LXIX, No. 11 ',.---, r ICA To Continue Contract with 'U' Phoenix Memorial Project Provides Advice to Underdeveloped Nations By PHILIP MUNCK The International Co-operation Administration will be renewing its contract with the Phoenix Memorial Project in November, Prof. William Kerr of the nuclear and electrical engineering departments announced yesterday.y Speaking on a panel discussion of the Development Council in the Union yesterday morning, Prof. Kerr explained that the work with the ICA involves mostly providing technical assistance to under- developed countries. 'Technical Competence' Prof. Kerr called the advice furnished by experts from the projects "the technical competency of ICA outside of regular Atomic Energy Ike's Policy Loses Favor With Public WASHINGTON (P) - All the signs indicate President Dwight D. Eisenhower is losing his battle for greater support of his Formosa policy at home and abroad. He handed- Secretary of State John Foster Dulles the main re- sponsibility for arousing what the administration calls "more under- standing" of this policy. Despite coisiderable effort by Secretary Dullest there are no signs of any major breakthrough. The :State Department has re- ceived about 5,000 letters from the American public since Aug. 23, when Red China started shelling and threatening to invade Na- tionalist-held offshore islands in the Formosa Strait. Officials said the overwhelming majority of these letters pleaded in effect:keep us out of war. One report was that 80 per cent were critical but officials rejected this as too high. They refused, however, to give a precise breakdown. Newspaper editorials and the writings of syndicated columnists, regarded by the Department as molders of public opinion, have continued to be critical of United States policy in the Formosa Strait. United States allies, notably Great Britain, have backed away from involvement in any conflict with Red China over the offshore islands. Even the Asian countries most immediately concerned with any expansionism on the part of Communist China are publicly cool, no matter how much some of them privately urge the United States to risk war and reject ap- peasement. Alarmed at the risk of war, other nations are now coming for- ward as intermediaries. Detroit Airport To Service Jet Airliners DETROIT (M'-The Detroit Met- ropolitan Airport, built to accom- modate jet airliners, opens of- ficially Wednesday. Designated an intrnational ex- pressway airport by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, the 25 million dollar airport features a specially constructed passenger terminal. Facilities at the airport, formerly the Detroit-Wayne Major Airport, include a 2/ million dollar main- tenance 4angar built by American Airlines to handle jet passenger planes. American announced recently transfer of its operations from Willow Run Airport at Ypsilanti to the new airport, effective Oct. 1. Detroit Metropolitan is located on the Detroit-Willow Run Ex- pressway and is some 14 miles nearer downtown Detroit than Willow Run. 'Ensian Tryout Meetings Set Tryout meeting for the Michi- 4Commission employees." ICA is a part of the United States Atoms for Peace program directed by the United States State Department. The contract provides no direct income for the Phoenix Project, Prof. Kerr explained but it is now the only sponsored project of any kind being conducted at the Phoenix Memorial Laboratory. Participate in Discussion He was one of 10 representatives of education' and industry' partici- pating in the discussion. Dr. William H. Beirwaltes, of the medical school, saidtreatment and diagnostic techniques developed through the use of isotopes pro- vided by the Project have made it possible to deal with cases that can be treated in no other way. Dr. Ernest Watson of the medi- :cal school commented that some of these techniques have led to treat- ments of potential hypothyroid cretin children. Not Enough Thyroid These are children who have not received enough thyroid for proper development during the fetal stage. "Five years ago I re- marked that to treat them we must be able to discover ,this con- dition before birth and that's what, we're doing now," he said. The Project has enabled law scholars to "keep up with the engineers" in the legal aspects of atomic energy, Prof. Samuel Estep of the law'school said. Ike Appoints Ge.n. Persons As .Assistant WASHINGTON (MP).-President rDwight D. Eisenhower today picked 'Wilton B. (erry) Persons of the White House staff to succeed Sher- man Adams as his chief assistant. The selection of Persons, a long- time close associate and personal friend of Eisenhower, appeared certain to be popular with mem- bers of Congress, the source of much of the criticism of Adams. Persons, lean, graying 62-year- old Deputy Assistant to the Presi- dent, was chosen six days after Adams dramatically announced his resignation in a nationwide broad- cast. Persons starts familiarizing him- msef with his new job as Assistant to the President immediately. It won't all be strange territory. He has been on the White House staff since Eisenhowermoved in. White House Press- Secretary James C. Hagerty said Adams will remain long enough to assist in an orderly transition- Little Citizens Ban Integration Three to One Faubus Readies Plan For Private Schools LITTLE ROCK 0)-Little Rock voted overwhelmingly last night not to admit Negroes to its all- white schools. Final returns from all 31 pre- cincts, including all absentee votes showed: for integration of public schools 7,565; against integration of public schools 19,470. Faubus Plans Action Gov. Orval E. Faubus said such a verdict will enable him to turn the all-white high schools into private institutions and reopen them without Negro students. He said he would take action tomor- row, or soon thereafter. By telephone from northern Ar- kansas, he told the Arkansas Dem- ocrat when informed of the tally: "The issue was made very clear in the minds of the people and they have made the decision." Report Meeting There were reports that school board members met secretly to- night. School Superintendent Vir- gil Blossom said he would make no statement, however. To put Gov. Faubus' private school plan in operation, the board must lease the schools to a private corporation, set up in Little Rock to operate them. From the first returns tonight, there was little doubt about the outcome of the election. Faubus Gains Votes Those favoring integration car- ried only two of the five polling1 places even in predominantly Ne- gro districts. The vote at Hall High School-thought to be a center of opposition to\ Gov. Faubus-went nearly two-to-one for the segre- gationists. Gov. Faubus, in two 30-minute. television speeches on consecutive weeks, strongly urged the people to vote against integration. He cited a report about conditions in the de-segregated schools of Wash- ington, D.C., to persuade votersj that desegregation in Little Rock would have dire consequences. Plan Successful Apparently, he succeeded com- pletely. He said tonight, however: "The segregationists worked at a disadvantage because they had to realize that the disruption of the public school system, as we have known it, was necessary to maintain segregation in thei schools." Navy Satellite Attempt Fails WASHINGTON (P)-The Navy1 conceded today that its Vanguard satellite never got up to the orbital path at which it was aimed Friday, The announcement, issued 24 hours after the launching at Cape: Canaveral, Fla., said only that the1 Vanguard failed to go high enough or fast enough to attain true orbit.

HOLD REFERENDUM TODAY: French Republic Votes on Constitution PARIS (WP)-Voters on five con- tinents decide yes or no today on a new constitution intended to bring new discipline to France and part- nership or independence for her territories abroad. Th4 outlook was for a yes vote- a massive one-for Premier Charles ue Gaulle, who came dramatically to power in a rightwing revolt that GM-U A W Deadlocked DETROIT (AP) -The auto in- dustry's hopes of getting into full scale production of 1959 models were tied closely yesterday to Gen- eral Motors' efforts to reach con- tract agreement with the United Auto Workers before a Tuesday strike deadline. GM and UAW bargaining teams went into long weekend of negotia- tions with neither side giving any indication it was preparing to modify its stand to e&fect a set- tlement. GM Vice-President Louis Seaton and UAW President Walter Reu- ther said after a two-hour morning session that "some small progress was made." threatened this nation with civil war last May. Teing voted upon is Premier de Gaulle's constitution for the Fifth Republic. To Frenchmen at home it would bring the strongest execu- tive government since Napoleon III 90 years ago. To the millions abroad, it offers the choic of stay- ing witli France or going it alone. These millions live in Africa, French Plynesia and the French territories in North and South America. 44 Million Voters The decision is up to 44 million voters, many illiterate. Only in Algeria, where a bloody nationalist rebellion has raged for four years, do voters lack a clear choice. There, the referendum has been in progress since Friday under the eyes of helmeted soldiers. Re- gardless of how the Algerians vote doubts will remain. The new con- stitution makes no clear provisions for Algeria's future. In France itself, indications are that Premier de Gaulle will win ,overwhelming approval for his constitution. Premier de Gaulle's only real opposition has come from the Communists - who charge him with dictatorial ambitions -- and the Algerian Nationalists, who have waged a campaign of terror in Algeria and France. The terror campaign extended, to the "eve. of the voting, with indiscriminate shootings, bombings and sabotage attempts, and worse threatened on election day. Acceptance Likely Even in Black Africa the likeli- hood is that most of France's hold- ings will spurn illusive independ- ence and accept membership in a new French Community which offers economic help and the. choice of freedom later. The results will begin to pour in. late tomorrow night . (starting about 3 p.m. EST). The results in Algeria ,will start to ,.ome in at the same time. The' voting, "Yes" or "No," is signified by colored slips of paper which differ according to the ter- ritories. ' A - Weapons- Us e 'Warn'ed DALLAS (RP)-Air Force Secre- tary James H. Douglas said yester- day atomic weapons may be used against attacking Chinese Com- munists if necessary. He said merely that modern -United States fighters were ready tot meet the threat if the Reds persist .in use of force against Na- tionalist China, Secretary Douglas declared: "And make no mistake, our fighter bombers and light bombers are as capable of using high ex- plosive bombs or more powerful weapons, if necessary." [n perhaps the frankest acknowl-. edgement of Soviet air strength yet to be made off icially,'Secret'ary Douglas said he believed the Com munists were "somewhat ahead" of the United States in development of ballistic missiles."

MEREDITH WILSON CONDUCTS: Half-Time Band Show Features 1076 Trombones By JAN RAHM Meredith Wilson, composer of the broadway hit, "The Music Man," directed exactly 1076 trombones during the mass high school band concert between halves of yesterday's football game. Prof. William D. Revelli, director of University bands, arranged to have this specific number, in honor of Wilson's song, "76 Trom- bones." This was Wilson's second trip to Ann Arbor. He was a member of John Phillip Sousa's band which played at Hill Auditorium in 1921. Member of Sousa Band Wilson was just out of high school when he was a member of Sousa's band, and he remembers that Hill Auditorium was only a few years old at the time. Rehearsals yesterday morning and the performance in the after- noon went well. Wilson commented. He said that having individual LONDON - Peiping Radio re- ported 14 United States fighter planes and three warships violated Communist. China's air space and territorial waters today. The broadcast said the planes and ships on different occasions intruded into Chinese air space' and territorial waters in the Amoy area. LONDON - Communist China's Foreign Minister Chen Yi said yes- terday the United States will suf- fer utter defeat if it goes to war against his country. Peiping Radio quoted Chen, who is also vice-premier, as saying the United States has been attempting to prevent the Chinese Commu- nists from "liberating our offshore' islands and Taiwan (Formosa)." * * * .k ; ; k. ;. aa :. .. . .. ..._-
