I Yugoslavia Gains Northwestern Eyes Wolverine Soviet Support Russia Backs Tito Government For UN Security Council Seat UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (M)-The Soviet bloc switched its sdip- port yesterday to Yugoslavia for a seat on the UN Security Council, thus hoping to defeat the Philippines and deal the United States a damaging prestige blow. Faced with an East-West deadlock between Poland and the Phil- ippines after four ballots in the 60-nation UN General Assembly, the Soviet bloc dropped Poland for Yugoslavia. After two more ballots neither Yugoslavia nor the Philippines could garner the necessary two- thirds majority, and the Assembly voiced no objection to proposals by Britain and the Soviet Union to postpone additional voting until Tuesday. Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, who would occupy the Philippines' seat on the Council in event of victory, did not appear downcast. " Romula, a former Assembly presi- Upset 75,000 to See Top Team in Nation Bid for Second Conference Triumph By PHiL DOUGLIS Daily Sports Editor A wounded animal is always the most dangerous. Northwestern's winless Wildcats find themselves backed into the proverbial corner this afternoon, as they stagger into the Michigan Stadium to take on the top-ranked team in the land. Lou Saban, making his coaching debut in Ann Arbor, leads his thrice beaten team into this football-mad town in an ugly mood. Cats at Fever-Pitch He has fired them to a fever pitch. Already beaten by Miami of Ohio, Tulane, and Minnesota, the Cats have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Contrary to popular belief this team does have potential. That's why they are so dangerous. Some 12,000 high school bandsman will provide a backdrop of pageantry for the crowd which their presence has swelled to 75,000- the largest to see Northwestern - Ike Better; fGets Gifts, Cake on 65th President to Meet Humphrey Today DENVER (A)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower observed his sixty- fifth birthday yesterday. While not yet fully recovered from his recent illness his condi- tion continues to progress satis- factorily. Refreshed and cheerful after a good night's sleep, Presi- dent Eisenhower was greeted by a deluge of presents, numbering in the thousands. A birthday cake big enough to serve 2,000 other patients at Fitz- simons Army Hospital was deco- rated with an American flag and the inscription, "Happy Birthday, Ike." One sad note of the day was that Dr. Paul Dudley White, Bos- ton heart specialist treating the President, said that the latter might not be back in the White House until the first of the new year. Today's schedule for President Eisenhower includes a conference with Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey. Monday he will be visited by Defense Secre- tary Charle E. Wilson and Admiral Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. U.S. Anxious To Placate ISrael, Eg t WASHINGTON (JP)-Dplomatic sources reported yesterday the United States wants to stay friend- ly with both sides in the tense Middle East-despite two Arabian rebuffs and strong pressure from Israel. They said this determination springs from a belief that - the best way this country can meet Soviet grabs for influence in the area is to remain calm and move with deliberation. A blow to U.S. peace efforts in the Middle East came in a report yesterday that the Jordan River development plan is on the verge of collapse. The 121-million-dollar dam and irrigation project would have linked Israel with four Arab states -Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. Diplomatic officials fear that renewed Arab opposition has, virtually killed it. Thirteen Enterj Race for SGC Thirteen students have entered the race for the five positions, open on Student Government r'Al invi dent and one of the most colorful figures at the UN, said: Fight Not Over "The fight is not over. We are still fighting." The U.S. delegation's view was that it had won a victory over the Soviet bloc in keeping Poland off the Security Council, and that it was prepared to continue plugging in behalf of the Philippines as long as that nation wanted U.S. sup- port.F All balloting was secret and on the first vote Cuba was named to the Council seat being vacated by Brazil and Australia to the seat being vacated by New Zealand. With France absent and one na- tion abstaining, the vote was 53 for Cuba and 42 for Australia- both over the required two-thirds majority. Poland received 34 votes and the Philippines 33. Within One Vote On the third ballot, the Philip- pines came within one vote of win- ning the seat, getting 38 to 20 for Poland. After a fourth indecisive ballot, both U.S. Chief Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., and V. V. Kuz- netsov, head of the Spviet delega- tion, agreed to a 2 rminute re- cess. Delegates filed out into the lounge rooms, where vigorous lob- bying could be observed. On the fifth ballot the vote was 30 for the Philippines and 25 for Yugoslavia and on the final tally of the day the Philippines 29 and Yugoslavia 28. Switch to Yugoslavia The Soviet bloc switch to Yugo- slavia represented a complete about face from the situation in the Security Council race in 1949. At that time the Western Pow- ers, including the United States supported Yugoslavia and the So- viet bloc was bitterly opposed. The West won. Since then the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have patched up differences stemming from Yugo- slavia's break with the Commun- ist bloc in 1948. The balloting is for two-year non-permanent seats on the 11- member Security Council. The five permanent members are the Unit- ed States, the Soviet Union, Brit- ain, France and Nationalist Chi- na. The Yugoslav-Philippines con- test is for the seat being vacated by Turkey. orld News Roundup WASHINGTON ()-The Penta-1 gon said yesterday that agreements have beer# signed making possible the exchange of secret atomic in- formation among the United States, Britain and Canada. There was speculation that in- formation on nuclear engines for submarines and surface ships was involved in the pacts. A Pentagon spokesman said the second of two agreements-cover- ing the Atomic Energy Commis- sion's part in the information swap -was signed last month. An agreement relating to the Defense Department's part was completed ON NEW SHOULDERS RIDE HOPES OF FAME AND GLORY ... Northwestern end Jack Stillwell (left) and Michigan fullback Earl Johnson (right) will provide perhaps a few surprises for fans in the Michigan Stadium today. Stillwell is one of the conference's top ends, yet has not gained fame. Johnson, fourth string fullback, gets crack at almost full time duty due to Michigan's desperate fullback problem. lNegyro Priest Not Allowed Mass Rights NEW ORLEANS UP)-Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummell says pa- rishioners of the St. Cecilia Catho- lic Mission at Jesuit Bend have informed a Negro priest "in un- mistakable language" that he is not to celebrate holy mass in that mission chapel. As a result, the archbishop said, he has suspended services at the St. Cecilia Mission and reduced services at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church at Belle Chasse and at St. Joseph Mission at Myrtle Grove. All three churches are across the Mississippi River near New Orleans. In a letter to members of the church and missions, Archbish- op Rummell called the incident "clearly a violation of the obliga- tion of reverence and devotion which Catholics owe to every priest of God, regardless of race, color or nationality." Arrived Oct. 2 The letter said the Negro priest arrived at Jesuit Bend Oct. 2. "He was approached by several members of the congregation and informed politely but in unmis- takable language that he was not to celebrate holy mass in that mis- sion chapel. "The only reason alleged for the unwarranted interference with the discharge of his duty was the fact that he is a memler of the Negro race," the letter said. DOZEN STATES HIT: Gale Strikes At Eastern Seaboard 6 NEW YORK (P)-A wild sneak gale brutally pounded the Eastern seaboard yesterday, posing a flood threat along the hurricane lane from the Carolinas to Canada. At least three persons were dead or missing in the storm. Flood damage mounted as hea- vy rains deluged a dozen states. Flood Damage Mounts With three to five inches of rain forecast in the Berkshires and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire, the danger of flash floods mounted. Rainfall already topped the five-inch mark in some areas. A driving downpour dumped rain on New York City at a rate of 2inch an hour. Harbor craft listed before the blow. Tides Menace Coast High tides menaced coastal ar- eas. Waves up to 14 feet high lashed the shoreline as the sea stirred angrily under winds that hit 69 miles per hour in gusts - just six miles per hour short of hurricane force. The storm forced cancellation of an air search" for a U.S. Air Force jet fighter missing in the Atlantic Ocean off Long Island. Many planes were grounded and some airports closed. Hotel Burns Wind-whipped flames destroyed a big resort hotel in the heart of Lakewood, N.J. It had not yet opened for the winter. Bridges were swept away by the surly force of usually placid streams.. A Pennsylvania motorist was killed on the Merritt Parkway when his car skidded on the slick pavement and hit a tree near Greenwich, Conn. In Upstate New York, one man died in a highway accident in the rain. A second was feared drown- ed when a boat capsized in a swol- len creek. Highways were awash in many parts of the East and some were closed to traffic. A flash flood hit Danville, Pa., covered its main street, and forced the evacuation of some of its resi- dents by boat. In the path of the menacing storm lay New England and Penn- sylvania, where some communities still were rebuilding after last August's death-dealing hurricane floods. The flood potential of the new storm was emphasized by inun- dated homes in New York, Con- necticut and the District of Co- lumbia. Residents were evacuat- ed in some sectors by boats. The storm was born suddenly in the southeast Thursday after- noon in a collision of cold western air and warm southern moisture. There was little advance warning as it shrieked north at about 20 miles per hour. It was described by the Weath- er Bureau as an "extra tropical cyclone"-that is a nontropical. gale spawned differently than a hurricane but with some of its less severe characteristics. FAURE HAS THREE DAYS: French Deputies Return Home to Talk to Voters PARIS (MP)-With three days for reflection on whether to fire Premier Edgar Faure or continue him in office a little longer, most deputies of the French National Assembly returned to their homes yesterday to talk things over with the voters. To stave off certain defeat in a confused all-night Assembly session, Faure asked early yesterday for the vote of confidence in his ability to carry out Algerian reforms. The request immediately suspended the debate. The Assembly then decided to vote Tuesday. This was the first time in his term in office -- no a little less than eight months - that Paure had resorted to the confidence Qissue to swing hesitant supporters play in Ann Arbor since 1948. Saban, who worked his white- clad Wildcats through a brief drill in the Stadium yesterday after- noon, actually is looking for an upset win. He is confident his charges can push across at least one or two tallies-and from there on is relying on his defense to take over. M' Primed, Too But Ben Oosterbaan, the "sient man of the Big Ten," and at pres- ent the boss of the conference title favorites, has also primed his squad. The Wolverines staged final drills on Ferry Field last night in their Maize and Blue game uni- forms-and exhibited s p i r i t s which ran considerably higher than those just across the way in the Stadium. But spirit on the practice field and on the field of play are two different things. The 75,000 who will sit in on the game will see soon enough for themselves, be- ginning at 1:30 this afternoon. Michigan Solid Favorite Michigan is a solid pre-game favorite-some estimates going up to three touchdowns. This is far from an accurate prediction-for the slick running Michigan mach- ine has quite a few cogs missing this week. It is a well-kno'wn fact here- abouts that Ron Kramer, the man who does everything but sell pro- grams, is out of the contest with a severely injured chest. The ex- act nature of his injury is garbled in confusion, but it is definite that he will be watching today's game from a bench-minus uni- form. Northwestern seems to be count- ing heavily on his departure to contribute to a Purple wi. They are also relying on a David and Goliath psychology-the "bigger they are, the harder they fall" type of thing. All of this is pure conjecture and publicity, for games are won and lost with of- fense and defense, blocking and tackling. Fullback Problems But more than Kramer will be missing from the Michigan lineup. The fullback slot has been virtu- ally drained of manpower. First See 'KRAMER' Page 3 File Petition On Tha"yer Street Issue A petition bearing 83 signatures was filed at the city clerk's office yesterday in opposition of the closing of the 100 block S. Thayer St. district. William H. Mackie, local hotel manager, filed the petition which stated, "We, the undersigned, are opposed to the closing of Thayer St. between Washington and Hur- on Sts." The majority of the names on the petition were represented by business firms on S. Thayer and N. University Ave. and S. State, E. Williams and E. Liberty Sts.

The high point of Michigan's annual "Band Day" will feature 11,500 members of more than 180 state high school bands, conducted by Prof. William D. Revelli, direc- tor of the Michigan Marching Band. The bands are expected to take the field within three minutes and play for 16. Their selection will include "Youth of America," "Mister Touchdown USA," "Loco- motive," "You're a Grand Old Flag." "Melody of Love," "The Baton Twirler" and "The Stars and Stripes Forever." Band in Pre-Game Show The Michigan Marching Band will take over the pre-game show, featuring, besides "The Victors," "The Star Spangled Banner" and "The Yellow and Blue," a salute to President Dwight D. Esen. hower. With the playing of "My Hero," the band will march into a large heart with a Block I superimposed upon it, symbolizing the place the President has won in the hearts of the American people. Next, playing "This is the Army, Mr. Jones" and "There's Some- thing About a Soldier," the band will form a marching soldier. Ike's Hobbies Portrayed To the strains of "Three Little Fishes," the band will portray one of the President's hobbies, com- plete with fishpole and leaping trout. The band will then do a drill routine to "U.S. Field Artillery" and "The Yellow Rose of 'T'exas." The last formation will be an airplane dropping a bomb on a house, which will explode into the capitol with a 40 by 80 feet Amer- ican Flag. 1200 Mile Trip For some of the high school bands, Band Day involves a three day trip covering 1200 miles. Each. band must finance its own ap- pearance through projects like tag days, variety shows and sales of homemade jams and jellies. The first Michigan Ban Day was held in 1929 when 1,850 mem- bers of 29 bands participated. Last year's spectacle included 7,250 members of 110 bands. All the bands have been pro- vided with detailed information sheets, seating charts and maps of Ann Arbor. Massed, they are expected to cover the playing field and extend well into the end zones. Taped Decays Warrant Fine Certain carefree student driv- ers have been issued a "one last warning" on improper display of car permit decals. FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYST SAYS: Russians Don't Desire War in Israel By PETE ECKSTEIN Communist offers of arms to Egypt are "hell raising more than anything else," Russell Barnes, foreign affairs analyst of the De- troit News said last night. Interviewed at the Hillel Foun- dation,. where he spoke, Barnes guessed that the Russians "don't intend to make war. They just want to make trouble. "It's part of a general program of destroying Western control in the Middle East," which he de- scribed as "the most strategic theater in the world today." Will Deliver Arms Barnes said the Communists "will probably go through with the arms deliveries. They're un- loading a large stock of surplus and obsolete arms stocks that are of no military value to them but I cn be of consiernaepoiticali start anything. If Russia now in- tervenes by delivering jet aircraft, tanks, and artillery to Egypt, the Western balance is upset." Israel has indicated it will re- quest arms from the West, he Laid, and "the practical effect of it all is to boost the arms race in the Middle East." May Attack Egypt "The great risk of war now," the news analyst added, "is if Is- rael figures that Russian arms will too greatly beef up the Egypt- ian army. They may attack Egypt to prevent the buildup. "Personally, I don't think Is- rael will." Barnes said that "activitists" in Israel may think "the best way to stop infiltration is to carry the war to the Arabs. Premier-desig- nate David Ben Gurion is gener- oliv eonsiderlo +r he a,n etist into line. Reasons Against Overthrow Faure's supporters can cite sev- eral reasons against overthrow of the government now: 1. The vote is on France's policy toward Algeria, a North African area considered by Frenchmen an integral part of France. When the' United Nations Assembly decided to debate the troubles in Algeria, where Moslem terrorists have been active, the French delegation walk- ed out. A vote now against the government for its Algerian policy might imply repudiation of the walkout. 2. A vote will be held in the Saar ct. 23 on proposed European status for the rich coal and steel area which long has been a sore point between Germany and France. The Saar now is tightly bound economically and politically to France, but sentiment has been growing in favor of closer ties with Germany.
