V' Grant Bill
A grant of $3,728,000 for Unt-
versity construction has been
recommended in the capital out-
lay bill introduced recently by the;
State Senate Appropriations Com-
mittee.
While Gov. G. Mennen Wil-
11ams had asked the legislature
for $36,000,000, the bill for all
state institutional construction
provides only $13,617,058.
Recommendation for the Uni-'
versity includes provisions for
completion of the automotive en-
gineering building, planning of the
engineering laboratories, start of
the undergraduate library, plan-
ning for the first unit of the med-
ical science building and purchase
and planned conversion of the
Ann Arbor High School into a so-
cial science and language build-
ing.
Called 'Forward-Looking'
University President Harlan
Hatcher termed the proposed
grant "very forward-looking."
"While there are several plans
which the bill will postpone," he
said, "considerable inroad on some
of the more pressing items has
been made."
President Hatcher said that the
University was "hoping for ap-
propriations on a new medical and:
new dental building. In view of she
the circumstances, however, I

Ike Enabled
To Establish
Tariff Cuts
niendnents Fail;
House Passage Seen
WASHINGTON MP)-The Senate
last night overwhelmingly passed
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
foreign trade bill, empowering
him to cut American tariffs to
spur world commerce.
Approval came on a 75-13 rol
4 Icall vote.
It was a big victory for the
President on what he has called
a key measure in the effort to bol-
ster the free world against com-
munism. The Senate beat back
several attempts to alter the leg-
islation from the floor.
Goes to House Conference
The bill now goes to conference
with the House but the President
is assured of success on these ma-
jor provisions since they have been
ill approved by both branches:
1. An extension of the 21-year-
old Reciprocal Trade Agreements
La t unh0,1 58 he present,
Lact expires June 12 this year.
2. New power to cut tariffs 15
per cent in three successive 5 per
cent steps ovei the extension peri-
od. He may use these to win trade
concessions from other nations.
'This gives the President new
as tariff-cutting powers for the first
time in 10 years.
ctshe The Senate rejected a nunber
the of amendments both to add new
restrictions to the bill and to lib-
es- eralize it.
rrv Amendments Fall
Sen. Mathew M. Neely (D-WVa)
pleaded in vain for an amendment
4 which would have limited oil im-
ports to 10 per cent of domestic
consumption. Imports reached a
level of 13.6 per cent last year.

may
hear the beginning of what could
result in a long range rehabilita-
tion plan for "blighted districts."
Council president Prof. A. D.
Moore of the electrical engineering
department called the program to
redevelop certain districts "wholly
tentative," but addedhe may ask
the planning commission to make
a study of the areas in question at
the next council meeting, May 16.
Housing Official Tours
Prof. Moore commented follow-
ing discussions with Housing and
Home Finance Agency representa-
tive James W. Follin on Tuesday.
Follin, a 1913 University gradu-
ate, toured the city with Prof.
Moore, Mayor William E. Brown,
Jr., City Planning Director Ray C.
Eastman, and Planning Commis-
sion Chairman, John E. Swisher.
"What we have done," the
Council president said, "is to look
at the blighted area. We think well
of the plan, but the rest is far
ahead and requires much plan-
ning."
Prof. Moore indicated that a
plan must be made of the area and
proposals for rehabilitation for-
warded before the government will
approve any aid.
Major location under consider-
ation is the area bounded by Main,
Ann, Depot, and Detroit Sts.
"Mild" in Comparison
The "blight" in the area is "mild
compared to the bad areas of big
cities," Prof. Moore said, "But
blighted areas tend to get pro-
gressively worse, not better."
He said the Planning Commis-
sion may be asked to study the
area and report back to the coun-
cil. Steps then could be taken to
} obtain federal aid.
Funds Available
Follin told the four officials that
funds are available through his
department to finance planning
costs in redevelopment. The Hous-
ing official added the government
would provide two-thirds of the
t costs if and when the city's final
plan for rehabilitation was drawn
up.
The plan would have to be car-
ried out on an area basis, with the
town being divided into several
areas.

R'usset Award Given
To Nuclear Researcher
Donald Glaser, assistant professor of physics, was announced win=
ner of the 1954-55 Henry Russel Award yesterday by University Presi-
dent Harlan Hatcher.
The annual honor is presented to the instructor or assistant pro-
fessor whose work as a teacher or researcher is outstanding and holds
great promise for the future. Prof. Glaser is on leave from Brookhav-
en National Laboratory, Upton, Long Island.
This year's Award was conferred prior to the 30th Henry Russel
-lecture delivered by Dean George
Granger Brown of the College of
Engineering.
In presenting the citation dur-
ing the Rackham amphitheater
convocation, President H a t c h e r
said, that "Dr. Glaser has devel-
oped a new tool for nuclear re-
search ,the b u b b l e chamber,
which is revolutioniing the investi-
gation of high-speed particles."
In his lecture on "Future
Sources on Power," Dean Brown
outlined the increasing possibilities
of nuclear and solar power.
Anticipated increases in popu-
lation and rapid consumption of
the present important energy
sources, said. Dean Brown, will
bring about a gradual change in
the world's pattern of energy con-
sumption.
Greater use will be made of elec-
triciky from central atomic plants,
such as in the heating and air
conditioning of homes and the
powering of cars, he said.
"The trackless trolley may again
return to the highways, and pri-
vate cars might take their power
from an overhead line supplied
from a central power station," he
added.
Switching to the subject of solar.
Fraternity Council had taken over
in the interim between Student
Legislature and SGC.
Leacock also suggested that the
Council study the exchange pro-
gram to make it as flexible as
possible and as representative of
the social, cultural and intellec-
tual life of the University.
