LXIII, No. 115 MATTER OF FACT: Higher Defense Outlaytudied By JOSEPH AND STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTON-The air defense program costing $16 to $20 billion, that is currently being considered by the President and the Na- tional Security Council has got to be regarded, unhappily, as only a beginning. The Administration has sought to muffle the issue, but it can now be revealed on highest authority that the National Security Coun- cil is also considering an additional civil defense program that may cost another $6 to $7 billion. THE RATIONALE OF both air defense and civil defense programs ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1953 FOURTEEN PAGES i SL Urges Rent Raise Consultation. Asks 'U' To Work With Residences Student Legislature last night backed up quadrangle leaders in their fight for student consulta- tion on room and board hikes with a resolution urging the adminis- tration to work with residence hall groups in deciding any future raise. Originator of the motion, Fred Hicks, '54, referred to a rent hike passed by the Residence Halls Board of Governors last week without student consultation. HICKS condemned the raise as "increasing the difficulty of ob- taining an opportunity for an education at the University." i All There WASHINGTON The government's vast horde of gold, silver and coin is "all there," Treasury officials said yester- day after a checkup. The tally of the world's big- gest accounts, totaling about 572 billion dollars, was made because of the change in ad- ministrations. . f Demands Discipliie i Jet Pilot Ace Russiar * * * City Defense For A-Bomb Undertaken By JANET FORD If an atom bomb were dropped' in the vicinity of Ann Arbor, the Washtenaw Council civil defense workers and the local American Red Cross chapter would go into action immediately.

He added that the -hospital. ir cooperation with other large hos- pitals in Washtenaw County, ha: extensive plans worked out on pap- er, but no real program is in op. eration now. The hospital official estimated that it would take from six to eight hours to activate the pro- gram as it stands at the preseni time. DR. MARGARET Bell, health service physician, said that ir case of an air attack, the Univer- sity health service could remobil- ize the two motor units that they had on hand during World War IL In addition to the two mobile uwits, health service could aid the community during an emergency air attack by offering the tunnel under the health service basement as a bomb shelter, said Dr. Bell. At the present time, the Wash- tenaw County civil defense pro- gram is also an extensive one only on paper, Fitzgerald said. Just the executives and administrators are aware of what their duties will be in case of an air attack, he added. The plan is not a reality now because of the lack of volun- teers in all phases of the pro- gram, he added. Citing the County ground ob- server corps as an example of this situation, Fitzgerald said that there were not enough volunteer workers to man one of the coun- ty's eight ground observer posts i full time.

Eisenhower Asks Delay In Tax Cuts WASHINGTON - (A) - Presi- dent Eisenhower said yesterday Congress may "reform" taxes but should withhold any tax cuts un- til a balanced federal budget is in sight. At the same time, the president predicted there will be some "com- plaint .'. . friction . . . trouble" now that all government wage- price controls have been scrapped. ADDRESSING a group of 150 business leaders, he said: "We must have the faith and courage to stand by our guns all the way through the capital and in the nation, so, possibily, just the plain workings of economic law will re-establish itself as a sound system for a country such as ours. !Certainly that is our. plan and hope." Eisenhower said he thought he could be fairly described as "mid- dle of the road" in his thinking, and declared he wants to avoid a one-sided economy w-eighted ei- ther in the direction of manage- ment or labor. "Let's not get too far to one side or the other," he said. On the subject of taxes, Eisen- hower again hit out at any sug- gestion of reducing taxes until the government can get away from red-ink spending. He emphasized the burden of some 80 billion dollars in obliga- tions inherited from past adminis- trations.

The Navy disclosed that two de- stroyers and a minesweeper emerged from two duels with Com- munist shore batteries along the Northeast Korean coast Tuesday with no material damage but three casualties from near misses. Chinese Communist troops stab- bed at eight points along the 155- mile front but were hurled back by Dutch, South Korean and U. S. troops. * * * MEANWHILE, in Tokyo Adlai Stevenson declared yesterday the cruel and "senseless" Korean War' would rage on without end so long; as the Chinese Communists "con- tinue to bleed and die for their Russian masters." After a five-day close-hand in- spection he said at a Seoul press conference he could not predict how long the fighting would last,I but thought that Asia will be a "major concern" of the United States for many years. He will call, on Emperor Hiro- hito today and take off that night for Formosa on the next legof his round-the-world trip.

Bundestag Set For Pact Vote BONN, Germany--(AP) - Chan- cellor Konrad Adenauer marshaled his forces confidently last night to seek a smashing vote of ap- proval in the Bundestag lower house for his twin treaties to re- arm West Germany in alliance with the free world against Com- munist aggression. The treaties come before the Bundestag today for their third and final reading. Adenauer has called for a thumping majority to "show the way" to the rest of free Europe. Sandweiss Essay Wins Recognition Leonard Sandweiss, '53, won an honorable mention award in the National Council of Jewish Wom- en's nationwide essay contest on "The Meaning of Academic Free-; dom," it was announced yesterday. Students from approximately 200 colleges competed for the $2,- 500 first prize which was won by Stanley A. Wolpert of New York City College. By HARRY LUNN Washtenaw County's dog pop- ulation is currently having its cen- sus taken by two University stu- dents. An annual project of the Sher- iff's Department, the unusual sur- vey is required by law to check on which county canines need licenses. Since a dog must be given a rabies shot to get a license, the census is also used to determine which dogs need shots. * * * CONDUCTING the door to door poll are Dieter Krause, '54, and Frank Wolowitz, Grad., who spend their afternoons on the survey. CBS Program To Broadcast OinUniversity A nation-wide television broad- cast of a phase of University life is being planned by the Columbia Broadcasting System. The program will be part of a series involving 21 colleges and universities. Called "The Search," the series is designed to dramatize higher education's cultural and scientific contributions to individ- ual and national welfare. THE UNIVERSITY'S part in the series, beginning in September, will be a program on the English Language Institute which is set up to teach foreign students Eng- lish in eight weeks. Director of the institute, Prof. Charles C. Fries, of the English department, said technical ad- visors from CBS are expected to visit the University in about two weeks to lay out material for the program. Arthur L. Brandon, Director of University Relations, is in New York to complete formal arrange- ments for the program. He said the University is pleased over the show which will allow millions to see the campus and the work of the institute. He described the world fa~mous. institute as contributing to "bet- ter foreign relations and interna- tional good will." Basic purpose of the series is to help viewers "adjust to an en- vironment currently dominated by the cold war and economic and psychological stress." Other instituitions taking hart In recording vital statistics of the local canine community, the pair have discovered local dog owners prefer spaniels with mongrels running second. A delicate problem arises in clas- sification of the latter group, Krause reported, since owners are loathe to see-their pets entered in the "mongrel" group. Honors for advanced age go so far to a 19-year-old dog whose advanced age is equivalent to that of a 133-year-old human, accord- ing to popular legend. * * A CERTAIN amount of occupa- tional trouble arises from bellicose dogs and owners who do not want to answer questions about their pets, the pollsters said. Menacing dogs are sometimes held off with brooms, and un- cooperative owners are warned that refusal to answer questions will result in a visit from sher- iff's officers, according to Wol- owitz. Usually these methods are ef- fective, he added, although last year one adamant citizen decided to stand on his constitutional rights and would not answer the routine queries until he received a personal call from a deputy sheriff. After -statistics are compiled, they are turned over to Deputy Donald J. Ruddick who checks on whether the dogs are properly li- censed, and sends out complaints to owners of unlicensed pooches. Seven Killed In Air Crash Reds Warned Against New Air Incidents UN Negotiations Asked by U.S. By The Associated Press The United States yesterday de- manded punishment for the Rus- sian flier who attacked an Amer- ican plane off Soviet Kamchatka Sunday. The note to Moscow said this country "expects" quick word on A-the disciplinary measures tak- en and B-steps by the Reds to make sure nothing of the sort happens again. THE AIR FORCE announced the incident Tuesday, reporting that two MIG 15 jet fighters inter- cepted the American B-50 bomber on a weather reconnaissance flight 25 miles off the coast of the Si- berian peninsula and about 100 miles northeast of the Soviet base at Petropavlovsk. One Jet stayed overhead, the Air Force said, but the other swooped down in a firing pass. The American tail gunner, fol- lowing the MIG with his sights but holding his fire until the attacker opened up with his guns, returned the fire. The )et broke off with no apparent dam- age to either craft, and the B-50 sped back to its Alaskan base. It was the first confirmed case of a two-way fight between Ameri- can and Red military plane out- side the war zone in Korea, though there have been Communist at- tacks on American craft in the European area which did not or could not shoot back. AND IN THE United Nations, the United States called on Soviet Prime Minister Georgi M. Malen- kov yesterday to show he really- wants peace by starting construc- tive negotiations on disarmament in the UN. The challenge was voiced by U. S. ambassador Ernest A. Gross in the 60-nation political committee. In a secret, down-to-earth meet- ing on the problem of a successor for Secretary General Trygve Lie, the big five powers went over a dozen possibilities without coming to an agreement. The answers to Gross' ques- tions on disarmament and to the riddle of the secretary geneml may have to await the arrival of Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet permanent delegate, March 26. He is coming fresh from talks with the new Moscow adminis- tration. Gross referred in his speech yes- terday to Malenkov's talk about peaceful settlement of all prob- lems made in his inaugural ad- dress to the Supreme Soviet in Moscow last Sunday.

The plan would replace the big Federal Security Agency with a new Cabinet-level Department of Health, Education and Wel- ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. -- (P) - A big 10-engine United States B36 bomber with 23 persons report- ed aboard crashed and burned on Newfoundland's isolated east coast yesterday. Early reports said seven bodies had been located. Woodsmen reached the scene after hearing the pre-dawn ex- plosion and later told of finding the unburned bodies scattered on the snow around the charred wreckage. There was no early in- dication as to the fate of the other 16 persons believed to have been in the plane. SL ELECTIONS: Quad Rules Limit Use Of Campaign Posters By VIRGINIA VOSS Though student election posters manage to make themselves omnipresent during campaign 'weeks, a maze of residence hall rules governing electioneering limit candidates' distribution of campaign literature. Heatedly debated in the Student Legislature meeting last night, quadrangle rules are drawn up by individual house councils. Regu- lations for women's residences have never been codified but usually allow unrestricted poster distribution with permission of a house official. IN THE QUADS, a total of 19 houses have come up with 11 dif- ferent rules on the campaign literature topic.
