. . . special welcome
* * *
greets Students
We extend a special welcome
to all students who are pursu-
ing their studies at the Univer-
sity during this summer session.
Your central purpose will be
identified with the work which
you carry on through formal
courses, in the classrooms, lab-
oratories, clinics, and libraries
of the University. However, we
hope that you will also find it
possible to take advantage of
the other educational resources
of the University. The Univer-
sity is a vast depository of sign
nificant things and a veritable
theater of important events.
These things can be made an
important part of your educa-
tional experience this summer.
We suggest that you visit the
museums and the special librar-
ies. You will also find many op-
portunities for the broadening
of your cultural interests
through the lectures, confer-
ences, concerts, and dramatic
programs which are special fea-
tures of the summer session cal-
endar.

Judge Goldsborough
UpholdsPension Plan
WASHINGTON, June 22-()-
Soft coal contract talks began
once more tonight just eight days
before the present work agree-
ment ends.
John L. Lewis and soft coal op-
erators broke up a negotiating
session tonight without comment.
They set another meeting tomor-
row morning.
The lack of comment from
either side on the way the taks
went may indicate progress. At
least the negotiators were smiling
when they left and kthere was no
sign of a new break in the talks.
Lewis and the operators came
together at the suggestion of a
Presidential Board of Inquiry in-
vestigating the dragging dispute.
The new talks followed by a few
hours a sweeping court victory for
Lewis.
Federal Judge T. Alan Golds-
borough had just upheldthe
$100 monthly pension plan that
Lewis wants for aged members
of his United Mine Workers.
The two sides came together
first before the Board itself. This
group was named by President
Truman under the Taft-Hartley
Act to determine by tomorrrow
whether the contract dispute
threatens "national health and
safety." If the board so finds, an
injunction against a strike is re-
garded as likely.
Lewis and operator spokesman
Charles O'Neill both protested to
the Board, headed by Attorney
David L. Cole, that each is willing
to bargain in "good faith" for a
contract to replace the one ex-
piring June 30.
"Okay, show us," the Board said
in effect.
Thereupon, after hot wran-
gling from seats four feet apart
in a steaming hot hotel confer-
ence room where the inquiry
board was holding its meeting,
Lewis and O'Neill agreed to
talks tonight.
Earlier, Lewis told the Board
that the coal miners already are
under two Federal Court injunc-
tions. He said with considerable
confidence that if the government
holds off getting another now he
can bargain out a new agreement
without a complete mine stoppage.
The contract negotiations broke
off a week ago when the operators
walked out saying that Lewis
wouldn't talk contract terms.
O'Neill said Judge Goldsbor-
ough's ruling hasn't changed the
operator's position: That the pen-
sion battle is up to the trustees
once the operators pay their 10-
cent tonnage royalty contributions
to the disputed welfare fund.

SCENE OF BATTLE-This is a view from the front of Convention Hall, in Philadelphia, where dele-
gates to the twenty-fourth Republican National Convention are engaged in the preliminary skir-
mishes that they hope will result in the nomination of the next President of the United States. The
picture was taken just as the Convention opened. Many seats were yet unfilled.

Sigler Says 'Dewey
Blitz Slowing Down'
CONVENTION HALL, Philadel-
phia, June 22-(JP)-Thomas E.
Dewey chalked up a triple, major
break today in the furious fight
for the GOP Presidential nomina-
tion.
1. New York's hard running
Governor persuaded Senator Ed-
ward Martin, Pennsylvania's fa-
vorite son, to pull out of the race.
2. He also persuaded Martin to
nominate him.
3. And arrangements were made
to get Dewey's name in nomina-
tion ahead of all rivals at the Re-
publican National Convention to-
morrow.
The Senator has been the "fa-
vorite son" candidate of 72 of the
73 Pennsylvania delegates. The
other planned to vote for Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan on the
first ballot.
Martin himself said he had no
idea of how much of the delega-
tion, second largest in the con-
vention, he could carry with
him into the Dewey camp.
But even if he could control
only a handful, there was no
discounting the psychological
impact of his maneuver.
Dewey headquarters had prom-
ised a "sensational" development
within 24 hours. Martin supplied
it.
Dewey's forces arranged for
their man's name to be placed in
nomination first. Taft was to be
the second man nominated, ac-
cording to present plans.

Struggle
Resumed

The Phoenix Project - living
memorial for University of Michi-
gan War dead-is gathering mo-
mentum.
Overwhelming support for the
project was voiced at the recent
alumni reunion held in Ann A-
bor. Sorme former Michigan stu-

dents even dug into their jeans
and turned over unsolicited con-
tributions to the project commit-
tee.
Need $2 Million
It is estimated that $2,000,000
will be needed to get the project
well under way into its first stage.

Daily Calls Out New Talent;
Meeting Will Be Held Today

Eventually it is hoped that $25,-
000,000 will be raised to finance
the memorial.
Fred Smith, New York business-
man who conceived the idea of a
living war memorial devoted to re-
search in the peacetime utilization
of atomic energy, has expressed
the hope that the burden of rais-
ing funds will be eagerly shoul-
dered by Michigan students them-
selves.
'Need the Will'
"In an interview with The Daily,
he said, "the techniques of getting
money are simple and easy to
learn. What is needed only is the
will to achieve.

writers and artists are requested
to submit samples of their work.
Personnel on the business staff
will handle layout design, copy
reading, salesmanship accounting

Sports staff tryouts will gain
experience in covering local sports
events, I-M tournaments editing
Associated Press sports news and
sports page make-up.

Students are needed for wo-
men's staff to cover the functions
of the League Council, women's
sports events, and dances. Wo-
men interested in writing columns
directed at the married popula-
tion on campus are especially
needed.
U' Summer
Figures Given
With registration reports not
yet complete latest figures indi-
cated that 9,175 students en-
rolled for the summer session.
The number is less than the
enrollment figure for last sum-
mer, which stood at 9,642 just
prior to the opening of classes.
In releasing the tentative en-
rollment figures, Registrar Ira
M. Smith pointed out that the
total did not include final reports
from all of the five summer
camps.
The campus total will also in-
crease during the first week of
classes, he said. Late registration
is permitted because many school
teachers who attend did not
complete teaching duties in time
for them for regular registration.
Undergraduate enrollment was
somewhat less than expected,
while graduate registration ex-
ceeded expected figures.

In an interview with The Daily,
Michigan students will go all out
in their efforts to put across the
Phoenix Project," he added.
The project, which will be
worldwide in scope, will perform
four functions.
Rotunda
First, a memorial rotunda will
be erected in Ann Arbor contain-
ing the names of the 558 Michigan
alumni, students and faculty
members who were killed in
World War I.
Backing the rotunda will be lab-
oratories where scientists will seek
applications for atomic energy in
the fields of medicine and biology.
Other scientists will do research
on the sociological and psychologi-
cal effects of atomic energy on our
civilization.
No Other Group
It is emphasized that no other
agency in America today is at-
tacking this particular problem.
The project will maintain a
clearing house for knowledge
gained in the research of peace-
time uses for atomic energy. Sci-
entists from all over the world will
be invited to contribute to this
pool.
Publish Facts
Lastly, the project plans to clas-
sify and publish this compendium
of atomic knowledge. Authorized
scientists will have access to this
nformation.

Taft-Stassen Move*...
Senator Taft of Ohio conferred
secretly with Harold E. Stassen
tonight amid strong indications
that a Taft-Stassen-Warren coal-
ition was being sought to stop
Thomas E. Dewey.
Nobody would say, up to mid-
night (EDT) what happened at
the Taft-Stassen meeting.
Reports of a possible Taft-
Stassen alliance came from
sources close to both men several
hours earlier althoubh both candi-
dates had scoffed at the effect of
the Dewey-Martin combination on
their own chances.
These sources said Taft and
Stassen might meet during the
night in an effort do offset Mar-
tin's announcement that he
would step aside as Pennsyl-
vania's first ballot choice and
nominate Dewey himself.
A Taft-for-President and Stas-
sen-for-Vice-President ticket was
proposed publicly yesterday by
Col. Robert R. McCormick, pub-
lisher of the Chicago Tribune.
Stassen said at the time that he
still was shooting for the Pres-
idency and expected to make it.

DAILY ON-THE-SCENE REPORT:
GOP Campaigners Stage Huge Convention Shows

Other Camps ...
Governor Kim Sigler, of Mich-
igan, called Martin's move "a great
break" for Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg, a sign that the Dewey
"blitz is slowing down."
Taft's campaign manager, Rep.
Clarence J. Brown, said in a state-
ment that the convention now has
seen "the height of the New York
Governor's blitz."
He said Dewey had been com-
pelled to draw on his "last re-
serve" and "now must be nomi-
nated on the first ballot or not
at all."
Yet Senator Styles Bridges,
of New Hampshire, told report-
ers he "wouldn't think" Mar-
tin's action was enough to start
a Dewey bandwagon. Bridges
called it "important but not de-
cisive." He said it shows "Dewey
has decided to push everything
he's got early."
The Pennsylvania break failed
to stampede neighboring New Jer-
sey. Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll told
reporters the state still would
