President Hatcher recalled the "crisis" of returning students fol- lowing World War II and said, "The University is trying to pre- vent any other crisis through pre- paring for the normal controlled growth of the institution with an - insurance of greatest possible edu- cational benefits." ig He said that the least that can g be anticipated in the next 15 to 20 's years is a doubling of college at- -tendance, but stressed. that this figure depended on the stability of r the present college to non-college il attendance ratio.

The varnish covered figure was hit with an unknown type of bomb thrown by youths believed to be of high school age, and quickly caught fire. The blaze was serious enough to threaten the fraternity house so the Ann Arbor fire depart- ment was called upon to ex- tinguish the conflagration and prevent its spread. Ben Youssef May Regain Sultanship BEAUVALION, France () -- Deposed Sultan Mohammed Ben Youssef, 41, returned to France from a two-year Madagascar ex- ile yesterday and entered political talks that could return him to his turbulent Moroccan throne within three weeks. Amid nationalist exultation and conciliatory French moves, Yous- sef took up temporary residence in a well guarded Riviera hotel and prepared for a meeting, tenta- tively set for today in Paris, with Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay. Meets With Pnay The Sultan met yesterday after- noon with Pinay's right-hand man, Henri Yrissou, to arrange the meeting that could pave the way for his return to Morocco. Pinay was scheduled to go to Paris from Geneva, where he is attending the Big Four foreign ministers con- ference. The French government view is now held to be that Moroccan op- position to the Sultan has ceased to exist and, barring any unto- ward outbreaks, he could resume his throne by Nov. 18, anniversary of the date he ascended the throne in 1927 on his father's death. Maintains 'Moderate' Attitude Youssef has maintained a mod- erate attitude since negotiations began to restore order in the pro- tectorate that has been rocked by violence since his ouster two years a g o. Moroccan " opposition to Youssef faded to insignificance in the past week following two start- ling developments: 1. Powerful Berber chieftain Thami el Glaoui, Pasha of Mar- rakech, who helped oust the Sul- tan two years ago, made an about face and demanded Youssef's re- turn. 2. Aged Mohamed Ben Moulay Arafa, who reigned insecurely dur- ing the Sultan's two-year absence, declared from his present home in Tangier that he renounced all rights in favor of Youssef. Committee Will Study Auto Firm Senate To Probe General Motors WASHINGTON (P)-The Senate Antitrust and Monopoly subcom- mittee yesterday announced a full- scale study of General Motors. This study of the world's largest manufacturerwillhbe a part of the subcommittee's look at concentra- tion in the automotive industry. The public hearings, to start Nov. 8, will run three or four weeks. Witnesses are to include General Motors executives, people who deal with General Motors and economists. O'Mahoney Designated Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D- Wyo.), a sub-committee member, has been designated to preside by Chairman Harley M. Kilgore (D- W.Va.) who is abroad. Senator O'Mahoney said the ses- sions "are not an 'investigation' but a study." Nevertheless, the Senator said, the "staff has studied a number of complaints that General Motors and other automobile producers are forcing dealers to purchase unwanted cars, parts and acces- sories, and exercise dictatorial control over the type and size of their establishments, accounting methods, advertising and other business practices. Charges Vassalage "Technically, these dealers are independent business enterprises. It has been charged that, in fact, they are frequently littlenmore than economic vassals who exist at the pleasure of the manufactur- ers, and have little or no indepen- dent choice of important business decisions." Senator O'Mahoney said the sub- committee also is interested in charges that the relative bargain- ing power of General Motors and other auto companies is so great as to place suppliers at an unfair disadvantage. The principal purposes of the sessions, Senator O'Mahoney said, are to determine ".) whether or not the present size and scope of General Motors operations are the result primarily of superior effi- ciency and competitive skill; 2.) whether or not the great power associated with its size and scope, however achieved, carries with it the opportunity for abuse; or 3.) whether or not without abuse, the very magnitude of the corporation makes competition al- most impossible." Morse Urges Price Support PENDLETON, Ore. () - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) yesterday called the administration farm an "economic ringer" for farmers and urged restoration of high rigid farm price support. The former Republican senator who turned Democrat told a Sen- ate Agriculture Committee hearing that "Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson and the administration do not intend to remedy the farm program." A number of farmers advocated a so-called two-price plan under which growers would be assured full parity prices for their indi- vidual shares of the wheat con- sumed as food in this country. Russia Proposes New Europe Security Pact Israel Asks I Reds To Halt Arms Sale Sharett, Molotov Meet At Geneva GENEVA (P)-Prime Minister Moshe Sharett called on Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov yesterday to halt the sale of Communist bloc arms to Is- rael's Arab neighbors. Sharett went into the confer- ence with Molotov resolved to tell him the Communist tactic: 1. Might touch off new Mideast- ern fighting that could engulf Europe and the world. 2. Penalize Israel's policy of non- alignment, which Russia supports in other parts of the world. Russia Bids For Influence Communist sale of arms to the Egyptians is seen by Western and Israeli diplomats alike as a bid to leapfrog Russian influence over the Baghdad alliance binding the countries along the northern tier of the Mideast. Britain also is a member. while the United States expects to join later. Russia and Israeli alike have denounced that pact. The Russians are believed also to want a voice in Mideastern af- fairs-possibly at a big power con- ference in which the Arabs and Israelis could sit in. . First Meeting It was the first time Sharrett had met face-to-face with Moo- toy since Czech tanks, guns, sub- marines and MIG fighters began to flow into Egypt. He applied to Molotov in Moscow nearly two weeks ago for the con- ference. He got a definite yes only Saturday. Israel Forces Halt Invasion JERUSALEM OP) - An Israeli military spokesman said yesterday Israeli forces repelled an Egyptian foray into Israeli territory east of Gaza. It was the latest in a series of border violation charges that have raised fears of another Palestine war and sparked appeals for peace from the United Nations. Britain sent representatives to Israel and Egypt Monday adding its voice to the UN pleas. The Israeli spokesman said an Egyptian force under cover of automatic fire crossed the armis- tice line in the Nirim area east of the central sector of the Gaza strip. He 'said an Egyptian posi- tion at the same time opened fire on an Israeli outpost. No casual- ties were reported on the Israeli side. _ ,: Third Offer -Daily-John Hirtzei TRAMPS AND GHOSTS had their night yesterday when they found townspeople easy prey for their scaring techniques. Like all other children, these Ann Arborites went to bed with jingling piggy banks and full tummies. DUTY BEFORE LOVE: Margaret's Resolution: NotTo ed ownsend LONDON UA')-Princess Margaret told the world yesterday she has renounced her hope of marrying divorced Peter Townsend. "I would like it to be known that I have decided not to marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend," she announced. USSR Agrees To UN Levy UNITED NATIONS, NY UP) - The Soviet Union unexpectedly agreed yesterday to accept an in- crease in its share of the United Nations budget for the next three years. The move promised clear sailing for the question of fixing assess- ments this year. "I have been aware that subject to my renouncing my rights of succession it might have been pos- sible for me to contract a civil marriage. "But, mindful of the church's teaching that Christian marriage. is indissoluble, and conscious of my duty to the commonwealth, I have resolved to put these con- siderations before any others. "I have reached this decision entirely alone and in doing so I have been strengthened by un- failing support and devotion of Group Capt. Townsend." Princess Margaret's decision to put duty before love brought quick expressions of relief from church leaders-but left average Britons stunned, surprised and more than a little sad for her. Asks Finish Of NATO German Unity Again Bypassed GENEVA (M) - Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov asked the Western Powers yester- day to join in a revised collective security pact with the Soviet bloc, leaving Germany divided and set- ting no deadline for abolishing the military alliances of East and West. In revising his thrice-rejected security treaty, Molotov said the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion, the Western European Union' and the Communist Warsaw treaty organization should be liquidated. But he said the Soviet govern- ment does not propose a date for the liquidation. Molotov Proposes Molotov proposed that a semi- demilitarized zone be established to cover both the East and West German republics and "all or some neighboring states." The Russians thus took an ar- ticle from the West-supported "treaty of assurance" against Ger- man aggression and adapted it in effect to neutralize all Germany. The Western Powers proposed last week that such a zone straddle the frontiers of a reunited Ge-" many with Communist Poland and Czechslovakia. Dulles Withholds Comment While Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay temporar- ily withheld comment, British For- eign Secretary Harold Macmillan told Molotov: "This whole plan is based on the partition of Germany into two parts. Before it can be profitably studied we need to have promised Soviet proposals for German re- unification. Without German re- unification there can be no real progress toward security." The Western foreign ministers earlier urged the Soviet Union tor sweep aside the Iron Curtain for peaceful trade and freer contacts. Molotov also offered ideas on that subject. Path Blazed Secretary Dulles blazed a path toward friendlier East-West rela- tions with these voluntary actions: 1. He lifted the State Depart- ment ban on American travel to the Soviet Union and all other Communist countries in Eastern Europe with which the United States maintains diplonatic rep- resentation. With few exceptions, American passports have been in- valid for those areas since 1952. Even now, of course, entry will depend on the rate at which the Communist bloc nations issue visas. 2. Dulles pleadged United States regulations on peaceful exports to the Soviet bloc will now be pro- gressively simplified. "There is a solid basis for good will between us," Dulles told Molotov. "It is. a fact of history which should be remembered that our peoples have never fought each other." Extra Session To Consider Road Safety LANSING (M)-Michigan's legis- lature convenes in special session today for action on highway safe- ty, mental health and teacher pay raise proposals recommended by Gov. G. Mennan Williams. The Governor has presented the lawmakers with a 15-point high- way safety program which includes a state speed limit, a 200-man boost in the state police, legaliza- tion of chemical tests for drunk drivers and tightening of driver improvement systems.

The former Anti-Discrimination Board also agreed it would consider as within its jurisdiction all human relations problems concerning students. Among the complaints members were assigned to investigate were the familiar ones of discrimination in local barber shops and questions regarding roommate preference on residence hall applica- tions. Problems arising over the* choice of roommates for foreignP students were also discussed.

By BILL HANEY When Student Government Council elections are held Nov. 16 and 17 only 12 of the 17 persons who took out petitions will be candidates for the five open positions. These twelve people have several reasons in common for running as well as completely individual personal goals and aims. The most familiar reason candidates offer is they are just inter- ested in student government. Jerry Spielman, '58, however, had quite a different idea in mind when he took out his petition.

The purpose of his visit is to study current trends of thought in the American government and people with particular reference to their post-Geneva political at- titude.

He also mentioned he would like to see SGC handle its duties with- in the central committees instead of delegating them to other groups. Other candidates got interested in SGC through their work on other student organizations.
