Pace 79-61 Win
By PAUL GREENBERG
Associate Sports Editor
Michigan's sinking basketball
t hopes finally hit rock bottom last
night as the Wolverines dropped
et4 into the Big Teni basement after
absorbing a 79-61 home court loss
to Illinois.
The Wolverines had one fair
quarter last night-but the Illini
had three real good ones and
Michigan's first half threat dis--
intergrated in the face of a solid
scoring barrage on the part of the
> visitors. The loss, combined with
?u'rdue's 71-66 win over Wiscoh-
sin earned for Michigan the rath-
er dubious distinction of securing
sole possession of the conference
cellar.
COACH HARRY Combes of Il-
linois saw his team fall behind in
the sloppily played first period and
he was forced to go to his bench
for a solution. The two substitutes
that Combes called on were for-
ward Max Hooper and guard Bill
Ridley.'
Hooper and Ridley played the
rest of the way and paced the
Illini to their sixth straight Big
Ten win, leaving them a half
game behind second place Iowa.
The pair scored 26 points be-
tween them and Hooper's fine
rebounding and Ridley's brilli-
ant floor game provided vital
boosts to the visiting club's win-
ning effort.
Actually, Illini star John Kerr
drew individual scoring honors for
the evening with 22 points. But
Kerr, chosen on the third AP All-
American team, and second only
to Don Schlundt of Indiana in Big
Ten scoring had one of his poorer
evenings.
PLAYING lethargic ball through
the first three periods, the 6-9 se-
nior hit with three layups in the
waning minutes to achieve his
final point total.
Michigan led at the end of the
first quarter 18-14 but fell be-
T e W ol e second period.
contention until well. into the
r. third quarter, trailing 45-43 in
the waning minutes of the third
stanza before Illinois got red hot
and poured through eight points
in a row.
From here on in, Michigan kept
falling behind as the Ilini built
up their second holf shooting per-,
centage to a solid 39.7 per cent.
Personal fouls took their toll of
the Wolverines both Paul Groff-
sky and Jim Barron retiring to
the sidelines well before the end
of the game. Groffsky, assigned
to guard Kerr in the pivot, left
with only 45 seconds gone in
the third period.
Barron said his farewell with
seven minutes and 20 seconds re-
maining in the contest. The Chi-
cago sophomore had one of his
poorer nights, scoring only eight
points and playing a ragged floor
game.

Nasser To Keep Prime Minister
Post After Egypt Coup Failure
CAIRO, Egypt-(AP)-The threat of a revolt in army ranks forced
Egypt's young military rulers last night to restore popular Gen.
Mohamed Naguib to the presidency.
An army spokesman said Lt. Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser, who engi-
neered Naguib's ouster on Thursday, would be Prime Minister. Before
Thursday Naguib held both posts.
AN OFFICIAL announcement broadcast to Egypt's millions said'
the decision was taken to "preserve the unity of the nation."

WASHINGTON--Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt said yesterday that
Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.) is dan-
gerous to America "because he is
creating fear throughout the coun-
try without any e{nlightenment."
But even before the radio
spread the word, thousands of
cheering Egyptians gathered be-
fore Naguib's house in a Cairo
suburb. There the smiling gen-
eral, under house arrest since
Thursday, slipped.a brown bath-
robe over his pajamas and wav-
ed to his people from the ter-
race.
In the streets of Cairo, where a
few hours before armed police and
soldiers stood guard to prevent
possible rioting, scores of im-
promptu parades started, with the
enthusiastic crowds shouting such
slogans as "God save Naguib!"
and "No revolution without Na-
guib."
* * *
TEARS OF JOY ran down Na-G
guib's cheeks as he told a reporter
"we must all sacrifice ourselves
for the sake of Egypt. This dis-
sension is a tempest in a teapot."
Naguib, 53 years old, wore his ma-
jor general's uniform as he waited
to be called before a meeting of
the 11 - member Revolutionary
Council.
The communique broadcast to
20 million Egyptians said: "The
Revolutionary Council announc-
ed that to preserve the unity of
the nation the council decided to
restore Gen. Naguib as President
of Egypt and Gen. Naguib has
accepted."
This council of young military
leaders announced early Thursday
that Naguib had been removed as
president and premier because he
wanted to assume the powers of a
dictator.
The bitter split within the coun-
cil leaked to the public Saturday
morning as 36-year-old Nasser
moved up tanks and field guns to
guard army headquarters.
For hours the 11 young officers
argued, then finally decided to
back down and restore Naguib as
chief of state in the interest of
Egyptian unity.

Navy Officers
To Interview
Beginning tomorrow, three Na-
val procurement officers will be at
the Union for three days to inter-
view students interested in joining
either the Naval Cadet or Naval
Officer Candidate programs.
Opened to single men between
the ages of 18 and 25 who have
completed at least 60 hours at
the University, the Naval Cadet
program consists of a one-year
training period, whereupon a ca-
det will be commissioned as an
ensign in the Navy or second-lieu-
tenant in the Marine Corp. He
will then complete two years in
active duty after which he will re-
ceive a commission in the reserve.
The Naval Officer Candidate
program is offered to college grad-
uates within the age group of 19
through 27. A candidate after
completing a four-month training
period will be commissioned for
three years of active duty at the
end of which he will serve as a re-
serve officer.

Purposes of Red Cross
"Join and Serve."
Delegates from every University housing unit will be on hand to
attend a Red Cross sponsored meeting which will mark the opening
of the organization's annual fund raising drive on campus.
Designed to perform a mainly informative function, the meet-
ing will stress service functions of the Red Cross, placing especial
emphasis on those performed fors -
service men. . .
ACCORDING TO Jim Riecker,
'54, campus head of the drive, "too
many students go straight into the1
army from here without any idea
of services the Red Cross can of-j
fer them." This year, he said,. "we
want to straighten this out as
much as we can."
Representatives to the meet-
ing, which 'is scheduled for
March 15 will be house chairmen
for the drive, and means and
methods of collecting funds willj
be strictly up to them Riecker
insisted.
Because outside solicitors cannot
come into University residences
each house will be asked to make
its own plan, and then will be
given supplies and as much out-
side assistance as needed to carry
these plans through.
"FUND RAISING will be an in-
dividual thing and each house will
decide how to contribute," Riecker
said.
At the meeting an official Red
Cross representative will speak.
He will discuss the organization
and advance some suggestions
concerning methods of conduct-
ing the drive.
A movie covering recent Red
Cross -activity will also be shown.
In it will be included scenes of the
Flint disaster, service activities
conducted for the armed forces in
Korea and work done in the Kan-
sas-Missouri flood areas.

Entry blanks are now available
at the Union for the 1954 Union
Opera Script Contest, which is
open to all male students and
which is designed to pick scenar-
ios for development and consider-
ation as complete scripts for the
1954 Union Opera.
Mimes President Harry Blum,
'54BAd, has encouraged all those
interested in creative writing and
in testing their ability publicly to
enter a scenario in the contest.
All entries must be turned in at
the main desk of the Union by 6
p.m., March 25. The first judging,
will be completed by April 1, and
contestants will be notified of the
results individually.
The judging committee will con-
sist of four faculty members, the
General Chairman of Union Opera,
ahd Blum, Mimes President.
Scenarios should consist of a
narrative summary of the pros-
pective musical comedy, including
an outline of musical numbers and
production suggestions.
Blum emphasized that, in writ-
ing a scenario, production ar-
rangements, the types of audiences
before which the Opera will ap-
pear, and the fact that it is to be
an all-male musical comedy.should
be taken into consideration.
The writer whose script finally
emerges as the official script of
the 1954 Opera will have a hand
in producing the show, an oppor-
tunity to make an all-expenses-
paid nine-city tour with the Opera,
and valuable experience in show
business, besides the usual campus
and literary honors accompany-

'To Temper
Investigation
Proceedings
President Offers
Four-Point Plan
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-President Eis-
enhower was reported on high
authority yesterday to have sent
word to his Senate lieutenants
that he wants investigations con-
ducted by Sen. McCarthy (R-
Wis.) manned at all times by
other Republicans as well.
A top administration official is
known to have urged Sens. Mundt
(R-S.D.), Dirksen (R-Ill.) and
Potter (R-Mich.) to drop other
duties and be on hand when Mc-
Carthy questions witnesses in his
continuing Communist-in-govern-
ment inquiries. Along with Mc-
Carthy, those three are the GOP
members of the Senate Investiga-
tions sub-committee.
THE CLEAR implication was
that they should be on hand-as
they often have not been in the
past-to temper proceedings.
This proposed GOP check on
the Wisconsin senator's activi-
ties is an offshoot of an unoffi-
cial four-point program said to
have been outlined by White
House aides-and approved by
Eisenhower-to prevent a repe-
tition of the clash growing out
of charges by Secretary of the
Army Stevens that McCarthy
had "abused" an army officer
witness.
This program called for 1) an
end to one-man subcommittee in-
vestigations such as McCarthy has
conducted in the past, 2) limita-
tions on the use of subpoenas,
3) establishment in practice as
well as in theory of the right of
witness to have legal counsel and
4) adequate notice of hearings.
The Wisconsin senator said he
intends to teep right on inves-
tigating, even if it embarrasses his
own party. He contended that he
hasn't mistreated witnesses and
said that in the future they "will
have the same consideration as
in the past."
Meanwhile, Mrs. Annie Lee
Moss, who figured in Sen. McCar-
thy's investigation of what he
calls "Communist coddling" in
the Army, has been suspended by
the Army Signal Corps, her lawyer
said.
Atty. George E. C. Hayes, said
she was notified yesterday that
she had been suspended as of
Thursday, "pending the adjudi-
cation of her case." Pentagon offi-
cials had no comment.
Hayes said Mrs. Moss has testi-
fled to the House Un-American
Activities Committee, and will re-
peat it under oath to McCarthy's
Senate Investigations subcommit-
tee, that she isn't a Communist
and never has been.
YD Talk:Given
By McCarthy
Special to The Daily
ST. CLAIR SHORES-Speaking
at a Young Democrat dinner last
night Rep. Eugene McCarthy of
Minnesota lashed out at the "cru-

themselves as saviors.
"The Republicans are having
difficulties and the country is suf-
fering as a result of certain weak-
nesses existing in the Republican
approach to any problem," he said.
BEFORE A group of prominent
local Democrats including Gov. G.

that the present Administration
is lacking in a philosophy of gov-
ernment."
