MERRY CHRISTMAS See Page 4 Sittzgzrn Seventieth Year of Editorial Freedom :43aii4. HAPPY NEW YEAR VOL. LXX, No. 72 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1959 FIVE CENTS EIGHT FAC I! I + Season's Greetings i Eisenhower Paris Visit Approaches Tour Nears Climax At Summit Meeting WITH EISENHOWER IN THE MEDITERRANEAN RI) - Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower steamed yesterday toward a cli- mactic point of his tour -- the Western summit meeting in Paris. He began work on summit pa- pers aboard the United States cruiser Des Moines a few hours after locking arms in friendship with Tunisia's pro-western Presi- dent Habib Bourguiba. During a visit of less than four hours in Tunisia, a hotbed of the Algerian independence movement, the President received a wild wel- come from about 200,000 men and women in long white robes and children in red gym suits. Rebellion Discussed The five-year Algerian rebellion and the economic distress of new- ly independent Tunisia were among subjects discussed by Eisenhower and Bourguiba during a two-hour amb chop breakfast in the-Tunisian president's Moor- ish palace. A joint communique said the two men felt "grave concern" over failure to end the Algerian war. Both endorsed President Charles de Gaulle's offer to let Algerians decide for themselves what kind of government they want. Bourguiba already has urged Al- gerian rebels, who use Tunis as their' capital, to negotiate on de Gaulle's offer. Terms of a cease fire have brought a deadlock. Bourguiba Tired Bourguiba, tired of the long war on his doorstep, was believed to have urged Eisenhower to try in- fluencing de Gaulle to hurry a settlement. The communique said, "The achievement of self-determination. by African and Asian peoples is one of the most important events of our times." White House Secretary James C. Hagerty said Bourguiba talked about the needs of his small and impoverished country, but did-not directly ask for more American aid. Tunisia is receiving about 40 million dollars from the United States this year.1 Tunisians Enthusiastic Tunisians greeted Eisenhower like a rich uncle who could make their life a lot happier. Because a tight schedule prevented the Pres- ident from going into Tunis, Tunis came to him. Thousands jour- neyed to La Marsa, 10 miles out-1 side the capital, by donkey, bi- cycle, bus, truck and afoot and stood shivering in the morning cold. The rotors of Eisenhower's heli- copter, which landed him from the Des Moines, beat down newly planted palm trees around a spe- cially built landing strip. "Yia hia (long live) Ike," the crowd shouted.

TRUSTEES CONCUR: Medical School at MSU Meets Deans Approval By NORMA SUE WOLFE If the $20 million medical center currently under investigation at Michigan State University is established, it will not conflict with the University's, two officials believe. The MSU board of trustees yesterday approved a proposal for the establishment of a center there and directed a faculty committee Ex-Teacher Continues D)iss ens ions BLOOMINGTON, Ind. R) - Jerome Ellison indicated yester- day he'll be coming up with more criticisms of college life although Indiana University is dropping him as a journalism teacher. "There are a lot of stories to do for the 'Post'," said Ellison, who said his contract is not be- ing renewed because of his con- troversial article in the "Saturday Evening Post" last March. The article contended there's too much horseplay on campuses and not enough study. Ellison said he'll have a second article ready for publication in January or February, criticizing educational practices in state uni- versities. , By JIM BENAGH Daily Sports Editor Upsets and surprises in the na- tional scene and a thing called spirit on the local front made 1959 a sports year to remember. To choose top stories out of such an eventful year is like counting stars in the sky, but a big Swede, some. Bums in California and Michigan's miraculous swimming team were an aid to any selector. The Swede, of course, is Inge- mar Johansson who gave boxing its biggest boost in post-Rocky Marciano days. Because he took the sport out of a recent "dark age" his heavyweight title win must be accorded 1959's big sports story. That's a big statement, too, es- pecially since the Los Angeles Dodgers-playing more like the old ,D_-oklyn B"ns-gave baseball fans one of their greatest spectator years. This upset must be ranked at least the second best event. Swimming Splashes Michigan swimming made the headline news on three major oc- casions-its NCAA championship runaway, the sad death of Diving Coach Bruce Harlan and the ap- point of Coach Gus Stager to head the United States Olympic team. The NCAA title drive has to be called the outstanding local hap- pening of the year because of the stunning sweep the team of cham- pions registered. Looking back at 1959, the year in ports can be told by its top events. In order, they were: 1) For the first time since Mar- ciano retired, managers let the fightersrdo the fighting. The pro- moters put down their gloves and the opened the ring to Floyd Pat- terson and unknown Johansson. Before that June 26 evening, Johansson was just regarded as another clown who was to boast to the press as did predecessors Pete Rademacher, Roy "Cut and Shoot" Harris and Brian London. It took only two rounds and two minutes, three seconds with Pat- terson and the Swede proved them all wrong. His right hand sprawled out the American in on- of the Seek Liquidation OfVeterans Fund Senate Package Ties Fund, Taxes: Entire Program Approval Required LANSING (M - The Republican-controlled Senate of the Michigan Legislature last night came up with two new pro- posals aimed at breaking the legislative deadlock over the state's financial crisis. It voted to put a proposition for a four per cent state sales tax on the statewide ballot in November of 1960. The vote was 27 to 2. Twenty-one Republicans and six Democrats joined to give the proposal passage vote. Since it involved a constitu- tional amendment, 23 votes i biggest blows in heavyweight his- tory. 2) Across the nation last Octo- ber, the people who populate base- ball parks and follow the game on television were wondering what was greatest about the Dodgers. Was it the way they played during the regular season, the way they won the rare National League playoff from the Braves or the way they outdid the White Sox in the World Series? All were comebacks for the ex- citing Dodgers who finished sev- enth last year. 3) While the transplanted Brooklynites gathered the head- lines for victories, their old cross- town rivals - the Yankees - got write-ups for their downfall, Baseball's greatest team over the past three decades hovered in the American League cellar for several weeks, then produced a mild comeback to finish third. Prosperity a Trademark 4) Growing prosperity was the trademark of mf.?or league base- ball and football all season long. And seeing the signs of the big money, the first serious bids in years were made by promoters to establish new leagues. 'The proposed Continental Base- ball League has its hopes higher than any group since the 1870's of breaking into "major league'" clas- sification. It hired well-known big- time operator Branch Rickey to do a lot of the leg work, knowing that he £ arely fails. The American Football League See TOP, Page 8 were needed for passage. In other action, the Senate agreed to Liquidate the Veterans Trust Fund and tie it to a 47-mil- lion-dollar package of taxes to bring the state treasury 87 mil- lion dollars in badly-needed cash. Key Measure The measures go to the House today. Republican and Democrat lead- ers in the House sent out- urgent calls for members to act today on the new revenue program. The. House is evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. The Veterans Trust Fund bill was the key measure in attempts to end the 11-months tax war in the Legislature. The House passed the bill last March but the Republican major- ity in the Senate has steadfastly refused to pass it. Republican and Democratic leaders in the House sent out urgent calls for members to assemble today to act on the new revenue program. Raise $40 Million The package, as it is -presently set up, would raise about $40 mil- lion dollars through immediate liquidation of the Trust Fund. A one mill increase in the corpora- tion franchise fee, also approved last night by the Senate, would raise another $13 million. Re- maining funds would come from a $34 million package of nuisance taxes which the Senate approved two weeks ago. Under the Senate plan every bill must pass or the. whole pack- age will be out. Senators plan every bill must pass or the whole package will be out. Senators pro- vided for the Trust Fund to be repaid over the next 11 years. Meanwhile, the state will con- tinue to pay $1,200,000 in veter- ans benefits, the amount the Trust Fund yields every year. Local Court Recent Rule Investigated DETROIT (A')-A senate com- mittee asked four Detroit federal judges yesterday to explain by what authority they invoked a rule to permit civil suits to be filed In secrecy. "This would seem to involve a denial of information," said Sen. Thomas Hennings (D-Mo), chair- man of a constitutional rights sub.- committee in Washington. "We are asking the four judges under what authority they have promulgated this gag rule.* At the same time Rep. Clare Hoffman (R-Mich.), a member of a House committee investigating governmental secrecy, called o fellow members to look into the case. Rule Investigated The chairman of' Hoffman's committee, Rep. John E. Moss, Jr. (D-Calif.), was in California and not immediately available for corn. ment. Hoffman said he thought the Rule "would be a good case" for his group to investigate. "I can see no excuse for cover- ing up court activities with such a rule," Hoffman said. "The people ar- -,titled to know." Chief Judge Theodore Levin de- fended the rule, saying the judges' were "simply formalizing what has alays been the inherent power of the cc -rt." Cites Court Rights He said United States district. courts have the right to make their own rules provided they don't conflict with the Constitution, fed- eral laws or rules or Supreme Court rulings. The rule was adopted yesterday when four of the six federal judges on the bench for Eastern Miohi- gan voted for it. Two other judges regularly assigned here did not, take part in the vote and said they did not consider the rule neces- sary. It would allow judges to keep civil suit filings secret when either party requests it. The Detroit News, in a front page editorial, said it would violate what it called the court's gag rule "as soon as we can find a way." The paper would invite contempt proceedings, the editorial said, be- cause the rule would "deny the people of Michigan information as to what is happening in the court they support." Regents Plan To Meet Today, The Board of Regents will meet at 9:30 a.m. today, when they will hear a report on the breakdown of $41,625,000 budget initiated from grants received since their last meeting. They will also hear reports on plant extension progress and the University Musical Society. Faculty and committee appoint- ments. leaves of absence. gifts. TV Teaching Seen Rising By The Associated Press Educational television facilities may soon be available at low cost to every school district in the state, the Michigan Citizens' Com mittee on Educational TV was told Wednesday. The possibility stems from the recent development of a short- range station transmitter which would cost about $6,000, reported by Franklin G. Bouwsma, execu- tive secretary of the Detroit Edu- cational Television Foundation. He said the transmitter would serve as a chep p substitute for closed-circuit networks and have a range ad' .uate to cover a school district, city or university campus. After .earing the report, the citizens' committee called for es- tablishment of an office ;.. the Department of Public Instruction to co-ordinate statewide educa- tional T7 developments. Mea:iwhile in Washington a rad4^-television educator said yes- terday that recent scandals in broadcasting may turn out to be a good thing for the industry. Harry Skornia, executive director of the National Association of -Gto continue with a more detailed study of the proposal. "Ultimately, there would not be conflict," Dean William Hubbard of the University medical school said. "I think, for the long range future, there is a need through- out the country for approximately 15 new medical schools. Sees Need s "I think ultimately there will t be a, need in the state for another e medical school," he continued. "The question is one of timing." s Dean W. W. Armistead of MSU's veterinary medical college also be- lieves there would be no conflict - between the two centers. "First, studies from outside sources show we need an addi- . tional medical school in the state," he said. "Second, our proposed center would approach the study of medicine in a different manner from the University's." "I presume MSU's center would start off with most of the em- phasis on teaching and probably research aspects would develop as we went along;" Dean Armistead continued. "We would hope to de- velop medical scientists with broad interests, rather than a high per- centage of narrow specialists." To Stress Teaching As a member of the group which brought the preliminary proposal rfor the center's establishment be-, fore the MSU board of trustees, Dean Armistead reported the board seems "favorably inclined." In arenting the nnAo a. DIAG, ANGELL HALL: Carols, Folksinging Celebrat Lindstrom Lauds Pdress As .bulwark of Language The press is the last bulwark of the English language, Prof. Carl E. Lindstrom of the journalism department declared last night. Prof Lindstrom, former executive editor of the Hartford, Conn., "Times," spoke at a meeting of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism fraternity. "There are no more valiant battlers for the best written English than the journalism schools and the newspapers of America. It is "true that they have their mo- ments of weakness and that ex- amples of poor writing are not hard to find, but at least they are in there fighting," Lindstrom e Season maintained. Educators are as entitled to their jargon as other specialists, Lindstrom said, but they are at fault when they bend words to new uses which they think they have invented, and turn their backs upon excellent, sharp-edged words. "Psychologists are the worst of- fenders," Lindstrom stated. "Their textbooks are peppered with words such as conceptualize and privati- zation, just as businessmen will 'finalize!' " Psychologists are not the only guilty ones, Lindstrom continued. Teachers Offend "Scientists, historians, engineers Music filled the Diag and Angell Hall last night. Rosy - cheeked crowds with steaming breaths congregated in front of the General Library for the annual all-campus Christmas concert. Led by a Santa Claus with a Volkswagoi sleigh and a green bookbag pack, the program fea- tured the Jordan House choir, the Pserfs from the Lawyers Club, the University Men's Glee Club and the Friars doing selections ranging from "Flamin' Mamie" to "Deck the Halls."
