1Y WHO IS SPARKMAN? ee Page 2 BAitz tan Latest Deadline in the State It eQ FAIR AND WARM VOL. LXII, No. 195 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1952 FOUR PAGES Perigo Named As Head Of 'U' Basketball Team By' BOB MARGOLIN William Perigo, basketball coach at Western Michigan College, was named head coach of the Michi- gan quintet yesterday by Athletic Director H. O. (Fritz) Crisler. His appointment filled a vacan- cy that existed on the Michigan coaching staff since Ernie McCoy resigned early last month to ac- cept the athletic directorship of Pennsylvania State College. * * * PERIGO will bring with him Matthew Patanelli, a well-known Michigan athlete of the mid-thir- ties who aided the new Wolverine cage mentor at Western Michi- gan. Another former Michigan ath- lete and present member of the coaching staff, Dave Strack, will remain to assist Perigo. Unlike McCoy, who was also assistant athletic director to Crisler and head football scout, Perigo will devote full time to the University's basketball for- tunes on the Yost Feldhouse hardwood. Perigo's record as a coach of high school and college basketball teams is outstanding and Michi- gan fans are looking forward to the end of two decades of almost continuous losing seasons. A native of Lebanon, Ind., Per- igo attended high school at Del- phi, Ind. and' college at Western Michigan. He was an outstanding athlete at both institutions. AFTER graduation with a BS in physical education, Perigo coached the Markelville, Ind. High school quintet for two years and then moved to Benton Harbor, Mich., where he succeeded Bill Orwig, now a Michigan football coach. It was in Benton Harbor that Perigo made a name for himself as a cage mentor. In his 13 years there his teams won the South- west Conference title seven times, played in the state finals three times and won the Class A ehai- pionship once. His record during that time was 122 wins and 64 losses. In 1949 he moved up to Western Michigan and his success contin- ued at the Kalamazoo school. In three years of college competition his teams won 42 and lost 29 games. Last winter his team tied for the Mid-American Conference crown and the previous year it was runner-up. Perigo, 40, b! married and the father of thiee children, Patricia, 16; Donald, 14, and Marybeth, 8.

Peron died last night aft- er a lingering illness. Her age was listed officially as 30. She never recovered fully from an operation performed here last November with a New York can- cer specialist in attendance. THE CAUSE of death was not confirmed as cancer, however, dur- ing her long illness. The Argentina national radio announced in a nationwide broadcast that she died at 8:25 p.m. The dynamic wife of President Peron who worked hard both at being glamorous and at swaying the nation's "descamisaos" shirt- less ones), was perhaps the most powerful woman in western hem- isphere domestic politics. A POOR, untutored provincial girl whose romance blossomed in- to political power, she was a real- life Cinderella for millions of workers, nursing mothers and hov- el-dwellers whose adulation pro- pelled her calculating star. Her soaring rise was cut short last fall by an illness described by her doctors as acute anemia. On Nov. 6 she underwent a major operation after an examination by an eminent cancer and tu- mor specialist, Dr. George Pack of New York. The specific condition that made the operation necessary was never announced. Since June 20 the public had been prepared for bad news con- * ' *. * WILLIAM PERIGO-Michigan's new basketball mentor brings sixteen years of coaching experience to his job as director of the Maize and Blue cage fortunes.

World News Roundup ~1 The Winners University faculty members have picked two winners, According to results of a Daily poll taken before the GOP Convention, the faculty chose both Eisenhower and Steven- son by a five-to-one majority, Their predicting powers fail- ed them in the Vice-Presiden- tial choices, however. Neither Nixon or Sparkman were men- tioned once on the question- naires. King Farouk Abdicates; BeginsExile CAIRO, Egypt - (P) - King Farouk I abdicated his ancient throne in favor of his seven- month-old son, crown prince Ah- med Fuad, under the pressures of an army cleanup campaign yester- day and sailed without his fain- ily into exile aboard his royal yacht. The troops of Lt. Gen. Moham- med Naguib Bey, Egypt's new strong man as the army's self-pro- claimed commander in chief, sur- rounded the royal estates and ar- rested a number of royal guard officers in the showdown at the Ras El Tin palace in Alexandria, Egypt's summer capital. * * * STREET CROWDS applauded the outcome. Groups formed ev- erywhere, clapping their hands happily, as the news spread. The army said Farouk, a fab- ulously wealthy ex-playboy, sail- ed into the Mediterranean alone aboard his yacht Mahroussa. He is going to Italy, perhaps even- tually to the United States. His 18-year-old Queen Narriman, and the crown prince stayed behind. Queen Narriman said she wish- ed to follow Farouk into exile, but was prevented from doing so be- cause "she must take care of the baby crown prince and help bring him up. Naguib staged a lightning military coup Wednesday, pledg- ing himself to root our corrup- tion in the Egyptian govern- ment. He installed Maher Pasha as the premier of his own choice. And yesterday Maher Pasha talked twice to the 32- year-old Farouk. Finally came the official announcement from army general headquarters that the king was through. A regency council was set up to rule troubled Egypt until the crown prince, born last Jan. 16 to Farouk and the beauteous Narri- man, comes of age. The King's abdication climaxed a succession of government crises which followed the disastrous riot- ing and fires which swept Cairo last January at the height of fierce anti-British feeling. The country has had six different gov- ernments in this period. In London British Foreign min- istry officials went into hurried conferences. The abdication is of prime importance to Britain, which has been in a bitter struggle with Egypt. About 100,000 British troops guard the Suez Canal Zone despite Egypt's cancellation of 'a treaty authorizing their presence. Another issue is the Anglo-Egyp- tian Sudan, still ruled jointly by Britain' and, Egypt despite Fa- rouk's claim to sovereignty over it. Sparkman . * * * s Ticket With Stevenson Will Share e1 By The Associated Press MUNSAN, Sunday, July 27-Top level Korean armistice talks- called off, for seven days by Allied delegates-fall back today to staff officer discussions of a vaguely worded Communist request to rewrite the truce document. The Communist reason for requesting the staff talks is ostensibly to discuss "details or wording." The Chief Red negotiators, North Korean Gen. Nam II, has admitted that the only issue blocking a truce is prisoner exchange. DETROIT-Detroit's ti ce daily and Sunday newspapers yester- day announced price incre. .as effective in August because of rising production costs. All three newspapers cited the skyrocketing cost of newsprint paper. Effective Aug. 4 the price of the daily papers will be increased from five to seven cents or 40 cents for six issues delivered at home. The price of the Sunday newspaper will be increased from 15 to 20 cents effective Aug. 10. * 4' * * HONG KONG-Violence flared anew on the border between Red China and the Portuguese colony of Macau Friday an yester- day and at least two Portuguese African soldiers were killed..

Nixon-slapped at the Democrats' Stevenson-Sparkman ticket last night as one committed to all-out defense of the Truman Administration record. Eisenhower, declared the selection of Gov. Adlai Stevenson as the Democratic candidate and Sen. John J. Sparkman as his running mate means their party can offer the country 6nly another four years of President Truman's policies. DALLAS-Atty. Gen. Price Daniel took a strong lead over two others last night in the Texas Democratic primary election for the U. S. Senate seat that veteran Tom Connally is vacating.' About 130,000 out of an expected vote of more than a million had been counted. Two other national figures, ypeaker Sam Rayburn of Bonham and former U. S. Rep. Martin Dies of Lufkin were leading. in their races. CANDIDATE FOR VEEP-Rep. John W. McCormack (left) of Massachusetts raises the arm of Sen. John Sparkman of Ala- bama who has been picked by Gov.

Four faculty members, three Democrats and one Republican, yesterday indicated they thought Stevenson was "head and should- ers" above the other Democratic candidates. They all agreed that a Stevenson-Eisenhower campaign will be unusually high-level. * * * ' PROF. GEORGE Peek of the English Teachers' Conference Slated Values in the creative writing approach will be discussed at the final meeting of the Conference of English Teachers at 4 p.m. Mon- day in Rackham Assembly Hall. Speakers will be Helen Mutton, Grosse Pointe High School; Rob- ert Freier, Denby High School, De- troit; Dorothy Sonke, Central High School, Grand Rapids; and Prof. Roy W.

Motivation and pitfalls in crea- tive writing of verse, fiction and essay, and the appreciation of lit- erature will be discussed by the group. EVA PERON . . first lady dies * * * cerning her. Then the Ministry of Education requested all teachers and pupils to pray for her recovery. Snubbed by many of Argentina's aristocrats when she went to the Casa Rosada (pink house), the president's palace, in 1946, Eva Peron in turn scorned "society" and set out on a glittering path of power. She controlled many newspap- ers, all of which faithfully ex- tolled the president. She maintained offices in the ministry of labor where she kept a careful eye on policies. political science department was "elated to see harmony in the party and to see a liberal South- erner like Sen. Sparkman to weld the Democrats together." "While Stevenson is not a cru- sading, fire-eating liberal like Sen. Humphrey, he stands intel- lectually above any other candi- date," Prof. Peek commented. He added, "I expect him to win." Prof. Arthur Eastman of the English department agreed with Prof. Peek on Stevenson's win- ning power. Speaking of the No- vember elections, he said "the Democrats will probably take it." Commending on the character of the ensuing campaign, Prof. East- man felt that Stevenson would not follow partisan issues. "He doesn't line up opposite the Republicans, and evidently doesn't feel obli- gated to support the present ad- ministration's policy," he said. PROF. PRESTON Slosson of the history department indicated he would have preferred Sen. Kefau- ver as Stevenson's running mate but that he was "immeasurably pleased" with the present ticket. In the prediction line, Prof. SIosson foresaw a "very close election, because individually Eisenhower has greater popular appeal than any othe rperson in the country, but the Democrats have more voters at the present time." The sole Republican available for comment, Prof. Arthur Brom- age of the political science depart- ment, felt that Stevenson was the strongest candidate from the elec- tio~n viewpoint. The Stevenson-Eisenhower cam- paign will probably hinge more on domestic issues than on foreign, since Republican and Democratic candidates are not too far away on foreign policy, Prof. Bromage commented.

A revolutionary silent film with CONVENTION HALL, Chicago -(A)-The Democratic Party plac- ed Sen. John J. Sparkman of Ala- bama by the side of presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson yestetday for the great political wars against the Republicans. Then it adjourned its 31st Na- tional Convention in a glow of outward harmony. * * * SPARKMAN accepted the vice presidential nomination with a pledge to "take the message of" democracy to the people of this country." "I believe, I earnestly believe," he said, "that we will go out of this convention with greater sol- idarity, greater unity in all sec- tions of the country and in all segments of our party than we have been able to achieve in a long, long time." Sparkman was the Stevenson choice for a running mate. And the Convention whooped it through by acclamation. The North-South hook up of the Illinois governor and Alabama senator presented a new found- and incomplete--unity in the party. THE DEMOCRATIC clans had battled furiously, spectacularly, all week long over candidates, the civ- i rights issue and a party loyalty oath repulsive to parts of the South. Even as they turned to Stev- enson early yesterday to lead them into the 1952 campaign there were cries of "deals" and "payoffs" from opposition camps. By and large; party leaders were saying Sparkman was entirely ac- ceptable. Here and there on the fringes there was a noticeale lack of warmth toward the Alabama Senator, dov, Jo : S. Battle of Vlgfu said he doesn't think Sparkman "is well enough known to be of any help" to the Democratic Party in his state. But Sen. Hubert Humphrey, from the wing of the party that calls itself the liberals, sized up the choice of Sparkman as "splen- did." President Truman, in Kan- sas City, said the selection was,"a peach." * * * SPARKMAN is a political vet- eran who made his start on the Washington scne as a House member in 1935, after 10 years of practicing law at Huntsville, Ala. He shifted to the Senate in 1948. And his record indicates that the Administration can rely on him, more than most Southern- ers, to go along with all phases of its program except civil rights legislation. Even on that, his attitude hasn't been as tough as that of most Southerners. Stevenson was put over with a dramatic coup and accepted in the early hours yesterday an honor'he said he never sought. He had lagged behind Kefauver on two ballots. But he had strength to call up later on. And the opposi- tion collapsed before it when A- erell Harriman of New York, the Mutual Security Director, leaped out of the race and swung in be- hind Stevenson. For the outset of his campaign, Stevenson asked chairman Frank McKinney and the staff of the Democratic National Committee to stay on for the time being. In a personal appearance before the committee yesterday, Steven- son said that he lacks an organi- zation, has a limited acquaintance, and will be "utterly dependent" on the committee.

Murray said "complete agree- ment" had been reached between the union and the steel industry. Union spokesmen added that this means some blast furnaces will be fired almost immediately. * * * BASIC TERMS for settling the 55-day-old strike were agreed on at the White House Thursday and ratified by the steelworkers' pol- icy committee here Friday. But a last minute dispute in- volving 23,000 iron ore workers, 'COMEDY OF MANNERS:' Second Threshold' To Be Presented By MARGE SHEPHERD Phillip Barry's farewell play "Second Threshold" is a mature "comedy of manners" drama with a sincere message, according to Prof. Hugh Z. Norton, of the speech department and director of the summer season production of the play. "Second Threshold," prepared over a period of twelve years pre- ceding Barry's death and edited by Sherwood Anderson, will be pre- sented Wednesday through Satur- day at Lydia Mendelssohn Thea- F. Forrestal, former Secretary of Defense. "Second Threshold" tells of what are to be the last two days of a man's life. The main charac- ter is an idealistic lawyer who has devoted himself to climbing the rungs of government positions to the extent that he loses all touch with his family. Finally becoming disillusioned in his job, he plans suicide. It is then that he seeks the support of his family and especially the emo- tionless daughter he hardly knows. the language, dialogue of a style and rhythm unfamiliar to the cast. To secure the necessary tone and feeling from the lines, Prof. Norton attempts to bring to the surface of the actors expression that "germ of experience" simi- lar to the one being dramatized. "Thus, although no one has ex- perience the exact sentiments of the man in "Second Threshold," there does exist in everyone a past experience or emotion in some way like that of the play,"
