Three Members absent
Three of the 23 committee mem-
bers were absent when the vote was
taken-Senators Johnson (R.-Cal.),
1919 foe of the League of Nations,
Shipstead (R.-Minn.) and Murray
(D.-Mont.)
Majority leader Barkley (D.-Ky.)
said the senate will consume all of
next week dealing with the Bretton
Woods world banking plan and other
piees of legislation "so we can clear
the decks for the charter."
World Security Council
The treaty sets up a World Secur-
ity Council of the five major na-
tions, U. S., USSR, Britain, France
and China, and six smaller states
charged with preventing aggression
and employing force if necessary.
The sharpest questioning of the
hearings this week was conducted by
Senator Millikin (R.-Col.) and to-
day he told reporters that the answers
"have reassured me a great deal" in
his attitude toward the whole plan.
Ratification Assured
A poll of the Senate has shown
that ratification by the necessary
two thirds majority is assured.
Committee action followed a last
day of hearings in which ratification
was recommended by a group of pub-
lic figures who frequently disagree on
other issues.
Winding up a week of testimony by
75 witnesses, the Senate foreign re-
lations committee heard approval of
the treaty by William Green, AFL
president; Philip Murray, CIO head;

Williams Cites
Race Problerns
Discrimination To Be
Subject of Talk Monday
"Racism and anti-semitism in
America are a product of economic
conditions, naturally and deliberately
stimulated by industrial leaders of
the north and plantation aristocrats
of the south," said Rev. Claude Wil-
liams in a recent interview.
Rev. Williams will address the In-
ter-Racial Association on the subject
"What Can the Churches Do About
Racial Discrimination?" at 7:30 p.m.
EWT (6:30 p. m. CWT) Monday at
the Michigan Union.
Liberal Groups
He stated "the liberal interfaith
groups are not speaking to America,
as for instance the National Confer-
ence of Christians and Jews. From
deep cushioned chairs, these liberal
leaders make a few most timely and
worthy resolutions, write them in
jawbreaking words, put them on slick
paper and mail them to th liberal
few in the middle class. But this is
not reaching America!"
Rev: Williams said that there had
been a group in America who had
been attempting to reach natural
workaday leaders in order to make
them cognizant of the need for lead-
ership.
As director of the People's Insti-
tute of Applied Religion, it has been
Rev. Williams' goal to combat fascist
trends in the south. Praising the ef-
forts of liberal groups who have aided
his cause, Rev. Williams nevertheless
stated that the weighty job of reach-
ing the masses must not be left un-
done.
Workaday Preachers
"When under the guidance of the
Institute, workaday preachers learn
that the concrete issues of everyday
life are dealt with in scriptures, they
receive it most eagerly and they ex-
pound it to their negihbor," he con-
tinued.

Frankena Says
World ELhieal
Outlook Needed
"The attitude of both youth and
the adult, both today and 2,000 years
from today, should be international,
rather than national," Prof. William
Frankena of the philosophy depart-
ment said last night at the Hillel
Foundation.
Speaking on the topic "An Ethics
for Youth Today," Prof. Frankena
defined a good life as one inspired
by a sense of justice, love and know-
ledge.
We do not realize that other people
feel the same emotions -and experi-
ences which we feel, he asserted, say-
ing that we should understand that
every person is a center of experi-
ence. Because of this, he said, we
should be just to others, rather than
frustrate their desires or impose ours
upon them.
An ethics must command fervor
to combat the enthusiasm which fas-
cism incites, Prof. Frankena contin-
ued. If an ethics can create a re-
birth of righteousness and justice,
then it can combat Fascist ethics, he
concluded.
There will be a meeting for all
students working on the staff of
the Student Directory at 2 p. m.

fice of the Student Publications
Building.
Great German chemical trust, I. G.
Farbenindustrie.
These documents may disclose all
the secrets of the corporation's intri-
cate cartel operations which gave it a
strong hold on many industries in al-
most every part of the world, includ-
ing the United States, and provided
the Nazis with a powerful organiza-
tion for industrial espionage and
sabotage.
Cola Edwin Pillsbury, Berkeley,
Calif., who directed military seizure
last week of 24 Farben plants in the
United States Zone of Occupation,,
said it would require months to piece
together the entire story of Farben
operations and to uncover hidden
stockholdings.
"It is one of the most amazing
stories of modern times," Pillsbury
said. "The manner in which Farben
agents gained control of certain indu-
stries and carried on a role of domi-
nation in the world's chemical in-
dustry is almost unbelievable."
The German war machine would
have collapsed without I. G. Farben-
industrie, Pillsbury said. The investi-
gation already has disclosed that the
combine controlled practically all
German chemical production.

President Says
He'll Make Full
Potsdam Report.
By The Associated Press
ABOARD CRUISER AUGUSTA
WITH PRESIDENT TRUMAN, July
13-President Truman was described
today as firmly resolved against any
secret commitments in the "Big
Three" meeting starting Monday or
Tuesday at Potsdam.
As the presidential cruiser steam-
ed close to Europe, associates of the
Chief Executive said he plans to
report to Congress as soort as he gets
back home from his talks with Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier Sta-
lin.
American Cooperation
The President was understood to be
prepared to offer any reasonable
cooperation toward the rehabilita-
tion of Europe, expecting in return
assurances that the European coun-
tries will work together for adjust-
ment of issues that might carry the
germs of war. He was represented
as feeling that a primary basis of
American policy is readiness to help,
when help would be welcome, in get-
ting its friends together when they
disagree.
Continuous Meetings
Meetings today between Mr. Tru-
man, Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes and Fleet Admiral William D.
Leahy, the President's personal Chief
of Staff, were almost continuous.
Tomorrow has been fixed for the
rendezvous with British warships
which will convoy the president
through British waters.
City May Change To
Central War Time
With reports reaching this city that
Detroit may soon go on Central War
Time, William Brown, mayor of Ann
Arbor said yesterday, "I believe that
if Detroit decides on CWT, we will
follow suit."
"We are so tied up with Detroit,
that it would be unwise to take any
other action," he added.

OWI Funds
Set by House
Republicans; Lose Fight
To Cut Finances in Half
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, July 13- Hogts
Republicans lost a fight to cut the
Office of War Information's funds in
half today as Congress finally passed
a $769,364,850 bill financing U.S. war
agencies.
The OWI issue was settled with
agreement between House and Senate
on $35,000,000 for the agency for the
fiscal year which started July 1. The
Senate originally had voted $39,670,-
215 and house Republicans, charging
OWl with waste, tried in vain to cut
it to $18,000,000.
A House amendment prohibiting
the War Labor Board from taking
jurisdiction over agricultural labor
was accepted by the Senate.
The last-minute flurry over this
item was one of a series which had
kept the bill in controversy for weeks.
And argument on the question
whether the Fair Employment Prac-
tices Committee should be liquidated
died yesterday with an agreement to
give it $250,000. Senate Chavez (D---
Ariz.) described the final language as
not requiring the agency to liquidate.

GUAM, Saturday, July 14-A howling typhoon, ripping through the
Western Pacific at 138 miles an hour, crippled more than 21 ships of Adm.
William F. Halsey's massive Third Fleet as it skirted southern Japan June 5.
Most of the stricken vessels were repaired quickly and participated in
last Tuesday's carrier aircraft sweep against Tokyo although the storm
damage was greater than the enemy had been able to inflict in any single
action.
Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz disclosed this dramatic naval episode
last night, reporting that the damaged ships included four of the navy's

GHOST MADE REALISTIC:
Strauss Heads Make-Up of 'Blithe Spirit'
By MARJORY JACKSON
Ivard Strauss, Technical Director
of the Try-Out Theatre in Seattle,
Washington, supervises the make-up
and art work of "Blithe Spirit" the
last two performances of which will
be given at 2:30 p. m. EWT (1:30
p. m. CWT) and 8:30 p. m. EWT
(7:30 p. m. CWT) today in the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
The make-up of Elvira, the mis-
chevious ghost of Charles Condo-
mine's first wife played by Annette
Chaikin, and that of Dorothy Mur-
zek as his second wife, Strauss
said in an interview, requires special
attention and skill. Instead of the
usual whitish green make-up used
for a ghost, Strauss uses his own
third act in which Miss Murzek be-
comes a member of the spiritual
world, requires a crew of five persons
working simultaneously so that she
will be ready on time, Strauss ex-
plained.
This is Strauss' first season with
the Michigan Repertory Players and
his first stay in Ann Arbor, and he
is "enjoying it very much." Strauss
commented on the excellent construc-
tion of the Lab Theatre which is not-
able for its work-shop and storage
space. It compareshadvantageously
with workshops of other schools and
community theatres, Strauss said. He
remarked on the cleanliness and care
of the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
and its unit facility.
details of interest to the writer are
reported to him. The plays run for
18-24 performances and are sup-
ported by the admissions alone.
The theatre is a community af-
fair in which anyone can try out,
Strauss said. Since many defense
workers have arrived in Seattle,
he noted, they have found recrea-
tion in taking active parts in the
productions. Some work until 2
a. m. and then rise again at 6 a.m.
to get to work.
The casting is done primarily ac-
cording to age, Strauss said, and chil-
dren as young as ten years of age
have held important parts in the
plays.
