Eisenhower yesterday ruled out ground war- fare in Europe and said everyone migh, as well understand that nuclear, warfare over the Berlin crisis is not "a complete impossibility." Meanwhile Russia and Communist East Germany promised last night they would keep the road open between West -Berlin and the outside world if West Berlin becomes a free city. But they indicated the price they would demand for such guaran- tees would be Western diplomatic recognition of the satellite East German regime. That recognition has long been sought by the Com- munists and refused by the West. The latest word on the Berlin issue ^came in a communique issued by the East German government as Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev U . . A ended a visit to East Germany. The communique also again Nmt'P sed0 urged a quick summoning of a p summit conference to ease inter- K3,national tension.

FOUR YEARS: Senators Pass Draft WASHINGTON MP)-The Senate voted 90-1 yesterday to continue for four more years the peacetime military draft of men 18 to 26 years old. Passage of the measure was hastened by concern over the Ber- lin crisis. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said it would "tell the Kremlin the United States means what it says." President Dwight D.

The conditions will not improve, he continued, unless Israel imple- ments all of the United Nation's resolgtions, dennounces war and stops the large scale immigration into their country. Expect Neutral Position The Arabs expect the United States to maintain at least a neu- tral position between the Arab world and Israel, the ambassador said. "One sign of such neutrality," he suggested, "would be an end to the unusual favoritism in terms of tax-free, txa-deductible contribu- tions that flow to Israel at the rate of almost a million dollars a day. "Another sign would be for polit- ical leaders to take the issue of Israel out of domestic partisan platforms," he added. Want Friendship "The aim of the Arab peoples to liberate their lands from all for- * eign domination and follow a policy of non-alignment. . . is in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and all dictates of sound relations between na- tions," he said. He- added that it is in the interest of the United States and the West to support r these aims. Nothing but friendship and un- derstanding Is wanted by the Arabs, Kamel claimed. He ex- plained that the Arab policy of non-alignment is dictated by the desire of all Arab peoples to avoid becoming intangled in the coils of the cold war. The Arabs are only interested in improving the condition of the Arab peoples who have been neg- lected and oppressed, the ambassa- dor continued.

Capping a day of party caucuses, the lower chamber laid aside Republican-Democratic differences and rammed through a proposal for a statewide vote April 6 on a $50 million bond issue. If voters approve, the state would borrow the 50 millions to tide the state over Sthe financial shoals it faces in the months ahead and pay off the loan by June 30, 1965. Some Opposition The vote on the plan was 84-19, 10 votes more than the two-thirds needed for passage. Republicans set up the only opposition. Senate Republicans, however, leaped to action almost as soon as the House vote was announced. Meeting in caucus, they agreed to raise the $50 million bonding pro- vision to $100 million authorizing repayment only by a penny'" in- crease in the three cent sales tax. Any such action almost certainly would run into unyielding oppo- sition from Democrats, who have stood firmly for weeks against any referendum on a sales tax increase. Would Continue Paydays If enacted, Gov. G. Mennen Wiliiams said the house bonding plan "would prevent payless pay- days and guarantee state services." "All the people of Michigan sin- cerely hope that the Republicans in the Senate will find it in their hearts to endorse the solution," he said. The House decided against tying the plan to a specific tax proposal for paying off the $50 million bond, issue. Hawaii Bil Wins Vote HONQLULU (A') - Exuberant Hawaiians air-expressed -600 leis to Washington for members of Congress after the Senate passage of the Hawaii statehood bill early today. The House yesterday voted over- whelmingly to consider statehood for Hawaii, despite charges the nation's 50th star would be tinged with red. It seemed likely that both chambers would pass nearly iden- tical measures today. In the first voting test, the House -adopted 337-69 a Rules Committee resolution bringing the Hawaii bill formally before the house for six hours of general de- bate and subsequent consideration of amendments. Voting for the resolution were 214 Democrats and 123 Republi- cans. Forty-eight Democrats, most of them southerners, 'and 21 Re-. publicans voted against taking up the bill., -Daily-Len Brunette IN FAVOR-Panhellenic President Mary Tower, flanked by other Student Government Council mem- bers, spoke in favor of fall rushing for women, as the issue came before the Council last night. Her ten-minute speech began a four-hour session which included pro and con arguments from independent' and affiliated women, and Council members. Miss Tower favored a reinstatement of fall rush, ruled off campus since 1957. Her decision was upheld, she claimed, by affiliate opinion expressed Tuesday at a meeting of Women's Senate.
