One African nationalist was shot dead and four were wounded in a noisy gathering of 600 who carried primitive hand combat weapons in a defiant stand against colonial forces. The fourth consecutive day of fighting raised to 36 the official count of nationalists killed in clashes with colonial police and riflemen. Open Fire The big outbreak was at Mponela where security forces opened fire on the600 when they defied orders of a district commissioner. One nationalist was killed and three were wounded. The crowd was armed with spears, axes and clubs. A second incident occurred north of Mponela. An African was sur- prised there building a roadblock and fought a security police troop- er with a knife. Another member of the security forces opened fire, wounding the African in the leg. Troops and police earlier moved through the countryside clearing away roadblocks and repairing damaged bridges and telephone lines. Rebels Active Troops also fanned out in the remote areas of the central prov- ince, where rebels have been par- ticularly active. A number of Afri- cans were arrested for a variety of offenses, such as carrying weapons. The entire protectorate was thrown into a racial uproar by the arrest this week of Dr. Hastings: Banda, president of the African National Congress, an outlawed organization. Banda demands secession oft Nyasaland from the Central Afri- can Federation. He insists the Federation meansI domination of Nyasaland's threer million Africans, Foil Charter For Socialists At Lansing Opposition and lack of member- ship has stopped an attempt tot form a socialist group on theI Michigan State University cam-t pus. . The organized opposition to thez socialists came from the MSU Veterans Association and several Reserve Officer Training Corps organizations. These groups led- the opposition on the Student Congress against chartering the socialist club. The Socialist's second problem came from the need of 15 under- graduates to sign a petition to ob- ). tain a charter from the Student Congress Committee on Organi- zations. Of the 15 names that were submitted, eight were dis- covered to be graduate students. Later two other students with- drew their names. Recently here a socialist club, the Democratic Socialists, was recognized with no protest by the Student Government Council. Integration Protest Ends DETROIT (P) - The Detroit police patrolmen's protest against at least one and one-half to two weeks.after the resumption of classes." In reading the four-page state- ment to the group of sorority, housing unit delegates and Wo- men's Senators, Patricia Mar- thenke, '59, stressed that it was only one of several possibilities, intended to stimulate thinking and questioning on the whole problem of scheduling rushing periods. Tabulate Vote A majority vote will have to be tabulated individually in both the affiliated and independent groups Tuesday for acceptance of any joint r.esolution, Penelope, Rey- nolds, '59, chairman of Women's Senate explained. Each sorority and housing unit would register one vote. In! a point-by-point analysis of information in the recently released Assembly - Panhellenic Spring Rush Study, the recom- mendationuevaluates the effects of the plan on affiliated and in- dependent rushing and women not rushing. Small Change The conclusion of the commit- tee was that "only a small per- centage of girls changed their ini- tial decisions about rushing and pledging during the first semes- ter" and changes that do occur "tend to be toward increased in- volvement in the approaching rush decision, causing tension and anxiety." - League Asks Rush Change By PEGGY GREENBERG After studying the effects of spring rush on League committees and projects, the League Council voted yesterday favoring a defer- red fall rush. Barbara Maier, '59, president of the League, said last year's spring rush resulted= in a 35 per cent de- crease in women petitioning for League positions, as well as a drastically shortened period in which to .interview petitioners. There was also an inadequate length of time in which to train new officers, she added. The committees were handi- capped during rush, she said, by the high percentage of affiliates and rushees who were members and unable to devate sufficient; time to the League., Since the League is not a "step- up" organization in which mem- bers go through a training period, there remains only one month in, which to train new officers, she added. LEIPZIG, East Germany (A') - Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev told a group of foreign business- men yesterday: "I believe there will be no war and then the possi- bilities of peaceful expansion of trade will be still greater.'' While Khrushchev was putting the accent on peace on his third day at the Leipzig trade fair, an- other official indicated a high-level meeting of Communist leaders will be held in East Berlin in a few days. Cite Conference East German Premier Otto Grotewohl said it is "very possible" that Polish Colnmunist boss Wladyslaw Gomulka and Czecho-, slovak President and party boss Antonin Novotny will meet there with Grotewohl and Khrushchev. Grotewohl did not say what such talks would be about but there was little doubt they would con- cern a Soviet proposal that Poland and Czechoslovakia be represented at a foreign ministers' conference on the German question. Western political observers also believed the Soviet premier might want to give weight to his threat to sign a separate peace treaty with East Germany. Asks 'Peace'1 It was as if Khrushchev was determined to live up to the slogan, posted at the fair upon his arrival: "the visit of the Soviet delegationj is the symbol of peaceful coexis- tence." "We must ban war," Khrushchev told the foreign businessmen whoj were visiting at the Soviet pavilion. "Peaceful trade is the well of life, not armaments."t Khrushchev himself proposed the toast to Krupp, West Ger- many's biggest steelmaker and one of its wealthiest men. Sends Regards "I wish good health to Krupp and send him my personal re- gards," the Soviet leader said as he drained his cognac from a steel cup manufactured by a Krupp firm. "Production for peace is better1 than cannon," Khrushchev toldY Dr. Carl Huhdhausen, one of the Krupp directors. Krupp himself is not at the fair. The Krupp firm has a contract to build a chemical plant in thet Soviet Union. Khrushchev made a point ofI visiting the impressive Krupp ex- hibit. It is dominated by a steel structure about 50 feet high, crowned by the Krupp symbol of three interlocking rings in bright1 blue neon.E This symbol is also on the steelt cup from which KhrushchevI drank his toast. He put a cup inc his pocket as a souvenir.

Tashnick Paces Michigan Toward Record Point High, By DICK MINTZ Special to The Daily EAST LANSING-Tony Tashnick's brilliant record-breaking vic- tory in the individual medley and 200-yd. butterfly event thrust Michigan to an overwhelming point lead in last night's second round of the Big Ten swim championships. The Wolverines, hip-deep in All-American swimmers, captured 80 points to double the score on runner-up Ohio State. Indiana dropped to third place followed by Michi- gan State, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Purdue. Sets Two Records Tashnick led Michigan's 18 MADISON Wis - The 'M' ! t .

In fact, he touched only White House announcement that briefly on his mission to Moscow British Prime Minister Harold qualifiers into the evening's final with two American record-smash- ing wins. The reticent junior, who rose to national prominence in this same meet last year, even bettered his afternoon preliminary record performance with a 2:02.7 time in the 200-yd, butterfly and 2:06.5 in the individual medley. Tashnick swept Michigan's only two individual victories thus far in the meet. But the Wolverines, placing at least two men in the eight events on the program, piled high an insurmountable mountain of points. OSU Has Chance Ohio State has the best chance of catching the Big Ten and NCAA title-defending Wolverines, by qualifying nine men for the finals; Indiana qualified seven, and other competing teams were not repre- sented by more than three., Only a stroke prevented Michi- gan's Dick Hanley from retaining his Big Ten 220-yd. freestyle title and sophomore Ron Clark from toppling the 100-yd. national breaststroke crown from the head of MSU's Frank Modine.
