LIX, No. 35S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 1949 PRICE FIVE CENTS Quake Death Toll Mounts In Ecuador Reports Say 2700 Dead in Ambato By The Associated Press Late reports from inside and outside Ecuador last night said that probably as many as 2,700 persons were killed in Friday's devastating earthquakes. The in- jured ran into many thousands. Direct communication with the stricken area was almost impos- sible, and latest reports of Fri- day's tragedy were being unfolded to the world by radio accounts heard outside Ecuador itself. THE EARTHQUAKE struck at 1 p.m. Friday and continued un- til 1:45 p.m. in a series of six violent shocks. During the longest shock-which lasted 40 seconds- most of Ambato's biggest buildings crashed to the ground. It was Ecuador's worst disaster since colonial times. The entire Ecuadorean cab- inet, except interior minister Salazar Gomez who went to Ambato with President Galo Plaza Lasso, was on 24-hour uduty coordinating relief work. Railway officials said the Yuito- Guayaquil line was blocked by so many landslides it will take a week to reopen it. Twenty-seven slides were reported on one three mile stretch of track. This line, principal freight carrier between Quito and the Pacific Coast, passes through the entire earthquake zone. FLOODS ADDED to the distress in the quake area. Landslides blocked streams which then changed their courses and inun- dated farmlands. The first con- tingents of troops helped to calm panicky Ambato residents when they arrived there this morning. Ambato, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1797, again was a scene of desolation. Great cracks opened in the streets.-Water mains burst and communication lines were ripped apart. Bridges crumbled into bits. Nearly the whole population was left homneless. The Cathedral was destroyed while 50 children were inside tak- ing a catechism lesson. The mili- tary barracks crashed to the ground killing 150 soldiers and in- juring 60 others. Don't Look to Benzedrine For .Exam 'Lift' Studying Still Tops For Harried Students With exams just a few days away, many students are looking for that certain "lift" to help them through. But if you're counting on using the contents of a Benzedrine in- haler, you'd better substitute studying instead. BENZEDRINE inhalers, intend- ed for, use inp roviding relief from head colds and hay fever, are be- ing withdrawn from the market. Some students had discovered that the exhilarating effect of Benzedrine is an aid in keeping them alert through long hours of studying, besides replacing any feelings of depression with one of confidence. Although Benzedrine is compar- atively harmless, misuse may cause convulsions, excessive nerv- ousness, heart trouble symptoms or even effect the user's mental health. Realizing the inherent danger of their product, Smith, Klein and French Laboratories announced last week that they were with- drawing Benzedrine inhalers from the market in favor of a new in- haler containing Benzedrex. THE COMPANY said that Ben- zedrex is just as, or more effec- tive than Benzedrine in a nasal inhaler but at the same time cannot be used for "stimulation purposes." People in search of the stim- ulating effects of Benzedrine ro« 1- .,--_ +h ;-2a. ramnvp My, My! WOMAN LAWYER DEFIES TRADITION - Dorothy Kenyon, corporation lawyer, UN delegate and an old hand at tradition breaking, tries her luck at poking fun at the Union's cloistered custom. And she succeeded, much to the consternation of Union personnel. s * * Woman Defies Union's Closed' Door Tradition Governor of Hawaii Calls End of Strike Proclaims State Of Emergency HONOLULU-(P)-Gov. Ingram M. Stainback yesterday proclaimed a state of emergency in Hawaii's 98-day-old dock strike and called upon the stevedoring industry and the strikers to resume operations. The Governor acted under a law passed early yesterday by the Hawaii legislature in emergency session. Stainback signed the bill yesterday afternoon. The governor said if dock work is not resumed immediately he+ would issue orders "taking posses- sion or any or all stevedoring companies." THE PROCLAMATION was is- sued after a three-hour meeting of the territorial attorney general'sE staff, officials of two Honolulu stevedoring companies and the president of Hawaii Stevedores, Ltd., a non-union firm formed af- ter the strike began 98 days ago. There was no discussion with the CIO International Long- shoremen's and Warehousemen's Union. The Union had an- nounced earlier it would not work for the government. Harry Bridges, ILWU president, declared that "legislation will not load or unload ships." The union furthermore an- nounced it would challenge con- stitutionality of the act as soon as the government made its first move to operate the docks. UNDER TERMS of the law, the Governor must first call on the union and the seven struck companies to resume operations. If advised that they cannot or will not, he then must proclaim an emergency and take over opera- tion of the docks for 180 days or until the strike ends. "We will seek a restraining order, challenge constitutional- ity, and seek to recover any losses suffered, by longshore- - men because of the law," said ILWU President Harry Bridges. Shortly before the Legislature completed passage of the act early yesterday, the approximately 2,000 strikers voted unanimously not to work for the government. * * * BRIDGES, WHO flew to Hon- olulu Friday, said no law of the Hawaiian legislature could force handling of Hawaiian cargoes on the Pacific Coast. Ford Loses Court Decision On Strike Vote DETROIT-()-The Ford Mo- tor Company failed today to ob- tain a court order to halt the holding of a strike vote among its employes at polling places close to headquarters of the CIO Unit- ed Auto Workers. In Lansing, Supreme Court Jus- tice Leland W. Carr denied the company's plea for an order to force the state labor mediation board to change the election setup. * * * THE DECISION meant that the strike vote among Ford's 80,000 employes in Michigan will start Monday as scheduled. The company immediately put full page advertisements in all three Detroit Sunday morning newspapers appealing to the mem- bers of Walter P. Reuther's big union. The ads appeared over the sig- nature of Henry Ford II, and urged the workers to weigh their strike decision carefully. Outlook RACKHAM BUILDING MAY HOUSE 1950 NSA CONGRESS * * Prof. Angell Sees UNESCO Research as Aid to Peace Vandenberg on Urges Fresh China v; The Union nearly fell down yes- terday. It happened in the early after- noon when Dorothy Kenyon, a corporation lawyer and one of the two American women delegates to the United Nations, walked boldly * *~ * Comments on Union Policy Students on campus remained split on the issue of women enter- ing the front door of the Union, according to a Daily survey. Jack Bergstrom, 52E, said tra- ditions such as the sanctity of the Union front door will "lead to moral degeneracy." Another student, who refused to give his name, said: The boy stood on the Union steps Whence all but he had fled. The compacts and the saddle shoes Were whizzing 'round his head. Ten thousand strong, with a battle song, With eyes and cheeks aflame, Marching onward in stout array The women's army came. Women, women everywhere As far as he could see. Women, women everywhere, And he the only he. The days of chivalry were gone; They recked him not a jot; But oh, my friends, they wrecked him, and They downed him on the spot. "Tell the alums," our hero gasped, "How gallantly I tried To keep the door forevermore For menfolk," and he died. They found him a tomb on the basement floor Beyond the coed's ken. All marble it was, and over the door The slogan he died for: "Men." into the front door of the Union and walked boldly out again. * * * AS SHE WENT in, a bellboy timidly approached her and said, "I'm sorry, but women must go through the side door." Miss Kenyon replied, "No spikka English," and swept right on by. She said that she enjoyed this as much or more than the Union people enjoy throwing women out in protecting their tradition. * * * MISS KEYON is an old hand at breaking traditions. She was one of the few women lawyers of her class at New York University and her biggest enjoyment is belittling the "ridiculous tradition" of Har- vard barring women from its law school. As a delegate to the UN Com- mission on the status of women, Miss Kenyon is an upholder of women's rights in any profes- sion, whether it be practicing law or digging ditches, but in some of the heavy jobs, women are not quite physically fit. "Basically, men and women are alike, nothwithstanding the out- side veneer," she said. "Women are certainly fitted for some pro- fessions which take both physical and mental exertions. * * * "A WOMAN is less emotional than a man, and in delicate work they are better adapted by their small hands and more delicate touch." Miss Kenyon staunchly ignor- ed the traditions of "being nice to the weaker sex," such as opening doors and walking on the outside. "I'd . like to see this tradition used in a utilitarian manner, suchj as opening doors for older people, or letting older men, as well as women, sit on buses. By NANCY BYLAN "We've got to learn more than we already know about why na- tions don't get along together." That is how Prof. Robert C. An- gell, chairman of the sociology de- partment, views the importance of the United Nations Educational,i Scientific and Cultural Organi- zation (UNESCON project--on in- ternational tensions.t * * * PROF. ANGELL has been ap- pointed director of the project for a one-year tenure and will leave in September for Paris, where he will make his headquarters.I Fall Football Ducats To Be GivenEarly Football tickets will be distrib- uted during registration week this year because of the early date of the Michigan-MSC game. The game, on Sept. 24, will be at the end of registration week and tickets will be distributed to stu- dents as they pay their fees dur- ing registration. Freshmen, with less than two semester residence, will sit in the north end zone with sophomores (two to four), juniors (four to six) and seniors (six to eight) given progressively better seating up to the east side 50-yard line. Students in the engineering, lit- erary education, music, public health and pharmacy schools must have their transcripts to pick up tickets. Students in the graduate, bus- iness administration, medical, nursing, dental and law schools must pick up their tickets in their respective schools. Distribution is so arranged that students on Wednesday won't get a better deal than those on Fri- day, VanBurgel said. There will be no group seating because of the early distribution, he added. "The project was organized two years ago "to discover through research what are the most promising lines of attack on tension and frictions among nations,"' Prof. Angell explained. There are already 12 to 15 stud- ies in this field being conducted by scholars from all over the world:Some of these have been re- quested by the Economic and So- cial Council, which wants guid- ance material for its work, the professor said. * * * HE STATED that results of the research will be published as they are completed, in hopes that they will "point out" ways in which international friction can be elim- inated. What effect the work of the project will have on Russian- American relations is uncertain, Prof. Angell believed. "American-Soviet tensions are cumulative, and the main differ- ence between the two countries is ideological." * * * "BUT THERE are a great num- ber of other factors which in- creases the tension and which per- haps can be controlled. If we learn how to understand and handle them, we can better rela- tions considerably." Even if we don't get along with Russia, we can still profit to learn how to get along with the rest of the world, he added. Prof. Angell will be the third director of the tensions project, his predecessors being Prof. Had- ley Cantril of Princeton University and Dr. Otto Klineberg of Colum- bia University. He will join the staff in Paris in "initiating and coordinating research projects." The professor stated that he has long been interested in the prob- lems of social integration on the local, national, and international scale. He has written a book on "The Integration of American Society" and has just completed the manu- script of "The Moral Integration of American Cities." SL Wants, NSA Meet Here in '50r By CRAIG WILSONk (Co-Managing Editor) The Student Legislature has asked the National Student Asso- ciation to hold its 1950 Congress here. University administrators have given SL the green light for the Congress to be held Aug. 21-Sept. 1, 1950. * * * THE UNIVERSITY'S delegation will introduce the invitation at this year's Congress, at University of Illinois, Aug. 24 to Sept. 3. Dean of Students Erich A. Walter announced the Univer- sity's approval after confer- ences with vice-president Mar- vin L. Niehuss and business manager of residence halls, Francis Sheil. This is the third year Michigan has sought the Congress, accord- ing to Dick Hooker, chairman of the SL NSA Committee. "ANN ARBOR is an ideal loca- tion-transportation for the more than 1,000 student delegates and educators is excellent, and costs should be reasonable," Hooker said. Plenary sessions will be held in Rackham School of Graduate Studies auditorium, and work- shop sessions in Angell Hall, according to the NSA Commit-+ tee's request to the University. MICHIGAN regional NSA Presi- dent, Harvey Weisberg expressed confidence in the bid. "NSA national officers who have visited the campus are enthusias- tic about Ann Arbor for the loca- tion of the 1950 Congress," he said. Air Fair Today The gigantic Willow Run Air Fair will go through its paces again today from 1:30 to 6 p.m. to amaze spectators by the thou- sands. One of the climaxes of the show will be a landing on the "world's smallest airport," a 15-foot plat- form on a car moving 50 miles an hour. e Policy Tells U.S. To Put Aside Prej udices Senator Speaks On White Paper WASHINGTON - () - Senator Vandenberg, Republican foreign policy leader, said last night that the United States must 'take a fresh look at its China policies and determine its course "unhampered by past prejudices or emotions." Speaking out on the govern- ment's China policy "white paper,"' the Michigan Senator said this country must make "relentlessly clear" its support for the Chinese people and for freedom in the Far East. * * * IN SEVERAL ways Vandenberg's statement coincided with views ex- pressed by Secretary of State Acheson. Acheson, who has abandoned hope of saving China by prop- ping up the Nationalist regime, has before him the problem of shaping a positive new-approach. Vandenberg, top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee, declared that the United States must not accept results of "aggression." He said he did not believe the aggression in China can permanently succeed. Officials believe that Acheson, in the expected three lines of anti - Communist action, may urge aid for any resistance for- es showing signs of a determined. stand against the Communists. Delivery of aid direct to gen- erals in China's unconquered Western provinces thus would be considered possible, offidals sug- gested. THE THREE lines along which policy moves are expected to be ordered are these: 1. Resistance to any threat of aggression by the Chinese Com- munists against China's neigh- bors-such as Burma and French Indo-China. 2. Promotion of political poli- cies among China's neighbors from Korea through Japan and the Philippines around to India which will better living condi- tions of the people and thereby weaken the position of Com- munism working from the in- side. 3. Take advantage of all oppor- tunities to weaken the position of Communism inside China by giv- ing encouragement and, where practical, assistance to any Chi- nese movements aimed at restor- ing the country's independence of Communism. WANTED: Loan Print Help in Fall Interested in art? The Student Legislature has an interesting opportunity for stu- dents willing to do a little picture hanging in the fall. STUDENTS ARE needed to help hang the more than 1,000 student loan prints in Alumni Memorial Hall Sept. 16 and 17, according to Mrs. Eloise Wilkenson. The prints must be hung by them for display to students who wish to borrow them for the semester, Mrs. Wilkinson said.

But some things of interest and some excitement have occured in the good old summer time in Ann Arbor: June 22-University enrollment reaches 8.824. 350 below the record tion of $11,436,315 for the Univer- sity's operating budget for the coming year-more than a million dollars below the sum asked for.
