting of the consult- ants of the Religious Education Workshop will be held at 3 p. m. EWT (2 p. m. CWT) today in the office of Edward W.

Therchallenge was going unaccepted, latest reports from the raiding U.S. Third Fleet indicated. Waves of the carrier fighters and bombers struck at Tokyo area airfields for at least eight hours Tuesday. A naval spokesman said the assault was the 53rd large scale attack by fast Pacific Fleet Carrier Task Forces on enemy aircraft and shipping installations since Jan. 1, 1944. 1171 - i How to move a house in seven basy parts is the problem of Prof. George B. Brigham of the School of Archi- tecture. The house is the pre-fabricated model house that has been located next to the East Engineering Build- ing on East University since last Sep- tmneber. It has successfully with- stood the weather and now Prof. Brigham is going to find out exactly how difficult it is to move it to a different location and what happens when people actually live inside. Low Cost House Designed as a low cost house on which additions may easily be made. Prof. Brigham hopes to complete the moving job in two days. Three units (which measure eight by 16 feet, Truman Goes ToTig Thre". ABOARD CRUISER IN MID- ATLANTIC WITH PRESIDENT TRUMAN, July 10-(P)-President Truman is en route today to Europe for his first "Big Three" meeting which may shape the course of world affairs for generations. He is traveling in a battle-tested warship. The vessel is part of a two-cruiser task force, under the command of Rear Admiral Allan R. McCann. The presidential party which in- cludes James F. Byrnes, Secretary of State, and Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy, the President's Chief of Staff, will fly from the port of de- barkation to the Berlin area in the big C-54 luxury liner in which Mr. Truman traveled to the United Na- tions conference at San Francisco. Captain James H. Foskett com- mands the ship carrying the presi- dent. The other cruiser is com- manded by Captain Robert L. Boller. Tanned and apparently in tip top physical condition, President Tru- man is cruising toward his first con- ference with Premier Stalin as those of a mill pond in his native Missouri. Wearing a sporty cap cocked jaunt- ily on the side of his head, the Presi- dent seems to feel the peace of his journey may auger well for the out- come of the rendezvous in mid July in Potsdam, on the outskirts of con- quered Berlin. Accident Record for Ann Arbor Broken Local police yesterday reported the first major accident on Ann Arbor streets in two weeks. the maximum width which may bet transported on the public highways) planned to move the other four to- day. The new location for the housei will be on Pontiac Road, just north ofI the city limits. "This is not a test on the speed with which the house can be moved, but rather on the practicability of moving it," Prof. Brigham said. Therefore, special equipment such asJ mobile crane equipment is not being used. Instead the workers are jack- ing up the house on steel barrels by means of long wooden levers. A flat- bottomed truck is then backed under the house and it is freighted away, just as though furniture were being moved instead of the whole house. Immobile Foundation The only part of the house which cannot be moved ,is the foundation. This has already been constructed on the new site at a low cost. Prof. Brig-t ham estimates that the house can be built very cheaply under proposed mass-production methods - approx- imately $950 for the utility unit con- taining bath, kitchen, heating and laundry fixtures and $350 to $450 for the other units.1 This research project which is sponsored by the Office of Produc- tion Research and Development of the War Production Board is known as the "Youtz Unit House."

Halsey'sI trouble-hunting ships six hours after the carrier planes started their sur- prise assault. No Counter Action (Japanese Imperial Headquarters issued a communique through Tokyo radio saying that from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday - 4 p.m. to midnight Monday, U.S. Eastern War Time - about 800 of the carrier planesmhad been counted. But there was no hint of counter action.) The carriers, protected by battle-F ships, cruisers and destroyers, steam- ed contemptuously close to Japan'sp main island of Honshu, Associatedo Press correspondent James Lindley reported from one of the vesselS. No Resistancee He said the first planes took offC from Vice Adm. John S. MCCain's9 carriers, part of Halsey's fleet, at 4 a.m. and that up to 10 a.m. no Japa-c nese planes or ships had come outt to resist the bold attack. Some of the American navy's big-Z gest and best ships were in the strik-c ing task force almost within sight ofc Honshu.c Carver To T alkt Before Men's c Education ClubE Recently returned from Europe1 where he was a civilin aide doing specialized work for the Army, Prof. Harry C. Carver of the mathematics department will address the Men's Education Club at their meeting at 7:15 p. m. EWT (6:15 p. m. CWT) today in the Michigan Union. Members of the Club will meet at 5:45 p. in. EWT (4:45 p. m. CWT) in the Lounge and will proceed to the cafeteria to get their supper and then to a private dining room. Leaving for England in August, 1944, Prof. Carver was attached to the Second Division of the Eighth Air Force commanded by Lt. General James A. Doolittle. His job was to inspect the records of the Second Di- vision's bombing raids over Germany. This included grading the bombing groups, by means of photographs tak- en on the raids, on their accuracy in bombing their particular targets,, and these grades, Prof. Carver said, could make or break a squadron. The groups would wrangle over their averages, he said, and the rival- ry between the squadrons to get the highest average would make the bombing groups work especially hard. The meeting of the Men's Educa- tion Club is open to all men in the summer session. CBS Man To Talk To Speech Group Lee Bland, Supervisor of Net- work Operations for the Columbia Broadcasting System, will address an assembly of the speech depart- ment at 4 p. m. EWT (3 p. m.

Aunt Ruth Wins Genuine Orchid Breakfast Club Honors Mrs. Ruth Buchanan Michigan's "Aunt Ruth" has won another orchid, and this time it is a real one. Every morning a "Good Neighbor" orchid is awarded on "Tom Brenne- man's Breakfast in Hollywood" radio program, broadcast over WXYZ at 11 a. m. and Tuesday the winner was Mrs. Ruth Bacon Buchanan,' known to servicemen and women the world over as "Aunt Ruth." An employee of the University Museum, "Aunt Ruth" has had this coveted title since Pearl Harbor because of her extensive correspondence and her "good will" policy with members of the Armed Services. From June, 1944, to June, 1945, "Aunt Ruth" sent to fighting men 1,756 birthday cards, 1,709 Christmas cards, 2,680 letters, 4,800 r'olls of The Daily, and 364 envelopes containing Daily clippings.

Need for Stimulant Acclaimed by Broadway critics "the wittiest, gayest, most sagacious com- edy to hit Broadway in years, "Blithe Spirit" was written by Mr. Coward in London during the darkest hours of the blitz. 'He said at the time that his choice of a farce as a vehicle was not motivated by his wish to lighten Brit- ain's war gloom with laughter; the land was already full of laughter. Writing a farce was the best way he knew how to match the spirit of gen- uine cheerfulness he found at home. "It isn't merely gallantry," he wrote to his manager, "and putting on a brave face; it's very real and infinitely stimulating. Realizing this particular feeling was more import- ant than anything else. I decided to write a farce."
