WASHINGTON (P)-The administration urged Congress yesterday
to invest an additional $4,900,000,000 in foreign aid as insurance
against "augmented dangers to the free world."
"Military assistance is still needed and defense efforts cannot be
relaxed in any degree," John B. Hollister, director of the International
Cooperation Administration, told the Senate Foreign Relations com-
mittee.

Committee
To Consider
S'U' Proposal
Would Give City
$60,000 More
By BILL HANEY
A University offer to pay 18 per
cent of the annual operating costs
of the Ann Arbor Fire Department
was referred to a special working
committee by the Council last
night.
The offer, which University of-
ficials thought would receive im-
mediate approval, would result in
$60;000 in additional revenue for
the city during the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1.
John S. Dobson, former council-
man and chairman of the coun-
cil's special committee, explained
that "approval of the agreement
would result in the University con-
tributing money for the first time
to costs of operating the Fire De-
partment."
'U' Loaned Truck
University help until now had
consisted of loaning a high pres-
sure fog truck and an aerial ladder
truck. The University's announce-
ment of the offer yesterday in-
cluded a proyision that ownership
of these would be transferred to
the city of the proposed agreement
met approval.
The offer is part of a proposed
agreement between the City
Council's special revenue commit-
tee and a committee of the Uni-
versity Regents.
Bicycle Action
The Council also took further
action on the bicycle parking and
riding problem.
An amendment passed last night
to the bicycle ordinance states
the City Council shall from
time to time designate certain
areas in the city in which it shall
be unlawful to ride or park bicycles
on -the sidewalks, streets, or the
area between the two.".
The police department shall post
warning signs in the designated
areas.
AU' Instructors
To Give Talks
At Conference
The Adult Education Institute
sponsored by Michigan State Fed-
eration of Women's Clubs and
University Extension Service opens
here today.
About 300 people, mostly wom-
en's club representatives, are ex-
pected to attend the two-day con-
ference.
eMain speaker today will be Prof.
James L. Zumberge, of the geology
department, who will speak at 10
a.m. on Michigan's heritage of
natural resources and the par it
has played in the development of
the state.
Following him will be English
Prof. Arthur J. Carr who will de-
scribe the cultural revolution being
wrought by the popular paperback
books. He will speak at 11 a.m.
These talks will be held in the
Rackham Amphitheater.
In the afternoon session sched-
uled for 2 p.m. in the Rackham
Lecture Hall, Prof. Preston W.
Slosson, of the history department
will tell about the confusion and
rapid changes in the world situa-
tion. /
Also speaking today will be Prof.'
James Wallace, of the music litera-
that the danger of military aggres-
sion is over.
"Communist military buildup in
any parts of the world and Com-
munist distribution of modern
weapons provide augmented dan-
gers to the free world."
The administration is asking
foreign aid funds for the fiscal
year beginning July 1.
Its new budget is $2,200,000,000
more than Congress voted last
year. Hollister, who runs the for-
eign aid program, said about three
billion .dollars worth of the new
money would be used for military
assistance.
Danger Remains
Under questioning by Senator
John Sparkman (D-Ala.), Hollis-
ter said "there always is danger"
of a renewal of fighting in Korea.
Without American help, he said,
Korea cannot "maintain in the
field the largest free world army in
Asia, facing a strong enemy across
a narrow demilitarized strip.
"The enemy may strike in new
aggression at any time," Hollister
testified.
Union Panel
To Discuss
'U' Athletics
Feeling the need for more "stu-
dent-faculty liaison," Larry Ratt-
ner, '57, announced- yesterday the
Union will sponsor a panel dis-
cussion, "What Place Intercollegi-
ate Athletics in the Modern Uni-
versity?" at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow
in the Union Ballroom.
"The need for this sort of thing
has been shown by the Inter-
House Council's faculty sympo-
siums and the literary college's
conferences," Rattner said.
"But the Union forum," he con-
tinued, "is much more interested
in University affairs. We will
bring in people from all depart-
ments."
On the panel tomorrow will be
Prof. Marvin Felheim, of the
English department, Lee Marks,
'57BAd, of The Daily, Prof. Marcus
L. Plant, of the Law School, and
freshman football coach Wally
.Weber.
Each of the panel members will
give an eight-minute speech to
start the forum on intercollegiate
athletics. Later, after formal dis-
cussion, the program will be open
to questions and comment from
the floor.
"It's a new thing with the Un-
ion," forum chairman and modera-
tor Rattner said. "We hope it
can be put on a monthly basis."
He pointed out that, although
tomorrow's forum is open to the
public, there is room for only 300
people in the Union ballroom.
Lead Taken
By Tydings

Ike, Estes Claim
National Votes
BALTIMORE (P) - Millard E.
Tydings claimed victory last night
in his comeback bid for Mary-
land's Democratic senatorial nomi-
nation.
Tydings, a senator for 24 years
before his 1950 defeat, hooked up
with George P. Mahoney in a tor-
rid race7which found them dead-
locked 76-76 in the state's unique
nominating unit vote.
Contractor Losing
But he held a slight edge in
popular votes-the deciding factor
in the event of a init vote tie-
and insisted the margin could not
be erased by figures from the few
still-unreported polling places.
Returns from 1,235 of 1,277 poll-
ing places showed 137,207 votes
for Tydings to 128,116 for Maho-
ney, Baltimore paving contractor
making his fourth bid for state-
wide office.
"I have 76 sure votes," said
Tydings. "With the popular vote,
that ensures my nomination."
Polling Favorable
Mahoney headquarters acknowl-
edged the unit vote tie but a
spokesman said the candidate
would withhold any "premature
statement" until the final tally
was in.
Most of the unreported polling
places were in Baltimore County,
considered a Mahoney stronghold.
At one stage in the tabulations,
with 740 polling places in, Tydings
held an 80-66 margin in unit votes.
Others Trailed
The other three candidates -
Andrew J. Easter, George W. Wil-
liams and Thomas L. Christian -
trailed hopelessly.
The fierce . Tydings - Mahoney
battle overshadowed interest in the
presidential preference primaries,
where President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower and Senator Estes Kefauver
(D-Tenn.) had the state's nomi-
nating votes tucked away.
Since neither write-in voting nor
crossing of party lines is legal in
Maryland primaries, the presiden-
tial preferenceresults were dis-
carded as indicators of relative
strength.
Democrats outnumber Republi-
cans in the state by 752,500 to
316,196.
Plan Changes
In Orientation
Next fall, for the first time at
the University, freshman and
t r a n s f e r students' orientation
groups will be made up of both
men and women.
Moreover, according to Robert
L. Garfield, director of orienta-
tion, next fall will see one of the
largest entering classes, with ap-
proximately 3100 new freshmen
and approximately 1200 transfer
students.
Each of the orientation groups
next semester will have both a man
and a woman leader.
Although the women have al-
ready been interviewed for the
positions, about 300 men are still
needed for group leader positions,
Garfield said.
Applications for orientation lead-
ers must be filed out this week,
between 3 and 5 p.m., in' the Stu-
dent Offices of the Union.

SENATOR WINNING:
Johnson Unlikely
on nActive Candidate
WASHINGTON (P)-Senate associates said yesterday they doubt
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex.) will become an active candidate
for the Democratic presidential nomination despite prospects of strong
Southern support for him in early balloting.
Sen. Johnson's preliminary victory over Texas Governor Allan
Shivers for control of the 56-vote Texas delegation to the party's
national convention brought open predictionsThere that many Southern
delegates from other states will swing behind him.
Johnson in Position
If he ratifies his precinct caucus victories in county conventions
Tuesday and the state convention May 22, several senators said Sen.

Held under the auspices of the

The Asian participants have al-

The closed seminar topic is

for Asian-American Cooperation."
The panel dsicussion on "Asian

But Senators John Sparkman

they do not believe Sen. Johnson
will permit this movement to be
expanded into a down-the-line bid
for top place on the ticket.
'Not His Purpose'

Johnson "has said it is not his
