Louis C. Rabaut (D-Mich.) indicated. The bill was not voted upon yesterday as had been expected, Rabaut added, because a motion was made requesting a, roll-call vote to recommit the bill back to the House appropriations committee to reconsider the Kensu Dam request. "It will not go back to committee; the chances are too slim," he said. Rabaut expects that the bill will be voted upon and passed by noon today. The bill will be sent to the Senate appropriations sub- committee immediately. "Chances are very good that the cyclotron proposal will be passed by the Senate this term, if it al- ready has been passed by the House," Sen. Dennis Chavez (D- N.M.) said. If Congress approves the cyclo- tron proposal, the University will begin construction of a $1 million building to house the new medium energy-cyclotron along with the cyclotron that is now in use. The Regents approved the ask- ing of bids at their monthly meet- ing Friday. The bids will be con- sidered at the July meeting.

CTh e bonmte unerSi E MIDAS: Air Force Launches 'SpyEye' CAPE CANAVERAL (P) - The United States launched an experi- mental Midas "spy-eye" satellite into orbit yesterday, opening a new chapter in the race for space. The 2.5 ton satellite will test the feasibility of using orbiting space stations to provide almost instant warning of a ballistic missile at-. tack. The satellite, first of its kind In the world, was boosted aloft from this missile test center at 12:37 p.m., (EST) by a powerful 88-foot Atlas-Agena rocket. Reaches Orbit Two hours later, shortly after United Nations reconvened to re- sume the U-2 spy debate, the Air Force announced the mammoth Midas was spinning around the earth. It was unable immediately to give the precise' position in orbit because of a malfunction in track- ing computers at the satellite test wing at Sunnyvale, Calif. The data from the satellite radio was hand-computed and officials announced later that Midas was in a near - circular orbit that ranged from an apogee of 316 miles and perigee of 300 miles. It circles the earth every 94.34 min- utes. Transmitters Work Lt. Col. Henry Riepe, Midas pro- ject director, said radio trans- mitters in the 22-foot long space messenger are working perfectly. The "spy - in - the - sky" was equipped with an infra-red scan- ning device capable of instan- taneous spotting and reporting of the launching of a hostile ballistic missile. The first test satellite was not aimed at a course which would take it over Russia. Its path covers all territory 28 degrees north and south of the equator. Midas' practice mission is to test its equipment with giant sodium flares to be ignited at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., and on rocket launchings at Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg, AFB, Calif. The first flare will be fired on the ground within a few days. Begins Series Within two years, a series of six or eight Midas satellites parading and flying through space are ex- pected to provide complete and constant scanning of the earth's surface. By flashing the alam at the blastoff of enemy missiles, they would give the United States 30 minutes to prepare for nuclear bombardment, to send retaliatory rockets on the way and to get per- sons into shelter. The launching is almost certain to make its mark in the United Nations, where Russia seeks con- demnation of the United States as an aggressor for spying on So- viet territory with the U-2 plane downed on May Day. America de- fends such flights as necessary to detect Soviet military buildup be- hind the Iron Curtain. ;7 .{..1; :ii ,$:?y:t} "%K;r ~r !y " .":.S"""a N"$fi 4:. ..: r r..".". 5 °sc'Y° ;rS' ,T::r"'" "ag"::"'"R . r as"{rr. ,"^;",:..Yfr ^r"Plti'."w7. r'SJ.::!"'tr'J".,c;}:^^ tr -David Giltrow Tom Turner, Daily Editor By ROBERT JtNKER City Editor Daily editor Thomas Turner leads two rather disorganized lives. Sitting amid scattered papers at the table in his apartment eating a hastily-prepared din-, ner, Tom does not. appear to be the same neatly dressed, suave Daily editor who visits Regents meetings periodically. Behind his Daily desk littered inches deep in memos to him- self, newspaper clippings which have caught his eye and letters from college editors across the country, Tom spent the year directing the operations of the newspaper. On the Run His typical 10-hour day had him running, from class to the Student Publications Bldg. and around campus to visit student leaders, administrators and fac- ulty men. Within the Daily it- self his time was spent answer- ing letters, solving , the small crises which arose every half- hour or so, answering a myriad of questions, and attempting to formulate policy amid the chaos around him. Tom held the unusual view (for a Daily editor) that it was the editor's job to run the news- paper. Most of his time was spent doing just that. Inside the building, he served as the appellate court for the staff, supervised the content of each issue and kept the total opera- tions of the paper firmly under control. This concept of the editor- Low Appropriation Offset.b Fee Raisc Increased Budget Provides for Ris In Faculty Pay, Library Spendin By SUSAN FARRELL University administrators yesterday considered the mE jor problems and questions faced in the past year-amor them admissions, growing space and the legislative apprc priation. Vice-President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L.

The student fee increasi approved by the Regents at their last meeting, boosted th University's operating budget, - ship cut down Tom's visiting time - he was not in the Ad- ministration' Bldg. as often as his predecessors. But he still found time to discuss the future of the University with Univer- sity Vice-President Marvin Nie- huss or the foreign student problem with ISA president M. A. Hyder Shah. Voting a consistently liberal ticket as an ex-officio member of SGC, Tom strongly supported the Southern Negro students who lined the lunch counters to gain the right to equal service. His motion to send letters of protest from the Council to Southern governors brought the Council nation - wide publicity and helped to increase the strong national student sym- pathy with the strikers. See TOM, Page 2 composed basically of the leg- islative appropriation and stu- dent fees, to $46.2 million for 1960-61. This is $3.6 million more than last year's budget. The extra amount allows a "little loosening up on the bud- get," Niehuss said.. "It is not by any means a growth budget, but it does pre- serve our position." More than 60per cent of the $3.6 million added to the budget will be used for faculty salaries on "an individual, selected, though widespread basis," Niehuss said.' To Buy Book Part of the amount will be used for books and cataloguing. The University has been spend- ing approximately $2 million an- nually, just under 5 per cent of its total budget, for the libraries; and books and services "have not been what they should," Niehuss added. Approximately $100,000 of the additional $3.6 million has been set aside for improved plant maintenance. The University's need for more space also was and is a serious. problem. "We did finally get a start on a building program (the Institute- Physics-Astronomy Bldg. for which plans are being drawn up). It's not a very big one, but it's im- portant." Admission a Problem Another "troublesome, pressing and difficult" problem in the past year has been University admis- sions. The University can expect the largest freshman class in its his- tory this fall, Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis said. The class should number ap- proximately 3,200, which is 100 more than this year's. The admissions question ob- viously become increasingly dis- turbing not only on a national but on a University level, Lewis said. The tuition increase set at Fri- day's Regents' meeting will .apply to the summer session of 1960, Harold Dorr, dean of state-wide education and director of the summer session, said. The previous summer session fee of $70 for instate students and $150 for outstate students will be increased to $80 and $195 respectively. "The Eooituder Sir Geoffrey became a paper cele- brated, for its exposition of the economic facts of the day that was clear, precise and ruthless, and for its forceful advocacy of the policies its editor thought were right," The London Observer noted. In spite of the fact that he won an honors degree in two subjects at Cambridge University, the Ob- server added, "he did not pre- tend to be an academic economist, choosing to apply economic prin- ciples to political problems of the . week." Board Director A director on the ,Board of the Encyclopedia Britannica, he has written five books, including an analytical study of the New Deal, in cooperation with the other edi- tors of The Economist. After his education at Caim- bridge, Crowther also studied at Yale and Columbia Universities as a Commonwealth Fellow from 1929 to 1931. He has been awarded honorary debrees by Nottingham College and the University of London and is the author of a 20-year educa- tion expansion plan for English youths. To Request Liquor Vote Twenty-four Ann Arbor tavern owners will begin a door-to-door canvass of the city June 1 seeking a vote on repeal of the prohibition against sale of liquor by the glass. These members of the Ann Ar- bor Licensees' Association need 5,762 signatures on petitions to put the issue on the November ballot. (The figure 5,762 represents 35 per cent of the number of electors who cast votes for all secretary of state nominees in the last Novem- ber election-a figure determined by state, law.) The 24 licensees will concentrate on one city precinct, "getting their 'baptismal fire' there," and then become captains in the city-wide drive, William Lolgs, spokesman for the association, said. The association has received many letters so far which indicate a favorable reaction to the pro- posal, he added. NOTES PROGRESS: Human Relations Board Outlines Plan. <" By CYNTHIA NEU The work of the student Human Relations Board for the past year and plans for the future were out- lined at the Board's banquet last night. The Board, which works with students, student groups, business- men, the Ann Arbor Human Rela- tions Commission and the Ann Arbor Council of Churches, to re- move discrimination in many areas. Notes Progress Ellen Lewis, '60, past chairman of the Board, noted the progress made in the last few years in- cluding integration of the resi- dence halls, off-campus housing, and the Student Government Council motion to end discrimina- tion in recognized campus organi- zations. "We have a greater responsi- bility now than ever before," Miss Lewis explained, "because the variety and number of students interested in the area of civil rights have increased greatly. The Human Relations Board has the job to be a leader in demonstrat- ing to others ways to implement integration. "This year the Board has be- come a central body to which problems are brought by individu- als and groups asking for advice and aid," Miss Lewis added. Explains Functions In explaining the Board's func- tions, Miss Lewis also noted that "although the University may at times not move as quickly as the Board would like, they are willing to be pushed, and this is our job." Chairman James Seder, '61, said the Board plans to continue much of its present work next year in such areas as off-campus housing, studying ways to better integrate international students in to cam- pus life, working with the Ann Arbor Human Relations Commis- sion and continuing the Board's test case program. Seder noted that the entire area of human relations has been changing. He explained that while in former years integration in housing and other steps to elimi- nate discriminations were unex- plored areas, now routine methods for dealing with these problems have been developed. "The situations we must deal with in the future are less appar- ent on the surface," Seder said. One important function of the Board therefore will be an educa- tional one to inform students and the public as a whole of latent problems. Professors e Say Beeine Due for U.S By MICHAEL BURNS The "law of evolutionary po-:- tential" calls for under-developed countries to surpass the United States and other Western cuf~ tures, two University professors say. Their recently - published book "Evolution and Culture" explains this "new law." The book is editedr and Written by Prof. Elman Serv- ice and Marshall Sahlins of the anthropology department with . Prof. David -Kaplan of the Uni-. versity of Oklahoma and Univer- sity teaching fellow Thomas Hard.. ing. Forms Adapt Cultures and, forms adapt to their environs, 'both organic and super-organic, and thus form new characteristics which maybe viewed as progress,' they say. On the other hand, be becoming well adapted, they lose their potential for change. Nationsevolve in the same manner. Therefore, the United States has 'already become stab- ilized by its adaptation and other, less-developed countries have a potential for surpassing it. The country with the best pos- sibility for doing this, the book says, is not Soviet Russia (which had a "premature revolution"), but Red China. Strict Organization This country has virtually noth- ing but strict organization in gov- ernment and undeveloped human and natural resources. It is like a blank sheet of paper which can borrow the best of existing cul- tures and write it down. Greece and Rome have, illus- trated this law of evolutionary potential in the past as both rose to cultural dominance and then were conquered and surpassed by less developed socities which had. greater potential. Why has the world developed through chaotic revolution in the recent century? "The Western nations have failed completely to comprehend the' nature of the revolution and spread of indust- rial civilization." No Annihilation The United States will not be annihilated or overrun by this rise, of the lesser nations of today, the authors predict. The, possibilities of a planned total war are slim f or neither side would have any- thing to gain. Therefore, we must adjust our- selves to helping these less fortu- nate countries 'as much ,and as rapidly as possible, rather than continue to impede the industri- alization of the rest of the world." The United States should be- come aristrocratic, wise, "the teachers and models of ethics, sci- entific reasoning and dignified manners," the book says.

She was drawing on her experience in "Streetcar Named Desire," the Tennessee Williams' drama which she played on Broadway and in Hollywood. Panoramic scenes, such as fights, were more effective, on stage, she said. The film was also a little inadequate in the scene in which Blanche appears under the bare hanging light bulb, because it was unable to capture the "rawness" of the scene. Communication Effective But communication of emotion through facial expression, for example, was much more effective in close camera scenes, she added. "I attended the University because it was far from my home in New York," Robert Q. Lewis said. A more important reason, he added, was the University's excellent radio department, under the direction of Waldo Abbott. Lewis got much of his experience broadcasting special University programs over regular Ann Arbor and Detroit stations because "when I was here there was no WUOM or University radio station." Reminisces About U' Lewis reminisced about his University acquaintances when he was a student in the speech department about 19 years ago. He mentioned Richard McKelvey, now in the English depart- ment, who used to ran the Children's Theatre. He also remembered Prof. William Halstead who is still in the speech denartment. and ..*.* . . .* . HM K:.-.*:-,-m =a m
