As a result .of a brief rain, wind and thunder storm in Ann

Ace Writer
of Mysteries

By BECKY CONRAD
Mystery author Kenneth Mil-

newspaper men.
"Maybe that's why I never went
into newspaper work," he laugh-
ed.
But Millar, who will speak at
4:30 p.m. today in Auditorium A,
Angell Hall at the second public
lecture in the summer symposium
on Popular Arts in America, is an

KENNETH MILLAR
..mystery writer
Ea . . ,
ex-writer of short stories, novel-
ettes, book reviews and political
columns.
AS A COLERIDGE scholar at
the University, he wrote his doc-
tor's dissertation in 1951 on the
pschological criticism of Coleridge.
So far in his writing career,
Millar has published nine mys-
tery novels, many under the pen-
name of John Ross Macdonald.
His first effort printed was a,
parody of Sherlock Holmes, in a
high school magazine. Interest
~ number two in detective writing
was due to his wife, who was a
mystery novelist. Millar did edi-
torial work on her stories and later
went on to write his own.
Third reason was Henry C.
Branson, "a very fine mystery
writer in Ann Arbor."
"Most of my recent stories are
of the hard-boiled thriller type,"
he said.
"Ideas come from actual mur-
der cases, stories people tell me
about their experiences and my
own observations. I once wrote a
spy book set in a background bear-
ing some resemblance to Ann Ar-
bor," he commented.
"But none of my characters are
taken so much from real life that
anybody has yet sued for libel,"
the author explained.
Millar said that "The detective
story, to the extent that it is to
be taken seriously as a literary
form, is an attempt to express
social and psychological guilt in
order to reduce it to manageable
terms or symbols and to purge it."
"But the detective story isn't en-
tirely a successful venture, the
tragedy is the proper way to do
it," Millar explained.
We seem to be rather short on
tragedy, and it may be that the
mystery novel is one of our more
inadequate substitutes, according
to Millar.
"One reason for its inadequacy
is in the form-it lends itself to
evasion and mystification, which
may be'one reason it is so popu-

Elsewhere in the area savage
thunderstorms lashed the state
from Lake Superior to Lake
Erie, causing widespread prop-
erty damage, and killing two
persons.
An undetermined number of
persons were injured.
* * *
CAPPING THE day long wind
storms; a cloud formation that
resembled a tornado swept throughL
the central part of the state last
nfght. The storm brushed the tree
tops in Bay City, felling power
lines and blacking out part of the
city.
State police said the tornado-
like storm originated .over
Houghton Lake and swept high
over West Branch before dip-
ping to the southeast to the Bay
City area. Then it veered into
Saginaw Bay where it spent its
force.
* * *
THE WINDSTORM brought
gales reported up to 100 miles an
hour.
Accompanied by heavy rain
and black clouds that made the
afternoon dark as night, they
hit all through the state, from
Ontonagon in the northern up-
per peninsula to Detroit.
Countless trees and electric lines
were blown down, and power fail-
ures hit all over the state.
Telephone service was complete-
ly cut off in some areas as the
storm mowed down trees that took
phone wires with them.
Housing Fund
Misuse Hit
WASHINGTON - (A) -- Three
House Republicans charged yester-
day that public housing funds were
used for political lobbying and
propaganda in California in "bra-
zen disregard of federal criminal
statutes."
A Democrat promptly challenged
the report and said its release now
was "a very unfair thing."
The charges were filed with the
House in a printed report by the
three-man Republican majority of
a subcommittee of the House gov-
ernment operations committee.
Rep. Hoffman (R-Mich.) heads
both the full committee and the
subcommittee.
Rep. Dawson (D-Ill.), senior
Democrat on the full committee,
said Democats had not participat-
ed in the report and it had not
been submitted to the full commit-
tee for approval.
The three Republicans aimed a
broad attack at the Los Angeles
Public Housing Authority and at
officials of the Public Housing Ad-
ministration PHA in Washington.

SL Call
The Student Legislature is
inviting all students interested
in working on summer projects
to attend a meeting at 4:15

S. State.
According to Leah Marks,

Red Army
Eases Rule
In Germany
BERLIN-()-The Soviet Army
eased its gun-rule of East Ger-
many yesterday even though some
worker revolts were reported con-
tinuing in the Russian zone and
in Poland Czechoslovakia.
One fire attributed to saboteurs
was reported to have caused ex-
tensive damage in an important
brown coal field at Bitterfield in
Saxony-Anhalt, and state secur-
ity agents made more than 1,300
new arrests in strike-troubled pro-
vincial industrial in East Ger-
many. .
THE WEST Berlin newspaper
Nacht-Depesche reported for the
first time that contagious anti-
Communist revolts spread to at
least seven cities under Polish con-
trol on June 17, the day of the
bloody East Berlin uprising.
The paper said the situation
was still "disturbed" in the East
German area which Poland now
considers her own. Allied sources
were unable to confirm the re-
port.
In Czechoslovakia, reports from
the Prague radio and newspapers,
indicated worker unrest there was
taking the form on passive resist-
ance and a stay-at-home move-
ment.
* * *
PRAGUE newspapers and radio
admitted that production in key
industries has dropped critically
because of worker absenteeism and
diplomats in Vienna speculated
that workers who clashed with po-
lice in bloody riots recently had
turned to passive resistance.

ROKs Score New or egents

Clark Calls
Top Level

Gains inFighting
By The Associated Press
TOKYO - (R) - Far East Com-
mander Gen. Mark Clark sum-
moned his top field commanders
to his headquarters yesterday for
secret meetings.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. J.
Lawton Collins is to sit in on the
talks.
* * *
CLARK'S headquarters said,
"There will be no announcement
as to the subjects discussed."
There was immediate specu-
lation that the top commanders
would discuss the complex prob-
lems they would face in the
event of an armistice in Korea
or that they might by laying
top secret plans in the event
the truce crisis with South
Korean President Syngman
Rhee deepens.
Meanwhile, on the battle front,
Souh Korean troops scored their
greatest gains in a month on the
battered East-Central Front yes-
terday.
They won back vital Lookout
Mountain and chased Chinese off
four other positions in swift
counterattacks against crumbling
Red resistance.
* * *
THE GAINS were in the rough
hill country where heavy Red
blows had knocked the Republic
of Korea troops back about six
miles in a little more than two
weeks.
They came one day after Al-
lied Sabres smashed all jet com-
bat records in flashing month-
end fights by knocking down 15
MIG 15s and running their June
total to 74 MIGs destroyed with-
out the loss of a Sabre in com-
bat.
An American adviser with the
South Koreans reported the ROKs
now well-entrenched once more
on lookout mountain and four out-
posts nearby.
"THE REDS didn't put up
enough fight last night," the U. S.
officer said jubilantly.
There was no explanation for
the slackening of Red resistance
on the East-Central Front.
Yesterday's sky victory for the
Sabres was history's greatest.
"Never has the issue of Sabre
versus MIG been so convincingly
resolved,". declared Lt. Gen Sam-
uel E, Anderson, Fifth Air Force
commander, in a triumphant mes-
sage, to his Sabre pilots.

Douglas Fails
In Committee
WASHINGTON - (A) - Rep.
Wheeler (D-Ga.) failed to con-
vince a House subcommittee yes-
terday that Supreme Court Jus-
tice William . Douglas ought to
be impeached.
Three of the five members of
the judiciary subcommittee said
Wheeler had failed to make a
case.
* * *
WJIEELER himself apparently
accepted the idea he wouldn't get
anywhere with impeachment. He
said he would be satisfied if his
action in bringing the charges re-
sulted in nothing more than pre-
venting "tolerance from going to
a dangerous point."
The Georgian filed an im-
peachment resolution accusing
Douglas of high crimes and mis-
demeanors immediately after
the justice temporarily stopped
the execution of atom spies
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
Both Wheeler and the Supreme
Court have said Douglas had a
right to do so.
Rep. Graham (R-Pa.), chair-
man of the special subcommittee
named to consider the resolution,
told Wheeler:
"I am afraid that as a layman
you have not fully comprehended
the depth of these charges in a
legal sense which we lawyers
know and understand."
