Thalan Prime Minister Receives Honorary Degree His Excellency Field Marshal P. Pibulsonggram, Thailand's prime minister, received an honorary doctor of civil law degree from the University yesterday. It was the first honorary degree awarded the distinguished Asian leader during his good-will tour of the United States. Interested in peacetime uses of atomic energy, the prime minister visited North Campus to view the Phoenix project. Arriving at the Phoenix Memorial Laboratory shortly after 10:30 . a.m., he stepped out of his limou- Wolverine Nine Splits Double Bill Hold First Place Tie With Minnesota Nine By DAVE RORABACHER Rallying in the last inning of both games yesterday, the Michi- gan diamondmen split their dou- ble-header with Minnesota, 3-4 and 6-5. This leaves the two teams still tied for first place in the Western Conference race with identical rec- ords of seven wins and two losses. The exciting nightcap was neck- and-neck down to the finalwire. The Gophers took the early lead before Michigan bounced ahead, 4-2, in the fourth inning. After Minnesota garnered another tally in the fifth the Wolverines came back to score an insurance run in the next stanza which seemingly sewed up the contest. Gophers Don't Quit However, the Gophers refused to lay down and die. Coming to bat in the rain-soaked seventh and final inning, the visitors tallied two scores on a walk and Darrell Cochran's homerun over the left- centerfield fence. A previous extra base hit was narrowly averted by Bruce Fox's thrilling snare of Dick Anderson's hit out to the right- centerfield barrier. In the bottom of the seventh, Fox singled to short followed by Cline who bunted safely between the mound and first. Third base- man Don Eaddy, who had pro- cured only one hit all afternoon, then lined a grounder to the shortstop who fumbled and jug- gled the ball. By this time Fox was streaking toward home. The shortstop final- ly made the throw to the plate but the catcher failed to come up cleanly with the ball and Fox was safe with the winning run. See BASEBALL, Page 3 1U.S.'Attached By Russian Defense Head MOSCOW '(I)-Marsha Georgi Zhukov, Russian defense minist- er, today accused the United States of surrounding the Soviet Union and Red China with military bases "designed for waging atomic war- fare." The former comrade-in-arms of President Eisenhower and Brit- ish Field Marshal Lord Montgom- ery in the campaigns against Nazism signed a four-column article in Pravda in connection with the 10th anniversary of VE Day. Zhukov himself was in East Berlin for the anniversary. He also assailed the United States for using the first atomic bombs against Hiroshima and Na- gasaki killing thousands of "wom- en, children and old men in cities which had no military import- ance."

Accompanied by 60 A crowd of more than 60 per- sons accompanied the greying prime minister on his tour of the atomic energy research facilities. During the tour he took part in a short television interview with1 University President Harlan H. Hatcher. At 11:30 the 10-car police-es- corted caravan arrived in front of Clements Library on South Uni- versity. Accompanying Pibulsonggram in the caravan, which originated in Detroit, were Thai and United States officials. At the Library President Hat- cher presented him with the hon- orary degree while Prof. Hugh Z. Norton of the speech department read a citation. Visit Strengthens Ties The citation stressed that the prime minister "in visiting the Universiy of Michigan, further strengthens the historic ties that have long united in mutual under- standing and trust the peoples of Thailand and the United States." It continued, "Through his visit to the University of Michigan, he gives added recognition to the large number of students from Thailand who look to this institu- tion as their Alma Mater and who return to their homelaid better prepared to serve their people." Hatchers Hold Reception A reception was held in the Hatcher residence following the Library ceremonies. More than 30 Thai students from the Univer- sity were invited as guests. After a luncheon in the Union, the official party left Ann Arbor about 2 p.m. for Wayne Major Airport where, they departed for Niagara Falls, N.Y. Pibulsonggram is accompanied on his United States trip by his wife, daughter and son-in-law, and several Thai dignitaries.

International Week Begins Yesterday's visit to the Univer- sity by Thailand's Prime Minister, Field Marshall P. Pibulsong, mark- ed the beginning of International Week. The week's festivities will last through Saturday when they will culminate in an International Ball, 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Union. Other events planned include a trip to Greenfield Village today anvd an Interational fDinr iiat By PETE ECKSTEIN Ten years ago, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States for less than a month, announced to the world the news it had waited nearly six years to hear. War in Europe had ended. Today, a divided Germany, sov- ereign for less than a week, flexes her economic muscles and prepares to rearm, a full partner with many of her former enemies. Pride in Recovery West German newspapers head- lined the anniversary of the Nazi surrender. Stories mixed sad mem- ories of defeat with pride in the nation's recovery and hope for the future. Girl Student Hurt in Ndew Arb Incident Louise Ann Fiber, '56, was the latest victim of hoodlums in the Arboretum yesterday. Miss Fiber was hurt when a peb- ble from a slingshot hit her in the face. Another incident occuri ed about the same time when Thomas Die- trich, '58, driving in the area, re- ported to police that a car filled with young men attempted to stop him. Detectives and police are pa- trolling the Arboretum this week- end in order to find the cause of the brawls and who is involved. In addition University officials are searching the area in order to prevent trouble. In West Germany, the hope seemed justified. In ten' years, factories, skyscrapers and new homes have grown out of the rub- ble of cities, and a democratic gov- ernment has replaced the rubble of Hitler's Third Reich. But in the East, the reparations- hungry Russians have done their best to loot German economic po- tential, and the swastika has been replaced by the hammer and sickle. Laws Needed The West German Federal Re- public has a long way to go before it will put divisions in the field. More than 100 pieces of legislation must first receive parliamentary approval, and the opposition Social Democrats are determined to fight Chancelor Adenauer's rearmament plans to the end. Though West Germany is the, world's third largest trader, has' a stable currency and more than twice as many autos as before the war, there are still economic prob- lems. Rearmament will be costly, three million new housing units are needed, and nearly a million Germans are unemployed. Refugee Problem Ten million refugees have added to the housing and unemployment problems and also to the demands for unification with the less popu- lous East. The prospect of an Austrian peace treaty has rekindled the Payments Due Subscription payments for The Daily are due now. Failure to pay may result in withholding of credits. hope that Germany may again be one. Many are willing to pay the price of neutrality for unity, de- spite Adenauer's insistence that Germany's, destiny lies with the West. lGrotewoh A nnounces Red 'NA TO"' BERLIN VP) - Communist East Germany's Prime Minister an- nounced in a bellicose speech Sat- urday that a Soviet bloc military alliance to rival NATO will be set up in Warsaw next week. He also said "great prepara- tions" have been made to rearm East Germany, whose so-called' barracks police are now estimated' 100,000 strong. The military alliance plan, fore- shadowed by Moscow announce- ments of the Warsaw conference, calls for rearming East Germany and putting all the armies of East European Communist coun- tries under a unified command. Marks Anniversary E a s t Germany's Communist Prime Minister Otto Grotewohl, made his disclosures at an East Brelin ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of Germany's World War II surrender. "We warn all those who lift their dirty hands against the peaceful reconstruction of our country: Be careful, we strike hard," he said.- which he refused to forecast. Statement to "Clear Things Up" He said yesterday a conference dealt with "scientific problems and programs." In response to report- ers' questions he said he thought today's statement would clear things up so that people will "know what to do Monday morning." Taking part in yesterday's con- ference with Dr. Scheele was Dr. Jonas Salk of Pittsburgh, who de- veloped the vaccine. Others in- cluded Dr. William H. Sebrell, Jr., director of the National Institutes of Health; Dr. James A. Shannon, associate director of the National Institutes and its top research man; Dr. David E. Price, assistant surgeon general, and Dr. W. Palm- er Dearing, deputy surgeon gen- eral. Dr. Scheele, who heads the United States Public Health Serv- ice, declined to comment when told that unconfirmed reports were being broadcast that there was nothing wrong with the vaccine, but that existing supplies should be re-examined. Recommends Postponement "Pending the Sunday announce- ment," the Public Health Service statement said, "the surgeon gen- eral recommended that states and municipalities postpone their vac- cination programs." Doctors in Fort Worth, Tex., said they would refuse to give any more inoculations until they had assurance that every batch of vaccine received there had been comprehensively checked. Like the rest of the nation, Mich- igan waited for a report on the Salk polio vaccine after being stirred by a sudden government recommendation that inoculations be halted temporarily. , The government action led to a rapid switch in plans to give the anti-polio shots to more than 9,- 000 school children in Oakland County. The program there was called off "until the confusion is cleared up." But the State Health Commis- sioner, Dr. Albert Heustis, said Michigan's program should go ahead because "a change now would do more harm than good." Children Get Shots And in Wayne County, some 300 youngsters received makeup shots as scheduled yesterday f r o m Wayne County Health Director Dr. Howard Cadwell. At Ann Arbor, Dr. 'Thomas Francis Jr. who headed the Uni- versity's study of last year's field trials, said that "you can't draw conclusions from my study to fit in with the general program." Dr. Francis " returning from Washington where he was an advi- sor to the medical panel, said "like everybody else" he is waiting for its findings. He cautioned against "free hand projections" on the basis of his studies that last year's tests show-' ed the vaccine was "safe, potent and effective." He noted that the trials were conducted under "rig- id test conditions." CED Suggests Tax Reduction WASHINGTON (M)-A business group which often reflects Eisen- hower administration tax policies strongly suggested yesterday that taxes can be reduced next year by three to five billion dollars. The Committee for Economic Tlnntmm nr in 0 nQf & an f Adenauer, Faure Talk With Dulles By The Associated Press Secretary of State John Foster Dulles discussed mutual problems with top diplomats in Paris yes- terday. On the first anniversary of the fall of Dien Bien Phu to the Reds in North Viet Nam, Secretary Dulles and French Premier Edgar Faure were at odds on how to keep communism from spreading into South Viet Nam. Talks With Adenauer Sec. Dulles also exchanged views for more than an hour with West German Chancellor Konrad Ade- nauer on Western strategy for a Big Four meeting and other vital East-West issues. In a two hour conference in Premier Faure's office he and Sec. Dulles failed to produce a joint policy toward the Saigon gov- ernment of Premier Ngo Dinh Diem and the position of ex-Em- peror Bao Dai, nominal chief of state of South Viet Nam. Diem is officially backed by the United States. British Foreign Secretary Har- old Macmillan joined Dulles and Faure briefly during their talk. Faure told reporters another meet- ing on South Viet Nam will be held tomorrow or Tuesday. The bigger problem of saving all Southeast Asia for the free, world also will come up at a later meeting of these three diplomats. They are also concerned with how to save Formosa from a Red China invasion and how to promote' a cease-fire in Formosa Strait. 'With Sec. Dulles were United States Ambassador Douglas Dil- lon and the embassy's expert on Indochina, William Gibson. Faure had Foreign Minister Antoine Pi- nay and a battery of experts from his office. Chancellor Adenauer met Sec- retary Dulles at the United States Embassy shortly after their ar- rival for the conference of the At- lantic community's foreign min- isters. It was the first official meeting of any of the 15 foreign ministers who have come to Paris for a crowded five-day series of confer- ences. They will welcome a sov- ereign West Germany into the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion and try to weld a common policy toward world problems ranging from Germany to the Far East. Discuss Treaty Chancellor Adenauer and Sec. Dulles talked fof 65 minutes. They touched on the effect of an Aus- trian treaty on Germany and a possible disarmament conference with the Soviets. Adenauer was attending the conferences for the first time as a representative of a sovereign na- tion. His presence could herald the establishment of a new West- ern Big Four-Britain, France, West Germany and the United States.

Interested men may sign for interviews at the offices be- tween 3-5 p.m. PANSIES, VIOLETS, LACE: Mothers Worshipped on Annual Holiday By ERNEST THEODOSSIN Mothers all over the country will be opening gifts today. This forty-first Mother's Day has been designated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as a time "to give public and private expression to the esteem in which our country holds its mothers." Lingerie, corsages and candy will be in order. Mothers can ex- pect anything from frilly slips to potted hydrangeas. Among card manufacturers, Mother's Day seems to be an old-f ash- ioned subject not fit for humor. Pansies, violets and lace were the most customary designs on cards featured in a local store. A Card for Everybody By yesterday afternoon most of the standard "Mother cards were gone. However, there were still many racks filled with cards for "dear aunts, dear grandmothers, dear nieces, dear cousins, dear daughters and dear mothers-in-law." One mysterious card read, "To a special friend on Mother's Day." _ .. :'... Vi i. -s_ :. ,.: I
