Willow Run
Not
For Kaiser

When the Kaiser-Fraser Co. I'm

automotive production, and employs
what has been announced 10 be 90
600 workers at peak production
these workers will have TO find
other places 10 live than at the
Willow Run Housing project, it has
been disclosed. Living quarters
are only available TO returned vet
Grams and the families OF service
men, according to II. V. Bentlinger,
manager OF the project. None Of
the previous residents are being
removed, however.
Negotiations are being made
through Washington channels to
utilize the project. which originally
cost more than $17,000,000, as a
residence for the returning veter-
ans who are going to the University
of Michigan under the CT Bill OF
Rights and greatly overtaxing the
schools housing facilities.
Announcements of the Universe
tvs efforts to acquire the project,
which will accommodate more than
10000 people, was made by Marvin
Niehuss, vice president of the Uni
versity. Over 1000 veterans are
expected to enroll and many OF
these are married. An anticipated
1855 student accommodation have
been lost to the school by rooms
being turned into apartments for
war workers or otherwise rented
to them.
1t has been estimated that enough
OF the housing units to cover the
schools needs could be moved for
a cost of $4,000 and completed. in
about a week IL labor and plumbing
facilities were available. The hous-
ing project includes both prefabri-
Gated buildings and trailers.
Another plan is to lease the hous-
ing units and leave them where
they now stand. This would neces-
state the students committing.
Whether this can be done or for
how much is not as yet known.
Approximately $500 people are
now living in the Willow Run prof.
ect.
According to Niehuss proper at
tention to the returned veterans is
the University's first obligation.
A post war dormitory construction
program to accommodate 1000
single students and over 700 mar
ried couples is already underway
but will not be completed before
next September.

Qualification OF Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's authority was loked upon
as notice to the Japanese that they
will have TO obey American orders
without question.
Acheson's confirmation came yes
terday after a short-lived fight by
Senator Wherry OF Nebraska, the
Republican whip. Wherry sought to
sidetrack the Assistant Secretary's
promotion back to the Senate For
eign Relations Committee.
Wherry contended Acheson had
rebuked Macarthur for estimating
that he could get along with 100000
troops TO police Japan six months
from now.
In the sometimes bitter debate
that followed, however. the Nebras-
kan said his chief objection to
Acheson was that the latter seemed
to be fostering a policy for social
and economic revolution in Japan.
That, Wherry said. may take hun
dreds OF thousands of lives before
it is put down"
Chairman Connally (D-Tex) OF
the Foreign Relations Committee
jumped into the debate with the
assertion that he. for one is will
ing to 90 in there and teach the
Japanese that the will TO war will
not pay them dividends
Connally and Democratic Leader
Barley (Ky) said they couldn't
lind anything in Acheson's re-
marks disparaging to Macarthur.
Wherry retorted that there is a
campaign on to smear" the gen.
eral. Senator Bridges GRIND said
he thought that was true but that
he didn't blame Acheson.

joined Wherry last week in con-
tending that Macarthur had been
"insulted,' arose to say there had

There has been no formal men
