BEFORE GENEVA:
Ike To Seek Out Russia's Intentions


WASHINGTON (W)-President,
Dwight D. Eisenhower Intends to
make a determined effort next'
month to find out whether Soviet'
Premier Nikita Khrushchev really
wants to come to terms on any
major East-West issue.
Officials said yesterday this is
Eisenhower's central purpose in
approaching the Big Four summit
conference with Khrushchev, Pres-'
ident Charles De Gaulle of France
and Prime Minister Harold Mac-
Millan of Great Britain. It will
guide Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter in a series of meetings
here next week with allied foreign
ministers on summit preparations.
Herter is expected to tell his
allies during the three days of
strategy talks that the western
powers must be ready for any
grandstand plays by Khrilshchev.
His aim would be to put the West

you would expect a U. S. Sen-

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy
might soon become the "first

on the defensive and seize the in-
itiative in the propaganda battle
that will be a big part of the con-
ference.
Khrushchev's possible spectacu-
lar moves, officials believe, may
include a new disarmament pro-
posal and some declaration about
scrapping the Soviet blod Warsaw
Pact, the Red counterpart of
NATO.
The stage was set for a Khrush-
chev move on disarmament when
Professors
Give Support
to Students
DETROIT ( -The American
Assn. of University Professors yes-
terday rallied to the support of
Southern students who have been
suspended or expelled from college
for "protesting in peaceful ways,
against racial discrimination."
Such action destroys the civil
liberties of the students, the group
said, and is an abuse of academic
authority.
A number of Negro students
have been expelled or suspended
after taking part in sit-in demon-
strations in off-campus segregated
lunchrooms.
In a resolution overwhelmingly
adopted today, the AAUP said in
effect that such demonstrations
are not necessarily disorderly, and
colleges and universities should
not be misled by public pressures
into punitive action against the
students.
"Since not every conviction
under law necessarily represents
an offense with which an educa-
tional institution must concern
itself," the resolution said, it is up
to educational authorities to reach
their own decisions.

East and West agreed today to
recess the 10-nation arms confer-
ence now under way at Geneva.
The recess will begin late this
month and run until June. This
decision to suspend the conference
effectively cancelled hope that
some progress might be made on
disarmament prior to the summit.
Eisenhower's main interest is
reported to lie not in the formal
Big Four meeting which will start
at Paris May 16 but in the small
private talks where personal dip-
lomacy may be employed to best
advantage.
The President himself told a
news conference 10 days ago he
looked forward to some small in-
formal sessions with Khrushchev,
MacMillan and De Gaulle.
Behind his interest in these
small and secret talks is a con-
siderable puzzlement in official
quarters here-apparently shared
by the President-over Khrush-
chev's actual intention. Some of-
ficials believe, for example, that
he would like to make a first-step
deal on disarmament. Herter is
among these, and Eisenhower
evidently thinks there is some
chance.
Opinion is divided about wheth-
er and when Khrushchev will force
a new crisis over Berlin. The
United States, Britain and France
have no intention of yielding to
his demand to get out. One of
the big questions is whether he
would forceful measures, perhaps
sometime in the late summer or
fall, to try to squeeze the West
out. Such measures would consti-
tute a new Berlin blockade.
The President is said to hope
he and other Western leaders can
get some new light on such ques-
tions and at the same time get
across to Khrushchev the deter-
mination of their own stand.

Plan Backed
DFrom U.S.
Five-Week Recess
Approved by Group
By The Associated Press
Secretary of State Christian A.
Herter denounced yesterday a re-
cess agreement made by his own
disarmament negotiator at Ge-
neva.
But he said that since the deed
was done he would let it stand.
The agreement provides for
about a five-week recess in the
10 - nation Geneva disarmament
conference until after the summit
meeting at Paris in late May.
Herter's statement came close
to being a rebuke for Ambassador
Fredrick M. Eaton, New York
lawyer and board member of
many banking and industrial firms
who is a newcomer to big time
Some State Department offic-
ials §aid privately that Herter did
not intend the statement to be a
rebuke or reprimand. Others
equally familiar with the circum-
stances said there could be no
doubt that a declaration by the
Secretary of State deploring the
agreement Eaton announced yes-
terday was a slap for the man in
Geneva.
Herter's statement came as the
climax of a series of comments
which indicate at the least some
kind of brbeakdown in communi-
cations between him and Eaton.
Eaton and the British, French,
Italian and Canadian delegations
were reported hopeful that the
conference could make some pro-
gress toward disarmament if the
summit meeting agrees at least
on how the subject should be dis-
cussed.

The steering committee for the
repertory theatre in Ann Arbor
recently sent a summary of all
that Ann Arbor could offer for thej
theatre should it come here, to
Tyrone Guthrie, Oliver Rea, and3
Peter Zeisler, who plan to estab-
lish such a theatrein acommunity
other than New York.
It was noted in the letter thata
since 1951 various avenues to a
professional company in Ann Ar-
bor have been investigated
In January, 1959, the first def-
inite step in this direction was to
employ Louis Simon, a member of1
the board of the American Na-
tional Theatre and Academy to
investigate the possibility of es-
tablishing "a truly great repertory
theatre" in this area.
Situation Encouraging
Simon found the theatre situa-
tion in Ann Arbor "highly en-1
couraging." He recommended that
such a theatre should operate4
under University sponsorship and
that the highest calibre of pro-
fessional leadership would be
"absolutely essential."
The following summer was spent
exploring possibilities of Imple-
menting Simon's report to make
an Ann Arbor repertory theatre
a reality.
Then in September of 1959 Ty-
rone Guthrie, Oliver Rea and Peter
Zeisler announced their plan to
form a repertory theatre in an
American community other than
New York, which could be a focus
of fine theatre.
Proposal Made
Guthrie and Rea arrived in Ann
Arbor last November for a two
day visit. They stated exactly what
they proposed and what the com-
munity must offer to attract a
venture of this type.
Since then a steering committee
for the theatre has been formed
in Ann Arbor to plan and prepare
the community for active sponsor-
ship of the project.
Conferences with University of-
ficials have resulted in the admin-
istration's enthusiasm for the
Guthrie-Rea-Zeisler proposal. The
Regents made an offer of land for
the theatre and academic support.
The Ann Arbor City Council
passed a resolution favoring the
theatre, and the City Planning
Commission said that it could
make an important contribution
to the over-all future structure of
the city. The Board of Commerce
gave enthusiastic support to the
preliminary work which has been
accomplished this year.
The letter went on to express
the numerous advantagesAnn Ar-
bor holds for a repertory theatre,
such as the large potential region-
al audience that it "already con-
ditioned to finding in Ann Arbor
a center for its culturalineeds."
Examples Given
The May Festival annual sells
out 4,900'seats to each of six con-
certs to guests from all over the
country including some 5,000 stu-
dents who attend each year. The
Lecture Series draws 30-35,000
annually. The Choral Union Con-
cert series attracts 37,000, and the
extra series (five concerts) sold
22,000 tickets this year.
The Drama Season, since the
1920's has played to an audience
of 25,000 each spring and the
speech department plays draw
30,000.
The Civic Symphony and Civic
Ballet sold out a 1,800 seat theatre
for two imported dance programs
last year, and the Ann Arbor Civic
Theatre has an audience of over
2,000 for many of its plays.
The steering committee set up
the mechanics for a local fund

raising drive which will be part
of a state wide operation. It is
ready to select a leader and has
set a tentative goal of $250,000
from the area.
Community enthusiasm has
been aroused through a series of
coffee hours at which the project
was explained and illustrated with
color slides. One result has been
numerous offers of financial sup-
port should Guthrie, Rea and
Zeisler chose Ann Arbor for the
theatre site,
The steering committee esti-
mates that at least 10,000 season
tickets could be sold in Ann Arbor
and the surrounding territory,
which might underwrite 50 per
cent of the operating expenses.
The decision for the theatre has
been postponed at least until
April 18-19, since other cities com-
peting for the theatre have not
yet clearly stated what they can
offer the theatre.

right in place with the aid of a tiny tab closing. Trim
