Joint Tax Cut
Fight Asked
By Senator
Knowland Asks
Democrat Help
WASHINGTON (P) - Sen. Wil-
liam R. Knowland (R-Calif) yes-
terday challenged Democrats re-
sisting a proposed military man-
power cut to join Republicans in
their fight to kill a $20-a-person
income tax reduction.
But Sen. Walter F. George (D-
Ga), who announced he will op-
pose the tax cut voted by the
House, indicated clearly he will be
open to compromnise suggestions if
the House refuses to go along with
the Senate's expected rejection of
the measure.
Sen. Harry Byrd (D-Va), chair-
man of the Senate Finance Com-
mittee, which stripped the $20
provision from an administration
tax bill, said he would "fight to
the utmost" against, any revenue
loss now.
Wrong Time
Sen. Knowland, the GOP floor
leader, said the income tax cut the
House passed would cost the
Treasury $2;200,000,000 revenue at
"an inappropriate time." It would
be effective next Jan. 1.
",Democrats who have been ad-
vocating that the military forces
be expanded can hardly support a
tax cut now," he said.
"Pay increase legislation which
is pending in Congress for Postal
workers and Civil Service workers
is going to require additional
funds.
Sees Fund Need
"To have a loss of revenue under
such circumstances wouldn't be
constructive or responsible han-
dling of the fiscal affairs of the
government."
President Eisenhower asked for
a year's extension of corporation
and excise taxes expiring April 1
which yield about three billion
dollars,
se n a te Finance Committee
knocked out this section and Sen.
George, a key member, said he is
worried that if it comes, to a Sen-
ate-House showdown the whole
bill might be jeopardized.
JUDIC
IeasAskCed
On Late Per
Plans in Poll
"Do you find any fault with the
present system of late permissions
or would you, for any reason, like
to see it changed?"
This question heads a Women's
Judiciary Council survey on late
permission for women students.
Judic members will -visit women's
residences this week to explain and
discuss the suvey which offers
two alternatives to the present
system.
The first plan would give each
undergraduate woman a specified
number of automatic late permis-
sions to be taken at any time she
chooses on Sunday through Thurs-
day nights.
Beyond Regular Permission
These permissions, the survey
says, would be "beyond those regu-
larly given for University events."
Sally Stahl, '55, chairman of Wom-
en's Judic, pointed out that such
extensions in hours could be taken
for any reason the student
chooses.
Student opinion on the details of
the plan is also sought. The survey
asks how late women would like
these late permissions to be, how
many should be granted per se-
mester, and how many the stu-
dent thinks she will actually use
each semester.
A total of two hours of late per-
mission time per week is sug-
gested in the second proposal. The
time would be taken in 15 minute
blocks so that a student could sign
out for 15 minutes past closing
time, half an hour or if she chose
take the full two hours on a single
night.

'PAGANINI INTERPRETER':
Violinist Francescatti Sets
Performance Tomorrow
Zino Francescatti, famous violin
virtuoso, will be beard at 8:30 p.m.
tomorrow in Hill Auditorium.
Acclaimed as the "peerless inter-
preter of Paganini" Francescatti
wastaught by his father, who was
a pupil of Sivori, the only direct
pupil Paganini ever had.
On October 12, 1953, in a gala
Paganini - Columbus celebration
Francescatti played Paganini's vi-
olin, the first time it had been
played since it had been willed by
Paganini to the city of Genoa,
more than a hundred years before.
Debut in 1939
In 1939, when Francescatti made
his American debut with the New
York Philharmonic Symphony, he
played the Paganini Concerto in D.
For his contributions to music
the French in 1949 elected him a
Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
Francescatti owns the famous
"Hart" Stradivari. Dated 1727, the
violin is one of the finest examples
of the violinmaker's art, and it
has a rich and brilliant tone.
Program Told
Tomorrow night's concert will
include the Sonata in A major, Op.
100 by Brahms, Sonata in C ma-

Predicts Increase
In Counties' Power
County government may need
to increase power in order to
handle sanitation problems aris-
ing from extensive urbanization,
Gov. G. Mennen Williams pre-
dicted yesterday.
In an unexpected visit to the
final session of three-day Public
Health Conference, Gov. Williams
said that solutions health officials
find to sanitation problems "may
lead to a new concept in govern-
ment."
Pointing specifically to water
supply and public health problems
in heavily populated Wayne and
Macomb counties, the governor
said sanitation improvement ques-
tions "suggest a need for revising
our general government organiza-
tions between municipal units."
"I think there are many solu-
tions on the local level which we
haven't fully explored," he said of
problems involving chronic illness.
Urging rapid development along
this line, Gov. Williams said many
solutions shoulti not be handled
as a state but services to. local
communities should be more wide-
ly understood.
Labor Party
Divided by
Bomb Plan
U.S. Increasing
Secret Exchange
LONDON (I)-"Which way shall
we turn to save our lives?"
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill voiced the question of
the nuclear age this week and
gave his own answer with the an-
nouncement Britain is building its
own H-bombs to help keep Russia
afraid of war.
News has given rise to uneasy
fear in bomb-scarred Britain.
It has split the opposition Labor
party wide open on H-bomb policy,
with Leftwinger Aneurin Bevan
again differing with the party
leaders.
It has led to intense speculation
-that Churchill is personally try-
ing to set up a British-American
partnership in developing H-
bombs ahd guided missiles to de-
liver them.
Sparks Red Drive
It hasssparked what looks like a
Russian propaganda campaign to
intensify America's uneasiness
about disclosing nuclear weapons
secrets to the British.-
A' great national debate and
talk-fest rages around the Church-
ill speech. In pubs, homes, politi-
cal meetings, wherever Britons
met, the H-bomb was a prime top-
ic. A common talking point was
that Soviet bombers are only a few
hours flying time
In spite of the fears, Churchill's
policy and his dramatic exhorta-
tion-"Never flinch, never weary,
never despair"-clearly had won
him the backing of the majority.+
U.S. Chiefs Sanction
Meanwhile, in Washington, top
U.S. officials believe a greater ex-
change of atomic information with
Britain would be profitable to both
countries. But they are a long way
from swapping secrets about how
to manufacture hydrogen bombs
or other weapons.
Informants said yesterday that
if trading of hydrogen bomb infor-
mation is what the British are
aiming for now they are heading
for disappointment. How'ever, they
also said that realistic British offi-
cials are undoubtedly too familiar
with the U.S. attitude to be really
optimistic about the chances for
such a swap.
Ask Scientists'
Ideas on Atom
Peacetime Use
American scientists are being
asked to submit papers for con-
sideration for reading at the Unit-
ed Nations' International Confer-
ence on "Peacetime Uses of Atomic
Energy" at Geneva, Switzerland
from Aug. 8-20, 1955.
Assistant Director Henry J.
Gomberg of the Phoenix Project
said that scientists who have been
working on peacetime uses of atom
energy should submit abstracts of
the paper to Dr. Paul W. McDan-
iel, Office for the International
Conference, Atomic Energy Com-
mission, Washington 25, D.C. by
March 11.
Abstracts should not be more
than 500 words, but are to contain
a full description of the paper's
content. Instructions for the pa-
pers may be obtained at the Phoe-
nix Project Office, Rm. 118 of the
Rackham Building. The Engineer-
ing Research Institute, Chemical
Engineering and Physics depart-
ments also have these instruction
sheets. A copy of detailed instruc-
tions can be examined at these
places.
Topics such as the need for new
power sources, questions on the
economics of nuclear power,
health and safety aspects, use of
isotopes, research and power reac-
tors, biological and medical as-
pects are included in the list of
possible papers.

To Decide Future

to decide whether she wants to
stay on as a palace princess or

He is the much-decorated Royal
Air Force hero whose eligibility
is handicapped by a divorce and
his age-40.
First Crown Since 1945
It was Michigan's first cham-
pionship since 1945, and its stag-
;ering total of 67% points was the
highest since 1944, when the Wol-
verines, at the height of their
power, scored a record 75%.
A host Michigan State team
pulled a big surprise by finishing
second with 46%/2 points. Indiana's
Hoosiers took third with 38%, and
Illinois, defending champion and
four-time winner, submerged to
the fourth spot with 24.
They were trailed by Wiscon-
sin, 21, Ohio State, 15, Iowa, 111/2,
Northwestern, six and Minne-
sota with one. Purdue failed to
enter the scoring column.
Pete Gray of Michigan was one
of three double winners. He took
the 1,000-yard run with a 2:18.7
clocking and thirty minutes later
repeated in the 880. His time in
the latter race was 1:54.7.
Moule Triumphs
John Moule, who was heavily
favored to win the mile run, didn't
let down the prognosticators, and
crossed the tape in 4:21.3. The
time was considerably slower than
had been expected, but this was
because none of " the runners set
a fast pace. It was strictly a duel
between Moule and Iowa's Rich
Ferguson.after the half-mile was
completed, but the former pulled

Administration
SecurityPlan
IWASHINGTON (P)--The Eisen-
hower administration revised the
controversial system of security
firings yesterday.
It said its aim is to assure "fair
and impartial treatment" of sus-
pected federal workers.
The new rules, which did not go
as far as many critics demanded,
were drafted by Atty. Gen. Herbert
Brownell and aides. President Ei..
senhower directed that they be
put into effect.
Aimed at uniform procedure
throughout the executive branch,
the rules provide among other
things:
Charges should be "specific
enough to be meaningful to em-
ployes." There have been com-
plaints that in some cases charges
were so general that the accused
could not draft a defense.
Subordinate officials should not
be given the filial say on whether
an employe is to be suspended.
Various agencies should take
steps to "avoid conflicting evalua-
tions." This was aimed at the case
of Wolf Ladejinsky, tabbed a se-
curity risk by one agency and
cleared by. two others.
The administration moved for
better coordination after a fur-
ore arose last December over the
'Ladejinsky case.
