Soil Bank Bill Passed; Democrats
Defeat Advance Payment Plan

I

WASHINGTON (A)-The House passed a new farm bill yesterday
approving President Dwight D. Eisenhower's soil bank program but
denying him authority to advance farmers 500 million dollars in soil
bank benefits this year.'
Democrats denounced the advance payments plan as an attempt
to buy farm votes in the November election. In the major test of the
day, they defeated a pre-payments amendment 181-157 on almost
a straight party line vote.

BICYCLES AND STUDENTS-Owners of many bicycles talk, attempt to read an assignment, and
consider the thought that, as a result of standing in line now, they will not have to worry about
their bicycles being ticketed or impounded in the future because they bear no licenses.
He-
Bicycle Owners Face Heavy Lines"
License Sale To Continue Tomorrow

By MARILYN WOOD,
Approximately 2,000 students-
purchased bicycle licenses yester-
day in the Administration Build-
ing.
By 3:15 p.m. the supply was ex-
hausted.
Some of the students remaining
in line with their applications
trudged over to 'the city clerk's
office only to find another wait-
ing line. Others decided to wait
until today when lines will again
form in the Administration Build-
ing.
Although sales were heavier yes-
terday than had been anticipated,
Ann Arbor police gave tickets to
students whose bicycles did not
yet carry a license.
Student Comments
"They (the police aepartment)
must want to balance their bud-
get," Nancy Holmes, '57, said
while standing midway in a lic-
ense line.
Revenue from student's bicycles
is of no major concern to the Ann
Arbor police department, Lieu-
tenant Walter Crasny remarked.
"We are trying to find who owns
the bicycles that are brought in
here," he said.
Students Find Number
To' be eligible for a license a
bicycle must be adorned with aj
light and a bell-both in working
condition. There is no argument
when a student says, "But I bought
this paraphernalia and it was
stolen."
Students must get out the eye-

glasses and serape mud from the
bicycle's rear tire to find the ser-
ial number which is requested on
the license application. The police
department has offered to bestow
a new set of numbers upon a "bi-
cycle without a serial."
LSA To Hold
Conference
A Literary College Steering Com-
mittee Conference on "Why a
Liberal Education: The Function
of a Literary College" will be held
at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the
Union.
Opening the discussion will be
a brief panel presentation of Pro-
fessor Arthur M. Eastman and
Marvin Felheim, both of the Eng-
lish department, and Roger W.
Heyns of the psychology depart-
ment and assistant to the dean of
the literary college.

Other identification needed on,
the application is the make and
color of the bicycle.
Since all applications must be
signed by a person over 21, Dean
of Men Walter B. Rea has been a
parent to several hundred stu-
dents. His signature, stamped in
the lower left-hand corner by his
office staff, makes the applica-
tion official.
Lewis Comments
Looking at the bicycle situation
as a real problem, Vice-Presdient
of Student Affairs James A. Lewis
commented, "It's not just a ques-
tion of licensing, but of courtesy
and safety, too."
He said, however, that it is not
unreasonable that bicycles should
be licensed. Ann Arbor police are
justified in their actions, he re-
marked.
Today lines will form again in
the Administration Building from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. when students
wait to purchase bicycle licenses.

Self-Defense Right Still Held
Heading home now by way of
Cairo and Rome, he said the agree-
ments were unconditional, with a
reservation as to self-defense.
The right of self-defense is held
by all nations under the UN Char-
ter.
The new agreements are intend-
ed to reinforce cease-fire pledges
made by Israel and her Arab
neighbors in the armistice agree-
ments that ended the Palestine
war of 1948.
Conditions Improved
Hammarskjold told the Security
Council conditions in the Gaza
area, long a center of bloodshed
and tension, have "considerably
improved as a result of strict or-
ders" issued by the Israeli and
Egyptian governments.
"The cease-fire I have aimed at
under my mandate from the Secu-
rity Council is one governed by a
reaffirmation by the governments,
given to the United Nations, to
comply unconditionally with the
fundamental Clause of the various
armistice agreements and estab-
lishes anew the legal situation on
which the armistice regime has to
be founded."
He will make a full report to
the Council at a meeting expected
to be called by Council President
Joza Brilej of Yugoslavia late next
week.

SEGREGATION:
Laws Indirectly A ffect,
Common Prejudices
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth in a series of six articles on seg-
regation in the United States as viewed from the standpoints of educa-
tion, law, anthropology, history and political science.)
By MARY ANN THOMAS
Psychologists and sociologists played an important role in the
Supreme Court's ruling against segregation, but the decision raised1
an old question: Is it possible to legislate morals?
Prof. Helen Peak of the psychology department believes that laws
do have an effect on behavior. "In some sense," she explained, "they
set standards that give people an idea of what is expected of them
in society."
"But laws are only one factor in determining what people do,"

BRAKES NOT NEEDED:
Cabinet Officers Report
Economy Still Booming
WASHINGTON VP)-Tivo of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
Cabinet officers yesterday reported the nation's economy is continuing
to boom, and questioned the need of applying anti-inflationary brakes.
Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks, reporting a new record
high for personal income and a continuing high rate for the gross
national product, said he still has a "cheery optimism" about the
economic outlook despite soft spots in automobiles and home building.
Figures Show Substantial Increase
Weeks said employment figures due to come out soon will show
a substantial increase in the number of workers with jobs. The March
employment figure, issued last
month was 63,078,000.
