Still Faces City
Officers, Mayor Meet; Resignation
Issue Placed On Individual Basis
By LEW HAMBURGER
The muddled picture of police relations, here remains blurred
this morning, after policemen decided last night that resignations,.
if submitted, would be on an individual basis.
The move followed a meeting in the city council chambers at
which Mayor William E. Brown, Jr. and several prominent Ann
Arbor citizens addressed the policemen.
No Pressure Applied'
The decision for individually submitted resignations, a detective
said, was in line-with the policemen's attempt to keep the procedure

Israel Says
JERUSALEM ()-Israel offered
last night to support United Na-
tions proposals for restoring a
cease-fire on the Egyptian-Israeli
frontier if thenmeasures upheld
Israeli rights and position in the
tense El Auja Nizana area.
The area was the scene last
week of the heaviest fighting since
the 1948 Palestine War ended in
an armistice signed on the Isle of
Rhodes in 1949.
Hammarskjold Speaks
While an uneasy peace brooded
over the border area, an Israeli
Foreign Ministry spokesman of-
fered what he called full support
to proposals advanced by UN Sec-
retary General Dag Hammarskjold
to end the threat to peace in the
troubled Negeb-Sinai frontier sec-
tor. The offer, was put in this
way:
"Insofar as the proposals on El
Auja Nizana submitted by the
secretary general of the United Na-
tions and the chief of staff of the
r UN Truce Supervisory Organiza-
tion are aimed at bringing about
full compliance of the parties
with provision of the general 1949
armistice agreement and insure Is-
rael's rights and positions in the
Nizana area, they are assured of
Israel's full support."
The Hammarskjold proposals
were made directly to Jerusalem
and Cairo.
Sharett To Visit
Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe
Sharett is scheduled to leave to-
day for the United States in a
quest for arms to balance recent
Communist bloc shipments to
Egypt.
Since the bloody outbreak last
week in El Auja, there have been
no major clashes on the Negeb
frontier, but both Cairo and Jeru-
salem reported a skirmish at the
southern tip of the Negeb near
the Israeli port of Eilat Elath yes-
terday.
The Cairo spokesman said four
Israelis were killed and eight were
wounded in the skirmish.
IFC Board
Calls in Data
Presidents of Phi Delta Theta
and Kappa Alpha Psi will be asked
to appear at the next Interfra-
ternity Counci ExecutivetCom-
mittee to explain failure to turn
in satisfactory health and sanita-
tion reports.
IFC Executive Vice-President
Bob Knutson, '56, told the Execu-
tive Committee yesterday Phi Delta
Theta did not turn in a report two
weeks ago and has not done so
despite several requests.
Sanitation reports of Triangle,
Zeta Psi, Phi Kappa Tau, Delta
Chi and Beta Theta Pi were ac-
cepted by the Executive Commit-
tee.
At yesterday's meeting Execu-
tive Committee considered a pro-
posed trophy honoring scholar-
ship, athletics and activities.
Offered by Sigma Alpha Mu, the
award would be given to "that
fraternity which has attained the
highest level of achievement in
the three most important phases
of fraternity endeavor."
Main objection to the trophy
was that it favored large houses.
Udemocratic. "We don't want any-
one to feel a minority is being
pressured by other officers," he
said.
"We are trying to keep our end
i of the action completely above-
board," he added.
In line with his statement was
a comment by a local industrialist
at last night's meeting. He com-
mended the police for being "be-
yond reproach" in their behavior
during the negotiations.
Supplement Income
At the meeting Mayor Brown'
reiterated the four methods he en-
visioned for further sources of
city income, and expressed confi-
dence that something could be
done in the line of pay increases
when the budget was re-opened in
July. "However, he couldn't pin
himself down to a promise," an
officer said.
Officers refused to commit
themselves concernifig their resig-
nations. Thirty-eight patrolmen
and detectives submitted resigna-
tions Friday, but withdrew them
late Saturday.
Now, with the issue on an in-
dividual basis, policemen were re-
luctant to say whether they, or
their fellow officers would re-sub-
mit resignations.
Disappointment Expressed
Regardless of whether any po-
licemen resign, the raise granted
by the budget committee is sub-
stantially below that the police
commission requested, and police
express "great disappointment at
results and conduct of the council
meeting Monday." -
A detective said the meeting
seemed rehearsed beforehand. No-
thing was heard from the large
crowd in the council room when
discussion on the budget commit-
tee recommendation was called
for.
The detective cited the fact that
some of the patrolmen's wives
make more than their husbands,
and added: "The only cure, if they
can't get more .money, is to seek
better paying jobs."j
FBA Tryout 1
Aleeting Held
The Fraternity Buyers Associa-
tion held its only mass meeting
for trainees last night at the
League.
The training program was ex-
plained to the 12 applicants by
Bob Nelson, '56. The trainees will
work on each of the seven com-
mittees for two weeks. After that
they will decide in which phase
of FBA they are interested.

'West's Allies
Take Recess
To Organize
Molotov's Action
May End Meeting
GENEVA UP) - Soviet Foreign
Minister V.M. Molotov stunned the
Big Four conference last night
with a thunderous demand for
Communist dominance in a United
Germany.
The Western Allies immediately
obtained a recess until today. A
l French delegation officer said "to-
morrow's meeting could be the
last.
"If Molotov maintains his posi-
tion, including his statement that
Russia does not intend to submit'
any other proposals on German
unification, it is difficult to see
how the West could make any
agreement or compromise on any
other front in the agenda," the
French official said.
Meetings Needed
But American officials later in-
dicated that despite the confer-
ence's apparent failure the Big
Four would need at least three or
four more meetings to complete
their agenda.
Molotov's sweeping rejection of
any plan to unify Germany by free
elections in the foreseeable future
and his blunt demand that all Ger-
many follow the Communist course
of the East German regime de-
molished Western hopes of con-
ciliation, built up by his Moscow
remark Monday night that he was
bringing back "better baggage" to
Geneva.
