The accreditation 'ervice woul probably be transferred . to th office of Mate Superintendan of Public uction or a coopera tive state committee, Lewis said The University is "questionin 'very much" whether it ought t continue to accredit high school Lewis said; H.b pointed out th only two states - Michigan an CalifornIa-continue to have ui versitles accredit high schools.

It caU0d University accredita tion a "vestigal remnant" of th, times when high schools were con aidered to be "branche~s" of th University. The Russell Report said th pre nt arrangement was uncle sireble because 1) the arrange ment unfairly increases the budge of the University, 2) it does no provide assurance that the super vision of the high schools will no be operated from the narrow pon of view of preparation for colleg and 3) that the University or th stato system of higher educatio in general should not have to bea the burden of ans ering criticism that arise from accreditation deci sions.

Although the request will be (S taken up by the State Board of Agriculture, MSU's goverming body, at its Dec. 18 meeting, r Chairman Conner D. Smith toldS ur H The Daily last night that no imS lJ7 H mediate action will be taken. MSU has already submitted a A las l budget to Lansing asking for money to raise teaching salaries 1 7 ' : Lies gh Vote LATEST ATTRACTION: Library To Present 'Music To Study By, By CHARLAINE ACKERMAN On an experimental basis, the Undergraduate Library will amplify music throughout the second floor for six hours a week, scheduled to begin by next semester, Mrs. Roberta C. Keniston, chief librarian, announced yesterday. "We have noticed that many students listen to records in the Audio Room while studying other than music courses," Mrs. Keniston said. "Since so many students en- Allied Heads 10 per cent. No Revision Seen "There will be no revision of our budget as far as I'm con- cerned," Smith declared. However, he added, "We've got to get salaries increased, and we'll 1 take this up at the board meeting. If we're going to get good people we've got to pay for them." John A. Hannah, MSU presi- dent, last week warned the board that the school ranked ninth among Big Ten institutions in the area of professorial pay. Union Protests Wages The teachers' union, local 1310 of the Federation of Teachers (AFL-CIO), protested against low wages in a letter to Hannah. The letter asked for a 20 per cent boost in wages over ,each of the next five years. If all teaching salaries at MSU were doubled by 1963, instructors would receive between $10,000 and $13,000; assistant professors $13,- 000 to $16,000; associate profes- sors $16,000 to $19,000; and full professors $19,000 and up. The federation's secretary,Ken- neth Macrorie, ankinstructor in communications skills, pointed out that football coach Duffy Daugherty receives substantially more than $20,000 a year, and ar- gued that other salaries "should be brought up to that level." "Fairly Large" Segment MSU Vice-President Thomas Hamilton emphasized that the federation represented a "fairly large" segment of the faculty but "does not speak officially for it." At the same time he warned that the school is in "immediate trouble competitively" because of low salaries. Professors at MSU average $9,- 600 a year, compared to the $11,- 300 averaged by professors in Ann Arbor. "We are relatively worse off now than at any time in recent history," Hamilton said. No Union Seen Here Contacted last night, Marvin L. Niehuss, University Vice-Presi- dent and Dean of Faculties, said he knew of no "teacher's union" on this campus. Niehuss said he did not feel the legislature would appropriate a 20 per cent increase, because of the state's financial problems. He noted, however, that ten per cent "seems to be a reasonable in- crease." In its budget for the 1959-60 fis- cal year, the University has re- quested an increase in teaching salaries of about nine per cent. None "Across the Board" Niehuss explained the nine per cent (representing slightly more than three million dollars) would, not be an "across the board" ap- propriation. If the University receives the money, about five per cent would go for selective increases on the basis of merit, and about four per cent for general increases, he said.

Free WorldI Seeks Test Inspection GENEVA - The West suggest- ed to Russia yesterday the estab- lishment of an international de- tective fdrce free to go anywhere -even into Red China -- to see that any ban on nuclear weapon tests is kept. The United States and Britain unveiled their plan by asking 13 questions to sound out the Rus- sians. Soviet sources said Russian Delegate Semyon Tsarapkin "part- ly answered some of the questions raised;" Western informants said he discussed the points rather than giving any firm answers. Striding from the two-hour meeting,Ambassador James J. Wadsworth told newsmen "we are moving." The Western document put for- ward these views on a control or- ganization: All major nations -- including Communist China - must parti- cipate. Specific operating rules; must be defined. The organization must have unrestricted control of some 180 observation posts scat- tered around the world.1 The international personnel of' these posts must have complete, freedom of movement for on-the- spot investigations without any interference from the country in1 which they are located. joy studying to music, we thought it might be pleasant to play music on one floor of the building at specified times during the week." "The program involves no capi- tal outlay," she noted, "as we already have the equipment on hand in the Audio Room. All it requires is an adaptation of this equipment so that records played in the control room can be piped out into the main room." Use Classical Music "Each day's program will be carefully planned and announced: beforehand," Mrs. Keniston ex- plained. "The Audio Room staff will select non-vocal, essentially classical background music The records will not be ,played at~ concert pitch but at a level at which students can either listen carefully or study without distrac- tion." Noting that the Audio Room is often crowded with students ful- filling class assignments, Mrs. Keniston offered the new plan as an efficient way toaccommodate in many interested students at one time.

Diplomats said the agreement was reached within the past few days. This indicated the Allies had resolved any differences on how to react should the Russians hand over to the East Germans control of Allied lifelines to isolated West Berlin. Withhold Details Allied officials declined to spe out the details of their new plan, keeping the Communists guessing on what to expect. Diplomats said, however, that under the plan the Big Three would refuse to allow Easlt Ger- many to replace Russia on the foul-power Allied Air Safety Cen- ter in West Berlin.z This controls all air traffic in and out of Berlin But East Gerran Comnunit boss Walter Ulbricht, spelled out his intentions. While scoffing a Western fears of a Communist. blockade, he said the Allies would have to negotiate with his regl 'e for free access to Berlin.r Ulbricht Speaks "If I want to travel to London, I must have the permission of the English government," Ulbricht said in an interview with a \ Brit- ish newspaper. "And If the gente- men want to travel to Berlin, they must have the -permission of th government of the DDR (East. Germany). That is Just the way it is." The Communist East German news agency ADN gave the inter- view official sanction by distrib. uting it.

But the Russians themselves seemed to be moving cautiously, teeling out the Allies before taking the big step.

Citing Johns Hopkins Univer- sity, where such a plan reportedly successfully exists, Mrs. Keniston expressed confidence that the stu- dent body at the University wil react favorably to the new pro- gram once in existence. "We would like student reaction to the program once it is in effect,' Mrs. Keniston said, "and will not hesitate to -discontinue it if the program proves unpopular." ' Reds Ask U.S. Move UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. W) - The Soviet Union declared yes- terday it is up to the United States to take the initiative in any negotiations to break the East- West deadlock on the use of outer space. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin told a news con- ference he is pessimistic over any prospects for cooperation in ex- ploration of outer space on a gov- ernmental level. His remarks appeared to doom any efforts by the smaller nations to get the United States and the Soviet Union to resume talks. n uj, Wl wl u i ils own compositions.
