Red Tape Slows NDE Program; ,
Office of Education Calls Meeting
By THOMAS HAYDEN
Student loans, financed by federal funds, may still be available
as planked by early next semester when demands hit a peak at the
University, the United States Office of Education has reported.
But there are some indications that red tape in Washington has
fouled the machinery of the loan .program, which, under the National
Defense Education Act, would make up to $250,000 open to the Urd.
versity.
The federal office, in charge of channeling $40 million into vari-
ous fields of education during the next year, has called a Dec. 1 meet-
ing in Chicago to discuss the recently-passed education act. Repre-

Severs Ies
To, National
By THOMAS KABAKER
The Amherst College chapter of
theta Xi voted Friday to sever ties
with the national fraternity, ac-
cording to William Segal, presi-
dent of the group..
The chapter had been suspended
in August, 1957 following the
pledging of a Negro. Segal said
the chapter originally was sus-
pended by the Grand Lodge which
governs the national organization
between the fraternity's conv-
tions.
The national convention meet-
ing later in the month then vQted
to resuspend the group.
Convention Ratio Higher
For the convention to, take the
initiative in revoking the chapter's
charter would have required a
two-thirds mdjority instead of the
simple majority needed after ac-
tiqn has been taken by the Lodge,
Segal said.
The local chapter was suspended
for "disrupting the general wel-
fare of the brotherhood," Segal
added. He said the chapter had
tried to bring to the floor of the
convention that the real issue was
the fact that the group had
pledged a Negro.
"Never during the course of the
discussions did the national Ira-'
ternity use the words Negro or
discrimination," Segal said.
Showed fisrespect
The national officers had
charged the Amherst chapter with
presenting "numerous, and formid-
able problems." Segal said the
charges referred only to a case
several years ago where the chap-
ter had shown disrespect toward
national officers and fad dis-
played a laxity in keeping the
fraternity's ritual.
Seven of the twelve members-of
the Grand Lodge come from the
South, Segal noted,

At Fratermnty
Meeting Hotel
Negro delegates to the National
Interfraternity Council's annual
meeting Dec. 4, 5 and S will be
prohibited from staying at the
same hotel as the other delegates,
it was revealed yesterday.
In a letter to the Dean of Men's
office, the national group called
the University's attention to he
fact that the meeting will be held
in Atlanta, Ga., and that state
and local laws prohibit white ho-
tels from accepting Negro trade.
Normally, delegates are expect-
ed to live at the Atlanta Biltmore
Hotel, where the annual meeting
will be held. According to the let-
ter, however, Negro delegates may
attend the meeting but would not
be allowed to linger in the halls,
use the lobby, eat in the dining
rooms or use the hotel's rest
rooms. The letter said separate
hotel and eating accomodations
would be made for Negroes wish-
Ing to attend.
According to the Dean of Men's
office, no Negroes from the Uni-
versity are planning to attend.
None attended the meeting held
in Colorado Springs last year, it
added.
Plans for the meeting are under
the direction of Prof. Huston T.

partmnent at Louisiana State Uni-
versityoy
He refused to say why Atlanta
)sentatives of all midwestern col-
leges applying for aid under the
act, including the University, will
attend.
Slowness Concerns 'U
Some University officials have
shown concern over the program's
"sluggish pace."
The University Regents have
authorized a request of $250,000
to increase the loan fund here.
Thus far, however, not even the
applcation forms. have been sent
to interested schools.
Cites Alternate Plan
If the loan appropriations are
not received by next semester,
the University will have to "make
every effort to take care of stu-
dent needs," Dean of Men Walter
B. Rea said yesterday.
He warned that "making every
effort" might involve curtailing
some loan requests.
Bequest Seen Helping
It is expected, however, that a
$200,000 bequest from the estate
of the late Della Nobel, of Pon-,
tiac, will help alleviate the student
loan problem for the coming se-
mester.
Dean Rea will be among the
University delegation to the re-
gional meeting at the University
of Chicago. Other University per-
sonnel will attend and take part
in the four discussions to be held
with federal officials.
Discussions will center on pro-
visions of the act regarding loans,
graduate fellowships, guidance
and counseling, and foreign lan-
guage development.

CHARLEVOIX, Mich. (') - A
violent storm on Lake Michigan
last night was feared to have sent
a big cargo ship with a crew of 35
to the bottom with all hands lost,
Hours of search on turbulent
waters found bits of wreckage be-
lieved from the stricken Carl D.
Bradley and no signs of survivors
from her crew.
As temperatures plunged to-
ward sub-freezing levels on the
storm-whipped lake, a search
went on with surface vessels fight-
ing mountainous waves and

'No Boats Visible'
Late last night the captain of
a rescue ship, the German motor-

"I believe all hands are lost. No

CE LEGISLATURE:

Republican State Rep. George W. Sallade last night urged Demo-
cratic organizational control at the next session of the evenly-split
House of Representatives.

The charges came on the heels
of a warning in Moscow by Pravda,
the Soviet Communist party news-
paper, that the Soviet Union will
end the four-power occupation of
Berlin-with or without Western
consent.
In the past week, the Soviet
Union has repeatedly claimed the
Allies have violated the spirit of
occupation agreements and should
get out of West Berlin, an island
inside Soviet-run East Germany.
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush-
chev said last week the Russians
are giving up their occupation
rights in East Berlin and advised
the allies to do the same.
Presented to Press
The idea was developed today at
the two and one-half hour news
conference, attended by 300 West-
ern and Communist newsmen.
A reporter for Tass, the Soviet
news agency, asked what anti-
Soviet activities were being carried
out in West Berlin.
J. V. Beburov, first secretary of
the Soviet Embassy who was con-
ducting the news conference, turn-
ed the question over to an ex-
Soviet army officer who allegedly
deserted to the West but later
decided he wanted to go back
home.
Appears on Television
The ex-officer, I. V. Ovchin-
nikov, got up in the glare of Com-
munist television lights and
charged:
"The territory of West Berlin
is being used for subversive ac-
tivities against the German Demo-
cratic Republic (East Germany)
and the Soviet Union."
He said much of the activity,
stems from NTS, an anti-Soviet
organization of Russian Emigres.
With American backing, they are
using West Berlin as a base for a
clandestine radio station, a print-
ing plant and the launching of
balloons carrying leaflets, Ovchin-;
nikov said.
His remarks were seconded by
another Russian who identified
himself as V. S. Ilyinski, an acro-
bat who deserted the Moscow State
Circus.
Both said that after their de-
sertions, the West German po-
lice had turned them over to
American intelligence agents who
wanted to train them as anti-
Soviet spies.
The United States mission in
Berlin declined immediate com-
ment on the charges.
ty .. . could only lead to continual'
bickering and an eventual break-
down of the legislative process."
"I have always considered my-
self a realistic politician," Rep.
Sallade continued. It would ap-
pear a far wiser course of action,"
both politically and morally," to
permit the Democratic Party to
organize the House, he said.
Would Discount Charges
Rep. Sallade added the Demo-
cratic Party control of committees
would discount their charges of
deeply-entrenched GOP power in
the House.
"For a long time we have wit-
nessed in Michigan the claims of
the Democratic Party that the

CAIRO (A) - Gen. Ibrahim Ab-
boud assumed Sudan's premier-
ship yesterday as a strongman
with full legislative, executive and
Judicial powers.
The 58-year-old army com-
mander, reputed to be moderate
politically, formed a 12-man cab-
inet dominated by military offi-!
cers to take over rule of that east
African nation from A ullah
Khalil's deposed pro-Western re-
gime.
Paralleling this was the forma-
tion of a military council of 13
officers-with Abboud as chair-
man. It becomes the high com-
mand of the British-trained armed
forces, 12,000 strong.
T"The head of the high com-
mand of the armed forces is the
supreme power in Sudan," said a
decree broadcast by the radio at
Khartoum, the Sudanese capital.
Abboud's assumption of full
powers in the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial fieldsvwas dis-
closed in connection with the crea-
tion of the cabinet. The cabinet is
made up of five civilians, none
previously prominent in Sudanese
political affairs, and seven officers.

Zorin Gives Proposa
To Study Committee
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (P)-
The Soviet Union submitted a ne
proposal on outer space to th,
United Nations yesterday.
It went a long way toward meel
ing the position of the Unite
States and brewing an East-Wei
deadlock.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Ministe
Valerian Zorin placed the ne'
proposal before the 81-nation Polt
'tical Committee. It had then
important elements:
Drops Demands
1) It dropped previous Sovle
demands 'that abolition of U.S
overseas military bases be tied 1
with the question of internationi
control of outer space.
2) It proposed the creation of
11-nation study group to prepar
the groundwork for a permanent
UN committee for cooperation i
the study of outer space for peace
ful purposes.
This came very close to a pro
posal being pushed by the Unite
States, 'Britain and 18 other pow
ers for creation of a special com
mittee to study all aspects of thi
problem.
Showed Plan to Lodge
Zorin showed the new proposa
to United States Ambassadox
Henry Cabot Lodge at a privat
conference prior to its presenta
tion to the Political Committee,
Lodge welcomed it as "a sign
that the Soviet Union may b
willing to cooperate in some peace
ful endeavor in outer space."
But Zorin made clear at a newv
conference that Soviet concession
to the United States did not signify
any willingness to make simila
moves in Geneva. Talks are in
progress there on ending nuclea:
weapons tests, and on working ou
methods for detecting surprise
attack.
Convoc~iion
Arthur S. Adams, president
of the American Council of
Education, will speak at 11 a.m.,
today in Hill Aud. on "Religion
in Today's University."
This special Uniyersity con-
vocation, a part of Interna-
tional Week, is also the con-
cluding event in the four-day
National Conference on Re-
ligion and the State University.
All classes will be dismissed
at 10:40 a.m.
Bhoard Approves Formar
For House Applicaion
By RALPH LANGER
The residence hall's Board of Governors yesterday approved a
new men's residence application form.
The new application was devised to implement last year's residence
halls policy and requires no pre-residence photograph. It also removes
parenthetical suggestions for answering several questions.
The approved form, which will go into effect during 1959, asks
prospective residents to describe themselves and the roommate that
they might desire, without suggesting such items as race and religion.
The question of having parents approve their son's choices
received some discussion. The Board finally approved a general state-
, ment that the University suggest
tthe parents that they read their
son's form. John M. Hale, senior
director, men's residence halls, and
Walter B. Rea, Dean of Men, felt
that if parents read their son's
0 S preferences, some difficulties
might be avoided after the selec-
to tion of-roommates.

Tests 'Right'--Zorin
In response to a question, Zori
said the Soviet Union has a "per-
fectly legitimate right" to con-
tinue nuclear tests during the
Geneva talks. He reiterated Soviet
insistence upon agreement to end
tests "for all time."
He said also the Soviet Union
would continue to press for aboli-
tion of United States overseas
bases, and a ban on sending mili-
tary missiles into outer space. Hi
indicated this might be done in
the newly expanded 81-nation UN
disarmament commission.
But on outer space he empha-
sized that the Soviet Union now
expects the United States and
other sponsors of the 20-nation
resolution to show ''the necessary
flexibility and follow the path of
mutual agreement,"

Mrs. Roosevelt Spells Out Challenge
By SUSAN HOLTZER
Eleanor Roosevelt last night
spelled out a world challenge to
the United States, keynoting In-
ternational Week with a call for
international leadership.
The challenge of Communism,
Mrs. Roosevelt said, will be issued
mainly in the underprivileged na-
tions of the world. And to meet it,
she said, this country must under-
stand that "in a large part of the
world, the first freedom is the
Freedom to Eat."
America's greatest opportunities
for positive leadership lie in , the
economic and spiritual spheres,
she said. And she asked increased
efforts in these "two areas where
we could lead but are not."
Could Lead Spiritually
she said, "particularly because
some countries do not buy these
things anyway."
'Understanding' Cited
These steps, Mrs. Roosevelt
said, are one factor of leadership;
"understanding" is the other. "If
you are going to convince the
underprivileged nations that your
type of world is better than an-
other, you must understand how
the rest of the world lives, how
they feel and what their problems
are." she declared.
The great thing demanded of
the American people, she ex-
plained, is a "world viewpoint,"
something that does not come
overnight.

nist world. Mrs. Ronevelt said.
