'U' Student
Confesses
To Crimes
Ferry Arrested
For Bad Checks
A 27-year-old parttime Univer-
sity student has admitted a bi-
zarre string of crimes to Ann Ar-
bor police.
Charles A. Ferry was arrested
Monday for passing more than a
dozen forged checks totaling ap-
proximately $500.
'U' Registration
It was learned yesterday that
he is registered in the University
under the name, Ferdinand Wil-
liam Ross.
His story, as revealed in a state-
ment to police, is a strange one,
including two car thefts, two burg-
laries, and theft of a friend's wal-
let and identification besides the
check forgeries.
According to his statement,
Ferry left Madison, Wis., where
he was on probation for breaking
and entering, in September. He
went to Des Plaines, Illinois, where
he broke into a -printing company
and stole some blank checks.
Borrows Car
While' drinking in a bar out-
side Chicago, he met a man whose
car he borrowed to drive another
friend home. Instead of return-
ing the car, he drove to Toledo,
O., abandoning the automobile and
boarding a train for New York
City.
Ferry met Ferdinand William
Ross in a New York bar. The
two drove into New Jersey near
Atlantic City, stopping at a mo-
tel. After Ross went to sleep, Ferry
departed with his companion's car
and jacket. Ross' identification
papers were in the wallet in a
pocket of the jacket..
Ferry drove back to New York
continued to New Haven, Conn.,
found himself later in New Hamp-
shire, and drove aimlessly into
Vermont. Near Barre, Vt., he was
involved in an accident and spent
three days in a hospital under
the name of William Ross.
Comes to Ann Arbor
From Vermont, he came to Ann
Arbor in mid-November. He be-
gan cashing no-account checks
on the blanks he had stolen from
the printing company December
12 here.
On December 19, he waited in
St. Andrew's Church until it was
locked up for the night and then
helped himself to blank checks of
the St. Andrew's Seminarian Fund.
Beginning in late January, he
wrote checks on the Fund to
Charles H. Bristol and William
Ross and cashed them at several
local stores. Later he wrote insuf-
ficient funds checks in Ross' name.
In the meantime, hi had regist-
ered at the University in February
as Ross.
Ann Arbor police finally caught
up with him this week. He waiv-
ed municipal court examination
and was ordered to appear Tues-
day for a circuit court hearing.
Bond, which he was unable to
furnish, was set at $2,500.
Hillel Speaker
Notes Issues
Facing Israel
"All you have to do is look at

the map to see the position occu-
pied by Israel in international af-
fairs," Denise Tourover, Washing-
ton representative of "Hadassah,"
stated.
Speaking before the Student
Zionist Organization at Hillel yes-
terday, Mrs. Tourover sees the
Turkey-Iraq co-defense treaty as
one of the most important prob-
lems facing Israel today.
Having received arms from the
United States for protection
against the Communists, Iraq
*might use these weapons against
Israel, according to Mrs. Tour-
over.
Furthermore, when Israel re-
taliates this might put Turkey in
a difficult position. "We will have
to know a lot more about the sit-
uation before we decide whether
the treaty is good or bad," Mrs.
Tourover said in summing up the
situation.

position to absorb Arab refugees



Official Career
Ends for SAC
Reports by IFC, Panhel on Bias
Clauses Heads Crowded Agenda
By GENE HARTWIG
Daily Managing Editor
Student Affairs Committee officially terminated its 46 year career
yesterday.
Heading a crowded agenda were progress reports from Interfra-
ternity Council and Panhellenic Association on the elimination of bias
clauses from fraternity and sorority constitutions.
Nine Such Clauses Remain
Speaking for IFC, retiring Executive Vice-President Jim Walters,
'55E, pointed out that whereas three years ago 16 out of 44 fraternities
on campus had restrictive clauses, at present nine such provisions
remain.
Walters reviewed work initiated in 1952 by IFC with the Acacia
Plan which stipulated that responsibility for removing the clauses rests
with the-individual houses and is not within the scope of other groups
to coerce fraternities through time-limits or other similar provisions.
In line with the Acacia Plan, IFC set up a counseling service to
aid chapters on campus having clauses to work through their other
chapters and national organizations to get rid of the restrictions.
No Active Steps
Walters said that of the nine still having clauses, four are actively

SAC History
By PHYLLIS LIPSKY
In its 46 year history the Stu-
dent Affairs Committee has chang-
ed its name size and membership,
but its purposes remained essen-
tially the same.
The committee which had its
final meeting yesterday will be re-
placed after next week's elec-
tions by the Student Government
Council.
Set up in 1909 by the Univer-
sity Senate under the name Com-
mittee on Non-Athletic Organi-
zations, the group was an inno-
vation in the University's method
of regulating non-athletic student
activities.
In 1914 the nine-man faculty
group changed its name to the
Committee on Student Affairs,
which has remained its official
title ever since.
Students were first given a voice
in its proceedings in 1914, when
the Presidents of Student Coun-
cil and the Women's League were
invited to sit in on meetings with-
out a vote.
Voting membership was not
granted .until 10 years later at
which time three more student
representatives were added: Pres-
ident of the Union, Managing Edi-
tor of The Daily, and one other'
woman student chosen by the
League Board of Directors.
With the rising student popula-
tion, enrollment had hit 11,000,
the office of Dean of Students had
been created in 1921 and the new
dean made Chairman of SAC. By
1926 the group had six faculty rep-
resentatives and the Dean of
Women was an ex-officio member.
Last major change came in 1946
shortly before Student Legislature
came into existence, when two
more student members were add-
ed. The additional seats were
given to a second member of SL
and the Chairman of Joint Judi-
ciary Council. The SL president
took over the old Student Council
seat.

>working through their national or-
ganizations for removal. The re-
maining groups have taken no ac-
tive steps toward removal.
Panhel Vice-President Virginia
Abbey, '55, reported that so far as
local Panhel knows no sorority on
campus has a restrictive clause in
its constitution.
Miss Abbey pointed out, how-
ever, that Panhel has no way of
finding out officially, since sorori-
ty constitution; are not available
to Panhel. They are kept in a con-
fidential file at the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs.
Constitutions Filed
The constitutions are also filed
with National Panhellenic who re-
fuse to release the contents except
as confidential information to Uni-
versity authorities.
Panhel has written their na-
tional organization requesting a
breakdown of sororities that may
have bias clauses upon authoriza-
tion of SAC at their last meeting.
To date no reply has been received.
SAC yesterday requested Dean
of Men Walter B. Rea to look
through the file of sorority consti-
tutions in the Office of Student
Affairs and report to Student Gov-
ernment Council the number of
groups having bias clauses writ-
ten into their charters.
Confirm Contention
The information was asked for
to confirm local Panhel's conten-
tion that no campus sororities have
restrictive clauses.
SAC also granted recognition to
the Academic Freedom Subcom-
mission as an ad hoc group to
sponsor Academic Freedom Week
at the University April 17 to 24.
The subcommission ordinarily
operates under Student Legisla-
ture, but since that group will no
longer be in existence, SAC felt
recognition of the subcommission
would allow plans for the week to
go ahead this year.
Sponsorship Necessary
In the future it will be necessary
for such an activity to gain spon-
sorship or recognition from SGC.
SAC approved the report of the
Student Housing Subcommittee
and passed their recommendation
that a permanent committee re-
sponsible to the vice-president for
student affairs be created to study
the problem of student housing
and to advise him on the coordi-
nation of University policies.
The recommendation will go to

Chinese Isle
Warns of U.S.
, Defense Pledge
WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles said
yesterday the Red Chinese seem
bent on conquering Formosa, but
he warned them the United States
has new "weapons of precision"
which can annihilate their mili-
tary centers.
He said the United States,
pledged to defense of Formosa,
stands ready "to meet hostile
force with the greater force that
we possess."
Not Name Weapons
Secretary Dulles did not name
the new weapons, but he said they
can be so pinpointed as to "utter-
ly destroy military targets without
endangering unrelated civili an
centers."
His mention of not endangering
civilian centers could be taken as
a form of assurance to those -
some American allies among them
-who oppose the use of hydrogen
bombs or conventional A-bombs
as indiscriminate slaughter.
It also could be taken as a warn-
ing to any Red Chinese leaders
who might figure they would be
safe in launching an attack oe-
cause the United States would
never risk world-wide revulsion by
the use of massive atomic or hy-
drogen weapons.
Others Suffice
Secretary Dulles was saying in
effect that there would be no need
to use these ultimate weapons,
that others would suffice.
His speech was a report on his
just-completed tour of Asian
countries and the Far Pacific.
Secretary Dulles said the Unit-
ed States must not let the free
people of Asia get the idea that
"our love of peace means peace at
any price."
Stand Firm
"We must, if occasion offers,
make it clear that we are prepar-
"We must, if occasion offers,
make it clear that we are prepared
to stand firm," he said, "and, if
necessary, meet hostile force with
the greater force that we possess."
"If the Chinese Communists en-
gage in open armed aggression,"
he said, "this would probably
mean that they have decided on
general war in Asia.
A top United States military
leader said yesterday the Commu-
nists are in position to attack the
Nationalist Chinese offshore is-
lands of Quemoy and the Matsus
at any time.
The Chinese Communists have
reinforced air units in the area
and have moved in ground troops
to positions near the islands, the
officer, who cannot be named, told
correspondents.
Market Drops;
Blanking Group
Continues Talk
WASHINGTON (')-The stock
market broke sharply yesterday
following testimony before the
Senate Banking Committee that
stock buying ought to be put on a
cash basis, that there is too much
speculation.
However, Chairman J. William
Fulbright (D-Ark.) of the commit-
tee said of the market drop: "I
think it has no connection what-
ever with the study being made by
this committee."
Attribute to Testimony
Some New York brokers attrib-
uted the selloff in the market to
testimony yesterday by John Ken-

neth Galbraith, professor of eco-
nomics at Harvard University, who
urged "strongest precautionary
measures" to prevent a repetition
of the disastrous market crash
of 1929.
While saying there is too much
speculation, Gaibraith added there
are some "formidable safeguards"
against a 1929-type crash.
Harold E. Wood of St. Paul,
Minn., chairman of the board of
governors of the National Assn. of
Securities Dealers, Inc., followed
Galbraith on the witness stand
and was asked by Fulbright wheth-
er there "is too much speculation
in the present market."
Evidences of Speculation
"There are evidences of specula-
tion and we don't like it," Wood

SL Initiates
New $2,000
Scholarship
The new $2,000 scholarship fund
approved by Student Legislature
last night is unique in its field.
Although there was talk of giv-
ing scholarships only to students
on the new Student Government
Council, the new fund has been
opened for all qualified students
in campus activities.
Specifically Designated
At present all other scholarships
for students in activities are spe-
cifically designated for certain
activities. The Wendy Owen
Scholarship for eligible members
of The Daily staff is an example.
Although a styles committee
appointed last night might make
a few changes inthe plan when it
meets today, the fund now calls
for no scholarships to exceed $450.
A Board of Directors consisting
of the Assistant to the Dean of
Men John E. Bingley, Assistant to
the President Erich Walter, Vice-
president for Student Affairs
James A. Lewis, and four repre-
sentatives of student organiza-
tions will decide who should get
scholarships and ,when awards
will be given.
Criteria Listed
Financial need, participation in
extra-curricular activities, exclud-
ing varsity athletics, and a 2.5
minimum scholastic average will
be criteria for awarding scholar-
ships.
Six hundred dollars now in the
Student Award Fund can be
transferred to the new scholarship
fund Dean Rea said recently.
Joel Tauber, '57, who suggested
the scholarship fund to SL ex-
pressed hope additional funds
could be obtained by getting
sponsorship of the Homecoming
Dance.
Since SGC will be the guiding
force over the scholarship fund
there is a distinct possibility some
Homecoming Dance funds might
be obtained, Tauber said.

At Lunch
BANGOR (P) - Voluntary
lunch hour religious classes,
started this semester in the
Bangor High School, will con-
tinue, the Bangor School Board
decided Monday.
The unanimous vote came as
the board denied a hearing to
Irving Fidelman, resort owner
in South Haven, who objected
that the program violates the
principle of church-state sep-
aration.
The religious instruction
classes are held for those who
wish to attend during the Tues-
day lunch hour.

SALVATION ARMY PROVIDES CLOTHING TO THE NEEDY
Salvation Army Varies,
International Programs
By JIM DYGERT
This week The Salvation Army is celebrating its 75th anniver-
sary in the United States.
Primarily a religious organization with a military form of govern-
ment, The Salvation Army has spread its work throughout the United
States since 1880.
It also carries on Social ,Welfare programs on an international
-scale.

AA Detention
Home Plans
Await OK
Final plans for Washtenaw
County's new juvenile detention
home are expected to go before
the Board of Supervisors for ap-
proval tomorrow.
Superintendent Ruth M. Dana,
chairman of the Supervisors' Ju-
venile Affairs and Probate Court
Committee, said her group will
meet today for final consideration
of the plans for a $110,000 home.
When completed, the home will
eliminate the need for transport-
ing juveniles requiring detention
to neighboring counties. Washte-
naw has been without detention
facilities since 1952.
County electors approved a
transfer of general funds to a spe-
cial building fund for the project
last November.
The structure will be a one-
story, ranch-type building de-
signed to house up to 14 juveniles
on a temporary basis while their
cases are being processed. As many
as 22 may be kept in the quarters
in emergencies.

Formation of Local Corps
One of the places it reaches is
Ann Arbor. The, local corps has
been here since 1896 and in its
present location at 220 E. Wash..
ington since 1927.
Under the large blue sign on the'
corner of Washington and Fifth
Avenue is the center of the Ar-
my's religious and social programs
and its many welfare services.
Religious services are held every
Sunday and during the week for
local members called 'soldiers.' The
Salvation Army is essentially a
spiritual movement based upon the,
Christian creed.
Begun in London
It was begun in London in 1865
by William Booth who had decided
to do something about the desti-
tute and godless people in one of
London's poorest districts.
As most churches, the local corps
has its social program and youth
activities. The Torchbearer Club
is composed of teen-agers who
meet every week for recreational,
social and spiritual activities. The
Guards and the Sunbeams are for
young girls, and are similar to the
Girl Scouts and the Brownies.
A uniqueness about the Salva-
tion Army is its welfare activity.
It is the only recognized agency
that does transient work. A trav-
eler passing through Ann Arbor
may obtain overnight lodging and
meals from the Army.
Family Relief
Another service is emergency
family relief. This entails giving
aid in the form of money, clothing
or food to families temporarily un-
til a regular welfare agency can
take over.
The Ann Arbor corps has, in the
basement of its building, a room
full of clothing which is available
to needy families or transients. For
families or individuals who wish
to retain their independence, the
Army often holds rummage sales
at which clothing may be bought
at low prices.
Receipts from rummage sales
provide one source of revenue with
which to finance the Army's many
services. Besides this, there are the
weekly donations by the soldiers
called 'cartridges' and subsida-
tion by the local Community
Chest.
Ordained Ministers
The local corps is headed by Ma-
jor 0. C. Aaserude and his wife,
both of whom are >rdained minis-
ters. Much of the administrative
work is done by the office secre-

To Free 'U
Teachers' Rights
Forum Dropped
By DAVE BAAD
After more than 10 hours dis-
cussion, spanning five meetings,
Student Legislature disposed of its
remaining $4,500 last night.
The action coming at precisely
9:02 p.m. highlighted what proved
to be SL's last official meeting.
By a vote of 24 to one with two
abstentions, SL voted to give $2,-
000 to a scholarship fund for stu-
dents in activities;
$1,000 to a trust fund for stu-
dent government in case Student
Government Council doesn't sur-
vive its probation;
$1,500 to the Free University of
Berlin.
Paul Dormont, '55, registered
the only vote against the motion
with Harlan Givelber, '57, and Si
Silver, '58, abstaining.
Faculty Forum Cancelled
Givelber told SL last night plans
for a faculty forum discussing
"Teachers' Rights and Responsi-
bilities" had been dropped.
The forum committee was un-
able to obtain faculty speakers on
the issue.
Prof. Edwin Mose of the mathe-
matics department, to talk on the
'liberal' side, was the only profes-
sor contacted who agreed to take
a side on the issue.
David Levy, '57, and Joan Bry-
an, '56, called the failure prepos-.
terous considering the:numberof
professors at the University.
Since the Legislature is going
out of existence, it voted to refer
the forum problem to SOC.

its grand finale banquet at 6

ley, SL President Ned Simon,

versity program before delegating
money to the Free University was
withdrawn by the maker of the
motion.
Dormont received a telegram
yesterday saying the books he al-
leged contained anti-Polish and,
anti-Semitic bias, were not sent by
the Free University.
The Free University said it did
not know where the books came
from.
Since the content of the books
was the basis for his proposed in-
vestigation of the program, Dor-
mont dropped the motion.
Donna Netzer, 66, criticizing the
Free University committee for fail-
ing to check the source of the
books immediately, said an apology
or explanation for the mixup
should be sent to the Free Univer-
sity.
Styles Committee
Possible deficiencies in the ten-
tative organization of the approv-
ed scholarship plan will go before
a styles committee today.
The committee will report
changes to SL tonight In a short
meeting after the banquet.
Excepting an eloquent effort by
Bo' Chigrinsky '55, SL's last
meeting was almost devoid of fare-

well speeches possibly expected
from an organization going offi-
cially out of existence.
Ned Simon, '55, will speak to-
night at the banquet.

morous speech in serious fashion

World News Roundup
By The Associated Press
LANSING-The presidents of state supported institutions of
higher education made personal appeals yesterday to legislators to
start preparing for an expected doubling of college enrollments by
1970.
Led by the presidents of the University of Michigan and Michi-
gan State College, the institutional heads reported officially at a leg-
islative dinner on education and economic studies pointing up the
enrollment problem.
University President Harlan H. Hatcher, said the figures show
"that in 1970 Michigan will be able to pay for the education of the
children massed on these charts."
The surveys showed that the present enrollment of 99,000 stu-
dents will increase to at least 167,000 by 1970 and easily can go to
215,000.

National Council Supports
Zionists' Orchestra Protest

C..

By DAVID KAPLANV
The Student Zionist's protest
against the campus appearance
Tuesda of the Berlin Philhar-
monic Orchestra was reaffirmed
by the National Student Zionists.
Meeting in executive session in
New York over the weekend, the
National Executive Council sup-
ported the local chapter's action.
David Dar.sky, '56, representing
the central states and the Uni-
versity chapter, attended the
meeting.
Chapters Encouraged
The Council encouraged other
university chapters to take sim-
ilar action regarding the Orches-
tra.
"We do' not deny any group the
right to bring a speaker or per-

of what has been called the great-
est crime against humanity-the'
attempted near destruction of 2,000

which included the massacre of
6,000,000 Jews."
"We protest," the Council said,
"through an appeal to the intel-
lectual and moral conscience of the
student body. We ask them not to
attend the concert."
Rabbi Julius Weinberg of the
Beth Israel Center received a copy
of the protest sent by the Detroit
Jewish Community to the State
Department.
