Sign Bases
Agreement
By The Associated Press
The United States and Franco
Spain yesterday signed a 20-year
defense agreement giving this
country the right to develop and"
use naval and air bases on Span-
ish soil in return for U. S. eco-
nomic, technical and military aid.
The historic action brought
Spain, long shunned by the victors
of World War II, into partnership
with the United States in the
West's defense against the danger
of Soviet attack.
* * *
IT WAS announced that aid
totaling .226 million dollars will
*- be supplied Spain under the mu-
tual security program in the
current fiscal year ending next
June 30.
Of this, 141 millions will go
for military equipment and the
rest for defense support, mean-
ing use in some way helping
the development of military
strength.
The Spanish bases offer a re-
serve position behind the for-
ward lines of Western European
defense, which are in Germany.
Spanish territory could provide a
kind of fallback zone if those for-
ward lines ever were forced to'
give way.
Ambassador James C. Dunn
and Spanish Foreign Minister
Alberto Marton Artajo also
signed economic assistance and
mutual defense agreements, the
latter spelling out the specific
conditions under which Spain
will receive military aid,
The agreements became effec-
tive upon signature. The main
defense agreement stated it would
be in effect "for. a period of 10
years, automatically extended for
two successive periods of six years"'
unless formally terminated ' by
either party.
The pacts are classed as execu-
tive agreements and so are not
subject to ratification by the U. S.
Senate.
POW's Claim
Allies Brutal
PANMUNJOM - (4P) - Indian
guardian troops today released to
the Communists 65 Chinese pris-
oners of war who changed their
minds about going home.
The 65, mostly officers, ,went
back to Communism in a shouting,
first-raising, banner-waving group.
They screamed out charges of Al-
lied brutality, forced tattooing and
torture.
In Allied hands they had been
classed as Communist agitators
even though on the surface they
once had declined repatriation
and decried the Reds.
Indian guards turned them over
to the Reds at this exchange point

Hurricane "Florence" isolated a
small port and scattered debris
along a 200-mile shoreline, before
a sudden cool front robbed the
storm of its punch.
* * .*
NO LIVES were lost. Only in-
juries reported as the storm passed
inland were minor ones in traffic
accidents, indirectly blamed on the
hurricane.
A 5 p.m. advisory from the
New Orleans weather bureau
located the center of the tropi-
cal disturbance near Dothan,
Ala. Highest winds were 40 to
50 miles per hour.
The storm was moving north-
east about 12 miles per hour and
heavy rain and high winds were
predicted for eastern Alabama and
most of Georgia. All warnings were
lowered, however.
While the storm left relatively
little damage as it roared across
the sparsely settled section of
northwest Florida, out in the Gulf
of Mexico the Costa Rican motor-
ship Westwind was reported in
great distress wallowing in heavy
seas off the Texas coast with a
broken rudder.
* * *
THE COAST GUARD at New
Orleans sent out a cutter and a
plane to rescue the crew.
With top winds reduced from
the 140-mile-an-hour blast it
contained at sea to about 90
miles per hour, the hurricane
center hit the mainland be-
tween Panama City, Fla. and Ft.
Walton, 47 miles west.
Howling northward, but fast di-
minishing, the storm blew into
southeast Alabama and southwest
Georgia yesterday afternoon.
Reports from the New Orleans
Weather Bureau warned small
craft to stay in port from New Or-
leans to Key West to avoid hurri-
cane tides even though the danger
from destructive winds was about
over.
Residents and military person-
nel living and stationed in the
vicinity where the hurricane gen-
erally hit agreed that Hurricane
"Florence" had been a flop.
Five Joint Judie
Vacancies Filled
Five women were named mem-
bers of joint judiciary yesterday
by the new judicial interviewing
committee approved by Regents in
a summer meeting.
Those chosen to fill year-long
terms are Lucy Landers, '55, Lee
Fiber, '54, and Jean Bromfield,
'55. Anne Schmitz, '54, and Sally
Stahl, '55, will fill one-semester
vacancies.
Members of the interviewing
council include president and vice-
president of Student Leglislature,
the League president and chair-
man of the League's interviewing
committee.

Michigan opened the 1953 football season on a resounding note
of triumph yesterday with an awesome 50-0' conquest of the Wash-
ington Huskies.
A small crowd of 51,233 saw the varsity roll to eight touchdovns
in a bewildering display of scoring power that completely outclassed
the Pacific Coast team.

NEW YORK - Former State

Acheson is expected to give his
first major speech since leaving

The editors were accompanied
on their tour yesterday by two

ted to take pictures at several spots
within the Kremlin walls and in-
side the Palace of the Supreme
Soviets.
"We asked to get into the Presi-
dium of the Supreme Soviet where
the officials were working," Hol-
lander said. "We told the guides
that in Washington tourists are
taken through the White House

there. They answered, 'That is the

Premier Malenkov was working
and the guides said they didn't
know.
The three goggled at the
jewels, robes and vestments ac-'

They trekked through the form-
er royal bedrooms where they
said they saw two emeralds "as

The touring journalists said they
did not see a single picture of Stal-
in or Malenkov inside the Kremlin
-only an immense granite statue
of Lenin inside the white alcove of
the Palace of the Supreme Soviets.
The trio is scheduled to travel
Tuesday to Kiev, the capital of
the Ukraine. They hope also to
visit a Ukranian collective farm.
They spent yesterday on a tour
of the big new Moscow University
buildings. Students there told
them it was the West that had
imposed the Iron Curtain.

all hopes of a Husky victory.
As far as the Westerners were 1
concerned this was the back-

Kress added a third Michigan

touchdowns after the intermis-

of Lederman's ill-aimed passes
and raced from the Washington
37 down to within five yards of
the goal. It took Kress only one
play, an off-tackle slant behind
perfect blocking, to score and make
the count 37-0 in Michigan's favor.

No invitation is required to visit

Al Fey, '54, co-chairman of rush-

are two important advantages that
a student will gain by participat-

"First," said Fey, "the student
will get a better overall picture of
the fraternity system during for-

chances for pledging are more
favorable this fall."

McHargue and Henry L. Bretton yesterday commented briefly on the
recent German elections. Prof. James P. Pollock, head of the Political
Science department, headed the trip.
Prof. Grace emphasized the difficulty of "holding the socialist
party together for four more years in an opposition role," after its
CONCERNING THE ISSUE of neo-nazism, Bretton observed that
"the German voter had an opportunity to vote for the neo-nazi party
and evidently did not choose to do so."
He said even parties to the right were unable to secure any
gains. hi fact, he' added, more than 70 per cent of the votes cast
were for the two democratic parties. the Social Democrats and the
Christian Democratic Union.
