This action apparently ended, at least for this year, efforts to amend the Constitution. Coming after a Sehate battle lasting since Jan. 20, the result was considered a victory for Pres- ident Eisenhower. THE PROPOSAL before the Senate, offered by Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) needed a two- thirds majority,for passage. The 60 to 31 vote in favor of it meant that it fell short of the required margin by the slimmest of mar- gins Constitutional amendments can be adopted only by two- thirds vote of both houses and ratificiation by three-fourths of the states. The House has not acted. With the count standing at 60- 30, which would have given the Senate's approval to the proposal, Sen. Harley M. Kilgore (D-W.Va.Y arrived dramatically late to cast } the deciding ballot against it. In a last minute development, Sen. William Knowland of Cali- fornia, the Republican-floor lead- er, had announced that he would vote for ,the George amendment, but ths was not enough to swing the tide for it. THE GEORGE proposal- now -d~ead along with all the others-.! - would have nullified provisions of treaties and other international agreementsnwhich conflict with the Constitution. It also would have provided that international agreements other than treaties could be- come effective as internal law only by act of Congress. Previously the Senate had vot- ed 61-30 to substitute George's proposal for another,,.sponsored by Knowland and other Republican leaders, which had White House support. Overriding their own leaders, 30 Republicans joined with 31 Dem- ocrats to sidetrack the White House-approved m e a su r e and make George's version the pending issue before the Senate.

By DOROTHY MYERS v Two Middle Eastern govern- ments were wavering on brand- new feet yesterday, as Lt. Co3. Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and two separate revolutionary forces in Syria -tried to assure themselves of continued control in their re- spective counrties. Ousted in the revolts were two military dictators-Gen. Mohamed Naguib of Egypt, and President Adib Shishekly of Syria. * * * PROF. Marbury N. Efimenco of the political science department said the revolt in Egypt could have one of two possible causes. "It night have been caused either by disagreement between the more Em loyment 'Holds Own' In Ann Arbor Unemployment High In Ypsilanti Area By LEE MARKS conservative Gen.

"It is doubtful if agreement on the Suez Canal Zone, long a controversial issue between Bri- tain and Egypt, will be reached under Nasser's rule as soon as it would under the more conserva- tive Naguib," he said. Whether Egypt can or will re- store constitutional government and continue reforms under the new rule is also a crucial issue, ac- cording to Prof. Efimenco. Naguib, he explained, had set up a military dictatorship for only a three-year period. "At the end of this three years, in 194&6, the present method of government must be re-assessed to determine whether civil govern- ment will be restored." * *' * IN SYRIA, President Shishekly came into power through a coup d'etat in 1949 and assumed com- plete authority by 1951. After 1953 Shishelty became President and declared he would act constitu- tionally. "In fact, however, he kept all his former power and remained a military dictator, unable or un- willing to return to civil govern- ment, Prof. Efimenco noted. "At present there seem to be two separate revolts in Syria- one in Damascus, the other in Aleppo," he explained. The Ale- ppo revolvt is led by the very powerful semi-feudal Druz fam- ily from Southern Syria and many of Shishekly's personal political enemies who had been exiled to Bierut. The Damascus revolt is led by Army dissidents. "The old feudal clique favors civilian government and would probably restore to power the elder politicians who ruled Syria be- tween 1946 and 1949. If this feu- dal clique emerges as the victor of the two Revolutionary factions," he explained, "the whole trend of reform may have failed in Syria." r -- (CTICS 'Investigation Group Rules Questioned McCarthy Denies Stevens' Charge WASHINGTON - () - Senate Republicans, meeting amid a storm over Sen. Joseph McCar- thy's methods, ordered a checkup yesterday to see whether the rules for Senate investigations should be changed. McCarthy, declaring he would press on with his probes, said "Witnesses in the future will have the same consideration as in the past." S * * HE SAID he would go right on exposing "dishonesty, corruption and Communism." At another point in a news conferenc, he said: "I don't subscribe to the idea that if your own party is being embarassed-lay off." It was a charge by Secretary of the Army Stevens that McCarthy has abused and brow-beaten a general which set off the newest controversy over McCarthy's meth- ods. .Stevens at first had seemed headed for a televised showdown with McCarthy, who denied any abuse. This was called off after Stevens, McCarthy and other members of McCarthy's Investi- gating subcommittee reached an accord, which was generally re- garded as a surrender by Stevens. Aroused by this interpretation. Stevens Thursday issued a statement that he would "never accede" to humiliation of Ar- my men. President Eisenhower backed Stevens "100 per cent." It was the Senate Republican Policy Committee, headed by Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.), which ordered. a survey of the rules with a view to a possible overhauling.. This development clearly was a direct outgrowth of the McCarthy- Stevens feud.

Although Ypsilanti and other COMBAT DELITNOUENC RUSHEES CONSIDERED: Effects Of Fall Rushing Discussed (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec- ond in a series of articles dealing with the problems. of fall versus spring sorority rushing.) By GENE HARTWIG Arguments against fall sorority rushing weigh most heavily on the effect of the fall session on the rushee herself. Opposition to the first semester rush period is by no means limit- ed to independents but finds some of its strongest support among sor- ority women who have seen both spring and fall rushing programs in operation. * * * Others argue that fall rushing' allows too many women to go into a sorority without having a chance to adequately evaluate dormitory living. Proponents of the fall rushing plan point out that it "takes the emphasis off the idea of making a sorority" which may build up dur- ing a semester, based on impres- sions the freshman may receive of various campus houses. * ' * * IT IS ALSO argued that through first semester pledging the soror- ity can give the freshman added men, whether they rushed and pledged or not, was the same-2.2, the Panhellenic fall i',shing eval- uation report shows that the final average for women who pledged (this includes upperclassmen as well as freshmen) stood at 2.24 as against 2.37 for those who 'did not rush and 2.39 for those who rushed but did not pledge. Opponents of fall rushing are quick to point out" that this 2.24 average of first semester pledges is well below the 2.64 all-sorority average.- On the other side those favor- neighboring communities have been hard hit by severe unemploy- ment, Ann Arbor is "holding its own," according to Rex Notting- ham of the Ann Arbor branch of the Michigan Security Commis- sion. "We're a little higher than last year at this time but there's been a back-to-work trend and we are not too bad off," Nottingham pointed out. There are, in Ann Arbor, roughly 1500 people now drawing unemployment insurance. * * * WHILE .NO figures were avail-t able on unemployment in Ypsi- lanti, Earl Potter, head of their1 employment bureau, indicated thatI they were faced with a severe prob- lem.

Juvenile Recreation, (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last article in a series discussing juve- nile delinquency in Ann Arbor.) By PAT ROELOFS' "Ann Arborites can be commended for the progress they are making in combating juvenile delinquency." This was the comment made by a local observer recently while observing youth programs sponsored by private and public organiza- tions. Major recreation projects and service projects are supervised by churches, schools, the Civic Forum Group, YMCA, Dunbar Com- munity Center and the police department.
