SUMMIT CONFERENCE DISCUSSED Y Seventieth Year of Editorial Freedom :43 a ti CLOUDY, RAIN High--45 Low-35 Cloudy with rain continuing throughout the day. See Page 4 VOL. LXX, No. 66 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1959 FIVE CENTS SIX PAGES Chamber of Commerce Backs Pro Theatre Plan Narrow House Mar Republican-Backed gins Tax Defeat Bills i By STEPHANIE ROUMELL Yesterday the Ann Arbor Cham- ber of Commerce endorsed the establishment of a. $1,500,000 pro- f essional theatre in Ann Arbor, becoming the first local organiza- tion to do so. The Chamber will cooperate In attempting to obtain the approval of New York's Tyrone Guthrie, director; Oliver Rey, producer; and Peter Zisler, production man- ager, to locate the theatre in Ann Arbor. The C of C backed up the pledge by authorizing its president, Law- rence J. Oimet, to sit on a steering committee that will work toward establishing the theatre here, and Oimet in turn named Charles A. Hoffman, C of C vice-president, a member of the committee. Last September producer Rey approached the Dramatic Arts Center about the possibility of locating here, and since then, the DAC, headed by Prof. Wilfred Kaplan of the mathematics de- partment, has adopted the role of coordinator of the project. And two weeks ago President Harlan Hatcher appointed Prof. William Haber of the economics department and Dean Earl V. Moore of the music school, to work with Prof. Kaplan to develop the steering committee. "Although many University people have taken part in discus- sions of the project," Prof. Kaplan said, "these appointments are the University's only formal connec- tion to the project thus far." Confident Ann Arbor is competing with San Francisco, Milwaukee, Min- neapolis, Cleveland and Boston for the theatre location, but William C. Bott, C of C manager said yes- terday he feels the three men favor Ann Arbor as the location of the theatre. The theatre is to be a non-profit organization, and Bott maintained that the other communities are ahead of us in that they have already shown and given evidence of financial support. The steering committee will be further developed at a meeting next Friday in the Union; area citizens invited by President Hat- cher will participate. Must Attract Sponsors The committee's main job is to build up a large sponsoring com- mittee for the theatre, Prof. Kap- lan said. "Ann Arbor's chances for the theatre are good," he continued, "but our success will depend on how much we can do; we must marshal interest in the project to show them that the whole region will support it and that we can raise the money to support it., It is essential that more people, like the Chamber of Commerce, endorse it, he maintained. The Chamber of Commerce reso- lution shows that the business people of Ann Arbor realize the theatre would be a tremendous asset to the community, Prof. Kap- lan said. More Exciting' "It would make Ann Arbor more exciting and attractive than it is already. More people would come to live here and new companies would establish headquarters in Ann Arbor." The theatre would benefit the University, he continued, by mak- ing Ann Arbor more appealing than it is already for faculty members. "Ann Arbor would be a good lo- cation for the theatre," he pointed out, because the New York trio are not looking for a big city. "They want to get out of New York and finda community with which the theatre can be identified-this is easier to accomplish in a small city." "And, at the same time, the theatre will need a large audience. Ann Arbor is close to Detroit and other populated areas." Guthrie, Rey and Zisler have set no specific date when the site will be determined, but their guess is sometime in February. Says Cause Of Inequality 'Not Industry Contrary to the popular notion, industrialization did not increase personal income inequalities in the United States, Prof. Robert Solow said last night in a lecture spon- sored by the economics depart- ment. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist gave figures which showed great strides to- wards a greater equality distribu- tion of income were made between 1939 and 1949. According to the old ideas of American economic progress the advances should never have been made. He said de Tocqueville's' and Bryce's comments that growth of manufacturing in America would bring increased maldistribution of income are contradicted by the great increases in the share of wage and salary earners in the total, national income. The biggest jump was made around the war years, when full employment following hard on the depression boosted the wage- salary share of the total economy; and these gains have been pre- served and even added to since, because of post-war prosperity. Also Prof. Solow said within the wage and salary area equality has increased. The tight labor market and in- creased job mobility-workers may change occupations more readily- have been prime contributors. The lowest income groups, though, have gained only about two per cent mainly because of aged; sick, colored and divorced people among them. However among these groups per capita income has gone up due to low income families limiting their size. IFC Denies Colony Bid The executive committee of In- terfraternity Council rejected last night an appeal by a group of Kappa Nu members to form a col- ony. Kappa Nu's Michigan chapter was expelled from campus in 1953, and the Council felt that since two colonies were already on cam- pus, there wa not sufficient need for another prospective fraternity in the system at the present time. Alpha Kappa Lambda and Tau Epsilon Phi, the two colonies now on campus, petitioned for recog- nition as active fraternities. AKL was advised to petition again in the spring, and TEP's request for a shortening of the one-year colonization period is slated for further consideration.

Strings broke, she grabbed, they fell. As the true gentleman walked on by in the spirit of Christmas, the woman bent over, picked up her bundles and left. REPRESENTATIVES MEET: Claim Athletic Control in Faculty Hands Hand ' FINISHED PRODUCT-Waiting to be poured into the glass, the wine has gone through an extensive process in which special grapes were picked at that certain moment, crushed with care, then allowed to mellow in wooden casks. The juice, well on its way to fermentation, is bottled and goes through another, hori- zontal, maturing period before reaching the consumers. Prof. Ray Explains Great ine Concept By HARRY PERLSTADT Great wines have an exquisite flavor and aroma which gives them an aesthetic quality, Prof. Peter M. Ray of the botany department said in a lecture on "Great Wines" yesterday. Although a great wine can only be recognized through sensitory education, there are vineyards in France known for their high quality wine. The grapes which make up great wines, pinot noir or black grapes and chardonnay or green grapes, need a steady temperature 10 B ac and much sunlight, and the area Creal Backs in which high quality grapes can be grown is therefore limited, he " said.

The policy-making f a c u l t y group, at an opening session-of the conference's winter parley, ruled that although the directors can vote on legislative matters, the faculty .still runs the show in the Big Ten. At a Nov. 1 meeting, faculty representatives Voted to give ath- letic directors an equal voice on legislative matters, meaning that 20 ballots would be cast instead of 10 on a particular issue. Faculty Vote Only Yesterday, however, the faculty group stipulated that substantive legislation would go under the White Resolution (for a 60-day institutional review period) only by faculty representative vote. Prof. Marcus Plant of the Uni- versity Law School and chairman of the faculty group, emphasized that the November meeting, held! without publicity, was in no way aimed at undercutting the prin- ciple of faculty control. "Our action today clarifies that principle," Prof. Plant said. "Con- trol still rests with the faculty." The matter which irked the athletic directors into seeking an equal vote with the 'faculty men was the Rose Bowl situation. A five-five standoff vote last May killed the Rose Bowl contract, but another five-five deadlock re- tained a conference clause permit- ting Rose Bowl competition on an individual school basis. Doesn't Pertain But, ironically, the new 20-vote set-up does not pertain to the Rose Bowl, still strictly a faculty matter. This will come up before the current meeting adjourns to- morrow. The faculty men also redefined faculty control of athletics at the institutional level. They agreed that "faculty con- trol is construed to be exercised where authority is vested in an institutional agency composed en- tirely of faculty members or - in which faculty members are in a majority." This made more specific a No- vember action which allotted in- Buymg Days This is to remind you there are seven of them left before Christmas exodus. stitutional control to a committee, board or council on which faculty1 men conceivably could be outvot- ed. Pdower Grab,' Rises Again' The issue of a "power struggle" between Western Conference ath- letic directors and faculties has flared up again. Tuesday, a week after Univer- sity Athletic Director H. O. "Fritz" Crisler dismissed power struggle {reports as without foundation,' Ohio State University's Faculty Council sanctioned rejection of, proposed changes in Big Ten rules. The OSU Athletic Board had' recommended the rejection in an earlier meeting. "Sports Illustrated" devoted sev-; eral pages to the rules changes,; under the headline "Who Controls Big Ten Football? The question burned white-hot again as ath- letic directors meeting in secret and irate faculties had at each other." Attributes Controversy Description The magazine article was ac- companied by a picture of Crisler, to whom the description of the controversy "Much ado about nothing," was attributed. , The OSU faculty council in- structed their faculty reprsenta- tive to the Western Conference, Prof. Wendell D. Postle, to oppose the rules changes to be put under the White Resolution as it existed prior to Nov. 1, because the changes are substantive. The actual changes, approved by Big Ten faculty representatives Nov. 1, would involve a redefinition of the relationships and duties of the faculty representatives and the athletic directors. Consider Changes Official The representatives consider the changes already official since they are not substantive. However, it was noted that if other Confer- ence members besides Ohio State protest the changes, the action may either be completely revoked or returned to the institutions for study before going into effect. Dr. Postle, who was chairman of the special committee which drafted the changes, said at Tues- day's meeting: "We simply tried to give the athletic directors more freedom in running their own show without sacrificing faculty control." Heighten Director's Power Although the changes advocated GOP Hopes For Support ..In New ,Vote Legislature Denies Senate's Program, House's Additions LANSING () - The House last night rejected - for the time be- ing at least - the $50 million tax plan based on nuisance levies vot- ed last week by the Senate. It also, turned down new House proposals. Since the margin of defeat on all six bills was narrow, Republi- can leaders said they were hope- ful of passing them all today. Rejected were all the proposals for new or increased taxes on telephone and telegraph bills, beer, tobacco products, liquor, traffic violations and corporations. The bills failed by from three to eight votes to meet the pas- sage requirement of 56 votes. Round Up Absentees Helped by state police, House members rounded up more than three dozen absentees for the ex- pected crucial showdown votes last night. Members poured in from cities across the state. Rep. Clyde F. Cooper (R-White Cloud) report- edly interrupted a vacation to catch a plane from Florida. Two Democrats - Dominic Jacobetti of Negaunee and Andrew Wisti of Hancock - flew down from the Upper Peninsula. House.Repblicans failed to get the eight Democratic votes needed to push through the revenue pro- gram based on a $34 million pack- age of nuisance taxes. Democrats, after a two-hour caucus, indicat- ed not more than half a dozen votes could be expected. Republicans Back Bills And in general, Republicans backed the bills and Democrats opposed them. House approval would have set the stage for possible windup of the 1959 legislature, the longest in state history. Even with Democratic help, however, Republicans would need to win backing from GOP col- leagues in the Senate for $16 mil- lion added to the original nui- sance tax levies approved by the upper chamber. Propose Temporary Increase The newest proposals call for a "temporary" one-mill increase in the four-mill corporation fran- chise fee, good for $13 million, and a two dollar fee for moving traffic violations, worth $2,400,000. Corporations, in effect, would lend the money to the state for one year and get it back through credits in 1961 and 1962. The Senate measures would add a penny to the five-cent per pack- age on cigarettes, levy a 20 per cent tax on other tobacco prod- ucts, jump the liquor excise tax by four per cent, double the $1.25 per barrel tax on beer and slap a three per cent use tax on tele- phone and telegraph bills. Official Sees Trip -to Moon In 10 Years WASHINGTON ()--Sending a man to the moon and back in an- other 10 years and dispatching manned expedition to Mars in the 1970s are the foreseeable goals df American space exploration, a spac agecy fficial said yester- day. John A. Johnson, general coun- sel of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, out- lined the future of space efforts in an address to the National Se- curity Industrial Association here. The development of vehicles which will equip man for lunar exploration will take until the end of the next decade, Johnson said.
