Gage Answers Questions at Meeting;
Cabinet Presents Joint Platform
By DOROTHY MYERS
Student Legislature President Bob Neary, '54BAd., last night
broke a tie vote, thus sending the controversial questions of composi-
tion of a proposed anti-discrimination board and establishment of a
fair-play sticker campaign back to SL's Human Relations Committee
for further consideration.
Earlier in the meeting, Robert Gage, president of Ann Arbor's
senior Chamber of Commerce, appeared at the meeting and answered
legislators' questions concerning charges of conscious or unconscious
discrimination in the local Chamber of Commerce.
THE CHARGES had appeared in a 15-page brief presented to
SL last week by SL member Paul Dormont, '55. In the report Dormont
said it was "unusual that apparently no Negro has ever been. con-
" tacted for membership" by the
T*t TChamber of Commerce.

DETROIT - () --Two sur-

Government yesterday at the con-

Berry Cody, a Detroit laundryI
worker, and Harold M. Mikkel-
sen, an apprentice die forger, told
how they spied on the Communist

CODY HID his FBI connection
so skillfully that he attended a

free economy are ideals of our
democracy, but it is difficult to
realize these ideals with our pres-
ent government set-up," accord-
ing to George Meader, Ann Arbor
Congressman, who last night ad-
dressed the local League of Women
Voters.
Meader, in speaking on the
topic, "Spending Public Money-
How a -Congressman Decicds,"
stressed the fact that a Congress-
man cannot really decide how pub-
lic funds are to be spent, but can
merely tryto hold down the ex-
penses of "the countless bureau-
cracies in Washington."
ACCORDING TO Meader, Con-
gress often makes the wrong de-
cisions in granting appropriations,
not because the Congressman is
lax in his duties, but because he
hasn't the time to learn the details
of each bill put before Congress.
The solution, as Meader sees,
it, is not to organize more com-
mittees, because "there are al-
ready too many committees
which overlap other commit-
tees," but to get more people
working on these committees,
doing research for the Congress-
men.
He asserted that the reason

By DEBRA DURCHSLAG
The mental health movement has not progressed at a startling
rate, but it can claim some notable accomplishments.
In 1901, when public mental health was an afterthought to many
legislatures, Michigan became the first state to provide for a psycho- j
pathic hospital in connection with its state university. Opening in
1906 under the direction of Dr. Albert E. Barrett, that hospital today
is one of the outstanding institutions in the mental health field-the
