Craig Orders
Strike Area
ATroops Cut,
INDIANAPOLIS () - Gov.
George C. Craig yesterday ordered
the National Guard force patroling
Perfect Circle Corporation strike
areas cut by about one-half effec-
tive noon tomorrow.
Martial law will remain in ef-
fect at Hagerstown and throughout
Henry County.
The governor approved the re-
duction by a telephone al to his
office from Chicago. It already
'had the approval of Maj. Gen. H.
A.dDoherty, state adjutant gen-
eral.
Capt. William Scott, assistant
adjutant general, said Col.Howard
S Wilcox, troop commander, had
expressed the belief he could police
the area satisfactorily with the
smaller force.
The number of troops will be
cut from 600 to slightly over 300.
Four tanks and four half tracks
will stay in the area.
Monday the governor reduced
the guard force from 1,000 to 600
No Booze, Tricks
NEW CASTLE, Ind. ()-Mil-
itary authorities elamped down
a firm thumb yesterday on both
bootlegging and pre-Halloween
pranks, with no end in sight
for the martial law in the Per.
feet Circle Corporation strike.
and lifter martial law in the Rich-
mond area surrounding the struck
firm's two plants there.
Yesterday's action releases all
of the 1st battalion 151st Infantry
regiment, including units from An-
derson, Alexandrian and Indian-
apolis.
Their place will be taken as of
noon tomorrow by Headquarters
Company, 2nd Battalion, 151st
Infantry, from Frankfort, and F
Company of the 151st, from Attica.
Capt. Scott said Col. Wilcox
would determine how large a de-
tachment from the new units would
be diverted from New Castle to
Hagerstown, but he estimated it
at about one platoon of between
25 and 50 officers and men.
Connecticut
Hit Hardest
In New Flood
NEW HAVEN, Conn. () - Gov
Abraham A. Ribicoff walked
through a wire mill yesterday
where he saw machinery highe
than his head festooned with mud-
dy tree branches, shrubs and grass
What he encountered in th
Gilbert & Bennett Ffg. Co. in the
Georgetown section of Redding
was only one of gountless suc
sights that confronted him as h(
embarked on a tour of Fairfiel
County, hardest hit when weeken
fioods'spread death and destruc-
tion over Connecticut and fiv
other Northeastern states.
For immediate and long rang
rehef, the governor sought assist-
ance r cm the Small Business Ad-
ministraion with its disaster lor
program grd from the Army en-
gineers, flood clean-up ad pre-
vention specialists. Both agecie:
responded quickly.
The a':ea was hit, and harder
by the Aug. 19 Hurricane Dian
and again last weekend. Connec-
ticut got the worst of it both times
The toll of dead and missing

for the whole area from the most
recent flood was 42, with 16 o:

nize. This country agreed reluc-
tantly to the Geneva talks in the
hope of freeing 41 Americans de-
tained insideChina.
Red China, slow in following
through a Sept. 10 agreement to
free the Americans, has been press-
ing for talks on the other half of
the agenda-"other practical matt
ters." These include such differ-
ences as free world curbs on trade
with Red China and Peiping's
claims to the United Nations seat
occupied by Nationalist China.
The United States heretofore
has held back on discussing these
questions at Geneva, demanding
proof first that 25 Americans still
in China will be allowed to leave.
Departure of Policy
Sec. Dulles' disclosures repre-
sented somewhat of a departure
from this policy, possibly signaling
U.S. satisfaction that Red China
will fulfill its promise.
New, too, is word that the Chi-
nese Communists have formally.
raised their proposal for high-level
talks, although a number of trial
balloons have been floated by
Peiping propaganda and neutral-
ists like India.
Dulles made it clear at a news
conference that he opposes this
kind of a meeting until the U.S.
and Red Chinese special envoys
at Geneva have squeezed all they
can out of negotiations on such
issues as:
Force As Method
1. U.S. refusal to talksto Red
China with a loaded pistol at its
head-in other words, as long as
the Communists refuse to re-
nounce force as a way of achiev-
ing their goals. The United States
is not asking, however, that Red
China abandon its legal claims to
such goals as Foriosa and the
offshore islands of Quemoy and
Matsu-claims which this country
opposes.
2. Peiping's call for an end to
the trade embargo imposed on the
China mainland by the United

SGC Motion Will Seek
Campus Rushing Study
Student Government Council will entertain a motion today asking
for a seven member committee to study fraternity and sorority rushing
procedures.I
The committee, as it will be proposed by Daily Managing Editor
Dave Baad, '56, will call for representatives of the four housing,
groups and three SGC members.
Ask For Report
Baad will ask that it be charged with reporting back to the
Council with definite proposals by the first week of March.
Interfraternity Council is expected to propose that rushing pro-
cedures be studied by a joint IFC-Inter-House Council committee

UN Contest
Brings U.S.,
Britain Split
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. OP)-
Britain split yesterday with the
United States over a hot contest
between Yugoslavia and the Phil-
ippines for a seat on the UN
Security Council.
The British spread the word'
through UN delegations they will
support Yugoslavia when the
Assembly convenes today to resume
balloting. The United States serv-
ed equally definite notice it will
continue to support the Philippines
to the end.
Won't Withdraw
Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo,
veteran Philippine delegate who
was rushed here from Manila to
bolster the Philippine campaign,
said he will not withdraw from
the contest.
He conferred with several dele-
gates as UN corridors resounded
to the talk about the election.
"I am a Bataan man - we never
surrender," Romulo said.
Seasoned diplomats making a
quick count of possilbe votes said
the United States and the Philip-
pines appeared in danger of taking
a beating unless a ,political miracle
occurred. They doubted it would.
The Americans, from Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles and
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge,
Jr, down to junior officials, have
been trying to persuade Britain to
change her mind and back the
Philippines. But it was.reported
the British had informed the
Americans they could not do so.
Geographical Distribution
The itsue involves geographical
distribution of seats on the Secur-
ity Council. The Philippines and
Yugoslavia seek the Eastern Euro-
pean seat held by Turkey.
Britain, backed by all of the
European members of the UN,
contends this seat was allocated
to Eastern Europe by a gentle-
man's agreement made in London
in 1946 when the UN was being
cgnstituted.
The Europeans claim the Phil-
ippines are too far away to qualify
as an Eastern European country.
The U.S. has contended this
agreement was made for one year
and has lapsed. Lodge repeated
this contention in a statement last
week before the Assembly began
voting on the council seats.
He was opposing Poland at that
time. He also claimed Asia is
ander-represented on the council.

At a meeting yesterday, frater-
nity presidents adopted a motion
calling for study of rushing prob-
lems by the IFC and IHC followed
by a report to SGC for recom-
mendations.
Beyond SGC Scope
Some fraternity presidents voic-
ed opinion that rushing problems
were beyond SGC's scope and
should be considered only by IFC.
IFC President Bob Weinbaum,f
'56, said an objective view was
needed and the executive com-
mittee felt it would be "quite
proper" to put rushing problems1
before a joint IFC-IHC committee
which would report to SGC.
Sentiment at Fratenity Presi-
dent's Assembly was strongly in
favor of having IFC and IHC deal
with the problem rather than put
it to a committee of the type Baad
will propose.
Directly Concerned
Bob Gillow, '56, commented,
"We're not opposed to SGC but
we'd like to see the problem tack-1
led by those most directly con-
cerned."a
After the meeting Weinbaum
claimed one of the basic elements
behind SGC is "to bring together
people best able to cope with prob-;
lems."
"This is an instance, WeinbaumI
said, "where SGC can delegate
authority and rest assured the
problem will be handled well." ,
Objection from several quarters
has been voiced that IHC and
IFC, because of vested interests,
would stalemate and be unable to
reach a decision.
Weinbaum said he thought this
was not justified. "These two
groups can intelligently discuss the
problem and bring back recom-
mendations.

Up to the final moment the is-

the deputies started to vote, Faure.
appealed for support, candidly ad-
mitting the possibility his Cabinet
might go under after eight months
in office.
The Premier said he was not
asking the deputies to keep him
in office just because of the Ge-
neva meeting starting Oct. 27, or
because France walked out of the
United Nations General Assembly
on the Algerian issue.
But he added: "In asking your
confidence, I ask you to approve
the position taken in the United

toine Pinay."

Earth Study
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec-

the development of the space satellite

By JIM DYGERT
Daily City Editor
An earth satellite sent 250 miles
above the earth would greatly ex-
pand presently limited areas of
research.
Measuring air density and temp-
erature from a satellite would pro-
vide valuable information for long
range weather forecasting among
other things.
Some of the research would be
similar to what "we are doing
now, but at a higher level," ac-
cording to Leslie M. Jones, who
supervises the Aeronautical Engin-
eering Department's Upper At-
mosphere Research project.
Measures Air Density
Jones' group conducts air den-
sity measurements of a kind which
might also be made from the sat-
ellite. The group is also using
techniques in sending rockets alof
which are not only valuable to its
research but also important i:

University to close the street Mon-
day night, clearing the way for
completion of the sale.
If the meeting of University and
school board goes smoothly, the
University will begin plans for a
modern addition to the high school
and a rehabilitation and moderni-
zation of the old building.
High school students are ex-
pected to be able to move* to the
plush new building at Stadium
Boulevard about January 1, 1956.
However, University Vice-Presi-
dent Wilbur K. Pierpont said yes-
terday that he didn't believe con-
struction of the addition would
begin until next summer, and in-
dicated it wouldn't be completed
The University plans to use the
old building for romance language
and social work departments, and
upon completion of the project
will raze the present Romance
Language building, condemned for
years.
Pierpont added that he didn't
think work on widening of streets
in the area, a part of the council
motion, would begin until this
spring.

SGC Meets
To .Discussl
Group A ims,
Members of Student Govern-
ment Council assembled for a din-
ner meeting with the executive
committee of the Faculty Senate
last night.
The main topic of discussion
was the concern that SGC should
have with the improvement of the
educational environment at the
University.
According to Hank Berliner, '56,
SGC President, Council members
felt that it is not enough to justi-
fy student government on the
basis of the Homecoming Dance,
the Student Book Exchange and
Cinema Guild. But there is also
more than just the educational
objective to justify the existance
of the body.

For Future
Coed Unit
To Be Located
On New Campus
By LEE MARKS
Residence Halls Board of Gov-
ernors voted yesterday to build
the new dorm for women students
and return East Quad's Tyler and
Prescott houses to men.
After prolonged debate a mo-
tion to build a coed dorm instead
and hold the status-quo in East
Quad was narrowly defeated when
Vice-President for Student Affairs
and Chairman of the Board James
A. Lewis broke a five-five dead-
lock.
Begin Immediate Planning
At the same time the Board vot \
ed to hire an architect and begin
immediate planning for a large
coed dorm to be built on a North
Campus site.
In addition the Board of Reg-
ents will be asked by the Residence
Halls Board to authorize planning,
of a small men's unit located on
this campus. Pending construc-
tion of such a unit, the Board
committed itself to the return of
Victor Vaughn and Fletcher Hall
to the men if need arises.
The new dorm will be located
behind the School of Public
Health on what is termed the i
Washington Heights site. The pro-
perty is now owned by the Uni-
versity.
Six to Three Vote
The motion proposing a wom-
en's dorm and reconversion of Ty-
ler and Prescott was carried b
a six toplree vote with one ab- -
stention.
As contemplated the new dorm
will be block shaped and probably
five stories high, according to
Frank Sheil, manager of service
enterprises. Sheil compared pro-
posed shape of the dorm to Mosh-
er-Jordan Hall.
Members of the Board were
unanimously in favor of the
principle of coed living but deemed
it impractical at the present time.
Objections to Building
Location and size of the site, ad-
ditional construction costs and
possible loss in total capacity
were principal objections raised to
building a coed dorm now.
Discussion of reconversion of
Tyler and Prescott Houses center-
ed around two points-necessty
of retaining a proper ratio be-
tween men and women's housing
and unsuitability of accomoda-
tions for women.
Foregone Conclusion
Once the motion to build a coed
dorm had been, defeated, it was a
foregone conclusion Tyler and
Prescott would have to be recon-
verted to provide additional men's
housing.
Dean of Women Deborah Bacon
)bjected to using East Quad to.
house women because of lack of
facilities. Bathroom arrangements,
lack of pressing and washing fac-
ilities and poor location of lounges
were cited.
Bleha Initiates Discussion
Following discussion of a report
on present ratio of men and
women's housing Inter - House
Council President President Tom
Bleha, '56, initiated discussion of
coed dorms.
Sheil pointed out construction
of a coed dorm would involve
additional costs because it would

have to be built as two connected.
units. That would mean extra
petitions and stairways.

BING CITES DEFICIT:
Manager Discusses Met's Problems

By MARY LEE DINGLER
Terming himself "a guest in
this country," Rudolph Bing told
an audience here yesterday, "the
Metropolitan is America 's national
opera-and ranks among the top
two or three in the world."
The second speaker in the Uni-
versity's Lecture Series, Bing
General Manager of the Metro-
politan Opera Association con-
trasted the economic status of the
Metropolitan with that of Euro-
pean Opera Houses.
Government Support

Speaking with the clipped ac-
cent of his native Vienna, Bing
said one reason for the move was
the poor seating arrangement in
the old house's balcony which pre-
vented complete view of the stage.
"The seating arrangement is
entirely undemocratic," Bing re-
marked, "Opera is no longer mere-
ly divertisement for the :ich.
The Metropolitan mangyger ex-
plained the belief in the existance
of "a great gap between a genuine
love for opera and an uhderstand-
ing of what makes it tick."
