Stay in Europe
Statement Indicates Encouraging
Of French, Italian EDC Participation
AUGUSTA-P-President Eisenhower reassured France yester-
day that American troops will stay in Europe as long as needed to
repulse any "threat to that area."
The President's declaration, issued from his vacation headquarters
at Augusta, Ga., was addressed to the prime ministers of the six na-
tions involved in the projected European Defense Community.
BUT U. S. OFFICIALS clearly indicated it was 4imed at bolstering
the French government's politically precarious move Thursday to-j

Enrollment
Rise Poses
Difficulties
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
in a series of articles about the prob-
lems created by expanding enrollment
and how the University plans to meet
them.)
By JON SOBELOFF
How big should the University
get?
With the State's college age
population expected to double by
1970 this question has taken on
tremendous practical importance
* * *
A LOOK at enrollment and pop-
ulation trends will show just how
big the problem is. In th last
year before World War II, there
were 52,000 students enrolled in
the State's colleges. During the
"veteran's bulge" of 1948-49, to-
tal college enrollment hit 102000.
This year's figure is slightly
lower-90,000. But an estimated
enrollment of better than double
the present amount, or 200,000
Is predicted by 1970.
What's behind the big enroll-
ment boom?
Babies born in Michigan two
years ago will be ready to enter
college in 1970, and there are twice
as many of them as were born in
1936-the potential freshman class
of 1952.
A -"s
BESIDES birth rates, economic
conditions and the general appre-
ciation of higher education are im-
portant factors in determining
the size of college enrollments.
For instance, there were few-
er people of college age in the
state last year (316,000) than in
1939 (331,000) but the total en-
rollment in Michigan colleges
was 80 per cent higher last year
than in 1939-40.
From 1940 to 1950, the percent-
age of state college-age people who
actually went to college increased
from 15 per cent to 29 per cent
Experts predict that if there is
any change in the proportion of
college age students going to col-
lege by 1970, it will be an increase,
not a decrease.
These figures, plus the Univer-
sity's position as the largest high-
er educational institution in the
State, add up to this: Enrollment
at the University may double by
1970, unless the University puts or
a ceiling.
IF THE University isn't ready t
handle 30,000 to 40,000 students
other existing State schools, or new
schools will have to take care o
what's left.
That neans the University
may lose its place as the State's
biggest school, and the big ap-
proriations that go with that
status. And limiting the size of
the University would mean in-
dividual schools and colleges of
the University would have to be
willing to limit themselves--
that's not too likely.
In any event, it seems almost
certain that the University will be
called on to serve a considerably
larger student body. So University
officials, faculty members and
State Legislators are asking with
concern:
How big can the University get
without becoming administrative-
ly unwieldy, without having "pro-
duction line" education? Is it bet-
ter to expand the University or t
have several smaller institutions?

ward action on EDC after yearsj
of delay.
EDC calls for a unified Euro-
pean army, including German
troops to defend the continent
against any Russian aggression.
France's delay in ratifying it
has been due in large measure
to fear of a rearmed Germany.
President Eisenhower's pledge
brought a prompt response from
Paris, where' a spokesman said
Premier Joseph Laniel's Cabinet
was entirely satisfied that Eisen-
hower's assurances were fully as
valid as Britain's earlier pledge of
closer ties with EDC.I
Britain promised Thursday, not
only to keep troops on the conti-
nent, but to put an armored divi-
sion and Royal Air Force units in}
EDC forces.
.* * *
IN THE U. S. Congress yester-
day there were rumblings that
Eisenhower had not consulted leg-
islative leaders on his pledge, al-
though he said the essential ele-
ments of his position had been dis-
cussed with both Republican and
Democratic leaders.
Senator Michael Mansfield
(D-Mont.) foresaw a possible
"great debate" rivaling the one.
three years ago over President
Truman's decision to send troops
to Europe. Concerning the Eis-
enhower pledge, Mansfield said:
"There may be a great deal of
merit in the proposal but why
3weren't leaders of both parties on
I the Foreign Relations and Armed
Services Committees consulted?"
Chairman Alexander Wiley (R-
Wis.) of the Foreign Relations
Committee said he knew nothing
of the Eisenhower promise until
he read news stories about it. But
he said that there was apparently
"nothing new" in the policy, and
he felt sure that if anything new
was contemplated, "the President
will come to Congress with it."
Only France and Italy have notI
yet ratified EDC.
Merchants Fear
Bogus Twenties
Several local merchants have
been warned by Detroit whole-
salers to be on the look-out for
an influx of counterfeit twenty-
dollar bills in Ann Arbor from the
motor city, it was learned yester-
day.
The counterfeit twenties alleg-
edly have serial number identifi-
cations beginning with the letter
"B" and ending in "D". They sup-
posedly are currently circulating
t in Detroit and vicinity.

Says Top Physicist
'ot Security Risk'?
Adds If Not Subject To Blackmail,
Should Have Right To Work for U.S.
WASHINGTON-(-0)-A high Administration official yesterday
expressed the opinion that J. Robert Oppenheimer "is a loyal Ameri-
can and should not be barred from government work if he is not a

"If the man is not a security risk, if he is not subject to black-
mail." this official said, "he should have a right to work for the
government."

not be disclosed, he said it is up to a special panel to decide whetherf

WASHINGTON -- (M) -A high
Administration official expressed
belief yesterday that American
forces should be used to save Indo-
China in what he called the un-
likely event that all other means
fail to hold it against the Com-
munists.
The anonymous statement
brought an immediate Congres-

Senators Bourke Hickenlooper (R-
Iowa) and Hubert Humphrey( D-
Minn.) that it went beyond Ad-
ministration policy as they know
it.

the Administration's initiative.
It therefore is obviously un-
true, he said, that the news was
made public in order to offset
1possibly more sensational treat-
ment of the case by the Sen-
ate Investigations subcommittee
headed by Senator Joseph Mc-
Carthy (R-Wis.).
The official said he could not
tell the extent to which Oppen-
heimer and his advisers might
have been influenced by the pos-
sibility of McCarthy disclosures,
"but it did not influence the exec-
utive branch."
