LVII, No. 2S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1947 PRICE FIVE CENTS New Support Won For Tax Slashing Bill Democriats Back Revised Measure By' The Associated Press WASHINGTON, June 25-Pow- erful Democratic support was thrown today behind a Republi- can drive to reenact the vetoed $4,000,000,000 tax slashing bill, with the cuts effective next Jan- uary 1 instead of next week. Senator Byrd (Dem., Va.), who opposed the original bill, issued a statement declaring that tax re- duction effective January 1 can pass even over another veto, if thie GOP' majority establishes a ceil- ing on federal spending and con- tinues to cut expenditures. The Virginian raised doubt that President Truman would veto the bill with the effective date chang- ed to next year. George Supports Bill Senator George (Dem., Ga.), who voted for the previous bill but supported the veto, threw his sup- port behind the new bill by Chair- man Knutson (Rep., Minn.) of the House ways and means com- mittee. One influential Democrat said privately that a check of. some Democratic Senators indicated enough would shift from their op- position to the first bill to over- ride any veto of 1ie new measure. House Speaker Martin (Rep., Mass.) already has said it is cer- tain the House could overthrow a second veto. The House sustain- ed the President's veto last week by only two votes. Foresees Little Opposition Senator Johnson (Dem., Colo.), opponent of the original bill, told reporters he would support the new measure and predicted it would not have "too serious op- position" if it comes to the Sen- ate floor. "I like the January 1 effective date," he said. However, Senator Taft (Rep., 0.) discounted the possibility of further action on tax-cutting leg- islation before Congress adjourns next month. He said he has not changed his opinion that the tax measure is dead for this session. He added that in a talk with Speaker Mar- tin he "rather got the impression" that the bill was reintroduced "just so it will be there as the Republican program." AVC Delegates Shun Factions At Convention Delegates from the campus chapter of AVC to the organiza- n's national convention at Mil- wukee last week voted solidly for a platform and candidates disas- sociated with either the left or right factions in AVC, it was dis- closed last night at the chapter's first meeting of the summer ses- sion. Lorne Cook, chairman of the chapter and one of its ten dele- gates to the convention, declared that the chapter had refused to line up with either organized fac- tion for fear of further internal strife in the organization. (At the convention held from June 19 to 22, attended by 1,310 delegates, Chat Paterson and Richard Bolling, representing the . " right" faction of AVG. were elcted to the positions of at al chairman and vice-chairman. respectively, by substantial ma- jorities.) "We were out to protest or- ganized factionalism, and we re- fused to go along with any whose election would meet with bitter- ness on the part of the 'other side," Cook said. "Our middle point of view met with support of delegates casting ballots in be- half of 10,000 of the 60,000 mem- bers represented." Cook worked with a steering commictee at the convention, led by Michael Straight, publisher of the New Republic, who accom- panied Henry Wallace on his re - cent visit to the University. The committee constituted a' caucus for the "middle" point of view. (Straight, not a candidate for chairman, was elected however, Steel Mills Cut Production As 217,000 Miners Join Walkout; Daily-Lmnanian REGISTRATION HEAVEN-Here is the longest line that could be found at registration for the Sum- mer Session, which appeared to be a welcome treat for students usually accustomed to endless wait- ing during regular semesters. MarriedVets May Apply for TU' Apartment No Vacancies Now,; WaitingListto Reopen The waiting list for residence in the University Terrace Apart- ments will be re-opened to mar- ried veterans of World War II Monday for three days.

Prof. C. Gilbert Wi'enn of the department of educational psy- chology at the University of Minnesota will deliver the intro- ductory address on "The Guid- ance Movement." He will thus in- itiate a meeting at which more than a score of educators, tech- nicians and psychologists from many parts of the country will thrash out the question of adjust- ment by means of discussions and demonstrations. The conference is sponsoi'ed by the Bureau of Psychological Ser- vices and the Institute for Human Adjustment. The meetings, which are open to the general public, will include a demonstration of "visible speech" and the "electronic pencil," the latest advances in teaching the deaf to speak by sight and the blind to read by sound. Conducted by Prof. George Kopp of the Uni- versity's speech department, and Woodrow Morris, of the Bureau of Psychological Services, the demon- strations will be held at 8:15 p.m. today in the Rackham Building. The second session at 2 p.m. to- day, which will concern itself with the question of measuring adjust- ment, will feature addresses- by Prof. Percival M. Symonds of Col- umbia University, Prof. Harold A. Edgerton of Ohio State University, Prof. Max L. Hutt of the Univer- sity of Michigan and Wilma T.

Prof. Tilley, though he retired from the University in 1946 after a 40-year tenure, had remained active in the Dunworkin club, an organization of University faculty and other members who have con- tinued their activities along .spe- cial lines after passing the emeri- tus age., He had been engaged in a fin-1 al pre-publication editing of "AI Dictionary of Proverbs in Eng- land," a monumental work with which he had been occupied for the past twenty years. The "Dictionary of Proverbs" covers the period from 1500 to 1700 encompassing writings of' Elizabethans in g e n e r a 1 and Shakespeare in particular, the phases of English with which Prof. Tilley was most concerned. The book, arranged alphabetically ac-' cording to catch words, includes as well, some of the proverbial' works of Benjamin Franklin,' which Prof. Tilley found to be in the tradition of English proverbs.' Prof. Tilley received his doctor's degree at the University of Leip- zig in 1902 after having received both his A.B. and A.M. from the University of Virginia. Return- ing from Germany, he became a member of the English depart- ment of Syracuse University, where he remained for four years. In 1906, he came to Ann Arbor as an assistant professor. In 1912 he became junior professor, in 1915, associate professor and from 1918 till his retirement in 1946, he was a full professor. Koos Praises junior Col lege New Four Year Plan hepfultocomni unity The new four year junior col- lege is the most effective and econ- nomical way to bring the advan- tages of the junior high school and the junior college to the commun- ity, according to Prof. L. V. Koos, who opened the School of Educa- tion's summer lecture series yes- terday. Dr. Koos, who is Professor of Secondary Education at the Uni- versity of Chicago, spoke on "The Rise of the People's College." He traced the development of junior colleges which he said have been known as "the people's colleges" since 1875. This title was applied by William Watts Folwell, first president of the University of Minnesota, some 20 years before anyone had thought to use the name "junior college." Prof. Koos discussed the three types of junior college organiza- tion but emphasized the new trend which is known as the "six-four- four" plan. Under this system the last two years of high school are combined into a four-year unit which includes grades 11 to 14. A four year junior high school and six year elementary school are usually used in conjunction with this plan, Dr. Koos said. Sigler Sins State !'"!. - .-- F-- -- " 07 Balkans Three Power Pars Parlei Opens Friday Russia To Join Talk 'On Europe Recovery Rv The Associated Pres LONDON, June 25-The Mar- shall plan for European recovery evoked favorable reaction in Ro- mania, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria today, in the wake of Russia's agreement to discuss the matter with Britain and France at a conference open- ing in Paris Friday. However, the Moscow newspaper Pravda warned that no self-res- pecting European nation could accept United States economic aid if it meant American "interfer- ence" in its internal affairs, and French Communist leader Maur- ice Thorez said the Marshall Plan appeared to be aimed at creating a western bloc of nations "which would cut Europe in two." A high British government source said American and British representatives, now conducting talks o the proposal, generally felt "endouragement" at the res- ponse by European governments, and particularly at Russia's de- cision tho attend the Paris confer- ence. Meet Wi h Attlee William L. Clayton, U.S. Under- secretary of State for Economic Affairs, and Ambassador Lewis W. Douglas met at dinner tonight with Prime Minister Attlee and his , topmost advisers, at No. 10 Downing Street. This was the third time in two days that the two Americans had exchanged ideas on the Marshall proposal and other aspects of Eur- opean economy with Attlee, For- eign Secretary Ernest Bevin, Chancellor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton and Sir Stafford Cripps. The Britons told Clayton they would ask the Paris Conference to set up a central committee to dir- ect overall operations of the re- covery program, and "functional" subcommittees to assess contin- ental needs in the way of steel, coal, agriculture, transportation and possibly food and relief. Newspapers Optimistic Newspapers in many Russian satellite countries appeared op- timistic about the three-power conference, and even the Pravda article gave evidence of great Russian interest. The Bucharest leftist newspa- per Timpul said "if agreement is reached, fear that the continent could be divided into two antagon- istic blocs would disappear as would all accusations of domina- tion and expansion that have hin- dered hitherto loyal cooperation between the east and the west." Czechs Ask Agreement Much the same note was sound- ed by the Prague Social Demo- crat newspaper Pravo Lidu, which asserted that "it is definitely the desire of the Czechoslovak gov- ernment that agreement be reach- ed on this matter." A government committee was set up to study the Marshall plan. The government bloc newspaper Izgrev in Sofia, said Bulgaria looks "with sympathy" toward the pro- posal. Favor U.S. Question: "And you don't think there is any offer of United States assistance in Sec- retary Marshall's speech on the subject?" Snyder: "No more than we have had evidence of all along." Asked about this exchange, State Department officials observ- ed strict silence. Some feeling was evident among diplomats, how- ever, that Snyder's exclusive em- phasis on European self-help might be interpreted abroad as meaning that he disagreed with the other facet of the Marshall' Plan: United States assistance. There was some fear among these diplomats that the Snyder' remarks might torpedo the Paris conference at which Foreign Min- isters Molotov, Bevin and Bidault will discuss economic planning for Europe. The conference opens Friday. Late today, Snyder issued.this statement: "In my press conference this morning, in response to ques- tions regarding the implications of Secretary Marshall's address at Harvard, I indicated that we had had evidence for some time that U.S. assistance might be required in the reconstruction of Europe. "As SecretaryhMarshall indicat- ed in his speech, before the U.S. Government can proceed much further in its efforts to lend as- sistance to the situation in Europe and help the European w~,orld on its way to recovery, there must be some agreement among the coun- tries of Europe as to their essen- tial requirements and the part which they will play in providing such assistance and forming an appropriate basis for whatever as- sistance might be requested of the U.S. Government. Meanwhile, Marshall, during his own news conference today, said he had no plans to assign an ob- server to the Paris conference. He declined to amplify the sug- gestions of his Harvard speech, but when a reporter referred to them as "your proposal" the sec- retary interrupted him to say "it was a proposal of the government" -thereby attributing to the plan the full backing of the Truman Administration. Marshall and the State De- partment, while obviously await- ing with keen interest evidence from Paris as to whether Russia will participate in the European program, took several new eco- nomic and political actions to bol- ster non-Communist Europe and oppose Communist tactics else- where. Rep. Hartley Blasts Coal Mine Leader WASHINGTON, June 26-('P)- Rep. Hartley (Rep., N.J.) today called John L. Lewis a "rebellious and mutinous citizen" and de- clared that the new labor law will be strengthened to deal with him and a coal strike, if necessary. Hartley is chairman of the House Labor Committee and co- author of the new Hartley-Taft Act designed to curb strikes and other union activities. Calls Lewis Mutinous "For my own part," he said in a statement, "I look upon John L. Lewis as a rebellious and mutin- ous citizen, a man who hasre- fused time and time again to ac- cept the authority of government except on his own terms." Hartley said that because of the attitude he ascribed to Lewis, "other leadersofrorganized labor are showing signs of that same re- bellious activity." He added: Unhealthy Situation "The reaction of organized la- bor to the enactment of the new labor law indicates a most un- healthy situation in our economy." Hartley rejected the idea of continuing the government's war- -BULLE TIN- The number of strike idle neared 250,400 early Thursday as the vanguard of some 40,000 shipyard workers of the Beth- lehem Steel Company began leaving their jobs at 12:01. a.m. (CDT) in nine east coast yards. time power to seize struck plants and industries as a means of cop- ing, with Lewis. Rep. . Howard Smith (Dem., Va.) has proposed this. That step, Hartley said, would be another in a long series of sur- renders to Lewis. New Provisions Possible If the new Taft-Hartley law isn't enough, he said, he will in- troduce provisions of the labor bill as originally passed by the House which would outlaw a "monopolistic strike." They were knocked out of the bill in working out a compromise with the Senate. They were in large part aimed at Lewis and his mine workers un- ion. No Disagreement With Marshall, Snyder Says States Europe Must Make Self-Inventory Before United States Can Proceed Further By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, June 25-Secretary of the Treasury Snyder has- tened to disclaim any disagreement with the Marshall Plan for Europ- ean recovery tonight after remarks he had made at a new .conference earlier raised speculation about a split in the Truman cabinet. At Snyder's new conference today, the following exchange took place: Question by reporter: "Don't you understand Secretary Marshall's speech to mean that he is inviting them (other nations) to come to us with an application for such relief as is necessary?" Snyder: "By no means. My interpretation is that he is asking them to make a self-inventory and see what they can do for them- selves." Youngstown Area Receives Major Setback "Strikes Protest Taft- Hartley Labor Bill By The Associated Press PITTSBURGH, June 26 - The number of soft coal miners idle in pre-vacation walkouts rose to over 217,000 today, and some steel mills, low on fuel supplies, started production cutbacks. The coal mines administration reported 61,000 of Pennsylvania's 100,000 bituminous miners had quit work, costing the big coal state 324,000 tons daily. In addi- tion, 3,200 anthracite miners walk- ed out in eastern Pennsylvania. The CMA said work resumption efforts by United Mine Workers officials drew 3,000 to 4,000 men back to pits in West Virginia, but new walkouts swlled the total of idle to more than 48,800 in the Mountain State. Nine of 43 Harlan County, Ky., mines reopened without explana- tion, leaving the idle in Kentucky at 30,000 to 35,000. Idle miners by states: Pennsyl- vania, 64,200 (includes 3,200 an- thracite miners); West Virginia, 48,800; Kentucky, 30,000 to 35,000; Illinois, 18,000; Alabama, all 20,000 out; Virginia, 11,000; Tennessee, 5000; Ohio 10,933; Indiana, 6,527; Utah, 1,500. More Than Half The total of idle represented more than one-half 'the nation's 400,000 bituminous miners, who variousyW explained the walkouts as protests against the Taft-Hart ley Labor Bill and "head starts . on miners' 10-day vacations start- ing this Friday night. Vacation payments of $100 were being made, at some Pennsylvania mines today. Miners Protest Miners in the Uniontown, Pa., metallurgical coal fields hotly termed the nation's new labor law a "union-busting act." "Butch" Eennis, a cutter, added that "they think this will bust the union wide open." On the operators' side, I. W. Rouser, president of the Alabama Mining Institute called the walk- outs "an uprising against the law of the land." Cutbacks Announced Steel cutbacks were announced at three centers of the industry, with the equivalent of 10/2 blast furnaces being banked. The Youngstown, O., area received the heaviest setback because of low coal stockpiles. The Youngstown Sh'eet and Tube Company shut off six blast furnaces at Youngstown and Chi- cago, plus nine open hearths at Youngstown. The Carnegie-Illin- ois Steel Corp. shut down the equivalent of 4/ blast furnaces in pits Pittsburgh area mills. Regents Table MYDA Letter The Board of Regents voted June 11 to table, a request by MYDA President Harriet Ratner asking reinstatement of MYDA "as a campus organization." In a letter to theBoard, Miss Ratner reiterated that "no specif- ic charges" were levelled against MYDA and that it was "not given a fair and open hearing." The letter also quoted parts of a resolution passed by the state- wide Academic Freedom Confer- ence which asked that AYD "be re-instated upon the campuses where it has been banned. Miss Ratner's letter was refer- red to Regent Vera B. Baits, chair- man of the Committee on Univer- sity Relations, who presented it to the members of the Board at the meeting.

Smith, associate professor of physics. Object of the study is to test the effect of shock waves when they strike an object at varying angles. Results of such tests are gases may be forced under pres- sure. When the desired amount of air pressure has been achieved in this chamber, a plunger is used, to pierce the cellophane. - The com- pressed air then explodes through the partition, sending a shock wave the length of the second sec- tion of the tube, Dr. Smith ex- plains. At the end of the tube, a metal plate has been inserted on a ro- Although developed for use in the study of shock waves, this equipment may also have poten- tialities for use as a wind tunnel in aeronautical research, Dr. Smith says. .Sufficient pressure in the compression chamber would cause the air, when released, o travel through the second cham- ber at a supersonic speed. This is precisely what happens in a wind tunnel, Dr. Smith adds, except that wind tunnels are
