e. e eummings--The famous American lyric poet handled such
varied themes as social criticism, death, love, and regeneration as
he read from his own works in Hill Auditorium last night as part
of the Union-sponsored Creative Arts Festival.
Cummings Stresses
Belief in Individual
By GEORGE LEVIN
"One is not half two," the individualistic philosophy of e. e. cum-
mings, was emphasized last night as the American lyric poet read
from his works before a Creative Arts Festival audience.

cummings, described him as a man who "maintained individualism

U.S.
Plan(
Allies Seen
Recovering
After Blow
Predict Paris Talks
To Open on Schedule
LONDON () - European allies
of the United States bounced back
yesterday from the gloom that
gripped them after a United States
reconnaissance plane was shot
down over the Soviet Union.
They generally predicted the
summit talks would open in Paris
on schedule next Monday despite
the incident.
Some sources suggested that
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
would not push the matter too far.
They read this interpretation into
the Soviet leader's own report on
the case virtually absolving Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower from
responsibility.
Papers Comment
Several newspapers in Britain
and on the Continent claimed
there was something fishy about
the case.
How, they asked, did American
pilot Francis G. Powers live
through a parachute drop of more
than 12 miles? How were the Rus-
sians able to recover an undam-
aged camera and film from a plane
knocked down from a great height
by a rocket?
Some papers also pointed out
that when it comes to spying all
the great powers are involved and
the Russians have a great ad-
vantage because the nations of the
West are open societies.
Lord Speaks
Britain's Civil Lord of the Ad-
miralty, Charles Ian Orr-Ewing,
said at a luncheon:
"The U.S.S.R. must be thankful
for the many hundreds of Russian
staff it maintains in the free world
who are able to gather details of
the West's military installations
by merely getting their cards and
using binoculars and cameras."
To some observers the hopeful
Western line sounded a little like
whistling in the dark.
One source explainedbit this
way: "There may still be some
unpleasant repercussions. The fact
that the United States does some
aerial spying on the Soviet Union
is not surprising.
Unpleasant Position
"But to get caught at this kind
of thing and then to be put in a
position of having to admit to
espionage activities is compromis-
ing. It can't make Eisenhower's
task at the summit any easier."
Prime Minister Harold Macmil-
lan conferred with Foreign Secre-
tary Selwyn Lloyd for 20 minutes
on the implications of the plane
case.
Later the Commonwealth Prime
Ministers spent two hours in a
secret session at No. 10 Downing
Street, they sent their advisers out
of the room to discuss the plane
incident in confidence.

White Settlers Attacked
In Rhodesian Race Riots
SALISBURY, Southern Rhodesia (IP) -- Negro mob violence has
flamed against white settlers in Northern Rhodesia, a part of Britain's
Central African Federation.
Police held 127 Africans and sought others yesterday for a series of
fire and stoning attacks in the nothern Rhodesian copper belt over the
weekend. Several persons were injured.
The sudden outburst led to speculation that a scheduled visit by
Britain's Queen Mother Elizabeth to the Federation-a union of the

Attack Women
A white woman and her two,
daughters were among victims of
Negro bands on a rampage that"
recalled the nationalist - inspired
racial troubles which the Federa-
tion government crushed with
troops last spring. All three were
burned.
Cars were special targets of the
mobs.
Rock was found piled on a rail-
way track at Kitwe Friday. The:
pile apparently was intended to
derail a train.
At Bancroft, near the Belgian
Congo border, three shelters at a
beer hall were burned down Satur-
day night.
Disperse Mobs
At Luanshya police used para-
chute flares and tear gas to dis-
perse a Negro mob rioting at a
beer hall. The officers said they
retaliated after the Negroes stoned
them.
Police are Investigating an at-
tempt to burn the home of Fran-
cis Chembne, an African member
of the federal parliament.
Police reservists were called in to
help keep order and to prepare in-
dictments against the suspects.
Hold Strike
One of their problems was a sit-
down strike by about 40 African
women at the gates of a police
camp where the prisoners were
held. The women screamed at ve-
hicles passing through the gates.
The district commissioner's of-
fice in Ndola reported a rush of
white men for permits to buy guns
for protection.
The Central African Federation
is a northern neighbor of the Un-
ion of South Africa, a common-
wealth member with an even grav-
er race problem. The scene of the
violence is on the border of the
Belgian Congo, which also has
racial troubles.
Spring
A sudden snowfall last night
put an early end to Ann Arbor's
spring.
As the temperature fell to 34
degrees, the latest spring snow-
fall since 1950, when it snowed
on May 24, chilled the city.
Traces of snow were also re-
corded in the first week of May
in 1951 and 1954.
Happy spring!

Socialism Develops
"T h u s 1 y," Kripalani contin-
ued, "Indian socialism developed
from the concepts of non-violence,
Biblical charity, and truth."
In discussing the factors divid-

"The Catholics have never

Another problem is whether soc-

or a moral creed. The former

as an example.

PROF. BILLINGTON:


Religion Changed Russian Past

By MICHAEL HARRAH
"The year 1666-7 was the real turning point in Russian history,"
Prof. James H. Billington, of Harvard University, said yesterday,
speaking on "The Religious Crisis in the 17th Century; A turning
Point in Russian History."
He cited 1667 as the year the Church Council in Moscow deposed
the Russian church patriarch, Nikan, thereby stifling the attempted
religious counter-reformation that he had championed.
"In the early 17th century, Russia was involved in a three
cornered war with Sweden and Poland," Prof. Billington said, "but
before that they were an isolated entity, save occasional, and gen-
erally unsuccessful skirmishes with the Swedes."
He said that after Poland, a Catholic country, had invaded Rus-
sia, Sweden, which was a bulwark of Protestantism in Europe, came
to protect the czar from defeat. This alliance with the Swedes in-
troduced Swedish military tactics and Dutch technology into the
Russian society, turning the tide toward a renaissance.

has been committed to jail.
