FRI Repor I ' By ROBERT JUNKER The Engineering Research Institute's 37th Annual Report re- leased today announced over $11 million in research projects carried out in the fiscal year 1957-58. The University's ERI conducted 424 projects during the year, of which 125 were initiated and 104 completed. These projects, which are carried out for industry and government on a contract basis, in-. eluded studies of space navigation, refrigerants and rocket fuels. Almost $3 million were expended for 23 projects in communications and electronics research, including study on low-noise preamplifiers and radar design and development. Authorize Funds Funds are authorized for 320 projects in the current fiscal year, amounting to over $10 million. Research funds were down last year from the high of over $12 million reached in 1956-57, primarily be- cause of uncertainty in Defense Department spending, the report said. This year's spending is the second highest since the Institute was founded in 1920. The Regents this year authorized a change in the Institute, en- larging its scope to cover research in all areas of study. The new or- ganization has been renamed the University Research Institute. Inbestigation this year covered 24 general areas. from acoustics ts Expenses to vision and optics. The Institute also participated in the Interna- tional Geophysical Year studies of the upper atmosphere. Twenty-nine rockets were fired from the IGY installation at Fort Churchill, Canada, to determine upper atmosphere properties such as wind speed, air density and temperature. This research is part of the IGY weather study programs around the globe. Prof. Sidney Chapman, of the aeronautical engineering depart- ment and the Institute, and International Chairman of the Special Committee for IGY, served at the University last year, aiding in re- search projects. University atmospheric research also includes meteorological studies of the lower atmosphere, radioastronomy and various phases of space navigation, the reports state. As part of this research, the new 85 foot radio telescope at Peach Mountain will be utilized. Provides Research Support The Institute last year provided research support for about two hundred faculty members. Total employment, including administra- tive and clerical staffs, was 1600. Students made up nearly half the personnel, the report adds. Half of the Institute's personnel worked on a part-time basis.

Mennen Williams concluded a whirlwind re-election campaign in Washtenaw County yesterday by blasting state Republicans for their "smear Michigan" political tactics. Gov; Williams, sporting his favorite green and white polka dot bow tie, told an estimated 300 Democratic party candidates and workers that the GOP has "blackened the reputation of Michigan all. over America." In his brief address at the Democratic Women's Club of Ann Arbor reception, the Governor said Republicans are "picturing our GM, To Start Produ.ction ,Tomorow, DETROIT (P)-The first ofj General Motors' auto assembly lines will start up tomorrow for the first time in almost three weeks. . Finally getting enough of their United Auto Workers union em- ployes back on the job, GM will set about the task of catching Ford and Chrysler in the 1959 model ,production race. Local plant settlements have opened the way for 175,000 of GM's 275,000 UAW employes to return to work. Negotiations are continuing in an effort to reach settlements at plants still idled by local disputes. GM hasn't turned out a car since the UAW called a national strike Oct. 2 to back up demands for a coptrac settlement. When a na- tionalsettlement wasireached with the strike 12 hours old, the UAW authorized its locals to remain on strike until plant disputes were ironed out. This left GM in the slnique posi- tion of having its vast industrial auto empire paralyzed despite a brand new agreement. One by one the locals have come to to terms with plant manage- ment officials and have headed back to work. X-15 To Start Glider Flights Over Mojave LOS ANGELES (MP) - The new X-15 space research airplane prob- ably will start a series of glider flights over SouthernCalifornia's Mojave Desert in December. -0state as a focus of labor-manage- ment warfare-a haven for goons and racketeers." Blames Ike Gov. Williams laid the blame for the state's economic crisis squarely on the shoulders of Pres- ident Dwight D. Eisenhower and his Republican administration. "There has been' no marshal- ling, no concentrating, no local- izing of the government's power to protect the people against this catastrophe," he said. The Republicans "are trying to persuade the voters that our high unemployment is the result not of something that is wrong in Washington, but something that is wrong in Michigan," he con- tinued. 'Gov. Williams stumbled on the words "high unemployment," at first saying "high employment." But he quickly realized what he had said and quipped, "The script writer left out a very important syllable." Skims Platform The Governor skimmed over the high points of his party's plat- form in the state including a plank urging "adequate support" of higher education. Touching on the establishment of new community colleges, Gov. Williams said no Michigan young person should be more than com- muting distance away from an op- portunity for college training. 'Patchwork' Taxes Gov. Williams answered Repub- lican charges against his ten-year administration by saying the GOP "never mentions the one major thing that really is wrong - the long-standing, one-party control of both Houses in the Michigan Legislature." He traced the state's "lopsided, patchwork tax structure' and "lack of adequate" educational facilities to the Republican dom- inated legislature. Faubus Says Plan Sincere Renews Old Controversy With Nixon Charges Character Assassination Attacks WASHINGTON (A) - Former President Harry S. Truman, re- viving an old feud, yesterday ac- cused Vice-President Richard M. Nixon of character assassination. At the same time Truman struck at some southern Demo- crats while voicing the belief there will be no third party in the South in 1960.. And in a swipe at segregation- ists, Truman said the Democrats can win the presidency two years hence even if they lose some south- ern states-as he did in 1948. The 74-year-old former Presi- dent, here for two days of meet- ings with party workers and for- mer associates, opened up on Vice-President Nixon at a news conference. He did so after it was noted the vice-president recently had some good words to say about Truman's support of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's handling of the Formosa Strait crisis. Truman said that "if Nixon praised me, he did it through an inadvertence." He added that "Nixon once called me a traitor and that's about as low as you can get." The former President made this same charge many times during the 1956 campaign. Vice-President Nixon denied he had accused Tru- man of being traitor in the gen- eral meaning of the word. But he acknowledged that he said in 1952 that Truman was a traitor to the principles of the Democratic party. "I never did any character as- sassination," Truman said. "I think it's the lowest form of poli- tics. Nixon got where he did by, those tactics in California." -Daily-Robert Kanner PLUNGING HALFBACK-Northwestern's Wilmer Fowler, the Big Ten's fastest football player, evades Michigan's Al Callahan (61) and dives into Gary Prahst (86) en route to the Wildcats' third and back-breaking touchdown in the second quarter of Northwestern's runaway victory.

NAACP, WILLOW VILLAGE CONFLICT: Charge Housing Project Segregated ' By KENNETH MCELDOWNEY Willow Village after years of comparative peacefulness, has found itself in the middle of an investigation in which charges of "collu- sion," "sub-standard housing" and "racial prejudice" have been made and denied. William F. Dannemiller, attorney for the Willow Village National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Perman- ent Committee for Civic Action, said that "the potential profit in- volved in the Willow Village housing project is in the millions of dollars."
