LXV, No. 91 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1955 RTLY CLOUDY, COLD - SIX PAGES Anti-Reds End Seizure Of Legation Swiss, Runanian Relations Strained BERN, Switzerland (P) - Three militant Rumanian anti-Commu- nists abandoned a dramatic occu- pation of the Rumanian legation yesterday under thrat of being blasted out.. Sleepy-eyed and unshaven, they surrendered quietly to Swiss au- thorities. Helmeted police, troops and tank officers were on hand to stage an assault across the snow-covered grounds as the three, between 27 and 35 years old, gave up and were hustled to Bern's prison. The two-story stone structure, which they seized from their Com- munist homeland's diplomats Monday as a blow against commu- nism, reverted to Charge D'Affaires Eneric Stoffel and his staff. Damage Slight Torn up Communist propaganda literature littered the floors. Oth- * erwise, police said, the damage from the 42-hour occupation was slight. But the three-holdouts of a band that originally numbered six -face trial in Switzerland for the * fatal wounding of the legation chauffeur, Aurel Sedu, in the at- tack which strained relations be- tween this long neutral nation and the Bucharest government. Another member of the group was already under arrest. He was picked up as he sought to get away with arms and documents. Police say two others escaped com- pletely. The band had vowed to hold the legation until Rumania freed five imprisoned resistance leaders, in- cluding a general and a bishop, or die in the attempt. But they weakened under inter- cessions by Swiss authorities and a visit to the legation by a Roman Catholic priest. Two of the party said Wtey needed the pries' to ab- solvp them from their sworn words. Ultimatum Given The Swiss authorities gave them an ultimatum to give up yesterday nforning and then extended it to 4 p.m. yesterday, as their determi- nation to hold on appeared weak- ening. Swarms of police and troops screened the anti-Reds as they walked from the building. They de- clined to give their names. Po- lice said the leader told them the Russians had killed his father in Rumania. Though the anti-Communists face trial here for killing the chauffeur, it is understood Swiss authorities, in negotiating the band's surrender without further bloodshed, indicated they will not be extradited to Rumania despite Rumania's demands that they be returned. Alaska-Hawaii Bill Given OK By Committee Statehood for both Alaska and Hawaii was recommended yester- day in a compromise bid for pres- idential support by the House In- sular Affairs Committee. The compromise consisted of an amendment provision authorizing the President to set aside up to 40 per cent of northern Alaska as a defense zone. Key Area Jurisdiction in this zone, a key military area in the event of a United States-Russian war, would be exclusively federal. The Committee's approval moves the issue toward an uncertain fate. Action by the full House on the two territories' admittance as states now hinges on clearance of the bill by the Rules Committee. Approval of the House is then subject to possible presidential veto of the proposal. Ike Requests President Dwight D. Eisenhower has previously requested immed- iate statehood for Hawaii while saying that Alaska's "complex problems" make delayed action necessary on its admittance. Rep. Arthur Miller (R-Neb.) former chairman of the Insular Affairs Conimittee, said that the SL Appropriates Part of Treasury No Move Planned Until Next WeekE Regarding Remaining Allotments By DAVE BAAD Student Legislature passed motions last night disposing of more than $1,000 of the $5,801.26 presently in SL's treasury. The Legislature discussed proposals for spending the remaining money but no motions will be made until next week's meeting. On motions by SL treasurer Bill Adams, '57, SL voted last night to spend $15 for membership in the Big Ten Student Association; Not in excess of $300 to pay for'all election costs directly assign- able to the March 15 and 16 Student Government Council elections; To pay not in excess of $300 for printing the Legislature's final report to be published when SL goes out of existerice in mid-March, SL Banquet, Freedom Week Other appropriations last night to pay for guests' dinners at the annual SL banquet and $470.50 appropriated for Academic Freedom T 1 _ - ._.4 ..L ... .«... . - 4 Panhel Head Resigns Post Jean Bromfield, '55, Panhellen- ic Organization's President, re- signed her post yesterday for per- sonal reasons. "With the addition of Student Government Council and other outside duties of the Panhellenic President I have found it difficult to keep up with my academic work and other responsibilities," Miss Bromfield said, Panhel's first Vice-president, Barbara Heider, '55, will be act- ing president until election of new officers takes place before Spring vacation. Miss Heider will attend the SGC steering committee meeting to- day with Miss Bromfield and take over immediately in the president's other duties. The organization will run "the same as ever, be- cause Jean had it well organized," she said. IHC To Hold Debate on Rent During the Inter-House Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in South Quadrangle, the proposed room and board increase and the problem of women in predomin- antly male residence halls will be discussed. Representatives to the IHC from residence halls will bring their findings to the meeting on opin- ions of students living in the quad- rangles concerning a proposed $50 per year room and board rate hike. IHC will probably bring forth a specific recommendation fol- lowing this discussion. Also slated for discussion is the question of what to recommend to the Residence Hall Board of Governors on the disposition of Chicago House next year. Originally the house was slated to be turned back to male stu- dents next year, with the present women residents being moved into the Couzens Hall addition. Since the addition probably won't be ready for occupancy at the beginning of next semester, IHC President Stan Levy, '55, said yesterday, women may remain in Chicago House. Recommendations on the dispo- sition of this issue will come from today's meeting, Transport Workers Spurn Union Pact NEW YORK ()-The big CIO Transport Workers Union yester- day spurned present proposals for a CIO-AFL merger. The national convention of the 170,000-member union voted 392- 18 against a resolution which would have given its flat endorse- ment to the plan. TWU President Michael Quill said present proposals for a mer- ger of the CIO and AFL contain no assurances against labor racial discrimination, "raiding and rac- keteering." It was the first action by a ma- jor union on the merger proposals agreed to at a recent meeting of CIO and AFL officials in Miami. Alumnus Sets Up 'U' Essay Contest Week festivities brought last night's disposal to over $1,000. Suggestions for spending re- maining funds will be further con- sidered at SL's finance committee meeting at 3 p.m. Sunday and SL's open cabinet meeting at 4:15 p.m. Monday., Motions resulting from these meetings will be presented to the Legislature next week. On a motion by Paul Dormont, '55, the Legislature last night opened one hour of next week's meting to constituents desiring to offer suggestions to SL on how to dispose of the close to $5,000. Finance Discussions SL President Ned Simon, '55, at the same time invited students to attend finance discussions at the open cabinet and finance commit- tee meeting. Most of last night's discussion centered around three suggestions -to hold the money in a trust fund for student government if SGC should not live past its two year probation; To put the money in a trust fund to help needy campus organiza- tions; and to give money for help- ing maintain and possibly extend the Free University of Berlin pro- gram. The Legislature gave almost no' consideration to passing the mon- ey to SGC. There was meager support for paying National Student Associa- tion dues $200 for one year. Other suggestions previously dis- cussed in finance committee meet- ings but dropped from considera- tion by that body include extension of Student Book Exchange, ex- pansion of present SL programs SGC might tent: to overlook, grant of money to the Cinema Guild De- velopment Fund and a grant to set up a subsidiary lecture series. Dormont Suggests Dormont suggested, in printed form, a plan to set up a 'Student Legislature trust fund to be used "for loans to non-profit groups and associations whose' membership is open to students -nd whose pur- pose is to provide goods and serv- ices to students." Specifically, Dormont suggested a non-profit barbershop, sandwich shop or bicycle shop. Most opposition to Dormont's proposal crystallized on the insig- nificance of $5,000 in trying to set up most types of businesses of the type he suggested. Rushing Signups At the close of rushing signups yesterday 480 men had signed for rushing, according to Interfrater- nity Council. rushing chairman Bob Knutson, '56. During the same period last year 402 men rushed. RICA MARTENS I GOP Pans West Coast Convention Sets Aug. 20 Start At San Francisco WASHINGTON (P)-San Fran- cisco was chosen'yesterday as the host city for the 1956 Republican presidential nominating conven- tion. The unanimous choice, by a seven-member subcommittee of the Republican National Commit- tee, is subject to ratification by the full committee. Leaders said this was a formality. The full com- mittee meets here today. Chicago, already picked by the Democrats for their 1956 conven- tion, had been in the leading spot for the Republicans also, but the Golden Gate City came up fast and won yesterday. Philadelphia was Ithe other main contender. Latest Convention The Republican subcommittee recommended that the San Fran- cisco convention open Aug. 20, which would be the latest conven- tion date in modern political his- tory. The Democrats have tenta- tively selected July 23, with hopes of changing it to Aug. 13. San Francisco has had one oth- er national nominating convention, the 1920 gathering of Democrats who selected Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio to run for President and Franklin D. Roosevelt for vice president. GOP National Chairman Leon- ard W. Hall sai the site sub- committe deemed it a good idea to meet on the west coast. 'Thomas Gray, manager of San Francisco's Downtown Assn. of Business Men, offered the Republi- cans the rent-free use of San Francisco's Cow Palace, a huge structure built for cattle shows and other expositions. $250,000 Guarantee San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia each offered a $250,- 000 guarantee. Philadelphia oer- ed also to pay the whole cost of in- stalling equipment in the conven- tion hall, an expense usually shar- ed by both parties when they meet in the same city. Chairman Hall dismissed as "pure bunk" any thought that the Republicans passed over Chicago for fear, as a reporter put it, there might be "danger of McCarthy- ites packing the galleries." YD's Name New Officers The Young Democrat Club elect- ed Joyce Greenbaum, '56, presi- dent for the coming year with George Zuckerman, '56, as vice- president, William Peer, '57, as treasurer and Ann Lawther, '56 as secretary. Upon assuming her office yes- terday, Miss Greenbaum comment- ed, "It is our expectation that the coming semester will bring a de- crease in political apathy on the part of the student body and an inc]ease in active party partici- pation." "We hope that our organiza- tion can provide enlightening speakers and provocative discus- sion," she added. At yesterday's meeting Young Democrats discussed plans to in- vite Guy Nunn, Roy Reuther and Lieutenant-governor Philip A. Hart to the campus this semester for speaking engagements. House Votes Pay Raise Of $10,000 Judiciary To Get Salary Increase WASHINGTON (R)-Members of the House voted for a 66 per cent pay raise for themselves yesterday, passing a bill which would give them and senators $10,000 more a year. The bill now goes to the Senate By a margin of better than 2-1, the House approved the legisla- tion which would increase the combined salaries and expense al- lowances of Congress members from $15,000 to $25,000 and also d i s t r i b u t e substantial boosts among the federal judiciary. The roll call vote was 283-118. Opponents insisted that congress- men go on the record so their con- stituents could see where they stood. Leaders Rush Bill Only a few voices were raised against the bill during a brief de- bate. The measure was pushed through the House by leaders of both parties with the blessing of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who said the legislators deserved a raise but didn't say how much. Former President Harry S. Tru- man put in a lick himself, tele- graphingDemocratic floor leader John McCormack of Massachu- setts that all senators, represen- tatives and United States judges were underpaid. The last raise for members of Congress was voted in 1946. Sena- tors and representatives currently receive a basic salary of $12,500 annually plus $2,500 in taxable money for which they need not ac- count. A $3,000 income tax deduction allowed members of Congress as a business expense would remain in effect. Senate Measure The Senate measure calls for a slightly smaller raise of $7,500. The House bill calls for these other salary jumps: A $10,000 annual increase for associate justices of the Supreme Court, raising them to $35,000 and a similar increase for the chief justice, raising him to $35,500. Seventy-five hundred dollars a year more for other members of the federal judiciary, raising U.S. district judges from $15,000 to $22,500 and appellate judges from $17,500 to $25,000. An additional $5,000 a year for the vice president and the speaker of the House, raising their salaries and expense allowances to $45,000. The top of $15,000 a year for United States attorneys would be raised to $20,000, with commensur- ate increases for some other Jus- tice Department officials. 13rams Clarifies Contrary Labor, Industry Quests By NORMAN BARR distance between two points is not necessarily a "The shortest straight line." Stanley H. Brams, editor and publisher of Detroit Labor Trends, explained the paradoxical demands often made by labor from man- agement. Speaking before the Industrial Relations Club yesterday, Brams said that the union demands are usually designed to draw out some. sort of reaction from management. After the union demands have been made, it is then the duty of management to find out what the union is actually insisting on, where do the bargain areas lie, what will the union compromise on, and what will they actually accept. Talk Through Reporter Frequently, when union leaders use the press to communicate their U -S 'Alert' ATo Possible Area Actions Russian Shakeup 'Changes' Seen NEW YORK (IP)-Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said yes- terday the United States does not intend to defend the Chinese coastal islands "as such" but will watch for any Communist effort to use them as a springboard for an attack on Formosa. At the same time, Secretary Dulles appealed to the Peiping re- gime to reconsider its turndown of United Nations cease-fire talks. The critical issue is not the Reds' desire for the Nationalist-held is- Dulles Outlines U.S. Plans On China Coastal Islands Pick Stason As Atomic Consultant LANSING (P-Dean E. Blythe Stason of the Law School, was asked by Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams yesterday to serve as an advisor to state agencies on the use of atomic energy for public power. Gov. Williams said it is very, probable that there will be plans for an atomic reactor in Michi- gan in the near future. Dean Stason, a consultant and legal advisor to the United States Atomic Energy Commission, will be asked to serve as consultant to a committeeof state officers. John H. McCarthy, chairman of the State Public Service Commis- sion, was asked to serve as chair- man of the committee. demands, they do not talk to the I reporter, but talk through the r- porter." They try to get the mes- i sage across to their opponent or they maybetri ospeak t their own rank and file members. The labor-management relations expert must successfully relate the demands and concessions of each side to the other by revealing only information that is in the "public domain." As a reporter, he "does a little trading of the things he can safely trade." Brams explained that both sides must be able to come out of the negotiations feeling that they have won a victory. "It is necessary that settlements save face for both, parties," he continued AFL-CIO Merger In the question-answer period after the lecture, Brams did not believe that the recent AFL-CIO merger would greatly affect labor- management relations. He felt that bargaining will go on as usual and that most rival- ries between, unions will continue. However, he' believed that labor will be strengthened politically be- cause of their huge amounts of pooled resources. IHC Acts As Service Group For Students Living in Quads (EDITOR'S NOTE-This is the second in a series of interpretive articles dealing with the services, history and future of the Inter-House Council.) By JOEL BERGER From the point of view of organizational structure, the Inter- House Council is well-suited to give services to and for the men it represents. IHC itself serves as a service organization for the men and women in East, West and South Quadrangles. While the quadrangle residents elect representatives to serve on the legislative body of IHC, the executive officers in turn provide services for persons living in the quads. President Stan Levy, '55, is a member of the Board of Governors of the Residence Halls. As such, he recommends subjects for approval which the IHC legislative body requests him to bring up. IHC Legislature Top organ in the IHC structure is the legislature composed of two representatives from each house in the quadrangle. Almost " entirely male, the group also in- Speakers To "Talk Clarence Reid, former lieuten- ant-governor of Michigan and Homer Martin, founding president of the United Auto Workers, will discuss "Labor's Future in Poli- tics" at 8 p.m. today in Rm. 3K of the Union. [N ELIOT PLAY: 1 roadway Actress Joins Dramatic Arts Staff By LOUISE TYOR Arriving in Ann Arbor via Broadway, Rica Martens, newcomer to the staff of the Dramatic Arts Center, did her first professional work on a radio show while attending Northern Texas State College, in Denton, Tex. "I can't remember when I first wanted to act," she explained, "I always did." After college, Miss Martens went to California where she acted in a stock company in Hollywood. From there, the pretty red-head went to New York City. Appeared in "Laura" in New York Following more radio and television work, Miss Martens appeared in "Laura" in New York and on tie road and in the Jose Ferrer production of "The Shrike." She also appeared in the road company performance of the same play in Detroit in 1953: here she starred with Van Heflin. For the past three summers Miss Martens has been co-directing and starring in a summer stock theater-in-the-round at Virginia eludes women representing Tyler, Prescott and Chicago houses. Directly connected with the leg- islature is the judiciary and WCBN. According to Levy, judi- ciary members are appointed for one year terms and cannot be re- moved from office. This group has original juris- diction in cases involving houses or residents of two different quad- rangles and in cases involving IHC. It serves as a co-ordinating body for all house and quadrangle judiciaries and is an educational force in judicial functioning, Levy commented yesterday. Executive organ of the IHC is its cabinet, consisting of Levy, Executive Vice-President Tom Bleha, '56, Administrative Vice- President Dave Hubly, '57, Treas- urer Vic Nelson, Corresponding Secretary Sandra Task, '57 and Recording Secretary Bill Butzloff, '58. Also in the cabinet are South Quadrangle President Arthur Kan- gas, '55, West Quadrangle Presi- dent Al Dower, and East Quad- rangle President Ralph McCor- mick, '57E. Financial Committee Responsible to Hubly and Nel- son is the financial committee, which draws up the budget and follows through by supervising its application. JOHN FOSTER DULLES ... Secretary of State lands, Secretary Dulles suggested, but the use of force to get them. "It is hardly to be expected that the Chinese Communists will re- nounce their ambitions," he said. "However, might they not re- nounce their efforts to realize their goals by force?" Dinner Address In a major address to 1,600 per- sons at ; dinner of the Foreign Policy Association, Secretary Dul- les said th'e United States "will be alert to subsequent Chinese Com- munist actions, rejecting for our- selves any initiative of warlike deeds." He made these other main points: 1. He rejected an idea, report- edly favored by some British offi- cials, that Nationalist' China vol- untarily surrender to the Reds all offshore islands. 2. The recent upheaval in Mos- cow which put Marshal Nikolai Bulganin in the Premier's role is "an elemental personal struggle for power" but it may also reflect a "basic policy difference" between the Russian Communist party and the Soviet government. If "Rus- sians of stature". will put their na- tion's welfare first, instead of sub- ordinating it to the Communist drive to win the world, "then in- deed there could be a basis for worthwhile negotiations and prac- tical agreements" with "the new Russia." Danger Point 3. Fear among*Asian people that the United States has no real in- tention of supporting them in op- position to communism "has mounted to the danger point." But he stressed, the American people have made known their determina- tion to "restrain those who vio- lently menace liberty" and the Ei- senhower administration "will so- berly execute" this policy. The United States, he said, "is firmly committed to the defense" of Formosa and the Pescadores, the main Nationalist strongholds. -Secretary Dulles indirectly ap- pealed to the Peiping regime to "renounce their efforts to realize their goals by force." He said the. Eisenhower Administration' still hopes the United Nations, which ended discussion of the Formosa crisis Monday, would continue to try to arrange a cease-fire in the Formosa area. mesmemmesammen w r1RYS';
