John F. Kennedy and Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, John K. Galbraith, Harvard econo- mist and advisor to Kennedy, dwelt largely on the "shortcomings" of the Eisenhower Administration, to which Nixon is "irrevocably tied." Galbraith spoke to a near-capacity crowd in the Ann Arbor High School Auditorium last night. Admirable Exponents He said that each of the candidates was "an admirable ex- ponent of the position he represents." He characterized Kennedy as Annual MSU Game Draws Large Crowd Home Team Favored in Contest At Sold-Out East Lansing Stadiui By MIKE GILLMAN Associate Sports Editor EAST LANSING--All roads lead to East Lansing and ti Spartan stadium today, as the traditional Michigan-Mich gan State rivalry is renewed for the 53rd time. What makes this one of the most unusual meetings of th two teams is that of all the people jamming the highway leading to the Spartan campus-none have any idea of wha will happen. Michigan-fresh from last Saturday's 21-0 win over Or gon-will take the field with a Comments on Political Campaigns Prof. John K. Galbraith of Harvard University and economics advisor to Sen. John F. Kennedy commented yesterday on the Democratic candidate and the campaign in general. "As far as Michigan is con- cerned," he said, "I think that as the people become better acquainted with Kennedy, they become increasingly ardent sup- porters. "I am glad to be a friend and supporter of the senator. I do a certain amount of speaking, and I am a fairly adequate writer. I must confess, however, that the role of economic advisor is largely attributed to me by the press." Galbraith said that he saw a sort of return to the braintrust of the New Deal. "There will be some scholarly advice," he said. "Every president seems to have 10 times the advice that he needs." He did add that there had "been some lack of brains in the Eisen- hower Administration." Refutes Summerfield Galbraith went on to refute Postmaster General Arthur Sum- merfield's recent claim that he (Galbraith) is opposed to automo- biles. "If he spent less time pouring over those dirty books and a little more time studying clean books, he would know what I said in my book." Galbraith then pointed out that he actually said that there must be a balance between the cars in relation to the roads and high- ways available to accommodate them. Economic Need Commenting on the industrial role of the South, Galbraith stressed that the nation needs a "balanced economy." "In America, all problems are relatively easy to deal with if our economy has a good rate of growth," he said. "They are hard to deal with if there is a poor rate of growth. This is the prob- lem now," he concluded, account- ing for the South's "lag in indus- try." In this regard, he said that Nixon's stand during the TV de- bate was "largely an effort to cover up a poor record. Nixon didn't look comfortable mildly agreeing with all those things he has formerly opposed. He'll look much better after the election, when he can go back to opposing them." Castro Blasts Candidates On Television HAVANA (M-No matter which candidate wins the United States presidential election, Prime Min- ister Fidel Castro made it a cer- tainty yesterday that he'll have no friend in the White House. Castro used a television panel show as his stump for assailing Vice-President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy. He called them "cowardly hypo- crites." TO -. - ' A .. m . rZ1.i4... ea "representing energy, activity, and initiative, and as a man who "is not committed to a liberal policy by promise, but by record." Nixon, he said, is part of an ad- ministration, which he considers "listless, lethargic, and inactive. It's been a comfortable adminis- tration. No one will deny that." Galbraith went on to discuss the "negative" economic policies of f the Eisenhower Administration. "There seems to be a limited logic here," he said. "When the economy needs stimulation, or when an election seems to be ap- proaching, we go through a process of restraint of inflation and stab- ilization of economy. Sometimes this goes too far and brings on a t recession." Keep Balance Galbraith said that the solution is to keep a balance between our public services and our private ex- penditures. He pointed out that a --Davidi uutrow GO, TEAM, GO-The Wolverines break from their huddle in preparation for the traditional rivalry with Michigan State today. Disclose Bid To Buy Off Oregon Star Oregon halfback Mickey Bruce was offered a bribe on the day before last Saturday's football game with Michigan, Detective Lt. Carl Robinson of the State Police rackets squad disclosed yesterday.- The attempt, involving David Budin, a 27 year old Brooklyn, N. Y., schoolteacher, and two un- identified gamblers, was unsuc- cessful because Bruce informed Coach Len Casanova of the in- cident. Budin Arrested Budin was arrested by racket squad detectives, but he was charged only with registering at a motel under a false name. The two gamblers, using the false names of Frank Grosscup and B. Petroni of Chicago, disappeared when apparently tipped that the police were on the case. The schoolteacher pleaded guilty to the charge before Justice of the Peace John Mokersky and paid a $100 fine and $10 costs. The bribery charge might have been pressed further if Oregon's Athletic Director Leo Harris had been willing that Bruce testify. He said he would refer the inci- dent to the NCAA for further investigation. Suspect Approach Police suspect that Bruce was approached by Budin and the two men at the Dearborn Inn, where the team was staying, and told he could earn $5,000 if he "let a pass receiver in behind him" and induced quarterback Dave Grosz to "call the wrong plays," police said. However, Bruce helped the Oregon attack with a third-quarter pass interception that provided the deepest penetration into Wol- verine territory. COMMUNISTS PRESSURED: West Germans Use 'Squeeze' BONN (M)-The West began- a reverse squeeze on the Communists in the Berlin dispute yesterday by ordering a halt in its trade with East Germany, which could bring sharp repercussions. The action threatened to wipe out 11 per cent of the total trade of the Soviet Union's East Ger- man satellite, but authorities here said the act was essentially poli- tical. More Expected More countermeasures to Com- munist pressure on Berlin were reported in the works, but West German officials said they would remain mum about what was planned in order to keep the So- viet Union and East Germany guessing. "They have been trying to chop away at our rights in what has come to be called the salami method," one high-ranking West- ern official said. "Now we are go- ing to do some salami slicing." Felix Von Eckhardt, press spokesman for Chancellor Kon- rad Adenauer, announced the ac- tion and called it a reprisal against Communist restrictions on travel in Berlin and the East's renunciation of the four-power occupation status of Berlin. Cancel Agreement It involved notification to East Germany that the Adenauer gov- ernment was exercising its option to cancel the trade agreement with East Germany effective Jan. 1, 1961. The move was potentially explo- sive. When rumors of a possible Bonn trade embargo began cir- culating a few weeks ago, East German officials replied with a veiled threat to slap a blockade on Berlin. "We have the longer lever," Heinrich Rau, East German Dep- uty Premier, said. Berlin lies 110 miles inside Communist territory of conferences that preceded yes- and West Berlin is dependent on terday's action, said he expected transport for its life. a series of Communist reprisals Willy Brandt, the mayor of West against the embargo but no block- Berlin who took part in the round ade. Chaos Spreading in Laos; Army Head, Premier Feud VIETIAINE, Laos (A-A quarrel that could split the Laotian government wide open erupted yesterday between neutralist Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma and Capt. Kong Le, the August coup leader who put him in power. The splintering made the situation begin to resemble the chaos in the Congo. Kong Le refused to recognize cease-fire orders issued yesterday and said his troops will pursue their campaign against the rightist forces of rebel Gen. Phoumi Nosavan despite peace talks under way at Luang Prabang, the royal capital. The captain displayed no such militancy toward the Communist led Pathet Lao, a rival group in Laos' three-cornered civil war, but team that is possibly much strong- er than early observers had an- ticipated. State Weaker Michigan State-not so fresh from last Saturday's dreary 7-7 draw with Pittsburgh-will take the field with a team, that is possibly not as strong as early observers had anticipated. - Perhaps the best explanation for the situation is that Michigan State was ranked high in the nation before the season began, while the Wolverines were unmen- tioned. In fact the Spartanslnov- ed up three places from ninth to sixth in the nation in the first weekly poll on the strength of a good scrimmage!2 And so, while reams of copy will be written when today's con- test is history, little can be said to compare the two teams before kickoff time. Bare statistics don't help much. Michigan was seventh in the Big Ten last year - Michigan State was second. Michigan has a rela- tively new backfield and experi- ence in the line this year-Michi- gan State has experience in the backfield (including backs that scored 22 of the 34 humiliating points poured onto Michigan in 1959) and its choice between ex- perience and size on the line. If MSU plays veterans in the line, they give away a big possible weight advantage. If their big boys start-they will be unseason- ed sophs. All Out Effort Reports from the well-guarded MSU practice field this week in- dicate that coach Duffy Dough- erty will be pulling out all stops for the big game of the year. The 76,000-plus football fans, alumni, student and others, who will jam the MSU stadium can expect to see a few new rabbits pulled out of Dougherty's multi- ple-offense hat. But Michigan's Bump Elliott hasn't spent the past week rest- ing, either. Coach Elliott has driven his charges through the roughest week of drills since fall practice started. After a short workout and mo- vies Monday, the Wolverines have been through a grueling week of scrimmaging. And on the encour- aging side of the ledger, the team is at the best physical level of the young campaign. See '3', Page 6 PROF. JOHN K. GALBRAITH ... analyzes candidates four and one-half per cent growth rate would yield a gross national product of $995 billion by 1970. This is the growth that Kennedy proposes, he said. On the other hand, the present rate of about two and one-half per cent, will only yield $715 bil- lion, about $280 billion difference, which "is not insignificant," he said. Galbraith said that the choice in 1960 was not between liberals and conservatives. "It is between the contented and the concerned. The man who resists change is in- variably the victim of his own in- action. The principles and the people to which Nixon is commit- ted are not energetic or active." Doubts Claim Galbraith said he doubted the Republican claim of Nixon's ex- perience in foreign affairs. "In fact I cannot see where they made any headway. A party that is lacking in concern and compassion at home will feel the same way abroad." There have been no great ad- vances in foreign policy, just a superficial show of busy-ness, Galbraith said. He made reference to the Dulles military pacts, and the "new-found thing called trav- el" which took "a smiling Eisen- hower" to trouble spots in the world to alleviate fears in "carou- sel diplomacy." Group Fails In Rally Try A group of University students attempting to instill spirit into declared: "We will keep fighting until the Phounmi men surrender. Souvanna is too soft . . . Souvanna is the head of the government and should be respected, but if he does not lead the people in the right direction they should throw him out." The premier prince, whose half- brother Prince Souvanna Vong leads the gathet Lao, belittled Kong Le's challenge. American military aid to Laos has been suspended because of the "confused situation" in the Bud- dhist kingdom, United States Gen. Williston B. Palmer announced yesterday. Palmer, who is director of the United States military assistance program in the region, said the action was taken "because . . . we are not sure who is responsible for anything." GE Strike Set Tonight NEW YORK (A/P-A nationwide strike against the General Elec- tric Co. was called by the Inter- national Union of Electrical Workers yesterday to start today at midnight. A panel of federal mediators nevertheless kept trying to head off the walkout. They scheduled yet another meeting between un- ion and management representa- tives for today. The 80-man conference board of the union voted the strike at a 4 %a hour meeting. CCNY: President Disagrees With Editor By KENNETH MeELDOWNEY Associate City Editor Last night, after a week of charges and counter-charges by the president and a student news- paper editor at City College ol New York, all seemed quiet. President Buell G. Gallagher claimed last week that the editor- ial board of the 'Observation Post,' one of the six CCNY student news- papers was infiltrated by Com- munist sympathing. In reply, the Thursday 'Obeer- vation Post' called for an immedi- ate meeting of the general facul- ty to discuss what the paper call- ed "slanderous accusations" by Gallagher. No Special Meeting Gallagher, last night, said that he would not dignify the charges against him by calling a special meeting before the regularly scheduled one in November. He added he had no intention of re- tracting his statement that the paper was following a "Marxist line." The president said there had been no response yet from the faculty, and in fact, claimed that the charges by the paper had hardly caused a raising of the eye- brows, because the line of this paper was so well-known. Peter Steinberg, managing editor of the 'Observation Post,' said that they had not expected any response from the faculty as the story had been aimed at a general meeting and not at individual members. Lone Supporter Of the other papers only one, the 'Campus' has come out ac- tively for the 'Observation Post.' The other four have supported neither the president or the 'Ob- servation Post.' Gallagher said -his charges were primarily based on two events: The last editorial of the spring semester and the "slant- ed" news coverage his first fall press conference received from the paper. The editorial last spring called for a renewal of the class struggle between the students and the ad- ministration. Steinberger said that the editorial was prompted by the fact that both Gallagher and a former president of the CCNY student government had com- mented there was no longer class conflict at the college. Gallagher added that, inview of the pro- test against the civil defense drills and discrimination, there was still conflict. Urges Activity At his press conference, Galla- gher said he called for students to be active in political and so- cial affairs. He added that he had supported the sit-in demon- strations in New York City, but only after the elleged domination by the Communists had been elim- ilnated. However, Gallagher claim- ed that the civil defense protests happened so quickly that there was no chance for mature leader- ship to be formed, and as a re- sult, many Communists took over leadership. Gallagher says that the cover- age by the six papers varied great-' ly. He charges that the 'Observa-' tion Post' did not report his state- AT LOCAL PEP RALLY: MSU Fraternity Reclaims 'Missing' Trophy By TOM WITECKI Daily Sports Editor Return of a "missing" trophy highlighted an impromptu pep rally yesterday afternoon in advance of today's traditional battle between Michigan and Michigan State at East Lansing. The trophy in question was a mammoth (formerly green and white) bell that was mysteriously removed from the Michigan State campus last spring. Culprits were the pledge class from the Michigan State chapter of Delta Upsilon fraternity, who last April removed the bell from its moorings on the Delta Upsilon lawn, loaded it onto a trailer, drove to Ann Arbor, and dumped it on the lawn of the local chapter house. The prank, however, took a surprising twist the next morning when neither the Michigan State or Michigan chapters could locate the Spartan trophy, There was campus-wide concern at East Lansing for the bell was not only a fraternity trophy, but it had become a Spartan tradition. For six consecutive years, the Michigan State chapter had faithfully lugged the bell to every home football game. And every time the Spartans registered a touchdown, fans all over the stadium could here the gongs reverberating through the autumn air. Yesterday, the bell reappeared on the Michigan campus wearing -~ M ~aA RI-M.
