Jury Indicts
Credit Union
Offi cals
DETROIT (,P)-A federal grand
jury charged fraud conspiracy yes-
terday to six men in connection
with transactions of the Ford
Rouge Employes credit union.
Five of the group are past or
present officials of the $4;000,000
institution. All are accused of
fraud against the credit union.
A sixth defendant is part owner
of a bar who allegedly took part
in misapplication of credit union
funds.
One of Largest
The credit union, one of the
largest in the industrial credit un--
ion field in the country, is patron-
ized by thousands of workers of
the Ford Motor Co. in Dearborn.
Government lawyers said the
defendants influenced credit un-
ion transactions, including loans,
to their personal benefit.
Among those indicted were Ro-
bert Vezzosi, Dearborn City Coun-
cilman and former credit union
treasurer, and Charles H. Thomp-
ton, former chief cashier.
Awaits Trial
Thompson awaits trial on a
charge of embezzling $53,000 in
credit union money. Both he and
Vezzosi were indicted last March
for allegedly misrepresenting the
credIit union's financial position to
the Government.
Vezzosi is charged in one in-
dictment withimproperly helping
his partner in an electronics com-
pany to get a $7,300 loan.
In another, Arthur M. Bowman,
attorney for the credit union, is
'accused of taking "kickbacks"
.......from a borrower who got $37,000
to finance a roller skating rink.
Also named defendants were
Giusino Caprara, identified by
U.S. attorneys as a former mem-
ber of the credit union's super-
visory committee; Franklin Loh-
nes, former assistant manager and
now credit manager, and Giulo De
Santis, part owner of a Dearborn
district bar.
End of Austrian
Occupation Comes
VIENNA (P)-Austria's 17 years1
of occupation came to an end
yesterday, and the Allied Military
patrol of Vienna - "four men in a1
jeep" - went into history.
About 5,000 American troops will
leave Austria, with most of them
going south within the next 30
days to reinforce the northeastern .
frontier of Italy.
The treaty giving Austria her;
independence came into force
when France deposited the ratifi-I
cation papers in Moscow yesterday.1
Simultaneously it was announc-s
ed British and French tourists now
can travel in the Russian zone
without special travel permits. Fort
10 years nationals of the three
Western Powers needed the so-
called grey card to pass through
Soviet-held territory to Vienna.r
HOME THAT UNION BOUGHT FOR $160,000-This is front view of Seattle home of Teamsters'
Union president Dave Beck, which union bought from Beck for $160,000 and retained for his use.

ATOMIC CONFERENCE:
Four Faculty Papers To Be Read
Four technical papers will be
read by University faculty mem-
bers at the International Con-
ference on the Peaceful Uses of
Atomic Energy to be held at Gen-
eva, Switzerland, Aug. 8-20.
They are among 170 such papers
to be presented which survived
from an original total of 1,100 pro-
posed by scientists in hundreds of'
government agencies, hospitals,
research laboratories, educational
institutions and other fields in
this country.
Two of the papers will be read
by Prof. Henry J. Gomberg, of the
electrical engineering department
who is one of only six U. S.
scientists who have authored more
than one paper. He is assistant
director of the Phoenix Memorial
Project.
Peacetime Uses
Prof. Gomberg will tell scientists
from 80 nations of the work he and
his colleagues have done in two
or three areas of peacetime atomic
energy use in tracer research and
irradiation' of materials. The
third area" is the use of nuclear
energy for power.
Tracers are radioactive atoms of
an element that are used to pro-
vide information about sub-micro-
scopic living and inorganic sys-
tems.
In his first paper, to be present-
ed Aug. 18, Prof. Gomberg will de-
scribe how methods to pin-point
these tracers after their incorpora-
tion into a system are being de-
vised and used in University labor-
atories.
Parasitic Diseases
The second paper, to be pre-
sented Aug, 20, is co-authored with
Dr. S. A. Gould of Wayne County,
Mich., Hospital. It deals with the
treatment of foods with radiation
so as to eliminate parasitic diseases
such as trichinosis.
The other papers will be read on
the last day of the conference. One
is by Prof. Leigh C. Anderson,
chemistry department head, Prof.
Joseph J. Martin, of chemical and
metallurgical engineering depart-
v°
ment, and Bruce G. Bray, a gradu-
ate student.
The paper will be read by Prof.
Martin and will tell of the use of
gamma radiation to promote
chemical reactions of possible in-
dustrial importance.
Paper Co-Authored
The fourth paper is co-authored
by Prof. Lloyd E. Brownell of the
chemical and metallurgical engi-
neering department, and Joseph J.
Bulmer. Bulmer was formerly a
graduate student and is now at the
Oak Ridge School of Reactor
Technology.
The paper will deal with meth-
ods for sterilizing medical supplies
with gamma radiation and will be
read by Prof. Brownell.
Prof. Gomberg also has been
appointeda technical consultant
to the State Department during
the conference. He will serve in
"an initial group of persons who
would represent the United States
with distinction in discussions of
the various topics on the agenda."
Dean-Observer
Another faculty member, Dean
E. Blythe Stason of the Law
School, managing director of the
Fund for Peaceful Development of
Atomic Energy, will attend the
conference as an observer.
The meeting is being sponsored
by the United Nations. It will be
truly international, bringing to-
gether scientists from both sides
of the Iron Curtain. ,
Results of research on all phases
of peaceful atomic energy utiliza-
tion will be presented during 165
hours of technical sessions.
Give Figures
Of Enrollment
Enrollment in the University
Summer Session had reached 8,270

States last year.
No License
LANSINNG (ll) - Motorists
who drive after their licenses
have been suspended should
have their license plates taken
away, Secy. of State James M.
Hare said yesterday.
Hare said a similar law, re-
cently enacted in Minnesota
was "the answer" for Michigan.
He said he would submit the
suggestion to a committee work-
ing on improvements for traffic
safety and regulation.
Hare said the Automobile
Club estimated that 50 per cent
of the motorists who lose their
licenses continue to drive with-
out being caught.
Astronomy
Open House
Scheduled
"Radio Astronomy" will be the
subject of a talk by graduate stu-
dent Robert C. Bless at the astron-
omy open house to be held at 8:30
p.m. Friday in Rm. 2003 Angell
Hall.
Bless, who is now working on his
Ph.D. here, is a graduate of the
University of Florida and received
his Masters degree in physics from
Columbia.
'He will tell of the developments
in the last few years in the newest
field in astronomy. Topics to be
covered include the recent map-
ping of our own galaxy with radio
telescopes, the discovery of new
stars through the use of radio
waves and other related subjects.
After Bless' talk, visitors will be
able to observe the stars through
the telescope on the roof of An-
gell Hall, if the sky is clear.
They will also be able to see the
University's Planetarium in action
and see some of the interesting
displays that have been set up in
the past few years by the astron-
omy department.
Congress Blocks
Cadillac Jet Base
WASHINGTON (M)-Congress
blocked Air Force plans yesterday
for a jet fighter base in Northern
Michigan as a link in a defense
network against enemy bombers.
Chairman Clarence Cannon (D-
Mo:) of the House Appropriations
Committee told Secretary of the
Air Force Talbott the committee
recognizes the need for the base.
But the Missouri Democrat said
in a letter that the Air Force pro-
posal to build at Cadillac, Mich.,
would cost too much money as
compared with places in the Tra-
verse City area,
Furthermore, Cannon continued,
Cadillac gets too much snow and
has a 1,287 foot television tower
that increases flying hazards.
"Therefore," said Cannon,
"funds cannot be released for Ca-
dillac."
For 17 months the Air Force
has argued with Congress over a
site for the base, to station up to
75 jet fighters. Now it can either
renew its plea for Cadillac or go
along with suggestions by the
committee to consider Maniste
Kalkaska or Benzie County as the
site.
FIRST OF KIND:
State Folklore Program;
Presents Songs, Stories
The first program ever present-
ed to bring together the folklore
of all the ethnic groups in the
state, was presented here last'
night.
Under the direction of Prof. Iv-
an Walton of the Engineering
School, the program included
songs, stories and dances.
Prof. Walton opened the ses-
sion with a short speech on the
origins and growth of folklore and
the values that can be gained,
from it.#
Lumbering Songs
William Bender, script editor
for WUOM, then sang four songs,
three of them from the lumber
camps of early Michigan and the
other an immigrant ballad which
grew out of an English song dat-
ing back to the time of Shakes-
peare.
The humor of Michigan was
shown in the tall tales in dialects
as told by Walter F. Gries.
Gries, who spoke yesterday on
the future of the northern penin-
sula, brought out the contribu-
tions that the immigrants to the
upper peninsula have made to our
folklore. He told several stories
in the dialects of the French-Can-
adiens, the Finns, the Cornishmen
and the Scots.
Great Lakes
Edward Vanderberg sang some
of the old songs of the Great Lakes
sailors on the schooners, includ-
ing "The" Schooner Twilight for
Ore," and "A Long Time Ago."
Patrick Bonner, from Beaver Is-
land, theni played some of the tra-
ditional "fiddle" tunes, of which
no one knows the origin.
The program was concluded by
the Klompen Dancers of Holland,
Michigan.
The program was part of the
University Summer Session,-sche-
dule of events related to the theme
Forest Fire's
EnergyRivals
Atomic Bomb
There's as much total energy re-
leased in 40 acres of burning brush
as there is by exploding one medi-
um A-bomb according to Prof.
Kenneth P. Davis of the forestry
department.
If this doesn't give an idea of a
forest fire's destructiveness, Prof.
Davis cites figures which say that
10 million acres a year catch
fire, with yearly dollars losses
running in the 100's of millions.
He points out that the United
States as a whole spends some 70
million a year for forest-fire fight-
ing and prevention, but there are
still about 100 thousand fires each
year. About 92 per cent of all
forest fires are man caused, he
emphasized.
Michigan has on record some of
the most numerous -and destruc-
tive forest fires in the nation's
history, Prof. Davis warned. The
entire face of the Upper Peninsula
has been changed by fire.
"Thanks to Michigan's conserva-
tion department, which is one of
the best in the country, the former
staggering losses have been virtu-
ally brought under control," he
said.

... Tall Tale Teller
All-Campus
ISA Dance,
Picnic Set
International Students Associ-
ation will sponsor a dance, "The
Grand Cotton Formal," 8:00 p.m.
Friday on the third floor Rackham
Terrace.
Music will be provided partly by
Mario Mascarenhas' band and par-
tially by records. Both will be con-+
ventional social dancing rather
than dances of any nationality.
Sideshows featuring exhibitions
of mambo and tango dancing will
be featured and free refreshments
served. Tickets priced at $1 a
couple are availalle at the Inter-
national Center or at the door.
"United States students are es-
pecially invited.' It is a common
fantasy that the ISA sponsors ac-
tivities only for foreign students,"
Jim Sinek, ISA executive secre-
tary, said.
A picnic on a "diversified farm"
about eight miles from Ann Ar-
bor will be held Sunday, also un-
der the sponsorship of the Inter-
national Students Association.
Students will meet at 2 p.m.
Sunday at the International Cen-
ter and return to Ann Arbor at 8
p.m. Arrangements are being
made by the ISA's Picnics Commit-
tee under the direction of Hashim
Al-Saati of Iraq.
Tickets for the picnic may be
obtained at the International Cen-
ter or the ISA office through Fri-
day. They are priced at $1 for
men, and 75 cents for women.

College Athletics
Injuries Tallied
CHICAGO - Dying for dear old
Rutgers may be an exaggeration,
but college athletics do account
for almost one out of three injuries
to college students.
That was revealed by a special
study of student injuries at 11 col-
leges made by the National Safety
Council and the American College
Health Association and reported
in the 1955 edition of 'the Coun-
cil's statistical yearbook, "Accident
Facts," just off the press.
The study showed that an aver-
age of one out of nine students
was injured during the school year.
Athletics led the list of causes,
with residence accidents, recrea-
tion, motor vehicle and laboratory
next most important causes.
The average worker in the Unit-
ed States loses about 7%2 work days
a year because of temporary illness.
Murrow Film
The journalism department, in
cooperation with the graduate
school, will present "A Conversa-
tion with Oppenheimer," the Ed-
ward R. Murrow film, at 7:30 p.m.
and 9:00 p.m. tomorrow in the
Rackham Amphitheater.
The public is invited and no
admission will be charged.
