At present Ann Arbor is competing with five other cities for the theatre's location. Rea and New York Director Tyrone Guthrie have stressed in previous visits here the importance of a close association W lness Takes Prof. Tracy AtAge 79 Prof. Emeritus John Evarts Tracy of the University law .school died Dec. 31, at the University Medical Center, after a two month illness. Professor Tracy, a native of Green Bay, Wis., practiced law for more than a quarter of a cen- tury in Michigan, New York City and Chicago before joining the University law school faculty in 1930 where he remained until his retirement in 1950. He was 79 years old at his death. As an internationally recognized authority on the application of law to medicine, Prof. Tracy wrote, "The Doctor as a Witness," which was published in 1957. He was noted for writing several other books about the legal profession. "Prof. Tracy had a rare gift for bringing the practicallities of law. into the classroom and into his personal consultations with students," Dean E. B. Stason of the Law School said. Prof. Tracy was Assistant Direc- tor of the United States Bureau of Exports during World War I. He also served on the Ann Arbor City Council, 1938-40. He was on the YMCA board of directors, was a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church, was active in Community Chest work and was a director and past president of the Ann Arbor Rotary Club. At the University he served on the Senate Committee for Univer- sity Affairs, the University Coun- cil, the Board in Control of In- tercollegiate Athletics and the board of directors of the Michi- gan Union. He married, Margaret Elliot of I Lowell, Mass, in 1933. She taught in the school of business adminis- tration until her husband's re- tirement. She survives her hus- band. Memorial Services were held on Jan. 3, at the First Presbyterian Church. Ihief Enters Fraternities. Thefts amounting to over $450 have been reported by two local fraternities. Sunday 'night an unknown burglar entered Phi Gamma Del- ta's house and the Alpha Tau Omega annex and made off with members' funds. Sixteen members of Phi Gamma 'of the theatre with a university, Prof. Kaplan disclosed. The earlier visits of Rea and Guthrie were of an exploratory nature, he continued, to find out if the interest here was enough to justify serious detailed discussion of a possible plan of operation.. Interest Exists "It is now clear that such inter- est does exist and explicit pro- posals are now under considera- tion," he revealed.C(The Ann Ar- bor Chamber of Commerce, the City Council and the City Plan- ning Commission have recently announced their support of the attempt to locate the theatre here.) ' Whether establishment of the theatre in Ann Arbor is possible, Prof. Kaplan continued, will de- pend in large measure on whether these proposals can be shaped to meet the requirements of the Uni- versity and those of Guthrie and his associates, Rea and Peter Zies- ler." Some important questions to be discussed tomorrow are 1) the lo- cation and financing of the theatre building and its use at times not required by the theatre company. 2) the relation of the dramatic productions to the educational program of the University. 3) the relation of the theatre adminis- tration to the University. 4) the operating budget of the theatre and plans for assuring that finan- cial needs are met on a continuing basis. To Meet City Leaders Rea will also meet tomorrow with several community leaders concerned with the theatre pro- ject at a luncheon in the Union. A formal steering committee for; the project will be established at this time; officers will be elected and specific plans for the project's promotion will be considered. Guthrie's and Rea's repertory plan for the theatre's operation3 is to present three different plays in succession within one week,! Prof. Kaplan related. Although. slightly more expen--E siv.' to operate, this plan has some important advantages, he noted. It would encourage attendance at the plays by visitors from great distances, and it would lead to better performances by the actors. "I consider the repertory plan, with all its ramifications, one of the most exciting aspects of the new theatre," Prof. Kaplan said. Ann Arbor could well become a national mecca for those seeking the greatest in theatre and other arts.'" "The theatre program, . along with the present magnificent of- ferings in music, the many special lectures, and other special events centered about the University, should attract many persons to Ann Arbor for extended visits." t1 4RtI w ii Apprehend Offenders By THOMAS HAYDEN Ann Arbor police have so far arrested 28 adults and one juven- ile for homosexual actions in -a seven-week crackdown through- out the city. Although the search is being carried on in local bars, taverns and non-University buildings, all 29 individuals have been caught in University-owned restrooms, De- tective Lt. George Stauch report- ed yesterday. Those arrested include a Uni- versity associate professor, 14 Uni- versity students, several Univer- sity employes, two former stu- dents, a former Ypsilanti area school teacher and several towns- people. Violate State Law All have been charged with gross indecencyebetween males or attempted gross indecency be- tween males, which violates a state statute. The faculty member is expected to resign. All students involved will be brought before a group of University officials, who will con- sider their cases individually. Lt. Stauch said the group ar- rested doesn't appear to be part of an organized ring of homo- *sexuals. Most of those arrested knew few or none of the other individuals involved, Stauch affirmed. Praises Officers Lt. Stauch praised the work of a trio of special plainclothes offi- cers who made the arrests. The officers reportedly lingered in campus restrooms, making verbal and written agreements with vari- ous individuals. The individulasI were later arrested.- Lt. Stauch commended the Uni-I versity for "cooperating very well" in the drive. University officials, however,I were cool. "We did not know about this search when it began< and were not consulted until veryI recently," one said.+ Remove Stall Doors He acknowledged that Univer- sity personnel had removed the doors from some restroom stalls on police request as a "deterrent" measure, however. William F. Delhey, first assist-1 ant prosecuting attorney, said his office has checked the facts of the cases, and feels "they will hold upl well in court." He indicated "entrapment," any process used by police to lure at suspect into a crime, was not in-f Expect ChargesP 'olved in any of the arrests. Some of the 29 are expected tot charge that police used illegalr "entrapment" methods in the ar-t rests, however. Aside from two who pleadeds guilty in circuit court and waived examination, all of the cases area either bound to circuit court orr still awaiting municipal court ex--C amination.f Work Rules Group To Settle Issue Under New Contract By PHILIP SHERMAN "The major result of the steel strike is the prominence given to the work-rules issues," Prof. Wil- liam Haber of the economics de- partment said last night. Under the new contract, the world rules question will be re- ferred to a joint committee for study under an impartial chair- man, with no changes to be made without mutual agreement; the companiesuhad asked for arbitra- tion in such matters. Prof. Dallas L. Jones of the business administration school said this capitulation by industry rep- resented a victory for the union, though not a complete one. He said both sides wanted a settlement and they found a way; they are apparently satisfied with the results. Might Affect Railways The settlement might have ef- fect on the much-discussed possi- bility of a railroad strike, he con- tinued. The brotherhoods are just as adamant as the steel union for no change in work rules and the steelworkers' position can give them added moral strength. Prof. Haber called the work rules issue the most important issue between labor and manage-i ment in the coming decade: "The real test of management- labor statesmanship will be de- velopment of agreements giving management a green light to make changes in work methods and to increase productivity. Must Ease Problem "At the same time," he added, "management must ease the prob- lem of manpower displacement through retraining and a sever- ance program. "If this develops out of the steel strike, the strike will not have been in vain," he concluded. Both Prof. Haber and Prof. Jones agreed there is now little likeli- hood of strike legislation in the coming session of Congress, though Prof. Haber added he thought fur- ther legislation is necessary. Use Pressure Prof. Jones said government pressure in strikes had been used before with some success; the pressure can help reach a settle- ment in a deadlock, he asserted. The companies had a fairly "form" attitude in their ation however, he pointed out. They did not give a great, deal away, and this may also be a pattern for future labor negotiations. Prof. Jones pointed to Roger M. Blough's statement last night that the settlement was only less1 inflationary as symbolic the indus- try attitude: the contract is better than any since World War II, but still not good. The settlement is not inflation-i ary, Prof. Jones concluded, if thef recent aluminum settlement, whichf called for about the same terms, is not. INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT-Industry negotiator R. Conrad Cooper and Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell confer on final form for the just-completed contract for the United Steelworkers. The workers got a pay boost and won a partial victory in the work- rules dispute that probably prompted the whole strike. AT RECENT MEETING:f IBonisteel, Doan Retire, oore byU' Regents By CAROL LEVENTEN The Board of Regents honored Roscoe 0. Bonisteel and Leland L Doan, the two ret-i4ng members, at their Dec. 18 meeting. The terms of Bonisteel and Doan, both Republicans, expired Jan. 1, when they were officially replaced by Frederick Matthaei and Wil- liam K. McInally, elected last spring to eight year terms. Bonisteel, an Ann Arbor attorney, has served as a Regent for 13 years. Originally appointed by Gov. Harry Kelly in 1946 to fill a vacancy on the Board resultingt_ WASHINGTON (A) - The worst steel labor battle in the nation's history ended yesterday on govrnment-recommend- ed terms - at a price the industry estimated will cost "well over on billion dollars." In making that estimate in a nationwide television ad- dress last night Chairman Roger M. Blough of United States Steel Corporation said the steel companies had no choice but to accept reluctantly. There appeared to be no immediate threat of a steel price boost. Blough issued a separate statement saying United States Steel proposes to "con- tinue the general level of its prices for the immediate fu- ture." But he said competitive and other factors might com- pel a change later. McDonald Speaks President David J. McDonald told 5,000 cheering members of the United Steelworkers Union at a Buffalo rally the final terms were 40 per cent better than the': companies' last offer. He said the new contract in cluded company-paid insurance, "the finest pensions of all Amen i can workers" and added up to "the greatest contract, the best conditions the steelworkers have ever enjoyed." McDonalddsaid he could not disclose details of the contract, VICE-PRESIDENT NIXON since this would be up to the gains prestige union's Wage Policy Committee when it meets in Washington to- day to act on the agreement. Ste However, McDonald said the steelworkers can know that "vic-je tory is theirs."

The Board adopted a resolution expressing "sincere gratitude" to Bonisteel for his "vision of the University's present eminence and potentialities for the future. He was cited for "genuine statesmanship" with reference to the policies and government of the University. Doan, president of the Dow Chemical Company and a resi- dent of Midland, was elected with Bonisteel in 1952 and, like his colleague, did not seek re-election last year. The resolution honoring him praised his "rare personal quali- ties" and "disciplined skill which he has exhibited in dealing with problems . . . confronting the Board. His professional experience has "accustomed him to view in broad terms economic and edu- cational developments," to sense policies demanded by changing circumstances "and visualize inf detail the procedure required for their realization. The addition of McInally, a Jackson banker and a Democrat, gives the Democrats a fifth vote on the eight-member Board; this is the first time in the Univer- sity's history that they have held a majority. Matthaei, an Ann Arbor manu- facturer; is a Republican. Post Given To Gomberg ByRegents The Board of Regents appointed Henry J. Gomberg director of the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Pro- ject, the University's research program in the peaceful uses of atomic energy, at their meeting Dec. 18. The appointment followed the acceptance of Vice-President for Research Ralph A. Sawyer's re- quest that he be replaced as Phoe- nix Project director. He was ap- pointed to the newly - created vice-presidency on Sept. 25, and has served since then as dean of the graduate school and Phoenix director as well. Gomberg has been assistant director of the project since 1951.; He will continue as chairman of the nuclear engineering depart- ment of the engineering school, the position to which he was ap- pointed in 1958. le joined the University faculty in 1941. Presents Two Papers Gomberg, at the invitation of Russia, presented two papers at the 1955 Geneva Conference on peacetime -Atomic Energy, the first international conference of its kind. In addition, he has served as chairman of the National Re- search Council Committee on Re- search Reactors, as technical ad- visor to the Fund for peacetime Atomic Development, Inc., and as consultant on the application of radiation and isotopic tracers. He received the University's Henry Russel Award in 1952, whicha is given to the faculty member whose work as a teacher or researcher is outstanding and holds unusual promise for the fu- ture. According to Sawyer, who was technical director on the 1946 Bi- kini Atom Bomb tests, the Phoenix Project is regarded as the lead- ing undertaking of its kind in the HAPPY HOLIDAYS: ;Officials Nab, 147 Bicycles Calls for Boost The agreement calls for a 40- cents an hour boost in pay and other benefits over a 30-month period running from now to July 1, 1962. It provides substantial insur- ance and other benefits imme- diately, plus seven-cent hourly pay boosts in late 1960 and late' 1961. The steelworkers now aver- age $3.11 hourly earnings. J Council Plans To Distribute Questionnaires, A report on questionnaires to be distributed to off-street park- ing lot users was presented to the City Council at its regular meet- ing last night. The questionnaires, which will be passed out Wednesday, are part of a City Council study to deter- mine the extent and use of the various City-owned parking lots. The study is being made by a committee headed by Fifth Ward Councilman Russell J. Burns. The questionnaire will ask where the lot-user began his trip, his main destination, the purpo'se str ii ur sL r JO LnJis ./ V y an increase in steel prices and a new upward spiral in the cost of living. Nixon Dominates Senate Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen (Ill.), said the steel agreement "should enhance the Vice-President's stature immedi- ately in the eyes of the country." But Sen. Vance Hartke (D-Ind.), called the praise for Nixon "a pretty obvious attempt to make political hay out of the public welfare." Discuss Legislation With the prospect of a renewed steel strike later this month, some senators and representatives had beeni talking in terms of new legis- lation to strengthen the emer- gency machinery of the Taft- Hartley law. Now, they disagree whether leg- islation will be needed, but many esmphasize the need to study the entire problem. Rep. Carroll D. Kearns (R-Pa.), senior Republican on the House Labor Committee, indicated this won't happen now. However, Rep. Robert P. Griffin (R-Mich.) wasn't ready to let the matter rest. f Despite the settlement, Con- gress hasa responsibility to study the problems presented by the steelstrike and to consider new legislation," Griffin who co-au- Even though owners were warned by a notice in The Daily, 147 bikes stored on campus racks were im- pounded during the Christmas re- cess by University officials.
