With Nineteenth Consecutive Win
Special to The Daily
CHAMPAIGN, Ill.-Michigan completed its first undefeated ten-
nis season in five years here yesterday with a tremendous 9-0 shutout
of Illinois.
The dual meet triumph was the 13th in a row this season for the
Wolverines and the 19th without defeat since May 11 of last year.
Played Outstanding Matches
All the Wolverine netters played outstanding matches in what
Coach Bill Murphy termed "our finest meet of the season." Three men
finished the season with perfect records.

In Twin Bill
Special to The Daily
There is no joy 'at Michigan for
the Wolverines have lost out.
Michigan's baseball team, which
gave such healthy promise to fans
at the beginning of the season and
then faded to a hopeful third
place tie with Michigan State,
was finally crushed into a final
fifth place yesterday at the hands
t of Ohio State, now the Big Ten
champions.
Lose 13-4, 5-1
The champs from Columbus
rolled over the Wolverines twice,
13-4 and 5-1, in the double-head-
er yesterday which marked the
end of the Big Ten baseball sea-
son, along with the end of Michi-
gan baseball title hopes.
Wildness on the mound and er-
rors in the field had much to do
with the ill-fated double defeat.
Michigan pitchers just couldn't
seem to get the ball over the plate
as a complete parade of pitchers
-Bill Thurston, Don Poloskey,
Mark Ferrelli, Jim Clark and
Ralph Fagge-gave up a total of
10 bases on balls in the first game.
Dick Peterjohn handed' out six
free passes in thesecond. Thurs-
ton and Peterjohn were credited
with the losses.
Poorest Game
Along with this lack of control,
Michigan played its poorest defen-
sive ball of the season. Usually a
team of very few errors, the Wol-
verines completely reversed form
and committed five blunders in the
initial booming defeat. Then they
were guilty of two more misplays
while losing the second.
Michigan got off to a good start
in the opener, scoring two runs
in the first inning.
Moby Benedict led off with a
double to left center and then Bill
Fox walked. Both men advanced
on a wild pitch, Benedict racing
home on a long sacrifice fly off the
bat of captain Danny Cline. Fox
then stole third, and Ken Tippery
singled him home.
This slight lead was completely
erased by the end of the second in-
ning, however, as the poor Wolver-
ing pitching fell apart to let eight
runs cross the plate. Seven of
these came on only three hits, five
walks and a wild pitch.

Rainmaker'
To open Here
"The Rainmaker" will be the
third Drama Season offering.
Starring Cameron Prud'homme,
Joan Potter and Jamie Smith, the
play will be given its first per-
formance at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow
at Lydia Mendelssohn Theater,
and will continue through Satur-
day.
The comedy play, which opened
earlier this year on -Broadway,
deals with the attempts of a plain,
intelligent girl to get a husband.
The "Rainmaker" of the title is a
smooth-talking, handsome confi-
dence man.
Radio Star
Prud'homme is best remembered
for his role of David Harum in the
radio soap-opera series. His most
recent work was in the musical
comedy, "By the Beautiful Sea."
Miss Potter originated the major
feminine lead in "Rainmaker"
when the play was done on tele-
vision a year and a half ago. Since
then, she has done work in theater
and television.
over defending champion, Indiana
- and highly-rated Illinois have
vaulted the Wolverines into th
favorite role in the impending Big
Ten title playoffs this coming
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Although this was the fifth
whitewash accomplished by Mich-
igan during the year, none was so
impressive as the perfection-ap-
proaching performances of the
Michigan netters yesterday.
Tall Barry MacKay recovered
from Friday's subpar play, which
almost ruined his personal season-
* al all-victorious streak, to trounce
his Illini opponent in the first sin-
s gles match.
MacKay Beats Woods
MacKay, who was extended to
. three sets in a sloppy match with
Hoosier Captain John Hironimus
on Friday, had no trouble in dis-
posing of Illinois' Conrad Woods,
runner-up in Big Ten singles last
year. The Wolverine won in
straight sets, 6-4, 6-1.
Woods was unable to cope with
MacKay's blistering volleys which
were scattered uncannily into the
most unreachable parts of the
court. After a slow start, MacKay
was almost unstoppable by Woods.
'A slow start was the only short-
Scoming of Al Mann, Michigan's
fourth singles player, but that was
enough to prevent the Wolverines
from sweeping the six singles
matches in straight sets.

vantage of his demotion from last

U', SC Judic
Councils Plan
Joint Meeting
University's Joint Judiciary
Council and its counterpart at
Michigan State College will meet
early next fall to discuss mutual
disciplinary action for student
raids on the two campuses.
Decision to hold the special fall
meeting was made here at Friday's
MSC-University student leaders'
conference.
Joint Judic Chairman Fritz Glo-
ver, '55E, termed the decision "a
great step forward in establishing
better relations between the two
schools."
"Itisiour hope," he said, "that
a common ground can be found
on which we can base all deci-
sions."
Among other plans to be con-
sidered at the coming meeting will
be a system of equal penalties.
Administrations at both schools
have given the judiciary bodies
their full support in setting up a
joint plan to cope with occurrences
such as last fall's paint raids in
East Lansing and Ann Arbor.

Control Bill
Would Grant Ike
Standby Power
WASHINGTON (A)-Sen. Lyn-
don B. Johnson (D-Tex.) yester-
day threw his weight behind a pro-
posal by Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala)
to give President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower standby authority to control
the manufacture and distribution
of Salk polio vaccine.
Sen. Hill, head of the Senate La-
bor Committee, predicted Congress
will brush aside objections from
the Eisenhower Administration
and enact discretionary controls
legislation.
Wants Broad Powers
Sen. Johnson, the. Senate Dem-
ocratic leader, said he doesn't
want to choose between several
bills which the Labor Committee
will consider tomorrow. But he
said he personally favors giving
Eisenhower "broad discretionary
authority, and powers in that
field."
I think it would be desirable
to vest in the President power to
exert control over this program.
He could decide whether he needs
to do it," Johnson said.
Reminded that Secretary Ovetaf
Culp Hobby of the Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare Department
has opposed enactment of controls
legislation now, Sen. Johnson said
that doesn't alter his opinion that
the President should have "any
authority he may need."
,X "Need Controls"
"I am not passing on the ques-
tion of whether the President now
has the inherent- power to act,"
he said. "But we should have such
controls as are needed to assure
equitable distribution of the vac-
cine."
Stevens Urges
Army Reserve
KANSAS CITY WF)-- Secretary
of the Army Robert T. Stevens ad-
vocated yesterday an adequate
military reserve in preference to
a large standing army.t
"In order to insure security," he t
told an Armed Forces Day lunch-
eon, "we must choose one of two1
courses.1
"Either we bear indefinitely thet
heavy burden of maintaining a
huge regular military establish-k
ment capable of winning any war'
we might have to fight, or we ac-
cept forthrightly the lesser sacri-
fices entailed in supporting a vig-
orous reserve of adequate size and
capability." |
SAIGON, South Viet Nam (A)-Premier Ngo Dinh Diem's govern-
ment and its Nationalist supporters struck two new blows yesterday
at absentee Chief of State Bao Dai.
Both moves strengthened the drive for the playboy ex-Emperor's
eventual ouster.
Orders Arrest
The government ordered the arrest and trial on treason charges
of two top aides of Bao Dai and four other leaders of the civil war
which erupted against Diem April 28.

May Avert
Huge Strikes
LONDON (P)-Prime Ministerl
fAnthony Eden's Cabinet got a
promise of help from the power-
ful Trade Union Congress yester-
day in efforts to avert two elec-
tion-week strikes that threaten
to tie up the nation's railways and
key ports.
TUC. a giant federation of
8,000,000 workers, agreed to use
its influence as peacemaker after
railwaymen and dock workers
wound up a week's dickering with
declarations that they were stick-
ing to strike plans.
Begin Tomorrow
The dock strike is set for to-
morrow-threedays before the
general elections Thursday. The
National Amalgamated Stevedores
and Dockers Union has called
about 7,000 workers off the Lon-
don docks and an undisclosed
number from the wharfs at Liver-
pool, Hull and Manchester.
Seventy thousand members of
the Associated Society of Locomo-
tive Engineers and Firemen ares
due to go out on strike Saturday
at the peak of the Whitsunday
holiday traffic. The strike would
knock out all normal railway
travel.
London }newspapers warned if
the strikes came off Britain would
be plunged "into the worst in-
dustrial chaos since the 1926 gen-
eral strike."
Kept in Touch
To deal with the situation, Eden
took time off over the weekend
from his election campaigning to

<tee's announcement that it had
sent telegrams to President Dwight
D. Eisenhower and the heads of
42 other nations informing them of
the organization's support of Diem
and its claim that Bao Dai has
been deposed.
Nguyen Bao Toan, the commit-
tee's president, told reporters the
telegrams were aimed at prepar-
ing the way internationally for the
proclamation of a republic before
South Viet Nam's general elec-
tions.
This voting is scheduled to takeI
place within the next two or three
Xinonths.
Doesn't Have Influence
Diem already has taken several
steps making it clear to Bao Dai
that he no longer has any influence
in South Viet Nam.
Emerging from the civil war
with a stronger hand, the Premier
formed a new government without
consulting Bao Dai, abolished his
Imperial Guard and'- whipped
through a hundred other small
measures the absentee Bao Dai
would never have approved.

Predicts Russian

WASHINGTON (A)) - Sen. Wal-
ter F. George (D-Ga.) said yester-
day the United States must not
give up European airbases or re-
duce its military strength there
despite any "bold move" by Rus-
sia to erect a neutral zone between
East and West.
Sen. George, who heads the

tee, told newsmen there are " io
present circumstances under which
we can afford to give up our air
bases or decrease our forces in
Europe."
Replies To Critics
Replying to critics who have
said Russia's prime objective at
any top-level, Big Four conference
would be to dissipate American
military strength in Europe, Sen.
George said:
"I don't think we can give up
anything at this time or rest on
our oars in any way. We can't let
our guard down now. No proposal
Russia makes should affect our
military efforts until we have had
time to see some real change In
the world situation."
Sen. William F. Knowland of
California, the Republican leader,
has contended that the Soviets are
aiming at bringing about with-
drawal of American troops from
the Continent.
He has predicted attempts to
"neutralize" a belt of countries
across Europe from Yugoslavia to
Scandinavia.
First in this country to call for
a "summit" conference between
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
and the heads of Britain, France
and Russia, Sen. George saii he
has no doubt the Russians will
come forward with "a very bold
program" at such a meeting.
New Proposal?
"They will probablyshave a new
disarmament proposal," he said.
"They are likely to suggest the
creation of a neutral zone between
East and West.
*They may even propose that
the United States, Britain and
France on one side guarantee the
neutrality of a dividing zone while
they guarantee it on the other. We
should be prepared for some unus-
ually bold proposals from them."
Sen. George said he doesn't be-
lieve these proposals need be "dis-
turbing" to the West.
