Attlee Says
Yalu Attacks
Peril Truce
LONDON -W)- Former Prime
Minister Attlee charged yesterday
that the big American bombin
of Yalu power plants in Korea car
ried the "conditions of total war'
to Red China and endangerec
chances of an armistice.
"I think this is a profound mis-
take in psychology and it is no
the first mistake in psychology
that has been made in the cours
of these events," the Labor Party
leader told the House of Common
in a full debate.
IN REPLY, Foreign Secretary
4 Anthony Eden said he was "sorry
Britain had been kept in the darl
on 'plans for bombing but "we giv(
our allies full support in it."
Eden said he would not like
to estimate whether the action
had lessened the chances of an
armistice, adding, "If this bomb-
ing is intolerable to the Com-
munists they really have the
remedy in their own hands. An
armistice can be concluded to-
morrow on terms which satisfy
the honor and interests of both
sides if the Communists want

SEVERAL Laborites surprise
Prime Minister Churchill Tuesda
with demands for information
about the bombing which levelle
power installations on the Korea:
side of the Yalu River border
with Manchuria. They forced hin
to agree to a general debate.
Attlee said yesterday the pow
er plants supplied not only Norti
Korea but part of Manchuria it
Red China and Siberia in Sovie
Russia, and there seemed to N
"no overwhelming reason for th
attack upon them at the presen

Armistice talks had narrower

Ike Picks Up
Six-Vote Gain,
Poll Reveals
By The Associated Press
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
passed the 400-mark for the firs
time Wednesday in the race for
delegates to the Republican Na-
tional Convention.
He now has slightly more than
r two-thirds of the 604 votes re-
quired for nomination.
A NEW POLL of Pennsylvania's
possibly "crucial" 70-vote delega-
tion shows Eisenhower has picked
up a net gain of six votes over
his chief rival, Sen. Robert A
Taft of Ohio.
The five-star general still
trails Taft in the red-hot na-
tional battle for delegates, how-
ever-and in Washington there
was renewed speculation that
the GOP convention might be-
come hopelessly deadlocked, In
that event, both Taft and Eisen-
hower might be shunted aside to
make way for a "dark horse"
compromise candidate.
The latest Associated Press tal-
ly-based on a new survey of the
President Truman's lieutenants
called off further consideration of
the controls bill yesterday.
They will rally their forces
overnight and try today to get
wage and price controls back
into the measure with a final
rolleall vote.
If the administration loses to-
day's showdown, all that will re-
main of the controls bill will be
rent curbs, allocations for scarce
materials and a request that the
President use the Taft-Hartley
act to stop the steel strike.
THE HOUSE Banking Commit-
tee previously had stripped the
bill of all consumer credit con-
trols. Last Friday the House voted
provisionally to lit price controls
e from almost all consumer goods
y and abolish the Wage Stabiliza-
g tion Board. These votes are also
subject to final rollcall action.
The amendment to let price and
d wage controls die at the end of
next month was sponsored by Rep.
- Barden (D-NC).
t
y The Defense Production Act,
e with all its control powers, will
y expire at midnight Monday un-
s less Congress acts to extend it.
In turning thumbs down on
controls today, the House-ignored
y a last minute appeal by economic
administrator Roger L. Putnam.
He said the chamber should not
'e risk destroying the nation's eco-
nomic stability and undermining
its military power.
* * *
AS AMENDED, Putnam said,
the bill would give the people of
the country "another wallop of
inflation."
The Senate has agreed to ex-
tend controls until next Feb. 28.
So if the House votes to kill
them today, a joint conference
committee will be handed the task
of trying to reconcile House and
Senate views in a compromise bill.

from an "official source" and that
the ban on his travel had been
sent to the United States customs
bureaus as a precaution against
possible illegal departure.
The Justice Department said
that Special Assistant Attorney

Attorney Charles Dennis in pre-

THE WHITE HOUSE reported
that President Truman has taken
a personal interest in the curious
affair and ordered the State De-

It has been learned that the
"tip" on Lattimore had been
delivered to the Central Intelli-

ONE WAY TO COOL OFF
West Hits New Style
Of, Literary *Criticism
Attacking the "new objective
techniques" of literary criticism,
Anthony West, brilliant young
author-reviewer, defended the op-
posing "impressionistic" m o d e
which he hAs followed in his own
critical studies.
West discussed his conception of
"The Critical Function" as he
spoke yesterday afternoon in
Rackham Lecture Hall to more
than 300 students, professors and
townspeople. His talk opened the
lecture series arranged in conjunc-
tion with the special summer pro-
gram "Modern Views of Man and
Society."

SCORNING the "objective" ap-
proach pioneered by T. S. Eliot,
he commented that "they try to
speak as God uncorrupted by hu-
man senses, but if you ignore hu-
man senses you are not audible to
the human ear."

Walker Cisler
To Address
Law Institute
Walker Cisler, president of the
Detroit Edison Co. will be one of
the 10 speakers in the opening
session of the three-day Law
School summer institute which
begins today..
"Atomic Energy-Industrial and
Legal Problems" is the subject of
the program which is cospon-
sored by the Memorial-Phoenix
Project.
More than 200 business execu-
tives, government officials, edu-
cators and guests are expected to
attend the conference which will
be devoted to a discussion of the
many problems of an economic
and legal nature developing for
business and industrial concerns
in the atomic age.
Cisler will address the 2 p.m.
meeting today on "Public Utilities
and Nuclear Power."
President Harlan H. Hatcher
will address the conference dele-
gates on "The University Looks to
the Future" at 7 p.m. today in the

ception," he added.
Critics who "embroider" their
work by pseudo-analysis and over-
extended - intellectualism d r e w
West's fire. Referring to Herman
Melville's story "Moby Dick," he
caustically remarked "my col-
leagues are trying to stuff it with
significance as a country farmer
stuffs a Christmas stocking."
* * *
"FANCY expression conceals
doubt and confusion of ideas," he
said. "One of the functions of a
critic is to be understood, and
therefore his work must be clear
and simplified."
West considers the primary crit-
ical function to be the rescue of
works of art from obscurity. He
believes the critic should have a
positive approach, but affirms that
he should attack writing which is
inadequate in revealing the ma-
turity of the culture from which
it originates.
Outlining the superiorities of
subjective analysis, he (elated
how George Orwell added tre-
mendous significance to "King
Lear" by subjectively reaching
the conclusion that Shakespeare
intended it as a "lesson in liv-
ing."
In conclusion he spoke of the
complexity of the modern age,
commenting that "industrializa-
tion has produced a proletariant'
intellectually barren as well as
economically poor."
MSC Announces
Term Enrollment
EAST LANSING - (A) - The
summer term enrollment at Mich-
igan State College totaled 3,776
in the regular enrollment period
Monday and Tuesday, Registrar
Robert S. Linton said yesterday.
He said he expected late reg-
istrations, acceptable through July
1, to swell the final figure to more
than 4,100. Last year, summer en-
rollment totaled 4,924.
The decrease, Linton said, could
be laid mainly to the disappear-
ance of veterans from the cam-
pus and the easing of the draft.
Tokyo Police
Smash New
Red Rioting
U.S. General
Among Injured
TOKYO-(A)-Japanese police
smashed Communist riots in Tok-
yo and at Osaka in a violent cli-
max yesterday to Red demonstra-
tions against the Korean war.
Police used tear gas and clubs
against Reds who hurled acid and
fire bombs.
* * *
MORE THAN 60 police and 50
demonstrators were hurt.
Also injured were U. S. Brig.
Gen. Carter W. Clarke-burned
slightly by acid at Osaka-two
American military policemen
and three Japanese newspaper-
men.
National police headquarters
said 108 rioters were under arrest
-76 at Osaka and 32 in Tokyo.
THE RIOTS grew out of pro-
Communist meetings by 400,000
Koreans throughout Japan on the
second anniversary of the Korean
war.
Anti-American banners were
broken out at Osaka-Japan's
second-largest city. The violence
in Tokyo seemed aimed at the
government and against the war
generally.
American military personnel in
the Tokyo area were ordered to
remain in their headquarters dur-
ing the riot.
* * *
ARMED WITH clubs, bamboo
spears and bottles of acid and
gasoline an estimated 2,500 flag-
waving Reds marched on Shin-
juku railroad station in suburban
Tokyo Wednesday night after a
noisy, four-hour meetng.
Steel-helmeted Japanese po-
lice waited quietly in a cordon
ringed around the crowded sta-
tion. Demonstrators were most-
ly Koreans.
Th'e mob swept into the police
line and hurled the fire bombs
and acid. The police fought back
with tear gas and night sticks.
Some Reds clambered to the ele-
vated tracks above the melee and
waved North Korean flags.
OUT OF THE swirling confu-
sion, the police emerged in solid
ranks and sealed off the mob,
section by section, in the huge area
outside the station.
Shinjuku station lies along the
route between downtown Tokyo
and Tachikawa Air Base, U. S.
military authorities promptly ban-
ned American vehicles from the
area. U. S. military buildings were
guarded closely during the night.
Osaka is 350 miles southwest of
Tokyo.
Truce Talks
BlockedAgain
MUNSAN -- () - Communist
truce delegates quit talking yes-
terday about the Allied screening
of Red war prisoners.
The abrupt silence on the Reds'
favorite subject left some observ-
ers wondering about its signifi-
cance, if any.
AT ANY rate, yesterday's arm-
istice meeting at Panmunjom got
nowhere.
Another session was schedul-
ed today at 9 p.m. Ann Arbor
time.
For days the Reds had bitterly
assailed the Allied announcement
that 27,000 civilian internees
would be released in South Korea
and that 45,000 prisoners on Koje
Island were being screened.
North Korean Gennam Il, chief
Communist delegate, didn't men-
tion either development yesterday.

COMFORTABLE - Youngsters laugh as the elder generation

Daily RoutineNor-m-al
s EHeat Wave Continues'
As the rest of the nation swelt-
ered under a heat wave that ex-
tended from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Great Lakes and from Texas
to the Atlantic Coast, Ann Arbor-
ites apparently just perspired and
moved a little slower about their
regular daily routine.
Althought the Weather Bureau
at Willow Run Airport reported a
temperature of 96 degrees with
predictions of more heat and hu-
midity to come, local air-condi-
tioned movie theatres noted only
a slight increase in their after-
noon attendance.

City Protests
LocalTheater
Tax Injunction
Local government attorneys yes-
terday protested an injunction re-
quested by the Butterfield Theat-
ers, Inc., owners of five city thea-
ters, to prevent placement of a
proposed city amusement tax on
the August 5 ballot.
The vote is scheduled to take
place just two months after a sim-
ilar proposal was defeated by city
voters.
The theaters contend that the
city could not legally place a de-
feated charter amendment on the
ballot again for two years.
The city's motion was filed by
Attorney William M. Laird, who
claims that the theatre chain had
not brought legal action against
the city.
The present proposed amend-
ment would levy a ten per cent
tax on admissions to all enter-
tainments in Ann Arbor, if the
basic price is 26 cents or more. The
city hopes to collect over $100,000
annually in revenues this way, by
taxing dances, movies, concerts,
football games, and other forms of
entertainment.
no record that Ann Arbor drug-1
stores have run out of ice cream
and lemonade from attempting to9
satisfy thirsty customers.
Nothing unusual was reported
by the Police and Fire Depart-
ments although city officials in
Detroit and Washington, D. C.
were not so lucky.-
In Detroit, with water consump-
tion at its second highest rate in
history, officials were drafting an
ordinance to curtail the use of
water for lawn sprinklers and air'
!ooling systems after admittingl
that attempts to obtain house-
holder's cooperation on water con-
servation had not worked.l
The heat also rivaled the steel3
strike in idling auto workers as
some 29,000 Detroit factory hands
either asked and received permis-
sion from their managements to;
go home for the day or merely
walked out.
As the mercury hit 98 degrees in
Washington, a giant water main
burst and cut off water to the
White House and much of the
downtown area. The big down-
town hotels immediately began
"rationing" water and White
House staff members filled num-
erous 40-gallon cooking cauld-
rons with water as soon as they
heard of the break.
It was cool in the Upper Pen-
insula, however, as a sharp wind,
rain and a lightning storm whip-
ped across the western half early
yesterday playing havoc with tele-
phone circuits and trees.
House Asks
HST To Use
Taft-Hartley
WASHINGTON-(I)-The House
voted to go along with the Sen-
ate yesterday in asking President
Truman to use the Taft-Hartley
law to halt the steel strike.
The President was silent, how-
ever, on whether he will heed the
Congressional request. Under T-H,
Truman could apply for an 80-day
court ban against continuing the
shutdown of the nation's most
basic industry.
THE 24-DAY strike was cutting
deeper into the nation's economy,
including defense production. Be-
sides the 650,000 striking CIO
steelworkers, nearly 125,000 other
workers were idle in industries de-
pending on steel. The number was
growing fast, with heavy layoffs
starting in the auto industry.

WASHINGTON-(1)-'President
Truman vetoed the MacCarran
Act, which revises all the immi-
gration and naturalization laws,
yesterday, denouncing it as a
threat to both America's strength
at home and the nation's moral
leadership for peace.
The President said an overhaul
is needed and there are a few good
things in the bill but the features
to which he objected make the
price too high.
THE BIGGEST benefit he saw
in the measure was its provision
removing the present bar to nat-
uralization of orientals and as-
signing small quotas to, Far East
nations-something he has long
advocated.
"But now this most desirable
provision comes before me embed-
deded in a mass of legislation
hich would perpetuate injustice
f long standing against many
other nations of the world, ham-
per the efforts we are making to
rally men of the East and West
alike to the cause of freedon'i, and
intensify the repressive and ?n-
humane aspects of our immigra-
tion procedures," Truman said in
a seven-page message to Congress.
"The price is too high and in
good conscience I cannot agree
to pay it."
The President hit hardest at
the basic theory of the bill, which
is maintenance of the national
origins quota system in effect since
1924. This system is based on tl
1920 'census, which determined
what proportion of the U.S. popu-
lation hailed originally from each
foreign nation. The system calls
for adhering to these same pro-
portions in admitting future im-
migrants.
* * *
HE SAID the country by coun-
try limitations are "insulting to
a large number of- our finest citi-
zens, irritating to our allies
abroad, and foreign to our purpose
and ideals."
The President added that the
over-all limit of 154,658 immi-
grants a year is itself too small
to "keep up with the growing
needs of our nation for man-
power to maintain the strength
and vigor of our economy."
The bill, which has been the
center of one of the hottest re-
cent fights in Congress was spon-
sored jointly by Senator McCar-
ran (D-Nev.) chairman of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, and
Rep. Walter (D-Pa.)
it was passed by the House
April 25 with a standing vote of
206 to 68, which would be enough
for the two-thirds required to
override a veto.
The Senate passed the measure
May 22 on a voice vote which did
not show the actual division of
the members. Less restrictive sub-
stitutes, however, had been turn-
ed down in the Senate 51 to 27,
three votes shy of the two-thirds.

FORUM FOR OPINION:
Poll Shows Students Favorable to SL

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
in a series of articles on a recent sci-
entific poll of student attitudes to-
ward SL. Today's article deals with
students' opinions on the power stu-
dent government should have. To-
morrow's will consider the represen-
tativeness of SL.;
COMMENTS indicated that stu-
dents' "idea" of SL was a forum
for reflecting opinion rather than
a decision making body.
Those questioned approved SL
of the sociology department, choice
of a topic for polling is mqde on
a basis of administration interest
and student choice. SL has in the
past semester taken action on a
large number of controversial is-
whether they thought the admin-
istration should grant more or less
power to SL. Answers were divid-
ed equally in three sections: more
power is advisable; SL's present
influence is sufficient; no opinion.
