Y L Latest Deadline in the State ~Iai41 FAIR AND WARMER VOL. LXVI, No. 129 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1956 FOUR PA iii ii i w i Peace Trip Brings Calm To Mid-East Hammarskjol Halts Hostilities CAIRO, Egypt M-There were growing indications last night that Dag Hammarskjold's peace mission here has quieted the Isra- eli-Egyptian frontier. And a United Nations spokes- man said the secretary general is making some progress toward keeping it calm. Late last night there had been no report of any border incident since Thursday afternoon. Egypt is understood to have as- sured Hammarskold all Arab commandos have withdrawn from Israel. Israel cliarged the raiders had killed 14 and wounded 32 since Saturday. Written Assurance Both sides handed Hammar- skjold written assurance they would refrain from hostile acts. An air battle Thursday and an exchange of fire across the fron- tier of the Gaza strip followed the pledges. Then hostilities ceased. Israel charged there were two new Arab incidents Friday, but neither involved the frontier .with Egypt. An Asraeli Army spokes- man said a child in -the Jewish section of Jerusalem was wound- ed by a shot from the Arab-held quarter. Israeli workers also were reported fired on in the' central Jordan River valley. Frontier Relaxed The Israeli-Egyptian frontier re- gion appeared almost relaxed. Hammarskjold held an unsched- uled conference with Foreign Min- ister Mahmoud Fawzi. He will see Fawzi again Saturday before meet- ing again with Premier Gamal Aidel Nasser. Hammarskjold sent off a mes- sage to Premier David Ben-Gurion of Israel. He asked assurances that Israel had given orders to quit shooting across the border. He said Egypt had issued its :orders. U. N. experts and Egyptian de- partment officials held two long meetings on the problem of pull- ing troops of both sides back from the frontier. Nasser originated the idea last summer and it was endorsed by the U. N. security council. Troops of each side would withdraw 500 meters slightly less than one-third of a mile from the demarcation line. Unconfirmed reports Thursday said Israel had agreed to such a withdrawl in principle. It had op- posed the idea previously. AA Minus Health Board Ann Arbor's new city chatter has left the city without a Planning Commission and a Board of Health until July 1. The section in the charter which sets up the operatoral schedule states the Planning Commission and the board of Health shall cease to exist "as previously con- stituted" on the day the charter goes into effect, which was last Monday. But the charter states. that appointments to these de- partments shall take effect July 1. The water, police, fire, park, and public works commissions were also scheduled to end Monday as administrative bodies. As such, they can be replaced by advisory bodies at the council's discretion. The Planning Commission and the Board of Health have charter status, and thus cannot legally be replaced. According to City At- torney William M. Laird, no escape provision can be found. A charter amendment would take too much time to offer much relief. Laird suggested that the mem- bers of the bodies can probably be appointed to meet on an informal basis until July 1. Lawrence H. Ouimet, chairman of the Charter Study Commission which formu-!

Eisenhower, mum on re- ports he has decided to veto the farm bill, may make a nationwide TV-radio address next week to ex- plain whatever action he takes. As the President awaited the arrival of Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson for a conference today on the controversial election year bill, White House Press Sec- retary James C. Hagerty said Pres- ident Eisenhower is thinking about going to the American people on the politically hot issue.j Haagerty Cautiousj Hagerty cautioned newsmen against concluding that consider- ation President Eisenhower is gt- ing to the idea of a TV-radio talk means necessarily that the Presi- dent already has made up his mind to veto the bill, which he has called unworkable. :l He said President Eisenhower may go on the air "whatever ac- tion he takes"-whetaher he signs or vetoes the measure which Con- gress approved despite vigorous administration objections to cer- tain major provisions. Ike May Veto Reports persisted that Eisen- hower will announce a veto when he returns to Washington next week from a working Augusta va- cation but Hagerty refused to dis- cuss the reports. Hagerty said a decision regard- ing a Presidential TV-radio talk "quite probably" will be made at the President's conference today with Secretary Benson. The agriculture secretary, who also has sharply criticized the farm bill, will be joined at the session by a team of administration aides from Washington. Key Democrats in Congress have said President Eisenhower must sign the bill or get no farm legisla- tion this year. Gaar took his undergraduate work at the University. His able teammate, Madden from New Jersey came from Princeton. Justice Cark in a statement to the Daily said "~It is about the finest competition I have been to." A group of singing law students, the Psurfs, dedicated a song of "Dixie" to Justice Clark. In his remarks he said, "I don't know if they are singing Dixie to me down in Dixie now or not." McAllister Comments The Hon. Thomas F. McAllister, Judge of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals said, "all of us felt the opening arguments were beauti- fully presented, much better than most of the arguments on the 6th Circuit Court." The third federal judge on the bench, J. Edward Lumbard of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals (New York) listed three points that impressed him. The know- ledge of the case, speaking with- out notes, and the ability to answer the questions asked. Med Schools To -Observe Special Week The achievements and problems of Michigan's two medical schools and of the 79 others in the na- tion will be presented to the people of Michigan during Medical Education Week, April 22-28. The President of the Michigan State Medical Society, William S. Jones, M.D., of Menominee, has asked other- medical and health groups in Michigan to present a statewide program of information during that week. Governor G. Mennen Williams said in a proclamation setting April 22-28 as the first national observance of the special week. "Each of us is aware of the mag- nificent strides medicine has made in improving the health of our people." World News Roundup By The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga.-United States General Alfred M. Gruenther's re- tirement by the year's end as su- preme commander of allied forces in Europe was announced yester- day by President Dwight D. Eisen- hower. To succeed Gruenther - who asked to be relieved-Eisenhower chose American Gen. Lauris Nor- stad, a brilliant strategist and the first Air Force officer ever picked for the top NATO military post. Nomination of Norstad, now air deputy to Gruenther, was ratified promptly in Paris by the North At- lantic Treaty Organization Coun- cil. LANSING - Gov. G. Mennen Williams signed yesterday but criticized an $1,827,336 supple- mental appropriations bill for var- ious state agencies, and institu- tions, including $50,000 for the Farmington Children's Hospital. The Governor, who had asked $90;000 in the bill for Farmington, said that because of the reduction only about 50 or 69, rather than 150, more mentally retarded child- ren can be placed in the institu- tion by June 30. * * * WASHINGTON-Sen. Hennings (D-Mo) advised the Senate not to become embroiled in another de- bate on the Bricker amendment, a contraversial proposal to limit the treaty-making power. Saying that many important measures are pending in Congress he added that "neither the Senate nor indeed the people of this country, can afford weeks wasted in an exercise of futility while the various Bricker amendments and Dirksen substitutes are sol- emnly debated in the Senate, year after year." Shelton Fined For Contempt' WASHINGTON (A') -- A Cornell University zoology professor who refused to identify his former Communist colleagues, was fined $100 and given a three-month sus- pended jail sentence yesterday on a contempt of Congress charge. United States District Judge Burnita Shelton Matthews told Prof. Marcus Singer, she took into consideration the fact he gave the House Committee on Un-American Activities a "great deal of infor- mation" voluntarily. She said the committee regarded this informa- tion as of "substantial benefit." Interest High Oan Proposed Rent Boost IHC To Discuss Inerease Monday By VERNON NAHRGANG A proposal to increase room and board rates in tAe Residence Halls $20 a year was yesterday's discus- sion topic among quadrangle stu- dents, many of whom were curious as to what action the Inter-House Council would take. At the same tme, former IHC President Tom Bleha, '56, an- nounced the council would hold its special meeting, to discuss the pro- posal, at 7:30 p.m. Monday in East Quadrangle. Bleha also reported members of the administration would be pres- ent to answer the delegates' ques- tions. Residents Concerned Meanwhile, concerned residents of the University's housing units recalled action taken by the IHC on a proposed $50 rate increase last year. At that time, the IHC, "reluct- antly accepted" the proposed in- crease, but provided that five con- ditions must be met. Bleha, who hinted at Thursday's meeting that this would be the best'action for the council to take this year, said yesterday he thought three of the five condi- tions had been met. IHC Given Part He said IHC had been given a part in planning for new Residence Hall units, that the salary of staff assistants had been increased and IHC had been given some choice in staff selection, and that the possi- bility of alumni and Development Council aid in finance had been examined. However, Bleha said the remain- ing two conditions had not been met. The contract termination pol- icy had not been re-evaluated, and a differential rate scale between upperclassmen and freshmen had not been seriously reconsidered. 'U' Rates High At the last council meeting, the former IHC president pointed out "at the present time, Northwestern is leading the field in Residence Halls rates, with Wisconsin and Michigan tied for second." However, he pointed out, there are many factors involved that differ in the case of each school. Tuesday, after IHC's special meeting, the proposed $20 increase is scheduled to be presented to the Residence Halls Board of Gover- nors and then to the Regents on Friday. Meets Payroll Costs A report from the University's Finance Office pointed out the proposed increase would up room and board rates as much as 102 per cent over 1939 figures for com- parable rooms. =Rationale given for the increase is it must meet increased payroll costs for full-time employes and cover board for the additional three days under the revised school calendar. -Daily-Donna Hanson ' SGC PRESIDENT Bill Adams, center, discusses plans for coming year with Vice-President Janet Neary and Treasurer Joe Collins. $4,000 PLUS: Tag Dayv Bucket .Drive Reaches Record Mark By BILL HANEY The Tag Day officials were "very impressed and thankful" for the record $4,000-plus contributions poured into buckets for the Fresh Air Camp the past two days. Officials of Junior Intra-Fraternity Council and Junior Pan- Hellenic, sponsors of the drive, said the donations from the pockets of University faculty members and students as well as Ann Arbor resi- dents would enable 250 under- privileged boys to go to the Uni- versity Fresh Air Camp. Forty Buckets Last year the drive netted only $2,800 dollars' for the two days, while that total was almost match- ed the first day this year as 1,000 faculty members, students and townspeople manned 40 buckets located throughout campus and downtown areas. The funds from the drive will make up one-third of the camp's budget next summer. The remain- der of the costs-academic, admin- istrative, and maintenance will be met by the University Summer Session. The faculty was not solicited in a separate campaign this year as in the past. Immediate Use Some of the funds will go into use this spring as fraternity and sorority pledges will work on necessary repairs and improve- ments at the Camp to prepare it for the coming seven-week Sum- mer Session. Bert Getz, '59E, Mary Tower, '59, and Sally Steketee, '59 were the general chairmen from Junior IFC and Junior Pan-Hel who help- ed push the drive to the all-time high. Other committee chairmen were Joan Taylor, '59 and John Gerber, '59; Publicity committee. Emory Griffin, '59, and Charlotte Bopp, '59; Post and Bucket committee. Co-chairmen of finances were Jim Richman, '59 and Kay Byers, '59. Ci ty Z oning Raises New Proble s The redistricting of Ann Arbor into five wards will cause prob- lems for county political cohmit- tees, it appeared Thursday night at the Democratic County Com- mittee meeting held in Ann Ar- bor. The Committee decided to seat delegates to the county conven- tion April 26 according to the old ward framework. The convention will elect 19 delegates and 19 al- ternates to the June 2 state con- vention,. Delegates were elected before the new charter was effected, in August, 1954. The apportionment of delegates to be elected in the approaching August primaries to serve until 1958 was proved an even knottier problem. Action was taken to allow a block of delegates to the city of Ann Arbor with their allotment throughout the city precincts to be determined by the Ann Arbor City Democratic Committee. The Committee would use a formula based on the 1954 vote for Secre- tary of State in Ann Arbor. According to Mrs. Howard Blackenburg of Ypsilanti, Demo- cratic County Chairman, delegates to the county convention election in August will have the function of selecting delegates to the state conventions of the fall of this year and the spring of 957. Local Woman Makes Finals In Contest A versatile Ann Arbor housewife was a finalist in the "Mrs. Michi- gan" contest this week. Joan C. Conover, of 631 Second St., was picked as a finalist in the contest, judged Tuesday &fter- noon in Detroit. Entrants were jujged on their poise, charm, homemaking ability, Pick Neary veep; Colins, Treasurer Outgoing Berliner Commends Council By DICK SNYDER Bill Adams, '57BAd, was elected by acclamation yesterday as the second President of Student Gov- ernment Council. He will be assisted in his duties during the copiing term by Janet Neary, '58, and Joe Collins, '58, newly-elected Vice-President and Treasurer, respectively. The elections were presided over in the League by Hank Berliner, '5d, who headed the Council during its initial year of operation. Berliner commended SGC mem- bers for "your devoted service to me and student government in general." He was presented an engraved gavel by Adams following the ba- loting, Elected by Acclamation Adams, a 21-year-old pr-law major from Grosse Poite, was elected by acclamation on tnotion by Daily Managing Editor Dave Baad, '56, when it was announced that he was unopposed for the presidency. Adams is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sphinx, Junior men's honorary. He served as Council Treasurer prior to the election. Miss Neary was opposed by Rod Comstock, '56E, and Tom Saw- year, '58. She received the neces- sary majority of votes on the first ballot to take over the chair vaca- ted by Joel Tauber, '57 BAd. A 19-year-old Pi Beta Phi, the political science major hails from Des Moines, Iowa. During the last Council term, she served as chair- man of the National and Inter- national Affairs Committee. Member of Wyvren Miss Neary is a member of Wyv ren, junior women's honorary, and was Vice-President of Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman wom- en's scholastic honorary.

A resident of South Quad's Scott House, the 21'-year-old Collins is a social studies major from Jack- son. The three-member Executive Committee will interview newly- elected Council members Monday for appointment to committee chairmanships. Operetta Run ]Ends Today. This afternoon and this evening mark the last performances of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society's "The Mikado," at the Lydia Mendels- sohn Theatre. One of Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular operettas, "The Mik- ado'"has Japane e background and characters, quite out of line with the duo's usual British plot. The idea, however, is still aimed at British society and government. The story itself centers around a love triangle between Yum-Yum, a beautiful young maiden, Nanki- Poo, a traveling minstrel and Ko- Ko, the Local High Executioner and Yum-Yum's guardian. Yum-Yum is betrothed to Ko- Ko, but is not in love with him. Nanki-Poo comes on the scene and declares his love for the young girl. The plot becomes hilariously en- tangled when the Mikado, the em- peror, tells Ko-Ko that if someone isn't executed immediately, the post of Lord High Executioner will be abolished and the city of Titipu reduced to the rank of a village. As in the end of all Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, the various mix- uns are all settled and "everyone BEAUTY AND PRACTICALITY: New Ann Arbor High School 'Hard To Leave' By ALLAN ST Next fall's fresh Arbor High School ly be a somewhat e It would be ve anyone to leave t million dollar sch have just occup twinge of regret.
