'U' Campus Today,
President of Indonesia To Receive
Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree
By ALLAN STILLWAGON
Dr. Sukarno, president of Indonesia-the world's sixth most
populous nation, will arrive at the University at 12:45 p.m. today.
The president, accompanied by a large group of Indonesian
government personnel, newsmen, and the Chief of Protocol of the
United States Department of State, will be greeted by University
President Harlan Hatcher and other officials.
He will attend a reception for Indonesian students at the Inter-
national Center and be honored by a luncheon at the Union.
Sukarno To Attend Convocation
Following the luncheon, Sukarno's party and invited guests are

Fcommittee
DlocKs Arms
For Europe
'WASHINGTON (P)-The House
Foreign Affairs Committee said
yesterday large amounts of United
States arms shipments slated for
Europe should be sent elsewhere
until it is "clearer" what defense
policy Europe intends to follow.
The committee rapped what it.
called a defense letdown by some
'"prosperous" Western European
nations, and it said the United
States "cannot hope to overcome
Y lack of zeal on the part of any
nation by supplying it with equip-
ment."
The House group set forth its
views in a report to accompany,
the foreign aid bill, from which it
k~ cut more than a billion dollars out
of the $4,900,000;000 total request-
ed by President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower.
Country Not Named
No specific European country
was mentioned in the report.
Chairman J. P. Richards (D-S.C.)
had previously named Britain,
France and West Germany as
slackening in their defense ef-
forts.
The committee said "a substan-
' tial amount" of some 3% billion
dollars of arms-earmarked for
Europe under past aid programs
but still undelivered-is suitable
for delivery to non-European cold
war front nations such as Korea,
Formosa, Thailand, Pakistan, and
Turkey.
Report Summed Up
The committee report also:
1. Called on the President to
"carefully consider" putting over-
seas arms aid within the regular
defense budget ne'xt year, instead
of in the foreign aid bill..
It noted the administration has
stressed that the military assist-
ance program is part of America's
own defense effort.
2. Disclosed the committee vot-
ed down a proposal to bar United
States aid in any country placing
American service men abroad un-
der its own system of courts and
law enforcement.
Bow Leads Move
This move to force revision of
S"status of forces" treaties the
United States has with many
countries was led by Representa-
tive F. T. Bow (R.-Ohio).
The committee said that an at-
tempt to force revision of the
treaties might cause other nations
to withdraw their consent for use
of strategic bases.
Hall Receives
Essay Contest
Prize of $50
Peter Tyler Hall, Grad., was an-
nounced yesterday as the winner
of the Academic Freedom Week
essay contest.
Hall will receive a check for $50
from Student Government Coun-
cil, sponsor of the contest. His
prize winning essay is reprinted
on the editorial page of today's

scheduled to-attend a special con-
vocation in the Clements Library
where he will receive an honorary
Doctor of Civil Laws degree.
The Indonesian leader, who has
been described as the most pas-
sionate nationalist in Southeast
Asia, will address the convocation
and then, weather permitting, tour
the central -campus.
The party will then drive to the
Phoenix Memorial' Laboratory on
North Campus to witness a dem-
onstration, being shown for the
first time, incorporating one of
the 12 uranium fuel elements to
be used in later peacetime atomic
research in the Phoenix Projects
Nuclear Reactor.
Leader Heads Nation
The leader of a nation of over
80 million people, Dr. Sukarno has
guided his country through all of
its first 11 years.
On August 17, 1945, after some
340 years of Dutch rule and four
years of Japanese occupation, he
declared the archipelago of Indo-
nesia to be a free and indepen-
dent state.
A few months after tthe actual
transfer of sovereignty, which oc-
curred four and a half years later,
December; 27, 1949, Indonesia be-
came the sixtieth member of the
United Nations.
Arrangements for Sukarno's
visit to the University are being
arranged by Herbert G. Watkins,
Secretary of the University.

LeMay Says1
Reds Ahead
In Bombers
Predicts RussiaCan
Beat U.S. by 1959
WASHINGTON (;') - General
Curtis LeMay estimates that by
1959 Russia will have enough long-
range bombers and nuclear weap-
ons to destroy the United States-
if Soviet airmen should get every
conceivable break in a surprise
attack.
This reluctant "guess" by the
commander of the Strategic Air
Command was made public yester-
day by the special Senate sub-
committee investigating relative
United States-Soviet airpower.
Estimate Made
The estimate was made against
the background of a situation in
which all the armed forces are
bidding for funds, and competing
with each other for what they
consider their rightful place in
the defense picture.
It was *included in nearly 200
pages of closed-door testimony,
from which 111 deletions were
made by Defense Department cen-
sors prior to release.
Gen. LeMay's opinion, based on
jet bomber programs of this coun-
try and intelligence estimates of
the Soviet, was produced in a
series of questions by Senator
Stuart A. Symington (D-Mo.),
chairman of the air power inquiry.
Russia Ahead
The general said that if data
supplied by the Central Intelli-
gence Agency are correct, the Rus-
sians will have nearly twice as
many long-range jet bombers as
this country by 1960 "so the ad-
vantage will be with the Russians."
Gen. LeMay said he could not
guess what the Kremlin leaders
will do then but added:
"From 1958, he is stronger in
long-range airpower than we are,
and it naturally follows that if he
is stronger, he may feel that he
should attack."

Sweep Five
First Places
Indiana, NU Capture
Runner-Up Positions
Special To The Daily
MINNEAPOLIS - Michigan's
tennis team missed duplicating
last year's total score by half a
point as it captured its second
consecutive BigpTen crown here
yesterday.
Five individual championships
were won by the Wolverines, who
amassed a total of 61% points in
the match.
Davis Cup candidate Barry Mac-
Kay led the attack as he copped
the Conference singles champion-
ship.
Dick Potter playing number two,
Mark Jaffe at number three and
John Harris at number four also
picked up singles titles. The final
crown came when MacKay and
Potter successfully defended their
Big Ten doubles championship.
Lineup Shuffled
The tournament was much clos-
er than it was expected to be as
Indiana, who finished a mere
seven points behind the Wolver-
ines, reshuffled its lineup in- a
vain attempt to dethrone the
champions.
When the Hoosiers were at Ann
Arbor for a dual meet earlier in
the season, Michigan had no
trouble in defeating them 8-1.
However ,in the championships,
Indiana unstaggered its lineup so
that it had its best man at every
position.
The long day, which saw both
MacKay and Potter participating
in four matches, started at 9:30
a.m. when the semi-final singles
contests began,
MacKay Extended
MacKay took part in the wierd-
est match of the day at this time
when he met Mike Field of Indi-
ana. After winiling' the first set
easily, 6-1, MacKay jumped to a
quick 2-0 lead in the second.
Then Field, playing a slow, de-

stood at Michigan, 32/2, Iowa,
27%, and if Bob Rudesill had fin-
ished in the top three in this event,
the Wolverines would have been
virtually "in," needing only a third
in the mile relay to clinch it.
The lanky junior hurdled excel-
lently, and as the final hurdle
loomed, he was in the top three,
well ahead of the others.
Stumbles on Hurdles
Then, in his haste to clear the
last barrier, Rudesill caught his
toot on it and almost fell, prac-
tically walking over the finish line
fifth.
This meant that the Wolverines
had to finish ahead of Iowa in the
relay event, gaining two more
points than the Hawkeyes, in or-
der to win.
The heat had taken its toll on
the weary Ann Arborites, and
Coach Don Canham had to pick
the four relay men from a bunch
of tired, and in some cases poorly-
conditioned, athletes.
Flodin Runs Anchor
He finally decided on sophomore
Don Matheson, half -miler Rob
Varian, quarter-miler Laird Sloan
and 220 man Dick Flodin.
Matheson hurt his leg at the'
Ohio Relays a few weeks ago and
hadn't competed since. Varian had
just run the half-mile, and was
running with 25 minutes' rest.
Sloan and Flodin were both run-
ning with questionable leg muscles

Big Ten hockey teams may lose
their biggest and most productive
source of talent-Canada.
In a ruling passed by the Big
Ten faculty representatives at
their meeting in Minneapolis, yes-
terday, the Conference policy
makers implemented a National
Collegiate Athletic Association
resolution passed earlier this
month.
Any hockey player, the resolu-
tion says, signing an option agree-
ment with a professional team is
ineligible for Big Ten competition,
(Although Michigan is a member
of the WIHL, it must abide by
Conference rulings.)
The agreement does not affect
players who signed such agree-
ments prior to June 1 of this year.
Maxwell, Buchanan Reinstated
The action of the faculty rep-
resentatives put a damper on some
.good news for Michigan fans-
Wally Maxwell and Mike Buchan-
an have been;reinstated, effective
Feb. 1 of next year.
The Wolverine athletes, declared
ineligible last season for accepting
expense money to try out for a.
professional team, were put back
in good graces at yesterday's meet-
ing.
Their penalty is one year of in-
eligibility.
All teams in the WIHL will be
hurt by the NCAA rule, since the
NCAA has jurisdiction over most
American schools. The NCAA res-
olution says virtually the same
thing, as the Big Ten ruling with
one >exception-it gives a Sept. 1
deadline for signing options.
Clarifies Status
The . Conference's action also
serves to clarify the status of
hockey players within its jurisdic-
tion, according to Prof. Marcus L.
Plant, Michigan faculty represen-
tative.
Since most promising hockey
players of high school age in
Canada sign such option agree-
ments, it is probable that few
Canadian prospects would be elig-
ible for competition here.
Neither H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler,
University athletic director, nor
Vic Heyliger, hockey .coach, could
be reached for comment. They

Student cooperatives are facing
a threat more formidable than the
austerity of the Depression or the
Second World War.
The new threat is prosperity.
In talking 'with a member of the
cooperatives, one can detect his
uneasiness. There is the vague
fear that the co-op has become an
organization serving a function
that no longer is needed.
