LXX, No. 65 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1959 FIVE CENTS SIX PAGES Grewe Assays Summit German Ambassador Sees Hope Only for Disarmament By JEAN HARTWIG If anything is settled at next spring's tentative East-West sum- mit conference, it will be the disarmament question, West Germany's ambassador Wilhelm G. Grewe said here yesterday. But he thinks that such meetings are mostly all talk and little action. Speaking on "Germany Facing the Summit," Grewe predicted possible action on Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's "sweeping Sees Waste In U.S. ity. Redeveloping DETROIT (M) - "The federal government is pouring millions of dollars down a rat hole in its urban renewal program," an archi- tect-educator said last night. "Lavish expenditures are being made without any real national goal in mind," Robert H. Snyder, head of the architecture depart- ment at Cranbrook Academy of Arts in suburban Birmingham, told members of Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity. Cities may obtain up to two- thirds of the cost in federal aid in razing and re - developing both blighted residential and business areas. "The whole process is extrava- gently inefficient. It represents a shocking, shameful waste of hu- man resources. This is what hap- pens when political expediency dictates the spending of money in an area where it will get the most votes, rather than where it will do the most good," Snyder said. Snyder said a study he directed at Cranbrook "to determine the ideal size of the United States city of the future and to develop a master plan for making the wis- est use of this nation's potential" helped him reach his conclusions. He said the study showed the ideal population for a rural com- munity was up to 20,000; from 20,- 000 to 60,000 for a rural-urban community, and from 60,000 to 120,000 for an urban community. "We can support a population of 1,600,000,000 if we use our re- sources economically," Snyder said. "But we will be in deep trouble if we continue our make- shift, patchwork planning for the future. This lack of vision is mani- fest in our governmental agencies." We build bigger and better roads so people can continue to concen- trate in super-metropolitan areas, when what we should do is provide for the orderly decentralization of our population, he added. 1J' Acquires Bakery Lad The University has arranged to buy the Creamo Bakery property on the street near Wines Field, to serve as a dry storage area for foodstuffs, Vice-President for Bus- ; ess and Finance Wilbur K. Pier- pont said yesterday. It was sold to the University for c~ash and a piece of land twice as large as the present bakery site. The purchase, financed from food service revenues, was authorized by the Regents. Pierpont said the building's 14,- 800 square feet will be used initi- ally to provide additional storage area for food service enterprises. Pierpont added that the pur- chase reflects a continuing policy of moving service facilities out of the central campus area. The present Food Service Center' at Huron and Glen will be main- tained for meats, ice cream and other refrigerated foodstuffs. The University property to be exchanged for Creamo is one of seven lots opposite the old botani- cal gardens site, offered for sale by the University earlier this year. Ike To, Get Yale Painting FromNrn hr new proposal" for total world dis- armament within four years be- cause of a "common interest to survive." Warns Participants However, he warned participat- ing nations not to get lost in pointless discussions on the broad propositions. In addition to the disarmament question, Grewe said summit talks will also consider the Germany- Berlin question and world rela- tions in general. Calling the Allies "already on the ultimate line of retreat" since the Geneva Conference, he ex- plained they were in a touchy bar- gaining position on Soviet propos- als for 1) establishing Berlin as a free city or 2) dividing East and West Germany into separate neu- tral states. Thinks It Too Late Since the Western powers took a stand against the proposals in Geneva it is too late to back down now. The Soviets know what their opposition is and have prepared for it, Grewe said. He declared if German were a neutral nation, her balance be- tween the East and West would be too precarious to resist Soviet domination and if this happened war would result. Because of this position, he said, West Germany is "very re- luctant" to discuss proposed neu- trality at the summit conference. Grewe appealed to the West to reject the Soviet proposal. Warns West Although he predicted a pos- sible loosening of East-West re- lations because the cold war is no longer generally "popular," the German ambassador warned the West not to be lulled into a re- laxation of protective measures. He also criticized adopting So- viet vocabulary for the negotia- tions, explaining that Soviet prop- aganda, coercion and rivalry will still exist,'even though such words as Nikolai Lenin's "peaceful co- existence" are used. There will always be aggressive competition between nations, he said. Mentions Difficulties He included the pressure of public opinion, restricted time and lack of expert knowledge as other difficulties "inherent" in summit meetings. Explaining that such difficulties are more disadvantageous to "the side in a position to give some- thing," he noted that public opin- ion has a much greater influence in the West because the Soviet Union is not influenced as much by the opinions of its citizens. "Although there is some contro- versy on the success of other sum- mit meetings, there is general agreement that they are not al- ways successful and sometimes even harmful," the German am- bassador said, pointing out sever- al past conferences as examples. The Tehran and Yalta confer- ences during the war "more or less paved the way for Soviet domination of Eastern Europe" and the 1938 Munich meeting "necessarily led to the outbreak of World War.II," he declared. JAMES K. POLLOCK ... receives award Give Award To Pollock Prof. James K. Pollock, chair- man of the political science de- partment, was awarded the Knight Commander Cross of the Order of Merit of the West German Federal Republic yesterday. The award was presented to Prof. Pollock by German am- bassador Wilhelm G. Grewe after his lecture yesterday afternoon. Grewe cited his country's grati- tude to Prof. Pollock for "dis- tinguished services" in promoting understanding and political alli- ance and arousing interest in the German problem. SGC Sets Committee Members By JEAN SPENCER Ellen Lewis, '60, and Stan Levy, Grad., were appointed to the Stu- dent Government Council Com- mittee on Referral at last night's SGC meeting. John Goodrich, '60BAd., execu- tive vice-president of the Union, presented a plan for establishing an SGC Chamber of Commerce student-business relations commit- tee. The Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce has approached the Council on the possibiiity of form- ing such a committee. Its main function. Goodrich explained,, would be to study misconceptions that exist between University stu- dents and businesses in Ann Arbor. The committee would be set up to gather information and educate students regarding the compara- tivecost of living index of Ann Arbor, Goodrich continued. A motion was passed establish- ing the committee. Students on the committee will include the executive vice-presi- dent of the Union as non-voting chairman, and representatives from Inter-House Council, Inter- fraternity Council, Panhellenic, Assembly, the Union, the League. SGC and the Graduate Student Council. A motion by Jeff Jenks, '61, was passed after amendment by Phillip Zook, '60, to the effect that SGC sponsor a debate or debates next semester on the following subjects: a) liquor by the glass, and b) geo- graphical restrictions of on-prem- ises consumption of alcoholic bev- erages. Make Bid For New Tax Bill LANSING WP) - House Republi- cans started the wheels rolling on a $49.5 million temporary tax pro- gram yesterday and went to Demo- crats for support. Heart of the plan is a $34 mil- lion nuisance tax package ap- proved last week by the Republi- can-controlled Senate. To this, House GOP tax strate gists added $13 million in a one year corporate franchise fee boost and $2.5 nillion from a $2 fee on motorists convicted of moving traffic violations. To Divert Funds Also sent to the House floor for a vote was a bill to divert $8.5 million from the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund to support traffic control work by the State Police. Currently the sum, about two- thirds of the State Police budget, comes from the state's General Fund. Atty. Gen. Paul L. Adams squelched a similar move last year, holding the diversion was unconstitutional. "We won't insist upon it as part of our package," said Rep. Allison Green (R-Kingston), House Re- publican floor leader and chief architect of the new GOP tax plan. Some Republican leaders said it was doubtful the House would vote on the tx proposals before next week. Twenty-five of the 54 Democrats were missing from yes- terday's session; only three of the 55 Republicans were absent. "There's no doubt that we need eight to 12 Democratic votes to put this thing across," said Green. "Not all of our boys will go for it." "It's this or nothing," said Rep. Wilfred G. Bassett (R-Jackson), assistant floor leader. "If this one doesn't go, we won't get anything this year." Call Caucus Democratic floor leader .Joseph J. Kowalski of Detroit called a night caucus of his colleagues to talk over the GOP blueprint. "It's very possible that we'll give them the votes they need to pass the corporation franchise bill," he said. "In fact, we might propose increasing the fee by two mills and raising $26 million. "But I don't know that we would go for the tax on traffic violations. This is a Republican plan and it's up to them to pro- duce the votes." Student Group Protests Link Of JapannU.S. TOKYO OP) - Some 4,000 left- ist Japanese students converged on central Tokyo yesterday for a new march on Parliament to de- nounce Japan's military links with the United States. Led by the extreme leftist Zen- gakuren student organization, which claims a nationwide mem- bership of 350,000, the students' poured into Hibiya Park, across the street from the Imperial Ho- tel, on foot, by streetcar and bus. Police vowed to prevent a repe- tion of the Nov. 27 demonstration at the Diet (Parliament) Build- ing in which 700 persons were in- jured, Earlier in the day, police seized three of Zengakuren's leaders, as a vote of the Tokyo University student body virtually disowned the association. 'U' Receives Large Grant From GM To Finance Research In Industrial Health A $500,000 grant from General M o t o r s Corporation yesterday brought new campaign pledges for the University's Phoenix Project to a total of $760,000. The gift will be used over the search in industrial health and next five years to continue re- the peaceful uses of atomic ener- gy. To be paid in five annual in- stallments, the grant allocates $350,000 to the Institute of In- dustrial Health, a unit created in 1950 with a $1.5 million General Motors gift. The remaining $150,- 000 will go for unrestricted studies of the peaceful uses of atomic en- ergy. Honors War Dead Originally set up nine years ago to honor the University's dead of World War II, the Phoenix Proj- ect has been devoted entirely to the peaceful applications and im- plications of atomic. energy. With the initial $8 million fi- nancing from private gifts run- ning out, the University has set its new campaign to raise $2 mil- lion for five more years of opera- tion. In accepting the General Mo- tors gift, University President Harlan Hatcher said, "Nine years ago, when Phoenix was in its in- fancy, General Motors assured im- mediate success with a gift of $1.5 million. "As the Project now enters its second decade, this company is again strongly supporting work beneficial to all industrial em- ployees and the general public." Means 'Better Life' The auto company president pointed out, "Harnessing the atom for peaceful purposes will mean a better life for mankind every- where." "In the relatively brief period of its existence," he added, "the Institute of Industrial Health has contributed importantly to the knowledge of, industrial medicine. It is now recognized as one of the world's . . . great education, re- search and service centers in the industrial health fields." The University's i n d u s t r i a l health research aims at preven- tion, diagnosis and treatment of occupational diseases.

The present "unrepresentative" character of the districting amounts to violation of due pro- cess and equal protection under the laws, as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, state AFL-CIO President August Scholle charged. , Re. asked the court to order re- drawing of the districts. If Scholle's petition is backed by the court, re- apportionment would have to take place before the 1960 elections. The labor leader called for dis- tricts based on population rather than area, as they are at present-) in Oakland County one senator represents 637,000 persons,. while the senator from the smallest dis- trict represents only 53,000 Scholle noted. Legal action would involve in- validating a 1952 state constitu- tioial amendment which froze the Senate districts in present form. The amendment only required that the House districts be re- divided every decade; House dis- tricts are based on population. Sen. Edward Hutchinson (R- Fennville) called the' petition, "nothing but a propaganda move" and doubted that the case was a federal question, as Scholle claims. "This matter of unequal repre- sentation," Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams countered, "has held up a lot of progress. It involves every state in the country." Gov. G. Mennen Williams called the proposal an "appealing idea." TWO Students fCaught Hiding In, Apartment, Two University students face disorderly charges for hiding in Crowds Hail Man Believed Protector In Religious Trinity By The Associated Press NEW DELHI - Asia's greatest democracy engulfed President Dwight D. Eisenhower Tuesday night in an emotional welcome which got out of control. At one stage Secret Service guards rushed into the car beside the President as thousands of In- dians pressed against it in a dis- play that was at once inspiring and terrifying. But the President came through it all weary but smiling. He told Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru he was "completely overwhelmed." Perhaps a million and a half Indians joined in the biggest wel- come this country ever has given a foreign visitor. Crumple Lines The throngs crumpled police lines, repeatedly halting the blue open Cadillac in which Eisenhower was riding with Nehru. Sometimes the crowd pressed forward in frightening waves. At the Con-. naught Circus shopping center Eisenhower and Nehru were sur- rounded by a sea of cheering people for more than 15 minutes. India's President Rajendra Pra- sad had called upon his people to welcome Eisenhower as "a messen- ger of peace." And it was in this spirit that the people came throng- ing to see the first United States president ever to visit India. The people also undoubtedly felt reassured by Eisenhower's presence at a time when Red China stands menacingly on India's Himalayan frontier. Acclaim President Indian villagers acclaimed the President as a reincarnation of Vishnu, protector in the Hindu trinity. The rousing reception began at the airport, where police first had to force back crowds. There Nehru told Eisenhower: "We are grateful to you and to your country for this visit." The Prime Minister noted the long friendship of India and the United States and declared the visit makes this friendship "even stronger, more durable and last- ing." In reply, Eisenhower said that "India, determined to live in peace has devoted her entire efforts, all her treasure, all her talent, all her brains to raising the standards of her own people so as to give them a better chance for a better life." Mentions Alternatives "My friends," he continued, "these efforts are going to succeed if, the world can have peace. All of us know ,it. The only alternative to global war is peace. The other alternative is too horrible even to mention. "So I think that I can best explain that the deepest purpose I have in coming here is this: to symbolize, if I can and if I may so presume, the fact that the United States stands with India; the leaders of 'the United States standing with the leaders of India in our common quest for peace." Eisenhower scheduled his first talks with Nehru today. Ranking high on the agenda undoubtedly will be the dispute between Red China and India over their Hima- layan frontiers. Afghans Welcome Surging throngs of Afghans, many in tattered robes and tur- bans, also cheered Eisenhower en- thusiastically yesterday in their country on the doorstep of the Soviet Union. The President, on a fleeting stop between visits to Pakistan and India, was assured by King Mo- hammed Zahir that the ancient land means to keep its indepen- dence even though it is accepting millions of dollars in Soviet aid. By MICHAEL BURNS Work on a space platform which will probe the mysteries of. celestial bodies is hoped to be completed in a year and a half, Prof. William Liller of the astron- omy department said in his lec- ture on "Space Astro-physics" last night. The payload, which will be pow- ered by a Thor rocket, will circle the earth 300 to 400 miles out in space. It will contain instruments capable of measuring and analyz- ing radio waves, ultra-violet and ly good pictures compared to others taken inside the earth's at- mosphere, he reported. Rocket photographs have prov- en to be the best so far. With a spectroscope mounted in the nose of an Aero-Bee rocket, plates with a precision of 10's of seconds of arc are possible. Since many extra-terrestrial oc- currences last for a number of minutes, such as sun - spots, the rocket photography method has its limits, also, Prof. Liller ex- plained.,They just can't stay up in sn i lng nercn~ih vth'nnp1rhi1. The platform is designed like a paddlewheel and weighs a total of about 350 pounds. The payload will weigh only 100 pounds, but this should produce more than adequate results, Prof. Liller
