The Council's action came in response to the election report of the Credentials Committee, pre- sented by Mort Wise, '59, SGC executive vice-president. Cite Violation The committee's statement ex- plained that Fishman had been in "flagrant violation" of SGC elec- tion rules. Wise said Fishman had actually spent $29.87 in his campaign. John Gerber, '59, Interfraternity Council president, moved, "just to facilitate consideration of the y problem," that Fishman's name be added to the list submitted for t seating. It was this motion that was de- - feated.

"I don't think that I gained such an advantage," he said. Fishman further said that when he discovered he had gone over i the expense limit, he asked a pres- ent member of the Council, whose identity he declined to reveal, t what to do. This member, Fishman said, told him informally to forget it and just put $25 down on his expense account. SALARIES: 'U' Urge Solution For Crisis The University favors using the Veterans . Trust Fund to relieve the current state cash crisis and insure pay to the faculty rather than for financing additional building, a University vice- president said yesterday. Vice-President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Niehuss said salaries are the University's first concern. The state, which finances University paychecks, will be broke May 1 unless it finds an im- mediate source of revenue. Explains Appropriations Niehuss added that to use the $50 million fund for a statewide capital outlay program would, "spread the funds mighty thin." University President Harlan Hatcher said the University favors any revenue proposal which will provide cash for the University. The state, which currently owes the University $6.8 million in back funds, has promised the Univer- sity a monthly payment about April 1, Vice-President in Charge of Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont told the Regents yes- terday. Any payment after that rests, on finding a solution to the state's cash shortage, he said. "The State has been as helpful as they can be without any cash," he added. He said the University has enough cash on hand to meet its March payroll; but still owes funds to its creditors. Adopt Resolution The Regents adopted a resolu- tion at their meeting favoring any solution to the state financial. crisis that will provide cash to, avoid payless paydays at the Uni- versity. Their action supported the reso- lution previously adopted by the State Association of Governing- Boards Feb. 16 which also called for new state taxes to insure smooth functioning of state fi- nances in the future and a bond- ing program to finance state building needs. Macmillan, Ike Affirm Position in Berlin Issue GETTYSBURG (P)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Britain's Prime Minister Iarold Macmillan yesterday reaffirmed their joint determination to stand firm against Soviet threats to West Berlin. Informants said the discussion was carried on in a most cordial spirit. Views Differ The differing views on a summit conference appeared to dominate their first meeting. Diplomats seemed confident, however, the two men would et hammer out a compromise formula on the summit issue. TMacmillan was reported urging a jf ,, rr ",:,::. ".::r;: .:: '!Y i o . PRIME MINISTER MACMILLAN stands firm in crisis Tass C ites Red Shakeup LONDON (P) - Tass yesterday announced the demotion of Depu- ty Premier Joseph Kuzmin in a shakeup of Russia's topt planning body, the State Planning Commis- sion. Kuzmin's job as chairman of the commission, called Gosplan, is taken over by another deputy premier, 55-year-old Alexei Kosy- gin, Tass said. Kuzmin had been Gosplan chairman and deputy premier since May 4, 1957. He loses his post as deputy pre- mier and drops back to ministerial rank as chairman of the state sci- entific and economic council. Kosygin became a deputy pre- mier Dec. 21, 1953. Before that he had been finance minister, head of the ministry of textiles and light industry and a member of the Politburo under Stalin. On' Christmas Day in 1956 he was appointed Deputy Chairman of the State Economic Commission and in July the following year became an alternate member of the Communist Party's Presidium, formerly the Politburo. Big Four summit session as quickly as possible to avert the threat of war over Russia's demand for an end to four-power control of Ber- lin. His talks in Moscow with Rus- sian Premier Nikita Khrushchev three weeks ago are understood to have convinced Macmillan that only at such a high level would, the Soviets make the kind of con- cessions necessary to ease war dangers. Attitude Cautions In keeping with his cautious at- titude toward summit conferences, President Eisenhower was reported to believe an unconditional offer to meet with Khrushchev might en- courage the Soviets to downgrade the importance of a prior foreign; ministers' meeting. Any Camp David compromise formula will be discussed with France, West Germany and other Allied nations. To back up their decision to stand firm in Berlin, Deputy Sec- retary of Defense Donald Quarles was asked to discuss with them this morning military plans al- ready drafted to protect the West- ern sectors. The two western leaders agreed on this at a two-hour session that opened their Maryland mountain- top review of cold war issues they hope to discuss with Soviet Pre- mier Nikita Khrushchev. Spokesmen Describe Conference spokesmen de- scribed their initial meeting as "a free-for-all" discussion of Russian pressure against Berlin and West Germany, They refused to pro- vide any details. The talk, the first of a four-day review, was carried on as the two men sat relaxing in easy chairs in a Gun-bathed room of the Presi- dent's private mountain lodge at Camp David, 65 miles from Wash- ington, D. C. Macmillan led off by giving President Eisenhower a confiden- tial report on his Kremlin talks with Khrushchev three weeks ago, as well as his talks last week with France's President Charles de Gaulle and West German Chan- cellor Konrad Adenauer. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty wrapped even this phase of the conference in of- ficial secrecy despite a flurry of questions by some 100 newsmen. STATE GOP Cites Governoqr For Debt LANSING W)-Michigan Repub- lican campaign strategists, hoping to stir a protest vote against Dem- ocrats April 6, said yesterday the blame for the State's cash emer- gency rests with Gov. G. Mennen Williams. Going his party's executive and campaign committee one better, State Chairman Lawrence B. Lin- demer "indicted" the governor in a speech prepared for a GOP wom- en's group last night. The developments answered Gov. Williams' remark Thursday that "the Republican (legislators) are rapidly making their party the party of payless pay days, scrip for school teachers, state insol- vency and legislative irresponsi- bility." The GOP executive and cam- paign committee adopted a resolu- tion criticizing the Governor for absenteeism, refusal to compro- mise on cash emergency issues and for playing politics with the emergency. t Sen. Frank Beadle of St. Clair, GOP Senate majority leader, had told the meeting, "Every move made by the Governor has been calculated to force an income tax on the people." "He refused to permit a sales tax increase to go on 'the ballot even for six months to pay off any money borrowed to prevent a pay- less pay day." Lindemer said Gov. Williams "must be hoping for a payless pay day in order to blame the Legislature." Chinese Police Ask for Kin As War Starts NEW DELHI W) - The Indian press reported today that heavy fighting has broken out in Tibet over a Red China order for the worshipped Dalai Lama to report to local Chinese authoritiesi They said the captive god-king was ordered to visit the Chinese occupation command without any bodyguards, in Lhasa, the Tibetan captial. The reports went on to say that what has happened to the 25- year-old Dalai Lama is unknown but they speculated he may have been spirited away from his great Potala Palace by either friends or enemies. Hatcher said. Includes University Men Included in the delegation will be Lyle M. Nelson, director of Uni- versity relations; Prof. Horace W. Dewey of the Slavic languages de- partment; President Norman P. Auburn of Akron University; Vice- Chancellor F. Cyril James of Mc- Gill University, Montreal; and William C. Pine, scholarship pro- gram director of the Ford Motor Company Fund. Mrs. Hatcher will accompany the president. The delegation's proposed itin- erary includes universities and other academic institutions in Moscow, Leningrad,. Kiev, Tash- kent, Sverdlovsk, Tbilisi, Irkutsk and Riga within the Soviet Union. The mission is also planning stops at Warsaw, Vienna, Helsinki and Stockholm. thas Two Purposes President Hatcher explained the delegation hopes to accomplish two purposes: 1) To keep alive exchange visits for United States-Soviet coopera- tion; 2) To investigate the humani- ties and social sciences which have been neglected recently in favor of science. Explain Interests Prof. Dewey said he will par- ticularly study the methods used by the Soviets in teaching foreign language. He explained they are teaching English, German, French and Chinese on a "massive scale which has thrown some of us into consternation.". He explained the old Soviet lan- guage system, which .teaches Eng- lish to 2,500 students for every American student taking Russian, has been under criticism for its stress on grammar rules and pho- netics. A new system is now evolving, Prof. Dewey said, where more at- tention is given to the spoken lan- guage. He hopes to observe this technique on a wide scale. First To Observe Pine will concentrate on the So- viet scholarship program and the effects of Soviet education on stu- dents. President H a tcher e x- plained this delegation will be the first to see Soviet higher educa- tion in action, since other mis- sions have travelled; there during the summer, thus making student observation impossible. Auburn will study Soviet exten- sion and correspondence courses which have recently been insti- tuted to bring higher education to more ,areas of the country, Presi- dent Hatcher said. James, who has had experience in American, Canadian and Brit- ish education, will concentrate his study on administration and cur- riculum planning. Generation.

He called on the Kremlin to stay out of the fight. "We do not accept Premier Nikita Khrushchev's protection of Arab communists," the United Arab Republic's chieftain told a crowd of wildly cheering Syrians in a balcony' speech. "If 'Khrushchev says he defends communism as a principle, we tell him we do not regard this de- fense as a principle but as inter- fering in our affairs .. "Khrushchev is free to do what- ever he wants in his own country and we, brethren, are also free in our own. "We reject subordination and colpnialism because we fought hard and gave many sacrf ices and martyrs for our independence we shall defend it to the last drop of our blood." Deficit Wanted By Economist ft To Add Jobs WASHINGTON (A) - Harvard economist Sumner Slichter said yesterday the government should plan a three billion dollar deficit next fiscal year to create jobs, while cutting all tariffs to check, inflation.

Eisenhower's adminis- tration says it hopes that when courts require the integration of public schools "it will never be necessary again to have to use armed forces." This statementof attitude was given to a Senate judiciary sub- committee yesterday by Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers. He came under some brisk southern fire, directed by Sen. Sam J. Ervin (D-N. C.). Sen. John Carroll (D-Colo.) protested Rogers' refusal to em- brace a plan for the Justice De- loyalty. Creal came out against thee sions oi.police, fire and other de- 'partments. Called Hampering In a speech Thursday night, Ives had said the commissions would ~be "wholly inconsistent with the position of city administrators," hampering him in his work. Ives had quoted public state- ments made by Creal Jan. 19, 1955, in support of them. In one of the statements, Creal discussed the! charter provision (section 5.17a)x saying the City Council may set these' up, commissions, which would advise department heads, Council and the city administra- tor, Will Keep Opinion "I should like to have it publicly known," Creal was quoted as say- ing, "that while I was voted down 8 to 1 (in the charter writing commission) on the proposal to CHRISTMAN SPEAKS: Senator Notes Effects of Higher Taxes establishment of advisory commis- By PHILIP SHERMAN Higher taxes do little to affect the industrial climate of Michigan, State Sen. Lewis C. Christman (R-Ann Arbor) said last night. Speaking at a debate on the state's financial problems, Sen. Christman commented that other factors-labor supply, market dis- tance-are much more important in decisions of industry to operate here. He cited a report compiled for the Legislature from a poll of firms operating both in Michigan and adjacent states which showed the firms paid higher taxes here but still continued operation. Brazer Questions Findings Prof. Harvey E. Brazer of the economics department, a second participant in the debate, questioned the findings' as only one-third of the companies contacted responded and said probably only the firms which paid lower taxes in other states would answer. Those paying lower taxes here would not want to lead the Legislature into - >--:.
