Group to Consider
Council Organization
By GAIL GOLDSTEIN
A committee to study the pre-
sent organization structure of
'Student +Government Council was
announced last night by SGC
president Hank Berliner, '56.
Donna Netzer, '56; Phil Berry,
Spec. BAd.; Bill Diamond, '56E;
r and Tom Bleha, '56, were named
ivy Berliner with Miss Netzer as
chairman of the committee.
The committee will make their
initial report to the Council at
the Nov. 23 meeting.
Discussion was heard on the
problem of all-campus bucket
drives which resulted in the ap-
proval of the Galen's drive for
Dec. 2 and 3.
Approval was not granted to
Tag Day drive sponsored by the
junior interfraternity Council and
Junior Panhellenic scheduled for
Nov. 10 and 11.
Suggest Spring Tag Day
It was suggested in the recom-
mendation from the Council's cal-
endaring committee that Tag Day
be postponed until spring when it
is usually held because of the
closeness of the two drives.
R o b e r t Kretzschmar, '57M,
speaking for Galen's Society said
proceeds from the drive go to
support the workshop for children
at the University hospital school.
He felt two drives so close to
each other would be harmful to
both campaigns, especially since
i the drives are so similar.
Speaking for Tag Day, Junior
IFC president Stewart Gordon, '58,
said the drives were separated by
Thanksgiving vacation which
would give a break between them.
Gordon said that it was difficult
for IFC and Panhel to hold both
the drive and helpweek activities
at the Fresh Air Camp so the
groups had decided to hold the
:drive in the fall.
Recommended Acceptance
Bill Adams, '57, moved that the
recommendations of the calendar
committee be accepted and the
Council passed the motion.
Berliner announced that candi-
dates running for the Council in-
cluded Don Good, 157E; Joe Col-.
lins, '56E; Janet Neary, '58; Jim
Childs, '57; Sy Ziegelman, '58;
Andree Knight, '58; Greg Argus,
'58; John Wrona, '57; Stan Mar-
tin, '56; Jerome Spielman, '58;
Merrill Kaufman, '56E; and Roger
Comstock, '56E.
Plans for the Candidate's Train-
ing Program and the election were
announced by Tom Cleveland, '57,
Election's Director. Candidates will
wear buttons to identify themselves
to students and election booths
will be made more noticeable with
signs urging students to vote dis-

Benson Cancels
European Tour
Agriculture Secretary Alters Plans
To Study Boiling Farm Problem
WASHINGTON (JP-Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson
abandoned plans for a European tour yesterday in order to concen-
trate on the farm problem, a boiling political issue.
He announced after a White House conference that he will re-
main in Washington next month "to direct the continuing prepara-
tion of recommendations to Congress designed to strengthen, improve
and refine the present agricultural program."
Vice President Richard M. Nixon was understood to have been at
1
the White House at the same time
to speculation that Nixon may4
have had a hand in Benson's sud-
den change of plans.
Benson Changes Mind
Less than two weeks ago Sec.
Benson told reporters that he had
no intention of canceling the trip.
He was to have addressed the
United Nations Food and Agri-
cultural Organization in Rome
Nov. 7 and proceed on a tour -to
boost the sale of American farm
exports.
The Secretary said at that time
he was "concerned" about sagging
farm prices but that he didn't
find "anything in the picture to
cause panic." -
Since then the government has
decided to spend about $85,000,-1

Farm Group
Asks Price,
Crop Control
DES MOINES (P)-The Senate
Agriculture Committee warmly
commended yesterday Iowa Farm
Bureau proposal that the govern-
ment spend up to $1,000,000,000 a
year for a time to slow down price-
depressing farm over-production.
President Howard Hill of the
Farm Bureau told the committee-
touring the country in search of
ideas for bolstering a sagging farm
economy - that the Eisenhower
Administration program of flex-
ible supports alone will not do the
job.
While urging retention of such
supports, Hill declared that they
should be accompanied by a "posi-
tive and effective government pro-
gram to control production."
Present Controls Maintained
The farm leader would retain
present crop control measures-
which can legally be applied to
only a few basic crops-but would
add a land rental program which
would offer an incentive to take
surplus land out of production un-
til farm supplies pan be balanced
with needs.
He suggested that such payments
cover taxes on idle-land,, the cost
of seeding it to soil-building crops
with no harvesting or grazing al-,
lowed, and 5 to 7 per cent of the
annual average productive value
of the land as a rental fee.
'Would Build Soil Fertility'
"Such a program," Hill declared,
"would build soil fertility for the
future, control production and re-
duce waste. It would cost no
more than the present program,
taking into account losses on sur-
pluses and might in the long run
cost less."
Arab, Israeli
Debate Set
The Arab-Israeli dispute will be
debated by a panel of Arab and
Israeli students at 7:30 p.m. to-
day in Auditorium A, Angell Hall.
A sore-spot in world politics
since the end of the British man-
date in Palestine in 1948, Arab-
Israeli relations have reached a
new climax with the recent arms
deal by Russia to Egypt. The West
is now trying to prevent another
outbreak, of war in the Middle
East.
Sponsored by the Young Demo-
crats Club, the debate will be in-
troduced and moderated by Prof.
John Dawson of the Law School.
Two students from each country
will sit on the panel

Wayne-Major
Negotiations
'U' Confident Airline
Stays At Willow Run
By DICK SNYDER
As a result of yesterday's deci-
sion by American Airlines to call
off negotiations with Wayne Coun-
ty, University officials have ex-
pressed confidence that airlines
will not shift operations from Wil-
low Run to Wayne-Major Airport
for several years to come, if at all.
Supervisor for the University-
owned air terminal, Floyd G.
Wakefield, labeled the "antagon-
izing 'remarks made by Wayne
County highway engineer LeRoy C.
Smith "especially encouraging."
In a statement attributed to him
by a Detroit paper, Smith said that
if the other airlines at Willow Run
did decide to move to Wayne-Ma-
jor, "they won't get the same deal
as American."
'Pressure on Others'
"The other airlines won't do so
well stuck way out in the coun-
try," Smith continued. "The pres-
sure is on them."
Smith has been one of the most
vigorous proponents for the shift
in airlines terminal to the Wayne
County location,. ten miles nearer
Detroit than the present field.
The University purchased the
field from the federal government
as war surplus after World War II,
and since 1947 it has served as
the major Detroit-area commer-
cial terminal.
Seven of the nine lines operat-
ing out of Willow Run are mem-
bers of a joint operating body,
the Airlines National Terminal
Service Co., Inc. (ANTSCO).
Letter Sent to Officials
After a lengthy discussion yes-
terday of American's possible move
to Wayne-Major, the six other
ANTSCO members sent Smith and
Detroit Mayor Albert E. Cobo a
letter of complaint regarding the
single proposal to American.
The letter reminded the officials
that they agreed at a May 24
meetingto submit a "prospectus"
within 30 days outlining a plan
of operations should the airlines
shift to the Wayne County port.
It stressed that five months
have elapsed since the meeting
and no "prospectus" has been
forthcoming. "We have delayed
making certain capital improve-
ments at Willow Run awaiting re-
ceipt of the proposal. Once we
have committeed ourselves to this
added investment it will be dif-
ficult for us to consider any pro-
posal which might be made," the
letter concluded.
Referring to American's decision
to call of negotiations with the
city and county officials, super-
visor Wakefield termed the action
"comparable to 1946 when Ameri-
can finally backed down in its
attempt to transfer operations
from City Airport to Wayne-
Major."'
Other Lines Opposed
All other major airlines at this
time preferred Willow Run over
the Wayne County port and Amer-
ican officials finally agreed to
locate there also.
'"It's the same situation all over
' again," Wakefield said. "It's very
hard for one airline to step out of
line and locate away from the
majority."
Expressing confidence that the
airlines would all remain at the
University-owned airport, Wake-
field said, "Time is the big factor
working against transfer to
Wayne-Major."

Program Expected To Be Issue
The Eisenhower .farm program
promises to be a major issue in

The Senate's Democratic-con-
trolled Agriculture Committee is
out on the road right now, con-
ducting a series of public hearings
around the country to get the
farmers' views on the price prob-.
lem.
Benson said he will again urge
Congress to approve "several ad-
ministration recommendations not
acted upon this year."
He listed among these legisla-
tion to carry out the administra-
tion's program for low income
farmers. Last April, in a special
message to Congress, President
Eisenhower and Benson asked for
$30,000,000 in lending authority
and strengthening of off-farm em-
ployment opportunity for farmers
who were struggling to make ends
meet.
Ike Accents
Need of Red
Earnestness
President Shows
Steady Recovery
DENVER (.)-President Dwight
D. Eisenhower, on the eve of the
Big Four foreign ministers con-
ference, put it up to Russia yes-
terday to join in promoting "a
pace of justice" in a spirit of con-
cilation.
With the conferences opening
today in Geneva, the convalescing
President said "peaceful progress
for which the world longs" can
be achieved there if the Soviet
Union matches the sincerity of the
Western powers - the United
States, Great Britain and France.
President Eisenhower's state-
ment underscoring his deep and
active interest in the conference
in the midst of recuperation from
a heart attack came as his doc-
tors continued their encouraging
reports.
No Complications In Health
The 12:30 p.m.. CST bulletin
from Fitzsimons Army Hospital
said the President had another
"excellent night's sleep" of eight
and a half hours and that he
awoke refreshed and cheerful. And
in this fifth week of recovery
there still are no signs of com-
lications, the physicians said.
In his statement on the foreign
ministers conference, the President
harked back to the summit meet-
ing he had at Geneva last July
with Soviet Premier Nikolai Bul-
ganin, British Prime Minister Sir
Anthony Eden and French Premier
Edgar Faure.
Recalls Purpose of Meet
He recalled he said at the start
of that conference that the pur-
pose was to "create a new spirit
that will make possible future solu-
tions of problems which are within
our responsibilities."
Yesterday he declared the world
hopes the summit meeting "did in
fact create the new spirit.
But he recalled,' too, that he said
after the July conference that the
"acid test" of' Soviet sincerity
would come at the foreign minis-
ters meeting now about to open.
New Taxes
Stop British
Free-Spending
LONDON (/P) - Prime Minister
A nthon y Eden's government
clamped down on free-spending
Britons last night with stiff new
sales and profits taxes.
A drastic anti-inflation program
was outlined to the House of Com-
mons to curb spending at home
and funnel more of the goods from
booming factories into the dollar-
earning market.
Chancellor of the Exequer Rich-
ard A. Butler introduced an emer-
gency budget that will lower the
living standards of all but the
richest of Britons.
The sales taxes-hiked 20 per
cent onaeverything from tooth-
paste to automobiles-go into ef-
fect today before the start of the
big Christmas shopping spree.
With shouts of "resign, resign"
from opposition laborites ringing
in his ears, Butler, a Conservative,
explained the clampdown on buy-
ing:
"Home demand and home
spending are not only sapping the
competitive power, of our exports,
but are also drawing a larger vol-
ume of imports than we can af-
ford."
Butler's special budget-first of
its kind since the economic crisis
of 1947-shaped up as the sternest
political test since the general
elections last May.
Butler announced the sales taxes
would be extended to some pre-
viously exempt low price consum-

ette machines.
Warren H. Scofield. operator of
a local vending company, came to
police Tuesday with two pennies
pressed into copper washers, mak-
ing them the size of quarters._
He said $25 worth of the coins
had been collected from cigarette
machines in the University area,
and five dollars alone from a ma-
chine on South Quad's eighth
floor.
Scofield said the case had been
reported to Washington and the
National Association of Vending
Machine Operators, where infor-
mation is coordinated on methods
of "beating the machines."
He said the reply was that the
coins had appeared in Air Force
bases across the nation, and were
probably made from parts off the
old model "T" automobiles.
The incidents constitute federal
offenses andhave also been re-
ported to Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation and Bureau of Inter-!
nal Revenue officials.
Differences Evident
In spite of their hopeful com-
ments, the two diplomats spelled
out differences of opinion. Sec.
Dulles said his delegation would
work hard to carry out the Big
Four aim of handling the closely
linked problems of German reuni-
fication and European security. He
mentioned these in that order.
In his equally careful descrip-
tion of the objectives, Molotov list-
ed European security first, Ger-
many second and disarmament
third.
Jaunty and self-assured, Sec.
Dulles said the spirit of Geneva is
idnife now with the hopes of
all the world for lasting peace.
Molotov Appears Happy
Molotov, wearing a new west-
ern-style suit, grinned broadly as
he arrived. He pledged the Soviet
delegation to work for ,a program
that would "put an end to the cold
war."
Facing the Big Four were these
basic problems:
1. European security and reuni-
fication of divided Germany.
2. World disarmament.
3. Trade and cultural exchange
between East and West.
Creeping into the picture were
last minute developments the con-
ference may have to deal with be-
fore it closes, probably in three
weeks.
One of these issues is an Israeli
complaint that the Soviet Union
is supplying arms to Egypt through
satellite Czechoslovakia. Israel's
Premier-Foreign Minister Moshe
Sharett flew to Paris to present
his nation's case and was set to
repeat it in Geneva if given the
forum.
Egyptian and Israeli forces
clashed again yesterday in the El
Aujanitzana demilitarized zone.
Each side blamed the other and
gave conflicting accounts of the
incident.
Faure Loses
Valuable Votes
PARIS (I- Premier Edgar
Faure lost two procedural votes in
the National Assembly early to-
day and then demanded a vote of
confidence from the rebellious
lawmakers.
The double setback came during
a day-long debate on general gov-
ernment policies. Faure's call for
a confidence vote immediately shut
off further discussion.
The conference ballot will be
taken during the Assembly ses-
sion starting at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Faure's recent call for advanc-
ing the date of the next national
elections and a shower of bad news
for France from all over the world
appeared to be the main factors
in the Assembly's revolt.
The elections are scheduled for
next June but Faure has proposed
advancing them to December of
this year. Many deputies opposed

WASHINGTON-Some of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
friends and neighbors hereabouts are considering a welcome home
celebration when he returns to the capital next month.
It's all very tentative, though. The President's well-wishers want
to make sure first that he and his doctors have no objection.
District of Columbia officials, who would have charge of any
such welcome, showed immediate interest in the idea but withheld
making any plans until they had checked with the White House.
White House officials here withheld any official reaction but their
feeling appeared to be one of caution. The last thing they wanted,
obviously, was a bout of hand-shaking or anything else that might
tire President Eisenhower.
