$1,400,000 Deal

Three Months of Bargaining Ends;
Agreement Includes Wider Streets
By LEW HAMBURGER
Three months of haggling came to an end last night when the
city council approved the sale of Ann Arbor High School to the
University, and allowed the subsequent closing of Thayer St.
The action opens the way for the University to construct an
addition to the .high school, across Thayer St. and onto the adjacent
ground of the Rackham building. The new purchase will probably
house the romance language and social work departments ands an
office building.

TrRoyal Tyst
Continues;
Rumors Fly
LONDON () - Princess Mar-
garet and Peter Townsend, just
back from their weekend tryst in'
Windsor Forest, slipped away
again last night for a rendezvous
at the home of a friend.
Seven hours after saying good-
bye in the seclusion of Allanbay
Lodge ,the princess and her di-
vorced war hero met again for a
quiet dinner party in the apart-
ment of socialite Mark Bonham
Carter.
As leaders of the government,
church and royal family converged
on the capitol for a crisis week in
the reported romance, the 25-year-
old princess and Townsend, 40
years old, arrived separately at
Bonham Carter's apartment.
Once Escort
Their host was one of Mar-
garet's steady escorts around Lon-
don's gay spots before his recent
marriage and frequently was tip-
ped as a candidate for her hand.
A few minutes after midnight,
Margaret emerged alone and un-
smiling. She climbed into her car
and was driven away.
The priness and Townsend re-
turned earlier from the weekend
at the Windsor Woods of her
cousin, Mrs. John Lycett Wills.
Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth and
her two children, Prince Charles
and Princess Anne, left Balmoral
Castle in a sleet storm for London,
ending their Scottish vacation.
Eden, Queen to Confer
Prime Minister Eden got back
from his country cottage and went
straight into talks with his minis-
ters at 10 Downing St. Queen
Elizabeth is expected to confer
with Eden today after arriving
from Scotland.
And the Duke of Edinburgh,
who is reportedly opposed to any
Margaret-Townsend match, flew
home last night from Germany.
4-Day Week
Prophesied
WASHINGTON (P) - Walter
Reuther, CIO president, yesterday
predicted that new labor-saving
machines will make possible a 4-
day, 32-hour work week by 1965.
Reuther told a Senate-House
Economic subcommittee studying
growing use of push-button, elec-
tronic machinery that the new
technology will pose "a tremendous
challenge in the years that lie im-
mediately ahead."
The CIO chief said the machines
hold the promise of a better life
for all citizens in the fruits of
more efficient production can be
shared equitably. Otherwise, he
said, unemployment and "misery
and suffering" will result.
"If we fail to solve the prob-
lems that will probably crowd up-
on us," he said, "we may be forced
to undergo shattering economic
dislocations that could threaten
our whole economy and our free
society."
"We have mastered the know-

of Thayer St. would be alleviated
by widening of several surrounding
streets.
Mayor William E. Brown, Jr.
previously in favor of a wait-and-
study-the-traffic survey policy,
last night reversed his stand and
urged action on the proposal. He
opened the meeting by suggesting
the council give approval to the
proposal instead of waiting for a
report of a traffic survey, observ-
ing the campus area.
Feelings Differ
The meetingswas marked by
contrasting feelings of cooperation
between the mayor and Universityt
Vice-President Wilbur K. Pier-
pont, and antagonistic undertones
of some of the over-100 Ann Arbor
citizens who filled the council
room gallery.
Discussion on the proposal wast
for the most part centered around
the question of whether the widen-
ing of State, Washington, Huron,
and Fletcher Streets would solve
the problem created by the Thayer
St. closing.
Technicality Cited
The motion appeared headed for
defeat when a technicality con-
cerning the length of Washington
St. which would be widened cre-
ated a rift between the University
and city.
But at that point white-haired
Alderman C. J. Trummel stood up
in a far corner of the room, and
expressed gratification at the "co-
operation between two groups" He
added that the "genuineand. ob-
vious effort on the part of the
University and the city to solve
a problem, would bring fruitful
results."
Onesspeech followed, the vote
was taken and motion carried.
Fraternities
Set Record,
Pledge" 545
University fraternities set a new
record with 545 men pledged dur-
ing fall rushing which ended Sun-
day.
Although the pledge class top-
ped last year's group by 10 men,
fraternities are expected to pledge
400 more during open rushing.
The fall group was limited be-
cause houses were filled to near
capacity.

NEWS CONFERENCE:
Ike Agrees With Plans
For Defense Spending
DENVER (P)-Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson said yester-
day that President Dwight D. Eisenhower is in agreement on plans
for keeping defense spending and manpower levels about the same
or a little higher in the next fiscal year.
Sec. Wilson told a news conference at Denver White House that
present planning on the budget for the year starting next July 1 is
on the basis of retaining military manpower at the present level of
about 2,850,000. He added that his
present thinking is that military
expenditures for next year might
go "a little higher" than the 34%/
billion dollars expected for the
Ar h current year.

NEW YORK-"The United States plan for dividing the waters
of the River Jordan among Israel and three Arab states has been ac-
cepted by technicians of the four states ,as an equitable division,
Eric A. Johnson, special envoy for President Dwight D. Eisenhower to
the Middle East, said last night.
Just back from a two-months visit to the Middle East and speak-
ing to the second session of the 1955 New York Herald Tribune Forum
at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Johnson said, "It looks like the plan
will be accepted by the governments. We are on the verge of complet-
ing President Eisenhower's program."
The plan would eliminate many of the frictions between Israel

and the Arab states and make possible a better life

WASHINGTON - Robert F.
Kennedy says he and Supreme
Court Justice William 0. Douglas
were spied upon, lied to and on at
least one occasion, given "the run-

Iron Curtpin.

Johnson said. T
"The plan shows the people of
the Middle East that the United
States are friendly and want to
cooperate."
Minutes later, Vice-President
Richard Nixon closed the forum
with, "Chances for peace in the
world today are better than at any
other time since World War II."
At the Forum's first session Sun-
day night, Dag Hammarskjold,
Secretary-General of the United
Nations, opened remarks on the
peaceful usesof "atomic energy.
"We are just beginning to realize
the magniture of the promise and
problems of atomic power," he
said.
After Hammarskjold complained
that scientists were still far ahead
of politicians in handling atomic
energy, a panel of atomic experts
discussed the accomplishments of
the International Conference for
the Peaceful Uses of Atomic En-
ergy at Geneva.
The conference "re-established
the free exchange of knowledge
between scientists," according to
H. J. Bhabha, Secretary to the
government of India.

Nixon Sees
Peace Hope
NEW YORK (JP) - Vice Presi-
dent Richard Nixon expressed last
night the hope and the faith that
the "chances for peace today are
better than at any time since
World War II."
But he told the Communist
world that "the time for words
alone has passed" in efforts to
achieve it-"the time for deeds has
come."
He urged Soviet Russia to ac-
cept as "a formula for peace"
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
proposal to exchange military
blueprints and aerial inspection of
military installations. He said "no
greater step toward peace could
be taken at this time."
Vice-President Nixon voiced his
views in companion speeches pre-
pared, for the International Air
Transport Assn., and the New York
Herald Tribune Forum.

Six Northwestern states - the
population heartland of the na-
tion - lay grievously wounded by
wind, deluge and flood yesterday
for the second time in less than
two months.
Waters were receding through-
out the area for the first time
since last Friday. Weathermen said
the worst appeared over as rain-
fall finally tapered off and river
crests abated.
The toll of dead and missing
stood at 42.'
Damage ran into-many millions.
Weeks of rehabilitation faced vast
areas, some of them not yet re-
covered from the floods last August
of Hurricane Diane.
Trail of Debris
In the slime left by receding
waters was a sickening trail of
debris - crushed homes, stores
and factories, broken rail lines,
smashed highways, dead cattle,
snarled utilities, and pestilential
water sources.
New York City's big Crotdn
Reservoir was shut off as a result
of the storm. It supplies the city
with 150 million gallons a day.
However, other reservoirs easily
toop up the slack and the city did
not suffer.
The American Red Cross esti-
mated 6,900 families suffered de-
struction of or damage to their
homes in Connecticut, Massachu-
setts, Rhode Island, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
100 Persons Rescued
In Connecticut alone, Coast
Guard helicopters and surface
craft rescued 100 persons from
rooftops or tree branches. They
had been driven there by 'the
savage rise of rain-swollen rivers
and, creeks.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
from his sick bed in Denver,
pledged federal aid for the storm-
ravaged belt. News Secretary
James C. Hagerty kept him ad-
vised on federal 'disaster opera-
tions.
Val Peterson, director of Civil
Defense, flew east to inspeci
damage for a first hand report tc

When plans for the new dorm
were announced recently it was
assumed by many it would be built
for women. Strong sentiment was
voiced by some students, however,
favoring construction of a coed
dorm.
Tom Bleha, '56, Inter-House
Council president and a member
of the Board, has gone on record
as favoring a coed dorm.
Dean of Men Walter B. Rea has
also commented favorably on the
idea of coed dorms.
Several obstacles to making the
proposed dorm coed are its loca-
'tion (all sites under consideration
are in the observatory hill area),
and added cost of constructing a
coed dorm.

Completion date for the new men's swimming pool is now set
at March of next year, Director of Athletics Herbert 0. "Fritz"
Crisler disclosed yesterday.
The two month postponement in opening of the $800,000 pool
will necessitate use of the older Intramural Bldg. pool one more
year for varsity swimming.
"Because of possible delays, such as we are -experiencing right
now," Crisler said, "we made no bid for the 1956 NCAA conference
playoffs. We hope to christen the new building with the champion-
ship events the following year."
Structure Held Up
Construction on the modern "ungingerbready" structure, originally
scheduled to open in January, has been held up by last summer's two-
week construction strike, delivery of steel and "most of all, discouraging
weather."
The pool is located on Hoover Street between the recently
completed Athletic Administration Bldg., and the IM Bldg., and it

In fact, research here at the
University has had an important
role in discovering the facts about
the atmosphere that scientists
need to design a space satellite.
Two research groups of the
Engineering Research Institute,
though not directly engaged in
preparations for launching the
satellite, have been studying the
science of rocket flight for almost
ten years.
The Upper Atmosphere Research
