LVIII, No. 173 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 1948_ PRICE FIVE CE1tTS Amneicans Fly In Milk, Food Rations To BesiegedBerlin Chuirehidl Warns Against Yielding To Dietators, 'Nazi or Conmnunist' By The Associated Press BERLIN, June 26-The Ameri.cans flew in powdered and canned milk- and promised Army "C" rations for civilians in the Russian1 siege of Berlin today. A Plying Fortress brought medical supplies in the first of several such flights to bring in vitally needed goods to keep the city's economy going. But these were makeshift measures and the British commander called on the Russians to lift theiy week-end food blockade of the three wesftern sectors at once or . New Draft Will Take One Out of . . 'very 38 Eligible All Men Between Ages of 18-25 Required To Register oni August 16 By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, June 26-If you fall within the 19 through 25 age bracket, there's one chance out of 28 that you'll be drafted in the first 12 months. But between 200,000 and 225,000 young Americans should be put- ting their affairs in order-they'll be in uniform by the fall of 1949 and stay there 21 months. Approximately 7,3000,000 others between 18 and 25 should circle the date "August 16" and arrange with the boss to get off a few hours so they can register. Eighteen-year-olds must register, though they . . ',- take the blame for starving 2,000,- 000 Germans. Compared to Munich In England Winston Churchill declared in a speech that the issue was as grave as that raised at Munich 10 years ago and warned against any "yielding to dictators,' S:whether Nazi or Communist." A barge carrying 300 tons of grain for the Berlin population and two trains bringing potatoes reached the city from the west to- day, but there was no indication that the Russians were letting up on their stranglehold. Milk for Babies The American flights bringing in powered and canned milk were far German babies who can get no fresh milk now that the .Rus- sians have stopped the flow from, dairies in their zone. # Official sources said the Amer- ican Air Force beginning Monday would double its flights to Berlin to 100 a day to bring in food and as many other "essential items" as possible. These will carry about 200 tons a day. But American ex- perts declared it would be impos- sible to ring in all the 2,000 to 2,500 tons of food daily needed by western Berlin's population. The U.S. Air Force is already supplying the 10,000 Americans here. New Money Exchanged American, British and French authorities in Frankfurt an- nounced that one new western Deutsche mark will be exchanged for 10 old Reichsmarks in west- ern Germany. Marshal Vassily Sokolovsky, the Soviet commander, has outlawed the Deutsche mark in the Eastern " Zone and in all Berlin, but the western generals were letting the new eastern mark circulate freely in their sectors. G.LsArrIest Soviet Ge neral Drop Speed Charge After Identification BERLIN, June 26-(/P)-Ameri- can soldiers in an armored car and a jeep chased Marshal Vassily D. Sokolovsky, Russian command- er in Germany, for two miles to- night and arrested him for speed- ing. As soon as the Soviet leader was identified his release was ordered and Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. commander in Germany, sent his personal apologies to him. The Soviet official was travel- ing on one of Berlin's super-high- ways, presumably enroute from his office to his villa, when a U.S, constabulary patrol spotted the speeding car. Russian officials use the highway through the U.S. sec- tor to get to their zone from downtown Berlin. An account of the incident said Sokolovsky accompanied by a bodyguard was riding in a deluxe American car. Sokolovsky stepped out of his car and declared, "I'm Marshal Sokolovsky." "This made no impression on the - GI's," .an American officer related, "since they didn't under- Stand Russian."~ Through an interpreter, Sokol- : ovsky said he was "surprised at being stopped because he thought official cars had the right df way," the officer said. Sokolovsky "did- n't seem very pleased about it but he was patient," an officer said. Witiesses Charge Gas Tie-In Sales I UN Med1 citor Talks of TPearce Arab League, Israelis To Consider Advice RHODES, June 26-(IP)-Count Folke Bernadotte is expected to complete his initial suggestions for Palestine peace talks this weekend. Jewish and Arab experts, who are here to give information to the United Nations mediator, plan to leave for Tel Aviv and Cairo Monday. Arab experts said the Count's suggestions probably will be carried by members of his staff who will accompany them. Special Session An Arab source said the sug- gestions will be considered by a special session of the Arab League next week. Other staff members will accompany the returning Jewish experts to Tel Aviv and give the suggestions to Israel gov- ernment chiefs. A member of Bernadotte's staff said his initial suggestions are de- signed to win an agreement from Arab and Jewish leaders to come to Rhodes to discuss permanent settlement of the Palestine ques- tion. With the four-week truce more than half over, it may be the end of next week before Jews and Arabs decide qn peace talks. In that event there would be only one week of the truce remaining. But if agreement is reached to hold a peace conference here, Bernadotte is expected to ask Jew- ish and Arab military forces to extend the truce. Truce Extension If the Count's suggestions for talks are rejected, there seems little likelihood that the Arabs and Jews would agree to a truce extension. Col. Count Thord Bonde, Swed- ish chief United Nations military observer of the truce, arrived here today to confer with Bernadotte, presumably on yesterday's inci- dent in the, southern Palestine desert. Aftdr Egyptian forces stopped a Jewish convoy to Negeb Desert settlements and fired on a truce mission plane, the UN Truce Mission Gold Jewish authorities they were "free to act as they thought fit." The Israeli govern- ment told its general staff to take suitable action in pushing through the convoy. In Tel Aviv, an Israeli army communique reported the Egyp- tian army attacked a Jewish settlement in southern Palestine with small arms fire last night.

Dewey and Earl Warren. But one AFL union, the Inter- national Brotherhood of Teams- ters, promptly rushed in to say that Green was not speaking for it, The Teamsters Union "does not share Mr. Green's views on this matter," declared Lester M. Hunt, director of public relations for the union, which has headquarters at Indianapolis. Open Question Green's announcement w as made to reporters at the White House after he had a 15 minute chat with President Truman. Whether the AFL might sup- port Mr. Truman if he wins the Democratic nomination, was left an open question. Green, a registered Democrat, didn't say. But he did express the opinion that the "Republicans certainly won't get much labor support." Green added that Labor's league for political education, the AFL political adjunct, "will never sup- port the Dewey-Warren ticket.; Only once before, in 1924 when it supported Robert M. LaFollette has the AFL been committed pol- itically as an organization. No Comment Yet Daniel Tobin, president of the Teamsters Union, has left the way open for both the Democrats and the Republicans to seek the sup- port of the union's 1,000,000 claimed members. He said in a statement at Indianapolis last Monday the union won't decide its political course of action until sometime later in the campaign. Several times a delegate to Democratic National Conventions, Tobin won't go this year because he explained, he is "too busy." But he denied that he has quit the party, and said that he has neither opposed nor indorsed any major party candidate. Rieve Critical The United Mine Workers and Old Daily Man NEW YORK, June 26-Gov. Thomas E. Detvey's old news- paper training on the Michigan Daily came in handy today, ac- cording to the Associated Press. The GOP Presidential candi- date and his party stopped in New York for a few minutes the CIO's Political Action Com- mittee were both non-commital today but at least one CIO union leader, Emil Rieve, was critical of Dewey. Rieve, in a talk for the Maine CIO council meeting at Lewiston, said the country's future "will be darker than ever before" unless the 80th Congress is repudiated by the next administration on al- most every domestic issue. "The Republicans have had full control of Congress for two years, but they have done nothing," Rieve said, about such questions as housing, health and education. Directory Put Ou.t in Record Time for S ale This summer edition of the Stu- dent Directory, which will make its appearance on the campus Thursday, will set new records in local publication history. Production time has been cut by more than a week, and the new directory will sell for 75 cents, less than since pre-war years. "Fewer complaints should be re- ceived this year on misspelledI names and wrong numbers, be- cause each of the directory's 168 pages received a double check for accuracy," John Morris, directory editor, said.I A newly-revised faculty section will be included, in addition to the usual listing of students' names, home addresses, local ad- dresses and phone numbers.

September 22 is the earliest date any one can be actually drafted, however. All of this is taking place be- cause Uncle Sam is building up his defenses. In order that the Army, Navy, Marin es and Air Force can be sure of having adequate man- power - 2,005,882 men - Con- gress passed the Draft Bill June 19. It became the law of the land when President Truman signed it in his study June 24. It remains the law for two years. Under the present law, regis- tration of all men 18 through 25 could start right away. But Selec- tive Service officials said it would take about six weeks to organize some 4,000 local draft boards to do the job. Registration should take just a few days. Officials point out that 16,00,00 men registered in one day in the pre-war draft. Then the draft itself comes. But the bill passed by Congress says no one can be drafted until 90 days after the legislation be- comes law. That's September 22. So Sept. 22 is D-Day-Draft Day-for men 19 through 25. Officials figure there are 7,- 500,000 Americans in the draft age group today. With only around 200,000 to be drafted, by the fall of 1949, that's 2.67 per cent, or around one out of 38. During the next two years, how- ever, a maximum of 606,882 men may be inducted. What happens when you're drafted? Well, you're in the Army. You have certain benefits - hospitalization, disability com- pensation, death benefits, and your old job back. But the "rights"dgranted World War II veterans by the GI Bill of Rights do not apply to the peacetime con- scripts. The draft will mean nothing to war veterans who served 90 days in the shooting war between Pearl Harbor (Dec. 7, 1941) and V-J Day (Sept. 2, 1945) or 12 months between Sept. 16, 1940 and June 24, 1948 (the day the bill became law. Doctors and other medical men, regularly ordained ministers, stu- dents studying for the ministry, and conscientious objectors will be exempt, too. Men who were members of the National Guard or an organized drilling reserve unit before mid- night June 24 are exempt. A "sole surviving son" of a fam- ily which lost one or more sons in Saction or insline of duty with the armed forces will be exempt, too. High school students are auto- matically deferred until they graduate or until they reach the age of 20, whichever comes first. College students are deferred for the current academic year. Deferment of the other groups is at the discretion of the President. He also has the nod over men engaged in scientific or medical research and study, and-married men. "' Black Breaks With Forces Of Gov._Siler PORT HURON, Mich., Jue 26-(P)--Attorney General Eu- gene Black's long - anticipated break with Gov. Kim Sigler came today when Black announced he will support another candidate for governor. Black, in an interview with the Port Huron Times-Herald, rapped the Michigan delegation at the Republican National Conventio and said: "Th redeem Michigan's honor, there must indeed be a new and resolute candidate for governor of Michigan. I assuredly shall support him." Black gave no indication as to whom he would support. The Port Huron Republican, who openly declared for Dewey in the recent pre-convention man- euvering among GOP Presidential hopefuls, said he anticipated no reward from Dewey. Clean Up the State "I don't want anything from the Administration if Dewey is elected," Black replied to a, query. He continued, "I am just trying to clean up Michigan' govern- ment." Black, in his interview with the Times-Herald, renewed his feud with some of the top Republican leaders in the state, including Na- tional- Committeeman Arthur E. Summerfield of Flint. Of the recent convention, the attorney general said: 'Not Rtepresentative' "The Michigan delegation did not represent the people of Michi- gan. It represented the wealthy motor car dealers and certain mil- lionaire executives of General Motors and Chrysler who were de- termined to buy their way into the White House. "If the Summerfield-GM crowd had ever succeeded in naming a compromise candidate, we would have seen another Harding Ad- ministration with a weak and aged President absorbed in for- eign affairs as his sponsors plund- ered and pillaged an already vac- illating government. "Sigler in joining the money- blooded hands of Mr. Summer- field, has betrayed his state which may think its stars that he at least is not one of her native sons."
