LXIX, No. 73 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1958 FIVE CENTS TWENTY PAGES FOR PEACETIME USES: Law School Examines Atom Age Legal Issues By JAMES SEDER , With funds supplied by the Phoenix-Memorial Project, a law school research team is attempting to solve the legal problems of peacetime use of atomic energy. The law school, as a result of this project, is becoming a world center of atomic energy law knowledge, according to law school Dean E. Blythe Stason, chairman of the law school's project. The law sschool started the program in 1951 with the aid of a grant from the 'Phoenix P-oject. Among its most notable accomplish- ments to date was its work on the revision of the 1946 Atomic Energy Act. When the Joint Congressional Committee for Atomic Energy i Democrats ;Ask Balance In Economy MANCHE TER, N.H. ()-Paul M. Butler, Democratic National Chairman, said last night Demo- crats favor a balanced budget, but are also for a balanced and ex- panding economy. "This is more important in the race for survival," Butler said in a speech prepared for a Demo- cratic meeting. "We believe both can be attained." Hitting hard at Republican crit- icisms of Democratic spending pro- grams, Butler said President Dwight D. Eisenhower is trying to "thwart the will of the people by crying out that if the Democratic Congress dares to do what the times and the voters demand, we will be responsible for catastrophic inflation and an unheard of public deficit. "I want to nail this canard right here and now," Butler, wh'o ap- parently referred to President Ei- senhower's day - after - election news conference warning against unnecessary spending and his promise to fight against it in the new Congress starting next month, said. Accuse Ike Of Causig WASHINGTON (A) - President Dwight D. Eisenhower was accused by a former GOP National Com- mitteeman yesterday of condoning the "slaughter of the Republican party." Clarence Budington Kelland, fic- tion writer and ex-committeeman from Arizona, called, in a letter to GOP National Chairman Meade Alcgrn, for a realignment Af both major parties and a coalition of Republicans with Southern Demo- crats in a wholly conservative party. Kelland, who backed the late Senator Robert A. Taft's unsuc- cessful bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 1952, said "the blame for the disgraceful Republican defeat on election day should be placed squarely where it belongs-on the lap of President Eisenhower." He also assailed what he called President Eisenhower's "incredibly stupid. appointments, chief of which was that of Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the United States. "With this appointment . . . he placed in the highest judicial posi- tion in the world R man who did. not know the difference between a law book and a farmers' alma- nac:" Kelland said. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel (R- Calif.) fired back in an interview that ISelland was "100 per cent wrong" in his attacks on Presi- dent Eisenhower and Justice War- ren. OP Discusses Gov. Williams LANSING P) - A resolution charging Gov. G. Mennen Williams of playing politics in his decision to extradite former United Auto Workers organizer John Gunaca to Wisconsin bumped into opposi- tion yesterday at the Republican State Central Committee. The committee unexpectedly tabled the indictment of the decided to revise the act, they asked the American Bar Associa- tion to submit a recommendation for changes. The ABA set up a committee under the chairman- ship of Dean Stason. Do Research Because most of the research work done in the field up to this' time had been done by the Uni- versity law school group, most of: the ABA's report to the Joint Committee was the result of work, done by the law faculty team. The summation of the law school group's research efforts to date are contained in the book "Atoms and the Law." This book has al- ready been sent to the printer and should be completed in about six months, according to Prof. Samuel Estep of the law school, who pre- pared a major portion of the book. When the group started its work, Prof. Estep said, they were unsure what the specific legal problems of atomioenergy would be. Some of the areas which they thought might be of vital concern would be licensing powers of the federal government in regard toI atomic materials, problems of cen-' sorship, problems of patent rights, labor relations, and the problems of liability for injury to persons and property. Concentrate on History To date, the law school group has concentrated its effortsgpri- marily on a study of a history of theact and itsimplications for the use of lawyers and on the problems of licensing and injury liability: to what extent are the owners of reactors liable for acci- dent involving fissionable material; if an accident occurs at a reactor, do normal liability rules operate or do strict liability rules govern atomic energy operations? (Dean Stason spoke on this subject last summer at the Second Interna- tional Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy held in Switzer- land.) Investigate Statutes Prof. Estep explained that the law school has investigated exist- ing statutes and cases in an at- tempt to judge which would be See LAW, page 5 UAW Strikers Call Meeting DETROIT (F')-The United Auto Worker: called two meetings of striking Chrysler Corp. workers for today, giving rise to hopes for quick settlement of walkouts which have idled 41,000 workers.I i I DEAN E. BLYTHE STASON . ..*chairs committee Four Locals Vote Down Booth Offer Three Others Accept Settlement Terms By The Associated Press Printers at four newspapers of the Booth Newspapers, Inc., group yesterday-voted to reject a new contract offer aimed at ending a 19 - day strike that has halted publication of nine newspapers in eight outstate Michigan cities. Printers at three other Booth papers approved the contract of- fer. The latest rejection vote was at the Flint Journal. Striking In- ternational Typographical Union members there voted 56-44 against the offer. Tell Votes Other rejection votes were 50-11 at the Saginaw News; 42-2 at the Bay City Times and a unanimous vote at the Jackson Citizen Pa- triot. Approving the offer were print- ers at the Ann Arbor News by a vote of 27-3; at the Muskegon Chronicle by a vote of 38-4 and at the Kalamazoo Gazette by a vote of 48-12. Printers at two other Booth Newspapers, the morning Grand Rapids Herald and the afternoon Grand Rapids Press, will vote as a 'unit today Both the company and the union withheld comment on the results of the voting, pending the outcome of today's balloting. Withhold Details Neither disclosed details of the new offer. But both said it covered an entire new contract. The old contract expired Oct. 1. At one time during negotiations, a Booth spokesman said the un- ion's demands were more than 15 cents an hour above the company's offer. Booth said at that time it of- fered the printers increases of nine cents and 10 cents hourly for a two-year contract which would raise the hourly rate to $3.38 In Flint and Grand Rapids and to $3.31 in the other cities during the term of the contract. The ITU had asked 13 cents an hour on a one-year contract and 15 cents on a two-year pact, with management also paying all costs of fringe benefits other than pen- sions. May Refuse According to Arthur Gallagher, news editor of the Ann Arbor News, the three union locals ap- proving the offer may still refuse to return to work tomorrow, rather than go against the votes of the four other groups. George McCallum, business man- ager of the Ann Arbor News, is at the negotiations in Lansing. Gallagher said he had not heard anything definite from him re- garding the possibilities of the papers, resuming publications. Federal and state mediators have been sitting in on negotia- tions for a settlement. The new offer was made Friday night. The strike of 800 printers stop- ped publication of the Booth news- papers in eight of Michigan's largest cities on Nov. 26. Carl Linder, a representative of the ITU said the Booth chain had not offered an acceptable contract during the four months of negotia- tions. At the beginning of the strike, picket lines formed in front of the Booth newspapers throughout the state. The Booth chain has a circulation of over 500,000. 'As Be Study Committee Report i ks PROF. SAMUEL ESTEP ...*expert in new field RED NOTE: Asks West To Submit T'Io _Terms PARIS (/)-Moscow greeted theI NATO powers assembling in Paris yesterday with a new note declar- ing world tensions can be relaxed only if the West bows to Soviet terms. The note, obviously intended to spread division and confusion in the councils of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was directed at the 15 treaty powers three days before their annual meeting. A digest of the note called for a solution of the Berlin crisis by making West Berlin an unarmed free city. It also repeated old! Soviet demands for the suspension of nuclear tests, and a nonaggres- sion pact between NATO and the Communist East European nations of the Warsaw Pact.

The nose cone in which the monkey, Gordo, rode splashed into the Atlantic about 1,500 miles from the launching point at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The previously proved method for recovering a cone before it sinks failed this time The Army announced six hours later it had given up the search for the monkey's little space ship. For about 13 minutes an auto- matic radio transmitter which was linked to microphones, thermo- meters and other equipment sent back data on how Gordo was do- ing -- "valuable scientific data," scientists called it. In general, the radioed data showed only mild changes in Gor- do's physical condition as the Jupiter roared away from Earth and arched out beyond the atmos- phere. His heart beat stepped up slight- ly as the pull of gravity multiplied in the first phase of flight, but re- mained generally normal there- af ter. For about 8 minutes, while the rocket was out beyond the atmos- phere and curving along an arc which counteracted gravity, Gordo went through an experience that will come to man in space - weightlessness. The 500 seconds this condition prevailed, said the Army, far exceeded any similar period for monkeys used in previ- ous tests. Humanitarians Blast Monkey Space Flight DETROIT (P) - Animal welfare groups in Michigan took an over- all questioning attitude yesterday toward the Army's firing of a monkey into space. Myrtle Babcock, president of the Anti-Cruelty Assn., denounced it as "a cruel, wicked idea." "I think it was a perfectly out- rageous thing to do," Miss Bab- cock said. "Men are afraid to go up so they send a defenseless monkey." "It was felt by humanitarians at the time that we were above such a thing," Clifton Johnson said. "I hope that the use of a monkey was only a last resort." tween Student UNDERGROUND AGENTS: Nationalists Report Mao To Be Replaced Closer Co-operation 0 E Cl J TAIPEI (A)-The Nationalists' mainland underground reported yesterday that Mao Tze-Tung is going to replaced as Chairman, or head, of Red China's government in Peiping next month.

An 11-page statement distrib- uted to envoys of NATO countries in Moscow said the record of the last 10 years made it clear the Atlantic pact had operated to cloak preparations of a new war.

The vote in the committee was 32 to 18 with 30 abs entions. Thej United States and Britain voted "no," while the Soviet Union and its entire. bloc voted "yes." The assembly was set to con= sider the resolution at a night meeting winding up a lackluster three months session. In addition to being unable to reach any decisive agreement at the 1958 session over the future of Algeria, UN diplomats failed to break the East-West deadlock on outer space. Representatives of the Asian- African countries pleaded in vain for enough support to assure As- sembly approval of the resolution, Some Western nations said they could not support the resolution because their governments had not extended recognition to the Al- gerian rebel regime set upin Cairo.

Representativ WOLVERINES SWEEP SERIES: Wolverine Hockey Team Smothers McGill, 8-2 By HAL APPLEBAUM Michigan spotted McGill a goal in the first minute of play and then roared back to take a methodical 8-2 victory over the visitors from Montreal in a hockey game last night at the Coliseum. The victory coming after Friday night's 10-1 rout enabled the Wolverines to sweep the two-game series. Gary Mattson scored twice for the second night in a row to lead the Michigan scoring parade. Defenseman Scores Fluke Goal With only 27 seconds of the first period lapsed, Terry Dingle, McGill defenseman, scored on a fluke goal to give the Iron MenI a lead which they held for slightly less than six minutes. Dingle's shot from near the blue line hit Michigan captain Bobbie Watt in the pads and caromed off him into the right corner of the net. Goalie Jim Coyle, standing directly behind Watt, was screened and saw the deflected puck only after it went past him. Pat Cushing tied the score at 6:13 on an almost identical shot.

LONDON-Britain has drawn up a new plan aimed at settling the crisis over Berlin and Germany at a summit conference. Its adoption as Allied policy would depend on United States, French and West German ap- proval. But the West Germans, who have had a preview of British thinking, thus far have shown no great enthusiasm for it. s , * WARSAW - The Communist Party chiefs of Poland and East Germany today joined in declaring the Western Allies must get out of Berlin.

Shifting departmental special- ists will be examined for its value in providing on the spot help. A further step toward a complete prpgram of information is a man- ual for counseling personnel which is being prepared by the Office of the Vice-President of Student Affairs. Plans call for the booklet to be ready for use at the beginning of tie spring semester. A second area of consideration mentioned improving communica- tion with the student body with particular concern in educating individuals to the counseling serv- ices the University has available, Try for Understanding Improvement of student abili- ty to act as "peers to advice" was mentioned but the report noted that only with improved under- standing in this area could this system become beneficial. A means of accomplishing this would be through the manual which is to be distributed to all students, which would make them aware of their responsibility in giving advice to others. Another method would be to allow a type of "in-service training program" using teacher counselors See COMMITTEE, page 5 T Consecrate New Cardinals VATICAN CITY (AP) - Princes and prelates assembled yesterday M1
