A Wayne 'U' Faculty To AideProbe Staff Bans Use of Fifth Amendment To Balk Committee Investigations DETROIT-(P)-In a move believed unprecedented, members of the Wayne University faculty pledged yesterday that none of their number would be permitted to invokle the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions of Congressional Committees probing Com- munism. The statement was drawn up by a council picked from among 1,000 faculty members after 18 months' study and consideration. It was presented to the Detroit Board of Education yesterday. PRESIDENT CLARENCE B. Hilberry said the statement amounts to a promise from faculty members that there is no subversion among them. It is believed to be the first ** -j- -g of its kind in any American col- lege or university. Women Prisoners Returned POW Exchange Proceeds; Fifty i GIs Repatriated Russian Trucks Convey American Captives To Safety of Panmunjom PANMUNJOM-(A')-Truckloads of smiling but subdued American war prisoners reached the freedom gates today at Panmunjom, open- ing the eighth day of "operation Big Switch." Fifty Americans hopped from the convoy of the white canvas- topped Russian built trucks used by the Reds. They were the first of 400 Allied captives to be released at the start of the second week of the exchange. I the report, after weeksc secret staff studies, came froe a special Senate Armed Service Subcommittee headed by Sen ator Smith (R-Me.). It contrasted with a highly cri cal report from the same gro in May which said "there was needless loss of American lives" Korea because of ammuniti shortages. of m es n- ti- up a in on THAT scorching criticism said practically every responsible mili- tary and civilian official was at fault for shortages resulting from "inefficiency, waste and unbeliev- able red tape."r Yesterday's "progress report" listed "measured improvement" in Korea prior to the truce. It said "United States forces were able to conduct some of the heaviest fighting in Korea dur- ing June and July without fear of a shortage-of ammunition." The report stressed that for the most part the Korean fighting had been carried on for two years from ammunition stockpiles remaining from World War II. Ulbricht Axes Red Leaders In Four Cities BERLIN-M-Communist Boss Walter Ulbricht struck down Red party leaders in four big industrial cities yesterday. The Lenin-bearded deputy pre- mier, mouthing charges of treason, swung the ax against top Com- munist officials in Dresden, Mag- deburg, Halle and Chemnitz. S s HE RIPPED into the Commun- ist provincial leadership after dis- gracing or jailing 6 of the 16 mem- bers and alternates in the Polit- buro, the party's supreme execu- .tive, since the June 27 revolt. In the background was fresh East German labor trouble. Fourteen thousand employes in the Matyas -Rakosi coking plant at Lauchhammer, Saxony -East Germany's largest-are fighting the Communist blockade of free American food in Berlin with repeated work stoppages,J it was disclosed last night.- Workers who evaded Red police barriers to reach Berlin said cok- ing operations were stopped last Friday and Saturday, and have been crippled this week. EIGHTY THOUSAND East Ger- mans, half from the provinces and the rest from the Soviet sector of Berlin, received American-financed food here yesterday despite Com- munist efforts to wreck the pro- gram.

Grey To Talk On T-poscope A new electronic apparatus for the investigation of the function of the brain will be demonstrated by Dr. W. Grey Walter of Bristol, England, during his lecture at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow at the Univer- sity Hospital. This apparatus, called toposcope, designed and made by Doctor Wal- ter, is quite different from the or- dinary brain wave machine (elec- r l To Give Last Arits Lecture Last talk of the summer's sym- posium on "Popular Arts in Amer- ica," will feature well-known au- thor, critic, director and producer Gilbert Seldes at 4:15 p.m. today in Auditorium A, Angell Hall. Seldes will discuss "Popular Arts in America." At present a critic for the Sat- urday Review, he was director of television for the Columbia Broad- casting System from 1937 to 1945. * * * Dean Arthur Neef of the Wayne law school said that any faculty member questioned by a congressional group would be called before a special commit- tee of teachers and administra- tors if he tried to hide behind the Fifth Amendment. That would involve answering any question with the words: "1 refuse to answer on the ground that it might incriminate me." * * * NEEF said the Fiftl Amend- ment provides protection only for those whose answers really would incriminate them. "Other persons have no right under the law to re- fuse to answer any and all ques- tions asked by a Congressional in- vestigating committee," he said. "If he persists in invoking the Fifth Amendment he truly is in contempt of the Congres- sional group and probably would be disimissed from the university staff for lack of mature judge- ment," Neff said. President Hilberry said he felt the statement was of "tremendous importance" since it came from the faculty's own council. * * HILBERRY EXPLAINED that across the country there is great fear and unrest among teachers regarding their freedom to teach and study all subjects and said that Wayne University's policy statement will: 1-Allay fears of teachers about their position. 2-Make sure that nothing sub- versive occurs on the campus. "We are proud that our faculty has come forward with this state. went,". Hilberry said, "and we are sure that we have nothing to fear from investigating com- mittees." The faculty also planned to set up two committees. One would question any faculty members who invoke the fifth amendment and give them a chance to clear them- selves. The other committee would make a continuing study of the entire problem of academic free- dom and academic responsibility." THE FIRST AMERICANS, garbed in faded forms which indicated long months of captivity, PARIS - (A) - France's labor unions; furious over Premier Jo- seph Lanliel's economy decrees, last night ordered hundreds of thousands of workers to join the more than a million who have ham-strung the country with the second general strike in less than a week. * * * "EVERYONE'S clamoring to get out of the country," said an official of the American Express. "We can't keep up with demands for air passage." Cook's travel agency was try- ing desperately to care for 506 invalid Irish pilgrims, returning from Lourdes, who were blocked in Paris. An Irish air line was expected to send a Flying Box- car for 16 stretcher cases. In Southern France, 140 touring workers of the General Electric Company from Fort Wayne, Ind., were stuck in Nice, and American Express sent two Constellations to bring them to Paris. Rumors Say Porter's U' Visit Dubious The noted American short story author, Katherine Anne Porter, who was appointed as a visitingI lecturer in the English departmentI for the 1953-54 year, may not ac- cept the position it was learned yesterday. According to one professor, ne- gotiations are now under way with Miss Porter concerning the ap- pointment. He claimed that the situation is a little "touchy" at present. No further comment w s added. Miss Porter is tentatively sched- uled to teach a course in creative writing and a course in contem- porary poetry or literary criticism.

The liner United States is to arrive at Le Havre tomorrow. About 400,000 French railroad, workers, 200,000 postal, tele- phone and telegraph employees{ and several hundred thousand coal miners were out. The Socialist Workers' Force late today formally ordered its mem- bers in the public utilities-gas and electricity-to go on strike. Most workers at the big Paris gas plants and those in the resort city of Nice had quit anyway, without a formal order. UNIONS of the Paris subway and bus systems voted to stage a 24-hour strike beginning this morning. That means several hun- dred thousand Parisians will have to walk to work or take taxis. All signs pointed to a worsen- ing of the situation and a repeti- tion of last week's vast walkout of two million workers, which af- fected practically all sectors of government service. Government sources said offi- cials were busy throughout the day explaining to labor leaders that GILBERT SELDES ... Saturday critic TEARS OF JOY?-A group of North Korean women prisoners, a mixture of Communist nurses, wives, helpers and camp followers captured with Communist soldiers, sob and cry at Panmunjom in the fifth exchange of POW's. The 437 women comprising the first group of women prisoners staged such a violent demonstration that tear gas had to be used. France's Strikes Cause Tourist Pantic ed. The strike wave began last week in protest against government plans to raise the retirement age of many state employes and elim- inate many part-time jobs. The walkouts were launched by the non-Communist unions. Spending Cut Order Given By Eisenhower DENVER-President Eisenhower yesterday ordered new cuts in Fed- eral spending to reduce the pres- sure on the Federal debt limit and lessen the need for calling a spec- ial session of Congress this fall. According to the United Press, he sent an urgent letter to de- partment and agency heads ask- ing that "every possible" slash be made in current spending and that the brakes be slapped on bud- get estimates for the 1955 fiscal year beginning next June 30. * * * THE PRESIDENT also conferred yesterday for 90 minutes with Adm. Arthur W. Radford, new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who briefed the chief execu- tive on the latest world informa- tion gathered by the Defense De- partment. Radford later told reporters that while he did not discuss the subject with the President, he thought recent Russian claims of having their own hydrogen bomb represented something more than a "figment of Soviet imagination." The White House said the Bud- get Bureau notified all department heads to have their fiscal 1955 budget estimates in the hands of Budget Director Joseph M. Dodge by Sept. 15. blue Chinese uni- appeared healthy. The 50 men smiled as they hopped down from the trucks as each man's name was called out by the United Nations exchange officers at the Allied reception center. But there were no outbursts of joy, such as on previous days. The men today remained subdued. A SHORT time later, lines of Russian-built ambulances pulled up loaded with sick and wounded South Korean soldiers. Behind these came more can- vas-topped trucks with 24 able bodied South Koreans. *These men were calm and quiet as they waited turn to climb down from the trucks. Once again the disabled South Koreans formed a pain-racked, pitiful sight as they were tenderly lifted from the ambulances onto litters. HELICOPTERS whirled noisly by, quickly picking up the sick and wounded to rush them to hos- pitals. U. S. ambulances and trucks at the same time drove north- ward with their consignments of returning Communist prisoners. The North Korean captives sang, but this morning they seemed more subdued than usual. Some waved North Korean flags with a lacka- daisical air. * * * NONE OF the Reds had started their usual daily demonstrations of clothes tearing as they wheeled past the exchange point enroute to the Communist reception cen- ter about half a mile up the road. The Americans were loaded in- to waiting ambulances for the drive - to Freedom Village at Munsan, where they will take the first step in the processing lines for their trip home. Quiet efficiency set the atmos- phere in the exchange operation this morning as the exchange workers performed their jobs swift- ly and smoothly. . * * THE COMMUNISTS suddenly announced during today's ex- change that 25 Americans and 25 British in the last group to be released would be delayed 21/2 hours. Two hours later the Commun- ists would give no cause for the delay except "administrative rea- sons." s 0ss Seldes also has been a radio pro- ducer for CBS, and wrote "Ameri- cans All-Immigrants All," prize winning series on immigration and national backgrounds of Ameri- cans. He co-produced, edited and wrote the narration for an or-' iginal seven-reel news picture, "This Is America." Currently Sel- des is working on a new book based on the popular arts since 1925. Americans Bitter About Informers By the Associated Press Most of the 100 American ps- oners who were returned from Communist stockades Monday were bitter at fellow Americans who turned informer in prison camps and worked with their Red captors. The Army promised a swift in- vestigation of those accused of turning informer. Some of the accused were among those return ed yesterday. * * THE LIST of prisoners on the first day of the second week of "operation Big Switch" included 100 Americans, 25 British, 25 Turks and 250 South Koreans, half of whom are listed as sick or wounded. In exchange, the Allies will return 2,758 North Korean and Chinese Communists. Exchange officers again eagerly scanned, the lists without finding the name of Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, former commander of the 24th Division, who was captured three years ago while leading a defense of the city of Taejon in South Korea. MORE THAN half the South, Korean war prisoners exchanged in the first seven days had to be hospitalized. Many are near death, covered with sores and verging on starvation. Among the first 1,500 South Koreans returned, the Commun- ists listed 639 as sick or wound- ed. Actually 920 needed medical care. The South Korean Army had expected 20 per cent of the re- patriates would be sick or wound- ed. SIX, MORE Michigan soldiers were handed over by the Com- munists at Panmunjom last night in the latest exchange of prisoners of war in Korea. Michigan soldiers freed by the Communists last night included: Cpl. Richard G. Flattley, Mar- quette; Cpl. Steven E. Magiera Flint; Cpl. Dallas W. Mossman, Flint; Pfc. Laurence A. Rix, Dow- agiac; Cpl. Gilbert J. Broughton, Wyandotte; Sgt. William M. Aleen, Lincoln Park.
