As the bill came from the Committee, it provided for outright sale.

value is estimated at $43 million. The money will be poured into

Give Views
Rep. Joseph J. Kowalski of De-
troit said the proposal for selling
the bonds outright-despite provi-
sion for resorting the body of the
fund later on-would "almost cer-
tainly be doomed to defeat in the
House."
Kowalski continued, "It would
only prolong the agony and ac-
complish nothing in the way of
averting an immediate cash crisis."
Sen. Frank Beadle of Std. Clair;
Republican majority leader, push-
ed the sale plan in preference to
mortgaging.
Push Sale Plan'
He pointed out his plan was the
best way to accomplish the pur-
pose both from the standpoint of
the State- and of veterans. He
said $43 million would be immedi-
ately realized, against $38 million
in value from mortgaging.
The cash would be available to
all state agencies rather than a
few. Provision for restoring the!
body of the fund was more orderly
and sure than would be the case
under mortgaging.
Huse Kills
Bill To Aid
LANSING () -- The House last
night killed a bill to bring Michi-
gan under a 13-week extension of
temporary unemployment benefits.
The move was taken by rejecting
the recommendations of a confer-
ence committee of the House and
Senate.
Last night's action means that
more than 28,000 jobless workers,
whose unemployment compensa-I
tion ran out early this month, still
are unable to collect extended
benefits.

'A trocivous'
By SUSAN HOLTZER
Questionnaires asking students
to list well and poorly-adjusted
freshmen, distributed t h r o u g h
freshman English classes, were
called "atrocious" by an English
professor, but defended by their
distributor.
As part of a "Personality Per-
ception Project," the question-
naires asked students to list in
one group the names of freshmen
they considered as having "the
best social adjustment, interper-
sonal relations, and leadership po-
tential." The directions add,
"Normally these are the ones who
have a nice personality and the
ones you like best."
In the bottom group, students
were asked to list an equal num-
ber of freshmen they felt had "the
poorest social adjustment and in-
terpersonal relations."
Project Criticized
In sharp criticism of the pro-
ject, Prof. James R. Squires of the
English department declared that
it "pretends to be a scientific in-
quiry aiming at objective results
that I don't think can be ob-
tained."
But the project's head, Prof.
Benno Fricke of the psychology
department, said that "the best
source" of adjustment ratings is
the students themselves. "Right
now there is no really satisfactory
measure of general social adjust-
ment," he declared, "but the way
not to do this is through experts.
They are worthless."
Prof. Fricke admitted there
would be some objections to the
questionnaire, noting that "many
people feel this sort of thing is
too personal." But he said he dis-
agreed with this attitude.
Characteristics Sought
"We are not interested in any
individual," he explained. "What
we want to do is to identify those
things which go along with being
well adjusted, what characteris-
tics and attitudes are associated
with social adjustment and good
interpersonal relations."
'The names themselves will not
be made available, Prof. Fricke
d~clared.,"The project is not con-
ncted to any dean's office," he
said. "All the names will be for-
gotten after the tabulation-they
are -really just numbers."
The project aims at about 400
students in each group, Prof.
Fricke explained. "The two groups
will then be contrasted with each
other," he said. "That is why we
need an equal number in each
group."
He added that another reason
for the request for equal numbers
in each group was to insure that
students would fill in enough
names in the bottom group. "It's
always easfer to list people you
like," he noted.

Urban Plan
Date Change
By PETER DAWSON
The Ann Arbor City Council last
night voted ~to request a three-
month extension of the federal
government's date for submittal
of the city final Urban Renewal
plans.
The government last week ap-
proved the plans, asking for some
revisions and asking, the city to
re-submit the plan in final form
by June 1. The date requested last
night by Council will be Sept. 1.
Mayor Cecil O. Creal called June
1 "unrealistic," for several reasons.
One reason given in discussion
was that Council may want to
have a referendum on the city's
paying its share of the project,
now $459,509, and that referenda
must be put on the ballot 45 days
before they are voted on.
Delay Submittal
That alone would put off sub-
mittal of the plans into June.
The Ann Arbor Planning Com-
mission must approve the plans,
and so must Council, after a pub-
lic hearing.
As Creal pointed out, Council
must also approve the City's bud-
get for the coming fiscal year by
May 11. The budget was submitted
last week.
Council took no other steps last
night toward completing the plans.
Asks Fuller Development
The federal government has
asked the city to develop more
fully its plans for relocating resi-
dents whose homes would be re-
moved. Provision for them so far
has included a private redevelop-
menit company to build 30 rental
units for displaced low - income
families and a non-proft company
to subsidize part of their rents.
Court Rules
To Eliminate
Party Aid
WASHINGTON (PY - The Su-
preme Court ruled five to four
yesterday it is a violation of fed-
eral law to promise donations to
a political party in return for help
in getting a Federal appointive
job.
The decision reinstated a c1arge
that George Donald Shirey had
illegally promised to give $1,000 a
year to the Republican party
when seeking appointment as
Postmaster at York, Pa.
The Justice Department ap-
pealed the case to the Supreme
Court.
Shirey was alleged to have told
former Rep. S. Walter Stauffer
(R-Pa.) he would give $1,000 a
year to the party in return for the
use of influence to get the post-
mastership. The offer was alleged
to have been made around Dec. 5,
1953.

Lies in Tibetan Report,
TOKYO (P)-Red China yesterday condemned as lies the Dalail
Lama's statement denouncing Communist rule in Tibet.
Radio Peiping broadcast a charge that reactionaries dictated the
statement and questioned whether the 23-year-old god-king, a refugee
in India,, had in fact written it.
"The so-called statement of the Dalai Lama issued through an
Indian diplomatic official in Tezpur on April 18 is a crude document
lame in reasoning, full of lies and loopholes," declared a long commen-
tary of the official New China News Agency.
Arouse Suspicions
"There are indications in the statement which arouse suspicions
as to whether it is indeed a statement by the Dalai Lama himself."
Barrir Seen Unlikely
To Herter Confirmation'
WASHINGTON (RP)-A trickle of complaints to its Foreign Rela-
tions Committee seemed unlikely yesterday to delay Senate confir-
mation of Christian Herter as Secretary of State.
Committee aides said they had received some verbal protests, from
persons they didn't name, that Ierter's physical condition would,
hamper his activities in the top diplomatic job. No formal objection
The basis for this reasoning was<
the fact the Dalai Lama referred
to himself as "he" rather than "I,"
which is customary. The commen-
tary added that statements of the
Dalai Lama over the past eight
years contradicted his declaration
at Tezpur.
Radio Peiping broadcast the
commentary in English.
Release Text
It also put out the text of the
Dalai Lama's 1,000-word state-
ment - "as released by officials
of the Indian Foreign Ministry"-
charging that Red China had vi-
olated its pledge of self-rule, sub-
jugated the Tibetan people and
killed or enslaved many Tibetan
holy men.
It followed with a declaration
from the Panchen Lama, 21,
whom Red Chinese have en-
throned in Lhasa as the Dalai
ILama's successor, that the state-
Iment was a fabrication.
