The 83-year-old leader spoke to a nationwide audience on his decision to drop out as Chancellor and campaign for the less power- ful post of president. Then he left for a month's vacation in Italy. He shed little light on the reasons. for his decision Monday. But he declared "with fullest emphasis" that the powers of presi- dent "are far greater than is generally believed." He explained that this decision "was designed to se- Bretton Calls Adenauer's Act Political By CHARLES KOZOLL Chancellor Konrad- Adenauer's decision to seek the presidency of West Germany ma be related to the realization that he couldn't maintain his hold on the Chris- tian Democratic party for the next parliamentary session, Prof. Henry L. Bretton of the political science department explained. Noting that this was a personal opinion, Bretton added that 'Ade- nauer is moving into the presi- dency because he foresees a poli- ical defeat." Part of this feeling may be related to his failure to promote successfully the nomina- tion of Ludwig Erhard for the presidency of the Bonn govern- ment. Not Hand Picked He went on to say Erhard can- not be described as a hand-picked choice for Chancellor viewed in the light of Adenauer's desire to nominate the German economic leader for a less influential posi- tion. Another factor sonsidered was that of mounting opinion in the country which opposed the often uncompromising policies of the West German leader. Besides the opposition of the Socialists, Prof. E Bretton noted that industrial and Protestant elements in Adenauer's own party hadn't entirely favored his moves. "His policies during the first 10 years of the Bonn Republic have had a salutory effect on safe- guarding the political integrity of - West Germany," Prof. Bretton ex- plained. Once the integrity had been established, he went on, it might have been wiser to lean a little more toward compromise. Views Attitude "The stubborn attitude of the West German leader must be viewed ir another light, Prof. Henry W. Nordmeyer, chairman of the Germani languages and literature department observed. His immovable policies were very important in holding back the Russians,Prof. Nordmeyer added. The tendencies of the Soviets to aggrandize territory forced him at the time to take his strong po- i sition. The importance of this at- titude cannot be underestimated, he noted. Commenting on the present Chancellor's statement that he would maintain a certain amount of power in the less important role as president, Prof. Bretton felt that it would amount to influence exerted in the Christian Demo- cratic party. Influence in this case -is related to Adenauer's position as a cementing factor which holds the party together, Prof. Bretton said. Views Change In his new and perhaps less in- (luential position, Adenauer won't try to press the influence factor ttoo far, Prof. Bretton believes. Viewing the possibility of policy change, "the chances are that the successor government will be more flexible with regard to working out practical arrangements be- tween the two Germanies" Prac- tical, in this situation, implies a keener perception of the realities of international politics, Prof. Bretton continued. Dwyer Unsure About Recount cure the continuity of our policies for years to come." Then he went on to declare that West Germany's foreign policies will not be changed now during the forthcoming East-West con- ferences on Berlin and Germany this spring and summer, nor after the new Chancellor takes over. The powers of the West German president are limited by the con- stitution, and the office has been. largely one of prestige and cere- mony. The news that Adenauer was shifting to the presidency caused a loud buzz around the world that West German policy was going to take on a new look. This speculation centered on two points: that Adenauer induced his Western allies to drop considera- tion of some kind of loose confed- eration of East and West Germany as a start toward reunification, and blocked a British advocacy of a controlled thinning out of forces. Ask Earlier Print Date By PHILIP POWER Student Government Council last night recommended that, the schedule for final examinations be printed in the time schedule at the begiining of the semester. In other action, the Council changed its agenda, so that old business is considered directly aft- er the president's report. Jo Hardee, '60, executive vice- president, announced that peti- tions for the vacant Council seat are due by 6 p.m. tomorrow in the SGC area of the Student Activi- ties Bldg. Interviewing by a com- mittee composed of SGC's execu- tive committee, Al Haber, '60, and' Jim Martens, '60, Interfraternity Council president, will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. Tuesday. It was pointed out that the stu- dents wished to know the final ex- amination schedule when choos- ing their courses so they would be able to avoid having exam con- flicts and having several exams on the same day. The report of the Education and Student Affairs Committee, which presented the data for the mo- tion, stated that the people- con- cerned with making up the ex- amination schedule have been contacted about , the proposed change and that they saw no ob- jection to it. In member's time, Bobbie Maier, '59, League president, Pat Mar- thenke, '59, Assembly president and Mary Tower, '59,' Panhellenic president, for whom this was the last meeting, made their 'farewell remarks. Army Site For City United States Army officials have decided to locate 'a $317,000 Army Reserve Training Center on the University's North Campus, it was announced yesterday. Congressman George Meader (R-Ann Arbor) said he has been informed high-ranking Army of- ficials that they will direct the Detroit district of the United States Army engineers to enter negotiations with the University for the purchase of the site. The Army discussed possible acquisition of land on North Cam- pus with University officials "some time ago," Wilbur K. Pierpont, U n i v e r s i t y vice-president in charge of business and finance, said last night. Buy 4.14 Acres The Army plans to purchase a 4.14-acre site on North Campus for the Reserve Training Building and an additional one-and-one- half acres for access roads. Pierpont said "no particular site has been selected yet. The Univer- sity has an interest in the project because of the possible joint use of the facilities by reservists in the area and from the University," he continued. The Army plans to build the center during the overnment's fiscal year 1960, which begins July 1, 1959, Meader sad. Although the Ann Arbor renter has been auth- orized and the funds approved, Congress must make the actual appropriation. No delay is expect- ed on this, officials disclosed. Not Discussed According to Pierpont, the mat- ter has not yet been discussed with the Regents, and therefore, no definite plans for selling land have been made. The building contemplated will be of "school type" construction and will hold 200 reservists at one time. In announcing the plan to pur- chase the property on North Cam- pus, the Army gave up a former proposal to buy land on the Washtenaw County Farm for its center. The Army had been offered five acres of land by the farm's Board of Supervisors in June, 1957, and at that time the North Campus was described as the Army's "sec- ond choice." The center will contain 15,000 square feet of classrooms, orderly and training rooms and will ac- commodate 600 reservists on al- ternating nights. Ann Arbor is one of 42 cities in Michigan picked for Reserve training centers. One was recently completed in Jackson. Report Plans For Euro®pean Security Pact LONDON (P)-Plans for a new East-West security system in Eu- rope were reported yesterday to have been circulated by the United' States among its Allies. There was no official confirma- tion, but informants said a treaty was envisaged that would be open to every nation in Europe and North America and would bind each signer to help an fellow, member against aggression. Union Rally Seeks Help In Recession WASHINGTON W)-More than 5,000 delegates wound up an AFL- CIO jobless rally yesterday with a demandbthat the Democratic Congress begin immediate con- sideration of measures to restore full employment to America. The throng jamming the Na- tional Guard Armory passed a resolution saying Congress should "wait no longer for Administration leadership" in putting over meas- ures to aid idle workers and spur the over-all economy. A series of speakers criticized President Dwight D. Eisenhower on grounds he is complacent in the face of unemployment num- bering 4,362,000. Allude to Golf There were allusions to Presi- dent Eisenhower's golf playing and a suggestion from a Pennsylvania woman delegate, Mrs. Min Lurye Matheson of Wilkes-Barre, that President Eisenhower quit his present Augusta, Ga., golfing vaca- tion and inspect the jobless plight first-hand in her home state. Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.), chairman of the Senate-House Economic Committee, said he was afraid President Eisenhower had become insulated by "comfortable bureaucrats and rich millionaires who play golf and bridge with him and let him shoot pheasants on their estates . . . a captive of hard-faced men who know exactly what they want.'' One of the adopted resolutions called on President Eisenhower to re-evaluate the nation's domestic situation. Urge Session m"We urge him to call into im- mediate session," this resolution said, "a conclave of leaders of industry, labor, agriculture and government, instructed to map a program that will keep America at work and abolish the suffering caused by mass unemployment.. We know it can be done." The delegates pledged to call "meet the unemployed" meetings in communities across the nation to explain the problems of idle workers and the need for more employment opportunities. Introduces Legislation Senate Democratic Leader Lyn- don Johnson of Texas told the cheering delegates he had just introduced legislation to create a commission to study the gravity of the unemployment problem andj the actual need for more highway, housing, airport and other public works measures to buoy the econ- omy. The business-labor group, he said, would hold meetings all over the nation and make recommen- dations in a 60-day period. Sen. Johnson said economic-aid proposals have been met with threats of an Eisenhower veto andf the only recourse is to "gather allf the facts in the full light of dayc and take them to the Americant people for thier judgment." I TO USE RADAR SATELLITE: Team Plans Study of Moon Landing By BARTON HUTHWAITE v A team of University scientists has developed a method that may provide the answer to whether man can land safely on the moon. A system for exploring the moon's surface by means of a radar-equipped satellite orbiting around the moon was unveiled by the University's radiation labora- tory yesterday. The data gatheredkwould repre- sent a 'major break-through in man's attempt to land on the E"ditor Says Fight Over By RUTHANN RECHT A semester-long split between liberal and conservative Minne- sota legislators over the "non- political" selection of Regent nominees ended Tuesday. At a special joint meeting, the Senate Education Committee and the House Committee on Higher Education drew up a slate of candidates to fill the four avail- able Regent posts, the editor of the Minnesota Daily told The Daily yesterday. It will be submitted to a joint session of the House and Senate on Friday where it is expected to Jbe- approved. Legislature Selects In the Minnesota Regent selec- tion system, the Senate and House committees draw up a slate of candidates for Regents posts. The list is then submitted to a joint session of the Senate and House in which they will either approve it as it is, or make ap- propriate changes. They may also make nominations from the floor. The split was the result of the liberal House's refusal to meet with the conservative Senate un- til they were assured of one of the four seats. They pointed out that joint committee meetings in the past have not resulted in electing a liberal to the Board. Compromise Results The meeting resulted in a com- promise between the two bodies. The list of candidates comprise three conservatives and one lib- eral, the editor said. This slate of four men will exactly fill the po- sitions that are left open. "Usually there are no 'party- politics' involved in the selection of Regent candidates," the editor noted. But the president is retir- ing this year and the Regents will be the ones to select the new pres- ident. "If the factions had failed to arrive at a single slate, there prob- ably would have been no election at all," the editor said. In such a case, the Governor is empowered to appoint successors to the seatsa being vacated. moon. A space rocket faces the danger of sinking into the thick layer of dust that scientists now believe covers the entire crust of the moon. Study Dust Layer The radar laboratory would be. able to obtain information about the depth of this sandy outer sur- face as well as the contours of craters and mountains. A series of radar probes would tap the moon's surface trying to locate an adequate landing spot for asrocket. Prof. K. M. Siegel of the elec- trical engineering department and head of the University's radiation laboratory said future moon space ships would be in danger of being covered up completely by the fine sand. Such a radar station would be able to answer the vital ques- tion of how and where to land on the moon's surface, he said. Research engineer W. E. Fensler and associate research mathema- tician T. B. Senior, both of the electrical engineering department, also participated in the study. U.S. Hast Potential Prof. Siegel said the United States presently has the potential to conduct the moon probe but that additional experimentaI study would have to come before the ac- tual radar platform was launched. The satellite, not much larger than Russia's Sputnik III, would be approximately 150 feet in length and six feet in diameter. The total weight of the orbiting platform would be less than 4,000 pounds, Thervehicle would also carry a nuclear power source to supply three or four kilowatts of elec- tricity to power the satellite dur- ing its scanning operation of the moon. New Method Possible Prof. Siegel said "it was too early to know" whether a Uni- versity announcement Monday of a method for the direct conversion of atomic energy into electricity would be used in the vehicle. But he quickly added that "it might." The noted scientists said the or- 'Uion Head Investigated WASHINGTON (RP) - Detroit jukebox operators surrendered to the underworld when William Bufalino, a sidekick of Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa, took control of the Teamsters jukebox local, Senate investigators were told yesterday. Witnesses testified that Bufalino stepped into leadership of Local{ 985 from a jukebox distributor partnership with an alleged Mafia narcotics trafficker. Before the hearing, counsel Robert F. Kennedy of the Senate Rackets Committee renewed an invitation to Hoffa to appear in reply to any testimony reflecting on him. - biting satellite would transmit at 10 frequencies simultaneously. "We would want to 'look' at the same or almost the same area of the moon's surface at each fre- quency," he added. The formal study report said such a space observatory would be uninfluenced by the earth's atmosphere or constrained by the earth's trajectory as such moon probe studies are now. PROF. IRVING HOWE . . outlines Socialist goals ' Optimistic on Payments Socialism r ., 'No Cure-All By LANE VANDERSLICE The advent of socialism would not necessarily mean the end of the main problems facing the United States, Prof. Irving S. Howe of Brandeis University said last night. The noted socialist author and critic said there would still be major problems in education and economic development, but that socialism could resolve some per- sistant problems in these fields. Prof. Howe spoke before ,the Dem- ocratic Socialist Club. He cited the elimination of class differences as a criterion for ob- taining a college education as an example of the kind of educational problem socialism could solve. No Direct Answer But socialism would not provide any direct answer to the more serious question, "What is an ade- quate education in an industrial society," Prof. Howe said. A major part of the present day socialists task, and one which might provide an answer to this sort of question, Prof. Howe said, is criticism of the moral aspects of today's society. Criticism similar to that made of Detroit's "insolent chariots," and the organization man, should be provided by the present-day so- cialist, he said. Moral Crisis Seen Liberals and conservatives share with the socialist the realization that theresis a moral crisis in so- ciety today he said. The socialist differs, from the others, in de- manding there be major changes in the structure of economic so- ciety.I Just changing the structure of society from capitalism to social- ism is no guarantee that society will be improved, Prof. Howe noted. "There is always likely to be a conflict between plan'ner's plans and people's desires," he said. Some of the guarantees that would forstall such a conflict, he said, would be continued rights of democratic participation in gov- ernment and the right of small segments of society to strike against society as a whole.

The proposal would have pro- vided $50 million, of which the University would have received $14.3 million to fulfill the state's payments through the fiscal year ending June 30. "We have to have a payment each month," Vice-President in Charge of Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont said last night. He revealed the University expects a payment from the state this month to meet payrolls until ear- ly May.. Payments Lag The University has been paid by the state only the money due through part of January. Funds are needed to meet the payroll In May and State Treasurer Sanford Brown has estimated the state 'will be bankrupt May 15 unless quick cash is provided. "I am hopeful and confident the Legislature and state officials will provide money. I think they'll find a way," Pierpont said. "We've been living from month to month recently," he said of the Univer- sity. "We'll just have to keep liv- ing that way." University President Harlan Hatcher recently told the faculty Ithey 'would continue to receive: Stheir pay checks regularly. He told the Senate committee last week a state payment was needed to meet the May payroll. Table Proposal The committee tabled a pro- posal which would have liquidated the Veteran's Fund and paid cash Immediately to the University and Michigan State University. The House previously passed a bill to allow the state universities to bor- row funds using the trust fund .bonds as collateral. Sen. Edward Hutchinson (R- Fennville) suggested the plan be tabled until it was obvious the state could not meet a payroll. Sen. Hutchinson said he was not convinced there was any cash crisis. Gov. G. Mennen Williams, other state officials and House members of both parties have termed pas- sage of the Veteran's proposal "es- sential." Michigan State University has claimed it will not be able to meet its April 27 payroll without cash from the Veteran's Fund or other money from the state. No other proposal for cash is now being considered in the legislature. World News (Round up By The Associated Press MFICQ CITY-Russia offered yesterday to help underdeveloped nations by lending them money at low rates, selling machinery on long-term deals and providing technicians free. A Soviet delegate also declared that °poverty and underdevelop- ment in most areas was the fault of colonial powers. , , * UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. - President Dwight D.

The report was given out by a Ireliable sources yesterday as a description of the United States position as Ambassador James J. Wadsworth prepared to leave for Geneva to resume talks Monday TO OPEN HERE TONIGHT: HarrisonDiscusses Comedy in Lively 'Volpone' By JUDITH DONER "Anyone who goes to see it will be astonished at the liveliness of it," Prof. G. B. Harrison of the English department remarked of Ben Jonson's famous comedy, "Volpone." Ann Arbor theatre-goers can decide the truth of this for them- selves at the speech department's Playbill production of "Volpone," opening at 8 p.m. today and continuing through Saturday at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. "Most people consider 'Volpone' as Jonson's greatest work," the English professor, an authority on Elizabethan drama, reported. "I'm not sure that it isn't," he added drily. Depicts Human Folly Jonson firmly believed that all literature was intended "to do something," Prof. Harrison continued. His purpose in his comedies was to depict human folly. Although in his earlier works he dealt with campus-type humor-foolery-"Volpone" is concerned with pure vice. The play is based upon the theme that everyone has his price, he related. The lawyer, Voltore, the old dotard, Corbaccio, and the typi- cally jealous Italian husband, Corvino, each attempt to gain Volpone's estate. but are thwarted by his parasite. Mosca. ' .:.
