BERLIN. Sept. 17. <U.E> — A Russian lieutenant and five Red army soldiers armed with tommyguns tried to take a Pole and a Ukrainian from American military police near Tempelhof airdrome Saturday night and a pitched battle was narrowly avoided, United States military intelligence officers disclosed today.
“It was the mast serious rift yet between United States and Russian army personnel," one officer said.
The Russian lieutenant not only ordered his five men to cover Lt. Col. Robert M Cheal of San Francisco, commanding American M.P.s in Berlin, and other high ranking United States officers; he also cursed and shouted: “American are unworthy oi being Allies of the Red army!”
At one point, the Russian lieutenant, named Morosov, threatened to call out a company of Red troops to “fight it out.” At the height of the argument, he received a telephone call from Berlin central kommandatura — the four-power command of the city — to take his‘ men and leave.
United States army intelligence told of the trouble today when Benia Girago, one of the prisoners the Russians wanted to take, was turned over to the Red army, after a request “through proper channels.” She admitted she was a Ukrainian who had spent the war years in Berlin.
But American officers refused to turn over Micael Bolinski. a Pole, who was Benia Girago’s common-law husband. Inasmuch as he is Polish, the United States army failed to see how he could have been a “traitor” to the Soviet, as the Russians claimed.
They were arrested by both American and Russian military police in the American sector and taken to an American jail. A Russian major named Karamatzov demanded that the prisoners be turned over to the Russians.
He said, even before the prisoners had been questioned, that thej were “Russian traitors’’ and the R?d army was entitled to sole custody of them. American officers refused to let him have them.
Karamatzov then ordered Moro* sov and a detail of five Red so*, diers to get the prisoners. They went to the military police station near the airdrome and Morosov asked for the prisoners. Again, American officers refused.
State Organization Established to Study Delinquency Control
The first program of its kind to be established in the west, the Delinquency Control institute, headed by Capt. Robert W. Bowling, will get under way at SC Oct. 14. according to an announcement by Emery E. Olson, dean of the School of Public Administration.
Sponsored by six state-wide organizations including the California Youth authority, the institute will be a three-year training program for law enforcement officers.
Thirty workers from juvenile bureaus, police and probation departments will be trained by institute during each 16-week term on fulltime basis each year for the three-year period.
Captain Bowling, currently on a year's leave of absence from the Los Angeles police department, has been director of the juvenile division for the past three and one half years.
Assisting Captain Bowling will be Dr. Howell V. Williams, formerly with the U.S. bureau of prisons and the U.S. children's bureau, who will serve as research associate. Dan G. Pursuit, a probation officer for the past seven years, will act as field
supervisor. ’
Given a special leave so that he might direct the institute. Captain Bowling, a graduate of SC. is well-known for his excellent work in juvenile delinquency locally.
The institute represents the combined thinking and planning of outstanding leaders throughout the state of California. Law enforcement officials and youth welfare workers have cooperated closely with educators to draw up the course of instruction.

Co-op Croup Opens Eatery
Crowded conditions in SC's too few eateries hold no fear for one campus group — the student luncheon cooperative. Good food at the minimum expense is the rule of the day every day as the group meets for lunch in the basement of the University Methodist church, 8817 west 34t street.
No labor problems are foreseen for the organization, since cooking, dishwashing, and buying the food are all taken care of by the
members. Co-op students pay 35 cents for each meal plus an hour a week on KP, which consists of cooking, serving, or clean-up work.
Visitors to the daily luncheons are invited, and will be charged 50 cents for each meal. Three such visits are authorized for non-members without joining the group.
A capacity of 50 has been set for the club, but applications In excess of that number will be placed on a waiting list. Prospective members are invited to attend one of the noon meetings, since casts and individual work requirements will decrease as membership in-

ed before the United Nations security council today that to return Polish-Silesia to a still-Nazi Germany would embroil the world in “a new war of conquest.”
Lange declared Poland s unalterable opposition to any change in Polands' new western boundary — drawn at Potsdam — and added flatly:
“We shall not yield.”
In an action unprecedented in council sessions, Lange, who is also Polish ambassador to this country, interrupted his speech on the Breek
Speaking in restrained tones and without mentioning Byrnes by name, Lange said:
“It has been proposed recently that we cede the industrial region of Silesia to Germany in order to provide a reactionary, unregenerate Germany with an arsenal in which tc prepare a new war of conquest against the nations of eastern Europe.

“The emergency in veterans' housing is assuming disaster proportions,” warned Arthur H. Tyron, director of the Los Angeles service center, yesterday in releasing the result* of a recent survey.
Tryon stated that pressure for the home that GIs fought for and are entitled to will grow for the next few years. One third of the cross section of veterans interviewed at the center during a month's period expect to build within the next five years.
Adding to the critical situation already existent in this area is the tremendous influx of veterans into Los Angeles. This tremendous daily in-migration has not been taken into consideration by local and national authorities, Tyron declared.
In order to meet veteran needs, non-essential commercial constructions must be immediately curtailed, and a 9ong range program be developed to take care of the continued demand, Tyron said.
Results of the survey also showed that only 7 per cent of veterans interviewed are building at present and that another 7 per cent owned their own homes.
Tyron pointed out that these figures, coupled with the immediate need for 135.000 homes in Los Angeles, estimated by the Citizens' Housing council, indicate that this problem is here for a long time.
The survey, initiated by the AFL rehabilitation office in the service center was conducted with the cooperation of the other 17 member organizations.
An opportunity to pop the many questions that need answering about the Veterans administration, the university veteran's coordinator, and the GI bill of rights to the right men will be offered at tomorrow's 3:15 Trovet meeting in 101 Harris Hall, Jesse Unruh, president announced yesterday The meeting, which will be the initial one for Trovets this semester. will be open to al veterans, Unruh said and will be strictly informal.
Unruh revealed that the meeting will 'open with an introduction of the semester officers, announcements of impending events and the semester's program.
NEED FOR VETS This will be follower by a speech by Robert Woodworth, vice-presi-dent and membership chairman, on the need for a strong veteran's group on campus.
Dr. P. A. Libby, veteran’s coordinator. and Mr. G. L. Holmes of the Veterans administration will then make their appearance and short speeches on the V. A. setup on campus.
The meeting will then be thrown open to the audience, and Dr. Libby and Mr. Holmes will then answer any question which quizzical vets may wbh to ask.
CLEAR UP DOUBTS "This should provide an ideal opportunity for those veterans who are still puzzled as to the function of the VA. the intricacies of the GI bill of rights, and their rights and limitations as student veterans to clear any doubts they may have, Unruh declared.
“We wish to especially invite veterans who are not members of Trovets to attend this meeting to

Marchers, Clee Club to Combine For Novel Flag and Banner Unit
Gridiron pageantry will reach unparalleled heights at SC this season, with never-before attempted formations and productions to mark pre-game and half-time activities.
Plans for a spectacular flag unit to precede the Trojan band and mens’ glee club at athletic events will add color
■------- and beauty to dwarf that of past
years, according to William H. Gould, director of the Trojan band and glee clubs. The flag unit will include a bank of three men carrying national, state, and band flags, immediately preceeding eight heraldic trumpeters. They will, in turn, be followed by band members bearing the eight monogrammed banners of the schools and colleges of the Pacific coast conference. NtW UNIFORMS Following this group will march the band itself, 175 strong, and re-splendant in new uniforms of cardinal and gold. Directly behind the band, the Trojan "mens’ glee club will follow in contrasting uniforms. The glee club, with an estimated membership of 100, will sing and aid in formations.
First large rehearsal for the band is scheduled for 7 tonight in the Cinema, Music, and Arts building at 35th street and Hoover. Prospective new members are urged to audition at the rehearsal tonight, or during the rest of this week, said Gould.
510 DEPOSIT Bard uniforms are issued to all members and include coat, cap, trousers and tie. Members deposit $10 on the uniforms, refundable when they are turned in.
In addition to athletic events, Mr. Gould has planned a full schedule for the band in the southland, including intra-band social events, concerts, the spring tour, and appearance at the annual Palm Springs Circus day parade. AUDITIONING There are 100 gold uniforms to be filled for the Trojan mens’ glee club as well, continued Gould. Men interested in singing with the group mav audition any afternoon this week between 3:15 and 5 in the Cinema. Music, and Arts building, or next Tuesday evening at 7. Glee club rehearsals will also be held in the Cinema. Music, and Arts building. “The only requisite for membership in the Trojan glee club is the earnest desire to sing,” stated Gould.
The mens’ glee club is slated for a number of engagements in addition to the athletic events, one of which is participation in an operetta to be presented this year.
The addition of the flag unit and glee club to the activities of the Trojan band will bring the total number of students participating in on-the-field football programs to approximately 382, a vast increase over past years.
The initiation was also marked by the return to the campus of Robert L. Ryan, grand national president, who started his career here as the house adviser.
In a short speech of acceptance Arnold said:
“Of all the cups and kej’s to cities that I have ever been given. I shall prize this pin more than any other and shall always wear it.” Joe Holt, president, officiated at the traditional candlelight banquet and initiation which made the following men active members of the chapter:
Rex Reno, George Hall, Frank Hand, Wayne McCoy, Pete Clower. Harry Constantus, Burt Lowe, Larry Kuhn, Bob Van Buren. Jim Sullivan. Jean Valerel, Joe Arnold, and George Rosso.
