..."a religion of sincerity"

Goncharoff Calls Religion
Answer to Communism
By SHIRLEY CROOG and MARY ANN THOMAS
"The positive answer to fighting Communism is a belief in a
religion of sincerity and unity of purpose between Christian socie-
ties," Nicholas T. Goncharoff, former Russian Army officer, said
yesterday.
Representing the national organization of the American Friends
of Russian Freedom, Goncharoff spoke on the Religious Crisis of
Today" at a luncheon sponsored by Lane Hall.
Prof. Frank R. Barnett of Wabash College, Ind., director of the
AFRF and one of the leading exponents of aiding Russian refugees,
cautioned, "War is not inevitable. It is likely, however, if we do not
take steps to avoid it."
"Our alternative to making peace is to transrer the idea of military
hardware to the realm of spiritual values," Prof. Barnett added. He
said one must use positive deeds of friendship toward the people
behind the Iron Curtain to illustrate dededication in spiritual values.
"We must make the United States government aware that private

A two-story addition to the

on the Michigan Union, cost-
ing an estimated $100,000, was
discussed at last night's meet-

According to Union President
Tom Leopold, '55, shell for the
project is expected to be built
after the present Union addi-
tion is completed. The added
space will be used for student
activities.
After Union Board action is
taken, the proposed structure,
Leopold said, will probably be!
considered at the next meeting
of the Board of Regents.

Big Ten Threatens
NCAA TV Boycott
Pacific Coast Conference indicates
Support After Crisler's Speech
By JACK HORWITZ
With one of the strongest statements to come from the Big
Ten, the Western Conference yesterday threatened to boycott or
secede from the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
The statement was made in an effort to get the NCAA to change
its present television policy, televising only One' football game na-
tionally per week, to letting the individual schools make their own
television arrangements.
H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler, athletic director of the University and
Big Ten spokesman during the NCAA discussion, said that the West-
ern Conference could not accept another control plan like the one
instituted during the past season'

Ma Re uest
Student Tax
A student tax and the addition
of a second Vice-Presidency are
the major changes being consider-
ed in a current revision of the
Assmbly Association Constitution.
Twenty-five cents to be taken
out of the house dues of each inde-
pendent woman on campus per
year would net assembly approxi-
mately $750 in addition to the
$1200 currently obtained from
service projects. It would go a long
way toward alleviating "our main
headache," a very tight budget,
according to Hazel Frank, '56, As-
sembly president.
Miss Frank estimates that the
average house dues are $3.
Largest item in assembly's bud-
get is $867.26 which covers the cost
of the group's publication "Assem-
bly Line" and for pages in the
'Ensian and League Lowdown.
This year assembly is operating
on deficit of $120.16.
The proposed new officer, Ad-
ministrative Vice-President would
work closely with the President on
matters of internal organization.
Since the creation of Student,
Government Council on which As-
sembly is represented the Presi-
dent's duties have increased and it
has become even more important
to have an assistant, Miss Frank
said.
Assembly's other Vice President,
who has always worked with the
organization's League House Coun-
cil will now be called Vice Pre-
sident in Charge of League Hous-
es.

citzens can reach out. to people
behind the Iron Curtain and show
them that the West cares for them
and wants to prevent war," the
Elizabethan drama professor said.
Illustrating how Communist
movements are used to penetrate
a country from within, thus setting
the stage for revolution, Gonchar-
off said that in 1954 273,000 na-
tive leaders were educated in pro-
fessional fields in the Soviet Un-
ion and satellite countries.
These people returned to their
countries as political leaders, pre-
pared to begin Commtinst move-
ments.
"Communist dictatorship has
been able to control Russian life,"
the director of the Free Russian
Youth Club added in a speech lat-
er yesterday, "but it has not been
able to control our thought."
Desire for Freedom
While Communists have devel-
oped tremendous propaganda to
indoctrinate the Russian people,
Goncharoff tressed, "there is no
Iron Curtain between the hearts
of the Russian people and people
of the United States. The pea-
sants want freedom."
"The United States is the only
power able to give Russians the
answer," he continued, "but the*
tragedy is that often the west
doesn't like to be disturbed."

for football games.
Imply PCC Action
Immediately after Crisler's
speech, Al Masters of Stanford+
rose to state that the Pacific
Coast Conference would definitely
support the regional television
program. This would indicate that
if the Big Ten should withdraw
from the NCAA, the PCC would
follow in their footsteps.
Crisler indicated that if thes
1955 television committee of the"
NCAA could formulate and present
to the entire body a plan similar
to the previous one, then the Big
Ten would reject it and probably
adopt a television plan of its own.
This would be in conflict with the
NCAA rules.
Crisler's lengthy speech startled
the many college athletic leaders
at the 49th annual convention of
the NCAA. The implication of
withdrawal was evident to them
and many people feel that if thel
Big Ten should withdraw from the
association, the entire organization
would collapse. t
The vigorous statement from
the Western Conference in favor
of regional television highlighted
a busy day in which members ofi
the' American Football Coaches1
Association voted informally by a
3-1 margin to continue the 19541
type of television controls.
Upholds Old Plans
Proponents of the old plans,
namely the eastern schools, ques-
tioned the feasibility of a regional
television plan. They indicatedi
that it would practically kill foot-
ball attendance.

With Democrats
WASHINGTON P) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower held out
the hand of cooperation to the
new, Democratic-controlled Con-
gress yesterday along with a mas-
sive legislative program keyed to
warding off "the catastrophe of
nuclear holocaust."
In a message to the lawmakers
on the State of the Union, bidding,
strongly for political harmony and
good will; President Eisenhower
saw a heartening hope for world
peace, and progress toward the
ultimate "rule of freedom and jus-
tice."
Yet, he said that the peace of
today is insecure in the face of_
"military machines and ambitions
of the Soviet-Communist bloc"
that create sobering problems and
world uneasiness.

broke in with applause for a
promise that "America's response
to aggression will be swift and de-

With the shift of congressional
control to the Democrats, Presi-
dent Eisenhower said, both parties
now are ."on trial." He called on
them to avoid paralysis and an-
'.indecision approaching futility."
Measures Cited
In the domestic legislation field,
Eisenhower asked such measures
as a 90-cent minimum wage, new
tariff-cutting powers, f e d e r a1
health aids, revision of labor laws,
a lowered voting age, "affirmative
action" for more school facilities,
and statehood for Hawaii.

down calls on America and Con-
gress to work for peace while re-

strengthen the economy and ex-
pand prosperity, to meet the hu-
man needs of every citizen, and
move on to "a future filled with'
opportunity and hope."
Public Gives
Views on Plan
For Charter
A suggested human relations
commission was the subject of
most comment at final public
hearings on the proposed new Ann
Arbor charter.
Civic Forum President Albert
Wheeler asked that the charter
provide for a governmental body
to investigate cases of possible dis-
crimination a g a i n s t minority
groups and to promote under-
standing through educational pro-
grams.
Citizens Support

Such a commission would also
have the power to recommend ac-
tion to the city council. The pro-
posal was supported by several of
the nearly 100 citizens who filled
the city council chambers.
Plans to have county supervis-
ors appointed came in for critic-
ism. A poll of city officials re-
ported at the meeting showed half
the alderman and the mayor fav-
oring a system of elections similar
to that now in practice.

For years little progress could
be shown to indicate that the
fight against polio was nearing an
end.
In March, 1953 came the long-
awaited word that a polio vaccine
had passed the experimental stage
of laboratory testing. Developed by
Dr. Jonas E. Salk of the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh, the vaccine was
a pinkish fluid containing all
three known types of polio virus.
Sixteen years of virus research
and more th'an $16,000,000 in
March of Dimes funds preceded
the advent of the trial polio vac-
cine.
However, the Salk vaccine was
not the first preventative intro-
duced. In 1951, Dr. William McD.
Hammon of the University of
Pittsburgh reported that a blood
fraction, called gamma globulin,
given in mass inoculations at the
proper time and in the proper

evaluations proved that GG can
give temporary protection only if
injected at the right time.
Two Shortcomings
There were two major short-
comings to GG. Its protection was
temporary and lasted only for
about five weeks and the supply
of GG was limited. Developed
from blood materials, GG could
not be the final answer because
of its scarcity.
Yet, because it was all they had,
officers of the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis made
plans to use GG for mass inocula-
tions in 1953.
"Operation Ouch"
Before the polio season ended,
235,000 children received GG shots
between June 30 and mid-October
of 1953. "Operation Lollipop," as
the innoculations were termed,
finally became known as "Opera-
tion Ouch" as cries and yelps
greeted the quick sting of the GG
needle.
Because the 1953 inoculations
