MIKOYAN GETS COLD SHOULDER See Page 4 Y Sixty-Eight Years of Editorial Freedom 4hr :43 a t tj4 CLOUDY, COLDER SLXIX, No. 85 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1959 FIVE CENTS SIX PAGES Group Asks SGC To Cancel J-Hops Following This Season By PHILIP MUNCK Murray Feiwell, '60, said yester- day he plans to ask Student Gov- erment Council to discontinue J-Hops after this year. Feiwell, chairman of the cen- tral committee for the dance, cit- ed disappointing ticket sales as r the cause of the dance's prospec- tive financial failure. Sales have only been about half 1 of what the dance will need to break even, he said. So far about 300 of the 500 necessary tickets have been sold. Moved to League The dance was transferred from the Intramural Building to the League by the J-Hop central com- mittee yesterday, he said, because of the low sales. * "The dance may lose from $1,500 to $2,000, which must be paid by Student Government Council," Mort Wise, '59, SGC's executive chairman noted. "As far as the central commit- tee is concerned," Feiwell said, "the general apathy of students toward ticket sales is such that J-Hop will no longer be justified after this year.'" Date Changed He said the date of the dance had been changed from during the week to the weekend to make it more popular with students. If the dance is not successful even on a weekend, it will have to be dropped. The matter will be placed on SGC's agenda tonight, Wise said. The position of the Council last fall, he explained, was that if this J-Hop lost money again it would be dropped. "We are still paying for last year's J-Hop," he added. That dance lost over $1,000." If the ticket sales increase in the next few days, the fate of the dance will be reconsidered, Feiwell continued. MUSIC MAKERS-The parade of big-name bands, including that of Buddy Morrow in 1957, which has made its way to the J-Hop annually may cease if ticket sales don't pick up soon. The J-Hop, which dates back to 1877, lost money last year, and faces the same prospect. this year. SGC, which bears all deficits and is still paying for last year's, may be forced to discontinue the affair. REQUESTS REPORTED: Bureau NotesA Offers Of Increased Salaries By NAN MARKEL Higher salaries for graduates with doctoral degrees and job opportunities with lessened degree requirements are indicated in recent reports by the Bureau of Appointments and Occupational In- formation. Over three thousand requests for faculty members in 1957 and 1958 were compared. They came from colleges and universities in every DULLES Russian Proposals A ttacked WASHINGTON (A - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles yes- terday blasted Russia's proposals for Germany as brutal, stupid and probably unworkable. Coupling this harsh criticism with an implied promise of flex- ibility, Sec. Dulles added that this country is willing to meet with Russia, Britain and France to dis- cuss the German problem. The secretary thus set the stage, at a news conference, for round number two of Anastas I. Mikoy- an's Washington talks about the future of the divided nation. Mi- koyan, Deputy Russian Premier, is due back here late this week after a cross-country tour. To Exchange Views Sec. Dulles said: 1) His and President Dwight D. Eisenhower's conferences with Mikoyan on Friday and Saturday, respectively, will amount to an ex- change of views and not two-na- tion negotiations - something which United States allies oppose. 2) Russia's proposal to isolate and demilitarize dermany is not only brutal, as West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer con- tended Monday, but "it's a stupid approach because we don't think it will work." 3) The Western allies believe Germany should be reunited through free elections. But Sec. Dulles said - apparently for the first time in public-that a free election is not the only method possible. He declined to elaborate, except to add: "There are all kinds of methods." Previous Note Stands 4) The United States has no new proposals on Germany's fu- ture at present. It stands on the Allies' Dec. 31 note to the Kremlin proposing four-power talks on the whole German question. 5) "We are having constant talks with our Allies about the situation"-a hint that new pro- posals should not be finally ruled out. Council Asked To Consider Dance Change A motion to change the place of the 1959 J-Hop from the Intra- mural Building to the League will be considered by Student Govern- ment Council at its regular meet- ing at 7:30 today, according to Mort Wise, '59, executive vice- president. Due to financial difficulties, the Council will have to approve the change to make this year's dance possible, he said. Stan Noskin, '60, and John Herrnstein, '59Ed. student mem- bers of the Board in Control of Inter-Collegiate Athletics, will give their opinions on the pro- posed changes in composition of the Board. The Council will prob- ably vote on the motion, Wise said. A report on new rules and a change in date for the SGC elec- tions by the Election Committee, and a Summer Placement Bureau Report by the Student Activities Committee are also on the agenda. A financial report on the 1958 Homecoming is also slated for tonight's meeting.

The dance was held on the weekend before registration in former years. Two years ago the dance was switched to the middle of the week. "That's when ticket sales really began to drop off," Wise commented. The size of the dance rose from 20 couples at the first dance to 13,000 in 1954. Last year 630 tickets were sold, Feiwell said. The dance is scheduled for Feb. 7 in the League Ballroom with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Tickets are being sold in the Administra- tion Bldg., and will be sold dur- ing finals at 2503 Student Activi- ties Bldg. World News Roundup By The Associated Press BUENOS AIRES - The news- paper .Nacion, quoting informed sources in Paraguay, reported yes- terday that a military rebellion had broken out against Paraguay- an dictator Alfredo Stroessner. The Nacion correspondent in Resistencia, on the Argentine- Paraguayan border, said sources in Paraguay's capital, Asuncion, reported the rebellion in the Chaco of northwest Paraguay. HAVANA - Cuba's revolution- ary regime last night ordered sus- pension of all executions. A Presidential Palace spokes- man announced the suspension folowing a conference between the rebels' fighting leader, Fidel Cas- tro, and the man he installed as provisional President, Manuel Ur- rutia. No date was set immediately for resumption of the executions, which have taken the lives of more than 150 persons accused of crimes against the Cuban people during the regime of dictator Ful- gencio Batista, R . FRANKFURT, Germany - Al- banian Communist boss Enver Hoxa said last night the West was relying on Yugoslavia's independ- ent brand of Communism, which! he termed the "main danger to the Communist movement."

(M -- United States Civil Rights Com- mission agents yesterday won the right to examine disputed voter registration records which a de- fiant Alabama judge had with- held. Circuit Judge George Wallace, admittedly inviting a jail term for contempt, turned the voter files over to hurriedly called grand juries in Barbour and Bullock Counties. Although a federal judge had demanded he show the records to civil rights agents, Wallace gave the records to grand juries to in- vestigate complaints of irregu- larities in registering voters. However, the Barbour jurors of- fered to permit the agents to in- spect the records for evidence on alleged denial of Negro voting rights. Investigators accepted the of- fer and were checking the Bar- bour files at Clayton when the grand jury foreman in adjoining Bullock County telephoned a sim- ilar proposal. A. H. Rosenfeld, Commission Complaints Director, said he would notify the Bullock jurors later whether he and other inves- tigators would accept the plan. Both counties agreed to produce the records in the presence of the grand jury foreman. Rosenfeld declined comment on how the grand jury action might affect Wallace, or whether the commission was satisfied with getting the files from grand juries. In making their offer, the Bul- lock jurors said the agents' "re- spectful request for use of the rec- ords. rather than making an arro- gant demand, tends to show their new-found recognition of state authority.," U.

Frederick T. Merrill, Director of the East-West Contacts Staff lf the Stat T namm tn d s -state and overseas. The bureau notes that more and more colleges are mentioning salaries of five thousand dollars and over, and an increasing number are willing to settle for a master's degree. Salaries Change "About three or four years ago, the average starting salary for an instructor holding a doctoral de- gree was between four and five thousand dollars," the bureau's assistant director H. Kenneth Barker explained. "Now salary of- fers range somewhere between five and six thousand dollars, with the median closer to the higher figure." An overall raise in faculty sal- aries is anticipated at most schools, he said, according to let- ters received by the bureau. The reason: the number of qualified people available is not in propor- tion to mounting college enroll- ments. Barker added that "in certain areas where there are shortages, as in physics, chemistry and mathematics, schools are less de- manding of advanced degrees simply because of the necessity of getting instructors." t Minimums Lowered The reports on employment showed, for example, 26 per cent of the institutions seeking staff members in 1957 specified the master's degree as the minimum requirement. In 1958 thirty-four per cent re- quired a master's degree, and 20 per cent required a, master's de- gree plus additional experience. Only 24 per cent listed a doctoral degree as necessary. in the number of Americans out of work. The government said the job situation has improved from what it was in the depth of the reces- sion but not nearly as much as the rest of the economy. The na- tion has well over one million fewer jobs than in the pre-reces- sion era. Yesterday's joint monthly re- port of the Commerce and Labor Departments said employment de- clined by 680,000 from 64,653,000 in November to 63,973,000 in De- cember. Unemployment rose by 275,000 from 3,833,000 to 4,108,000 - the largest monthly increase since a 500,000 hike last June pushed the idle total to its recession high of nearly five and a half million. Ex- perts are predicting unemploy- ment may top five million again this winter. The report said heavy winter cutbacks in farming, construction and other outdoor work in the severe December weather out- weighed Christmas hiring in re- tail stores and the postal service. Without this holiday hiring, un- employment is likely to shoot up in January. Wages continued to climb. The Labor Department said somewhat longer working hours and pay in- creases brought weekly earnings of factory workers to a record $88.04 in December. The work week increase averaged 40.2 hours, indicating heavy overtime. In summing up the job situa- tion at the start of the new year, the government said there has been general improvement but employment in some sectors, es- pecially in manufacturing, mining and transportation industries, still is substantially below recession highs. he isn't concerned enough about the need for spending on national security. Won't Hurt Security However, Halleck said yesterday that while thenew budget calls for some belt tightening, none of it is in areas which would impair security. Also, as if in further reply to the Democrats, Halleck said he. was convinced there will be suf- ficient revenue in the new fiscal year to assure a balanced budget. Sen. Dirksen said Administra- tion officials were "certainly per-; suasive on that count." French Give Overall Mercy To Nationalists PARIS (P) - President Charles de Gaulle last night announced a sweeping amnesty for Nationalist rebels being held in Algerian pris- ons and some of their leaders de- tained in France. The President also commuted to life imprisonment the death sentences passed on all categories of prisoners under French juris- diction in cases where all legal' recourse has been exhausted. Information Minister Roger Frey also announced after a cab- inet meeting - the first since Charles de Gaulle took over as President and Michel Debre as Premier - that 7,000 persons who have been held in concentration camps in Algeria will be freed. These prisoners were held under what was known as administra- tive detention and had never been brought to trial for crimes. Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) said the new bills-one of which would give the Attorney Genera: broad neWv powers in civil rights enforcement - furnish "excelleni examples of what were the real stakes" in a session-opening bat- tle over changing Senate rules. Lead Former Attempt Sen. Javits was a leader of a bipartisan bloc of North and West- ern Senators which tried unsuc- cessfully to get a stiffer anti-fili- buster rule than the Senate ac- cepted Monday night. This bloc contended the new rule -spon- sored by Senate Democratic Lead- er Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas- isn't much more effective than the old one. One of the new measures would empower the Attorney General to seek in3unctions against any In- terference with civil rights, in- cluding what it defines as the right to attend a nonsegregated public school. A broad provision similar to this was struck out of the 1957 Civil Rights Act. That measure is limit- ed largely to protection of voting rights. Would Extend Commission Another new bill would extend the life of the Civil Rights Com- mission created by the 1957 Act. It is due to expire next Sept. 9. The legislation would continue it to January 1961. A third measure, already in- troduced, is aimed at curbing hate bombings of schools and churches. The rules battle ended with the adoption, 72-22, of Sen. Johnson's proposal to permit debate limita- tion action by two-thirds of the senators present and voting. This replaces a rule in effect for 10 years. It required the votes of 66 Senators, or two-thirds of all 98 Senators, to throttle a fili- buster. 1 .I s t 1 l', i Hidden Persuaders LANSING () - There's a sharp dropoff this year in the number of lobbyists registered prior to the opening of the 1959 legislature today. Only 151 have registered to date compared with 349 at the start of the 1958session. There were 380 legislative persuaders registered before the last ses- sion closed. A new law requiring the leg- islative agents to re-register annually is responsible for the dwindling count.

Pears (R-Buchanan) as their candidate for House Speaker. Pears, former Speaker Pro-Tem and potential successor to Rep. George M. Van Peursem (R-Zeeland) was expected to name Republicans chairmen of all House committees if he wins the election.' Rep. Michael J. O'Brien (D-De- troit), leader of the powerful Wayne County delegation, asserted that "Republicans will leave a bad taste for the rest of the session if they go through with this thing." Issues Warning "Republicans should remember that we'll have 55 votes- again when Mrs. Hunsinger recovers and that it will take 56 votes to pass a bill," O'Brien said. "Without harmony," he said, "we won't get anything done", Democrats, in caucus yesterday, stuck with their plan to leave House patronage jobs to the Re- publicans in return for the Speak- er's job and control of all House committees. Proposes Split Republican leaders, led by Van Peursem, have proposed to split control down the middle, sharing in committee and leadership as- signments. The Democratic caucus chose Rep. Louis Mezzano (D-Wake- field), holdover Minority Leader, to head a five-man committee to negotiate with Republica'ns. To- day the full caucus will meet again to talk over the situation. "This could be one of the best sessions we've had if we can agree on an organization plan and get moving," O'Brien said. Bretton Quits Advisory Post Prof. Henry L.

Thus he bucks the rose bloc, headed by Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine) and Rep. Fran- ces P. Bolton (R-Ohio), and the corn tassel bloc, maneuvered by Sen. Paul Douglas (D-111.). But Burpee is sure he is on fer- tile ground. The marigold, for those who are hazy on horticulture. is a native, American. The Aztec Indians were growing marigolds in their gardens before the white man came this way. Used on Altars of flower to grow. You sow the seed, and it's up through the ground in three or four days. It will grow in every part of the union. It's practically immune to any kind of garden disease and insect. Long-lLsing "And it's long lasting. As a cut flower, it will last almost twice as long as a rose. Yes, and a lot longer than a corn tassel." Lobbyist Burpee hastened to point out that personally he has nothing against the rose. "A nice beautiful flower," he said, "but it's not the flower of America. Besides, it already is the national flower of four other countries, Lest someone argue he's anti- This floral void, with Burpee's help, was filled by the marigold. Like his seeds, Burpee seems to have been grown selectively. Lu- ther Burbank was a cousin. Bur- pee's father deserted a medical career to go into the seed business, by the age of 35 had made his Philadelphia firm the largest of its kind in the world. Burpee, now 65, took over as head of the company at the age of 23, after his father's death. Fifty years ago the choice seeds were grown in Europe. Now Europe imports from America. And here are hybrids ablaze everywhere, including the mari- gold. Yet Burpee becomes impa- tient with those who speak of how
