VOL LXIX, No.47 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1959 FIVE CENTS SIX PA Ask NDEA Aid Despite Loyalty Oath By NORMA SUE WOLFE Despite recent University dis- satisfaction with loyalty oath and disclaimer affidavit provisions of the National Defense Education Act, a total of $296,565 in loans was committed to 386 students during the period from July 1- October 31. Flint College received an addi- tional $14,510. And two assistant deans who screen NDEA loan applicants be- lieve the requirements to swear allegiance to the United States and non-support of subversive organizations have had no effect on student applications for the federal loans. Dean Muhollan Comments "I don't think this has affected the use of the NDEA loan fund at all," Asst. Dean of Women Ger- trude Mulhollan said, "although Snow, Rain POSIone Air Flight Wolverines Forced To Take Eight-Hour Bus Ride to Indiana By TOM WITECKI Michigan's improving football teamwill try to bring its 1959 foot- ball 'record up to the .500 mark this afternoon when it faces the Indiana Hoosiers at Bloomington. A crowd of less than 30,000 is expected to witness the game in Indiana's Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers rate as a five, point fa- vorite in this Homecoming contest. The Weather Bureau predicts snow flurries and temperature in the 20's for! the contest, which marks Michigan's first visit to Bloomington since 1932. Kickoff time is 2:30 p.m. Eastern Stand- ard Time. Weather Cancels Flight Bad weather has already played a significant part in today's con- test. It caused the 'cancellation of the Michigan team's flight to Bloomington, forcing the Wol- verines to endure at least an eight hour bus ride that did not get them to the Indiana Campus un- til early this morning. With a 2-3 record in Confer- ence play, the Wolverines are seek- ing a victory that would raise them from their present seventh place tie in the standings. A win would also balance the gridders season record at four wins and four losses, giving them a chance to finish the season with a winning record, provided they can whip Ohio State in their final game at Ann Arbor next Satur- day. Hoosiers Stand Ninth With a 1-3-1 record, the Hoo- siers are ninth in the standings, but non - conference wins over Marquette and Nebraska have giv- en them a 3-3-1 overall mark. Their lone Big Ten win was a 20-0 shutout over Illinois in. the sea- s n's opener. Coach Bump Elliott's squad has developed into quite a road club this season, posting two of their three victories away from home surroundings. The squad that faces the Hoo- siers today is almost the same one that surprisedmthes Minilast week- end. There are two minor excep- tions: Ken Tureaud, member of the second team backfield, will be back in action after missing last week's game because: of a shoulder injury andbDonsHannah; will replace Paul Palmer as the team's third quarterback. Backfield To Switch Those listening to radio broad- casts from Bloomington can ex- pect to hear that a number of. Players are constantly switching we never know who may be stay- ing away because they find the provisions objectionable." Assistant Dean of Men John Bingley also reported no voiced objection to the requirements. "A good many applicants are veter- ans or teachers who have already taken a great number of oaths," he said. "Federal assistance . : . for making low interest loans to stu- dents to pursue their education" at the University is divided be- tween the offices of the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and Flint College. High Average Required To be eligible for the loan, a student must have maintained at least a 2.5 average, Dean' Bingley explained. The student must also demonstrate need, and special consideration is given to appli- cants planning a career in pub- lic school teaching and other' fields. A total of 240 men have been allotted $182,175 for the year, he said, with more graduate and professional students receiving assistance than any other class. Eighty-one graduates will borrow a total of $62,575. The gradation of allotments' made by the Dean of Men's office runs from-, 52 juniors and 51 seniors to 33 freshmen and 23 sophomores. Married students will receive 70 loans and 89 of the 240 presently have or will ob- tain their teachers' certificates. May Borrow $1,040 "A student may borrow a max- imum of $1,000 per year for five years," Dean Mul hollan ex- plained. "And repayment does not begin while the recipient of the loan is still a full-time student." But one year after the student leaves the University, he must start repaying the loan, she con- tinued. The normal method of, repayment extends over a 10-year period with 10 per cent repaid per year. A student may accelerate the process, or, if he becomes a public school teacher, may have 10 per cent of the debt cancelled each year for his first five years of in- struction. Women Get Funds The Office of the Dean of Wo- men has committed $114,390 since July 1 and will appropriate "close to another $100,000 during the balance of the year," Dean Mul- hollan estimated.-; Loans were committed to 146 women during the four-month period, she reported. By class, 50 are freshmen, 14 sophomores, 28 juniors, 28 seniors, and 26 gradu- ate or professional students. "This is the first time loan funds have been available to en- tering freshmen," Dean Mulhol- lan said. "No other University loans are available to them when they first come to campus." The average loan per individual woman student is $785 for the year, she continued. meant Certificates Of the 146 who have been granted loans, 89 now have or plan to. obtain a teacher's certi- ficate. Twenty-six others are ma- joring in fields cited by the NDEA as "preferred"' mathematics, sci- ence, engineering, and ,modern languages. In action last year, the Student Government Council and the Fac- ulty Senate took a stand to urge repeal of "objectionable" Section 1001 of the act. SGC adopted a motion calling the loyalty oaths and disclaimer affidavits an "in- fringement on academic freedom" because they "exercise a restraint' on free inquiry." The Faculty Senate recognized the definitive difficulties of the section which necessitates swear- ing the applicant "does not be- lieve in, and is not a member of and does not support any organ- i z a t i o n that believes in or teaches" the overthrow of the government. Senate members further said that the belief in the superiority of democracy is best communicat- ed by free exchange of ideas. The oath, in stifling this belief, weak- ens the superiority. On June 24, the Senate Labor Committee approved a bill' to eliminate the loyalty oath re- quirements from the act. A month later, the Senate voted to send the bill back to committee and killed repeal of the oath and affi- davit requirement for that ses- sion of Congress. Total U.S.Output To Rise Slightly Economic Outlook Meetings End; Colo Calls Future Fairly Optimistic Total national production of goods and services should increas three or four per cent next year, possibly passing the $500 billion rate before the end of 1960. This was the consensus of speakers at the University's seventi annual Conference on the Economic Outlook, which closed her yesterday. Gerhard Colm, chief economist of the National Planning Associa tion, summarized seven papers presented to 100 of the nation's leadini economists, bankers, and businessmen. Calls Outlook Good Calling the outlook "fairly optimistic," he said that it is not goo( enough for the long run. Colm said the .United States should no engage in an economic "growth race" with Russia, but should have a long-teri growth rate of five or six pei cent, not necessarily across the board, but in selected areas of .: the economy. Two experts dissented from the view that this rate of growth was necessary to a health economy. ~~~~~Prof. Richard A. Musgrave of ....-. Johns Hopkins University and °.,*. Walter D. Fackler of the United x States Chamber of Commerce t > spoke on the "Economic Outlook." , So far as this country is con- cerned, Prof. Musgrave said, growth is probably less important than stable prices and mainte- nance of tfree markets. vridders Traveal ored IU SENATE REPORT: Prof. Cohen Sees' Economic Strain [eet Fav -- 1 Prof. Wilbur J. Cohen of the School -of Social Work yesterday appeared before the Senate's Spe- cial Committee on Unemployment Problems and predicted a rise in the nation's unemployed next year. He also discussed federal as- sistance to states for direct wel- fare grants and an equalizing of unemployment tax rates and benefits. Prof. Cohen predicted the na- tion's unemployment will average Calls College Enrollments 'Inadequate' Michigan's growing number of college age people is outstripping increases in Michigan college en- rollments, Edward G. Groesbeck, director of the Office of Registra- tion and Records, said yesterday. Groesbeck reported fall enroll- ments in IMichigan colleges and universities at the annual meet- ing of the Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and 'Admis- sions Officers at Alma College. He explained that the state's college age people have grown in number by 29,000 since last fall, but the enrollments have increased by only 8,000. Ordinarily, he continued, "a lit- tle better than one third of the' college age people go to school. Thus, it is likely that there are many ablesyoung people in Michi- gan who have not been able to at- tend college this fall." In sufficient support restricted the institutions so that adequate facilities were not provided, he said. Saying that the only schools that many students are able to at- tend are those near their homes, he pointed out that if enrollments are restricted by the schools' eco- nomic conditions, these students must be turned away. between four and four and one- half million next year, compared with 3,272,000 in October, and that a 1961-62 recession similar to 1957-58's is likely. Lacks Protection "It is now clear from recent' experience," Prof. Cohen said, "that in its present form our fed- eral-state unemployment insur- ance system does not afford suf- ficient protection to unemployed persons and their families during. recession. "Unemployment insurance," he said, "cannot and should not be made to cover all needs that arise as a result of unemployment. Six- ty per cent of those unemployed 26 weeks or more in 1958 had no liquid assets. , He pointed out some states make no allowance for an unem- ployed person's number of de- pendents, special medical needs or exhaustion of benefits. Limit Relief In addition, Prof. Cohen con- tinued, direct relief in many com- munities is limited to unemploy- ables and in many states direct relief is financed entirely by counties from property taxes. A member of Congress' Advi- sory Council on Public Assistance, he would amend federal law to require all states to collect a flat rate of tax from all industry, and he proposed that the rate of bene- fits, within a six-year period, be standardized at 50 per cent of gross weekly pay for 30 to .39, weeks. t Al Barbour, president of the Wayne County AFL-CIO,. report- ed that Detroit's direct relief load jumped from $6,694,000 in 1953 to $24,896,000 in 1958 and said that projects indicated the area will have nine to 12 per cent of its labor force unemployed for the foreseeable future. Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich.) also appeared as a witness. He claimed defense department shifts from wheeled vehicles to missiles were to blame for some of Michigan's job dislocation. Fackler agreed, saying that the right rate of growth is not the maximum rate, but depends on many other factors which can be influenced by public policy but are not determined by it. Discounts Luxuries Internationally, Musgrave ex- plained, production of luxuries does the United States little good, for we need growth in the stra- tegic area of our economy. These would include the major defense industries primarily. Fackler and Prof. Musgrave also maintained that taxes were not a serious hindrance to economic growth. The kind of, taxes 'and the kind of expenditures are much more important than the amount, they said. In spite of this point of view, Colm maintained that "forced draft" growth might become necessary in a few years. He said that a higher growth rate now might prevent this happening. Forecasts Increase Forecasting an increase of Ap- proximately $5 billion in business capital spending next year, he said that excellent economic conditions in Europe point to a rise 'in exports' of about $1 billion. He anticipates consumer spending will rise $2: billion, as should state and local government expenditures. He said that inventory increases and other factors should bring the total production of goods and services to an average rate of $495" billion for 1960, about $15 billion over 1959. Colin also pointed out, that it would take twice as great an in- crease as this to achieve full em- ployment next year. In spite of the fact that some. international tensions have, re- cently eased somewhat, Colm said that the "traveling competition" between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Premiere Nikita S.' Khrushchev might cause an in- crease in defense spending in the near future to become necessary. CHRISTIAN HERTER ... clarifies stand GQALWARD BOUND-Michigan halfback ,Bennie McCrae (43) drives deep into Illinois territory on the Wolverines final touchdown drive in last week's victory over Illinois. McCrae and his teammates are five-point underdogs today as they meet the Hoosiers of Indiana in Bloomington. Today's game will mark only the second time the Wolverines have ever played in Bloomington. FROM WILLOW RUN: Airlines To Vote on Metropolitan Move Seven commercial airlines now. operating from Willow Run Air- port recently announced that they will give a joint "yes-or-no" an- swer Nov. 30 on a proposed move to Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The statement came after the Wayne County Road Commission announced its $26 million plans to double the capacity of Detroit Metropolitan. Indications from airline repre- sentatives were that the Willow Run carriers will make the switch to Detroit Metropolitan, if a few "problems" can be negotiated sat- isfactorily.-. Robert J. Wilson, Capital Air- lines vice-president and spokes- man for the Willow Run car- riers, said Tuesday that "we want to. move" if practical and feasible, although costs of the Wayne County proposal appear "some- what high." Segregation Law Passed MONTGOMERY, Ala. (A")-The Alabama legislature, determined to strengthen its stand for racial' segregation, has passed bills to fi- nance private segregated schools and put brakes on Negro voter registration. The action came without oppo- sition Thursday night in the last few hours of the 1959 session. The bills were sent immediately to Gov. John Patterson for his sig- nature. The school measure would al- Under the proposed expansion program at Detroit Metropolitan, the Willow Run carriers would be expected to pay $13,100,000 for a new terminal and improvements over a 40-year period, and an ad- ditional $10,700,000 In the next 25 years for hangars and a fuel farm. Expansion of the present year-old Detroit Metropolitan terminal ac- counts for the remaining $2,200,- 000. "We've no quarrel" with the schedule of landing fees and space rental proposed by Wayne county, Wilson said, although they would be approximately double compar- able charges made now at Willow Run and higher than the present Detroit Metropolitan carriers are paying.. The Wayne County proposal, latest in a series offered to the Willow Run carriers in the last, year, calls for construction of a new $8,200,000 terminal building connected to the present Detroit Metropolitan terminal. Herter Calls Chinese Raid 'Abh WASHINGTON () - Secretary of State Christian A. Herter yes- terday added "wholly abhorrent' to his after-thought statement of Thursday that Red China was "wholly in the wrong" In using force against India. In a further effort to clear up any misunderstandings, Herter called Indian Minister D. N. Chat- terjee to his office and assured him that Herter's statements a1 a news conference Thursday "were not.meant to imply any condone- ment by the United States govern- ment of the use of force by the Chinese Communists." Herter. also told Chatterjee that the United States: "strongly sym- pathizes with India's. attempts to resolve the present issues with Communist China peacefully." Commented on U.S. Stand .At Thursday's news conference Herter said the United States had taken no.-position on the relative merits of the border dispute be- tween India and Red China, Later he issued a statement ex- plaining he was referring Ionly to legal issues. He said Red China's use of force in the dispute was "wholly in the wrong., Lincoln White, State Depart- ment press officer, said Herter called Chatterjee in yesterday to "clarify any, possible misconcep- tion regarding the statements he made at his news conference Thursday concerning the India- China border situation." Clarifies U.S. Position IWhite said Herter made it clear that the United States govern- ment views the Chinese Commu- nist actions as "a reflection of the brutal disregard. of normal inter- national procedures which has characterized Red China's actioni for the past decades." "Their actions are wholly ab- horrent to the United States gov- erment." Chatterjee told newsmen he had not been alarmed by Herter's original statement refusing to take sides in the relative legal merits of the dispute. . Religion's Place Are the traditional doctrines of religion becoming extinct? Is the church becoming a big business in today's society? These questions and others MORE THAN 500 ATTEND: Visitors See International Scenes at World's Fair By PETER STUART, More than 500 University students and Ann Arbor residents took a respite from bluebooks and Ann Arbor rain last night, stepping into far away lands at the World's Fair in the Union ballroom. Strolling from room to room on the Union's second and third floors, the visitors were greeted by strains of strange-sounding music, guides ini full national costume and colorful displays 'of the cultures of 18 foreign nations. The exhibits were all prepared and manned by University stu- dents and faculty members who are citizens of the various countries. Displays Outstanding Outstanding among the displays were those of Iran and Turkey which adjoined one another on the terrace. The Iranian exhibit gave the impression of venturing into a genuine Persian market, as cos- tumed "vendors" called attention to tables of glassware, molded sil- ver and hanging tapestries. At the other end of the terrace, waiters from Turkey served steaming Turkish coffee and sweet Mid-Eastern delicacies to those seated at small tables along the darkened terrace. The Chinese room resembled a softly-lighted pagoda, with its .:_..- - - - - - - -.: U
