LANSING--The State House of Representatives appointed a 10-
man bipartisan committee yesterday in a final attempt to find a
compromise solution to the state's financial crisis.
Both parties called caucuses for 10 a.m. today to discuss the com-
promise the committee may have found in its closed session yesterday.
Republican leaders said any compromise borrowing plan to appear

Controversy
By KATHLEEN MOORE
Representatives of the women of
the campus remained divided on
the merits of spring versus fall
rush after an hour and one-half
deliberation yeserday.
Plans to present to Student Gov-
ernment Council the Assembly-
Panhellenic recommendation re-
instating of fall rush were aban-
doned when it failed to receive a
majority vote from the independ-
ent housing unit representatives,
although it was supported by 20
of the 22 affiliated delegates at
the Women's Senate meeting,
The resolution was opposed by
Collegiate Sorosis, Pi Beta Phi and
12 of the 19 representatives of in-
dependent women. Voting proce-
dure called for' majority votes
from both groups for acceptance
of any motion.
Present Motion
Mary Tower, '59, president of
Panhellenic Association, said last
night that she intends to present
a motion to SGC favoring fall
rush. Her decision hadvbeen veri-
fied by the affiliate opinion ex-
pressed yesterday, she commented.
Assembly Association Preside;t,
Pat Marthenke, '59, announced she
would be "representing the ma-
jority opinion of independent
houses as expressed by them,"
speaking and voting in favor of
spring rush at SGC. She said she
felt it her responsibility to "act
as a representative of her organi-
zation" in this case.
Much of the discussion centered
on where the pledge would place
her allegiance-with the residence
hall or the sorority-in campus
and house activities.
Improves Activities
"Fall rush has been even better
for our activities," an Angell House
delegate noted, because of in-
creased student enthusiasm at the
beginning of the school year.
A Pi Beta Phi representative
countered with the argument that
spring rush gives the new sorority
member more time to adjust to
house living and the freshmen
time to "become a little more
sophisticated and more decided
about her values."
To Debate
Fall Rush
Student Government Council
will re-evaluate the question of de-
ferred rushing for women at its
meeting today.
Mary Tower, '59, president of
Panhellenic Association,'will pre-
sent the motion asking for re-
institution of fall rush for women.
The Council decided on a two-
year trial period for spring rush
in 1957.
Debate at the meeting, which is
set for 7:30 p.m. in the Union Ball-
room, will be arranged so that
"anyone who has anything to say"
will be able to do so, according to
Mort Wise, '59, executive vice-
president of SGC.
Wise explained that plans call
for one constituent to speak for
and one member against the mo-
tion in open debate. The debate
will be for a period of one hour;
speakers will alternately talk for
or against the motion, and each
speaker may talk for only three
minutes.
The Council will also consider a
motion condemning the loyalty
oaths required of the recipients of
federal aid granted colleges and
universities by the National De-
fense Education Act.
The establishment of a com-
mittee to study the existing driv-
ing regulations will also be dis-
cussed.

Housing
Problems.
Discussed
By PETER DAWSON
It is "definitely a problem" for
Negro and foreign students to find
housing in Ann Arbor, Vice-Presi-
dent for Student Affairs James A.
Lewis said yesterday.
He was commenting on the Hu-

port on discrimination in Ann

ter, said she found "very little"
discrimination against dark-
kinned students in her work of
finding housing for them.
Difficulties Arise
Some difficulties arise over the
living habits of some students, and
"naturally" it is harder to find
housing for dark-skinned students,
she continued.
Republican mayoral candidate
Ce'cil O. Creal said he thought
time and education should be used
in handling the problem.
"We must avoid the pitfalls of
attempting to move to decisions
which are in advance of what the
public is willing to accept," he de-
clared. "Time will cure this prob-
lem best."
Lloyd M. Ives, the Democratic
candidate for mayor, called for
"good will, intelligence and cour-
age" in handling the problem.
Out of Partisan Politics
He said he believed "the basic
moral wrong inherent in racial
discrimination carries the issue out
of the realm of partisan politics.
"We must not, however, be
afraid to fight the reactionary ele-
ments of the community who will
seek to block any progress in this
field."
Cesare Valletti
TO Perform.

Cesare Valletti, Italian lyric
tenor of the Metropolitan, La
Scala, Rome and San Francisco
Operas will appear at 8:30 p.m.

Khrushchev
Talks Peace
In Berlin
BERLIN (M) - Nikita Khrush-
chev sat down with Communist
East German leaders yesterday to
consider a peace treaty that may
d i v i d e Germany permanently
along the River Elbe.
Khrushchev has proposed that
the victors of World War II sign
peace treaties with both East and
West Germany. But he says if the
West refuses he will go ahead and
sign with East Germany separ-
ately.
At the conference table with
him in East Berlin were East Ger-
man Premier Otto Grotewohl and
Communist. party boss Walter Ul-
bricht. An East German spokes-
man said they were considering
both a peace treaty for Germany
and the Berlin question.
Meanwhile, western diplomats
studied Khrushchev's proposal in
a speech Monday that Allied and
Russian troops, or some rieutral
force, remain in West Berlin to
preserve its independence as a so-
called free city.
West Berlin Mayor Willy
Brandt rushed to reject Khrush-
chev's new plan, telling the city
parliament it was a "fully im-
possible idea."
The 45-year-old Mayor called it
a bid to extend Russian occupa-
tion to the western part of the
city.
A responsible Allied source said
Brandt failed to consult with the
Urfited States, Britain and France
-who deal with the Russians-
before rejecting the proposal.
New Nations

students and visiting scholars en-

rose from 38 to 46 and Venezuela
from 58 to 81.

Sacr rPlan
Bill Passed.
WASHINGTON (-) - Without
a dissent, the Senate voted yes-
terday to authorize every penny
the Eisenhower administrationj
asked for stepped up spending on
civilian space research this fiscal
year.
Nearly half of the $48,354,000 in
the bill, would go into Project
Mercury, a program looking to-
ward space flight by man.
The Senate acted on a 90-0 roll,
call vote after hearing Sen. John
Stennis (D-Miss.) say "The threat
to our security could be disas-
trous" if an enemy nation beat
the United States in developing a
space vehicle capable of unleash-
ing nuclear weapons.
Cites Urgent Need
Stennis also stressed the urgen-
cy of "developing our capabilities
to put man into space."
Next stop for the authorization
bill is the house, where it is likely
to get fast approval.
The actual money would be
provided, in separate legislation
later. It would be used by the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration during the re-
mainder of this fiscal year, end-
ing June 30.
Senate Democratic leader Lyn-
don B. Johnson of Texas noted
the Senate was voting the exact
amount requested by- the Eisen-
hower administration for INASA.'
Denies 'Rubber Stamp',
But Johnson, chairman of the
Senate Space Committee, said he
wanted it khown this was no rub-
ber stamp action; that it came
after careful study.
Simultaneously, Johnson said
his committee has decided to put
off action on a request for $485,-
300,000 for the coming fiscal year.
The delay is to allow completion
of a special subcomiittee investi-
gation of possible duplication and
interservice rivalry in the space
program.

speaker at the University's annual

The Scout will cost about $500,-
