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.

New Orleans 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 as Sec. Benson yesterday. This led 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 AA Ceases 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." Eisenhower Looks to To Provide 'Pace of Justice' EZRA T. BENSON ..., mending home fences 000 on the purchase of pork and, lard to encourage consumption and assist farmers in adjusting their production to market de- mands. Hog prices are about 30. per cent lower than a year ago. The purchase program was an- nounced last Monday. Program Expected To Be Issue The Eisenhower .farm program promises to be a major issue in the presidential election next year. 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- 4: Geneva Conference Convenes; Russia JOHN FOSTER DULLES VYACHESLAV M.

The Color Unit will also televise Saturday's game over the NBC- TV network. Lee Ann Meriwether, "Miss America of 1954," will be a feature attraction in tomorrow's color telecast of Dave Garroway's "Today" and will remain at the' University for the Homecoming festivities Saturday. The Michigan Marching .Band will drill before the color cameras on "Today" and Athletic Director H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler will discuss the Iowa game with narrator(- -____ Dick McCutchen. Also appearing will be the Uni- Police Search versity's cheering section. The Wolverine team itself will run through pre-game drills for the For Makers national TV audience. 'The color telecasts will be re- layed to studios in New York, where they will be transmitted over the coast-to-coast network. The Police yesterday continued a Color Mobile Unit uses the Radio Corporation of America "Compat- ible" telecasting system for both- color and black-and-white r.ecep- tion. The Color Mobile Unit, designed' and built by RCA, is the only one of its kind in the world. The $2,000,000 caravan has three' bus- type vans and carries five RCA color television cameras. Completely self-sufficient while on tour, the unit has a staff of 25 cameramen, technicians and me- chanics who are trained to operate the unit and handle repairs and technical problems when and where they occur. Under the direct supervision of Barry Wood, Director of Special Events for NBC, the Color Mobile Unit arrived in Ann Arbor yester- day from Greenfield Village, Dear- born, where programs were telecast in color Tuesday. After Saturday's game, the unit will travel to Wayne University in Detroit and then to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Day- ton, Ohio. The caravan will be in Philadelphia- on November 26 to televise the Army-Navy game. quest for makers of false quarters being deposited in campus cigar- 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.

The foreign ministers of Brit- ain, France. the United States and the Soviet Union meet today to carry out the directives 'of the summit chiefs of government. Both Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles expressed hope on their arrival that "the spirit of Geneva" created by the summit parley can be retained as the keystone in diplomatic efforts to reduce East-West friction. '1Smog Kills 2 NEW ORLEANS (P) - Choking smog smothered parts of New ,r Orleans yesterday, triggered a wave of asthma attacks that killed two persons and sent more than 3501 others to hospitals for treatment. Most of the attacks occurred be- tween midnight and dawn, crowd- ing the emergency room at Charity Hospital with coughing, wheezing victims. Extra Help Called Doctors described the attacks as "unusually severe" and called in extra staff help to handle the rush of patients. Dr. Roy White of Foundation Hospital, an allergy specialist, blamed smog, smoke and heavy moisture for the sudden outbreak. The dead were Jules Glaspin, 65, and Joseph Armes, 52. At Charity, Dr. George Ramsey TO HEAT NEW BUILDINGS: Construct Additions to Ste am Tunnel Construction on two new Uni- versity steam tunnels will be fin- ished in approximately three weeks, according to Richard Juipe, superintendent of the project. The tunnels are being run off a unit which heats the Student Publications Bldg. on Maynard Street. The existing tunnel will be open- ed and a large steam chamber built around the break. Then the new tunnels will be added, one leading to the University Press Bldg. now being constructed in an adjoining lot. The other will ex- tend south along Maynard toward National Roundup By The Associated Press 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. , * * * Merge Near Completion NEW YORK-The heads of the CIO and the AFL, Walter Reuther and George Meany, said yesterday the merger of the two into a single labor organization is all but completed. AFL's Meany said the combined union's constitution is in the "final stages" of preparation, a regional structure has been worked out and a Washington staff is "practically wound up." Some details remain to be worked out before the AFL and CIO IK W.. OWNS;
