Islands Bingley Honored Fate of SL's Treasury In Cease-Fire Talks, Still Uncertain; Second Special Meeting Called Sec. Dulles Promises Nationalists Must Agree If Abandoned TAPEI, Formosa () - Secre- tary of State John Foster Dulles told President Chiang Kai-shek yesterday Quemoy and the Mat- sus would not be used in any cease-fire negotiations without -7 Nationalist consent, sources close to Sec. Dulles said. These sources said abandon- ment of the offshore islands would be considered only if the Nation- alists agreed and if such a step could bring a guarantee of peace in Asia. Vow ToDefend The Nationalists have vowed to A defend Quemoy and the Matsus against the Communists. Chiang himself seemed to throw cold wa- ter on any attempt to tie his hands shortly after Sec. Dulles left for Washington. Chiang told the closing session of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang-his Nationalist par- ty-that the government must strengthen itself "to realize our mission of counterattack and na- tional survival." Sec. Dulles reiterated that the mobile United States air and sea forces in the Far East would be used as a deterrent to aggression. But he put the accent on peace in a statement at the airport before his departure. Signs Treaty "It is the ardent hope of the United States, he said, "that the Chinese Communists will not in- sist on war as an instrument of their policy.". Sec. Dulles' first act on his ar-' rival earlier in the day was to sign the mutual defense treaty under which the United States guarantees to defend Formosa and the nearby Pescadores from Red attack. He has said previously the Unit- ed States would not defend the offshore islands "as such" but would watch closely for any Com-, munist attempt to use them as stepping stones to an attack on Formosa. Coleman Opens Health Confab Close to $50 million must be appropriated for the year's public health budget said State Sen. Creighton R. Coleman (R-Battle Creek) in yesterday's opening ad- dress of the Public Health Con- ference. He said the additional money will have to be raised from taxes. Sen. Coleman added that coun- ties would have to continue stress- ing the tuberculosis problem, though he remarked they have done a commendable job. At pres- ent, he added, he is not worried about the empty bed situation in TB hospitals, considering it a challenge to fill them. He noted that in every other program there are not enough facilities. He also spoke on the care-of- old-people problem calling it eco- nomic, social and financial and that a local .solution could be found for it. WINS 1,500 METER: Konno Puts Ohio State Into Big Ten Tank Lead By DON'LINDMAN Special to The Daily COLUMBUS-Ford Konno captured his fourth, straight 1,500 meter freestyle title last night as Ohio State took a five point lead in the opening evening of the Big Ten Championship Swimming Meet. Konno took an immediate lead in his heat, the third and last of the night, and splashed to a margin of more than one hundred meters over Michigan's John O'Reilly. who gained second place. The TEP OR PHI EP? Fraternity To Return To 'U' in Near Future By JOEL BERGER Interfraternity Council executive committee last night decided to re-admit a fraternity to campus in the near future. Final decision as to which fraternity it will be-Tau Epsilon Phi or Phi Epsilon Pi-will be made when the committee meets Thursday. Also during the session, the group voted to present to the House Presidents Assembly a brief concerning the start of a co-operative food IDormont Hits Cinderinen Try for Title MSC Hosts Big Ten Illinois Risks String By STEVE HEILPERN This may be Michigan's year to step out of the bridesmaid's role. The Wolverine tracksters stand an excellent chance of dethron- ing four-time champion Illinois as the forty-fifth annual indoor Big Ten Track and Field Champion- ships get-underway tonight at Michigan State College's Jenison Field House in East Lansing. T h i s evening's preliminaries will begin at 7 with the finals scheduled for 1 p.m. tomorrow. While Indiana and Iowa also loom as major contenders for the title, most track experts have agreed that Michigan's well-bal- anced team will probably be Il- linois' biggest headache. Site Important The Maize and Blue have been good-but not quite good enough- in their last four championship tries. Don Canham's teams fin- ished second to the Champaign outfit in '51, '52 and '53, and was barely edged out for second place last year by Indiana. Canham and Prof. Phil Dia- mond, Michigan track expert, be- lieve Illinois to be slightly strong- er, but point-out that the meet's site evens up things. This is the first time in a few years that the meet hasn't been held in Cham- paign's Illinois Armory, and a rel- atively unfamiliar confine may se- riously hinder the Illini's chances. Iowa has the potential to win, but is generally considered a year away from- championship caliber. Indiana, last year's runner-up, can challenge only if Olympic star Milt Campbell is in top form; and Campbell hasn't been up to par recently because of a lingering leg injury. The Wolverines are favored in four events - the 880, mile, high jump and mile relay. Gray Favored Pete dray has run the half-mile in 1:52.8 this year, making him the favorite in the event, but Hank Cryer of the Illini has run under 1:50 outdoors. This could well be the closest race of the meet. John Moule is the best bet in the mile run, but the Michigan captain isn't alone in the field; Rich Ferguson of Iowa, Indiana's Jim Lambert and Karl Jonsson of Illinois are all topnotch milers and are capable of winning. See MICHIGAN, Page 3 swinning time was 18:21.8, fully ten seconds slower than Konno's NCAA record which was set in 1952 at East Lansing. Final Heats Pay Off All of the six point-worthy places were earned in the final two heats. Chuck Stephanos of Ohio State won the second heat with a time that placed him fourth in the race, behind Iowa's Ross Lucas who trailed O'Reilly in the third heat. Stephanos' three points were added to the seven that Konno earned to give OSU a 10 point total for the first night's activity. O'Reilly was credited with the five points which rated the Wolverines an early second place tie in the tourney. Lucas' third place finish was worth four points for Iowa. Rounding out the scoring were Bill Kerr of Indiana who won two points for firiishing fifth and Glen Johnston whose one point for sixth place ,carried Iowa into a tie with Michigan behind the leading Buckeyes, O'Reilly was hard-pressed to edge Lucas for the runnerup spot in the opening event. After lead- ing Lucas for the first 600 meters, the fast-developing Wolverine was matched stroke for stroke by the Iowan until a last-minute sprint earned O'Reilly second place by only three seconds. Both O'Reilly and Lucas were well over a minute slower than the victorious Konno. O'Reilly's time was 19:41.6, while Lucas swam the 1,500 meters in 19:44.9. Two other Michigan tankers participated in last night's race. Harrison Wehner finished just out of the scoring in eighth place with a time of 20:59.5. Wolverine Tom Prunk's 21:30.7 rated him far away from point honors. Wehner Fades Wehner led Kerr early in the third heat and gave promise of contributing to Michigan's score with a possible fifth place finish. But Kerr outlasted the fading Wolverine to gain fourth in the heat and fifth in the race. See OSU, Page 3 Committee Defers Action On Calendar At a meeting of the University Calendaring Committee yester- day, a proposed long-term aca- demic calendar was discussed. The suggested plan includes a shorter Christmas vacation, offi- cial approval of the present Thanksgiving vacation, two 15- week semesters and elimination of the existing "dead" period between semesters. The proposal also outlines a shorter pre-class period at the be- ginning of an earlier fall semes- ter. No definite decision was reached by the committee, however, be- cause of possible conflicts with the athletic and orientation programs. Further consideration of a pos- sible acceptance of the proposal were postponed until next week's meeting., Appoint Hampton Secretary to NSA -Daily-Lynn Wallas ASSISTANT TO DEAN OF MEN John E.

DENOUNCE NAZIS: Zionists Reaffirm Stand On Berlin Philharmonic By DAVID KAPLAN "We don't deny the right to bring Nazis to this country, but we do not want to attend their concert," David Sirota said yesterday at an open meeting discussing "Music and Politics: The Berlin Phil- harmonic Orchestra." About 50 people at the Hillel Foundation discussed the fact that conductor Herbert von Karajan, manager Gerhart von West- 0 erman and several members of the ._ _ . _. nr~to~r cnc n Tn n 7 rfr m m 'LYL Hears Nowak Talk Addressing the Labor Youth League on the question of German rearmament,'- former State Sena- tor Stanley Nowak said that Ger- many is the "key to the entire question of whether we will have peace or war." In reply to the statement that a military Germany is necessary to preserve and strengthen peace in that area, Nowak said, "General- ly speaking, the rearmament of any country will lead to war. In Germany's history, rearmament has always led to war." Points Out Contradictions Pointing to contradictions in the argument for rearming Germany, .he commented that a half-million man German army will not be an effective force against the Rus- sian army. "Since it would have no military value," he said, "it can only serve to provoke war. Our policy, if con- tinued, will lead'to war and the American people will pay the high- est price." "We have no allies," Norwak con- tinued, 'for Irance will not fight and the West German people will not be bought. With present atom- ic weapons, we will be licked as thoroughly as Germany was." Cites Other Agreements "Who will lead this new army?" he asked. "There are no other gen- erals than those under Nazi Hit- ler," he commented, "so it will be trained by the same Nazi offi- cers that trained Hitler's army." Nowak cited the program of the Yalta and Potsdam agreements as the real solution to the German problem. "They provided for the breakup of the Auge German mon- opolies and cartels," he said, "be- cause of large concentration of wealth in the hands of militar- ists." orchestra were Na i arty mem.- bers. Sirota added that "these men are personally responsible for the extermination of millions of Jews." Responsible For Extermination Shulamith Laikin, '55, iresident of the Student Zionist Organiza- tion which sponsored the meeting, said "The Nazi's were not a po- litical party. Nazism was almost a religion. Where can you designate where art begins and the man ends?" Ida Hakemeyer, representing the American Association of University Women, felt that the issue over the Berlin Philharmonic is an "attack on the German people as a whole. Forgiving can be the only posi- tion." Can One Corrupt? Discussing the accusation of conductor von Karajan's Nazi af- filiation, Bernard Guggenheim, 56E,iasked if "one person corrupts the whole orchestra?" David Darsky, answering Gug-. genheim said that "when you ap- plaud for the music, you applaud for the members and give them respect they do not deserve." "We forgot our losses too quick- ly," Israeli A. Noar commented. "All Germans in the war were ac- tive Nazi Party members and should, be judged so." Past Killings "All nations have killed Jews at one time or another in history," Peter Hoff, teaching felloA' in the Spanish department said, "so by that token we should not hear French orchestras, English orches- tras, Spanish orchestras or Rus- sian orchestras." In Detroit, where the orchestra has scheduled an appearance for March 17, Council 167 of the Polish Alliance has demanded that von Karajan's visa be revoked. The United States State Depart- ment has advised all protesters against the Orchestra that all le- gal requirements for admission to this country have been met. buying plan among campus frater-< nities. The plan will begin on a. trial basis next month. TEP or Phi Ep? Both TEP and Phi Ep have pre- viously been on campus. Tau Ep- silon Phi operated here from 1922 to 1932, while Phi Ep was here from 1921 to 1942. During the committee's discus- sion, howeyer, it was decided that at present there would be room for just one of the two houses. Both fraternities are predominantly Jewish. According to ex-IFC President John Baity, '55, there are now two unaffiliated Jewish students here for every Jewish affiliate, while the campus ration of non-Jewish fraternity men is one to every four non-Jewish independents. There are presently six predomi- nantly Jewish fraternities here. Food Buying Plan Earlier in the meeting, it was disclosed that a trial period for the co-operative food buying plan' which began yesterday will extend to June 1. Orders for trial goods will be placed before tomorrow for the April shipments. Under the trial period, only two goods will be bought in April and March in order to test the plan's effectiveness. Food will be purchased in quan- tity after bids have been submitted by merchants. Eventually, if con- tinued, the co-operative plan will enable fraternities tohpurchase meats, furniture and other items. At present fraternities at Ohio State, Oregon State and several other universities purchase food co-operatively. Exchange Program Ruling Earlier in the meeting, the committee decided the IFC will recommend to the Assembly that IFC assume the obligation for room and board for one exchange student annually from the Free University of Berlin under the program set up by Student Legis- lature. Also during the session, Sigma Phi Epsilon was fined $25 for a "pledge prank." An active in the fraternity said last night the inci- dent occurred Feb. 3.

The German Ice Hockey As- sociation in Dusseldorf has asked Michigan to send its icers at German expense (excluding transportation). Michigan Ath- letichDirector H. O. Crislerdwas 'enthusiastic about the idea," according to Coach Vic Hey- liger. The Wolverines have accept- ed tentatively. Egyp7t Signs Pact; Israel hreatened CAIRO, Egypt ( ) - Egypt threatened yesterday to hit back in force against . Israel if border clashes between the two countries continued. In Damascus, Egyptian and Syr- ican officials announced the sign- ing of a new Arab defense pact aimed at the Jewish state. Then the Egyptian delegation, headed by National Guidance Minister Salah Salem, moved on to Amman with hopes of adding Jordan as a third partner. All three coun- tries are Israel's neighbors. Emergency Session These developments came on the eve of an emergency session of the United Nations Security Coun- cil in New York to discuss Egypt's charges of aggression ,by Israel. Egypt charges Israeli forces made two attacks on Egyptian troops Monday night on the out- skirts of Gaza, Egyptian-held city about two miles on the Egyptian side of the armistice-fixed border in southwest Palestine. The Egyptians reported 36 of their soldiers and two civilians were killed in the clash and 31 wounded. 'Strong Enough' Egyptian Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser told cheering students at his country's military college in Cairo, "we are now strong enough for Israel." He declared the Egyp- tian army has been ordered "to retaliate by force against any provocation." Berlin U' Part Of Fund Plan By DAVE BAAD Student Legislature came close last night but recessed again with- out disposing of its $4,500 treas- ury. SL President Ned Simon, '55, called another special session for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. - Since the Legislature plans to end its existence Wednesday with a grand finale banquet the finan- cial question should be solved Tuesday.sn Two Parts Approved Two parts of the main motion giving $1,000 to the frozen trust fund for student government in case SGC fails to survive its two year probation and $2,000 to a scholarship fund for students in activities were temporarily ap- proved by SL last night. The Legislature hit a snag on the third section delegating $1,500 to the Free University of Berlin. Paul Dormont, '55, presenting excerpts from a book supposedly received from the Free University of Berlin, strongly questioned the benefits of the exchange. He proposed a substitute motion4 delegating $1,500 to the Free Uni- versity only after a study of the, benefits of the' present Free Uni- versity program. He proposed giv- ing the money to SGC if the Ex- change program was found seri- ously wanting. Quoting from the book, "The Tragedy of Silesia" by Dr. Jo- hannes Kaps Dormont tried to, demonstrate definite anti-Polish and anti-Jewish sentiment by the author. Cites 16 Quotes He cited 16 quotes indicating they were only the worst ones. Legislature cabinet members, however, were not certain the book actually came from the Free Uni- versity. They knew it was sent from Berlin but had no proof it originated from the Free Univer- sity. Simon called Dormont's argu- ments, which dominated discus- sion until adjournment time, "filf- buster Tactics" and called his ef- fort a "circus." Early Motion Beaten Earlier in the meeting Dormont's motion to give the whole $4,500 to a trust fund to loan money to non- profit groups whose pu'pose is to provide goods and services to stu- dents was defeated 23-2 after an hour and fifteen minutes discus- sion. If the Legislature approves $1,- 500 for the Free University the whole motion including the already temporarily approved first two parts will have to be reapproved in whole by SL. Two amendments to the main motion-one to delete the name "endowment fund" from the scholarship plan and one to spe- cifically offer three $100 scholar- ships each fall semester and two $100 each spring semester-were passed earlier in the meeting by the Legislature Motion Seeks Compulsory Candidate Training Groups Student government candidates in the future may be required to attend all candidates training meetings or fade being dropped from the ballot. The SGC steering committee yesterday passed a recommendation to SGC that attendance at the training sessions be made mandatory in the future. Although attendance at the training meetings during the last two weeks was generally good 2 Law Students Challenge. Campus to 'Go Fly a Kite By BILL HANEY There are plenty of strings attached to the all-campus challenge * made by two law students. Jim Leavengood, '57, and Jim Kilsdonk, '57, boldly stated, "We challenge anyone on campus to a kite-flying contest." The pair have good reason for their cockiness. Wednesday, en- couraged by premature spring fbver, they succeeded in flying a kite in the Law Club. This is reported- " World News Roundup By The Associated Press U.S. To Aid Bombed Britain?
