5 SENATOR GRAIHAM' S DEFEAT See Page 2 C, r Latest Deadline in the State Paii4il FAIR AND COOLER VOL. LX, No. 4-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1950 FOUR PAGES Im * * * Senate OK's Aid Program' To Anti-Reds, Korean Conflict Spurs 66-0 Vote WASHINGTON - (P) - In a rare display of unanimity the Sen- ate yesterday approved, 66 to 0, a $1,222,500,000 program to arm na- tions resisting Communism, in- cluding South Korea. Republicans who have heatedly assailed administration methods of defending the free world against aggression suddenly closed ranks behind the bill, impelled by the Korean crisis. THE LEGISLATION now goes to 'the House. It is an authorization measure which requires separate action to finance it. Although the bulk of the funds, $1,000,000,000, would go to strengthen North Atlantic Treaty allies, Senator Connally, (D-Tex.) voiced assurance that "the bill contains plenty of funds for Korea." Connally, chairman of the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committee, said that the bill's $16,000,000 ear- marked for Korea and the Phillip- pines could be increased at any time by a shift of funds. * * * HE ASKED the Senate to reject an amendment of Senator Cain (R-Wash.) which would have left open the figure for Korea so that it could be. increased later. The Senate rejected the amendment by voice vote. Senate leaders had not ex- pected much opposition to the measure-perhaps a dozen votes -in view of the sudden turn of world events. But one after another some of the most out- spoken GOP critics of the ad- ministration fell into line. The bill represents the second year of arms aid, mostly going to Europe to discourage any aggres- sive ideas Russia might have. Be- sides $1,000,000,000 cash, The At- lantic nations would get $250,000,- 000 in equipment. The bill also carries $131,500,000 for Turkey, Greece and Iran, and $75,000,000 fr the general area of China. There is provision for sale or do- nation of arms to other nations whose security the President con- siders vital to American defense. Senator Taft of Ohio, Republi- can policy leader who had opposed the Truman arms aid program, told the Senate he was voting for the bill although he is against the general idea of arming foreign nations at heavy expense. * * * Prof. Bromage Heads Local SCivil Defense Prof. Arthur W. Bromage, of the political science department, has been appointed by Mayor Wil- liam E. Brown as director of ci- vilian defense for Ann Arbor. The appointment was made on the request of Gov. G. Mennen Williams, who asked the mayors of 44 Michigan cities to make de- fense director appointments "in view of the advisability of acceler- ating civil defense preparedness," in relation to the South Korean invasion. PROF. BROMAGE issued a statement calling for the "ener- gies and patriotism of loyal Amer- icans to perform specific tasks as they arise." He will attend an organiza- tional "meeting of the defense heads next Thursday in Lan- sing. State Police Commissioner Donald S. Leonaird has been named state commander. Prof. Bromage said of his ap- pointment: "Our first task, as I see it, well be to bring about a greater degree of coordination be- tween police, fire and public util- 4+reautinhen ss, uMeaie Fund Cut Called. Blow by Wiliams Governor Terms Drop in Medical Enrollment 'Terribly Disappointing' By BARNES CONNABLE "The failure of the State Legislature to provide adequate funds for the University's medical school is a serious blow which may en-7 danger the future of the University for some time," Governor G. Mennen Williams told The Daily last night. Gov. Williams added that it is "terribly disappointing to note the small size of next year's freshman class in the medical school." "I RECEIVE LETTERS every day," he said, "from people desirous of attaining entrance into the University's medical school." The Gov- ernor said that many of them * * were well-qualified candidates who were not accepted because of lack of facilities. Gov. Williams asserted that when the next Legislature con- venes, he hopes to see adequate financial aid "pushed through speedily rather than by piece- meal." "I have had the feeling for some time," he said, "that many members of the University's staff have been hanging on by their eye-teeth for a long time." " * * * THE GOVERNOR stated that if * * * Old AgeAid Inadequate -Williams "I know from experience that old age assistance in Michigan is sad- ly inadequate for present needs," Gov. G. Mennen Williams said last night. Addressing the final session of the University's Institute on Liv- ing in the Later Years, Gov. Wil- liams asserted that Michigan has gone only a small way toward pro- viding a sound program for care of the aged. *a * * "WE IN MICHIGAN are very singular in one particular phase of old age assistance," the Demo- cratic governor said. He called the condition resulting from the preservation of the "lien act" a "barbarous situation." This law, Gov. Williams ex- plained, provides that the state has a lien on property owned by people benefiting from old age government allowances. "I have fought a war against this law for some time," Michi- gan's chief executive stated. He said that by refusing to do away with the "lien act," Michigan has "created a psychological barrier of great proportions." * * * THE GOVERNOR added that "part of this lag in Michigan's fulfillment of an adequate plan for old age assistance is a refu- sal to recognize responsibilities which we have in a measure ac- cepted." "In a sense," he stated, "cul- tures should be judged by their treatment of the aged. In the his- tory of the world, it has been maturity and experience which have tempered and directed the aggressive, youthful spirit which has created great civilizations." Egypt Fails To Back UN Korea Stand U.S. Supported By 32 Nations LAKE SUCCESS-(P)-Thirty- two countries have lined up in support of American-led military measures under United Nations auspices to save South Korea, the Security Council was advised yes- terday. There was one flaw in the otherwise solid lineup of non- Communist nations offering ma- terial and moral support. EGYPT told the Council she would not accept the Council's resolution of Tuesday night en- dorsing American intervention in Korea and asking other nations to contribute their support. Egyptian delegate Mahmound Fawzi Bey said his government regarded the Korean conflict as just one more divergence be- tween the East and West. He also told the Council it had not acted in the past to stop ter- ritorial grabs or aggression against peoples. This was an apparent ref- erence to the Council actionson the Palestine war, which the Council ended with cease-fire or- ders and truce negotiations. * ,. ,, THE 32 COUNTRIES joining the fight are the 21 American re- publics, which made their deci- sion in the Council of the Or- ganization of American States in Washington; Britain, Canada, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Nationalist China, India, Belgium, Australia, The Philippines, Tur- key and Pakistan.1 Council members privately1 discussed arrangements for co- ordinating the war effort out- side the range of on-the-spot decisions being made by General MacArthur. Delegates said there was no in- tention of trying to take militaryi authority from General MacAr- thur but that there should be some sort of coordination here. It was said the Council might set up a committee of representa- tives of countries that actually send men, planes and ships against North Korea. Within this group there would be a small- high-level sub-committee with extraordinary political powers granted by the Council. Crash Victims' Bodies Found, Reports Say SOUTH HAVEN, Mich - () - The Coast Guard reported yester- day finding the mangled bodies of two wbmen on the shore of Lake Michigan. They are believed to have been victims of the crash of a Northwest Airlines passenger plane early last Saturday. Previous discoveries of chunks of human flesh and debris ind- cated the plane plunged into the lake about 10 miles due west of this city. An electrical storm was raging at the time. It was the worst disaster in commercial U.S. aviation history. The plane carried 55 passengers, including 28 women, and three crewmen. All perished. A COAST GUARD patrol found the two bodies on the beach late yesterday. One was decapitated, both were legless, and the right arms of both were missing. Officials attempted to identify the bodies through finger prints and rings. One had both an en- gagement and a wedding ring. The other had a wedding ring.

MENNEN WILLIAMS .calls for more U' funds * * * they did not receive financial re- cognition soon, the University may lose "many of the men which have contributed immensely to its pre- eminence." Asked about the forthcoming state legislature elections, Gov. Williams predicted that the Demo- crats "may very well take at least one house." "Of the House seats contested by the Democrats in the last elec- tion, a majority of them were won by the party," he said. "This time we will contest the other 24 seats," he added. The University has become in- volved in two minor labor "dis- putes" involving its employes, butl both cases appear to be on the way to peaceful settlement. Some 900 maintenance workers, walked off their jobs early yester- day in a three and a half hour work stoppage protesting the Uni- versity's failure to include wage increases for them in the 1950- 51 budget. The men returned to work after University spokesmen agreed to consider the matter during the next week. * * * THE SECOND DISPUTE involv- ed Romeo Mazzuco, University Hospital cook discharged last month, who has rallied the local hospital employees' union and the Michigan Labor Madiation Board in an effort to secure his reenstate- ment. Mazzuco told The Daily last night that the day after he had attended an organizational meet- ing for hospital workers of the University Employees' Union, AFL, he was discharged "with- ont explanation." Fince then he has been working for reenstatement, and declared that the Mediation Board will meet next Thursday at the Union to consider his case. *' * * DR. A. C. KERLIKOWSKE, Uni- versity Hospital Director, said that. Mazzuco was discharged because of "unsatisfactory work." He was not able to get along with the dietitians at the hospital kitchen," Dr. Kerlikowske said. He added that he had not heard about the impending Med- iation Board meeting. Although Mazzuco is at present unemployed, he sai dthat he could get good employment, but refused because he would miss the pension he claims from his 26 years service at the hospital, Mazzuco said that the University offered him other jobs on campus, but that he also refused these to protect his fellow hospital workers whom he helped to organize, and who are still members of the union. * * ,* IN YESTERDAY'S wage dispute, those involved included electri- cians, plumbers, carpenters, truck drivers, janitors and laborers. Harold Dapprich, acmember of the employes' committee which met with Plant Superin- tendent Walter Roth and other officials, said no union was in- volved and that the work stop- page was not intended to be a strike. He and other workers indicated that they would walk out again next Thursday or Friday if agree- ment was not reached on wages by that time. Officials pointed out that all non-academic hourly-rated per- sonnel were being given pay for six holidays for the first time this year. House Authorizes Bigger Air Force WASHING TO N-( P)-The House completed Congressional action today on a bill authorizing a combat air force of 70 groups - if and when the money is pro- vided. A voice vote in the House sent the measure to President Truman who has been insisting that the nation cannot afford any larger airforce than it now has - about 48 combat groups.j The legislation, passed Thurs- day by the Senate, sets top limits on manpower and aircraft for the armed forces. Actual strength is determined, however, by t h e amount of money Congress pro- vided. bridges 25 to 30 miles north of Taejon. That temporary South Korean capital is 70 miles south of Su- won, where the defense previous-1 ly had been aligned. GENERAL CHURCH said at least one full Ameircan division would go into combat in the South and would - with South Korean help - undertake to drive the Northerners back north of the 38th parallel boundary. E Asked what would happen ifr the Russians come to the North-C erners' aid, Church replied: "Ifs the Russkies come down, we'll3 fight the Russkies.", The Southerners virtually quit fighting about 3 p.m. yesterday. The Han River just ouside Seoul was breached in several places.k One column of 50 Northern trucks pushed south.t RELIABLE SOURCES said thej South Koreans refused to mine the roads in order to block the Red advance and walked awayt from the fight after promising Americans to continue fighting.i On Capitol Hill, President Truman yesterday signed thet new draft law which leaves him t unrestricted authority to order1 inductions resumed at any time.I The law, which runs until July 9, 1951, also empowers him to put the National Guard and the re- serves on active duty any time he sees fit to do so. * * * MALES FROM 19 to 26 are sub-, jeoted to induction. Swift and emphatic approval of President Truman's historic new decisions came from Congress members in general.7 White-haired Rep. Eaton (R- NJ), and ordained Baptist minis- ter, summed it up tersely: "We've got a rattlesnake by the tail and the sooner we, pound its head in the better." The decision to throw American; troops into the breach had become more and more pressing as the Southern Koreans, badly jarred by the surprise dawn attack of the northern invaders last weekend,; failed to stem the tank-led in- vasion forces. -* * * FOR REASONS of military sec- recy, Truman did not specify how many American GI's would be sent into action out of the 123,- 500 men in Gen. MacArthur's Far East Command. So far as is known, no Russian soldiers have yet appeared in the fighting, although the invaders are Russian-trained and have been reported using Soviet Yak planes eand Russian-made tanks. Red Advance AlongHan Armor Near Seoul Blasted TOKYO-(A)-The U.S. far east- ern air force, seeking to stem the North Korean breakthrough south of Seoul, reported today it de- stroyed 15 red tanks by strafing yesterday and heavily bombed oth- er Communist armor along the Han River east and west of Seoul. A communique issued at 3:45 a.m. (12:45 p.m. yesterday, CDT) by the air force said it flew 161 sorties over Korea, including a third raid by B-29 Superfortrese. The B-29s bombed alsong the Han River. * * * "BARGES AND troop concen- trations received heavy damage as well as tanks, convoys, and road intersections. Elements of the 5th air force provided cover, and in- complete returns indcate approxi- mately 30 trucks destroyed, two locomotives, an undetermined number of boxcars-believed to be at least 10+-and 15 tanks were also destroyed," by strafing, said the communique. The North Koreans asserted in a broadcast their air force had shot down four superforts in two serial battles Friday. No combat losses have been reported by the U.S. air force. B-26 bombers supported South Korean ground forces and strafed "targets of opportunity." F-80 jet fighters yesterday con- tinued strafing the Kimpo airport, which South Koreans earlier claimed they had recaptured. The bg airport, 16 miles west of Seoul, already had been heavily damaged by B-29s the day before, the com- munique said. * * * THREE AMERICAN planes were shot down and four destroyed on the ground, a North Korean broad- cast from Pyongyang claimed. The report, not confirmed elsewhere, was relayed by the Peiping red radio in a broadcast heard here. The Pyongyang report said one plane was shot down out of six that penetrated north of the 38th parallel, the imaginary line that splits Korea in half. (An earlier Pyongyang broad- cast claimed 27 American bombers had hit the Northern capital to- day, but listed no damage.) ANOTHER was shot down over Suwon, 20 miles south of Seoul, and four wrecked there on the ground, claimed the radio. It add- ed that one "P-38 type plane" was brought down by groundfire over Kaesong, just south of the 38th parallel. * * * 'U' Grad in Korea Moved to Japan * * * * AT LAW BANQUET: Reuther, Williams Hit Law as Backward' 4 By PAUL MARX The legal profession has not car- ried out its responsibility to pro- vide, advancement of civil rights and social and economic justice, Victor Reuther told the banquet of the institute on "The Law and Labor - Management Relations" last night. But Gov. G. Mennen Williams, after taking the banquet by sur- prise when he entered the hall midway through Reuther's ad- dress, said that he "would at- tempt to enter a defense for at- tornies." SPEAKING strictly off-the-cuff after Reuther had concluded, Wil- liams said that Reuther's criti- cisms "might not apply to indi- viduals occupied with law but to the collective bargaining would be' unsuccessful. * * * HE ALSO CITED instances in which members of the bar had deemed peaceful picketing unlaw- ful and had caused delays in de- cisions on the constitutionality of various social and economic legis- lation. Faced with this and other evi- dence the Governor seemed to retreat and said that "the faith of the people has been lost in some of the professions." Williams then told of an in- stance in which justice was being denied mainly because of the in- efficiency ofhbarristersand asked "Is this what our founding f a- thers had in mind when they set up this democracy?" * * * STUDENT VIEWS HOMELAND: Korean Crisis Reflects Hectic World 1,i By MARY LETSIS Korea's present crisis is the re- sult of the tense and turbulent condition of world affairs today and not of the division of Korea into northern and southern sec- tors, according to Young-Sook Miss Chang said that Korea had always been torn with dis- sension. "The only time that we ever en- joyed an amount of freedom was after the liberation in 1945, when we were allowed to use our own "But when in 1948 I left Seoul, their power had been pretty well diminished." A recent letter from Miss Chang's family made- no mention of the crisis which was then forth- coming.
