LXVI, No. 157 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1956 SIX PAGES Pentagon Drops New Jet Project Works On 'Mystery Aircraft With Greater Potentialities' WASHINGTON (IP)-The Pentagon said yesterday it has canceled contracts for a new supersonic fighter plane but is working on a mystery aircraft with "even greater potentialities." The canceled project had contemplated development of the world's fastest long-range interceptor. News that it had been abandoned was only a few hours old when Dr. Clifford C. Furnas, assistant secretary of defense for research and development, told a Senate committee about the fresh under- takings. Greater Possibilities Beyond saying that the new warplane has even greater possibilities --"than the shelved interceptor, Fur- 'Block M' Discussed By Council Student Government Council last night expressed its opposition to a proposed move of Block M' to the end zone of the football stad- Sum. The Board in Control of Inter- collegiate Athletics has tentative- ly approved the move from the card-and-cheering section's pres- ent location along the 30 and 40 yard lines, an effort to provide more space for upperclass stu- dents, faculty, alumni and 6M' Club members. Several Council members indi- cated they favored shifting the block one or more sections further away from the 50-yard-line. SGC President Bill Adams, '7BAd, and member Lew Engman, '57, were authorized to investigate the mat- ter and represent Council opinion to the Athletics Board, agreeing formally only in their opposition to the end-zone move. Earlier, Wolverine Club Presi- dent Mike Jacobson, '58, told the Council the end-zone move would be an "unjust- act," causing the block to "almost be destroyed." He maintained it would deprive ? prospective block members of the incentive of better seats than most students normally are alloted. The Council approved the nomi- nations to Joint Judiciary of Cathy King, '56, Cherry Harris, 58N, Robin Oliver, '57E, Fred Lyons, '57Ph, and Dick Isheda, '57BAd Nelson Sherburne, '58, was named SGC Administrative Wing personnel director and Scott Chrysler, '59E, orientation direc- tor. Council members Rod Comstock, '57, Tom Sawyer, '58, and Jim Dy- gert, '56BAd, were named to the Office of Student Affairs driving ban rules committee. Harlan Givelber, '57, and Geor- gia Strain, '57, were named as student representatives on the University calendaring committee. Carol Dumond, '57, was named as a third student representative on the University housing com- mittee Farmers Pic Eisenhower In Omaha Vote OMAHA (P)-If farmers in drought-disturbed Nebraska are rebelling against administration agricultural policies, they failed to give the signal in Tuesday's primary election. A vote tallying cleanup yester- day established President Dwight D. Eisenhower firmly as a near two 0o one winner over Senator Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) in presi- dential preference balloting. Strictly speaking, Eisenhower and Senator Kefauver were not running against each other. Each was unopposed on his own party's ballot, The President, in outdrawing Sen. Kefauver in a style befitting this predominantly Republican state, also picked up 17 of the state's 18 full-vote GOP conven- tion delegates. Sen. Kefauver could claim only 5 of the 12 Democratic delegates named, with the remain- ing seven still undeclared. Presidential preference results are not binding on the delegates, who run unpledged. Most candi- nas gave no details. He told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee the interceptor con- tracts were canceled for a num- ber of reasons, one of which was a determination that the plane would be heavier than had been anticipated. Another reason, he said, was lack of money for the $5,300,000,000 research program. The only reason given by an Air Force spokesman in an earlier announcement of the cancellation was lack of funds for research and development. Northrop Aircraft, Hawthorne, Calif., and North American Avia- tion, Los Angeles, had held the contracts. Contractor Withdraws A third contractor, Lockheed Aircraft Corp., Burbank, Calif., voluntarily withdrew from the project last March because its work on other Air Force programs required the full services of its engineers, The Air Force declined to make public figures on the value of the contracts or the cost of the can- cellations. There was no immedi- ate comment from the companies involved. Furnas wasn't questioned about details of the canceled contracts. The interceptor was to have been called upon to outfly the McDonnell 06;01, the Convair F- 102 and Lockheed F104. All these fighters, capable of exceeding the speed of sound, are in production but not yet in operational use, FIJI Nabs FIBrinlak's Men BOSTON ()-Fast-moving FBI agents, in a two-minute operation, forced their way into a Dorches- ter district apartment yesterday and arrested two missing Brink's robbers-the last of 11 men alleg- edly involved in the fabulous $1,- 218,211 robbery. The FBI said that James Igna-' tius Faherty, and Thomas Francis Richardson, both considered dang- erous, were taken without a strug- gle. Three loaded guns were found in the apartment, but the FBI moved so speedily, the gunmen were unable to reach the weapons before they were seized. The FBI said some coin was found in the apartment but would not say how much or whether it was Brink's money. 111LrS D.ALE~, Mich., (R)-The low groans of a ghost named Golly are making spines tingle in the Hillsdale County Court- house. County Clerk William M. Glasgow said he and his staff have heard the ghostly moans acoming "at different times and places" in his office in the 50- year-old building.' That's how the mysterious groaner got his name. He'd moan eerily, and a startled of- fice workerwould exclaim, "Golly, the ghost." The board of supervisors thinks the tornadic winds of the last few weeks may be to blame. Golly will go, says the board, if we ever get some calm spring weather. Committee Okay,~s Farm Money Bill WASHINGTON (IP)-A Senate Appropriations subcommittee ap- proved yesterday a record-break- ing farm money bill which would provide more than two billion dollars for the Agriculture Depart- ment and its agencies in fiscal 1957.. Approval was voted at an execu- tive session. Chairman Richard Russell (D-Ga.) told rporters af- terwards the subcommittee ac- cepted most of the increases voted by the House Monday and added some of its own. Among the Senate boosts was a 25-million-dollar increase in agri- cultural conservation payments to farmers this year. This was a forerunner to the much larger soil bank payments which may begin next year and which may- run to as much as $1,200,000,000 annually. The Senate did not reach the bill yesterday but is scheduled to take it up today, , A bill setting up the soil bank program and containing other new farm legislation was waiting yes- terday to be called up, on the Senate floor. Sen. George Aiken (R-Vt.) and Sen. S. L. Holland (D-Fla.) said they would make a last-ditch ef- fort to reshape the bill to meet President Dwight D. Eisenhower's specifications. They will concentrate on elimi- nating or modifying a section pro- viding for mandatory higher price supports for feed grains and corn grown outside the commercial corn belt. U.S. Sending Saudi Arabia More Arms WASHINGTON (A)-The De- fense Department confirmed yes- terday it is sending Saudi Arabia another shipment of military goods. It added that sale of the equip- ment, mainly ammunition and spare parts, was arranged months ago. While the Pentagon wouldn't disclose the value of the shipment, the State Department said less than a million dollars was in- volved, A Pentagon spokesman told of the shipment when asked about a New York Post story that military cargo for Saudi Arabia was being loaded abo'a^r d the 6,714-ton freighter Monterey at a North Carolina port. Officials said the sale to the Arab country was originally ap- proved last Aug. 25, along with a controversial order for 18 M41 Walker Bulldog light tanks. Ship- ment of the tanks last February raised an international furor, As was the case with the tank order, this latest shipment was paid for on Nov. 26, officials said. A State Department press offi- cer, Lincoln White, said the items being loaded at Sunny Point, N.C., do not include any major weapons such as tanks or jet planes, White said the cargo was cover- ed in a State Department announ- cement last February that 16 million dollars worth of arms, orders from the Middle East had been approved. These included about seven million dollars worth from Saudi Arabia. Relief Group Considered DETROIT (M--Wayne county authorities today called for- for- mation of a central disaster au- thority to prevent recurrence of confusion that followed tornadoes in suburban Allen Park and Lin- coln Park Saturday, County auditors and civil de- fense and police officials, meeting in special session, were told that a lack of coordination and central direction was the major cause for the confusion. ,Agencies responsible for relief efforts related that vital equip- ment was halted at emergency road blocks and that 42 separate agencies operated during the emergency without coordination. Faces -1 Red China Recognized ByEgyptians CAIRO (P) - Egypt yesterday became the first Arab country to recognize Communist China. The decision was announced af- ter a Cabinet meeting. There have been several trade and cultural agreements between Cairo and Peiping, but until now all the Arab states had recognized the regime of Chiang Kaishek, with headquarters on Formosa, as the government of China. All countries in the Soviet sphere of influence recognize Pei- ping. Other nations doing so are Yugoslavia, India, Burma, Paki- stan, Britain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Israel, Afghanistan, Netherlands, Indonesia, Ceylon, Finland, Nepal and Switzerland. The government of Premier Ga- mal Abdel Nasser has taken the so-called neutralist course in the cold war. That means recognition of both East and West and trade with both sides. Egypt last year obtained arms from Red Czechoslovakia through Soviet Black Sea ports for its buildup against Israel. At the same time, Egypt is dickering With the West for projects such as the proposed Aswan Dam on the Nile. The recognition decision cli- maxed more than a year of moves towards closer relations by the two nations Ia Osta fin May Get New Job A report that the name of Peter A. Ostafin will be submitted to the Board of Regents next week for appointment to a new position in student housing was confirmed yesterday by Dean of Men Walter B. Rea. Ostafin, who is now Resident Director of South Quadrangle and in charge of Men's Residence Halls, would assist Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis on student housing in the Ann Ar- bor area. John W. Hale, Resident Dir- ector of West Quadrangle will be- come Senior Resident Director of Men's Residence Halls replacing Ostafin. Dean Rea said that Mark Noff- singer would replace Ostafin as Resident Director of South Quad- rangle. The submission of George Lang- eler's name for the position of, Resident Director of Fast Quad- rangle was also confirmed. He will replace Philip R. Lucasse who is leaving to become Dean of Men at Calvin College in Grand Rapids. --Daly-Peter Song BUS PROTEST GIFT-Clarence Taylor, '58L; president of the local chapter of the NCAAP, presents title to a 1949 Studebaker to E.

KESSEL SPEAKS: Gargoyle Editor Gves Views of Publicationl Editors of college humor magazines are often subject to scorn and derision, according to David Kessel, Grad., editor of Gargoyle. Strangely enough, Kessel commented, much of the criticism centers around material printed in the magazine. Taste is the main consideration. "One often draws a narrow line between that which is objection- able and that which is suitable," Kessel commented, obviously re- ferring to material in the last 'issue. "This year Gargoyle suffered from lack of a diversified view- point," Kessel said. "The editorial staff was largely non-functioning and members were seldom avail- able for advice and assistance." n diio)rs "If the people who sit around and complain about Gargoyle would come to the organizational meetings and offer some construc- tive criticism," he claimed, "the Garg would be better able to meet requirements of students." a#Asked to explain the nude sket- Nixon commented that the 1 Do-It- Yourself Ship DesIt ST, -PETERSBURG, Fla. (P)- Rogert T. Brown struck a blow yesterday for the do-it-yourself set. A 26-foot cabin cruiser was launched from his living room where it was built with half an inch to spare, For six weeks while the boat was being built the neighbors wagered it "won't make it" through the 9-foot, 5112-inch gap in the wall set aside for a picture window. Brown, a building contractor, figured that while workmen were building his house he could build a cruiser inside. With the neighbors as an audi- ence, the .new craft nosed majes- tically past the fireplace, through the window opening and down a ramp to water 60 feet away Generatio 3 i i Negroes' "courage to stay off the 4busses in the wintertime makes me look forward to our staying off while it's warm. "We still have two mass meet- ings a week," Nixon added, and churches are filled during the meetings just as they were when the "bus strike" began Dec. 5. Boycott Will Continue The boycott of the privately- owned, city chartered bus comp- any will continue "until we get justice," Lee predicted. "Nobody can guess what tomorrow will bring in this war of nerves." The Association has been de- manding that Negroes be allowed to sit in the white sections of seg- regated busses when there are no empty seats in the Negro sections and that "mistreatment by drivers" be ended. Since the group's demands have been rejected by the city for months, last week four suits were filed in federal district court in an attempt to test the Constitu- tionality of the state and city laws. Until that time, Lee said, the group was willing to work for "reason- able accomodation within the framework of present law." "The city," Nixon maintained, "could have met the demands of the Association without changing one law. "However much we believe in complete integration," Lee added, "we realize we're in a situation that can't be improved overnight." Few Reprisals Lee noted "very few reprisals against those who participated in the protest." While there have been "some job dismissals, they have not been wholesale." He suggested that "the majority of white people in Montgomery are still friendly to Negroes and have a kindly attitude. If they didn't, something would have happened."j As for the Association's attitude, it is a "passive resistance move- ment," Lee asserted. "We strictly advocate no violence and no hatred for those who oppose us, but we are determined to carry on until justice comes. "There's a limit to human en- durance, and the ills that have Wisconsin GOP Leader Denies Guild Calls Accusations 'Absolutely False' MADISON, Wis. (P)-State As- sembly Speaker Mark Catlin Jr., a Republican candidate for the United States Senate nomination, yesterday was accused of accept- ing at least $5,725 from prison in- mates to use his political influence to win their release. Shortly after the charges were made public by the Wisconsin Su- preme Court, Catlin's father, a former state assemblyman and Olympic athlete, collapsed and died of a heart attack at Apple- ton. Catlin said his father "couldn't possibly have known about the charges" before he died Catlin, 46-year-old speaker of the State Assembly in 1955 and an attorney, termed the accusations by the Wisconsin State Board of Bar Commissioners "absolutely false." Wants Referee Apponted In a formal statement he urged the Supreme Court to appoint a referee "to dispose expeditiously. of these charges so that I, other legislators similarly situated, and the entire bar may be protected against character assassinations of this nature." Catlin is a candidate for the GOP nomination for the Senate seat now held by Senator Alex- ander Wiley (R-Wis) who is cir- culating nomination papers al- though he hasn't formally an- nounced his intentions. Catlin learned of his father's death at about the same time the state's highest tribunal released the complaint against him. The elder Catlin, 74, collapsed in Appleton, about 120 miles northeast of Madison, while on his way to the law office he shared with his son. He was dead on ar- rival at an Appleton hospital. Files Four Charges The board filed four charges against the younger Catlin-still technically speaker of lihe lower house even though it is in adjourn- ment-alleging that he accepted $5,725 from four inmates at Wau- pun State Prison and unspecified sums from five other prisoners or their families to use his influence to gain their freedom. The board said that none of the prisoners was released due to Cat- lin's alleged efforts in their be- half. The four inmates named in the complaint were Louis Fazio, and John and Jerome Mandella, each sentenced in 1946 from Kenosha to life for murder; and Americo de Pietto, sentenced in 1954 from Kenosha to from 1 to 10 years for assault with intent to rob. Senate Group Kills Increase In Federal Aid WASHINGTON ()-The Senate Finance Committee voted 8-4 yes- terday against a proposal to in- crease assistance grants to the aged needy by raising federal grants to the states. The proposal, in the form of an amendment to Social Security leg- islation, was offered. by Senator Russell (D-La). He told reporters he is sure the Senate will eventual- ly adopt it, since it has 46 cospon- sors among the 96 senators. The aged needy now get vary- ing amounts each month, depend- ing on how much the state in which they live chips in toward the total. At present, the federal govern- ment puts up $20 of the first $25 ches, Kessel repeated what he had told a Daily reviewer- "He's a new cartoonist, and hasn't gotten to the lesson on clothes yet," Kessel clamied that despite the scorn and derision Gargoyle is rated as one of the top three col- lege humor magazines in the country. He refused to name the other two or tell who rated them. "Clas- sified, sorry," was all he'd say, Bus Protest Panel E. D. Nixon and C. W.

A record-breaking farm money bill carrying more than two billion dollars of spending authority was approved yesterday by a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. Chairman R. B. Russell (D-Ga.) told a reporter after a closed- door session that most of the increases voted by the House Monday had been accepted and that the Senate group had added some of its own. These included a 25-million-dollar boost in the agricultural conservation payments to farmers this year under the existing farm programs, OTTAWA The Defense Ministry yesterday blamed a false alarm for sending up the jet plane that crashed into a nun's rest home and killed 15 persons. Ralph Campney, minister of defense, said the plane was one of two CF100 jets ordered to take off Tuesday night to intercept a plane spotted by radar but not immediately identified. Before the interception was carried through, the "enemy" plane was identified through flight plans as an air force transport returning from the Arctic. * ,, * WASHINGTON - Indonesia's President Soekarno received a rousing official welcome to Washington yesterday and he promptly +' +i 'ti __ .. .z . t ........ .
