This developed as Hammarskjold was in Rome completing a report to the Security Council on his Middle East peace mission. Hammarskjold leaves for New York by air today. Prospects are that Security Council members will take a few days to study the report of his 25-day mission and meet in about a week. Only then will the world know the precise pledges made by Israel on one side and Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon separately Reports of Bomber La Picture -Ike: ES Red Rulers Rep al Two Stalin Laws MOSCOW ()-The Soviet Union ha's repealed two laws of Joseph Stalin that helped secret police get treason and sabotage confes- sions for the purge trials, of the 1930s. The bulletin of the Supreme So- viet Parliament revealed this in an issue that came into the hands of Western correspondents yes- terday., It published a decree of the So- viet's Presidium that nullified the two laws and forbade the police to use "special procedures" in in- vestigating persons accused under the articles of the criminal code on treason, terrorism and damage of state property by sabotage. Both laws were promulgated by Stalin, one on Dec. 1, 1934. and the other on Sept. 14, 1937. They permitted the police to by-pass what is now declared to' be normal Socialist legal procedure to obtain confessions. The decree, dated April 19, took * up only two paragraphs in the bulletin. It said that henceforth, "regular procedures will be used in conformance with the criminal code" in dealing with the crimes mentioned. It was the latest step in a cam- paign to do away with extra le- gal features of Soviet justice such as prevailed in the last years of Stalin's rule. He was in power for three decades as party chief or prime minister until he died in 1953. Communist party chief Nikita S. Khrushchev demanded such a po1- q. icy in a speech at the party's 20th Congress here in February. Two weeks ago the country's leading law review, Soviet State and Law, called for "the strict- est observance of legality" in in- vestigations and prosecutions. It said tri 1 by confession "denies the need for a court to establish the absolute truth in each case." The next day the bulletin of the Supreme Soviet disclosed that the Presidium had set up a special watchdog committee to inspect and supervise the work of state security organs, criminal and civil courts, and prisons. U'Conducts Large-Scale pollen Study By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - University Prof. E. Wendell Hewson of the meteorology department announ- ced yesterday that the University is now conducting "the most com- prehensive study ever undertaken" to combat a "health hazard" for many parts of the nation-rag- weed. Some hay fever-suffering prison- ers at Southern Michigan prison have volunteered to help in the study. Prof. Hewson said the combined forces of weathermen, plant ex- perts, medical and public health doctors, and even aviators, are be- ing brought to bear in a single co- ordinated effort to solve riddles of the pesky pollen. The project-being conducted by the University with a $325,000 grant from the National Institute of Health-is a five-year effort which actually began late last summer. But it won't get "into high gear" until next month, Prof. Ti-.'ucm, ral i n, ,n intOrs a t -ion ttheher. Yesterday's .inter-Arab spat was short-lived but revealing. Lebanon accused Syria of be- trayal by granting a cease-fire without a written Israeli promise not to divert irrigation waters from the Jordan River. It took a grim hour of discussion by the Syrian and Lebanese pre- miers at Beirut before Lebanon ac- cepted the Syrian position that its letter covered the Jordan issue in another way. Evidence of the "positive re- sults" reported by Hammarskjold came along the Arab-Israeli front- iers. In the past 24 hours the only incident reported was the killing of an alleged Jordanian infiltra- tor by an Israeli patrol "Things are going. forward well," a Hammarskjold aide said last night. He had just come from the room where Hammarskjold, his truce supervisor, Maj. Gen. E4 L. M. B.urns, and the weary but happy UN peace team was editing a final report. Dulles Asks N ew ~lPlants PARIS (M)-Secretary of State John Foster Dulles yesterday called on the free world to marshal its vast moral and material resources in a new 10-year program for hold- ing back communism. Dulles told his 14 fellow foreign ministers of the' North Atlantic Treaty Organization that the West has checked Russia's advance at this juncture in world history. But Dulles declared that the Atlantic community now must map out a program for the next decade to counter the Kremlin's new soft tactics and win over to freedom the uncommitted peoples of Asia, Africa anl the Middie East He said that if the free world stands firm, it could foster an embryonic trend toward liberalism now discernible in the Soviet Union. -Daily-John Hirtzel ROUGH TRIP-Covered with brickdust, young Michigamua bucks begin tedious climb to Union tower, while Braves provide encour- agement.

STA TE LEGISLA TURE: Vote Set For Ma 10 On 'U' Capital Outlay Bill By JIM ELSMAN The State Legislature will assemble in Lansing on May on the University's $17,571,200 capital outlay bill. 10 tq votel Appropriation disputes over two projects have put the capital outlay bill in the hands of a House-Senate conference committee. When the Senate version of the bill was passed, it called for sums of $180,000 and $500,000 to be spent on two structures: a School of Music:building and a psychiatric research building. Both appropria- tions were struck by the House. The conference committee will present a compromise bill to the Legislature on May 10. Except for the conference committee, the Legislature is adjourned for the summer. The May 10 meeting follows the Legislature's yearly practice of convening shortly after'" N ott Says Staff's Chotiner Aid Not Unethical WASHINGTON ()-President Dwight D. Eisenhower said yester- day there are no grounds for be- lieving that Murray Chotiner's contacts with the White House violated the President's code of ethics for dealing with people who have friends in the government. Chotineri s the Beverly Hills, Calif., lawyer who managed Vice President Richard M. Nixon's cam- paign in 1952 and was a witness yesterday at a Senate hearing into charges of crookedness in contract- ing for military uniforms. Any Suggestions During the course of his testi- mony, Chotiner disclosed he got help from the White House on two occasions in connection with pri- vate law cases which had nothing to do with military uniforms. President Eisenhower was asked at his news conference whether he had any suggestions for handling people who have friends in gov- ernment and deal with the gov- ernment. The President replied he has given two specific orders in this regard and that they have been repeated often. No Arrogance The first order, he said, was that "any individual coming any- where in this government is first assured of courteous treatment. I will not stand for arrogance on the part of government officials." Secondly, the President went on emphatically, "if anyone ever comes to any part of this govern- ment and claiming some privilege for even to as low as introduction to an official he wants to meet on the basis that he is part of my family or of my friends, that he has any connection with the White House, he is to be thrown out in- stantly." No Grounds President Eisenhower then said there were "absolutely no grounds in these 'particular cases for be- lieving that my two rules were violated." Without ever mentioning Cho- tiner by name, he added: "In no case did any connection he had with the White House bene- fit him one bit, and if it ever does, if ever I-I can't believe that anybody on my staff would ever be guilty of an indiscretion. "But: if ever anything came to my attention of that kind, any part of this government, that in- dividual would be gone." British Strike LONDON ()- Automation has touched off a major strike in the British car industry, and there are widespread fears more work halts will take place before push-button techniques are established in fa- vorites here. In Coventry, about 12,000 work- ers of the Standard Motor Works walked out to protest the com- pany's plan to lay off more than 3,000 men for several months so the plant may be converted to automation processes. World News .Roundup By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES-Adlai Steven- son yesterday termed Vice Presi- dent Richard Nixon "a poisoner of campaigns." He said: "I do not feel Mr. Nix- on enjoys the admiration and con- fidence of the country as he en- joys the admiration and confi- dence of the President." Stevenson predicted that a Nixon-led campaign would back- fire on the Republicans this year. LONDON-The East-West dis- armament talks broke up in dis- agreement Friday but not without hope. Delegates to the five-nation UN Disarmament subcommittee con- ference prepared for a bout of backstage diplomacy during the next few months aimed at bridg- ing the differences between Russia and the West in readiness for an- other series of talks, probably this autumn. * * * N E W Y O R K-The sulphuric acid assault one month ago on labor columnist Victor Riesel has cost him the sight of both eyes. "There is no hope at all now that Victor Riesel will ever see again," Robert M. Hall, president of the syndicate that distributes Riesel's newspaper column nation- ally, said yesterday.

Half of Request From appropriations already agreed upon by both houses, it ap- pears that the University will get slightly less than half of its 1956- 57 capital outlay request of $17,- 571,200. University Vice President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Nie- huss voiced satisfaction and com- mended the Legislature for "doing a good job." Neihuss went on to say that "We will have to go a little slower in our expansion program. The Legis- lature did try to give us what we can spend during the next year." Requests for a School of Educa- tion structure and a Dental build- ing were mentioned by Neihuss as "two projects we especially wanted and didn't get." Large Requests Cut Almost two-thirds was lopped off both the $2,79.0,000 request for an undergraduate library and the $2,824,000 sought for a social science and language building. The University will get two- thirds of its $3,000,000 request for a medical science building, one- half of what it asked for a $1,920,- 000 fluids engineering unit. Encompassing new construction, remodeling, and additions, the capital outlay bill should be dis- tinguished from the University's $27,500,000 General Operations bill, which has already passed the Legislature.

South Africa Segregation, Discussed By ARLINE LEWIS "The only way to eradicate Apar- theid in South Africa is the way that Eisenhower got rid of Nazism," said Solomon Quaynor of the Gold Coast last night at the International Center. Quaynor was one of the partici- pants in an African-American dis- cussion concerned with possible solutions to the segregation prob- lem in the Union of South Africa, where 2 million whites dominate and exploit 12 million natives. Offering an alternative to solu- tion by force Theodore Schwartz of the Unitied States pointed; out that industrialization in the Afri- can country has led to new evalua- tions of native labor. '. This new evaluation, Schwartz said, might result in a favorable change through peaceful measures. John Bilson of Africa suggested that gradual improvement was doubtful. The problem is getting worse, he said, and recently the native's right for self education, one of his last remaining tools for improvement, has been removed. During the discussion many of the students representing Africa criticized the "passive" American policy. Bilson remarked that al- though public opinion is flagrantly opposed to the existing South Afri- can situation, the United States actually supported the Strydom government's policies through eco- nomic intercourse. -Daily-John Hirtzel DOUBLES ACTION-Michigan tennis player Dick Potter stretches for a low one in yesterday's win over Wisconsin, as teammate Barry MacKay watches. Michigan Neters Romp. To Win Over Wisconsin By BOB McELWAIN Michigan's undefeated tennis team swept to an easy 9-0 victory over a weak Wisconsin squad yesterday afternoon on the Varsity' courts. It was all Michigan, as the Badgers, who now sport an unim- pressive 1-4 slate, could salvage only one set the entire match. Expected to be a good tune-up for today's big contest against Indiana, the mismatch proved to be little more than a mild practice session for the Wolverines, who racked up their twenty-fourth con- secutive win. Captain Barry MacKay easily downed Al Hentzen, 6-2, 6-1. According to Coach Carl Sanger, the stocky Badger sophomore "played Calls Sea Force World's Finest WASHINGTON () - President Dwight D. Eisenhower said yes- terday that' when the "full pic- ture" of .America's defense is laid before the people, they will feel better than they have about re- ports of a lag in long-range jet bombers. These bombers are just a part of the picture, he told his news con- ference, and "there is still a lot of testimony to come forward." For one thing, the former five- star general said, no one has given testimony yet on what the Navy can do-"the most powerful navy in the world." "There is no navy that even ap- proaches it in power, and it fea. tures one thing-air power," Presi- dent Eisenhower said. "We have got a tremendous air power, a mobile air power in the sea forces . . . let's wait until we get this picture sort of all before us." He stressed, too, that, "We have bases around the world, establish- ed for the particular purpose of using the medium bomber." The President discussed ,the bomber situation in reply.-toque- tions based on Senate testimony by Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command, that at the present rate Russia may be ahead in. strategically long-range striking lower by 1958 or 1960. AEC Tests Sm-alSize ABOARD THE MT. McKINLEY OFF ENIWETOK (P)-A small atomic weapon, described in terms of a "nominal" 20,000 tons of. TNT, was exploded early yesterday at this mid-Pacific American prov- ing grounds. Fifteen newsmen and a score of Civil Defense officials, aboard this command ship witnessed the rat- er mild spectacle from a distance of 15 miles. They were the first outside observers permitted in the area since the two Bikini atomic blasts of 1946. In the current test series, plan- ned to include 10 or more nuclear devices, a big one is scheduled for Tuesday, U.S. date. Officials have said that it will be a large hydro- gen bomb, but not the largest, and that it will be the first American' air-drop of an H-bomb. Yesterday's comparatively small blast, inaugurating Operation Redwing, was touched off on the surface of Runit Island, one of the dots of land that make up Eniwetok Atoll. To observers peering through high-density goggles it was quick- ly over. There was a dot of white light, rapidly it yellowed and spread over the one-mile length on the island.

Michigan wasted no time in col- lecting the first of its runs, as leadoff man Moby Benedict slap- ped Wildcat pitcher Dale Pienta's first good pitch for a home *run. Pienta immediately recovered and set the next three batters down in order. Northwestern came fighting back in their half of the first inning. Ron Smith drew a walk leading off and Jim Asher and Ed Broeker followed with fielder's choices. With Broeker on first and two out, Bruce Gordon singled, sending the runner to third. When Gene Snider committed a passed ball, Broeker scampered in with the tying run. Poloskey ended the uprising by fanning catcher Chuck Lindstrom.- Pienta set down the Wolverines in the second stanza, allowing only one hit, 'but Poloskey did not fare as well. Brad Splinter led off with a single, followed by an infield cut and Bob Leitzow's fielder's choice. Pienta and Smith then rapped singles, scoring Leitzow, but Asher flied out to end the inning.

In' a second singles encounter, Dick Potter played well to ease by another promising Wisconsin sophomore, Don Curtis, 6-0, 6-2. After a hotly contested first set,' Michigan's Mark Jaffe turned on the steam in the second to whip Badger Captain Bill Ziemer, 7-5, 6-0. Wolverine sophomore Johnny Harris, improving with e a c h match, set down Dave Shepherd, 6-2, 6-3. Dale Jensen posted an identical 6-0 score in the first and third sets against Joe Weycer, but sand- wiched in between was a 3-6 set, which proved to be Michigan's lone lost set of the day.
