LXIX, No. 84 TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1959 FIVE CENTS SIX PAG FeILIBUSTER' President Agrees; Senators' I To Meet Mikoyan Authorities Suspect Red Leader To Reveal Surprise Berlin Proposal WASHINGTON (/P)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower agreed to meet Saturday with Deputy SovietPremier Anastas I. Mikoyan, giving Russia an opportunity to make a new high level move in the East-West dispute over Berlin. The White House announced the appointment yesterday as top officials expressed some concern over the apparent propaganda success the Soviet leader has scored by his "peace and friendship" remarks' since arriving 10 days ago. May Bid for Talks These authorities appeared split over whether Mikoyan as a grand finale might drop a surprise German proposal on President Eisenhower's desk. Some diplomats believed the Kremlin trouble- KishiMoto Gives Talk On Religion By CHARLAINE ACKERMAN The geography of Japan has greatly influenced its religions, Prof. Hideo Kishimoto of Tokyo University told a gathering at the Rackham Building last night. The chairman of his university's department of religions studies, Prof. Kishimoto said, "'The blood and culture of the Middle East has continuously trickled east to Japan. Once assimilated into her homogeneous society, Japan's is- land position has prevented any serious disruptions due to mass migrations and extended foreign occupations," he explained. Religions Flourish "We should not assume that the roles and character of religion In shooter was saving such a kicker, perhaps as a bid for a face-to-face summit meeting between President Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. To sound out Mikoyan in ad- vance, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles set up ,a Friday morning - date with him at the State Department. This would con- tinue the far-ranging 95-minute talk the two men hedld last Mon- day emphasizing th9e future of Berlin and Germany. Sponsoring Dinner In a surprise move, Dulles also made known he would sponsor a "working discussion" dinner Fri- day night for Mikoyan who has insisted he came only or, a holiday as guest of Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov. A Mikoyan meeting with Secre- tary of Commerce Lewis L. Strauss was also reported being arranged along with a luncheon in his honor by Sen. Theodore Francis Green (D-R.I.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.n" Mikoyan's busy schedule when he returns to the capital, prob- ably Thursday night, set off a new flurry of speculation about the real purpose of his trip to the United States. Authorities who have carefully followed his remarks and smiling behavior in visits to Cleveland, De- troit, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, "said he apparently has made considerable impact in picturing the Soviet government as reasonable.

First, by a roll call of 67-28, the Senate defeated a proposal by Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill) and other Northern and Western senators. It would have permitted filibusters to be halted by majority vote, 50 of all 98 senators after 15 days. Then, on another roll call vote, the Senate rejected a proposal by Sen. Thruston Morton (R-Ky.) under which debates could have been brought to a halt by the votes of three-fifths of the senators present and voting. Forty-three Democrats and 24 Republicans voted against Douglas' proposal. Twenty Democrats and eight Republicans voted for it. Under present rules, it takes the votes of 66 senators, or two-thirds of the membership to shut off debate and force an issue to a vote. The defeated proposals were offered in a fight against a for- ( mula sponsored by Democratic leader Lyydon B. Johnson (D- Trex.).' The longer the debate ran on over the issue of curbing debate, the more apparent it became that the probable outcome would be a compromise. City Planner Salary Hiked By JOHN RICKEL The City Council approved the Planning Commission's request for an increase in the salary scale of the Planning Director last night. Mrs. Florence Crane, council- woman from the Second Ward, moved "to accept the Planning Commission report and increase the salary grade from the present minimum salary of $7,600 to $9,000 per year." The motion was unani- mously carried. Mrs. Crane said the Commission was interested in hiring Joseph Tamsky of New Britain, Conn., to fill the Planning Director vacancy. She continued, "Until now we have been unable to offer a suffi-. cient salary, however, in view of the Council's action, the question now is whether Tamsky is inter- ested in coming to Ann Arbor." The first reading of a zoning petition to enable Kappa Delta sorority, 1620 Cambridge, to pur- chase land behind the sorority, was passed with a 6-4 majority by the City Council. Councilman Carl A. Brauer, Jr., Fifth Ward, commented, "Let it pass the first reading; if there is protest later on, it can still be defeated on future reading." The public hearing for the pro- posal is at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 2 in the Council Chambers. The Council unanimously ap- proved the Planning Commission recommendation for approval of the present proposed site of the Eastbelt Expressway. The Mayor, Prof. Samuel J. Eldersveld of the political science1 department, said he will present the proposal at the public hearing1 Friday at the Frieze Building. Drive Gains ImpeA~tus at Wayne Cagers Win; Tidwell Sets New Records Special to the Daily MADISON-Led by sophomore John Tidwell's record-breaking scoring effort of 37 points, Mich- igan's fast-moving cagers swept to an 84-74 victory over Wiscon- sin last night to move into a first place tie with Indiana in the red- hot Big Ten basketball race. The cool and calm sophomore lofted in one-handed jump shots from all over the court to break Michigan's away scoring record of 34 points - formerly held by Ron Kramer. He also set a. new Wisconsin field house high, breaking the 34 point mark held by former Badg- ers Don Rehfeldt and Bob Litzow. Nets 15 Goals The 6'3" yearling from Herrin, Ill., hit 15 field goals from the floor and made seven out of nine shots from the foul line. The Wolverine sensation missed a chance to tie teammate M. C. Burton's all-time Michigan scoring high of 38 points set last month against Butler, when he missed a foul shot with less than 10 seconds remaining in the game. Michigan needed Tidwell's great second half effort of 25 points to hold down a determined Wiscon- sin team, which struck late in the second half to slice a Wolver- ine lead from 22 points to five with less than two minutes re- maining. Begins Substituting Midway in the second half, with his squad riding the crest of a 15 to 20 point lead, Coach Bill Per- go began to substitute freely, giv- ing his tired regulars a rest and letting several members of his "weak bench" gain some experi- ence. However, with Tidwell the only Regents, Adams Discuss Legal Aspect I As a Wayne merger appeared closer to reality yesterday, legal conjectures were brought into the picture by a state official and several Regents. But despite some concern over details, all seemed to favor the move. State Attorney General Paul Adams indicated he could "con- ceive of a plan that would be workable and would be proper un- der the present constitution," ;dams Sees Plan Such a setup would follow pres- ent constitutional provisions, he said. with President Harlan Rebels Stage Executions Hatcher presiding over the Board s of Regents which would be in control.

"After spend- ing 15 years near Wayne, I think very highly of the mission it has carried forward." Sees 'Difficulty' Regent Irene Murphy saw two problems which a merger might set aside.

Reactions Of Alumni Favorable SANTIAGO, Cuba (_P) - Fresh blood flowed yesterday in revolu- tionary vengeance against hench- men of the Batista.dictatorship. Rebel firing squads reportedly sent 75 bodies sprawling into one grave near Santiago in a seven- hour mass execution. Eyewitnesses said the con- demned men were shot in two groups, one of 14 persons and one of 61. The scene was the Campo De Tiro rifle range, dubbed "shoot- ing field" after a bulldozer scooped out the 40-yard-long grave. Decline Comment Santiago military headquarters declined official confirmation, but a huge mound of fresh, raw earth was found yesterday afternoon at the site along with cartridge cases and truck tire tracks. Rebel offi- cers said the executions went on for seven hours. This boosted to about 130 the number of known executions by rebel forces since they took over from President Fulgencio Batista's crumbling dictatorship on New' Year's Day. Eleven other executions were reported elsewhere in Oriente Pro- vince. Another 50 Batista support- ers - mostly police executives, secret agents and informers-had been put to death earlier by vic- torious supporters of Fidel Castro. More Face Trial Another 3,000 face trial, includ- ing Maj. Eulogio Cantillo, who commanded the armed forces for a short time after the Batista government collapsed. He has been charged by Castro with treason for allowing Batista to escape. The bitter feelings sweeping Cuba were reflected in a special edition of the weekly news maga- zine Bohemia published yesterday. It carried hundreds of pictures of what it called Batista atrocities and terrorism and charged 20,000 Cubans had been killed since Ba- tista seized power in 1952. Earl E. T. Smith, who resigned as United States ambassador to Cuba after the rebels charged him with being pro-Batista, was as- sailed by the' magazine as "the servant of the despot." Smith de- clined comment.

Many religions flourish side by side in Japan with some people embracing several simdl- taneously, while in Western cul- tures one religion usually domin- ates," he pointed out. Prof. Kishimoto explained that religion in Japan is either psycho- logically or socially oriented. Among the first group he placed Shinto, which stresses nature, deities and the closeness of men. "Shinto has flourished for over 2,000 years because of Japan's geo- graphical isolation," Prof. Kishi- moto said. "The fact that cen- turies of Japanese have felt the presence of the deities in the same forest groves has done much to strengthen the doctrine. "This culminated," he brought out, "in a state Shinto movement, symbolizing ultra-national feel- ings, which ended with the World. War II defeat." Buddhism "Inner" Oriented Buddhism is even more "inner" oriented, Prof. Kishimoto said. "Without a c o n c e p t of God, Buddhism advocates the remold- ing of the mind through intense mental concentration to eliminate man's anxiety," he explained. "Christianity's appeal has large- ly been to urban intellectuals," he said, "but all of Japanese society looks to it in the context of social principles. Christianity's failure religiously can be attributed to its lack of doctrines governing inner happiness." Hlaber Sees Labor Rise U.S. on Top In Missiles, Nixon Say s WASHINGTON (p)-Vice-Presi- dent Richard M. Nixon has told Senate associates there is no rea- son to fear any future "blackmail, gap" in the relative strength of United States and Russian mili- tary power. Nixon, who sits in on National Security Council sessions, made this statement in informal conver- sations after Sen. Stuart Syming- ton (D-Mo.) challenged the Vice- President to prove that this coun- try now is ahead of the Soviets in ballistic missiles. Sen. Symington says he doesn't know a single expert who would support Nixon's contention. considerations. When asked if the load would be too heavy for the Regents, he answered, "It will take a little more. but on the other hand, how could one spend his time better?" Favors Move A generally favorable reaction came from Regent Charles Ken- nedy. "I have no desire to push it," he said, "but as of now I am in favor of it. I would be helpful to both universities and to state- wide education-a good move for everybody concerned." Regent Donald Thurber was "in- terester to see the initiative for the move continuing to come from the various groups at Wayne Univer- a Federal Court order yesterday and refused to hand voter regis- tration . records to the United States Civil Rights Commission.

University Maintains Complete Silence On Proposed Change By THOMAS HAYDEN and NAN MAR2KEL - The drive to place Wayne State University under control of the University Board of Regents gained momentum on two fronts yesterday. "No negative response" to the plan emerged from an afterno6n. meeting of the State Council' of College Presidents, Wayne Presi- dent Clarence B. Hilberry told The Daily. Among those attending the ses- sion held at Wayne were Univer- sity President Harlan Hatcher and Vice-President William Stir- ton. The Council is headed by Hil- berry, chief architect of the plan. 'Worth Exploring' Hilberry said the Council felt the plan "was worthy of much ex- ploration." The group discussed the pro- posal for "about an hour" Hil- berry explained. "No action was taken and I didn't suggest any," he said. Hilberry also conferred with of- ficers of the Wayne Alumni Asso- ciation who expressed "strong and positive feeling" toward the plan, which would co-ordinate the schools under the Regents while leaving both independent. A trio of University officials, meanwhile, tried to maintain an official silence. "This is a matter which should properly originate with Wayne," President Hatcher declared, re- iterating the statement he issued last Tuesday. He admitted that, "it's quite possible that a merger could work to some advantage, with greater economy to the state." Stirton, a former vice-president at Wayne, said the University would be in an "untenable posi- tion" were it to issue a fuller state- ment. Detailed Statement Unwise Marvin L. Niehuss, vice-presi- dent and dean of faculties, agreed it would be unwise for the Univer- sity to release a more detailed statement, "Any talk of a merger assumes the Wayne Board of Gov- ernors likes the idea," he pointed out. The Wayne Board, which dis- cussed the proposal with Hilberry last Monday, is scheduled to meet Jan. 21. At that time, some sort of offi- cial recommendation is expected. Thus far, no strong negative re- actions have come from Univer- sity Regents, or from the faculties of either school. Union Seeks Readmission TorAFL-CIO NEW YORK M - The Inter- national Longshremen's Assn., kicked out of the AFL five years ago for harboring criminals, was reported yesterday to be seeking membership in the AFL-CIO. Top officers of the ILA, headed by Capt. William Bradley, signed the application for admission In the merged labor movement at a meeting last Friday, according to published reports. Louis Waldman, attorney for the union who was said to have drawn up the application papers, declared, however, he would neith- er confirm nor deny the reports. The move was said to be the ILA's first formal application to reaffiliate, although informal overtures had been rejected in the past. Government To Finance Space Travel Program WASHINGTON (IP)-The United States took a step yesterday toward sending the first American into space. It did so in selecting a firm to design and build a space capsule. This is the chamber scientists hope will carry a man into orbit around the earth and return him safely after a space flight of perhaps 24 hours. The purpose is to study how he reacts to weightlessness during orbital flight, to high acceleration during launching and to 'high deceleration during re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. I TRAYING, SKATING, HOCKEY: Fraternities Construct 'Ski-Run, Ice Rink It hasn't snowed in Ann Arbor since Jan. 4, the day most students returned to school after Christ- mas vacation.

Later flights will use much more power- ful rockets now under develop- ment. Nobody has been picked yet to make that first trip into space, but NASA already is giving thought to this matter. There have been a number of volunteers, but space agency officials said most of these are not being considered seriously.
