'The dramatic announcement, obviously timed for the eve of the summit conference opening in Paris tomorrow, said: "The launching, was undertaken to perfect and check the satel- lite ship's system, ensuring its safe flight and controls, it's return to the earth and the necessary conditions for the space crew." Dummy In Cabin The dummy was reported riding in a pressurized cabin which contains "all the necessary equipment for a future manned flight and, moreover, various instrumenta- Committee Delays Wage le islation WASHINGTON (A-Senate Re- publican leader Everett M. Dirk- sen of Illinois said yesterday there will be a further delay in legisla- tion designed to increase the min- imum wage from $1 to $1.25 an hour. The measure was sponsored by men. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass), a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, and is opposed by the administration. Dirksen commented to a re- ,,porter that the bill has been held up in the Senate Labor Committee for two months while Kennedy was away campaigning. "We have notified Sen. Gold- water," he said, "that we are go- ing to start on May 24 whether he is there or not." The aide said Kennedy would like to get the blil approved by the committee that week, before the Memorial Day weekend. After that there will only be six weeks of Congress remaining before the Democratic national convention opens in Los Angeles July 11. As approved by a subcommittee last summer,- the bill would raise the wage minimum for the 24 million workers now covered by the law to $1.25 an hour. It also would bring about 10,- Y 730,000 additional employes under the act and give all but 3,600,000 of these the $1.25 floor. The re- mainder would have a $1 mini- mum. The administration opposes both the $1.25 figure and the extended coverage of the Kennedy -bill. It has suggested a minimum of not more than $1.15 and coverage for about three million additional workers. A Kennedy aide said only a one- day delay had been agreed to in the committee meetings. Soviets Claim U.S. Intrusion In Swiss Case MOSCOW -)-The Soviet Union charged yesterday that the deten- tion of three of its embassy em- ployes by Switzerland was a provo- cation fanned by the, United States to divert attenti n from the' "bandit intrusions" of spy planes. The charge was published here after a note of protest was de- livered Friday to Swiss Ambassa- dor Alfred Zehnder. (The Swiss government rejected the accusation as "completely un- founded." Borislaw Modin and Yves Frolov, diplomats attached to the Soviet Embassy in Bern, were expelled Thursday for spying activities.) The Soviet note said the deten- tion of Modin and Frolov and a Soviet chauffeur, N. S. Larinov was "stupid, clumsy" and the Scharges lacked proof. It also ac- cused Swiss police of "brutal be- havior" toward the accused. "After the aggressive actions of American aviation against the Soviet Union were revealed before the entire world," the note said, "Washington began seeking fran- tically for measures to divert, by one way or another, the attention of world public opinion from the Anndaifl1nn nasition in which th tion." The "space slip" weighed more than foul tons. It was put into a pre - calculated orbit 200 miles above the earth. Tass said the space ship would be controlled from the earth but to attempt will be made to bring the "dummy spaceman" back to earth. "When the necessary informa- tion is received from the satellite, a pressurized cabinet weighing some 2.5 tons will be separated from it," the announcement said. Cabin Not Retrieved "In this case it is notplanned to retrieve the pressurized cabin." After checked for reliability the space ship and cabin will "begin descending on command from the earth, and burn up in the denser layers of the atmosphere," Tass said. The Russians' last major space feat was Oct. 4, 1959, when they launched a cosmic rocket carry- ing into space an "automatic in- terplanetary station" with scien- tific and radio equipment. , The station was powered by so- lar batteries and chemical sources of electricity. The October shot was made on the second anniversary of the launching of Sputnik I which stunned the world in 1957. Announced By Tass The Tass announcement said: "The Soviet Union orbited a space ship around the earth. "According to the available in- formation, the satellite ship was put into a precalculated orbit, which is close to circular and some 320 kilometers above the surface of the earth, where it separated from the carrier rock- et's last stage. "The satellite ship's initial per- iod of revolution around the earth is 91 minutes. "Its inclination to the equator- ial plane is 65 degrees. "The satellite ship weighs four tons 540 kilograms without the last stage of the carrier rocket. Cabin Pressurized "The ship has a pressurized cabin on board, which contains a dummy spaceman, all the neces- sary equipment for a future man- ned flight and, moreover, various instrumentation weighing 1477 kilograms." Tass added: "When the necessary informa- tion is received from the satellite ship, a pressurized cabin weighing some 2.5 tons will be separated from it. In this case it is not plan- ned to retrieve the pressurized cabin, which, after due checking of its reliability, operation and separation from the carrier rock- et, will, as the spaceship itself, be- gin descending on command from the earth and burn up in the denser layers of the atmosphere." To Block Maneuver By Soviet PARIS M-The Western powers agreed yesterday to counter any Soviet moves for separate German peace treaties with a proposal for a plebiscite in both parts of Ger- many to back up their demand that the divided people determine their own fate. This decision was confirmed at a meeting of the foreign ministers of the United States, Britain, France and West Germany. Western informants said the plebiscite proposal would be set forth at the Big Four summit con- ference, opening Monday. Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev has said again and again that if the West does not agree to his call for peace treaties with the two Germanys he will sign a peace pact with Communist East Ger- many and force the Western pow- ers out of West Berlin. The foreign ministers' strategy meeting was devoted exclusively to the twin problem of German reunification and the Soviet threat to Berlin. Other summit topics will be taken up tomorrow. The West Germans will not participate in that session. Khrushchev gave no hint as to his summit tactics on Germany when he arrived in Paris, but he already has listed Berlin as the No. 2 item on his summit agenda. The West was reported ready to come up with a package plan that would provide for a stage-by-stage reunification of Germany. No one expects Khrushchev to buy it. A West German spokesman said the United States, Britain and France were completely agreed on their tactics on the German and Berlin questions. "Any slight misunderstandings that may have arisen recently have all been cleared up," he said. ' West Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his foreign minister, Heinrich von Bretano, conferred with their allies today and Adenauer was to meet with the Western government chiefs tomorrow. The two West German officials were to go back to Bonn tomor- row night. Ask Seating Of IUN Head CHICAGO (A) - Four Nobel Peace Prize winners yesterday urged that Dag Hammarskjold, secretary-general of the United Nations, be seated at the summit conference in Paris next week. Lester B. Pearson, former prime minister of Canada, said telegrams urging United Nations represen- tation at the conference table were sent to leaders of the four major powers participating in the summit sessions which open Mon- day. The telegrams to Pr e s i d e n t Dwight D. Eisenhower, Prime Minister Nikita Khrushchev, Pres- ident Charles de Gaulle and Prime Minister Harold MacMillan said the United Nation official's pres- ence would serve as "a living re- minder of the purposes and prin- ciples and the existence of the United Nations, and of the vital interest of all mankind in the summit discussions." Khrushchev Arrives 'SetsT . esProfessors Give Views On Summit Consider Recent Soviet 'Toughness, Berlin Unification By MAME JACKSON A good many speculations could be made about Khrushchev's re- cent "tough" attitude toward the Western powers Prof. J. David Singer of the political science de- partment said last night. "Perhaps Khrushchev is acting this way because of domestic pressure, or perhaps he is trying to increase Soviet bargaining power. Or it could be that Khru- shchev feels that the Western powers have been belligerent. On the whole, we just can't be sure." Not Much Expected Prof. Inis L. Claude, also of the political science department, commented that the reason for Khrushchev's unyielding attitude is that he probably isn't expecting too much to come from the sum- mit conference. "Both sides are jockeying back and forth so that they can put the blame on the other side when there is no significant outcome from the conference," Prof. Claude said. "Khrushchev is just taking advantage of an opportunity." Commenting on the Soviet Pre- mier's pre - summit actions in Paris, Prof. Singer said that a "plausible explanation" for his in- viting MacMillan and de Gaulle to private conferences before the summit could be to agitate weak- nesses within the Western alli- ances. "The Soviets are always trying to divide Western powers." Move Not Deliberate Disagreeing with this specula- tion, Prof. Claude said that "though the Soviets would like to divide the Western powers," he didn't feel that anything "that deliberate" should be read into Khrushchev's actions. "We often try to interpret So- viet actions in sophisticated terms when actually the actions are not made with such a sophisticated in- tent," Prof. Claude added. "We strain too much, sometimes, to read things into Soviet moves." Both Prof. Singer and Prof. Claude are pessimistic about the outcome of the summit confer- ence-especially on the detail of German reunification. "Khrushchev doesn't want any reunification. Nobody does," Prof. Singer said. "German reunifica- tion is something that everyone wants to talk about, but I don't think anybody really wants it." Somewhat opposing Prof. Sing- er's opinion with his belief that "though some may favor reunifi- cation, neither side wants it on terms that would be acceptable to the other side," Prof. Claude said that "neither side has any reas- onable expectation of agreement on this point." alks with British, Frenc _ U WIN FIRST, 6-3: 'M' Splits Twin Bill with Ohio State. -David Giltrow MAN IN A HURRY-Michigan's catcher, Dick Syr ing, is safe at first base in the fifth inning of the first game yesterday as the Ohio State shortstop overthrew fiirst baseman Dave Mason. Syring scored Michigan's first run minutes later as he rode in on Gene Struczewski's homer. The Wolverines won this game, 6-3, and dropped the second, 4-2. in Paris; 13y BRIAN MacCLOWERY Ohio State relief pitcher Paul Seitz stifled a sixth inning Michi- gan rally and then went on to strike out the side in the seventh to preserve a 4-2 Buckeye victory in the second game of a double- header yesterday after a Wolver- ine home run barrage had won the first game 6-3. The split kept Michigan one game above the .500 mark in con- ference play with a 6-5 record. Home runs were a dime a dozen CrealfCalls Special Day Mayor Cecil O. Creal has de- clared May 17, the sixth anniver- sary of the 1954 Supreme Court decision on school desegregation, "Freedom Day" in Ann Arbor. A "Freedom Parade" will start off the day's activities. Marchers, who are asked to assemble at 2 p.m.. on the Diag, will march down- town and back to the Diag. At the Diag the marchers will be addressed by the Rev. C. T. Vivian, who is active in the sit-in movements in Nashville, Tenn. All students are urged to par- ticipate. Men are asked to wear suits and ties and women to wear school clothes. at Ferry Field as the two -teams belted five of them in the twin bill. Michigan's Dave Brown led the splurge with two homers, one in each game. It upped his team lead- ing total to nine. Gene Struczewski, who socked three last weekend against Mich- igan State, kept his blistering pace with a three run blast in the first game. It gave Struczekski four home runs in his last four games. First baseman Bill Roman also homered in the first game for Michigan. OSU's Ray Apple hit one in the second game for the Buckeyes' only round tripper of the day. Seitz entered the .second game in the sixth inning with Ohio State leading 4-2 and Wil Frank- lin perched on second after a double. Ed Hood and Gene Struczewski had opened the inning calmly enough by grounding out off starter Jim Walton. But Walton walked Bill Roman, and Dave Brown followed with his second home run of the day, a towering blast over the left field fence. Franklin then sent Walton to the showers with his double to right center. Coach Don Lund sent Barry Marshall up to hit for Bob Kucher but the hard throwing right hand- er retired Marshall on a bouncer to third.' In the seventh Seitz struck out See THREE, page 7 Whest Detects Plan To Split U.S., Allies Russian Sees Effort To Defy Peace Plans At Summit Meeting P A R I S ( - Premier Nikita Khrushchev arrived yesterday for a showdown summit meeting on world tensions and tartly - but cautiously - accused unnamed in-s.. fluential circles of trying to pre- serve a cold war atmosphere. Western officials at once de- tected signs of an attempt by the Soviet premier to drive a wedge between the United States and its Western allies. Tone Cautious Khrushchev's tone was cautious in an airport address. One highly placed westerner said it seemed Khrushchev, while anxious not to wreck the summit meeting in ad- vance. by playing too heavily on the U2 plane incident, still was under severe pressure from his own politicians at home to con- tinue talking tough. At the same time westerners re- garded as highly significant Khru- shchev's prompt move to arrange a meeting with British Prime Min- ister Harold MacMillan, who ar- rives this morning, two hours after President Dwight D. Eisenhower. A Khrushchev meeting with Presi-' dent Charles de Gaulle of France already had been arranged earlier. Meetings Arranged Both these meetings were ar- ranged upon Khrushchev's initia tive, and observers found in this an indication that Khrushchev was attempting to divide the Western allies. There was no Khrushchev request for a meeting with Eisenhower, and there was no indication that any such re- quest was going to be made. Eisenhower, MacMillan and de Gaulle are scheduled to meet with. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany this afternoon for a Western summit huddle. By that time de Gaulle will have had his meeting with Khrushchev and will be able to fill in his colleagues on what took place. Makes Speech in his airport speech, Khrush- chev appeared to choose his words with caution. It was a moment when an ill-chosen phrase might wreck in advance the meeting' Khrushchev anxiously sought for more than two years. A British delegation spokesman said he found the airport speech "not unhelpful." But a highly placed western source said he lacked any high hopes for mean. ingful agreement at the summit. "Nobody can deny that in cer- tain countries, especially in recent times; influential circles, trying to get back to the cold war and pre- vent improvement of the interna- tional atmosphere, have noticeably increased their activities," Khru- shchev saidd. "Let us hope that their efforts will not be successful and that the discussion of questions such as general and complete disarma- ment,the liquidation of the re- nants of the second World War and the conclusion of a German peace treaty, ,as well as (improe' ment of) East-West relations will be profitable to the cause of uni- versal peace." Makes Promise This barb was Khrushchev's only reference to the latest flareup in Soviet-American relations Othe- wise, he concentrated on what he said were his h~opes for -the con- perence and world peace, and promised that the Soviet Union will work for the success of the summit meeting.

U.S. Protests Shooting Of Submarine by Cuba WASHINGTON (41)-The United States protested to Cuba yester- day against what it termed an unprovoked attack on a United States submarine while on the high seas. The government demanded an explanation of the incident, while at the same time vigorously disputing accucations by Cuban Premier Fidel Castro that the United States has aggressive designs against' Cuba. The United States view was conveyed to Cuba by Lester D. Mal- lory, deputy assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs. He called in the highest ranking Cuban diplomat in Washington and " delivered the dressing-down in I - --------- APPEARS IN DRAMA SEASON: Ann B avis, ', Returns to Michigan By CAROLINE DOW A husky voice arrested the hand that was about to open the window. :> "No, don't overdo it, you might spoil it and it started out so nicely," Ann B. Davis, alias Schultzy said. She spoke of the glimmer of sunlight that came through the' partially opened window, the first she had seen since arriving for Drama Season rehearsals last week. Rehearsals and visiting old friends have kept Miss Davis from even seeing the campus which she and her twin sister left in 1948. "There wasn't any TV here when I was and I imagine the radio has grown," she said of the speech department courses. Worked In Playbill "I did quite a bit with the Playbill, even played a Supreme Court t Justice once; we were short of men in those days," she winked. "I just saw a picture of the nine justices from that play and I couldn't even find myself among those bearded figures." A State Department announce- ment said Mallory had demanded, an explanation of why "an armed vessel of the Cuban navy fired, without provocation, on the U.S.S. Poacher while the latter was pur- suing a peaceful passage on the high seas." The Navy earlier had displayed ship logs and navigation charts to refute Castro's charges that United States warships violated Cuban waters. The navigation track of the Sea Poacher at the time of the disputed incident in- dicated she was more than five miles from the nearest rock or point of land ever claimed by Cuba. The incident occurred May 6 and until Castro made his charges about it Friday night, the United States Navy apparently had been unaware that its sub had been fired upon. Both the Navy and the State Department disputed Cas- trn's pcntentinn that the Eaft had MEMW
