10 SHOPPING DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS Sixty-Eight Years of Editorial Freedom :4ai i4l VOL. uLX K.No.72 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1958 I wan wca .. . ++*.. ... i I b Declaration By Russians Said Strong Called Stern Warning On Western Action MOSCOW (A) - Neutral diplo- mats yesterday interpreted the latest Soviet statement on the German situation as a stern warn- ing to the Western powers against trying to reinforce their garrisons in West Berlin. "I do not recall having read any stronger one in my time here of what will happen if Western powers attempt to break into Ber- lin by force," said one veteran sl plomat. He was referring to the official Tass News Agency declaration that any Western use of force tp main- tain access to Berlin would be met by Soviet force. Example of Tough Policy Most diplomats called the Soviet statement another example of the Kremlin's tough policy, backed by political and industrial successes, of the past few months. These sources found the Soviet government equally determined to keep the subject of German unifi- cation separate from its proposal to make West Berlin a disarmed free city. "It sounds, when reading the statement, like the Kremlin and the Western Powers are talking at completely opposite ends," said one ambassador. The Western Powers want to discuss Berlin within the framework of German reunifica- tion. The Soviet Union shouts an emphatic 'no' to that suggestion, saying there can be no top level meeting to discuss unification. Anything Can Happen "In the face of that situation, anything can happen when the Kremlin carries out its threat- which I believe,it will-to transfer its occupation powers to the East German regime next May." Neutral envoys said they were pessimistic about the possibility of bringing the sharply and bit- terly opposing viewpoints of the West and the Soviet Union to- gether on West Berlin before the end of the six-month deadline set by Premier Nikita Khrushchev last month, "It looks more and more like we are heading for a new crisis. in Europe," said one. "if the Soviet Union turns over its occupation powers to East Germany, and if thereafter the East Germans at- tempt to control or curtail the cor- ridors between West Germany and West Berlin anything can hap- pen." The Western Powers - the United States, Britain and France -refuse to recognize the Com- munist government of East Ger- many. Several envoys gave special at- tention to this part of the Tass statement: "Any attempt to break into Ber- ,lin by force would signify an at- tack upon the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and thereby upon its allies under the Warsaw Treaty." "Unless there is an unexpected change before the end of _this month, it's going to be farcical to say 'Happy New Year' and really expect it." Mosher Talks With Schaadt About Protest Mosher Hall's protest against residence hall adniinstrative poli- cie~s was discussed by representa- tives of the House Council and Leonard A. Schaadt, Business Manager of Residence Halls, at a meeting yesterday. "We made a great deal of prog- ress in solving certain of the prob- lems," Schaadt commented. The situation concerning permission to eat late when there is a class conflict has already been taken care of, Schaadt mentioned. To work out the rest of the problems, Schaadt will hold a meeting with the residence hall dietitians early next week. "We will use the Mosher pro- test as a basis for working out the pressing matters." he added. At a press conference follow- ing yesterday's Board of Regents meeting.

Burton reaches high into the air in an effort to tip in another two points. The tall Michigan co-captain's 38-point total last night against Butler included several baskets made in this manner. Cagers Win, 86-70;P" Burton Ra'cks Up 38, By JIM BENAGH Last year at this time a pack of Bulldogs defeated a band of Wolverines in a battle that upset the "law of the wild." However, last evening the Wolves showed that things are status quo again-with just one fact: Michigan's Wolverines 86, Butler's Bulldogs 70, And the wildest Wolverine of all in Yost Field House was senior co-captain M. C. Burton, whose play before last night was far from his 1957-58 pace. . Burton completely disjoined Butler's defense by jump-shooting his way to a Michigan single-game scoring record with 38 points and Editor Says ITU Strike Nears End The Washtenaw branch of the International Typographical Union has voted to go back to work for the Ann Arbor News, according to News editor Arthur Gallagher. Joe Jameson, of the local branch of the ITU said, "I think it's just about over." Gallagher said last night the paper could expect to start pub- lishing early next week, but there were still certain little angles to be worked out. Statement Issued This followed a joint statement by management and the ITU, which indicated that there was a firm basis for an early settlement of the strikes against the Booth Newspapers, Inc. The Ann Arbor News is a mem- ber of the chain. Also included in the statement was the announcement that the local union committees are re- turning to their cities to report the offer by management to the local unions. The statement was issued by James E. Sauter, the management negotiator, and Joseph Bingel, who represented the TU. Locals Must Agree Any agreement that is reached by the top level negotiators will have also to be agreed on by the local unions before work can be continued on the newspapers. It was pointed out by Gallagher that the approval of the conditions set by the top level negotiators does not have to be a unilateral one as far as the local unions are concerned. In fact, he continued, the nego- tiation is going on in a different basis in Flint and Grand Rapids. Both the Union and the man- agement spokesman said that the offer by the management covered the entire contract that had been in dispute. The ITU has been on strike against the Booth Newspapers since late in November. During the early stages of the strike Gallagher said among the main issues under dispute were a wage increase and an increase of the fringe benefits. Trains Run, Extra Cars Space on New York Central trains is available for students going home over Christmas, ticket agent Alex Hahilton has reported. Extra cars will be running from Wednesday until Jan. 5, the ticket office reported yesterday, with Fri- day expected to be the peak. Reserved coach seats are re- quired only on- the 6 p.m. Twilight Limited for Chicago, Hamilton explained, and since cars will be added, reservations may still be made. All other trains, including the eastbound New York Special (3:15 p.m.) and the Wolverine (6:32 p.m.), for New York City and Bos- ton, will carry extra equipment proportional to demand shown at the ticket office. Reservations are not required. Sleeping accommodations on these eastbound trains may be in short supply, according to Hamil- ton, but the railroad will attempt to adjust to demand expressed. Tol Authorized To Borrow ByRegents May Need Funds To Meet Payroll The Regents yesterday author- ized borrowing of funds -to meet salaries and other expenses if pay- ments are not forthcoming from the state shortly. Meanwhile in Lansing, State Treasurer Sanford A. Br-own termed prospects for the state's three major universities receiving funds this month "not very bright. "Unless revenue comes in from some unforeseen source I don't know how we will be able to do anything this month," Brown said. Expects Payment The state currently owes the University $2.6 million for Novem- ber, with a, December check for the same amount now due. Vice- president in Charge of Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont said he expects a paymentefrom the state this month. He added thatrthe University may need to borrow for a very short time at the end of Decem- ber. Last month the State Booard of Agriculture, Michigan State University's governing booard, au- thorized that university to borrow $900,000 to meet expenses because state funds had failed. "The problem is one of antici- pating action on a financial prob- lem which may or may not be necessary by the end of Decem- ber," Pierpont said. "The Regents action will help us proceed in bor- rowing if that becomes necessary." Amount Unknown Since there is a question as to whether borrowing will be needed, he said, the amount of the loan or the rate of interest at which it can be obtained are not known.. The University will have to pay the interest on any loan which it makes to meet expenses. The state paid $25.5 million yesterday to county treasurers to distribute to public school districts. "We have tried to pace our pay- ments so we don't fall behind on welfare payments or endanger the state payroll," he said. In other action, University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher announced that the first authorized Russian text of Boris Pasternak's novel "Dr. Zhivago," will be published by the University Press in January. The book has appeared previously only in English translation ad as a pirated Russian text. Discussion of the Student Gov- ernment Council and Faculty Sen- ate resolutions on the Sigma Kap- pa case were not discussed at the meeting. Regent Eugene B. Power suggested that since the Regents are meeting with SGC next month that would be the proper time for discussion of the issue. PROF. LYNN ELEY ... Extension Service jants C Russian PROF. LESLIE A. WHITE ... anthropology Wolverine Top McGill By AL SINAI Michigan's recovering ice squad, led by the inspired play of Bob White and Gary Mattson, staged a goal parade as they routed a youthful and inept McGill team, 10-1, in the hockey home opener last night. Before a sparse crowd, coach Al Renfrew's puck opportunists wast- ed no time in breaking McGill's back as they scored four goals in the first 12 minutes of the game, and then came back to slam home six more against their tired op- ponents in the final period. White and Mattson scored two goals and an assist each, to lead the "parade" with the Wolverines exhibiting great scoring balance as the other tallies were divided among six players. Hayton Scores Michigan scored early and fast as defenseman Barry "bad boy" Hayton, who later became in- volved in two fights, opened the scoring at 1:45 of the first period, with Mattson's goal coming a few minutes later on perfect passes from center John Hutton and for- ward Steve Bochen, respectively. Sophomore Dale MacDonald netted Michigan's fourth goal of the period as he took a perfect pass from Pat Cushing and cut in on McGill goalie Jimmy Her- ron, pulled him out of the net and slammed the puck home. The Wolverines played a slam- bang type of game, body-checking the smaller, inexperienced McGill players every chance they got. White, who checked McGill's Bruce Hutchinson and Jim Grant so hard they had to leave the ice said, "You've got to hit them hard! to take as much out of them as possible." Late Rampage White was right as the constant hard-skating and checking showed in the final stanza after a score- less second period, as Michigan continued their rampage with White skating in unmolested for See WHITE, Page 8 T ""U l x.. "just missing Don Schlundt's (of Indiana) Field House mark by one point. Good Percentage Lanky 64" Burton, who had averaged only 11.3 going into last night's tilt, connected on 15 of 34 field goal attempts and dropped in all eight of his free throw tries. "Ten of those goals came on as- sorted jump shots, ranging out to 25 feet. This sharp-shooting enabled him to remove Ron Kramer's 34-point record-scored against Northwest- ern three seasons ago-from the Michigan archives. Burton also erased the school and Field House bests for field goals in one game. With five seconds to play, most of the sparse crowd of 2,500 were on their feet, urging M. C.-whose first name is just the two initials- to crack Schlundt's record. Then, on an out of bounds play, the Wolverines tried to work it in to him, but four Bulldogs surrounded him. Tidwell Hits 24th So guard Dale Kingsbury whip- ped the ball over to another scor- ing sensation, John Tidwell and the nonchalant sophomore layed up the ball for his 24th point of the night. Did Burton, who put back-to- back 19 point totals for the halves, know he was going for the record? "How could I help not knowing when Terry (Miller) started throw- ing me the ball every five seconds in the last part of the game?" he questioned after the game.

"The issue of why we are off limits ought to be pressed; if this requires a letter from the Regents, that is what we will do," Univer- sity President Harlan Hatcher said following the Regents meet- ing yesterday. Ann Arbor was placed off limits by the State Department on Jan. 3, 1955, when closed areas were instituted in the United States. Russians must now obtain special permission to enter the area. This was done, President Hatcher ex- plained, both as "retaliation" for Russia's closing certain areas to Americans and because Ann Ar- bor is located in a defense area. Situation Reviewed The University is informally re- viewing this situation now with "key people" in the State Depart- ment, President Hatcher said. Re- gent Roscoe Bonisteel said he Would hesitate to petition the State Department on thematter,. The Regents took no action on the issue but President Hatcher said he "will carry it forward." The Regents want the area opened, if possible, before Presi- dent Hatcher makes a contem- plated trip to Russia in April as head of a United States cultural exchange delegation. "We should ask the State De- partment for consideration to re- ciprocate and receive Russians in light of our President's visit," Re- gent Donald Thurber said. Permitted Twice In two instances this semester, the State Department Permitted Russian visitors to enter Ann Ar- bor. A delegation of nine plastics engineers was permitted to tour campus in November. During Thanksgiving Alexel I. Markushevich, Soviet deputy min- ister of education and Khasan Rashydov, Uzhbek minister of ed- ucation, were permitted a one-day visit to Ann Arbor. Markushevich headed the dele- gation of nine Soviet educators who were entertained at the Uni- versity's Dearborn Center. Friends Invited Prof. Arthur J. Lohwater of the mathematics department in- vited him to Ann Arbor for Thanksgiving Day because of their long-standing friendship, After a two or three day wait, he received the necessary State Department pe r mi sso n, Pof Lohwater explained. Rashydov also received permission to enter the city and was entertained by Lyle M. Nelson, director of Un- versity Relations. "To be cut off from direct con- tact with Soviet scholars is detri mental to the potential of the University on an international scale, for with the large foreign student population here, this 16 an International university," Prof. Lohwater said. Powers Draft control Plan GENEVA WP) - The United States, Britain and Russia last night drew up the framework of an international control system to police a ban on nuclear arms tests. The framework was empty,. It resolved none of the basic di- agreements between East and West. The three powers accepted it as the third article of a draft treaty to stop tests of atomic and hydro-. PRACTICING 'TOGETHERNESS': Coeds Revive Old Tradition at Engine Arch By BRUCE COLE It was crowded beneath the Engineering Arch last night at the bewitching hour of midnight. Nearly 50 people waited breathlessly for the Burton Tower chimes. This was the night women were to become coeds. It all started before Thanksgiving vacation when two men; Paul Springer, '61E, and Bruce Levin, '62E, decided that over half the women on campus were not officially coeds. Tradition has it that in order to become a coed in the University, a woman must be kissed at midnight under the Engine Arch. In order to remedy the condition, the two men typed stencils and sent them to social chairmen in Alice Lloyd and Mary Markley, declaring that in the best interests of Michigan tradition, they were establishing "Become a Coed Night." They asked if there were any women who might want to be "fixed up." contest the fine he received. Moral support has come from other areas. One Ann Arbor min- ister wrote Mitchell earlier this week, sending a five dollar bill to offset the fine. The minister said in the letter, "This makes me mad as the devil." Many students have also come to the aid of Mitchell. "People have come up to me on the street, and given me pennies," he added. "I guess that they expect me to continue putting pennies into parking meters. Most of the people are complete strangers," he added. He said he has done this be- fore, both here in Ann Arbor and' in Washington, D.C., his home. This is the first time that the police have ever picked me up for doing it, he declared. Last night Mitchell said that he didn't know if he would do it t! i "The reply was overwhelming," Springer said. "We thought a again; he would have to think it few replies would be sent back and eve_-yone else would think it was over.! a big joke,"- Tnc-f n i r~r~~rr.vimr. n1.. t.A_ --A ,u- ..... k . , . . . . .. {-w .. .... n .
