Expect British Leader To Discuss
Recent Meeting with Khrushchev
WASHINGTON (P)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday
invited Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan to Washington to
discuss moves to block Russia's drive to force the Western Allies out of
Berlin
Macmillan is expected to accept promptly, probably flying to
Washington late next week after visits to Paris and Bonn.
The White House said the British leader was asked to come at his
convenience. It had been widely anticipated that Macmillan would

Stage Riot
Over Story
LA PAZ, Bolivia (P)-Police fired
to break up a small, taunting group
of demonstrators rushing at the
silent and apparently abandoned
United States embassy here yes-
terday.
A Bolivian dentist in a side street
was killed by a stray police bullet.
None of the demonstrators was
reported hurt.
The embassy people had gone
into hiding to escape demonstra-
tions touched off by a Time maga-
zine article that enraged the Boli-
vian people.
The Bolivian government strove
to keep order but was newly-har-
assed by a strike of tin miners and
was under severe criticism of
American officials for the anti-
United States demonstrations.
Government Minister Walter
Guevara said the group that rush-
ed the embassy was headed by
Victor Villegas and ap order was
issued for his arrest.
Villegas was identified as a
member of the Workers Revolu- I
tionary (Troskyite) Party.
Other demonstrations touched
off by the Time magazine article
were mostly orderly.
Late in the day Bolivian officials
and businessmen paraded in new
demonstrations against the article.
Time's article said United States
aid has saved Bolivia from eco-
nomic catastrophe since the up-
rising of 1952 rushed the nation
"straight from semifeudalism into
South America's most advanced
social revolution."
U.S. Protests
Mob Stoning1
WASHINGTON ()-The United
States protested sternly to Bolivia
last night against stoning of the
American Embassy at La Paz in
anti - American riots that have
prompted movement of embassy
personnel to the outskirts of the'
city.
The State Department told the
Bolivian ambassador it expects his
nation "to take all possible meas-
ures to safeguard the lives" of- an
estimated 1,800 Americans in the
South American country.
But, department press officer
Lincoln White said, some 700
Americans living in La Paz "are .
being concentrated in suburban
areas where military protection
(by Bolivian forces) is better."
The strongly worded United
States protest was handed to Bo-
livia's Ambassador Manuel Barrau
who was called to the State De-;
partment yesterday by Assistant
Secretary Roy R. Rubottom in
charge of inter-American affairs.

CRISIS:
Legislature
Deadlocked
Over Taxes
By ROBERT JUNKER
State legislators deadlocked yes-
terday over proposals to solve the
state's financial drisis as the
deadline for placing possible solu-
tions on the April 6 ballot grew
closer.
Republicans favored borrowing
$100 million, with a one cent in-
crease in the state sales tax to re-
pay the bond issue. Democrats fa-
vored borrowing $50 million with
no repayment features.
Both borrowing plans, which re-
quire Constitutional amendments,
must be approved by the voters
April 6. Sen. Clyde H. Geerlings
(R-Holland), chairman of the
Senate Taxation Committee, said
any proposal for the ballot must
be approved by Thursday.
Equally Split
Constitutional amendments re-
quire two-thirds majority votes in
both houses of the legislature. The
Republicans fall one short of a
two-thirds majority in the Sen-
ate, while the House is equally
split between the two parties.
Sen. Geerlings said any action
to break the deadlock must come
from Gov. G. Mennen Williams in,
the form of a new compromise
proposal. The Governor is cur-
rently in Los Angeles.
Repay Debt
Sen. Geerlings said no borrow-
ing plan would get Senate ap-
proval without an attached re-
payment feature. He explained
the Senate favors a one cent in-
crease in the sales tax for the
next two years to meet the cur-
rent financial crisis.
This one cent increase would
repay the $100 million borrowed
to meet current state debts, and
an aditional $100 million to carry
the state until a new tax struc-
ture is approved. This additional
$100 million would also be used
to finance a state capital outlay
program, including University
c o n s t r u c t i o n, Sen. Geerlings
added.
Sen. Elmer R. Porter (R-Bliss-
field), chairman -of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, said
the outlook was "not very encour-
aging" for getting a tax measure
on the April ballot.
Under Consideration
A new tax structure for the
state, to insure adequate revenues
for future years, is not under con-
sideration. "We're trying to clean
up the debts we've got from last
year first," Sen Porter explained.
He added that appropriations
for next year to state universities
and other agencies - will not be
considered until adequate reve-
nues to the state are assured.

check will enable the University
to meet its payrolls until April.
Payments to the University

3) Acknowledged a need for
early negotiations to establish a
basis for settlement of such Ger-

a German peace treaty.
4) Agreed that "further study

FACULTY:
Condemn
Loyalty,
Oath Act
By NAN MARKEL
and RUTHANN RECHT
Loyalty provisions in the Na-
tional Defense Education Act are
an ineffectual means of enforcing
loyalty to the government and
should be repealed, several faculty
members recently agreed.
They also do nothing to rein-
force the faith of the American
people in the Bill of Rights, sev-
eral college newspapers also said.
The provisions ask the student
applying for a federal loan to
pledge allegiance to the United
States government and to deny
belief in any organization com-
mitted to the overthrow of the
government.
"Oaths deter only conscientious
objectors," Prof. Joseph Kallen-
bach of the political science de-
partment said.
Calling oaths a survival of "word
magic," Prof. Kenneth E. Boulding
of the economics department noted
"politicians feel they can exorcize
demons by incantation."
The Student Senate of Oberlin
College also objected to the word-
ing of the oath and the Senate of
the Universty of Illinois decided
"they are an excuse for more gov-
ernment intervention in education
and are beginning to infringe on
,freedomof belief."
Colleges Refuse Funds
At least nine colleges have re-
fused federalimoney because of the
controversial provision. Harvard
has agreed with Prof. ,Boulding
who noted that "these provisions
represent a residue of McCarthy-
ism. The idea that you can even
tell by an oath whether a person
is a Communist or not is ridicu-
lous." ,
The president of Swarthmore
College states "as an education
institution Swarthmore believes
that strong citizens in' a demo-
cratic society are produced in an
atmosphere of freedom where
ideas do not need to be forbidden
or protected."
Prof. Allen L. Shields of the
mathematics department indicated
disapproval, and noted he was
"glad to see certain eastern uni-
versities had objected to require-
ments of the loans. He was "sorry
to see the University hasryot
followed suit.
Denounces Oath
Strong denunciation came from
Prof. Edwin Moise of the mathe-
matics department, who said,"This
is the most objectionable loyalty
oath that I can remember hearing
of. This oath deals with belief
simply' in itself, independently of
speech or action of any kind."
"To make matters worse," Prof.
Moise stated, "the idea of belief
and support are much too vague to
belong in an oath that might form
the basis of a perjury trial. The
oath raises the possibility of men
going to jail on grounds of losing
political argument i3n front of a
jury, or because a jury thought
they hadlost such an argument."
He urged the academic com-
munity to speak for itself,
"Promptly and in plain language."
Even disregarding the "bizarre
features" of the requirements, he
said, receiving loans are no better
candidates for non-Communist
oaths than the other men, women
and children in the United States.
Several other faculty members
refused to comment.

U.S. Record
Slowed-Down Rocket
Expected To Pass
Moon This Afternoon
WASHINGTON (M--A tiny cone
made America's deepest penetra-
tion into space yesterday as it
lunged closer to the moon and a
hoped-for orbit around the sun.
Riding in the nose of a 60-ton
Army rocket, the 13-pound pack-
age of instruments continued its
flight from Cape Canaveral.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration calculated
the 20-inch-long gold-plated cone,
called Pioneer IV, had reached
107,900 miles from Earth as of
3 p.m. yesterday.
Halfway to Moon
That's nearly halfway to the
moon, some 220,000 miles away,
and about 36,600 miles farther
than an Air Force space probe at-
tained last Oct. 11.
Pioneer IV was slowing down,
according to plan. As of 15 hours
after launch, its speed had dropped
from 24,890 miles an hour to 5,675
miles an hour.
Although slightly off its in-.
tended course, Pioneer was ex-
pected to pass the moon about 2
p.m. this afternoon at a distance of
about 35,000 miles. Then, scientists
hope, it will continue-on to asoer
orbit.g
The Russians launched a space
probe on Jan. 2 and claim it went
into orbit around the sun, which
is nearly 93 million miles from
Earth. .
Eisenhower CoMments
A "splendid achievement" was
the way President Dwight D.
Eisenhower described Pioneer IV's
launching. He learned about it as
soon as he awakened this morning.
The Soviet news agency Tass put
out a one paragraph report on the
American space probe launching.
Moscow radio, announced only
the firing time without comment.
In one respect the space vehicle
was not traveling according to
plan.
Using a big radio telescope, sci-
entists at Jodrell Bank in England
reported the probe appeared to be
on a course several degrees lower
than planned.

"tAnybody who doesn't like, it

Clarification Committee
To Hold Closed Meetings
By JEAN HARTWIG
At its second meeting Monday, the Student Government Council
Plan Clarification Committee rejected SGC's recommendation request-i
ing open meetings.
According to Prof. Charles Lehmann of the education school,
newly-elected chairman, the committee "spent a good deal of time
discussing the SGC recommenda-Q

said.
A motion concerning loyalty
oaths in connection with the Na-
tional Defense Education Act will
algo be introduced by Al Haber,
'60. Driving regulations are also
slated for consideration at the
Council meeting.
The final report of the J-Hop
Central Committee is also on the
agenda. In addition to explaining
the financial situation of the 1959
dance, the committee will make
recommendations concerning fu-
ture J-Hops, Wise added.
Also to be considered by the
Council is a motion to invite the
candidates for the Board of Re-
gents to attend an SGC meeting.
SGC will also consider a motion
to establish counseling office files.
Tabled last week because it was
submitted too late for considera-
tion by the Council, the bill will
again be proposed by Ron Gregg,
'60.

As Discoverer I went officially undiscovered for the fourth consecu-
tive day, a well known space authority here had some comments on the
"why" of the United States' first attempt to orbit a satellite on a polar
path.
A polar-orbiting satellite should be able to give us a more complete
picture of the earth's surface, Nelson Spencer, an electrical engineering
department research engineer, said yesterday.
Data gathered from recent firings on the usual equatorial orbit
path revealed the earthnay be pear-shaped.
May Cover Entire Earth
If properly orbiting, Discoverer I will probably cover the earth's
entire surface, Spencer said.
Spencer has worked on rocket exploration of outer space at the
University since 1946.
As of last night, only faint signals from the 1,300-pound Air Force
satellite were 'believed to have been picked up by a tracking station
in Ithaca, N.Y., the Associated Press reported. Engineers there said
they had "confirmed tentatively" reception of ionization radio signals{
reflected from the satellite's trail.
