OFFICIALS COMMENT:

Although the University will get a "substantial" capital outlay
appropriation for 1956-57 it will not get all that it has requested,
several members of the State Legislature indicated yesterday.
Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Arnell Eng-
strom termed the $11,00000 five year capital outlay program "a
good plan but ambitious."
"There's no doubt that the need is there but the big question
is money," Engstrom commented.
Rate Priority Projects
Sen. Don Vander Werp of the Senate Capital Outlay
Subcommittee said the University has been asked to rate
its projects in order of priority.

Israel Raises
Strong Protest
WASHINGTON (AP)-The United
States is shipping 18 light recon-
naisance tanks to Saudi Arabia in
a transaction denounced by Israel
as "utterly beyond our compre-
hension."
A State Department spokesman
said the 25-ton tanks-M41 Walk-
er Bulldogs-are being delivered
under a mutual defense agreement
made with Saudi Arabia June 18,
1951. He added the Arabs asked
for the tanks last spring.
For Training Purposes
"The United States approved the
sale of the tanks early in the fall,"
Lincoln White, State Department
press officer said, "They are in-
tended 'for training purposes and
will be used in connection with the
U.S. training mission now in Saudi
Arabia."
U.S. officials said the tanks
could be used only in training, but
news of the shipment brought a
hot blast from the Israeli Embas-
sy here.
"How the dispatching of tanks
to Saudi Arabia can help reduce
tensions in the Middle East is ut-
terly beyond our comprehension,"
an embassy spokesman declared.
"This is a country whose avowed
policy embraces the destruction of
Israel even if it takes 10 million

President Tom Bleha, '56, high-
lighted yesterday's Inte-House
Council meeting with a 4-minute
"State of the Union" address.
Bleha looked at the r1HC objec-
tively and "straight from the
shoulder," and stated the main de-
fect of the council as being a "lack
of clarity as to the purpose of the
organization."
Suggests Self-Discipline
In addition to calling for a cen-
tral purpose to relate all IHC pro-
jects and activities, Bleha spoke
of the IHC's part in training cit-
izens and suggested a goal of self-
discipline as a part of this train-
ing in the residence halls.
He also asked for further im-
provement in house judiciaries
and an analysis of the Michigan
House Plan.
"The plan," Bleha said, " is in
desperate need of revision. Many
of the things proposed. . have
fallen by the wayside."
New Scholarship Program
IHC last night passed a revised
and rewritten scholarship pro-
gram. The council will now make
an annual award of $5 to the
quadrangle house with the high-
Revise
est academic average for the
school year.
Within a one-month period, the
house must then re-award the sum
to one of its residents. The win-
ning house is free to use any basis
in choosing the recipient of the
award.
IHC, like the Residence Halls
Board of Governors, has decided
that increased business and larger
agendas has necessitated weekly
instead of bi- or tri-weekly meet-
ings.
Resignations of two officers was
also announced last night. Ralph
McCormick, '57, Executive vice-
president, and Don MacLennan,
'58, corresponding secretary,--have
discontinued their work on the
council.

MERE PSYCHOGENETIC SYMPTOMS:
Einstein All Bunk Ballenger Claims
By ERNEST THEODOSSIN
"Einstein's theory of relativity
is merely the result of psycho-
genetic symptoms," William Lee
Ballenger told us yesterday.
Ballenger marched into our of-
fices with a pile of newspaper pro-
files of himself and announced we
ought to interview him. We quick-
ly took him over to an unoccupied
corner where he promptly spread
out his clippings and began ex-.
plaining his "Theory of Magnetic
Equilibrium."
Negative vs. Positive
The theory, a thorough contra-
diction of Einstein's relativity
theory, explains planetary move-
ments by magnetic poles. Accord-
Ballenger, who quit school in
the middle of the third grade and
studied alone in libraries, explained
that his teory is much simpler
than any so-far suggested.
"The progress of science," he
said, indicating we were to take
this down, "is a theoretical pro-
cess of reductions of natural truths
to the layman's simplicity."
Aims to Save
Ballenger's aim is to save
the government money on pro-
posed planetary satellites which
he claims "just won't work."
A lean man with an ever-pres-
ent cigar, a sailor's cap and the
appearance of a Bret Harte West-
ern hero, Ballenger is in town
this week to pursue still another
by. In the winter he takes special
jobs, often at universities where
he can present his solar system
theories to professors.
Ballenger actually received such
a bad reception at Michigan State
University, that he isn't even both-
ering with local scientists.
Ballenger, born in South Caro-'
lina in 1910, hastened to warn
us that art and science are not
his only preoccupations. During
the Second World War he was a
free-lance newspaperman in Wash-
ington and sold his stories to
"home town papers."
He also writes and has complet-
ed a novellette, "Stranded Over
Jordan," which he has since turned
