The vote was 118 to 87. * * * WHEN IT became clear they had lost command of the voting 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 A Moscow dispatch said th Mouse of Commons debate_ over orean affairs was almost sur to be interpreted by the Russian as a serious division in British American relations. 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 time." Armistice talks had narrower down to the question of Red pris oners to be repatriated, he said and "there is suddenly injectec into this an attack on these pow er stations. 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. e s U.S. Probing False Report yon Lattimore n nd The Justice Department discos- , ed yesterday that one of its top n criminal attorneys has been sent to Seattle to help prepare fraud - charges against the person who h planted a false tip that Owen Lit- n timore was planning to visit the Soviet Union. e The false information had caus- e ed the State Department to take it the unusual step of barring Latti- more, a Far Eastern expert, from d leaving the United States even before he applied for a passport. I, * * * d LAST FRIDAY the State De- - partment said that the "allega- tion" against the professor came 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 General Joseph A. Lowther has been assigned to the case and flew to Seattle to assist District Attorney Charles Dennis in pre- r senting it to a Federal grand t jury Friday. r United States District Judge John C. Bowen of Seattle has called the grand jury for a special - session to consider the matter. THE WHITE HOUSE reported that President Truman has taken a personal interest in the curious affair and ordered the State De- r partment to give him a "fill in." It has been learned that the "tip" on Lattimore had been delivered to the Central Intelli- gence Agency by a source which had previously been reliable on foreign intelligence. The CIA passed the report on to the Federal Bureau of Investi- gation which turned it over to the State Department. * * * LATTIMORE, director of the Walter Hines Page School of In- ternational Relations at Johns Hopkins University, has said from the beginning that the report was -Daily-Matty Kessler 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." * *s 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." "There is no way of explor. 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 Union. ing reality except by sense per- 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. Immigration IR Act Vetoed by --Daily--Matty Kessler COMFORTABLE - Youngsters laugh as the elder generation sizzles under Ann Arbor's continuing heat wave. 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. .* * * NEARBY beaches did not appear overcrowded either, and there is 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. Levision Truman Terms Bill Dual Threat To Security Mecarran Plan KeptOldQuota 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. Allies Make LightAttack SEOUL, Thursday, June 26--(M -Allied troops along the swelter- ing 155-mile Korean battle front opened the third year of the war today with a hit and run jab at Communist territory on the West- ern front. First reports of the action were sketchy. Only a Communist pla- toon opposed the Allied raiders in the thrust northwest of Yonchon. Red mortar and artillery fire, were reported heavy. * * * FORUM FOR OPINION: Poll Shows Students Favorable to SL 7 (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles on a recent sci- entific poll of student attitudes to- ward SL.
