Anticipated for over a month, the rent hike is expected to affect 5,000 dormitory residents.

Chairman Reed (R-N.Y.) of the tax-writing ways and means com- mittee threw that challenge to his party in proclaiming "I have not surrendered to anyone in the tax reduction battle." He renewed an indirect charge that President Eisenhower and other GOP leaders are betraying campaign pledges by opposing early tax cuts. * * * THE 77-YEAR-OLD New York- er said he is confident House lead- ers will bring to the floor "in the very near future" his bill to chop personal income tax rates 10 per, Malenkov Gives Up Post As New Party Secretary by Francis C.

The Tito Suggests Red Nations EscapeOrbit LONDON-OP)-Marshal Tito's foreign secretary said yesterday that Soviet satellites had been shaken by Stalin's death and sug- gested they follow Yugoslavia out{ of the Kremlin orbit.I The secretary, Col. Gen. Koca Popovic, told 300 newsmen Stalin's' death dealt a blow to the internal stability of Russia as well as the East European satellites, and add- ed, "the example of Yugoslavia may be very instructive to the satellite states. They must be shown there is a genuine alterna- tive." * * * TITO LED Yugoslavia out of the Soviet orbit in 1948 after a row over the rights of smaller states in the Red camp. Popovic's conference marked the last full day of the Com- munist President's history-mak- ing visit to Britain and coin- cided with a Supply Ministry announcement Britain will build about a million dollars worth of helicopters for Yugoslavia on an "off-shore" order from the Unit- ed States Air Forces in Europe. Tito told newsmen last night at a reception he was "very satisfied with the result of my visit. In fact I regard it as even better than I could have hoped when I first received Mr. Churchill's invita- tion to come to London." The British Foreign Office is-1 sued a communique on the Tito visit which was similar to the re- marks made by Popovic. resident halls Board of Governors approved the hike last week and the Regents okay was the final step in its passage.

Malenkov, head of the Soviet government, has resigned his post as secretary of the Cen- tral Committee of the Soviet Un- ion Communist Party, it was an- nounced yesterday. Malenkov thus will be able from now on to devote his full time to his position as prime minister. * * * N. S. KHRUSHCHEV, 58, a fast rising Ukrainian Soviet politician, appeared to have stepped into the old job of his boss. The job is leadership of the powerful Central Committee of the Soviet Union Communist party. The Moscow radio re- ported the committee met in plenary session March 14 "to accede to the request of the chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers prime Ministers; G. M. Malenkov for his release from duties as secretary of the Central Committee of the Com- munist party of the Soviet Union."

' The rent increase amounts to a 22 cent per day rise and in- creases the cost of a double room since 1946 by 41.8 percent. Leonard A. Schaadt, Business Manager of Resident Halls, said "the hike had been thought about as far back as three months ago and will affect all men and wom- en resident halls except Fletcher Hall." * * * . QUAD LEADERS protested vig- orously when they first heard of the proposed rise from Shiel. They claimed that residents are never consulted when hikes are planned and used a similar increase last year as an example. Just when House leaders planned to clear the Reed bill was becloud- ed. Chairman Taber (R-N.Y.) of the appropriations committee said yesterday it will be late May be- fore the defense spending bill is ready for the House and June be- fore foreign aid appropriations are ready for action. That could indicate a similar de- lay for Reed's bill, to allow time for the new budget to take shape before taxes are considered. The Eisenhower administration, how- ever, has promised to give Taft by May 1 an estimate of next year's spending level. REED, A House member for 34 years, had threatened to use a special prerogative as ways and means chairman to force his bill to the floor over the heads of the rules committee and House lead- ers.

"There are many vital reasons for some additional taxation," Prof. Musgrave pointed out, "'or example there isn't enough money to pay teachers' salaries." ed at allowing the state to meet this year's obligations and, if pos- sible, wipe out the existing defi- cit. Sen. Robert E. Faulkner pro- posed a 3% flat rate on incomes with $600 exemption for each tax- payer, the plan to go in effect July 1. At the same time Sen. Faulkner is in favor of letting sales taxes expire in November. Lewis Chirstman's proposal was for a 1% income tax with exemptions based on the federal income tax plan. progressive, sales taxes are regres- sive," he explained. Consequently, Prof. Musgrave described the income tax pro- possal as "an excellent compro- mise to meet the present emer- gency." However, Prof. Daniel McHargue of the political science department estimated the chances of an in- come tax being passed in-Michigan as "not too good." He said if the bill got through the legislature it would probably be vetoed by Go ;. Williams, whose policy has been "no more taxes on consumers." I 3 I Khrushchev has the reputation in Moscow as being a firm, strong man. He already is a member of the ruling Presidium of the Su- preme Soviet. MALENKOV used the job of secretary of the Central Commit- tee as a stepping stone to the pre- miership which he took over .fol- lowing the death of Joseph Stalin. The other four members of the new five man Secretariat listed in order were identified as Mikhail Suslov, Peter Pospelov, Nikolai Shatalin and Semyon Ignative. In 1947 Khruschev was named as Ukrainian Communist Party secretary after having served sev- eral years as premier of that re- public. Khrushchev had previously serv- ed as secretary of the Party in 1949 but was dropped from the position when the Communist machinery underwent a major shake-up.

George N. Higgins (R-Ferndale), one of the legislature's key tax men, yes- terday proposed a package of rev- enue measures designed to produce $31,500,000 a year. Higgins' proposals stemmed' from recommendations of the Princeton University survey made for the legislative tax study com- mittee, of which he is chairman. THE SIMILARITY with the Princeton plan extended to putting a 1955 expiration date on the new tax measures with the idea that legislature can adopt long-range fiscal reforms in the interim. Higgins proposes: $19,000,000 from a 25 per cent incdease in the corpora- tion profits tax; $9,000,000 from a 10 cents a barrel levy on crude oil inort- ed into Michigan via pipelines; $4,000,000 from a 75-cents-a- barrel increase in the beer tax; $7,000,000 from a five per cent increase in the state liquor price markup; $2,500,000 from a three per cent service tax on hotel rooms, motels and tourist accommoda- tions. Higgins said he would file later' a bill to increase the state's reve- nue from horse racing. Hundreds of bills flooded into the House and Senate as the dead- line approached for the introduc- tion of all but tax and appropria- tion measures. Under an extension * * * .

Col. Arthur A. Holmes, state selective director, said yesterday. The age limit for physicians will be raised two years to 38 to meet that call, but raising the dentist age limit five years to 41 will only produce four eligible dentists, Holmes said. Eight physicians will be called by Washtenaw boards 85 and three each by Wayne boards 94 and 99. Two physicians each will be drafted by Genesee board 2, Len- awee, Oakland board 66 and Wayne boards 93, 95, and 102. The following boards will sup- ply one physician each: Calhoun Board 13, Calhoun board 217, Ge- nesee board 25, Jackson. Washte- naw board 341, Kent board 43, Oakland board 65 Van Buren, and Wayne boards, 87, 88, 98 and 100. Washtenaw board 85 will be called on for four dentists and Wayne board 98 for three.
