LZUA, No. 30 Humphrey Raps, 'Outmoded' GOP 00to ems Tells Democrats 'Election OCurs, But Cautions' Against Deweyitis' By CHARLES STEGMEIR In a fighting speech at the Union last night, Senator Hubert Humphrey, (D-Minn.) attacked the Republican administration calling them a group of "tired, timid, sick, old men." He described Secretary of State John Foster Dulles as "closer to the Metternich tradition than any living mortal." Speaking to an enthusiastic audience of second congressional district Democrats, he declared, "We have this election if we don't falter. We are engaged in a holding operation. I don't believe we are going to get any more votes from nw on." Cn no Cautioned Against "Deweytis,, He cautioned the partisan audi- ence against falling prey to H ikes R ules "Deweyitis" and becoming over- confident., Sen.

Eisenhower declared last night the Democrats can offer "only deadlocked govern- ment-government that wages war on itself." President Eisenhower flew into California in a frank effort to end feuding between thetop Republi- can candidates - Senator William F. Knowland, who is running for governor, and Governor Goodwin J. Knight, who is after Knowland's Senate seat. A crowd estimated by Los An- geles police at 75,000 gave the President an enthusiastic welcome -complete with showers of con- fetti and paper streamers-as the presidential motorcade moved through downtown Los Angeles. Sounds Unity Appeal President Eisenhower sounded a unity appeal early in his address at the Shrine Auditorium. "Let's have no more family bickering-fancied or real," the President urged. "It just helps de- feat what we want." In a speech prepared for his first of three appearances on behalf of Republican candidates for key posts in California, the President declared: "Either we choose left-wing gov- ernment or sensible, forward-ook- ing. government-spendthrift gov- ernment or responsible government -overpowering federal government or government kept close to home -frustrated, stymied government or efficient government able to keep its promise to America." Endorses Tactics Then he went on, in an all-out endorsement of the campaign tac- tics of Vice-President Nixon, which have been criticized by some Democrats: "If only all of us go full out, as our fine Vice-President, Dick Nixon, has - we together, will achieve victory." President Eisenhower, until now, on a coast-to-coast campaign swing that began last Friday morning, has avoided mentioning either his own party or the Demo- crats by name. But tonight he lit into the oppo- sition under the label of "the Democrat party" - a label that many members of the opposition resent. Uses "Other" Name They insist on being called the Democratic Party. Turning to foreign policy, a major issue in the 1958 campaign, President Eisenhower said that under the Republicans, "during six years of serious international stress, America has remained at peace'" - and that today from Lebanon to Quemoy "those in the world who would do us harm know that America will not be bullied."

O I Fall Election To Decide On Revision (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of 10 articles; written by Prof. Arthur W. Bromnage of the University's political science depart- ment for the Associated "Press on the question of calling a Constitutional Convention. That issue will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.) By ARTHUR W. BROMAGE Michigan's future will be in- fluenced by the voters' decision in November on whether to call a convention to revise the state's Constitution. This question is so vital that the voters are assured in the present Constitution of an opportunity to pass on it every 16 years. The last time the question came up under the mandatory rule was in 1942 when the -country was at war. Constitutional alterations did not seem urgent and the decision: was no. Although the legislators put the question on the ballot voluntarily in 1948, the outcome was the same. What will happen this year? A Convention, once the voters summon it, reports to them-not to the governor, not to'the Legis- lature. It has to be responsible to the people, as the people have to be responsible for calling it. With an obligation to submit recommendations to popular re- ferendum, a Convention is not just a study commission. When its proposals are ready, a majority of those voting on them at the popu- lar referendum is sufficient for their approval or rejection. To get the changes accepted is actually easier than to get a Con- vention called. This is because the Michigan Constitution requires that, to summon the Convention, there must be a majority of all votes cast in the election. - More people are apt to vote for See MICHIGAN, page 3 Fluids Project Lacks Facilities To Fill Needs By ROBERT JUNKER "The first unit.of the Fluids Engineering Building just partially satisfies the needs in that area," Associate Dean of the engineering college Glenn V. Edmonson said yesterday. Discussing the second unit of the building for which the Univer- sity is seeking $2,180,000 from the state legislature this year in capi- tal outlay appropriations, he said the Fluids Engineering structure Indicate End To Recession WASHINGTONM)-The nation has climbed almost three-fourths of the way back from the recession low as measured by total output figures,,the latest government sta- tistics showed yesterday. A 440 billion dollar rate for gross national product--all goods and services-in the third quarter of 1958 was revealed in the Octo- ber "Economic Indicators" pub- lished by the Senate House Eco- nomic Committee. This was an 11 billion dollar jump above the 429 billion annual rate in-the second quarter of this year. The committee said the 440 bil- lion figure for the July-August- September period was a prelimi- nary estimate by President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Council of Eco- has always been conceived of as a whole. The first unit on North Campus, which was occupied this summer, cannpt provide the needed facili- ties without the remaining por- tions of the structure, Edmonson explained. "The engineering col- lege has thought the first unit is, and always was, a part of the total $4 million project," he added. Houses Teaching Area The second unit of the building will house a teaching area for the aeronautical engineering depart- ment, a section for model studies of lakes, an air pollution facility for study of air contaminants, smog and weather, added office. space and additional computing room area. "This additional space is over- due from $he standpoint of need," Edmonson said. He termed present laboratory space "obsolete." The new building will house heavy lab- oratory equipment for which there is no adequate area at present, he added. Built Years Ago New fluids such as nuclear engi- neering have been instituted since the current engineering facilities were built over 30 years ago, he said. Much of the engineering lab- oratory space is thus obsolete, he explained. The building was planned for 1970 in terms of the number of students it could accommodate and. in space for faculty and graduate student research, Edmonson noted. The first unit of the Fluids Engi- neering Building is , a $2 million structure currently in use on North Campus. Ideas Made Practical "New ideas in teaching" will also be made practical because of the new structure and equipment. "A modern wind tunnel for teach- ing purposes" is planned for the. See FLUIDS, page 2 , HOUSING: Supervisor Clondemns Favoritism By KENNETH McELDOWNEY Franklin J. Shepherd, Township Supervisor for Ypsilanti. yester- day charged that the Township Board has shown almost exclusive favoritism to the Willow Woods Development Corp. Ernest Landry, a partner in the Willow Woods Development Corp. strongly denied this, calling such statements "slanderous and un- true." The statements have grown from a controversy stemming from the improvement of the Willow Village area by the Development Corpora- tion. Shepherd investigated the houses that are being sold and claims that they are overpriced and that the builders are getting more than the profit they should, considering that these are supposed to be low cost housing. Cites Difficulty On the other hand, David Cam- bell, one of the assistant managers for the Macway Construction Com- pany, said that the it was difficult to even keep the cost down to $10,000 because of the high cost of labor and materials. It was, he continued, necessary to cut down on the size of the lots and leave out certain Improve- ments such as curbs, -gutters and storm sewers in able to keep the price down so that Willow Village residents would be able to qualify for FHA loans to purchase these homes. fmTells of Complaints Cambell said many of the com-- paints about te housing were made by "a few, hotheads who like to see their name in print." He added that most of the people who have purchased homes there are satisfied and feel that they have adequate housing. George A. Currier, a former building investigator for Ypsilanti Township, stated that he was fired because he would not approve poorly constructed housing in the Willow Village Area, and in one day condemned eight straight houses. Explains Rejections "Human errors" cause most of the rejections, Cambell claimed. He noted that when you are building hundreds of houses it is only natural that some "cracked floors" or "bad lumber" will turn up. "These were quickly corrected," Cambell added. On November 13, 1958, the groups representing the Negroes and the Willow Woods Develop- ment Corp. will defend their state- ments in court. Actor Gilgud To Perform Dulles' Talk With Chiang Seen Cause Red Artillery Breaks Fifteen-Day Cessation Of Straits Hostilities TAIPEI (P)-Red China's siege guns barked out an end to its self-imposed cease-fire around Quemoy yesterday, laying a. grave new situation before Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in his talks with Nationalist China's Chiang Kai-Shek. At a stopover in Fairbanks, Alaska, Dulles termed it a tragedy' that the Communists had decided to return to a "warlike disposi- tion." The Reds broke their 15-day cease-fire by, pouring in more than 11,000 shelns on Quemoy and other islands in two hours and 45 minutes. Later their guns turned to the Tan Islets, a few :
