CIO Leads
Fight Against
Vote Ruling
Delegation Balks
At UnitVoting
By The Associated Press
The state's delegation to the
Democratic National Convention
yesterday kicked up its heels
against voting at Chicago under
the unit rule.
The 135-man delegation voted
25 and 5/6 to 72 to reject the
imit rule, imposed by the Demo-
cratic State Convention and al-
ready certified to the National
Convention officials. The 135 del-
egates and alternates have 40
votes.
STATE DEMOCRATIC Chairman
Nel Staebler said he would pass
the delegation's vote on to the Na-
tional Convention Chairman and
ask that Michigan be relieved of
the unit rule, but he warned that
under National Convention rules
the state is bound by the decision
of the State Convention.
The fight against the unit
rule, which requires the entire
state delegation to ballot ac-
cording to the wishes of its ma-
jority, was led by CIO delegates.
There was speculation that the
labor union delegates wanted to
get out from under the unit rule
so that they would be free to vote
in concert with labor members
from other states for a Presiden-
tial candidate acceptable to labor,
no matter what kind of a decision
the party regulars made.
Governor Williams, U.S. Sena-
tor Blair Moody and Staebler op-
posed upsetting the unit rule,
which August Scholle, state CIO
chairman, former Governor Mur-
ry D. Van Wagoner and Robert
P. Scott, former secretary of the
Michigan Federation of Labor,
voted to upset.

IN CHICAGO, the calm Demo-
cratic front was shattered yester-
day by a charge of a "gang up"
plot against Sen. Estes Kekauver
of Tennessee. Then came a re-
port that President Truman still
is determined not to run for re-
election.
Then in rapid-fire order came
these developments:
1. Democratic National Chair-
man Frank McKinney reported
President Truman had instructed
him Sunday to oppose any "draft
Truman" move that might develop
in the Democratic National Con-
vehtion opening Monday.
2. McKinney told reporters
Truman will not come to Chi-
sago until after the Democratic
nominee is chosen.
3. Sullivan demanded of McKin-
ney that, the entire convention
proceedings be thrown open to
press, radio and television because
"we want to be free of those fixers
and masters of the doublecross."
4. Sullivan said he had been told
an effort had been made to bribe
some of the California delegates.
On the eve of hearings before
a tentative platform committee,
Americans for Democratic Action
served notice last night of an all-
out drive to nail a strong civil
rights plank into the 1952 Demo-
cratic platform.

WORKERS BREAK UP LANDMARK IN FRONT OF LIBRARY
- *II
By BOB MOELLER
A time-honored University land-
mark was recently erased from the
campus forever as a result of the
ambitious face-lifting operations
undertaken this summer by the
University Building and Grounds
Department.
This department also plans the
partial removal of the ivy vines
that adorn many of the campus
buildings.
State Moves
To Punish
Riot Leaders
LANSING, Mich., (P)-Ignoring
a "no reprisal" promise by prison
officials,the State of Michigan
moved yesterday to punish the
ring-leaders in the million-dollar-
plus riot and mutiny at high-
walled Southern Michigan Pris-
on.
Attorney General Frank G. Mil-
lard called for kidnaping war-
rants against 14 convicts respon-
sible for holding 13 guards as hos-
tages to win - their demands for
prison rule changes. He also re-
quested morals (sodomy) war-
rants against six other inmates.
He asked that three others be
charged with both crimes.
WINDING UP a six-week inves-
tigation of the April uprising, Mil-
lard said he might seek other war-
rants if the evidence justifies.
At Jackson, where the prison
is located Jackson County Pros-
ecutor George Campbell said
he may not prosecute some of
the minor riot leaders cited by
Millard.
But he said would move immedi-
ately. to obtain kidnap warrants
against such key figures as Jack
(Crazy Jack) Hyatt and Earl
Ward, who reportedly ruled the
insurgent cell block 15 with an
iron hand. Both
At Jackson, meanwhile, there
still were reverberations from the
big riot and a comparatively minor
uprising earlier this month.
Acting Warden William H. Ban-
nan, who took over last week when
Warden Julian N. Frisbie was
fired, continued the shakeup of
top personnel.
Assistant Deputy Wa r d e n
George L. Bacon, who has been
in charge of custody,was dplaced
on "special duty" outside the
walls, an assignment similar to
the one which preceded the dis-
missal weeks ago of Dr. Vernon
Fox, the prison's head psycholo-
gist, as an assistant deputy war-
den. Charles Cahill, an inspector
in the uniformed prison guard,
was named to replace Bacon.
Dawson To Talk
Over Television
Prof. John P. Dawson of the
EQUIPPED WITH sledge ham-
mers and a bulldozer, mainten-
ance workers converged Monday
on the area of the Diagonal direct-
ly in front of the main steps of
the General Library and proceed-
ed to tear up the large, circular
central portion bearing the initials
of the University on inlaid Maize
and Blue brick.
This portion of the Diagonal,
dating back perhaps as far as
the Twenties, and described by
a Building and Grounds De-
partment official as a "mud-
hole," has long been a favorite
meeting spot for University stu-
dents, as well as the scene of an-
nual clowning by pledges of
University honorary societies.
A somewhat hazy old tradition
regarding this spot on campus
holds that freshman who despoil
the sanctity of the revered initials
of the University by walking over
them must face thorough "discip-
linary" action from upperclass-
men.
STATING THAT the concrete
sidewalks and the brick "seal" in
front of the Library were in a con-
dition of "bad repair," Mainten-
ance Department heads plan to
substitute in their place a huge
concrete platform, extending close
Panel to Talk
On Religion
A panel discussion on "The So-
cial and Educational Implications
of Religion Today" will be pre-
sented at 4:15 p.m. today in the
Rackham Lecture Hall as the sixth
lecture in the summernseries,
"Modern Views of Man and So-
ciety."
Speakers will be The Rt. Rev.
Richard S. Emerich, Bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
Michigan, and University Presi-
dent Harlan H. Hatcher.
Prof. Frank Huntley of the Eng-
lish department, chairman of the
Board of Governors, Lane Hall
Student Religious Association,
will moderate the discussion.

According to the Maintenance
Department, the estimated cost
of the concrete platform includ-
ing a rust-proof overlay comes
to 45 cents per square foot
Even the climbing ivy vines,
eternal symbol of the American
college, are undergoing extensive
trimming operations at the hands
of the Building and Grounds De-
partment.
According to a Michigan Union
official, weather conditions last
winter killed off a large portion
of the vines covering that build-
ing, and have given it an "unsight-
ly appearance." The official also
explained that the vines have a
destructive effect upon the mor-
tar between the bricks of the
building, and that it "cost $18,000
to re-point the bricks on the Un-
ion tower" recently.
U.S. Bans Red
Pamphlets
WASHINGTON-(A)-The State
Department yesterday ordered the
Russian embassy to quit publish-
ing an distributing pamphlets in
the United States.
A department statement an-
nouncing this said the United
States was suspending publication
of a Russian-language magazine
called "Amerika," which it had
been distributing in Russia.,
It said the twin actions were
taken because the Russians were
obstructing distribution of "Amer-
ika" in the Soviet Union.
In halting the "Amerika" pro-
ject the department gave up op-
erations on the last remaining
wedge into the Iron Curtain.
A spokesman said the slick-
paper magazine was so popular
in the Soviet Union that news-
stands sold out all copies within
a few hours after they went on
sale wherever the Russian gov-
ernment did not interfere.'
Rain?
Yesterday was Saint Swith-
ins day and the legend sur-
rounding the burial of this
British monk should be of some
significance to weather - con-
scious Ann Arborites.
The legend has given rise to
the superstition that "if it rains
on his anniversary it will rain
daily thereafter for 40 days;
but if it is fair on Saint Swith-
in's day, it will not rain for 40
days."
As yesterday's weather was
neither very rainy nor very
fair, local amateur weather
seers expressed the belief that
it may only rain for the next
20 days.
Red China
OK's Geneva
Conventions
By The Associated Press
The Communists yesterday ask-
ed for an additional two-day re-
cess in the secret Korean truce
negotiations and the Allies agreed.
The new delay in the crucial
talks came as Peiping radio an-
nounced Red China's conditional
acceptance of the Geneva Conven-
tions providing for the care of
prisoners of war and banning germ
and chemical warfare.
THE PRISONER of war issue is
the sole remaining obstacle to a
Korean armistice. The truce talks
have been deadlocked on it for
months. The Allies refuse to re-
patriate any prisoner against his
will. The Reds have insisted on the
return of all their captured troops.
Whether the startling Red
statement they would adhere to
the Geneva Conventions might
provide a key to an armistice
-was not immediately apparent.
Allied truce officials were view-
ing the development cautiously.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
spokesman for the U. N. Command
declined to comment.
But certain decisive moves
were possible which could break
the deadlock.
Under the Geneva Convention
on prisoners, the Reds could trans-
fer to a mutually agreed third
power those prisoners who refuse
repatriation. Such a step might be
acceptable to both sides.
The off-the-record talks have
been in recess since Monday at
Red request.
* * *
IN SEOUL the U. S. Army Chief
of Staff implied strongly yesterday
the Allies are ready to use an
atomic weapon, if ever necessary,
to prevent the Reds from driving
-them out of Korea.
Gen. J. Lawton Collins told a
news conference in Tokyo the
United Nations Command was pre-
pared "to use anything except
germ warfare," but only if the
Communists seriously threatened
Allied forces. He indicated he did
not consider the present battle-
front stalemate such a threat.
Except for strike by Allied
fighter-bombers on Western front
positions and near Pyongyang, the
war was relatively quiet. The
Eighth Army reported only minor
patrol skirmishes.

To Call New
Meeting Soon
Steelman Says
Agreement Vital
A crucial, White House-inspired
steel strike parley between indus-
try and union ended in failure
yesterday, foiled by the contro-
versial union shop issue.
President Philip Murray of the
United Steelworkers (CIO) and
Vice-President Joseph M. Larkin
of Bethlehem Steel Corp. spent
two hours in a downtown Pitts-
burgh hotel, only to finally issue
a joint statement saying that they
could find no common meeting
ground on the union shop issue.
BOTH INDUSTRY and union
agreed to stand by for word from
Presidential Assistant John R.
Steelman, who took a hand after
week-end negotiations between
the same parties raised hopes of
agreement but broke up in disap-
pointment.
Murray and Larkin had agreed
to meet again at the urging of
the White House after Steelman
said settlement of the 44-day
old steel walkout is imperative.
Steelman is reported to have
warned industry and union to re-
sume bargaining or else face a
summons to Washington where
they would be locked in a confer-
ence room until final settlement of
the nation's longest and costliest
steel strike is achieved-
The joint statement of industry
and union read: "We hate con-
tinued our discussions . . . and
are still in disagreement. We have
reported that by telephone to Dr.
Steelman. He has requested that
we stand by for further word from
him."
The area of disgreement be-
tween industry and union lies in
Murray's demand that union mem-
bership be made a condition of
employment. The wage issue is
believed out of the way with gen-
eral agreement on pay boost of
around 25 cents an hour, includ-
ing fringe benefits.
Arab States
Influence
In UNCited
Harold Howard, State Depart-
ment research expert, said in a
public lecture yesterday that the
states of the Arab League are ex-
erting an increasing amount of in-
fluence in the United Nations.
The Near Eastern authority
stated that the Arab nations with
the cooperation of other nations
of Asia and Africa have been able
to attain important seats on many
UN councils and commissions.
They have influenced resolutions
and have shown particular inter-
est in agencies such as UNESCO
which can help deal with Near
Eastern problems, he said.
* * *
THE MAJOR INTERESTS of
the Arab States have been in mat-
ters concerning trusteeships and
non-self-governing territories and
the emerging nationalism of Asian
and African nations. All the Arab
delegates, Howard said, insisted on
establishing the principle of UN
technical and economic aid to un-
derdeveloped areas in the East.
Howard commented that some
of the UN's toughest problems
have also come from the Arab
world. Among those problems
mentioned were the partition of
Palestine and the formation of
the State of Israel, the Anglo-
Iranian oil controversy, the Suez
controversy and the disposition
of Italian colonies.
Howard observed that while in
"stately British
march" and

GOP Workers
DENVER-(P)-Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, moving to rally grass-
roots Republican campaign work-
ers, called on them last night to
lead a fight for true world peace
and rejection of "the false doc-
trine of Communism."
And the GOP presidential nom-
inee pledged to such workers that
all of them "are going to be an
integral part of this united effort,
this drive to total victory" in the
November elections.
Eisenhower made the promise in
a telegram to Rep. Edward H.
Jenison of Illinois on the occasion
of the opening of his re-election
campaign in Springfield, Ill., last
night.
Eisenhower headquarters here
said the Jenison rally amounted to
a nation-wide kickoff of the Re-
publican drive to capture control
of Congress this fall.

JULIANA BROUGHT FORTH CROWDS:
Americans Share Interest in Royalty
By BARNES CONNABLE
Special To The Daily
LONDON-An unashamed, detailed interest in a royal family
is not something at which Americans can reasonabley snicker.
It should be recalled that the Netherlands' Queen Juliana's
spring visit to America brought forth millions of curious citizens
who had never been subjects.
* * * *
PERHAPS the huge turn-out at Grand Rapids can be attributed
largely to the huge Dutch population in that area. But at the
University, where milling crowds of students and townspeople lined
the streets of Ann Arbor for a fleeting look at Her Majesty, an im-
Englishman and American is the various troops which have for
centuries guarded it.
The Grenadier Guards, lifeguards and countless other cate-
gories-you can't tell them apart without a program-look
a bit ridiculous at first glance.
After a while, though, you begin to wonder if there's something
in all this, for you find yourself staring along with hundreds of Lon-
doners at every move they make.
Their get-up is fantistic, stifling and painful. But they con-
duct themselves with humorless dignity and you don't really feel
right about asking them whether this isn't a jolly waste of time.
