Virtually identical notes were delivered to the Kremlin by the United States, Britain and France. So was a similar note from West Germany. Rejected Former Bid They rejected Russia's Jan. 10 bid for a 28-nation German peace conference and suggested that a date and place be set by mutual Greal Records Win in GOP Prima, Total Votes Show Defeat For House Winner To Oppose Ives in April Election By PETER DAWSON Cecil O.

The committee, on motion of Rep. James G. Fulton (R-Pa.) called on United States scientists to obtain information on the schedule, work and published find- Ings of the Soviet oceanographic ship Vit Yaz. Rep. Fulton said the vessel has spent much time "near our missile area and also near nuclear tests areas."1 Visit Arranged Robert B. Brode, associate direc--1 tor of the National Science Foun- dation, said the ship's schedule had been arranged openly in con- nection with the International Geophysical Year and that.he believed it had observed the sched- ule. But Rep. Fulton said, "I hap- pen to know it is not on schedule.- It is hanging around the Hawaiian Islands supposedly waiting to take a group of scientists on a junket which has never materialized." Brode and other, scientists con- cerned with weather control ex- periments cautioned the commit-1 tee not to expect any time soon feats like watering deserts or dis- sipatng hurricanes or tornadoes. Weather Tests Run Brode said he is satisfied Rus- ° sia also is experimenting with weather control. But, replying to a question by Rep. Fulton, he added he sees no prospect that the Soviets might break through, for example, with the ability to convert the United States into a desert by diverting rain. Such huge scale weather con- trol, he said, will be "extremely difficult, if not impossible" ever to accomplish, and so far as is known, no one ilow has a program actively seeking such results. 1 Note Rain Increase But, he said, "wringing clouds" by seeding them with crystals which start the rain-making cycle has resulted in this country in in- creases up to 10 or 5 per cent in precipitation in areas where the extra rainfall was valuable. The National Science Founda- tion, he said, is now supporting two cloud seeding programs, near Tucson, Ariz. and Santa Barbara, Calif. Testimony indicated the method of seeding using silver iondide, either in smoke wafted up from the ground, or from aircraft, now is in most favor among United States rainmaking scientists. Prof. Bretton b: Leaves GOP eAfter Primary The results of last night's may--1 oral primary caused Prof. Henry Bretton of the political science department to announce his resig- nation from the Republican arty. After learning of the nearl two to one margin by which Cecil 0. Creal was elected -to carry the Republican banner in the coming election, Prof. Bretton ,explained that he had decided beforehand he would resign if a decisive Creal victory was recorded. "I was an issue," he declared. "I was held responsible in part for splitting the party." Prof. Bretton relateda conversation with Creal 'in which the mayoral nominee asked him, "Why don't you join >Big Four agreement for a foreign ministers meeting on the whole merman question. The United States note restated ;he West's determination not to be driven out of Berlin by Soviet threats and demands. It did ex- press willingness to negotiate all aspects of the problem. The notes were worked out by allied diplomats at daily meet- ings in Washington and checked out with other Atlantic Pact (NATO) countries at Paris. Dulles approved the United States note before going to the hospital last week for the hernia operation which revealed a recurrence of abdominal cancer., Desire Answer Officials said they hoped Rus- sia would respond favorably so the meeting could start in Geneva or Vienna in late April or early May. The timing is important. The Soviets said Nov. 7 they would turn East Berlin over to East Ger- many in six months, which would be May 27, thereby giving the East Germans control of the West's ac- cess routes' to West Berlin. The Russians also demanded with- drawal of allied forces from West Berlin and an East-West German "confederation." Today's Allied notes said: "The danger to world peace in- herent in this Soviet initiative is evident." - Want Communications It added that the Big 'T'hree "re- serve the right to uphold by all appropriate means their commu-. nications with their sectors of Ber- lin." "It is suggested that German advisors should be invited to the conference and should be con- sulted." Allied wilingness to bring East and West Germans into the con- ference room was viewed as a major move. It would be the first time such a thing was tried al- though East and West consultants have been on hand outside the conference in previous Big Four German conferences. Dulles' illness may cause a hitch in plans for a mid-March meet- ing at Paris of the foreign minis- ters of the United States, Britain, France and West Germany. Top Cancer Specialist et Views Dullesf WASHINGTON (AP) - A top specialist in cancer research Was summoned yesterday to consult on Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' illness. At -the Capitol Senators joined in silent prayer for his recovery. The stricken Dulles, suffering from a recurrence of the cancer for which he was operated on in November, 1956, which was dis- covered during a hernia operation Friday, sat in a chair in his quar- ters at the Army's Walter Reed Hospital, for about 30 minutes. Maj. Gen. Leonard b. Heaton, hospital commandant who per- formed Friday's surgery, said Dulles' condition "continues satis- factory." To Begin Soon Announcing this information from Gen. Heaton, State Depart- ment press officer Lincoln White said radiation treatment for Dulles' glandular cancer in the abdomen is expected to begin this week. White said Dr. Gordon Zubrod, clinical director of the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health, was called in to help with the treatment- and presumably to try to determine the extent of the malignancy. At the capitol, congressional leaders praised Dulles for the con- duct of his secretaryship and, in the Senate, the membership stood in silent prayer for his recovery. Introduce Resolution Shortly after the Senate met at noon, Democratic Lea'der Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas introduced a resolution. Johnson, after a conference with Chairman J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Senate Democrats had informally pledged cooperation with the Administra- tion in meeting foreign policy problems during Dulles' absence. PRIME MINISTER CASTRO: Dominates Cuba, Seeks Ref( vHAVANA (P-iel Casr to HAAA(P-FdlCsr okover in a dominating role as Prime Minister of Cuba last night. The young bearded leader stepped up into the government with a promise to carry out his revolutionary reforms without seeking to become President. In effect, he won't need to be President to dominate the Cuban scene for he has done so since the regime of his choosing ousted the Batista dictatorship and took charge Jan. . Sets First Castro thus becomes the first Prime Minister to be the dominant Kelly, Miner' Discuss Planils (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sixth in a series of articles concerning the departmental honors program of the literary colleges.) By RUTHANN RECHT In the second semester of the senior year, the honors students in the psychology, sociology and political science departments meet together to discuss a book which is meaningful to all three groups. "While the senior honors psy- chology program is one of the oldest 'in the college, the junior program began last year," Prof. E. Lowell Kelly, chairman of the psy- chology department, said. This recent program begins in the second semester because most students often do not decide their major until then and consequently are indefinite about majoring in psychology, Prof. Kelly added. The purpose of the psychology honors program, Prof. Kelly said, is to give the most highly qualified students in terms of record and interest a chance to meet in a small seminar group to do research and a thesis. See SOCIAL, page 2 CECIL O. CREAL ... GOP winner mayoral term. The present mayor, Prof. Samuel J. Eldersveld, of the political science department, has said he will not run again. In his victory statement, Creal said: "I am deeply grateful tall the loyal citizens of Ann Arbor who made the effort to vote for me today. Their confidencein me and my record is heart-warming. "I shall carry the banner of the Republican Party to victory' on April 6 with the continued sup- port of those who voted for me today and the support of a uni- fied Republican Party.' Dr. House had no comment. Thee February, 1957 primary, the most recent previous primary featuring a race for mayor, drew 31 per cent of the 23,828 voters then registered. That election, however, also in- cluded three races for City Coun- cil positions and six capital-im- provement bond proposals. factor in a modern Cuban govern-] ment. mPrevious Prime Ministers have been subordinate to Presidents but there was no doubt that Castro-.I who wore his rebel uniform at hisl investiture-is the big man of the, government. Prime Ministers normally have' been overshadowed by the Cuban President-who as elected people's choice became chief of state and named the Prime Minister to serve as government head until defeated by an adverse vote in Congress. President Named This time the president, a provi- sional one without a Congress, was named by the emerging rebel chief Castro as representative of the people by the power of popular revolution. The reasoning that puts Castro otop was put into words by the retiring Prime Minister, Jose Miro Cardona, when he stepped down to make way for Castro. He said the aims of head of government and chief of popular revolution were as one, personified by Castro. After his investiture Castro met with members of the outgoing cabinet to decide on his new min- isters. Gave Up Army Job. Castro became Prime Minister shortly after 8 p.m. EST when he signed the act of investiture. Castro gave up his job as com- mander-in-chief of the army to take over the prime ministry. His World News Roundup By The Associated Press CAIRO - Israel's policy of encouraging Jewish immigration appears slated for attack in the Arab League Council meeting here March 2. The newspaper Al Ahram de- clared yesterday the Israelis even- tually plan to receive three million Jewish immigrants and that some Arab governments are discussing joint action to head off such an influx. The current population of Israel, opposed throughout the Arab sphere, is about two million. One proposal under discussion, Al Ahram said, is an appeal to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to stop the emigration of Jews from East European countries to Israel. This would be coupled with a notification to President Dwight D. Eisenhower that the Arab na- tions cannot approve ofAmerican donations to finance the move- ment. * * * TACOMA, Wash.-Dave Beck's lawyers called only one witness- an accountant-then rested their case with dramatic suddenness yesterday as the ex-Teamster chief's long tax trial moved swiftly toward its finish.i United States District Judge George H. Boldt told the jury that final arguments by the government and defense will begin when court convenes today. They are expected to take the entire day. WASHINGTON Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, ac- cused of handicapping the Repub- licans and hurting the farmers, gave senators a vivid, poetic reply yesterday. If his critics will just look, he said, they can read the answer to the farm problem "in letters of fire a mile high." Benson said these symbols spell out two things: Do away with production con- trols that don't control. Fix price supports at levels that "will pre- serve and build markets." LEE SCORES CRUCIAL BASKET: Michigan Five Tops Iowa, 90-86 brother Rau chief. Castro in, sought the accepted it tc lution's socia gram. By FRED KATZ Five points by George Lee in just 34 seconds last night iced a hard-fought Michigan basketball win over Iowa, 90-86, at Yost Field House. The victory lifted the Wolverines past the .500 mark in Big Ten play (5-4), moved them into undisputed fourth place in the Con- ference and kept their title hopes faintly alive. Reverse Decision Michigan's win also allowed it to reverse a four-point defeat it suffered earlier this month at the hands of these same Hawkeyes, 78-74. Lee's splurge began with only 1:18 remaining and Michigan be- hind, 84-83. It climaxed a Wolverine comback made necessary after it had blown a lead that once stretched to 14 points. The burly senior co-captain, who led all scorers with 30 points, cashed in a layup to send the Wolverines ahead, 85-84. Fouled in the process 1'y -Iowa's Dave Gunther, Lee made the charity toss to give his team a two-point bulge. But Hawkeye reserve guard Bob Carpenter, who paced the visi- tors' late surge, sank a jump shot 15 seconds later to knot the count, 86-86. Retaliates Lee wasted no time in' retaliating and pumped in the game- winning bucket with a bare 44 seconds left. Lovell Farris added two free throws in the closing seconds to put the Michigan lead out of danger. Lee's performance ranked among his most outstanding of the season and his 30 points was a personal high. He became the third Wolverine to hit the 30 mark this season. M. C. Burton, who set the all-time Michigan high of 38 against Butler, notched 22 points last night, while John Tidwell, who made 37 against Wisconsin, hurt the Hawkeyes with 15.
