This is time Of rumors, OF

Reveal Critical
Housing Shortage
at u of Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Aug. =
(P)-University of Michigan are
faced with a critical housing
shortage that requires drastic
steps for immediate solution.
That was the report filed to-
day by special University fact
finding committee which has
made a detailed study of housing
conditions in the Ann Arbor
area.
The group made no specific
recommendations, but declared
ANY solution to the problem
must come through radical
change in the University's ap-
proach to the housing problem. y
CAUSE OF SHORTAGE
The report. prepared by the
Bureau of Business Research of
the School of Business Administ-
ration, said the University has
lost accommodations for 1855
students since Pearl Harbor.
Some of these housing units
have been made into apartments,
while others have been takn
over by war workers, the report
said.
One university spokesman said
that a student body of $500 now
appears to be the physical limit
of the university unless addition
housing facilities are found.
SEE SWALLEN TOTAL
He said University enrolment
in 1901, the last peace-time
academic year, totalled 12,05l
and that a far greater total is
expected after the war when re-
turning veterans resume or be-
gin their studies.
University officials said that
TO prospective student has been
denied admission to the Univer-
sity because of a housing short
age, but added that il some solu-
ton is not found they may BE
forced to take this step
One solution advanced was
the establishment of specialized
courses off campus. The spoke'-
man cited a four months class
in small business management
for veterans as an example and
said such classe could be held
at Willow Run village.

Atom Bomb City
Agog with News
Of it's Products

OAK RIDGE. Tenn, Aug. .
lP-Excitement continued high
today following the dramatic re-
Nelation that this war-created
city is the home of the Mighty
Atomic Bomb.
For the first time since the
vast project was begun slightly
less than three years ago, Oak
Ridge residents numbering APP
proximately $4,000, knew what
Was-being manufactured here
and the overwhelming bearing
il was expected to have on the
war with Japan.
Surprise was complete and
widespread when the secret was
first released in Washington
yesterday.
Newspapers sold here for a
dollar each. One circulation man
said 1900 were bought from
him within 35 minutes.
Thousands of workmen en-
ployed on the project heard the
news with as much surprise
and eXhilaration as anyone
else throughout the country. bu.
remained at their jobs without
celebration.
When newspaper extras hit
the streets in Knoxville, one wo.
man declared, I'm too close TO
Oak Ridge. l want to- move
away right now Another said.
now we've been told every
thing"
Recollections of the manner
in which the gigantic project,
sprawling over $4,000 acres Of
land, had sprung up occupied
almost as much conversational
attention as the atomic bomb
itself.
People recalled that Oak
Ridge mushroomed from roll
ing and timbered rural land
scape into Tennessee's fifth city
with more than 800 miles OF
roads. IS miles of railway track,
schools, churches, theaters and
recreation centers.
There was so much mud On
the project in the early da., 5
of construction, one newspaper
man recalled, that Oak Ridgers
always took off their shoes be-
fore entering a friends house.

Air Freedom
Issue May
Be Dropped

MONTREAL, Aug. % - R)
- The American-spon r e d
five freedoms" proposal for
regulating international air
transport, which has been the
most contentious single issue
facing postwar aviation plan
ners, is likely to be abandoned
and buried, it was learned to-
day.
This would represent a VIC
tory for Great Britain. which
has held out in opposition to the
United States on this problem,
the main stumbling block to
agreement at the world civil av-
iation parley in Chicago last
Fall.
Whatever hopes the United
States may have had of making
Its views prevail have virtually
died at the current session here
of the interim council of the
Provisional International Civil
Aviation Organization-the tenn
porarp body being set up under
the Chicago agreements.
The American proposal, which
has won little support among
the SO nations working togeth-
er to build world civil air or
ganization, may be rewritten in
compromise form, however, at a
new Chicago conference in
miniature.
The key issue of contention is
the so-called fifth freedom"
which would permit commercial
airlines to pick up and discharge
passengers and freight in coun-
tries lying between point sof de-
parture and destination.
Opponents maintain this
would give an undue advantage
to the Americans, who admit
tedly hold whip hand in the
matter of equipment for operat-
ing world services and in the
amount of business originating
at home.
