U.S. Accepts Plan
For City Renewal,
Tract Between Depot, Ann Streets
Forms Area Under Consideration
By THOMAS TURNER
The federal government has accepted Ann Arbor's urban renewal
plans, thus offering to pay two-thirds of project costs and all of the
relocation expenses.
The area under consideration is an irregular 75-acre tract be-
tween Depot and Ann Streets running east and west and Ashley and
Division Streets north and south.
Ann Arbor is in no way obligated to carry out the plan, Mayor
Cecil'O. Creal pointed out last night. He characterized the govern-
ment letter to City Administrator Guy C. Larcom as a "proposal of
- conditions under which the City
oumld enter into a contract with

Flies Above
1Red Ceiling
BONN, Germany () - The
United States Air Force yesterday
sent its third high flying trans-
port within a month to Berlin in
,defiance of a Soviet 10,000-foot
ceiling.
Russian Jets shadowed the
plane but did not buzz it as on
two previous occasions, United
States officials said.
The new Air Force flight raised
misgivings in Britain. Authorita-
tive sources said Britain is wor-
ried lest a United States-Soviet
flare-up in the air corridor im-
peril an East-West summit meet-
ing this year.
British sources said the United
States State Department had
promised Britain no more such
flights would be made for the
present, but there appeared to be
differences between United States
military and diplomatic officials.
Soviets Follow
On both legs of the flight
through the corridor over Com-
munist East Germany the plane
was closely shadowed by two So-
viet MIG fighters, United States
officials said.
But they said preliminary re-
ports showed the four-engined
turboprop transport was not
forced to change course or reduce
altitude. The C130 flew at its nor-
mal operational height of 20,000
to 25,000 feet both going and re-
turning from its base at Evreux,
France.
The Russians protested a pre-
vious flight by a C130 on March
27, contending Allied planes were
required to remain below 10,000
feet as a safety measure in the
three air corridors to Berlin. The
Russians say they use the air
above 10,000 feetoverthehcorri-
dors. .
U. S. Rejects Claim
The United States rejected this
claim in a diplomatic note and
there was a sharp exchange of
charges tha each side was guilty
of dangerous flying.
There was another incident on
w April 3 when a four-engined pro-
peller traport of the United.
States Air Force reduced altitude
from 12,000 feet after being
buzzed by Red fighters.
Admiral Calls
Space Plans
Cumbersome
WASHINGTON ()-Vice Adm.
John T. Hayward testified yes-
terday the nation's space program
is cumbersome and certain to run
into serious delays.
He urged that the separate ci-
vilian and military space agen-
} eies be brought under a single
over-all unit similar to the Atom-
ic Energy Commission.
Hayward, boss of the Navy's re-
search and development pro-
grams, testified before the Senate
space subcommittee.
At the request of chairman
Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), Hay-
ward agreed to submit a reorgan-
ization plan that would stream-
line and speed up varied space ef-
forts, both military and civilian.

present to Council
The next step in the $1,487,000
project is presenting the govern-
ment offer to the City Council and
working out the details, Creal said.
He noted finance, relocation and
zoning are particularly difficult
areas still to be finally dealt with.
"There is still a long way to go
before the plan goes into effect,"
the mayor declared.
The public will have to approve
any decision on money to be
raised, Creal said. The opinion of
people concerned will have to be
solicited, and the people in the
area concerned in the plan have
to be satisfied if relocation is to
be carried out, he continued.
Dislikes Date'
Creal said he has not yet studied
specific aspects of the government
proposal but "the first thing I
would take exception with is the
acceptance date of June first.
"If they insist on a June first
deadline there is no chance of
getting it into effect," Creal said.
Urban Renewal, if enacted as
now planned, would require city
acquisition of 67 properties in the
area, including 44 in residential
use and 23 in commercial and
mixed use.
Schedule Relocation
Seventy-four families are sched-
uled to be relocated.
All property thus acquired would
be cleared fo rredevelopment. For-
mer mayorProf. Samuel J. Elders-
veld of the political science de-
partment has suggested the city
set up a profit-making corporation
to develop the property and a
development foundation to subsi-
dize rents thereon.
Fidel Castro
Visits U.S.
WASHINGTON (A)-Fidel Cas-
tro, youthful leader of Cuba's
revolutionary government, got a
roaring welcome here yesterday
and voiced the hope "I can bring
a better understanding of our
program in Cuba to the people of
the United States."
The bearded prime minister,
wearing the khaki uniform of his
revolutionary movement, alighted
from a Cuban Air Line plane to a
cheering welcome from a crowd of
about 1,500 flag-waving Cuban
supporters and Dominican exiles.
There were shouts of "Viva."' Long
live Castro.
His 10-day visit to the United
States is listed as unofficial, but
top State Department officials
were on hand to greet him, along
with Cuban diplomats,
Strict security precautions were,
in force as the 32-year-old Castro
stepped to the ground after a
flight that took a little more than
31/a hours from Havana.

SGC Names
Ugo re tz
To Co0*uncil
By PHILIP POWER and
JEAN HARTWIG
In an hour-long executive ses-
sion last night, Student Govern-
ment Council appointed Richard
Ugoretz, '60, to fill its vacant seats.
The Council also considered a
petition requesting the appoint-
ment of Michael Fishman, '60, to
the vacant seat. Submitted by,
Scott Chrysler, '59BAd., the peti-
tion contained signatures of 1,100
University students.
The petition stated: "I want
Michael Fishman on SGC. I be-
lieve that SGC's refusal to seat
him was suspect, that his inten-
tions at all times have been in
good faith, and that the choice of
voters should prevail."
Started before Vacation
Calling the petition "a good,
healthy chunk of student opinion,"
Chrysler explained it was first
circulated during the week before
spring vacation.
In announcing Ugoretz's ap-
pointment, Ron Gregg, '60, Council
president, issued a written state-
ment on behalf of the Council

explaining its action. "It isn't
that SGC didn't want Fishman,"
he said, "but that we couldn't
possibly have appointed him."
The vote to seat Ugoretz, was
14 to zero with one abstention.
Appoint Others
Several other appointments were
also made by SC. Al Haber, '60,
Tom Patterson, '60, and Philip
Power, '60, were appointed to the
Orientation Study Committee.
Appointments to the Human Re-
lations Educational Policy Com-
mittee include Ellen Lewis, '60, and
Arlene Wolinsky, '61, of the Hu-
man Relations Board; Paul Lich-
ter, '60, chairman of the Student
Activities Committee; Barton
Burkhalter, '60E, chairman of the
Education and Student Welfare
Committee and John Quinn, '62.
Ron Bassey, '61, was appointed
to the Driving Regulations Admin-
istrative Board. Student represen-'
tatives to the Driving Regulations
Revision Committee are Bassey,
Robert Johnson, '59E, Elizabeth
Barley, '61, and Haber, an ex-
officio member pending agreement
of the other parties represented
on the Board.
Question Schedule
In other action, the .Council
passed a motion expressing dis-
satisfaction with the spring exam
period schedule and asking for the
reasons behind its construction.
Haber noted that the present
schedule allows little time for the
students to integrate and reflect
on material learned during the
year.
The. Council further supported a
letter written by the National Stu-
dent Association to be sent to
South Africa condemning mount-
ing racial discrimination in edu-
cation there.

ARKANSAS:
Congress
Questions
Election
WASHINGTON (P)-An investi-
gation of the election in Arkansas
last fall of Rep. Dale Alford was
ordered yesterday by the House
Administration Committee.
It will parallel an inquiry started
last month by a Federal grand
jury.
By a 12-11 vote, the committee
approved a resolution directing
that the investigation be com-
pleted "at the earliest possible
time." It will be conducted by a
subcommittee headed by Rep.
Robert T. Ashmore (D-S.C.).
Act on Request
The action is in line with an
informal request by the defeated
incumbent, Rep. Brook Hays, who
last week asked the committee to
find out if his upset was due to
voting frauds.
Both Alford and Hays are Demo-
crats from Little Rock. Alford ran
as a write-in segregationist candi-
date. Hays, the Democratic nomi-
nee and a veteran of 16 years in
the House, called himself a moder-
ate on the segregation issue. Al-
ford won by some 1,200' votes of
more than 60,000 cast.
Raise Questions
Although the question of ir-
regularities has been raised since
his election, none of these charges
has been pointed at Alford per-
sonally.
Hays said he is not contesting
the election but favors an inquiry
because of his concern over the
integrity of the ballot. Another
reason, he said, was that a special
House committee recommended
such an investigation when it
looked into the election last De-
cember.
Alford, informed of the commit-
tee's action today, repeated that
"I welcome an investigation on a
fair and impartial basis."
Military Seeks
Space Capsule
At North Pole
INGLEWOOD, Calif. () - The
Air Force is trying to recover in
the north polar region a space
capsule it believes was successfully
ejected from the Discoverer II
satellite.
A terse announcement yester-
day said both visual sightings and
radio signals indicate the cap-
sule was automatically ejected, as
planned, on the moonlet's 17th
orbit Tuesday.
A spokesman said several
sources have received a continu-
ous tone signal the satellite was
to broadcast after ejection. In ad-
dition, other radio signals indi-
cating changes in the satellite's
center of gravity and weight tend
to confirm the ejection.

President Reveals
No Successor Yet
Reports Pick Under-Secretary
As Most Likely Choice for Post
AUGUSTA, Ga. () - Cancer forced John Foster Dulles
resign yesterday as Secretary of State.
A sad, moist-eyed President Dwight D. Eisenhower a
nounced Dulles' decision at a dramatic news conference.
The vacationing President said he had not finally ma
up his mind regarding a successor to the 71-year-old Cabir
member. He promised to fill the post "as quickly as pro
ticable," and reports continued both here and in Washingt
that Under Secretary Christian Herter, 64 years old, is t
most likely choice. In a voice betraying his emotion, Preside

Sallade Asks
Bill Support
LANSING (P) - A move to de-
velop an income tax bill that
would attract bipartisan support
began on a small scale yesterday
in the Legislature and backing it
was Rep. George W. Sallade (R-
Ann' "Arbor).
Sallade favors using Gov. G.
Mennen Williams' income tax
package measure as a vehicle but
with substitution of lower rates
and exemptions. y
H met for an hour with Reps.
Walter H. Nill (D-Muskegon),
Frederick Yates (D-Detroit) and
Rollo G. Conlin (R-Tipton). The
Governor's legal adviser, Alfred
B. Fitt, sat in.
The Ann Arbor lawmaker said
he favored a graduated tax as ad-
vocated by Gov. Williams, but
with rates ranging from two per
dent to four per cent, instead of
Gov. Williams' two to six, and a
different approach to the exemp-
tion problem.
Sallade said he wanted to see
the state proposal follow the fed-
eral income tax exemption pat-
tern, allowing $600 for the tax-
payer, his wife and each depend-
ent.

Former Positions
Miss Nichols has served suc-
cessively as features editor and
personnel manager. No plans have
been definitely set for the 1960
yearbook, she reported.
Johnston, of Grosse Pointe,
Mich., is one of three appointees
affiliated wiht Phi Gamma Delta
fraternity. He succeeds AIvin
Phillipart, '59, as business man-
ager.
The only other member of the
editorial staff announced by the
Board was Carol Handshumacher,
'60Ed., named art and engravings
editor. Miss Handshumacher, of
Williamsville, N. Y., is a member
of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, and
one of the two out-of-staters ap-
pointed.
Name Manager
The other was James Kay, '61,
of Downers Grove, Ill., new ad-
vertising manager. Kay is also af-
filiated with Phi Gamma Delta
and is a member of the track team
and the honors' program.
Ruth Wickham, '60, and Mary
Davis, '60, were named accounts
managers. Miss Wickham is from
Birmingham, Mich., Miss Davis
from Detroit.
Appointed sales manager was
Gerry Goldberg, '60E, a third
member. of Phi Gamma Delta.
Goldberg comes from Pontiac,
~Mich.
Sally Williams, '61, of Ann Ar-
bor, affiliated with Alpha Gamma
Delta, was appointed office man-
ager. ,
The Board did not announce
either a personnel manager or
copy editor. Both positions will be
filled later, according to Philli-
part.

Eisenhower told a small groupĀ£
of newmen that Dulles now is
"incapacitated for carrying
on the administrative load" of
his office, "in addition to as-
sisting in the making of
policy."
Dulles' doctors concluded in
Washington Tuesday that his can-
cer probably had spread to the
neck. A February examination dis-
closed abdominal cancer and
Dulles underwent radiation treat-
ments.
For the past several days he had
suffered neck pain. That caused
him to return to Washington Sun-
day from Florida.
Widespread Expectations
The fact that President Eisen-
hower did not immediately an-
nounce a successor caused some
surprise. There had been wide-,
s p r e a d expectation he would
promptly name Herter, who has
been acting secretary since Feb-
ruary.
Dulles' resignation brought quick
expressions of deep sorrow from
the Western world's leaders.
Personal sympathy at the in-
creasing severity of his illness
mingled with political concern at
the loss of a stout foe of Com-
munism.
"This is indeed sad news," said
British Prime Minister Harold M.
Macmillan.
That summed up the messages
pouring in from European capitals
soon after President Eisenhower
announced that Dulles could no
longer carry on as Secretary of
State because of cancer.
Possibly the deepest feelings
were aroused in West Germany,
which has long regarded Dulles
as Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
staunchest ally against making
piecemeal concessions to the Rus-
sians.
Termed 'Loss'
The West German foreign office
said the removal of Dulles at this
stage "means a great loss not only
for the American people but also
for the entire Western world."
In West Berlin, focus of the ap-
proaching East-West bargaining
session by foreign ministers in
Geneva, a city spokesman Hans
E. Hirschfeld said:
"Berliners especially regard this
as a tragic stroke of fate. Dulles
always stood up for the interests
of Berlin."

Unchanged

Secretary of State John Foste
Dulles was reported unchange
yesterday from Tuesday.
An afternoon medical bulleti
from the State Department said
.his spirits were good.
Later he was reported to have
been given another radiato
treatment for the cancer tha
forced his resignation.
Start Debate

Labor Plan.-
WASHINGTON (P)-The Sens
started debate on the Kenne
labor regulation bill late yesterdi
and agreed to vote on a k
amendment next Tuesday.
Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-MasI
opened the debate with a. plea i
the measure as it came from tl
labor committee, contending th
to adopt amendments might resi
in no bill at all.
But Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. CC
N.C.), a co-sponsor of the measu
called up the first major amen
ment, a proposal to knock out
the bill all proposed changes
the Taft-Hartley Law.
The amendment is certain to
heavily disputed. Several of t
Taft-Hartley changes long ha
been sought by organized lab
and the AFL-CIO has said it
fight the bill if they are eliminate
Two of the major propos
changes would allow replace
strikers to vote in a bargainW
election and would legalize agre
ments in the construction indust
Senator Kennedy told the Se
ate the Taft-Hartley changes i
cluded in his bill were relative
noncontroversial and that th
largely were approved by the Se'
ate when it acted on similar legi
lation last year. That legislatio
was killed in the House.
But Sen. Ervin said he believ
the proposed Taft-Hartley chang
had no place in a labor refor
measure.
Senate Democratic Leader Ly

an agreement to vote on the Erv

There will be nothing ht

of this week.
