Russian Leader Speaks at Rally
In East Berlin Before Huge Crowd
BERLIN (I)-Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev came to Berlin
last night and demanded the withdrawal of Allied troops from this
former German capital.
He declared, "order must be brought to Berlin." Then he went on
to define that order as acceptance of the Soviet proposal to transform
West Berlin into a so-called demilitarized free city.
Demands Recognition of East Germany
Khrushchev also renewed his demands for the signing of a World,
War II peace treaty that would give recognition to East Germany as a
state. "We are waiting for an answer (from the Western powers) to

Of Institute
By BARTON HUTHWAITE
Special to The Daily
DETROIT- A noted University
physicist urged last night approval
of the proposed Institute of Science
and Technology as a partial solu-
tion to Michigan's economic woes.
Prof. H. R. Crane of the physics
department said here Michigan
must multiply its scientific man-
power at least four times if the
state is ever to enter the "big
league in space-age science and
technology."
If established at the University,
the Institute would draw top sci-
entists from all parts of the coun-
try for advanced research work.
Prof. Crane predicted an invest-
ment of $5 million in the Institute
over a five-year period "could
bring $50 million from the federal
government for research projects
and $500 million in new industry"
for the state.
Plan Rejected Earlier
- The Institute proposal is now
before the Legislature as one point
n of a package program to stabilize
Michigan's economy. It was re-
jected by the Legislature last year
when University capital outlay re-
quests were trimmed to a min-
m n-mum .,
"We are perfectly aware that
right now funds are next to non-
existent," Prof. Crane said in his
speech before Governor Williams'
birthday celebration at the Ma-
sonic Temple. "But sometimes
when a person is in a tight spot
he finds it wise to put even his
last nickel on something that may
help pull him out," he continued.
"I sincerely hope that the
strengthening of science and tech-
nology in the state will be classed
in that category," he emphasized.
Need 'Concentration'
"If there are not enough sci-
entists, and scientists of diverse
enough interests, new ideas just
won't come;" Prof. Crane said.
"Scientists go where there are
communities of scientists; con-
tracts go where there is established
skill, and most important, the very
advances themselves are hatched
at the places of the greatest con-
centrations of. experts," he added.
"It's a circle that is hard to
break," Prof. Crane emphasized.
The noted physicist said if more
scientists and engineers came to
the state, Michigan could probably
lead the world in the development
of highly automated production
techniques.
Automation To Be Challenge
"The automation of ten years
from now, I am convinced, will be
so complex and ingenious that it
will challenge the most highly
trained scientific experts in the
mworld.
"I am also convinced that with-
in a short span of years, most of
the world's manufactured goods
will be turned out in highly auto-
mated factories, -" herevef those
factories are located," Prof. Crane
k said.
"There is no law that says those
factories are going to be in Michi-
gan, but by meeting the challenge
we can see to it that they are," he
said.

" our proposals," Khrushchev said.
"We hope the answer will be sen-
sible."
Khrushchev came here from the
trade fair city of Leipzig, where he
spent four days. His cavalcade of
more than 20 black limousines
sped to East Berlin from Leipzig
along a 140-mile stretch of heavily
guarded autobahn Tommygunners
stood at the highway bridges.
.100,000 Hear Premier
The Russian leader and his East
Gerian hosts, Party boss Walter
Ulbricht and Premier Otto Grote-
wohl drove to a giant rally on the
city's show street, Stalinallee.
More than 100,000 East Berliners
dutifully massed there to greet
Khrushchev. He is slated to spend
about three days in East Berlin
conferring with East German lead-
ers.
Before leaving Leipzig, Khrush-
chev warned the West of the perils
of a new war and, declared the
Soviet Union never would permit
the liquidation of Communism in
East Germany.
He told 2,000 trade unionists
from East and West Germany that
a small incident in the explosive
Berlin crisis could trigger World
War III.
"A 'new world war, even though
it would start in a small way," he
said, "would end in the fall of
capitalism."
The Soviet chief repeatedly has
accused the West of threatening
the use of force in settling the
most pressing German issue-that
of West Berlin.
Rush Plan
Considered
By JEAN HARTWIG
Spring rush was favored by 21
of the 30 housemothers and presi-
dents of independent women's
houses who replied to a question-
naire sent out this spring by the
Assembly - Panhellenic Rushing
Study committee.
The 28 sorority housemothers
and presidents who answered un-
animously favored fall rush, ac-
cording to the report released yes-
terday by the committee.
Based on this year's rushing
program, replies from the majori-
ty of independent houses favoring
spring rush listed more time for
adjustment to college life, better
participation in house activities
and more dormitory unity as
reasons.
Weather Negative Factor
The six houses favoring fall
rush felt that the weather was
better early in the year and it
was more advantageous to finish
the entire rushing program as
soon as possible.
Three primary reasons for fall
rush were listed by the 28 sorori-
ties which replied. They pointed
out bad weather conditions in
February leading to sickness, a
"fresher" spirit among women in
the fall and the scholastic advan-
tage in rushing early in the se-
mester.
Replying to a question concern-
ing changes in house attitude to-
wards spring rush this year, seven
of the independent housemothers
and presidents reported no
change from last year's position
favoring spring rush. Four report-
ed more approval this year and
four noted less.
More Tension Noted
Twenty of the replying sorority
housemothers and presidents list-
ed no change from fall rush pref-
erence. Three reported an "im-
provement in attitude" towards
spring rush and two noted a more
unfavorable opinion of it.
Six of the independent replies
noted more emotional tension in

With colorful costumes and many speeches, the Campus United

Krishnamurthy, after one minute of silent prayer, traditional at

bringing people of all nationalities together in order to learn how to
cooperate toward finding solutions of world problems.

show Sudan may have a political
explosion in the next few months
-possibly sooner.
Premier Ibrahim Abboud, army
commander who seized power last
November, weathered a crisis in-
side his army this week. He is a
Sudanese nationalist.
But he was forced to negotiate
a settlement among the delicately
balanced divergent elements in his
regime-the Sudanese nationalists
and the Arab nationalists..
Telephoned reports from Khar-
toum, the capital, indicate that all
is quiet now. Disgruntled army
units have withdrawn from the
capital.-
But almost everyone admits that
the settlement is only a truce and
nothingfundamental has been de-
cided.
The way in which this week's
crisis broke unveiled for the first
time the weakness of Abboud.
Two dissident army unit com-
manders-both Arab nationalists
-marched their troops into the
capital, surrounded the general
headquarters and practically dic-
tat d terms to Abboud.
Abboud came out of the crisis
by. reshuffling his supreme military
council and including the two dis-
sident commanders in this body.
He also dropped from the Council
some officers disliked by the two
commanders.

its report on procedure of debate

Following this,. Goldman readj
the resolution which was drafted
by Ahmed Belkhodja, Grad., from
Tunisia.
"Considering that world peace is
a vital interest to all nations and
recognizing the principle of self-
determination embodied in the
United Nations charter and believ-
ing that the situation in Algeria
is a great threat to world peace
we resolve :
"1) To recognize the right of the
Algerian people to self-determina-
tion and independence.
"2) To provide under the aus-
pices of the United Nations for a
two-year transitional period dur-
ing which the administration will
be transferred from the French
authorities to the provisional gov-
ernment of the Republic of Al-
geria, being the only representative
of the Algerian people, and
"3) That the future government
of Algeria is to respect the Rights
of all minority groups in Algeria."
Belkhodja Gives Background
After the reading of the resolu-
tion, Belkhodja spoke in defense
of the resolution.s I
Highlighting the injustices
brought on the Algerians by the !
French, he cited the historical
background of the present situa-
tion. Belkhodja said Algeria had
been a sovereign state operating
without any difficulties until 1830
when the French decided they
must conquer the ,country.
In 1901, the French succeeded
in crushing the armed resistance
but the Algerians have never lost
the hope of regaining their inde-
pendence.

Double Triumph

Special to The Daily
MADISON - Michigan's sopho-
more-studded track team got "im-
possible" performances from its
ranks as it upset Illinois for the
Big Ten title here yesterday in one
of the greatest comebacks in Mich-
igan Conference history..
The Wolverines piled up a 71-
point total by placing in 14 of the
15 'events while the defending
champion, Illinois, could compile
only 48.
Far back in third place was Ohio
State with 25%, followed by In-
diana, 25%/; Wisconsin, 16%;
Michigan State 13/4; Purdue 104;
Iowa, 4; and Northwestern 2z.
'Clutch' Performance
"Every Michigan man did great
in the qualifying round (Friday),
then came out and did better in
the finals," said Coach Don Can-
ham, who told reporters that they
would never see another clutch
performance like it.
Phil Diamond of Ann Arbor, one
of America's outstanding track
authorities and a follower of Big
Ten meets for 41 years, said it was
"an impossible feat according to
the form sheet." His post-qualify-
ing round figures show that peak
performances would result in a
maximum of 60 points for the
Wolverines.
However, the unexpected per-
formances of the 11 sophomores
opened the door to Michigan's 23rd
crown.
Sops Star
Spearheaded by record-shatter-
ing Tom Robinson, the sophomores
out-scored Illinois by themselves
as they amassed 511/2 points. The
yearlings gained four of Michigan's
half-dozen firsts.
Robinson, the meet's only double
winner, lowered the 300-yd. dash
record by half second and ran his
second and third straight 6:1
clockings in the 60, the first man
in history to accomplish such a
triple.
The 300 time of 30:3 sniashed
the Conference- record held by
Ralph Fessenden (Illinois, 1955)
and himself (Friday night). The
6:1 time again matched the Big
Ten best by Jesse OweI)s (Ohio
State, 1935) and Sam Stoller
(Michigan, 1936).
Seth Upsets Kerr
Other yearling winners were
Tony Seth, with a startling 880
upset over Illinois' George Kerr,
and Les Bird, who annexed the
broad jump crown Friday evening.
But the sophomores didn't steal
the whole show. Captain Mamon
Gibson vaulted 14'2%/4" to tie Pur-
due's Jim Johnston as both upset
Michigan Eeles Landstrom.

son they have had since 1948.
But all present did not have
their wishes granted. It was a
hard-fought game that was up for
grabs until the final 11 seconds.
The huge Gophers, with a front
line two inches taller-per-man
than Michigan, always play a slow
game and work for the best shot
and the best backboard position.
'M' Plays Faster
Michigan, on the other hand,
likes to play, a faster game. But
the fast-break did not work for
Coach Bill Perigo's 'M' men last
night, and any attempt at it re-
sulted in bad passing, traveling
violations and missed layups.
Forced to play the Minnesota
style, the Wolverines piled up their
lowest point-total of the Big Ten
season-and it was barely enough
to beat the rugged Gophers. The
game see-sawed until the final
minute, when George Lee tossed in
a driving, twisting jump shot to
give the home team a 66-64 ad-
vantage.
With 11 seconds left Lovell Far-
ris iced the game with two free
throws, and Gopher Al Lehman's
last-second basket didn't hurt.
Burton Sets Record
M. C. Burton wrote his name
into the Michigan record book
with his 14 points, giving him a
season total of 460 points. This
breaks Ron Kramer's record' of
450 set in 1956.

FOR GRADUATE STUDY:
Pharmacy College Receives Construction Grant
By PHILIP POWER
The pharmacy college has .received a $322,000 grant from the
National Institute of Health toward the construction of an $800,000
research building.
The University is planning to start construction on the four-story
building this summer. Its completion is set for the summer of 1960.
The new structure, which is to be erected on the Church Street
side of the East Medical Building in the area now occupied by a parking
lot, is the first building at any university to be used solely for pharma-
ceutical research.
Additional Sums Pledged
Dean Tom D. Rowe of the pharmacy college said that the re-
maining $478,000 for the building will be given by foundations, pharma-
ceutical manufacturers, alumni and friends of the University.
He commented that much of the additional needed money had
already been pledged, and that the rest of it should be pledged within
the next few months.
The building will be devoted almost entirely to laboratories, ac-
