Michigan in
Washington
BY Esther Van Wagner Tufty

An unusual delegation from
Michigsn-seeking support for sub
sidy and soldiers voting legislation
invaded the offices of the two
Michigan senators this week.
They had no trouble getting An
appointment. Both senators vel
coined such a sampling OF home
state opinion. Especially since the
group OF ten represented many d.

teachers, lawyers and servicemen.
The group was organized under
the leadership OF Ben Probe. sec
retary-treasurer OF the Michigan
Clio. Included we're: Ira Goodell,
vice president of the Michigan Far
mers Union; Prof. Carl o. Smith,
OF Wayne University, chairman of
the Detroit Federation OF Teachers;
George Nadar, consumers council
OF Lansing and Flint; Redmond NJ.
Burr. general chairman Pere Mar
quette system Division No. 80;
Allan n. Brown. secretary Nation
al Lawyers Guild. and two women,
Norma Kaplan. member of Sweet
hearts of Servicemen OF Detroit
and Mrs. Dorothy Strange, National
Negro Congress.
To back up their pleas for subs
sides and ballots for soldiers over
seas they brought along petitions
with 100000 signatures. ut took
two men to tote the bundle to the
respective committee rooms from
Senator Vandenberg Officer
Since delegations championing
one side OF such a controversial
subject as subsidies are apt to be
belligerent. it's not strange that
both senators mentioned first the
friendliness and courteousness OF
the group. AS Senator Homer Fer
guson said. "They want subsidies.
but they don't know how many diff

some not. They seemed glad to re-

son he was absolutely opposed to
subsidies. Now he admits to me
subsidies may be needed because

AS to Senator Arthur n. Vanden-
berg's position, the group left feel
ing that he would favor some com
promise. According to Mr.. Nadar
the senator is still opposed to the
subsidy idea. but still is willing to
go along since the White House
maintains 1t cannot hold prices in
