Orval Faubus -last night offered the people of Little Rock, Ark., what he called a legal plan to operate public high schools on a private, segregated basis. "The plan is sound and work- able," said Faubus in a speech car- ried by television to most of the state. "It is all legal." Outlining the plan, he said: 1) If the people vote against integration in the special referen- dum Sept. 27, the facilities of the public schools "will become surplus and not needed for public school purposes." 2) 'the school board, then, would be free to lease the buildings to a private agency. "I am sure you are aware such an agency already has been organized," he said. He referred to the Little Rock Private School Corp., organized Wednes- day, 3) He .called. upon the city's Boarid of Education to offer "to a private group these unoccupied buildings after the election." He cited, as authority for this, an Arkansas Law of 1875. Says Plan Is Legal He said the plan is sound, work- able and legal, adding, "To this the advocates of the so-called law of the' land' can have no objection." Faubus' private school plan leans heavily on a vote against integrated schools in the special referendum he has called for the Little Rock School District Sept. 27. Such a vote, he said, will make the schools surplus and the school board can then lease them to pri- vate agencies. One such agency went into business at Little Rock Wednesday. The governor told his audience that totally integrated schools will come sooner than you think" if the ballots a week from Satur- day favor integrated schools. He said the United States gov- Seven Week Prooe Ended WASHINGTON (N) - Senate rackets probers yesterday ended seven stormy.weeks of hearings on 'Teamster President James R. Hoffa and his union amid charges that "there is just no end to; the scandals disclosed." Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) gaveled the inquiry to a windup on a bitter note. This included fresh allegations of fraud and collusion involving, Hoffa himself and allegedly cost- ing Teamster welfare, funds hun- dreds of thousands of dollars. "There is just no end to the scandals," Sen. Frank Church (D- Ida.), a committee member said. "The Teamster treasuries seem to have attracted a host of para- sites like a strong are light at- tracts bugs." Highlighting the final day of the hearings was a heated denial by Hoffa of committee assertions that he threatened to arrange the slaying of Sol Lipman, lawer 'for a 'rival union. Counsel for the Senate Rackets Committee said that he has evi- dence that James R. Hoffa once threatened to have the lawyer for a rival union assassinated. Hoffa denied it.14 times in subsequent questioning. Moscow Asks New Germani Peace 'Treaty BERLIN (R) - Moscow told Red East Germany yesterday the So- biet Union has asked the United States, Britain and France to join in a four-power commission to 'draft a German peace treaty. The West spurned the bid as propaganda. In a note to the Communist East German government, the Russians supported an East Ger- man proposal of Sept. 5 calling for such a commission. The three western governments have no diplomatic relations with the Red German regime. The ernment cannot require a state to operate public schools, nor tell a state government how tax reve- nues may be spent. "In all cases involving the pub- lic schools and integration, the Federal courts have said only that an agency of the state cannot maintain segregation." Dr. T. J. Raney, elected presi- dent of the newly-formed corpora- tion in its first business session today, said Faubus had not sug- gested the creation of the corpora- tion. He said its ,officers. had notl been in contact with Faubus, add- ing, "The governor did not select us." While the schools remain closed, the school board announced it is going to try education by televi- sion. Virgil Blossom, superintendent of schools, announced that tele- vised "classes" will begin next Monday. He said they will run two hours per day, with 30. minutes devoted to each of four subjects- science, history, English and math- ematics. Almond Coml Closure Of Charlottesville Schools RICHMOND, Va. (,') - Gov. J. Lindsay Almond Jr. yesterday ordered state seizure and enforced closure of two Charlottesville schools, and federal .court action in Norfolk paved the way for the shutdown of six others.. Almond's action came after a lengthy conference with Charlottes- ville school board attorney John S. Battle Jr. The two Charlottesville schools .had been ordere to admit Negroes. at the opening of class &MV.' The tvwo schoaU--L ane Hoffa Tells Of Padding BySchmidt WASHINGTON M ~-Teamsters president James R. Hoffa yester- day accused Godfrey P. Schmidt of. inflating expense accounts and' conflict of interest as a member of a court-appointed monitors board named to poice the union. Hoffa said he will move in court to have Schmidt ousted. Hoff a told the Senate Rackets. Investigataing Committee, the Teamsters recently attempted to hire a, private" investigator to look into Schmidt's expense accounts. The Teamsters president had told the committee earlier that he knew of no effort to hire pri- vate detectives to investigate Schmidt. But, he asked permission to change that testimony, explain- ing he had learned during the committee's luncheon recess that an- effort had been made first to hire Maheu, and then others. His lawyer, Edward Bennett Williams, appealed to the com- mittee not to "ask questions that should properly 'go before the court." Committee members in- dicated they would grant the re- quest.

Board Notice Similar Almond's notice to the Char- lottesville school board was similar to the one he handed the Warren County board last Friday night when he s ized the integration- ordered 1,40-pupil white high school at Front Royal. More than 500 members of the Warren County Parent-Teachers Assn. last night voted down a resolution that the organization strongly urge the local school board and the County Board ,of Supervisors (the governing .body) to petition Gov. Almond to return the school for immediate reopen- ing. The school could be returned to local control if requested by county authorities, but its operation on an integrated basis would mean the cut-off of all state funds. Appoint Citizens Committee Approved was the appointment of a citizens' committee to consider plans for interim schooling at the school-the only high school in the northwest Virginia county. Earlier today, the Governor said he had no idea how long the Warren County High School would remain .closed. Battle told reporters later this "leaves it up to the state authori- ties now. We have fought this 'thing just as hard as we can." PlanTo Ask For Funds, Lewis Says The University plans to ask for federal loan funds under the new Defense Education Act, at the next Regents' meeting Vice-Presi- dent for Student Affairs James A. Lewis said yesterday. Michigan. State University had announced. earlier that it would take advantage of the act to in- crease its student loan fund. Michigan State also. will waive tuition fees for children of state servicemen who died as a result of war action. John A. Hannah, MSU Presi- dent, told the board that Michi- gan's economic situation has taken a sharp toll in enrollments'He said a new deferred payment plan for college education already has more than 1,000 applicants in its first tryout. Members of the State Board of Agriculture, MSU governing body, voted to apply for federal student loan money under terms of legis- lation approved by congress. A maximum of $250,000 might be available but the board was told that Congress did not appropriate enough to carry out all provisions of the plan. Long Rane Atlas Missile Disintegrrates CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ()- A fire-belching Atlas missile blew up with a violent roar 90 seconds after launching yesterday on what reportedly was the first intercon- tinental range attempt. The 85-foot missile thundered away on what appeared to be a. perfect launching at 4:26 p.m. (EST). Shortly after it curved from its speedy vertical climb, a bright ball of orange flame was seen. Plunged to Earth There followed in, quick succes- sion a hugh puff of smoke and debris which flashed against the afternoon sun as it plunged back toward the earth. The failure was a bitter disap- pointment for Convair technicians who had worked 14 months to pre- pare the mighty rocket for today's momentous 6,325 statue mile at- tempt. "Approximately 80 (CQ) seconds after the Atlas was test-launched the vehicle exploded and destroyed itself. The cause of the malfunc- tion is not yet known. Failure Bitter Disappointment This was the 13th Atlas launch- ing and the second fully powered versionof the missile to blow up in two months. The spectacular breakup, about 60,000 feet in the sky, came after the mighty ICBM had flown suc- cessfully on three consecutive tests at a range of 3,000 miles. The first fully powered Atlas exploded 45 seconds after launching. The Air Force made no official announcement that this would be the first "all-the-way" test for the "Big A," but it was learned that this was the big day. Formosa Dulles . ____ Asks U.S., China Conference Kept Secret Sunday Morning Set For Next Meeting WARSAW, Poland (P) - The United States and Communist China talked terms for a cease- fire in the Formosa Strait for two, 'hours here last night but demands and counterdemands were kept rigidly secret. United States Ambassador Jacob Beam and Red Chinese envoy Wang Ping-Nan emerged silent from their second meeting of the week in Mysliwiecki Palace. "We will meet again Sunday at 9 a.m.," was all they would tell reporters The silence, combined with the unusual length of the first two sessions, left the impression that the two were talking cold turkey and not mouthing police nothings. This belief, prevalent in diplo- matic quarters following the talks with intense interest, was bol stered by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' speech to the United Nations Assembly, in which he said "We seek a prompt cease-fire which will eliminate provocations and leave the possibility of a peaceful resolution of different claims and counterclaims." Beam, it is understood, con- tinued efforts to get to the root of Chinese demands. Aim of the War- saw talks is to find out what Red China's position is and what. the Communists will agree to. The Polish Communist press said both sides had received defi- nite instructions after Monday's exploratory talks and had gotten down to essentials. A main sticking point is under- stood to be American insistence on Red China's agreeing to re- nounce the use of force in the area. Peiping resisted that sug- gestion in the earlier two-power ambassadorial talks which lasted from August 1955 to December 1957. Bike Licenses On Sale Now, Students still riding bikes with- out 1959 licenses must get new li- censes by the end of the month, Ann Arbor police said yesterday. The fifty cent licenses are sold at the city clerk's office in the City Hall at Fifth and Huron. The light grey and black 'tags will be valid from Oct. 1 of this year through Sept. 30, 1959. The clerk's office estimated that more than 500 of the licenses had been sold since the beginning of the week. Claim Five Red Jets Downed b Naio ists TAIPEI, Formosa () - Chinese Nationalist jet pilots claimed yesterday they shot down five Communist MIGs and sank three Red torpedo boats in the Quemoy area. They claimed also the possible destruction of a sixth MIG and damage to a fourth PT-boat. Nationalist air force headquarters re- ported all its Sabre Jets returned to base ,safely. U.S. headquarters said no American pilots were involved in the action. But the American command on Formosa has indicated U.S. jet fighters will go into action to aid the Nationalists if Communist planes attack Nationalist cargo planes making supply drops. on the offshore islands. The Reds thus far have refrained from such attacks. The Communists charged that 16 Nationalist planes flew over Fukien Province on the mainland Thursday and that one was shot down and another hit. Peiping' Radio made no mention of any losses to its planes or torpedo boats. Another broadcast, however, charged that American warships penetrated Red Chinese territorial waters six times yesterday and quoted a foreign ministry spokes-+ man as calling these "serious armed provocations." He said the Red Chinese government was giv- ing its "sixth warning against these provocations." ok Show Rise About one per cent of the new Undergraduate Library's total book collection was taken from the open shelves in the first nine months of its operation, according to Roberta C. Keniston, librarian. More than 750 volumes have been stolen from the library's 60,000 available books since the. opening of the $3 million building' on January-16, 1958. This figure is the final compu- tation, after all books had been returned to the Univer'sity library from books dropped. in other libraries, book stores and other_ places, Mrs. Keniston said. Many, books found during, the summer reduced the figure tosomesextent. When asked if the losses oc- curred in any special type.of book or fields of study, Mrs. Keniston said the books were taken from all parts of the library and were con- cerned with all types of subjects. No patterns, of losses were dis- covered. "A surprisingly small percentage of the losses were non-circulating reference books and overnight re- served copies. The. vast majority" of the books taken, were regular books that could be taken :out for the usual two week loan period," she said. I UAW Plans, 'Get Tough' Bargaining, -0 Prompt ~~-iCease Fr World News Round up By The Associated Press LOUISVILLE -- The Kentucky president of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People said yesterday state police are investigating reports four Negro students at an integrated Mad- isonville school still are under harassment. James Crumlin of Louisville said he telegraphed Gov. A. B. Chandler that rocks and vegetables were being thrown daily at from Pride Avenue Elementary DETROIT (-The United Auto Workers, with a Ford contract settled, adopted a tougher attitude7 yesterday in bargaining with Gen- eral Motors and Chrysler. It warned GM that the "time has come for them to quit playing games" and told Chrysler that ma- chinery for a strike might be set, in motion if real progress is not made soon. The UAW summoned its execu- tive board for a 1 p.m. meeting tomorrow to approve the Ford con- tract and review Chrysler and General Motors negotiations. The board could. be asked for strike' authorization at that time. GM and Chrysler resumed talks with Walter Reuther's union to- day, but declined to comment on whether the Ford-UAW pact work- ed out yesterday had given either side a bargaining advantage. At Solidarity House, home of the UAW, there was no such re- luctance. Every union official from President Reuther down felt the gains made in the Ford contract would be a springboard for further gains from GM and Chrysler.' The UAW made it plain it would not accept merecarbon copies of the-Ford agreement from GM and Chrysler. May Announce New Algerian- Government CAIRO () - The Egyptian press said yesterday an Algerian government' in exile will be pro- claimed throughout the Arab world tomorrow. A spokesman 'for the Algerian National Liberation Front' (FLN) refused to confirm the report, but did say a statement would be made tomorrow. Formation of a so-called free Algerian government would give formal face to the FLN executive committee, which has been di- recting the four-year fight against the French in Algeria. Setting up the government now obviously would be timed 'with an eye on the Sept. 28 French con- stitutional referendum, as well as the scheduled UN debate on Al- geria. Such a step by the FLN could bring on a. whole series 'of prob- lems. The question of 'recognizing the government would prove em- barrassing to many countries in their relations with France. For- mation of the exile government had been delayed in the past ,for fear that some mideast countries, such as Tunisia, Morocco and Iraq, would not recognize it. But FLN leaders say the time is now ripe. Garg' Staff Positions Open Petitions for senior positions on Gargoyle staff are available to- day at 4:30 p.m. in the Gargoyle office. Puts Hopes In Warsaw' Peace Talks U.S. Reserves Right To Toss Problem Into UN Assembly UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. () - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles called last night for a prompt cease-fire in the Formosa strait that would set the stage for peaceful negotiations of all issues in that powderkeg area. In a mildly worded major, policy speech to the 81-nation general assembly, Dulles expressed hope this could be accomplished at the United States - Communist China diplomatic talks in Warsaw. But he added that if the talks fail, the United States reserves the right to toss the Formosa crisis into the United Nations. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, the only speaker at the afternoon Assembly session, scrib- bled notes while Dulles spoke. Gromyko is expected to accuse the United States of aggression against Red China, and renew demands that the United States withdraw its military- support of Nationalist China. Rejection Not Final A United States spokesman in- dicated Communist China's rejec- tion of a cease-fire as broadcast by- Peiping radio was not regared as a final word, and the United States believes an agreement is still possible. Dulles charged Communist China with attempting to seize the .Nationalist-held offshore is- lands of Quemoy and Matsu "by naked force." He said the' issue "is thus a simple one' armed aggression, and 'the United States considers it "a grave threat, with ominous' implications." Seek Eqitable Conditions He expressed hope a peaceful solution could be found, in the Warsaw talks, and added: "We seek a prompt cease-fire and equitable conditions that will eliminate provocations and leave for peaceful resolution the dif- ferent claims and counterclaims that are involved." Dulles said the United States plans to discuss with president- elect Fuad Chehab of Lebanon soon after he takes office on Sept. 24 "a specific schedule" for early withdrawal of, the remaining United States troops in that coun- try. Dulles also expanded on the proposal of President Dwight D. Eisenhower for a standing UN, peace force,. stressing that it should be .a peace force and not a combat force. Its . duties, he added, would be to "observe and' patrol, and by its very presence make visible the interest of the world community in the main- tenance of tranquility."

In the past week 72 new cases, have been reported in the city, six less than the previous week's 78. LONDON - Laborite leader Hugh Gaitskell said' yesterday Red China's admission to the United Nations is "an obvious condition" of any settlement of the Formosa crisis. "We take the view that recent events have shown even more clearly the absurdity of keeping out of the United Nations the government of a nation of 600 million people," he told reporters. * * * WASHINGTON - The Demo- cratic National Committee says if President Dwight D. Eisenhower had used the moral authority of his office to promote orderly in- tegration of schools the "school- opening crises of these last years could have been avoided." Police Ask Bicyclists To Observe Laws' Many' students, entering the University-thissyear, may not realize that bicyclists are not exempt from obeying the Michi- gan Motor Code, Lieut. H. G. Schlupe, head of the traffic bu- reau, said. "Bicyclists must obey the same rules and regulations as motor vehicles," Lieut. S c h l u p e ex- plained. This means, he said, obeying stop signs and signal lights, driv- ing on the right side of the road and all .the rest of the provisions of the Michigan Motor Code. Bicyclists are also warned to be especially careful of their bikes during this period, as one Ann Arbor police officer, viewig the influx of students, commented that "the season of bicycle thefts has begun again."
