'Peace Quest'
U.S.-Indian Relations
Seen at New High;
All Problems Erased
NEW DELHI (P) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru held
private talks last night on a range
of pressing world problems.
Early today the President and
Nehru flew from New Delhi to
Agra to visit the Taj Mahal and
continue their discussions.
Met by long-waiting crowds,
Eisenhower and Nehru set off on
scheduled tours of an agricultural
center and a farming village near
the ancient city.
Last night's meeting came after
a dinner Eisenhower gave for
Nehru at the United States am-
bassador's residence. There was no
official announcement on the
ground covered, but reliable in-
formants said the talks centered
on issues ranging from India's
border troubles with Red China to
world disarmament.
Gives Tribute
The stage for their latest meet-
ing on this fourth day of Eisen-
. bower's visit to India was set by a
glowing tribute from Nehru to
Eisenhower's "pilgrimage in quest
of peace."
A United States official said the
three hours of discussions Eisen-
,hower and the leader of the
world's most populous democracy
have had previously were "exceed-
ingly cordial." He declared United
States-Indian relations at the
moment were at the highest peak
since India became independent.
M. C. Chagla, Indian ambassa-
dor to Washington, said Eisen-
hower's visit to India will open "a
new chapter in world history."
Ease Tensions
One major result of the Eisen-
hower - Nehru meetings so far
seems to be an easing of tension
betveen Pakistan and India-long
at loggerheads over boundaries,
water rights and the princely state
of Kashmir claimed by both na-
tions.
The Indians are reported to have
been assured that United States
military aid to Pakistan is granted
as an ally in the anti-Communist
SEATO pact and not a menace to
India.
This seemed implicit in Nehru's
repeated statements that there are
no problems between India and
the United States. /
Discussing his visit next year to
Moscow, Eisenhower is said to
have told Nehru he believes Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev is also
searching for a formula for an
insured peace.
To Issue Communique
A communique the two will issue
before Eisenhower's departure is
expected to dwell on the principle
of negotiation rather than force to
settle disputes. It also is expected
to declare that disarmament is the
only means of warding off the an-
nihilation of humanity.
The unprecedented outpouring
of affection for Eisenhower from
the masses the past three days was
S matched by 8,000 of New Delhi's
elite this afternoon. They nearly
mobbed the United States presi-
dent at a garden party given in his
honor by President Rajendra Pra-
About 100 Indian security men
and United States secret service
agents, shielding Eisenhower, al-

around the famous visitor.

Asia's Swing
To US. Side
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
Associated Press Foreign News Analyst
NEW DELHI (R -It took Com-
munist China to start the tide of
free Asia turning toward the
United States.,
But it took President Dwight D.
Eisenhower and the impact of his
personality to demonstrate dra-
matically that the tide is really
running strong in American favor
at this moment.
United States troubles are far
from over in Asia. But United
States fortunes are, enormously
improved since the time America's
motives were greeted with wide-
spread suspicion among nervous
governments struggling out of the
colonial era.
cAs Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru pointed out Friday, the
timing of Eisenhower's visit is
most important. Nehru hints at
this by referring constantly to the
visit "at this hour."
Cites. Timing
The reason for this insistent
reference to timing seems obvious.
Eisenhower's visit follows a series
of events which made the sub-
continent and the rest of south
and southeast Asia highly ner-
vous - the Communist Chinese
suffocation of Tibetan freedom,
truculent gestures against Bhu-
tan, Nepal and other border areas,
belligerent incursions into Indian
territory and even nastiness to
once friendly Indonesia.
But Nehru knows the Eisen-
hower visit somehow has got
across to the men in the street-
as well as to the educated public
-that India has a big and power-
ful friend ready to come to their
aid against the huge northern
neighbor apparently restless for
expansion.
Communists Watch
There is little question but that
the Communist Chinese are
watching closely what is going on
in New Delhi even though Eisen-
howerhhasravoided mentioning
Red China or the Communists by
name.
The Communist Chinese are
undoubtedly aware that the Eisen-
Isue s
hower trip is a means of serving
notice that India is far too im-
portant to be permitted to fall I
before Red conquest.
Up to the time of Communist a
thrusts from the north, India's
leadership had been unwilling to t
acknowledge it might need pro-
tection from the Red Chinese. lI

City Planning
By SUSAN FARRELL
Planning, someone once said, is intelligent cooperation with th
nevitable.
For Ann Arbor's city planners the question is what is inevitabl
nd what should be done about it.
Since the end of World War II, Ann Arbor has been faced witl
remendous growth which, from all indications, will continue.
The city has increased in area by 119 per cent since 1946. Popu
ation is expected to reach 90,000 (including students) by 1970. Th
ssessed valuation of city property is 56 per cent higher than it was
In 1946-approximately $100 million.
It is the function of the City Council, the Planning Commission
nd the city's administrative departments to recognize, encourage
nd guide this growth, Robert M. Leary, city planning director, said
Why is Ann Arbor growing?
Primarily because the University, the main economic base of th
ity, is constantly expanding.
State Support Determinant
There are, of course, different projections of growth for thf
University. And the first variable in any projection is the amount o:
tate support, which determines the capacity of the University ti
ccommodate students while maintaining high-quality instruction.
"But an average increase of 600 students each year to a total o:
2,000 is possible and foreseeable," John McKevitt, assistant to the
Jniversity vice-president in charge of business and finance, said.
"The most desirable level of enrollment is a matter of question,'
e added, "but 32,000 is an adequate basis for planning, although tho
ntensity of University operations is not based solely on enrollment.'
The University and the city naturally have many commor
nterests.
Maintenance and development of streets, sewers and other utilities
n the campus area is a basic concern. The rapidly increasing numbei
f married students has heightened joint city-University interest i
ousing facilities.
University, City Cooperate
The University has Worked with the city on a survey of traffi
.onditlons and offstreet parking, a matter of increasing concern tc
)th. And the projected boulevard from, the University to Nortl
ampus, which will benefit both the city and the University, necessi-
sates close cooperation.

Cyrus C. Sturgis of the medical

The association is presently

troit conference. However, Prof.
Sturgis was unable to attend the
meeting and arrangements were
made to present his award here..
The presentation to Prof. Sturgis
took place in his office in the
Simpson Memorial Institute. It
was made by Dr. Charley J. Smyth,
association president, yester day
morning.,
Prof. Sturgis first came to the

The invaders were seeking to
overthrow Stroessner's five-year-

The communique, issued by in-

pinpointed the attempted upris-
ing at Encarnacion, across the
river from Argentina.
It said several rebels were in-
jured and that a mopping up op-
eration was being carried out.
"The .civil population, and in
particular the Colorado Party
(Stroessner's ruling p o 1 i t i c a 1
group), is lending its fervent sup-

authorities," the communique said.
"They are proceeding with the
work of cleaning up, with inflex-

maximum severity the -criminal
intention.
