ES-2613 Dr. Arthur M. Ross, vice president of the University of Michigan and former United States Commissioner of Labor Statistics, was found dead to day in a motel in Allen Park near Detroit. His age was 54. Dr. Ross had been on a business trip for the university. The death was apparently from natural causes, the state police said. Surviving are his widow, the former Jane D. Noble; a son, Richard; three daughters, Audrey, Marilyn and Leslie, and a brother. Dr. Ross came to the University of Michigan in July of 1968, after serving for three years as United States Commissioner of Labor Statistics. Earlier he was on the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley, where he demonstrated his ability as a peacemaker following the student demonstrations there. Dr. Ross, whose specialty was industrial relations, served on several Presidential boards in air and rail disputes and for atomic energy plants, and had been an arbitrator or mediator in hundreds of labor‐management disputes, ranging from strike of sugar workers in Ha waii to disputes in the automotive and non‐ferrous metals industries. He became United States Commissioner of Labor Statis tics in September of 1965, with the promise that the agency would provide more interpretation and analysis of the data it collects. The resulting effort, however, subjected him to sharper criticism than his predecessor, Ewan Clague, had received. In 1966, Dr. Ross warned that failure to speed the pace at which Negroes were moving into white‐collar professional and skilled occupations would raise their unemployment ratio to three or four times that of whites by 1975. In 1967, he added to the Government's statistics on unemployment what he called “the discouraged unemployed,” (those not actively looking for work solely because they believe the search is hopeless) who were not then counted in the labor force. Dr. Ross was born in Rochester, May 1, 1916, and graduated in 1937 from Harvard, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He received a Ph.D. degree in 1941 at Berkeley, whose faculty he joined in 1946. He served with the War Manpower Commission and War Labor Board in World War II and later served on other Government boards. In 1960, he was a Guggenheim Fellow. Dr. Ross published “Trade Union Wage Policy” (1948) among other books, and con tributed many articles to professional journals. At Berkeley, he directed the Institute of Industrial Relations from 1954 to 1963 and during the disputes with students in 1964 was chairman of the emergency executive committee of the Berkeley division of the Academic Senate. This group represented the faculty position in the confrontations between the student Free Speech Movement and the university ad ministration.
