West German
Upper House
Ratifies Pact
Paris Agreements
Approved, 29.9
BONN, Germany (/fP) - West
Germany's Bundesrat approved
yesterday the Paris treaties to arm
500,000 Germans on the side of
the West.
The vote was 29-9. It completed
the parliamentary action required
in Bonn.
Also accepted was an agreement
with France to Europeanize the
coal-rich Saar Valley. All the
treaties now go to President Theo-
dor Heuss for his signature. The
Bundestag approved them Feb. 27.
Fate Up to France
West German ratification leaves
the fate of the rearmament trea-
ties largely up to France. The par-
liaments of nine nations have now
given the treaties approval. The
six which have yet to complete
parliamentary action on the Paris
Streaties are Belgium, Denmark,
France, Luxembourg, the Nether-
lands and the United States.
The French Senate, where the
issue is in doubt, will start debat-
ing the treaties Wednesday, with
x a vote slated Friday.
New Challenge
A new challenge to the treaties
developed yesterday when the op-
position Socialists announced they
Sare filing a suit in the Constitu-
tional Court against the Saar pact.
The Socialists said they have re-
cruited sufficient parliamentary
support for the suit. They need
the signatures of at least one-
third, or 163, of the Bundestag
members.
If accepted by the court, the
suit could jeopardize the entire
Paris treaty package. The. Saar
pact is tied to the rearmament
treaties, and the French have been
insistent on approval of the whole
bundle, or nothing.
Under the Paris treaties, West
Germany would receive national
sovereignty, the right to create a
defense force of a half-million
men designed for atomic war, and
join the North Atlantic Alliance
and a seven-nation West Euro-
pean military union.

Byrd Jolts Highway Plan
WASHINGTON-Sen. Harry F.
Byrd (D-Va.) delivered yesterday
what many legislators considered
a jolting blow to the Eisenhower
Administration's highway building
plan.
He said it would give the fed-
eral government "dictatorial con-
trol" over roads, and that a pro-
posed 21 billion dollar bond issue
amounted to financial "legerde-
main."
Y Senators Argue
WASHINGTON-Sens. William
Fulbright (D-Ark.) and Homer
Capehart (R-Ind.) angrily accused
each other yesterday of playing
politics in the Senate Banking
Committee's stock market inquiry.
Capehart set off the exchange
by accusing Fulbright, the com-
mittee's chairman, of seeking "to
harass the Eisenhower Adminis-
tration and to harass business."
Hatoyama Re-Elected

TOKYO-Prime Minister Ichiro
Hatoyama won reelection in a mid-
night session of the Diet (Parlia-
ment) last night and promptly re-
appointed most of his Conserva-

During their meeting yesterday
the Regents accepted a report
from the Board of Governors of
the Residence Halls, making final
a $50 rise in room and board rates
starting in September.
Average room and board rates as
a result of the action will be $754
following the raise, with double
rooms costing $750 and Singles
$810.
Compared With 1939-40
In comparison, 1939-40 rates
were $382 for a man's double room
and $402 for a double for women.
After the $50 raise is levied, the
charge for room and board for
men will be approximately 96 per
cent higher and for women 86 per
cent higher than in the 1939-40,
school year.
In the same period, the cost of;
living has increased 92 per cent.
Of the $50 increase, $15 will be '
used to meet social security tax
payments for quadrangle em-
ployes. The remaining $35 will be
used to speed up retirement of
revenue bonds issued to finance
construction of existing dormitor-'
ies.

University Regents yesterday re-
quested the State Legislature to
hold a public hearing on the pro-
posed name change of Michigan
State College.
Their move was in response to
action taken Thursday by the
House Committee on Education.
The Committee reported out a bill
designed to change MSC's name to
Michigan State University.

They reached no. agreement-
MSC officials remaining for the
name change and the University
Regents steadfastly opposed to

steel, all officials agreed to keep
secret the results of the meeting
until they could report back to
their schools.
However, within an hour after
the meeting closed, the House
Committee on Education, chaired
by Rep. John J. McCune, reported
out a bill in favor of changing
MSC's name to Michigan State

In yesterday's formal statement,
passed without dissenting votes,
the Regents said "We are sur-
prised that the House Committee
on Education took 'ration prema-
turely reporting out a bill by a
vote of 5 to 4 favorable to a change
of name for the Michigan State
College of Agriculture and Ap-
plied Science."
. The statement continued, "This
was done before the position of the
Regents on the bill had been heard
by the Committee. It had been our
understanding that no action
would be taken b, the House
Committee until after the State
Board of Agriculture and the Re-
gents had received the report of
their committees studying the pro-
posal.
"In view of this hasty action, we
request the House Committee on
Education to recall the bill and
give us an opportunity to present
the University's reasons for oppos-
ing the name of Michigan State
University for Michigan State
College."
Reasons for Opposition
Regent Bonisteel reported the
results of the meeting with the
State Board of Agriculture's com-
mittee. "We explained there was
no objection to the name universi-
ty," he said, "just to the name
Michigan State University, since
it would seriously interfere with
the name University of Michigan."
Later he asserted that "175,000
alumni have acquired something of
a vested right in the name Uni-
versity of Michigan, which is not
to be confused with the name
Michigan State University."
Regent Bonisteel cited the for-
mal University statement which
concluded "The Regents also feel
that the two boards should further
discuss the problem with a view
to finding a university name ap-
propriate and acceptable to Mich-
igan State and not in conflict with
the name of the University of
Michigan."
Regent Eckert, who attended the
Thursday meeting in Lansing, said
the MSC officials showed "no in-
clination" to accept any name oth-
er than Michigan State Univer-
sity.
