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. ;,. i. X J, ., 1 1 i y 1. l..

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.

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.
