LXVI, No. 149 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1956 SIX PAGES President Urges More Foreign Aid Asks $4,900,000,000 Insurance Against Russian World Buildup 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. Soviet Emphasis on Economic Measures "Although today Soviet tactics are placing greater economic overtures to the less developed nations, there is emphasis on no indication 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.

"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 in Primary 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. .Will 'U,'' l.elations 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. EdA cation-by-Television' Be Used Here Head TopAsians ToLaunch Discussionts Outstanding A m e r i c a n s and Asians will participate in an Asian- American Seminar and two public panel discussions beginning today through Friday. Held under the auspices of the United States' National Commis- sion for the United Nations Edu-I cational, Scientific and Cultural{ Organization, the seminar and public meetings offer observers and participants the opportunity to better understand Asian and American attitudes, values and customs. The Asian participants have al- ready spent a week each in San Francisco at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The closed seminar topic is "Human Values in Social Change in South and Southeast Asia and in the United States: implications for Asian-American Cooperation." The panel dsicussion on "Asian and American Views on Capital- ism, Civil Rights and Human Values," will be open to the public and will be held at 8:00 p.m. Fri- day in the Rackham Lecture Hall. Johnson will be in a position as Texas' favorite son to pick up votes from Southern delegations which have little liking for any of the present front-rank contenders .or the nomination. But Senators John Sparkman (D-Ala.) and Mike Mansfield (D- Mont.) said in separate interviews 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' Senator John J. Sparkman (D- Ala.), the 1952 Democratic vice presidential candidate, said Sen. Johnson "has said it is not his purpose to become a candidate and I believe him." Dulles Sees. NATO Trust WASHINGTON ) Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said yesterday that confidence was widespread during the Paris meet- ing of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Just back from the meeting, Dulles told welcomers at the air- port: "There was general confidence that the Atlantic community will meet the demands for its own po- litical evolution, and thus meet the challenge of our times." -Daily-Pet GARGOYLE SELLS-Gargoyle went on sale yesterdayi brightly-colored booth on the Diag.
