Rise Causes Difficulties By HARRY STRAUSS By 1970 the number of col students is expected to dou Who is to do the financing This numerical growth wil paralleled by construction, eq ment and faculty costs. President of the University Detroit, The Very Reverend Ce tin J. Steiner, holds that the recourse for this financing sh be to government. Individual Responsibility Mr. Steiner says that it is u the individual to finance his through college as much as he before turning to others for h "It is one thing to hold," continued, "that no one shoulc deprived of a higher education cause of his inability to pay cost. "It is another to hold that e qualified person, even though to work, earn and pay has a r to go to college at the cost of ernment." State Plans The State of Michigan has p for a network of community leges to be financed by both community and the state v little cost to the student. Put education under governmental main would, Mr. Steiner added a long step in the direction socialism. Recent statistics show that per cent of Michigan's college dents are in government-suppo institutions. If the community lege plan is carried out, then, Steiner said, the disproportion tween public and private colle will be even more marked tha is at present." He noted, though, that gove ment-financed education is ess tial to our American democrac: it exists today-there will alv be some who "will not be able provide for themselves as far education is concerned." In advancing the notion of s dent self-help, the University Detroit head called for the fori tion of an "impartial, objeci committee -representative of higher education to survey study anticipated educatio " needs."

John F. Enders of the Harvard Medical School, Thomas H. Wel- ler of the Harvard School of Pub- lic Health and Frederick C. Rob- bins, now at Western Reserve Medical School received the prize for discovering new weapons in the fight against Polio. Weller is the son of Carl V. Wel- Ier, chairman of the department of pathology of the University's medical school. Knew of Nomination Contacted last night, Weller's father commented, "Of course, we were very pleased to have him get it. We knew he had been nominat- ed but the final word didn't come through until this afternoon." Prof. Thomas Francis of the medical school, who is now tabu- lating results of the Salk vaccine tests, said, "I think it's wonder- ful. "Enders. Weller and Robbins were able to establish poliomyeli- tis virus in cultures of tissue. This means that instead of having to use monkeys and apes in experi- ments, much of the work can bet done in a test tube," explained Prof. Francis. Rapid Advance Possible "This made possible a rapid ad- vance in diagnosis and the devel- opment of preventive measures. The Salk vaccine is an outgrowth of their original work," said Prof. Francis. They will share $35,056 in prize money to be awarded by Swedish king Gustav Adolf at a traditional ceremony in Stock- holm Dec. 10. Awards for litera- ture, physics and chemistry, not yet announced, will be handed out at the same time. No Peace Prize Announcement has already been made .that no Nobel Peace prize will be awarded this year.# The three scientists carried on their work in the Research Divi- sion of Infectious Diseases of the Children's Medical Center, in Bos- ton, Mass. Enders is director of the division and Weller is assist- ant director. r Parliaments Next Must OK Treaties West Germany Slated for NATO Admittance, Tight Arms Control PARIS (M-Nine anti-Communist allies of the Western world reach- ed a historic agreement late yesterday on formation of the Western European Union. It will include the arms and men of an all but fully sovereign West Germany. Foreign ministers of the nine nations virtually completed the agree- ments here yesterday, including the forging of tight controls over Germany's military potential for the rest of this century. Details were being hammered out so that each government may soon ask for ratification by their parliaments of treaties that will link West Germany to NATO.

UAW Attempts Better Wage Plan Program The proposed United Auto Workers-sponsored annual wage plan "does not guarantee an an- nual salary, but a guaranteed sal- ary during lay-off," said Ralph Showalter, assistant to Walter Reuther in the Educational De- partment of the UAW-CIO, here last night. Addressing a Sigma Rho Tau smoker, Showalter explained that the plan will guarantee a full work week. He pointed out that similar plans in the packing and sugar industries provide for a specific amount of money to be re- ceived annually. cT TIlrl" Y!C 1l UT I Yj~anzN :U-YCosL i iaNhrw ru11N i O Uf : decisively yesterday for the rest of the year.

Asks Free-for-All End Warning that Russian strategy is aimed at separating us from the majority of the world's peoples, Cousins called for an end to the "free-for-all on the coffin of Na- tionalist China" and a recogni- tion of what is needed for an effec- tive program. Cousins asserted that India and America are drifting apart, blam- ing the separation on a series of tragic misunderstandings rather than Communist propaganda. "In- dia misinterprets our efforts to stop Soviet imperialism and thinks we are bent on a military show- down. America misinterprets In- dia's foreign policy as knuckling under to the threat of Soviet force." New Point Four Suggested TONIGHT AT HILL: Takes Local .'Caine Mutiny' Role Source of Pride for Paul Douglas Philanthropist "If it had taken fifty years to get the role of Captain Queeg in the 'Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,' I'd consider the time well spent," commented Actor Paul Douglas in an exclusive letter to the Michigan Daily. Douglas, who is appearing in the theatrical adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize winning novel scheduled at 8:30 p.m. today and to- morrow in Hill Auditorium, iade his screen debut six years ago in "A Letter to Three Wives." Since that time he has become one of the most popular and well-known actors in the motion picture in- dustry. Termed "Golden Boy" "According to the reports," Douglas stated, "I had zoomed to fame in a matter of hours, I was a genius and a golden boy, a bril- liant newcomer who would go far. Actually," he continued, "it had taken me something like 25 years to become an actor." In spite of the variety of jobs he has held, Douglas admitted, "I always wanted to be on the stage and never made any bones about it. I told everyone, all my friends and even a few enemies." Harry Boyd Earhart, 83, indus- trialist and philanthropist, died fol- lowing a heart attack yesterday morning at his Geddes Rd. home. At 17 Earhart began a business career with a shipping company which eventually led him to found the White Star Refining Co., which he was with until he retired in 1932. Two philanthropic foundations were established by Earhart. The Earhart Foundation to further edu- cation and religion was established in 1929, followed in 1951 by the Reim Foundation. The two foundations were re- sponsible for many projects, in- cluding grants to industrial educa- tion departments at the California Institute of Technology, Queens
