Communist Leader . . .
NEW YORK - Irving Potash,
one of the nation's 11 convicted
top Communist leaders, sailed for
Red Poland yesterday, rather than
risk further imprisonment here.
He was the highest-ranking
American Red to head for the
Iron Curtain since Gerhard Eisler
3 jumped bail and stowed away on
the liner Batory in 1949.
Highway Plan...
WASHINGTON - A number of
Senate Democrats appeared to be
lining up yesterday for a com-
promise highway plan.
It would boost sharply the fed-
eral government's share in the na-
tion's road building program and
increase federal gasoline taxes.
Tax Cut. .
WASHINGTON - The Demo-
cratic-sponsored $20 income tax
cut for everybody yesterday ap-
peared headed for Senate defeat
and a compromise struggle with
the House.
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.),
who won a 9-6 vote against the tax
cut in his Senate Finance Com-
mittee, said "a minimum of 10"
Democratic senators will side with
him when the issue comes to a vote
o the Senate floor.

MIGs Hidden..
PANMUNJOM, Korea - The
UN Command yesterday accused
the Reds of hastily pulling out
more than 150 Russian-built MIG
jets from six North Korean bases
to hide them from the eyes of
neutral inspection teams.
United States Maj. Gen. Leslie
D. Carter said "continuous radar

Ticket Sales
For Concert
On Upswing
Ticket sales for the local ap-
pearance of the Berlin Philhar-
monic March 15, have been on the
'upswing in the last few days. a
University Musical Society mem-
ber said.
The Society, which sponsors the
concert, has a sold-out house, ex-
cept for "seats behind poles and a
few on the side."
Local Protest
In recent days, the issue of
Nazism in the orchestra, regarding
its conductor Herbert von Kara-
jan, its manager Gerhart von Wes-
terman and several members had
received local protest by the Stu-
dent Zionist Organization and the
Labor Youth League.
"These protests have helped
sales," the Society source said.
"But, we have been selling seats
for the Berlin Orchestra, as well
as other Choral Union concerts,
since last spring."
"The demand for seats has sold
the house out and we will have to
sell standing room," the Society
member added.
Von Karajan Elected
Von Karajan was unanimously
elected Thursday as the perma-
nent director of the Orchestra.
The announcement was made in
Pittsburgh, where the group was
performing.
Any new conductor or new
member must get approval by the
majority of the present orchestra
personnel. Earlier, von Karajan
was approved by the Berlin city
council.
The Jewish Community Council
of Detroit has made a protest with
the United States State Depart-
ment against the appearance of
von Karajan as conductor of the
Philharmonic in Detroit, March 17.

Delegate Calls
Attack 'Shocking
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. ()-
The UN Security Council yester-
day strongly urged Israel and
Egypt to maintain calm and re-
frain from more fighting along
their tension-filled border.
The Council's f e e l i n g was
summed up by its president, Selim
Sarper, Turkish delegate, at the
end of a 90-minute meeting dur-
ing which several members de-
nounced the Gaza incident of last
Monday night. James J. Wads-
worth, U n i t e d, States delegate,
called it "shocking" and "indefen-
sible from any standpoint."
"Debate Delayed
The delegates held up further
debate on the Gaza case until Maj.
Gen. Edson L. M. Burns, UN truce'
chief in Palestine, can rush to
UN headquarters to make a per-
sonal report, or, if he is held in
Palestine by grave events, a full
report can be received here.
It was apparent despite the dip-
lomatic talk that the members
were shocked by the Gaza fighting
which cost 39 Egyptian and 8 Is-
raeli lives. While they did not
say so specifically, the attitude of
most of the delegates showed that,
on the basis of preliminary re-
ports, they held Israel respon-
sible.
Wadsworth Improvement
The keynote was sounded by
Wadsworth who said that for al-
most a year a general improve-
ment in the maintenance of stab-
ility and quiet on the borders be-
tween Israel and the Arab states
had prevailed.
Sir Pierson Dixon, Britain, said
this was the most serious incident
since the armistice was signed be-
tween Egypt and Israel in 1949.
He said the incident was all the
more deplorable since the situa-
tion on the border line had not
deteriorated in the last year or
so. He said the evidence points to
a premeditated attack by Israeli
forces on Egyptians.
The Council meeting was re-
quested by Egypt after the Gaza
incident.
Free Milk
WASHINGTON (P) - House
members will drink free milk
for the next two weeks.
Rep. M. R. Laird, Republican
from the dairy state of Wiscon-
son, announced yesterday that
milk-dispensing machines will
be unveiled Monday in the Re-
publicanand Democrattcloak-
rooms. The members can take
their choice-plain milk, choc-
olate milk or buttermilk.
Laird said he arranged for
the machines in cooperation
with the National Milk Produc-
ers Federation. It's an attempt
to help end dairy surpluses.
"We will take care of the
milk supply for the first two
weeks," Laird said. "After that,
we will take the plugs out of
the slots and the members will
have to pay."

Nationalists
May Leave
Matsu Isles
TAIPEI, Formosa 0") - ThereI
was speculation in press circles to-
day that the Nationalists might
be abandoning some or all of the
Matsus, island outposts extending
within 31/2 miles of the Red China
mainland off the port of Foochow.
The speculation was entirely un-
official and, of course, without!
public confirmation. Security con-
siderations presumably would pre-
clude public disclosure even if such
were true.
The speculation was stirred by
reports yesterday of a Red gun-
boat attack on Kaoteng, an island
in the group so close to the main-
land that it could almost be blown
out of the water by Red land guns
if they chose.
Attention was further focused
on the Matsus, and the offshore
island situation as a whole, by a
high level conference of United
States and Nationalist defense of-
ficials in Taipei.
The Nationalists claimed they
repelled an attack of Kaotegn
yesterday by 40 Red gunboats and
motorized junks - vessels which
very well could have been a supply
envoy bound for Foochow which
got off course in foggy weather.
If the Nationalists do quit the
Matsus, it would not be too sur-
prising. The Nationalist press has
been full of assertions that neither
the Matsus nor Quemoy, guarding
the approaches to Amoy, would
be abandoned without a fight.
This might be true of the esti-
mated 40,000-man garrison on
Quemoy. But insofar as the es-
timated 5,000-man garrison in the1
Matsus is concerned, the asser-
tions are strongly reminiscent of1
those which preceded the pullout
frd0n Nanchishan and the Tach-
ens., These pullouts were made 120
to 200 miles north of the Matsus..
Wolverine Hockey Team
Trounces Huskies, 5-1
By DAVE RORABACHER
With Captain Bill MacFarland scoring his sixth hat trick of the
year, Michigan overcame the outclassed Michigan Tech hockey
squad; 5-1, at the Coliseum last evening.
Goold Opens Scoring
Jay Goold opened the scoring at 3:47 of the first period as he
swung around from behind the Tech net and shoved the puck into
the far corner of the goal with goalie Bob McManus out of posi-
tion. Twenty five seconds later Wolverine Neil Buchanan knocked
the puck in again to bring the O--
crowd roaring to its feet. How-.
ever the score was disallowed asF
it was ruled that the whistle had L va low s
blown just previous to the puck's
entrance into the netting. 11

skill of a juggler, Coaches Gus Stager and Bruce Harlan have man-

the defending champion, in the Big Ten swimming championships

Stock Official
Says Advice
Upset Market
Senate Demands
Curbs on' Stock
Market Tipsters
WASHINGTON MP)-A demand
for curbs on stock market tip-
sters arose yesterday after the
Senate Banking Committee heard
that one tip by Walter Winchell
cost buyers more than two mil-
lion dollars in about an hour,
President Edward T. McCor-
mick of the American Stock Ex-
change, testified that on anothei
occasion a televised tip by Win-
chell threw the market into tur-
moil.
After the commentator's TV
program on Jan. 9, McCormick
said, an avalanche of orders des-'
cended on the exchange for stock
in Pantepec Oil Co., a Venezuelan
firm.
$8 Loss Per Share
McCormick said that except for
special measures taken by the ex-
change, those who bought on the
Winchell tip and held on to the
stock would now be in the hole by
$8 a share.
The committee had hardly
opened the second day of its
"friendly" study .of stock markets
before Sen. Prescott Bush (R-
Conn.) was calling for steps to
"put an end to this irresponsible
business of giving out market
tips.",
Sen. William Fulbright (D-
Ark.), committee chairman, de-
scribed the tips and the market
fluctuations they caused in some
cases as "a very serious matter."
'Big Headache'
"This is one of the biggest head-
aches I have ever had," agreed
.VlcCormick. However, he said the
big problem was how to draw a
line on market information. He
pointed out that nearly all news-
papers supply financial news.
He said that Winchell gave mar-
ket tips almost weekly, and added
that he didn't know of any in-
stance where Winchell had mis-
stated facts. He declared Winchell
had said that substantially the
same information he gave about
Pantepec Oil had been carried in
newspapers.
Last Chance
To Register
For Election
Ann Arbor citizens and Univer-
sity students who intend to vote'
in the local elections April 4 must
register at the City Clerk's office
before the 8 p.m. Monday dead-
line.
Local and national laws state
that all United States citizens who
are 21 years old or over and who
have resided in Michigan at least
six months and in Ann Arbor 30
days or more may vote in the
spring elections if they have reg-
istered.
If an Ann Arbor resident has
moved from one ward to another
he is entitled to vote in one elec-
tion following the move. Other-
wise he may simply call City Clerk
Fred J. Looker to report his ad-
dress change.

NEW ROLES TO 'LOUSE UP':
'Satirist Satirizes on Career
*N
By DAVID KAPLAN
"I write little things down to
entertain myself, and that's how
I started this whole business,"
comedienne Anna Russell said yes-
terday.
Miss Russell appeared in two
performances of her one-woman
show of musical satires at Hill
Auditorium yesterday.
What Next?
"Now I'm thinking about what
to do next. Verdi set some of
Shakespeare's plays to music and
I wonder why he didn't use 'Ham-
let'. It makes a perfect libretto
and I'm toying with the idea."
"I'm also thinking of what other
roles in opera I ca louse up,"
Miss Russell added.
At present, Miss Russell is work-
ing on a song of the Victorian
period, which she describes as
written "to make people feel as
against the average vocalist any-
way. And I'm the joy of vocal
coaches," Miss Russell addea,
Miss Russell feels that her best
audiences are the more musical
ones. "Take the Service Club lad-
ies. They don't know what's go-
ing on. I just love college aud-
iences. I get great fun out of
performing for them because they
are so immersed in learning this
nonsense."
Miss Russell has appeared at a
numerous universities throughout
the country and is planning a
series of pop concerts with con-
ductor David Rose.
After her local appearance, Miss
Russell will appear in Boston's
Symphony Hall, in Toledo, Cleve-

Although most townspeople have

Fraternities May Begin
Cooperative Food Plan
By JOEL BERGER
Beginning next month fraternities may have a cooperative food
buying plan similar to the one which in Ohio State saved fraternities
and sororities at least $125,000 annually on a $750,000 budget.
First, however, the Interfraternity Council House Presidents As-
sembly must approve the plan.
Trial will be given during April and May with two goods pur-
chased under the scheme each month. Only canned orange juice and
canned corn will be purchased cooperatively next month.
Under the full-scale plan, Interfraternity Council fraternity serv-
ices committee chairman Keith- -
Coats, '56E, said yesterday, mem-
ber fraternities would buy their
entire stock of 40 to 50 canned
goods listed in binding contracts
the fraternities will sign.
Meats, Furniture May Be Included
According to Coats, as the plan
amount equal to the cost of the
month's purchases.
If the cost of the month's pur-
chases exceeds the original depos-
it, the fraternity will pay the cost
of the purchases plus the addi-
tional sum. After this, the depos-
