Eden said last night: "It may be that the immediate dangers of war have receded."; "The London discussions could be important," Eden said in a television appearance. "They could be the beginning of the beginning." Premier Nikolai Bulganin and Communist Party leader Nikita Khrushchev had raised British hopes with a last-minute promise that the Soviet Union would welcome a ban on arms shipments to $the Middle East-provided other Democralts Propose Own Farm iBill* WASHINGTON VP) - A new Democratic farm bill, stripped of many features obdectionable to the Eisenhower administration, started out yesterday on what still may be a stormy voyage through the House., It was introduced by Rep. H. D. Coley (D-NC), chairman of the Agriculture Committee, as an "of- ficial" Democratic substitute for legislation President Dwight D. Eisenhower vetoed April 16.' The bill contains a soil bank plan but not the authority Presi- dent Eisenhower requested to pay farmers this year for cropland they agree to put in the soil bank next year. Republicans are expected to con- centrate on getting this 'authority into the measure. President Eisen- hower has suggested that up to 500 million dollars in advance soil bank payments be distributed among farmers to give them some finan- cial help in the 1956 growing sea- son.- Missing from the Cooley bill are provisions for supporting basic crops at 90 per cent of parity-a proposition President Eisenhower refused to accept on the ground it would encourage more surpluses, the major farm headache. The absence of these provisions, however, will draw fire from some Democrats and result in another fight on the House floor. $- U' To Host State Students "University Day" today is ex- pected to draw 1200 high school students from all over the state. The visitors will meet at 9 a.m. in Hill Auditorium to hear a talk by Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis.

The students will then tour the campus, including residence halls, fraternities and sororities. After lunch they will again meet in Hill for a variety show emceed by G .Edgar Meads, '56, football team captain. The University's schools arid colleges will hold open houses for the visitors followed by a mixer at the Union. Parents of the visitors will be entertained at a separate campus tour including the North Campus, followed by a coffee hour at the Union attended by deans of the + schools and colleges. Johnson To Have New Court Trial Harold Johnson pleaded inno- cent today to the charge of first degree murder for the death of his three-year-old daughter. After being brought from South- ern Michigan Prison at Jackson, Johnson appeared before Circuit Court Judge Breakeywho senten- ced him in Arn Arbor on March 3 to life imprisonment for the mur- der of his youngest daughter Mar- garet. Johnson's attorney, Ralph C. Keyes, withdrew from the case at this morning's session, and will be replaced by appointment of Judge Breakey. TT Vf A 9Lif A f f A nations were similarly pledged. Some experts considered Khru- shchev's reply to a question on that point as perhaps the most signifi- cant public statement the Russians made during their 10-day visit. He said: Ship No Arms "We in our country do not ship arms to anybody and we would like to see no shipments at all. But such shipments are taking place. I'think we would answer wrongly if we were to say that we would not. sell arms to the states which urge us to do so, and the reason for that is that shipments are being made by other countries. "If it were possible to agree, through the United Nations or otherwise, that this would not take place, we would only welcome that and be prepared to take part in such an undertaking, which would help bring about peaceful condi- tions in the troubled areas of the world." Eden to Return Visit Bulganin admitted their negoti- ations with Eden had sometimes struck "underwater rocks." But Moscow was preparing a triumphal reception for Communism's super- salesmen. There were prospects for further mutual, efforts toward settling British-Russian differences with Eden's acceptance of an invitation to visit Moscow. No date has been fixed. Eden parried criticism of his in- vitation--extended at the Geneva summit conference last July-to the Russians. He said the idea of giving up discussions entirely would be "a council of despair," and that the London parley had led to a larger measure of agree- ment that he expected. Increased Trade One result of the talks, he re- ported, should be a real improve- ment in nonstrategic goods, a trade which he said can help build last- ing peace. "We will not be parted froni our friends," he said, clearly directing that assurance to the United States.nNor will we abandon our vital interests, but we will seek agreement where we can. Better U.S. Relations Bulganin suggested Britain could help the Soviet Union establish good relations with the United States. "Our relations with the United States are far from suffi- ciently normal, a fact 'which we regret, and we, for our part, will do everything to insure that the relations . .. will improve."' The Soviet premier and the Communist boss were impressive and cagy in the news conference, their first in the West. Millions of British TV fans saw them smile and sweat under floodlights, spic- ing sharp answers with gags, through a 90-minute stint with 500 newsmen. House OK's Roads Tax Legislationt Senate Passage Thought Certain WASHINGTON (P)-The House of Representatives yesterday swift- ly approved the biggest United States road-building program in history and agreed to raise taxes on gasoline, tires, trucks and trail- ers to help pay for it. The 51.5 billion-dollar bill was approved, 386-19, and sent to the Senate where passage is considered certain. The House vote came after all major attempts to alter the bill had been defeated. The Bureau of Public Roads es- timated the average motorist would pay $8.83 a year in higher taxes to help cover the costs of the huge 13-year project. The average motorist is one who drives about 10,000 miles a year. 40,000 Miles The measure provides for con- struction over the next 13 years of some 40,000 miles -of interstate 'highways. ;This project linking most state capitals, would cost 27.5 billion dollars. The Federal Gov- ernment would pay 90 per cent and the states 10 per cent. The bill is high on President Eisenhower's list of must legisla- tion. A similar measure died last session because of a Democratic- administration quarrel over finan- cing plans. Raise 14.8 Billion Dollars The new tax provisions would raise 14.8 billion dollars over the next 16 years. Federal taxes on gasoline and Diesel fuel would be raised from 2 to 3 cents a gallon. Taxes on tires would be raised 3 cents a pound and manufacturers taxes on trucks, buses and trailers would be increased by 2 per cent. In addition, another 5 billion dollars would be diverted from other tax revenues into a special highway trust fund. UCLA Bd Overruled The Student Legislative Council of the University of California has been stripped of its control over an upcoming student body elec- tion. According to the Daily Califor- nian, UCLA's student newspaper, this came as a result of its re- fusal last week to accept and put into effect an administration di- rective concerning the election. The directive, which abolishes some offices of the SLC and cre- ates certain others, was first acted on by SLC two weeks ago when the Council voted not to accept it. Upon a request from the ad- ministration to reconsider, the Council again voted and again re- fused. The administration then took over the election. SGC President Comments President Bill Adams, '57 BA and Vice-President Janet Neary, '58. of SGC here at the Univer- sity, both expressed concern over the situation at UCLA. Adams commented, "Since the student government and the University Administration should both be working toward the same goal, the welfare and education of the stu- dent body, it would seem that they could find a more orderly solution to the problem. Ex-MSU Ohio State's Attack on 'U'N Ir Greenglass Regrets Aid In Spy Case WASHINGTON (P) - David Greenglass took a painful look into the past yesterday and said some- times "I have been sorry" about helping send his sister, Ethel Ros- enberg, to the electric chair as an atom spy for Russia, But he said she and her hus- band, Julius, could have saved themselves from a Sing Sing exe- cution just by putting up a hand, saying "stop" and telling the truth. "It's a hard thing to be called a murderer by people," Greenglass told the Senate Internal Security subcommittee. "But it is a much harder thing to deliberately mar- tyr yourself for a completely er- roneous cause. That is the most hypocritical and ridiculous thing you can do." Rosenberg Trial Greenglass was the key witness against the Rosenberga in a sen- sational trial in 1951 that resulted in conviction and their execution in 1953. He, himself, is a con- fessed and convicted spy who helped filch secrets of the atom bomb at Los Alamos, N.M., where he was stationed as an Army ser- geant. Gold at Hearing Gold sat a few feet away, puffing on a pipe, while Greenglass re- lated that his brother-in-law got him into espionage. Greenglass told of passing secret information to Rosenberg on four occasions-including a drawing of the atomic bomb based on infor- mation and conversations at Los Alamos. He said Rosenberg told him that he- Rosenberg - had stolen an actual proximity fuse' for the Soviets while serving as a Signal Corps inspector. Pledges Clean Camp During Next Weekend The University's Fresh Air Camp near Pinckney will receive a thor- ough spring cleaning next week by more than 400 fraternity and sorority pledges. Sponsored jointly by Junior Panhel and Junior IFC, the camp- wide clean-up will be the biggest "Help Week" in the University's history. Eighty pledges a day will spend their afternoons cleaning up the camp's grounds, clearing land, and getting camp equippent in top shape for the 250 Michigan young- sters who use the camp this sum- mer. The camp is supported with funds from U-M Tag Days, Michi- gras, alumni donors, and com- munity welfare agencies for the benefit of children from broken homes. ~Grid Fund Charges Cailed 'I idiulus Oosterbaan, Crisler Also Hit Claims Of OSU Man in Unqualified Letter By LEE MARKS and DAVE GREY Former Michigan State Big Ten representative Edgar Harden yesterday flatly denied the existence of a list of "names, dates and places" intended to pitove that Michigan has a $100,000-a-year athletio "slush fund."" Reacting to their one-year probation and Rose Bowl suspension imposed Thursday, Ohio State partisans circulated a letter in Columbus early yesterday charging that Michigan richly rewards its football players.

Indiana Joits 'M', 9w5 In Wild Eleventh Inning By JIM BAAD After holding out for ten innings, a barrage of bunts in the eleventh smothered Michigan 9-5, in yesterday's initial Conference contest with Indiana. This afternoon at 1:30, the Wolverines will try and break into the winning column of the Big Ten Standings when they take on Ohio State in a double header at Ferry Field.

Howard Melish, Brooklyn clergyman. Melish is temporary minister of the Protestant Episcopal Holy Trinity church. His opponents in the congregation have been trying to remove him, mainly because of his leftist leanings. * * * DETROIT-Two more religious groups today joined in criticizing the pro-segregation views of Or- ville Hubbard, mayor of suburban Dearborn. The Catholic Interracial Council of Detroit said Hubbard's publicly expressed dedication to "keeping Negroes out of Dearborn" is a vio- lation of Catholic principles that "all men are equal in the sight of God and that racial segregation as such is morally wrong and sin- ful." The Michigan Catholic, official publication of the Archdiocese of Detroit, in an editorial referred to a Hubbard statement "I am for complete segregation, one million' per cent on all levels" as a de- nial of American rights and "il- legal, immoral and indefensible.", Ounstoppable bunting attack. It took three Michigan pitchers to re- tire the side. Mark Ferrelli, who had replaced starter Don Poloskey in the ninth inning, yielded the first three bunts to Indiana's Jack Applegate, Joe Mills, and Neil Skeeters. Jim Clark was then summoned into the ball game. He gave up a walk to pinch hitter Sam Reed, sending in one run and then Bill Smith, Indiana's third pitcher and the eventual winner, knocked in two more with a sharp single over second base. Leadoff man Duffy Franklin tried the fourth bunt of the inning' and reached first safely when Clark threw wide to first. After the next batter popped out, Art Herring lined a sizzling drive to deep center field. Up until this final inning, the game had been a tight one all the See WOLVERINES, Page 3 Conference Meets Today Final session of the spring meet- ing of the Michigan Driver and!

Driver education instructors from throughout the state will attend the two-day meeting. The group will visit the engineering laboratories of an area automobile 'corporation Friday. made in a social gathering in Cleveland. It quoted Harden as saying in effect that MSU "had to be alert" in order to keep up with Michigan in recruiting athletes. Michigan athletic administra- tors, coaches and players all termed the rumored fund absurd. They flatly denied it existed and laughed at the reports. Contacted in Columbus, Fullen told The Daily the letter was never intended for publication and' that he would not discuss it fur-1 ther. 'No Such List' Reached in East Lansing, Har- den, said concerning the list he was supposed to have had, "There is no such list to my knowledge." He admitted that the claims were "extravagant" and that "natural gibes were exchanged regarding recruiting. "It is inconceivable to me," Har- den commented, "that the spirit of the evening's discussion, a dis- cussion centered in a purely social situation, should be reviewed by anyone six months later." Harden also said he had no idea when he made the claim that it wounld go beyond the hotel room where it was made. The social session was held in the suite of OSU Athletic Director Don Larkins at Cleveland's Hol-; lenden Hotel. Crisler Comments Michigan's' Athletic Director H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler, contacted in Phoenix, Ariz., where 'he was. scheduled to speak, claimed, "The charge is entirely without founda- tion . . utterly fantastic. I have no idea who the donors could be who are reported to have contrib- uted." Crisler's "technique," as report-' ed by Fullen, was .supposed to in- clude having 100 wealthy men who contribute $1,000 a year each to the players. According to the ru- mor Crisler was supposed to have told the alumni to get men and not bother him with details.) Crisler commented further that the burden of proof rests totally with Ohio State. Oosterbaan Says "Ridiculous" In Ann Arbor, Head Coach Ben- nie Oosterbaan called the' charge "ridiculous." Of the reported 100 wealthy men, Oosterbaan said, "Tell them to name one." Freshman Coach Wallyi Weber brushed off the charges as innocu- ous. Football Captain Tom Maentz, '57, halfback and Terry Barr, '57, among others, said they had never heard of such a fund. It was last Thursday that Ken- neth (Tug) Wilson, Big Ten Com- missioner, slapped the probation on Ohio State after a three-month investigation into the giving of ex- cessive financial aid and loans by Ohio States coaches and officials. Neither OSU or Michigan State, who went to the Rose Bowl last year and is therefore ineligible, will be able to represent the Big Ten in California next January. Koelz Given Meyer Med The Frank N. Meyer Medal of the American Genetic Association was awarded to Walter N. Koelz, collaborator in Asiatic Research at the University for his work as a U .S. Doubts Reds Sincere-. On Embargoa WASHINGTON (A)-The United States reacted with more suspicion than hope yesterday to Russia's reported readiness to support a United Nations embargo on arms shipments to the Middle East. The Soviet attitude expressed-- by Communist party, boss Nkita Khrushchev at a London news conference had all the earmarks of a trap designed to cut off United States and British military siw- port for anti-Communist countries In the strategic Middle East. In essence, it looks like a So- viet device for breaking up the Baghdad Pact by saying to the United States and Britain: This is the Moscow price for halting Com- munist arms shipments to Egypt. If that is the Russian plan, highly placed authorities said here yesterday the United States would have no part of it. They declared that this country would not try to settle one problem-that of So- viet bloc arms shipments to Egypt -by creating another, meaning to weaken over-all resistance in the region to Soviet pressures. Officials here said there is al- ways a possibility that Khrush- chev and Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin are seriously interested in peace in Palestine. If that is true, they said, the London com- ment could have very great im- portance for the future of an Arab- Israeli settlement. The American government has repeatedly blamed the Soviet bloc sale of arms to Egypt for the unbalancing of power in the area and for increased dangers of war since last fall. - The Soviet policy, which had been strongly pro-Arab for six months, began to shift on the eve of the Khrushchev-Bulganin visit to London. The Moscow Foreign Office announced Russia would support the United Nations peace efforts. Grad Faces Possible Trial Sharlene Duncan, graduate stu- dent of the University, was ex- amined for trial Thursday by the municipal court of Ypsilanti in connection with two counts of neg- ligent homicide. Miss Duncan was arrested by state police after her car killed two Wayne county highway repairmen March 28 on the Willow Run Ex- pressway in Ypsilanti township.
