At its meeting tonight, the Council will appoint the Com- mittee on Membership Selection, the group charged with adminis- tration of the regulation, which was passed last spring. The Coun- cil will also start action on a motion which would enable it to gain access to all fraternity and sorority constitutions. Submit Copies K hrushchev Voted On Disarmament REASON UNKNOWN: U.S. Spy Satellite Fails To Or I -Daily-Henry Yee WARNS OF CBINA--Prof. Leland Stowe explained Red China's, growing threat to American trade in the Far East during a speech at Rackham Auditorium. U.S. Foe Tae ThreatenebChina By JUDITH OPPENHEIM "Through continual price-cutting and dumping quantities of goods on the markets, Red China is becoming a threat to American commerce-a threat which jeopardizes our foreign markets, our work- ers' employment, and our very standard of living," Prof. Leland Stowe of the journalism department said yesterday. In a talk at Rackham Aud. entitled "Red China's Global Pene- tration Drive: Its Methods and Dangers-Through 'People's Diplo- macy,' Foreign Trade and Aid," the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist warned that we may have to adapt some protective measures to compete with China and Russia in the next 10 years. The Red Chinese offensive is directed primarily at one billion people in the underdeveloped countries of Asia, Africa and Latin HEAR WISMER: YRs Pass Platform For. 1960 By MICHAEL HARRAH The Young Republicans last night heard, debated, and ap- -proved the platform for 1960 as submitted by Marshall Keltz, '61, chairman of the platform com- mittee. Don Wismer, organizational staff man from the Republican state central committee, addressed the group on the functions of the state central committee and the Republican part in the coming election. I Wismer, praised present GOP chairman Lawrence B. Lindemer, saying that "we have one of the finest political organizations this state has ever seen.". Keltz said that the committee had incorporated many of the stands of the Republican National Convention platform, but that they have also added some of their own, which are particularly relevant to local issues. Here are some of the maJor points, as they vary, or go further, than the national platform. Civil Rights - The platform recognized a problem of discrim- ination present on the campus and in the environs of the University. The platform went on record as recommending that people engag- ing in discriminatory practices be denied the privileges of advertising their services through the organs of the University. This stand in- cluded not only the Negro, but also the foreign student. Education - The platform op- posed federal aid to teachers sal- aries, but favored a federal grant- in-aid for school construction. It commended the National Defense Education Act and urged that it be extended to other fields. The platform opposed "univer- sities indiscriminatly preventing Communist speakers from address- ing students," but went on to say that controls should be exercised. Old Age Insurance - The plat- form favored the health insurance proviso recently passed by the post-convention session of Con- gress, and spoke out directly against any expansilon of social security in this field.,1 - America who, if converted to Red Chinese ideology, would represent the balance of world power. Want Profit Red China's policy in foreign trade Is to make a financial prof- it when it can and to forego the profit when necessary in order to gain political power. Since 1955 China's exports have shown marked growth and present a growing threat to American for- eign commerce, Prof. Stowe said. The trading methods of Red China have several special fea- tures, among them "irresistably low prices." Because they do not have to calculate cost price, the Chinese are able to produce bi- cycles for $20, treadle sewing ma- chines for $10, staplers which sell for one fifth the price of their exact American counterparts, and fountain pens which Middle East- ern dealers buy for $1.25 per - dozen. Textile Machinery In addition, the Reds are man- ufacturing textile machinery, mo- tors, batteries, toys, radio parts and even trucks. Last year they sold the United Arab Republic, which was hitherto the producer of the cheapest meat in the world, one million pounds of frozen beef and mutton at half the Egyptian price. Prof. Stowe explained that the Chinese have no standard prices. They constantly cut fees so that theirs are always the best and constantly study the world mar- ket. To inflict losses on their ideological opponents, the Commu- nists flood the market with goods at prices their competitors cannot hope to match. In addition, they often make barter deals such as a recent one with Cuba whereby Red China in the next five years buys 500 thousand tons of Cuban sugar. Eighty per cent of the su- gar will be paid for in Chinese goods, and the rest in dollars which Castro badly needs. Seem Honest The Communist Chinese are developing a reputation for hon- esty and punctuality in their deal- ings. They are "razor sharp busi- nessmen," Prof. Stowe said, "and their deals are calculated to bring democratic and capitalist nations to their level and is far outclass- ing anything done in the personal contact and exchange field by the Western democracies," Prof. Stowe said. Students File O U1 . Under the latter action, frater- nities and sororities would have to submit to the Vice-President for Student Affairs copies of their constitutions. "This confidential file may be examined by an appropriate and responsible representative of the Office of Student Affairs, the president of SGC and the mem- bership practices committee," the motion says. At present, the constitutions must be submitted to the offices of the deans of men and women. The membership committee may have to see them to carry out its mandate. SGC President John Feldkamp, '61, will surrender his gavel to present the motion. He will rec- omment that final action be taken at the Council's Nov. 1 meeting. Wants Access In his brief, prepared for to- night's meeting, Feldkamp argues that SGC should have access to the constitutions to carry out its authority, granted by the Univer- sity Regents, to recognize and withdraw recognition from stu- dent organizations. "Being the only University agency charged with broad Juris- diction over all student organiza- tions, the Council may adopt pro- cedures which will aid in carry- ing out these functions," the brief says. Feldkamp points out that the Committee on Student Affairs, which had previously been charg- ed with recognizing student or- ganizations, had the authority to obtain copies of the constitutions. At present, constitutions are in confidential files in the offices of the Dean of Men and Dean of Women. Organizations need not submit their entire constitutions, but only such parts as will be asked in a constitutional form the Council' will publish. This means the Coun- cil will not ask for parts of fra- ternity and sorority constitutions containing, for instance, secret rituals. Anticipates Opposition Feldkamp anticipated that any arguments against the motion woull be: That the move is poor- ly; that the Council should not sure on organizations too quick- ly; that hte Council should not have this authority to begin with; that rules of national fraternities forbid local chapters to give out copies of constitutions. The Council president rejects all three arguments. SGC will also appoint the mem- bership selection committee mem- bers. A nominating committee in- terviewed the candidates for the four student positions on the com- mittee last night, and will make recommendations In executive session tonight. POINT ARGUELLO, Calif. (A')- The United States failed yester- day in its first try at putting an electronic spy in the sky. The first rocket in the hush- hush series of Samos satellites- designed to keep a constant watch on potential enemies-fell short of achieving orbit. Samos I thundered off its pad on a grassy knoll at this new Navy space base at 12:34 p.m. and headed south in what appeared a perfect launch. Half an hour later came word that its second stage ignited. Two hours later came this word: Fails to Orbit The second stage failed to or- bit, for reasons unknown. Air Force spokesmen said it may be a day or more before it is learned what went wrong. Packed in Samos I's nose cap- sule were instruments of a type expected ultimately to outdo the U2 at scanning Russia's heart- land. And, because of bitter Russian protests over the U2 spy plane shot down in Soviet territory last May, Samos is loaded with politi- cal implications. The firsthSamos, like other early shots in what is expected to be a lengthy series, was experimental. Aboard were cameras, plus in- struments to measure cosmic ra- diation and meteorites. Decline Details The Air Force declined to give details, such as whether the cam- Berels on, Questions PhD Stu Nixon Seeks Long Debate SAN DIEGO, Calif. () - Vice- President Richard M. Nixon to- night proposed an expanded two- hour television debate with Sen. John P. Kennedy in place of the fifth debate Kennedy has propos- ed. Nixon suggested that the fourth debate already scheduled for Oct. 21 be turned over to the vice-pres- identialcandidates. The two-hour debate, Nixon proposed, would be scheduled some time in the week of Oct. 21-28. Thus, if Nixon's idea is accept- ed, the presidential candidates would have only four TV debates in all, although the last would be enlarged to two hours. The Nixon proposal was an- nounced by his press secretary, Herbert G. Klein. Klein said the Vice-President has not yet receiv- ed a formal wire from the net- works concerning Kennedy's orig- inal suggestion for a fifth debate. But Klein said Nixon will make the proposal as soon as he gets a formal notification. Klein also said Nixon wanted the two hour debate to cover for- eign policy, because "the focus of the campaign is directed toward foreign policy." Klein said he did not think a full answer on the Quemoy and Matsu issue could be given in the two and one half minutes allow- ed on the one hour debate so far. He suggested that the time for answering questions and rebuttal should be increased to five min- utes. Klein said "the Vice-President has noticed comments by com- mentators and columnists on loose ends" left in the two one-hour de- bates. Attacks on the doctor of philoso- phy as a narrow specialist with- out broad understanding may de- stroy the quality of American scholarship, Prof. Bernard Berel- son of Columbia University warn- ed. He labeled as failures recent at- tempts to introduce general edu- cation a n d interdepartmental study into graduate study. Prof. Berelson's warning came from his analysis of graduate ed- ucation in the United States. He said that such reforms lead to scattered and shallow, rather than cohesive and deep, scholarship. (Dean Ralph A. Sawyer of the graduate school said that the in- terdepartmental graduate courses offered at the University are not of the broad, experimental varie- ty of which Prof. Berelson warn- ed.) Prof. Berelson, who will be at the University for a conference on education in about two weeks, be- lieves that "poor writing and the associated bad organization of research and scholarly reports is so general across the fields, so in- dicative of unclear thinking and analysis, and so costly of the time and resources of others that some intensive efforts at improving the situation seems to be required." Many Complaints (Sawyer said that there have always been complaints of this nature. "I don't know that we get more than we used to. Our stu-; dents are carefully selected.") Prof. Berelson pointed out that only about 60 per cent of all doc- toral graduates enter academicI life compared with 80 per cent at the turn of the century. However, he dismissed as "ex-' aggerated" the fears of shortages.' Although the undergraduate en-I rollment will probably double by 1970, stresses that the "productionI of doctorates has doubled in every ten-year period since 1900."t Sawyer pointed out that there are already doctor shortages in1 California and that many smaller colleges and junior colleges are< forced to hire instructors withouts their doctorates.I (Sawyer said that the shortage of PhD's would be most felt in the scientific fields such as physics,I chemistry, mathematics and psy- chology. He said that the shortaget in the teaching field would not be as great in the humanities.) Urges Liberal Education Prof. Berelson urged undergrad- uate colleges to provide the kind of liberal education on which graduate schools can rely. He said that the graduate schools gener- ally do not want colleges to in- crease the amount of specialized training given to undergraduates. They ask instead for intensified general education at that level. (Sawyer said that h on the undergraduate years of ggneral edu two years of major co was adequate.)* Prof. Berelson said t toral candidates should actual teaching experi (University educati were not required but t departments most of t students work as teach Sawyer explained.) eras actually would try to radio back pictures of the earth's sur- face. Samos, as an effective operating system of surveillance satellites, is believed a year or more away. The goal is a satellite network capable of beaming back, on call, pictures of any point on earth-- pictures made either by conven- tional or TV cameras. The sys- tem is expected to map target areas and spot army buildups of troops or war supplies.

"It will be a matter for the whole committee to decide when it reviews the record," Dodd told newsmen. "The record will speak for itself.", Dodd said the subcommittee plans no further questioning of Prof. Pauling, a professor at the California Institute of Technology, "unless something else comes up."

The spectators displayed their biggest reaction when J. G.

DEVELOPMENT, UNDERSTANDING: Bretton Explains African. Needs By JUDY BLEIER "There's no fundamental difference between that naked savage beating on his drum and you who are sitting here," Prof. Henry L. Bretton of the political science department told a group of women students last night in the Michigan League. His speech entitled "Let's Look at the African Problem" was the second in a series of lectures and discussions sponsored by the Michi- gan League for Women's Week. "The problem which we have before us is one in which we have really only scratched the surface," Prof. Bretton began. Africa is called the Dark Continent because we have not known much about it until recently. Lack of Information One major difficulty in understanding the problem lies in sources of information. "Most of the literature on Africa is worthless except if you are interested in entertainment," he said. t d kt R- n sv . e. . ___ i _ .ro -- . . i. - 411 ..3 ,,,, - -. ,. . .3.,9 MU . is Patrice Lumumba. I am never convinced when the press goes to work on someone with their hatchets," he commented. In selling Africa to the American people there are two basic problems to overcome: 1. To deny the falsifications of literature and the press and 2. To overcome the shock which sets in when things go wrong, such as in the Congo. "This shock," he said, "affects Ameri- cans of both parties. Both include racial bigots and isolationists, and there will be more of these shocks." / Another obstacle which we encounter is the fact that "political, economic monstrosities" are now seated in the United Nations. "These African nations are all products of a series of diplomatic accidents," Prof. Bretton said. They are not nations, only a series of tribes or groupings, he explained. Create Blocks He said the Europeans, Americans and Russians are out to "create blocks" in Africa. They feel that for their own protection the more states there are, the better it is.
