Many of the victims were school children returning from a gay out- ing when the disaster struck the Shiun Maru in the fog-shrouded seas. Panic broke out as the strick- en ferry sang within five minutes. The Japan National Railways, after a recheck, reported an esti- mated 29 missing and 775 rescued. Some of the rescued were injured. "It was just a horrible dream," said Mrs. Bernadine Adams, 33 year old Junction City, Wis. wom- an. -She and her husband Willis were the only -non-Japanese aboard. "It all happened so fast, It was awful to see those people dying." Mrs. Adams who was injured, and her husband managed to make it over the side of the sinking ferry and were picked up after nearly a half hour in the cold waters. Many of the missing were grade school girls who ignored the fran- tic pleading of their teachers and dashed back into their cabins to ,r retrieve belongings and gifts they had purchased. We heard our ferry blow its s whistle," Mrs. Adams said. "Then we heard another ship whistle. Next thing we heard was the ships ramming together. It wasn't much of a jolt. Everybody started to run and shout." Phi Kappa Phi Gives Awards Phi Kappa Phi, national honor- ary society, initiated 222 members at its annual dinner last night in the Union Baliroom. Prof. Roy S. Swinton of the en- gineering mechanics department, National President of Phi Kappa Phi, presented the annual Schol- astic Awards. They went to Mrs. Sandra L. G. Silver, '56, and Jere H. Brophy, '55E. Each award is valued at $1500. Prof. George H. .Forsythe, Jr. of the fine arts department then ad- dressed the society on "Archaeo- logical Explorations in Turkey." During his talk, he'exhibited var- ious slides which he took on his recent trip to the Near East. Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, and has since grown to include 70 chapters at colleges throughout the United States, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands. It has a total of 80,000 members, and selects students from the up- per 10 per cent of their class on a purely scholastic basis. Graduate and undergraduate students from all schools and colleges are eli- gible for membership. Vulcan Calls Mighty Vulcan, holding court in his forge, Mt. Aetna, sat em- bittered at man's misuse of his beloved fire. Then now comes to his faithful followers, saying. "Mighty Vulcan, hear these candidates for admis- sion t our Sacred order." These, ? heinf fninans the nly forms of 1 i I three additional board members from the city; this is expected later in the week. Other Board Members Already named are Prof. John Kohl of the civil engineering de- partment and Prof. Roger Heyns of the psychology department as faculty board members. Adminis- tration members are Vice-Presi- dent Lewis and Karl Streiff, As- sistant to the Dean of Men. At last night's SGC meeting, those selected for the Cinema Guild Board were also named.

Those for the half-year terms are Roger Dalton, '58E, Lois Union, '57, Car- ol Dumond, '57, and Harlan Givel- ber, '57 (treasurer). The §tudent Book Exchange Manager will be Ian MacDonald, '56E, and Bill Haney, '58, will be assistant. Petitioning Change Motion Discussion of changing petition- ing procedures for some commit- tees drew debate. It was said that "open" or continual petitioning throughout the year would bring more students into SGC. However, it was argued, a defi- nite petition time would permit the closer examination of all pros- pective members. Tomn Bleha, '56, made a motion that "all appointments requiring SOC approval be submitted" to SGC to "allow a sufficient time to each and all" students so they may "avail themselves of the apparatus required for appointment. This motion was passed. Anti-Discrimination Board SGC adopted last night the Anti-Discrimination Board which existed under Student Legislature. The board will include seven stu- dents, two campus and one down- town businessmen, and a represen- tative each from the Administra- tion and the Ann Arbor Civic Forum. Petitions for students positions on this board open today and run until May24. A group headed by Bob Wein- baum, '56, will meet with represen- tatives from Michigan State on May 20 to talk over methods of alleviating the more violent as- pects of the rivalry. Bulletin WASHINGTON (Pd-The United States yesterday pro- tested that an attack by Red Chinese jet planes on eight U.S. Air Force fighters off Korea was "unwarranted and Illegal." The State Department said Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Unit- ed Nations commander in Korea, was instructed to lodge this strong protest with the Military Armistice Commission in Korea. Eight U.S. Air Force Sabre- jets shot down two and probab- ly three of an estimated 12 to 16 Communist planes which jumped them Tuesday oer in- ternational waters, according to the Air Force report. ElA Starts Permanent Machinery By ERNEST THEODOSSIN Steps have been taken to set up the Fraternity Buying Association as a permanent campus organi- zation. The FBA, designed to provide co-operative food buying for fra- ternities, last night held its final organizational meeting at the League to put m'achinery in mo- tion. Treasurers and stewards of 30 fraternities attended. Under present arrangements. the FBA board of directors is com- posed of five fraternity alumni, six students and Inter-Fraternity Purchasing Committee Chairman Mike Barber, '57. Will Sign Contracts According to Barber, teams of one student and one alumnus will make the rounds of fraternities next week to talk with fraternity stewards. The stewards will be asked to sign contracts with the FBA whereby the association would purchase goods and services for the fraternity. Each fraternity would pay $150 by December 1 to provide the organization with. working capital. Then, every fraternity house will keep on deposit with the or- ganization a sum equal to their largest monthly bill. This money would be used to pay for upcoming purchases. Discuss Constitution Barber expressed extreme en- thusiasm in the new organization and expects some twenty to twen- ty-five fraternities to join. Also discussed at last night's meeting were the FBA constitu- tion and preparations for purchas- ing next Fall. The constitution will be ratified next Fall when the or- ganization achieves legal status. FBA plans to contact wholesale houses and to receive its merchan- dise at a discount. Later, the or- ganization plans to include all items purchased by fraternities. Ike May Ease world Tension 'Red Arms Plan Could Wreek U.S. By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP) - Russia's new disarmament program would wreck the system of military bases which the United States has been developing since World War II in the Far East and Europe to off- set Communist military might. The disarmament program is receiving, however, careful exam- ination from officials here and in London and Paris. President Dwight D. Eisenhower said yes- terday it would require study be- fore he could comment. U.S. Skeptical Nevertheless it is evident that on the first reading U.S. officials are highly skeptical about the de- gree of good faith behind the Mos- cow plan. They found it also full of fish- hooks on which the Western na- tions might get caught if they swallowed the disarmament bait. Undoubtedly. the disarmament! program will be an item pushed by Soviet Premier Bulganin at any Big Four meeting with Pres. Ei- senhower and other Western lead- ers. Proposals Analyzed a Some of the proposals which C looked like tricky gimmicks to an- alysts here were these:t 1. Nations agreeing to the pro- gram would undertake to "dis- mantle" all their bases on the ter-I FRANCE, GERMANY BURY HATCHET-West Germany Chancellor Konrad Adenauer (right), and French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay reach over French delegate Alexandre Parold to shake hands in Palais de Chaillot in Paris, as Germany became the 15th member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NAT"O Seeks To End Cold War Says Big Four Talks PARIS W-The 15 nations of the Atlantic Alliance called yesterday. for a truce in the Far East and a Big Four agreement on Euro- pean problems to end the threat! of World War III. They solemnly warned that fur- thur fighting in Asia will "clearly endanger the peace of the world." The dispute over Formosa obvious- ly was uppermost in their minds,1 though that issue was not spelled out in their final statement. Describe Main Tasks They told the United States, Russia, Britain and France that the reunification of Germany and1 a general disarmament agreementt should be their main tasks at the four-power "meeting at the sum- mit" proposed by the Western Powers. The call for an end to the hote war in Asia and the cold war int Europe was issued by the council of the North Atlantic Treaty Or-1 ganization.1 Hail Additions= The ministers, in their final communique, hailed the addition of West Germany's 50 million peo-z Happy Boys NOrmandy 3-1561 will ans- wer after 10:30 p.m. for the rest of the semester. The number, known by heart by thousands of loquacious males serves the womens dor- mitories on the hill. Starting last night the switchboards re- mained open until 11 p.m. ritories of other countries by some time in 1957. That would elimi- nate U.S. bases in Allied countries in the Far East and Europe. 2. The United States, Russia, Britain and France would with- draw all but small portions of their troops from Germany, back "to their national frontiers." That would assure the removal of Unit- ed States forces from Europe. 3. The Germans would be per- mitted to establish "strictly lim- ited contingents of local police forces" under four-power con- trol. That would seem to end the prospect of West German rearma- ment. One Russian proposal which at- tracted some real interest here was that there should be a fixed ceil- ing on the number of men in the armed forces of the United States, Russia, Red China, Britain and France. This is something the Western powers have talked about in thepast when they were trying to establish the principle of equal- izing Russia's power with that of the West. 1 J ple to the Atlantic community and the formation of the seven-nation West European Union as steps, which will promote peace. Bulganin Speaks In Warsaw, representatives of eight Soviet bloc nations meeting to form a Red military alliance heard from Soviet Premier Niko- lai Bulganin a declaration that the NATO membership for the Bonn Republic makes the Germans "again a threat." Bulganin said the Soviet Union, nevertheless, is prepared to sup- port any acceptable proposal that might lead to German unification. He said the Russians 'wantto end the cold wvar. Restriction on Atom The Russian proposal for restric- tions on atomic weatons "may be important," said Canadian Foreign Secretary Lester Pearson, here for the NATO conference. But Gen. Alfred Gruenther. Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, said the free world would be handicapped by abolishing the atomic bomb "because it is our only chance of equalilng the present disparity in conventional power," which favors' the Reds. I ,. ,.r . tir -rrrr r -r icligan Week To Observe Six Different Cultural Areas Tells Press Plans Still Indefinite Also Comments On Salk Vaccine WASHINGTON (W) - President Dwight D. Eisenhower said yester- day the proposed at-the-summit Big Four meeting could clear the air somewhat and show whether the Russians sincerely want to ease tensions "around the world." The President told a news con- ference, however, the whole thing still is in an exploratory and ex- perimental stage. He cautioned' against a "stubborn" refusal to ex- pect any good from the idea, but he added in tones that suggested little enthusiasm: "There is no expectation on my part that in a few hours, a few days. a few weeks this world is go- ing to be turned around-by no means. And I am not going, if I do go, under any such thought." This "if" note cropped up sev- eral times as the President A- .swered questions stemming from Tuesday's call by the Western Powers for a meeting of Eisen- hower, British Prime Minister Eden, French Premier Faure and Soviet Premier Bulganin in an ef- fort to remove "sources of con- flict." STheSoviets have not yet replied to the Anglo-American-French bid, which represented a change in American policy. Previously the President hacd opposed any gal top level meeting-at least until after the four foreign ministers had laid the groundwork. Must Do Utmost Asked why he changed his mind, the President spoke of "a growing sentiment" throughout the world -"a vague feeling some good might come out of such a confer- ence." With great emphasis, he said "this business of trying to reach a clarification of issues, if such a thing is possible, is so important that you can't stand on any other principle except to do your ut- most-as you preserve your own strength of position." Eisenhower said he thought a Big Four conference shouldn't take more than about three days. Views Salk Vaccine The Conference idea and the. Salk vaccineesituation dominated Eisenhower's meeting with news- men. As for the vaccine, Eisenhower said medical authorities have been under "great pressure" to get it in use as soon as possible and that "probably they tried to short-cut a little bit" in testing it. He had no criticism of 'federal health authorities, however, and in fact commended them for halt- ing vaccinations pending a re- check. He voiced firm faith the vaccine ultimately will wipe out polio in this country. Hill St. House Hit by.Fire Ann Arbor's fire department got a workout between 12:40 and 1 a.m. today as it quickly exting- uished a small fire at 144 Hill. Awakened from a sound night's slumber, the firemen trundled to the scene in two fire trucks to find parts of the house filled with smoke. "A lot of smoke" was the way. one sleepy-eyed fire-eater put it. Inside the house the main dam- age appeared to be a scarred mat- tress, which fire department Cap- tain Paul Wenk said evidently was the scene of the fire origin. He said the fire may have been due to someone smoking in bed. While soggy debris was thrown rfrom a second floor window, the ruined mattress smoldered on the front lawn. Michigan's cultural life will be spotlighted during the second an- nual Michigan Week starting Sun- day. The Week's Cultural Activities{ Board, headed by University Pres- ident Harlan H. Hatcher, has out- lined plans for observance of the Week in six different areas: archi- tecture, community theaters, fine arts, literature, Michigan folklore and music.

Lamb Relates Fight Against FCC in Journalism Lecture By JIM DYGERT Edward Lamb, Toledo publisher and radio station owner, yester- day called the Federal Communications Commission's case against him a political "frame-up." Speaking at a lecture sponsored by the journalism department, Lamb related the history of his fight to get his broadcasting license renewed. "I hope this case will expose the evils of professional wit- nesses and liars," he said. Michigan Week is designated asI "an annual period of time during! which citizens of Michigan turn+ their attention to and reflect upon' the industrial, cultural and natur-! al resources of their state." "I'm Glad I. Live in Michigan"' is the theme for this year's Week,1 sponsored by Greater Michigan, Inc,. in cooperation with the Mich- igan Department of Economic De-I velopment and other state agen-; cies. 1* f Prof. Moos Says Politicians Now Exercise Less Control By PETE ECKSTEIN Recent, trends in American parties were analyzed by Prof. Mal-, colh Moos of Johns Hopkins University in a lecture yesterday ons "The Far Side of Politics." Prof. Moos expressed concern about the "state of health of the politician" and the "weakened leadership of political organization." Public relations men, feeding the voter his "pre-digested po- litical Pablum," have taken over much of the politicians role, the visiting lecturer noted.
