Michigan's baseball squad final-
I ly got its hitting power organized
to slug out a twin victory over
Wisconsin's Badgers yesterday aft-
ernoon at Ferry Field.
A masterful pitching job by
Marv Wisniewski helped the Wol-
verines to a 3-1 win in the first
game while, in the second en-
counter, a sixth-inning fiasco of
seven hits, including a home run
and a double, enabled the Maize
and Blue to record an overwhelm-
ing 11-4 triumph.

No Danger. ..
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - There is
no need to worry about radioac-
tive fallout from atomic tests in
Nevada, experts said yesterday.
"Fallout, even in communities
f near the test site, has never ap-
proached a level that is a health
hazard," declared Dr. John Von
Neuman, a member of the United
1 tates Atomic Energy Commission.
'Shortsighted' . . .
k.WASHINGTON -- CIO Presi-
dent Walter P. Reuther said yes-
terday critics of the residential
kbuilding boom are "shortsighted,"
and he urged continuance of the
present high construction rate.
"Only a handful of shortsighted
individuals who cannot be per-
suaded that a constantly expand-
ing and prospering America is
possible fear rising production and
look upon a decline in various seg-
ments of our economy as healthy,"
Reuther said.

Committee has found a wide-

Guards Released , . .
BERLIN -- The Communist East
German government announced
last night the release of four Ger-
man custom guards kidnaped
with their speed boat from West
Berlin two days ago.
Their release was announced by
the Ministry of the Interior a few
hours after publication of a vig-
orous protest by the Western com-
mandants of the city to Soviet au-
thorities, demanding the immedi-
ate return of both craft and crew.
The announcement was carried by
the official East German news
service.
Bricker Amendment.. .
WASHINGTON - Sen. Thomas
C. Hennings (D-Mo) called yes-

hower in opposition to the treaty-
curbing Bricker Amendment.

Four Questions
1. Are you in favor of general
elections?
2. Are you for unification of the
armies?
f 3. Do you want the reconquest
of our total sovereignty and final
consolidation of our independence?
4. Do you wish a program of so-
cihl reform including agrarian re-
form, public works enlargement,
freedom of the press and develop-
ment of the country's economy?
Unification Needed
In ordering the referendum
Diem gave in to the insistence of
the various political parties, reli-
gious sects and members of his
own cabinet on the need for gen-
eral elections to unify the coun-
try.
For weeks the premier has been
under pressure by politico-religious
groups to resign. His Nationalist
army has engaged in street bamt-
tles with the private army of the
Binh Xuyen society, a political
organization of ex-river pirates.
U.S. Support
But he still has the support of
the United States, which has un-
dertaken a multimillion-dollar
military and land reform program
in South Viet Nam.

Wisniewski Goes Route
Wisniewski's steady pitching
performance was a gratifying sight
as he managed to go all the way,
the first time that any hurler has
done so during the regular season.
He was able to garner seven strike-
outs while issuing only four passes.
He never allowed more than two
men to get on base in any one
inning.
During this time WisniewskiI
was ably backed up at the plate as
his teammates scored three runs
on ten hits.
The initial Wolverine run came
when Howie Tommelein singled to
open the second inning and thenI
advanced to third when a throw,
to prevent him from stealing sec-
ond went wild. He scored on catch-
er Gene Snider's base hit.

on the question of relaxing ten-
sion in the Formosa area.
"The Chinese people are friend-
ly to the American people," Chou
told the 29-nation Asian-African
conference. "The Chinese people
do not want war with the Unitedl
States of America.
Willing to Discuss
"The Chinese government is wil-
ling," Chou continued, "to sit down
and enter into negotiations with
the United States to discuss the
question of relaxing tensions in
the Far East, especially the ques-
tion of relaxing tension in the Tai-
wan (Formosa) area."
There was little elaboration3
from the Communist side.
Colombo Powers
Chou's statement was issued by!
his press representative following
an informal luncheon attended by
representatives of India, Indo-
nesia, Burma, Pakistan, Ceylon,
Thailand, the Philippines and Red
China, where the subject of For-
mosa was discussed.
The first five nations named arej
the Colombo powers who sponsored
the Asian-African conference.
Premier U Nu of Burma, who
has assumed the role of an East-
West negotiator, was among those
who received Chou's statement fa-,
vorably.I
Asked whether he thought the
United States would accept Chou's
offer of negotiations, U Nu re-
plied :
"Yes, I think so. That is also the
opinion of all five Colombo states.
I feel very strongly that direct1
talks between the two states will
be helpful.''
Indonesian Premier Ali Sastroa-
midjojo expressed hope also the
United States would accept.
There was no immediate com-
ment from India's Prime Ministerr
Jawaharlal Nehru.r
A spokesman for the Peiping"
delegation, asked if Chou would
have anything to add to the state-
ment, replied "we will now awaitt
a response." A reporter asked if
the statement meant Red Chinat
wished a 10-power conference suchE
as Russia had once proposed. Thei
spokesman answered sharply: "We {
want direct negotiations,"

peared before a closed session of.

"Ask Eisenhower and Eden
about the date," Bulganin replied.
"I have made my position clear."
"Do you mean by your state-
ment you are of a positive attitude
toward a Big Four meeting?" Bul-
ganin was asked.
The Soviet premier nodded in
assent.
In Washington, State Depart-
ment officials were inclined, in-
formally, to treat Bulganin's re-
mark as an offhand one. They
said the trend of events points to-

highest level but added it is pre-
