LXIV, No. 26S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1954 FOUR PAGES Senate To Go Overnight on Atom Bill No Amendments Says Knowland WASHINGTON (4 - The Senate late Monday night labored into what appeared likely to be an- other all-night session on the atom- t-. id energy bill, which it has been debating since July 13. "We're going through the night," Majority Leader Knowind of Cal- ifornia advised reporters at 11:10 p.m. Knowland noted that the Senate was moving forward in a business- like way in consideration of amend- ments, but he said he wants to fin- ish consideration of all amend- ments and get to the final reading of the bill tonight. No more amendments can be of- fered after the final reading of the bill is completed, he explained. "Otherwise," he said, "I don't know how many more amendments ,>we might have tomorrow." Knowland said when the amend- ments are out of the way, he will again seek a unanimous request agreement to limit debate on the bill. Ifthe is unable to get the agree- ment to end debate on the bill within a "reasonable time," Know- land added, "then it's another all- night session." He said he has little hope of get- ting agreement to his request. Knowland said Sen. Morse (Ind- Ore) and Sen. Langer (R-ND), have indicated they want to speak on the bill. The legislation practically re- writes the Atomic Energy Act of 1946. Among other things, it would give private industry a chance to participate in th" development of peacetime atomic energy, and would let the President have a freer hand in exchanging atomic information with friendly foreign nations. The House shot through its own version of the bill Monday sub- stantially in the form requested by the adrministration. The rollcall Vote on passage was 231-154. Cloakroom negotiations to end f-lufeldged filibuster" appeared to have failed earlier in the day. But as the debate continued a new pattern of procedure de- veloped and work on the legis- lation picked up speed. Knowland withdrew his requests for a time limit on the debate on two key opposition amendments, and Gore's amendment, one of those involved, was disposed of in about half an hour. Senators opposing the bill have been incensed by Knowland's pre- vious tactic of asking for a time limitation and then moving to ta- ble an amendment if there was no agreement to cut the debate on it. A motion to table is not deba- table. Knowland had succeeded in disposing of several amendments in short order with this maneuver. $2,000 In Fund Pledges Announced The Dramatic Arts Center has placed a pamphlet "Twenty Ques- tions and Answers" In the mail to a list of some 3,000 local theatre goers in its drive for donation to a $4,000 reserve fund, it was an lounced today by Eugene Power, President. The pamphlet described the aims of the citizen group which seeks to establish a professionally operated local arena theatre, childre ns'htae- tre, classes in dance and exhibit the work of local artists. Over $2,000 has already been pledged to the reserve fund but the ' Dramatic Arts Center Board of Directors says gifts must reach the $4,000 mark before final com- mitments for the 1954-55 season are made.

Lions Players Asked to Show The Ann Arbor manager of the W. S. Butterfield Theatres, Gerald B. Hoag, has written to Coach Cold Feet Cause For Korean End Syngman Rhee Extends Gratitude For U.S. Troops 'Coming to Rescue' WASHINGTON (P)-President Syngman Rhee of South Korea flew to Washington Monday with an outspoken complaint that the Communists were not droven out of Korea because "some people had a little cold feet." At the same time, he said "I still thank the Almighty that your boys came to Korea and to our rescue." The peppery old statesman-he is 79-was a notable exception to the rule that says visiting dignitaries should confine themselves to pleasantries when they first arrive. State Department officials were not disturbed, however, pointing out later that Rhee was sim- Kill Request For Added Cell Space LANSING (A'-The "Little Legis- lature" Monday rejected Gov. Wil- liams' request for $225,000 for add- ed prison space after a v i r t u a I name-calling bee between the gov- ernor and key Republican legisla- tors. The session wound up with Re- publican leaders telling Williams, "call the full legislature back in special session and you'll get your building -and Williams retorting "the activity of this meeting and ghe general legislature gives me no hope; I see no reason to call the full legislature under these con- ditions." Steam Roller Tactics, Williams accused the Republican- dominated "Little Legislature" of using "steam roller tactics" on him after the members objected to him talking instead of putting a motion to adjourn. He was the presiding officer. Lt. Gov. Clarence A. Reid told reporters the members rejected the fund request because they "sincerely" questioned their right to act. The "little legislature," or emer- gency appropriations commission, is limited to making grants for funds for purposes which the full legislature did not reject or could not have anticipated. 150-Man Dorm Williams and the Corrections Commission wanted $225,000 to build a 150-man outside dormitory at Ionia reformatory to relieve prison overcrowding. The lawmakers needled Correc- tions Director Gus Harrison for most of the morning about failure to make use of about 400,000 pro- vided in 1953 in enlarge and re- model the prisons. They also contended that the prison wardens had predicted a heavy increase in prison popula- tions as long ago as last January. That, they said, was proof the problem should have been submit- ted to the full legislature earlier this year and proof that the "little legislature" now is barred from acting. The Republican fastened o n statements by W a r d e n Garret Heyns of Ionia Reformatory as one of the reasons for rejecting the moneh request. ply restating a view he often has expressed. The welcoming party at the air- port included Vice President Nix- on, Adm. Arthur W. Radford, Sec- retary of State Dulles, Gens. Mat- thew B. Ridgway, James A. Van Fleet of Korean War fame, and others. Speaks Softly Rhee spoke so softly, however, that the official party probably did not hear his complaint. He spoke into a microphone connected with loudpseakers so far away that his words did not come back to the group. Dispatches from Seoul have in- dicated that Rhee, in his talks with Eisenhower, will ask for military equipment for 10 to 20 more di- visions than the 20 his republic now has. He also is expected to ask for more economic aid from the United States which is now providing South Korea with about 200 million dollars worth a year. Eisenhower is expected to ask Rhee to soften his antagonism toward Japan and to shelve for the present his dream of uniting North and South Korea. In saying that he tahnkeda~ji2 2,r America's sending her sons to help against the Communists, Rhee added: "Since that time the Communists have failed. They know they have failed and if we had only a little more courage we could have reached the Yalu. At least we would not have to worry about the unification of Korea. "But some people had a little cold feet and we could not do what we already could do. Prof. Powell Speaks At 'U' 'Cross Currents in Today's Latin America" will be discussed at the University next Thursday by Philip W. Powell, professor of Latin American history at the University of California, Santa Barbara. An authority on Latin American culture and history, Professor Powell will give his public lecture at 4:15 p.m. in Auditorium A, An- gell Hall, under auspices of the de- partment of history. He is on campus this summer serving as a consultant to Clements Library on a collection of Mexican manuscript material. Professor Powell has traveled throughout Latin America, both in government service and conducting research. So I Poked Him' CHICAGO (P-A 40-pound grizzly bear clamped his teeth on a 9-year-old boy's hand Monday in Indiana Boundary Park zoo. "So I poked the bear on the nose with my other hand and he let go," said Leonard Rader- macher, son of a Chicago mail carrier. The grizzly bit Leonard on the right hand when the boy crawled under a guard rail and handed the animal a peanut through the bars of its cage. A young companion had dared Leonard to do It. The bear held on to the hand, Leonard screamed. Then the youngster let loose with his left to the nose. The bear jumped back, The skin of Leonard's hand was broken. Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, Chicago board of health president, ordered the bear quarantined for two weeks to determine fi the animal is a rabies carrier. Indochina Whar fEnds Late Today SAIGON, Indochina, Tuesday ( cially in North Viet Nam early Tuesday after nearly eight years of bitter, bloody fighting. The French high command an- nounced the cease-fire agreed at the Geneva conference became ef- fective in the North at 8 a.m. (8 p.m., CST, Monday). From now until Aug. 11 progres- sive stop-fighting orders in other portions of Indochina are sched- uled to restore peace to the battle- torn country, one of the richest areas of Southeast Asia. There was no immediate official announcement of fighting still in progress when the truce order took effect. Monday in Hanoi a French spokesman said no details of the last hours of fighting would be made public until noon Tuesday. Earlier, however, the French had said the Vietminh on Sunday and into the early hours of Monday pounded more than 50 posts in the Red River delta manned by Viet- namese troops. The French said two posts near Hanoi, the war cap- ital in the North, had fallen to the Communist-led forces due to Viet- namese desertions. The French command ordered its troops in the North to stand fast and to fight only if attacked. The truce is scheduled to become effective on Auo. 1 in central Vie, o7n -nmtNaAug 6.iLns ug.ieA Cambodia and Aug. 11 in South Viet Nam. Total casualties in the long and bitter fighting approached the mnt- lion mark. The war cost France and the United States some 10 bil- lions of dollars. The struggle probably will con- tinue to exact a toll in blood, even if the cease-fire is honored strict- ly. Mines sowed along roads and paths, and in rice fields, could claim victims for .months. House Passes Flood Control WASHINGTON ()-The House passed today a bill to authorize future construction of some 146 flood control, navigation and beach erosion projects at a cost of $890,217,415. Passage of the omnibus bill came on a voice vote after the House rejected halfva dozen amendments. The bill now goes to the Senate where the Public Works Commit- tee has completed hearings on sim- ilar legislation and is slated to act quickly on the bill. U.S. Chinese Fighter Q STUDENT FEEDS SQUIRREL ON DIAG Pilots Shoot Down Ho use Tables Statehood Bill In Easy Vote WASHINGTON (P)-The House Rules Committee Monday voted to table a resolution to send the Hawaii-Alaska statehood bill to conference. The action undoubtedly meant the death of the legislation at this session of Congress. The committee's action came in a voice vote after a discussion of the bill in closed session. Chairman Allen (R-Ill.) and other members of the committee declined to discuss the action. The House has voted to givel statehood to Hawaii. The Senate has approved statehood for both' Hawaii and Alaska. I , Hot old Time CAMP GRAYLING, Mich. (P) -Indiana National Guardsmen had a hot old time over the weekend, but it wasn't on pass. Hundreds of the Indiana cit- izen-soldiers of the 38th Divi- sion didn't get their passes as brush fires swept the edges of the woodland camp. Conserva- tion officials said that tinder- dry grass was exploding into flame under the passage of bul- lets on the target ranges. One blaze covered three square miles Saturday night and other smaller fires Sunday kept guardsmen hopping. Michigan is having its driest summer in the last 20 years and target practice for the 38th Division may be ruled out unless there is a good rain. The division was enjoying its best summer training attend- ance in history with 96.9 per cent of its personnel on the two-week encampment. That amounts to over 8,000 men. Gov. Craig, at a parade, hon- ored Battery C, 150th Field Ar- tillery Battalion, based at La- fayette, as the state's outstand- ing guard unit. world News Roundup LONDON (A --Britain is consid- ering advising both the United States and Red China to show re- straint in the Hainan danger area, informed officials reported Mon- day night. Prime Minister Churchill was said to be gravely concerned at the situation touched off last week- end when Red fighters shot down a British airliners with a loss of 10 lives. American planes, on a search and rescue mission over the area Monday, shot down two Chi- nese f ohters when the Reds at- tacked them. Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden are reported wor- ried because they feel the incident threatens not only the basis of their foreign policies but also world peace. The informants said British pol- icy, as the Geneva conference showed, was based on the assump- tion that negotiation and coexis- tence with the Communist powers are possible. Coming so soon after Geneva, where some statesmen of East and West parted on good terms, the incidents have raised doubts in the minds of British leaders as to the sincerity of Chi- na's rulers. The British seem to think world peace would be threatened if Red Chinese and American forces re- main at length around Hainan Is- land. If the Chinese found them- selves engaged in any seri ousac- tion against the Americans, the British fear they might invoke their mutual aid treaty with Rus- sia-and then the works could blow up. SAN FRANCISCO (A) -A woman stabbed a priest at the altar of St. Gabriel's church Monday. Before the horrified eyes of a little group of worshipers, the woman plunged a 2% inch blade into the back of the neck of Father Bernard C. Cronin as he stood be- tween two altar boys saying Mass. Then she pulled out the knife, laid the crimsoned blade by the slumped body of the priest, walked to a rear pew and bowed her head. She was still praying there when police arrived. She refused to leave of her own accord and had to be handcuffed. Later Mrs. Natalia Avanzino told police that the tight-lipped woman assailant was her daughter, Jose- phine. She said her daughter had been "sick since she was 4 years old" and was "very religious." The mother was unable to explain the incident, saying her daughter never had caused trouble or been violent before. It was only by chance that Father Cronin, 44, was at the al- tar. He was substituting as a fa- vor to a fellow priest. Father Cronin had just bowed to the altar and stood upright when the woman, about 40 walked up behind him. "Suddenly I felt a blow on my neck," he said at a hospital where he is recovering. "I thought my neck was broken. I must have let out an awful cry. I thought I was paralyzed but they told me later it was shock. "I heard everything that went on though, even when they snapped the handcuffs on her. I guess noth- ing that fast has ever happened to me before." Some worshipers lifted their bowed heads just in time to see Father Cronin slump to the foot of the altar and thought he had suffered a heart attack. ichigan Draft Call Is 1,252 LANSING (M - Michigan's Sep- tember draft call is for 1,252 men- one more than in August. The State Selective Service head- quarters said it was the second largest call this year. Wayne county will furnish 485 men and the outstate counties 767. Planes Order Pilots To Shoot if Reds Attack Skirinish Occurs Over Lost Plane WASHINGTON ()-Two Amer- ican Sky Raiders flying a rescue mission over the South China Sea shot down two Communist fighter planes which fired on them, it was disclosed Monday in a force- ful U. S. restatement of the tradi- tion to fight back if attacked. jA Chinese Communist gunboat also opened fire onnthesAmerican planes but they did not shoot back at it. No U.S. Casualties There were no American casual- ties. Adm. Felix Stump, command- er-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, an- nounced that American pilots in the area have been ordered to be "quick on the trigger" if attacked. He put it in these words: "If any U.S. plane is attacked or approached with obvious hos- tile intent, it will fire back. "In other words, you don't have to wait and get your head blown off to fight back." In Washington for talks on the Far East situation, he told of the fight-back policy at a news con- ference shortly after the State De- partment announced the shooting down of the Chinese Communist planes for "their belligerent inter- ference with a humanitarian res- cue operation being conducted over the high seas." By "high seas" the department meant the atatck occurred in neu- tral territory. Secretary of Defense Wilson, in a statement, placed the scene more than 12 miles from the coast of Hainan Island, a Commu- nist outpost. The time was 9:05 P. m. (CST) Sunday night, which would be a daylight Monday morn- ing in that time zone. Douglas Sky Raiders All the planes involved were de- scribed as propeller driven, rather than jet. The U. S. planes were Douglas Sky Raiders. The Chinese planes were said to be LA7s, one of the fastest propeller planes the Communists have in China. The American planes were from Task Force 70, which sent two car- riers, the Hornet and the Philip- pine Sea, to help search for sur- vivors of a British airliner shot down by the Communists Friday about 30 miles south of Hainan. Adm. Stump was asked whether the American task force was strong enough to take care of it- self. He said he thought it was. Asked whether the Communists now would be more careful about shooting at planes, he said: "I would hope so but I don't know how much trouble they want." Three Americans Lost The British plane, a Cathay Pac- ific commercial airliner, was shot down with an apparent loss of 10 lives, including three Americans. There were eight survivors. In an outstanding rescue mis- sion, an American amphibious plane from Manila picked up the survivors from a life raft rolling in heavy seas, right in the Commu- nists' back yard. Red China, in a virtually unpre- cedented move, apologized to Great Britain, saying its patrol planes mistook the unarmed airliner for a Chinese Nationalist craft. A Pei- ping Radio broadcast expressed willingness to consider paying damages. 'U' Displays Atlases Friday Linguistic atlases, monographs and research journals will be on display at the University of Mich- igan through Friday in an "Ex- hibition of Recent Publications and of Work in Progress in Linguistic Geography and Dialectology."

This was discovered in the third annual Detroit Area Study being made by the University. Under the direction of Morris Axelrod, the study is conducted so that a sci- entifically selected cross section of the population represents the entire population. The median income of $5,700 rep- resents an increase of 24 per cent from the 1951 median income of $4,600. This is in contrast to a 19 per cent increase for the country as a whole during the same period. Thus, the position of greater De- troit as a community of relatively high family income was maintained during 1953. Professional Men Families whose heads were en- gaged in professional occupations experienced almost no increase in annual income in the 1951-53 neriod. atce '51 Study latively constant since 1951, while those in the $3,000-$4,999 bracket have declined from two-fifths of the total in 1951 to less than one quarter of all families in 1953. Families whose heads had six years or less of formal education increased their earnings relatively more than did those with more education. For example, median income for families whose head had six years of less of schooling was $5,000 in 1953, an increase of 43 per cent over 1951. For families with some college training, the median income in 1953 was $7,400 but this was only a 23 per cent increase from 1951. Median family income has in- creased relatively more for White than for Negro families. The 1953 figure for White families w a s $6,100, an increase of 27 per cent from 1951, while for Negro families it was $4,000, an increase of 14 per cent.
