EAST GERMANY: -
Khrushchev Sets
Unexpected Visit
MOSCOW (W)-Premier Nikita Khrushchev is making a surprise
trip to East Germany, possibly foreshadowing the next Soviet move in
the Berlin crisis.
The official Tass news agency yesterday said tersely that Khrush-
chev will visit the International Trade Fair at Leipzig. It did not say
when, nor would the foreign ministry give a date. The fair opens today.
The press chief of the Soviet embassy in East Berlin, V. M. Beburov,
said Khrushchev is expected to
KBenefits Not
Ftlly Used,
Report Say's
By KENNETH McELDOWNEY
The capacity of the nation's un-
employment system was not fully
used to support the economy dur-
ing the last recession, a report
released yesterday by three Uni-
yersity professors claims.
Over $7 billion dollars in un-
employment reserve funds were
not used, the report says. The
professors say if $1.5 to $2. bil-
lion of this money had been avail-
able the hardships of many of
the Jobless could have been pre-
vented.
These funds could have been
used, if state and federal unem-
ployment laws would have allowed
it. To 'make use of these funds
they recommend that the unem-
ployment coverage be extended to
include both employees in small
firms and some groups of farm
laborers.
Professors Listed
The professors on the commit-
tee are Dean Fedele F. Fauri, of
the social work school, Prof. Wil-
liam Haber of the economics de-
partment and Prof. Wilbur J. Co-
hen of the public welfare admin-
irstration.
Also recommended is that the
maximum duration of the bene-
fits be increased to at least 30
weeks. The payments should also
be increased to cover 50 per cent
Sof the salary,, they say. This fig-
uire would be reached in i period
of six years.
In order to equalize 4the exces-
sive costs of- unemployment in-
surance, in some areas due to
national economic conditions,
they also suggest that an equali-
zation fund be set up.
Recommends Extension
The committee recommended
that the present federal tempor-
ary unemployment compensation
law be extended past its present
expiration date of March 31.
In breaking down the unem-
ployed'by occupations the survey
found that one in tenmof the cleri-
cal and sales personnel were out
of work, compared with two out
of ten for those in the service oc-
cupations and three out of ten
craftsmen. The proportion rose
to four out of ten for those un-
skilled laborers. .
And the survey discovered that
the public felt the government
had done a good job, by a ratio
of two to one.
arrive in Leipzig Wednesday.
After Closing Meeting
This will be after a closing meet-
ing with visiting British Prime
Minister Harold A. Macmillan in
the Kremlin tomorrow. Macmillan
will leave for home Tuesday.
There was speculation that
Khrushchev might use the visit
to discuss a separate peace treaty
with East Germany, following the
failure to make any progress on
the German question in talks with
Macmillan.
Separate Treaty Possible
The government newspaper Iz-
vestia quoted Deputy Premier
Anastas I. Mikoyan as saying a
separate peace treaty for East Ger-
many may be in the wind. .
"If the Western powers do not
agree to conclude a peace treaty
with Germany," Mikoyan said,
"then this will compel the Soviet
Union ... to sign a peace treaty
with the German Democratic
(East German) Republic."
(East German Communist party
boss Walter Ulbricht in a West
German newspaper interview
backed the Soviet suggestion that
East and West Germany form a
loose federation. He said West
German "militarism" must end
before Germany can be reunited.)

Soviet Move
Over Berlin
BERLIN ()-An angry and anx-
ious West waited yesterday for the
next Soviet move in the Berlin
crisis.
It may come this week when
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
flies to East Germany, ostensibly
to attend the fair at Leipzig.
May Seek Way Out
Some Western quarters expressed
hope that Khrushchev in talks
with Communist East German
leaders may seek a face-saving
way to avoid the threat of a clash
with the West over Berlin.
But other sources felt Khrush-
chev will do or say nothing to re-
duce therising tension. They think
the 'Russians feel cocky enough to
stand by their demands that the
British, French and Americans pull
their garrisons from West Berlin
by May 27.
Point to Speech
Those who take the darker view
can point to Khrushchev's speech
last week that startled and an-
gered the West. It came at the
height of Prime Minister Harold
A. Macmillan's visit to the Soviet
Union.
Khrushchev renewed his warn-
ings against any Western attempt
to use force to stay in Berlin. Then
he said a foreign ministers' con-
ference on Germany, as proposed
in notes by the West, would be
useless. British diplomats believe
Khruschchev made his rambunc-
tious speech in an attempt to make
Macmillan give ground.
But Macmillan was not there
to gain or give ground.
Group Asks
Distribution
Innovations
By SUSAN HOLTZER
A recommendation to divide
social science distribution require-
ments into categories dealing with
larger-scale and smaller-scale so-
cial organizations is among
changes in the requirements cur-
rently before the faculty of the
literary college.
The changes in the require-
ments, which would go into effect
Sept. 1, 1960, were proposed by the
Social Science Study Committee
through the literary college cur-
riculum committee.
Other proposals set forth by the
committee would extend distribu-
tion courses into the junior and
senior years; remove the present
requirement of a two - semester
sequence in onesocial science; re-
duce the number of acceptable
courses, with the possibility of in-
stituting special new courses; and
encourage the development of in-
terdepartmental course offerings
to satisfy the requirements.
To Discuss Tomorrow
The committee report, originally
scheduled for a vote at tomorrow's
meeting of the college faculty,
will merely be up for discussion at
that date, according to Prof. Irv-
ing M. Copi of the philosophy de-
partment, curriculum committee
chairman. He said a vote will
probably be taken at the April
meeting.
In recommending the new group-
ing of courses, the Committee
pointed out the need for "some
diversification within the social
science .area," declaring that "the
most important division" is be-
tween studies of small and large
social units.
Elect in Both Groups
A study of 827 junior and senior
non - social science' concentrates,
the report continues, reveals that
"with few exceptions, these stu-
dents were found to have elected
courses, in_ both groups." The
change, therefore, would merely
formalize an already-established
principle, the report declared.
The Committee held to the prin-
ciple . that distribution.., courses
should be aimed at the non-con-
centrate, "to serve as part of his
liberal education, not primarily as
an introduction to concentration."
Because of this, the report said,
such a course "should have a broad
coverage of topics, should provide
experience in the methods of the
area, and ,should convey to the

POLL AMERICANS:
Medical
Stu dies
_. - ..
By BARTON HUTHWAITE
An overwhelming majority of
Americans would rather see their
tax dollar go for medical research
than used to land the first man
on the moon, a recent nation-wide
survey revealed.
Most Americans, a Survey Re-
search Center report released yes-
terday said, still support medical
studies in spite of a firm belief
that the United States is running
neck-and-neck with Russia in the
race for world scientific suprema-
cy.
More than one-half of the post-
Sputnik survey sample stated a
preference for medical science
when asked which of four projects
listed they would choose if money
were available for only one.
Few 'Ask for Moon'
Only three per cent picked
"putting the first man on the
moon," seven per cent chose basic
research in the sciences as chem-
istry and physics and 32 per cent
named studies in juvenle delin-
quency as their major preference
for their money.
Fifty-four per cent chose new
medical research as the most im-
portant area that this country
should be concerned with today.
Jack M. McLeod and James W.
Swinehart, assistant study direc-
tors, said the popularity of medi-
cal research can be traced to such
factors as 1) medicine is highly
relevant to the lives of most
people; 2) medical practice is
more tangible; and 3) the results
could bring benefits with little
chance of negative side effects.

The Rockefeller Foundation-
sponsored survey also indicated a
majority of Americans gave no
Stroke Kills
Playwright
STAMFORD, Conn. () - Max-
well Anderson, 70 years old, one of
America's most respected play-
wrights, died last night.
He suffered a stroke at his home
here Thursday. The Pulitzer Prize-
winning author died at Stamford
Hospital, where he had been parti-
ally paralyzed since the stroke.
Working on Musicail
When he was stricken, Anderson
was working on "a labor of love"-
a new musical play to be called
"Madonna and Child."
Anderson won the Pulitzer Prize
in 1933 for his play, "Both Your
Houses," and was given a number
of other awards for various of his
more than 30 plays.
Among those works were "What
Price Glory?" (written with Lau-
rence Stallings), "Winterset,"
"High Tor," "knickerbocker Holi-
day," Key Largo," and "Barefoot
in Athens."
Wrote Song Lyrics
Younger persons, though, per-
haps know Anderson best of all for
the lyrics of "September Song,"
which he wrote for "Knickerbocker
Holiday."
Anderson quit newspaper work
in 1924 to devote all of his time to
creative writing.
In addition to his plays, he had
written many movie and television
scripts, a book of verse-"You Who
Have Dreams"-and two volumes
on the, theater, "Off Broadway"
and "The Essence of Tragedy."
clear-cut edge to either America
or Russia in the science race.
Over one-fourth of Americansa
believed Russian science was
"greatly superior" to that of the
United States during a similar
1957 survey. The number who
rated the Soviet Union on top in
the science race dropped sharply
to eight per cent in the present
study.
Persons with a college educa-
tion were more likely to rate Rus-
sian science as "ahead in some
areas, but not in others" than
were those with only a grade-
school education.
Majority Heard of Moons
The report continued that over
90 per cent of the United States'
adult population had heard of
satellites by mid-1958 as com-
pared to less than 50 per cent a
year before.
But less than one-third of those
who were aware of artificial
moons thought the satellites had
ap immediate scientific purpose.
Competition with Russia and
potential use in future space trav-
el were given as other purposes
for the earth moons. About one-
fourth of thosemwho had heard of
the satellites were unable to think
of a real purpose, the report said.
Education Good Indicator
Education, income and the
number of news media used by the
person were found to be good pre-
dictors of satellite awareness and
purpose.
The report concluded that i
public is "less concerned w
what science is than with what
accomplishes."
"Shortly after Sputnik I, b
fore our Explorers and Vangui
were launched, the public a
peared genuinely concerned,"
report said. The successful Am
ican launchings seemed to ha
dissipated much of this conce
just a few months later, it co
tinued.

Aid Increase
The State Legislature was
strongly urged yesterday to heed
the "critical" budget requests of
the engineering school.
The request came in a three-
page report released by the Engi-
neering Council, the engineering
governing student body.
Calling the engineering school
"oversaturated" -with students,
the report primarilycalled atten-
tion to the lack of adequate class-
room and laboratory space.
Legislature Will Receive
Council members - at - large
Richard Martens, '59E,* and Ar-
min Jocz, '59E, who compiled the
report, said it would be filed with
the Legislature in the "near fu-
ture."
Prof. Glenn V. Edmonson, as-
sociate dean of the engineering
school, backed up the student re-
port saying "very serious prob-
lems" exist due to an "increased.
number of students and the great-
er demand on educational pro-
grams."
The report' called the Legisla-
ture's attention to "over-worked"
faculty members, "obsolete lab-
oratory equipment" and a lack
of "maximum development of
courses due to space and faculty."
Has Space Shortage
The engineering school has a.
space "deficiency of over 278,000
square feet," the report said.
Quoting a Michigan Council of
College Presidents study, the stu-
dent report said the engineering
school had reached its maximum,
for space facilities in 1955.
The report also said the faculty
"must be increased from the cur-
rent 290 members to 560 in 1970"
to meet this "critical .situation."
"In order to get additional top
faculty members, "the engineer-
ing school must be able to offer
them competitive wages and
working conditions," the report
said.
