At Geneva
GENEVA I Russia and the
Western Powers last night broke
up the Big Four conference in con-
fessed failure to secure the peace
of Europe, unify Germany, or ex-
pand East-West relations.
The three Western foreign min-
isters bitterly accused Russia's V.
M. Molotov of bad faith in all his
major proposals during the three-
week conference.
Molotov, in his c o n c l u d i n g
speech, claimed that only the
Soviet Union had maintained the
"Geneva spirit" which marked the
summit conference here f o u r
months ago.
Won't Cease Efforts
In a separate declaration direc-
ed to Germans on both sides of the
Iron Curtain, the United States,
French and British ministers said
their governments would "not
cease their efforts to end the in-
justice and wrong now being done
by dividing the German people."
All four ministers agreed on only
one thing-no commitment to
meet again..
To Report Results
The final conference communi-
que said they would "report the
result of their discussions to their
respective heads of government
and recommend that the future
course of the discussions of the
foreign ministers should be settled
through diplomatic channels."
In 21 days, the conference scored
a series of massive failures.
Contrary to the directive from
the heads of government at the
summit meeting last July, the min-
isters contributed nothing to "the
relaxation of international tension
and the consolidation of confidence
between states." Instead, their pro-
longed psych'ological warfare here
created new distrust.
Froze German Division
They froze harder the division
of Germany between Western and
Eastern blocs, with Russia no
longer even paying lip service to
the principle of free elections to
unite 70 million Germans.

EGYPT PROTESTS:
Israel Asks. For U.S.
Arms, Cut-Rate Prices
WASHINGTON (I')-Israel formally asked yesterday for United
States arms at cut-rate prices on easy payment terms.
Egypt promptly protested that this would start a Middle East
arms race and lose America the friendship of Arabs.
Israel's Ambassador Abba Eban told the State Department his
country urgently needs defense weapons. He said Israel has a "sense
of alarming vulnerability" arising
Ann Arbor Hit
By Cold Wave,
Gusty Winds
A gusty wind, ranging between
20 and 50 miles per hour, hit Ann
Arbor last night at 7 p.m. but

Elected, Head

Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 16 (N)
--Dr. A. C. Kerlikowske, director
of University Hospital, was chosen
president-elect of the Michigan
Hospital Assn. yesterday.
Dr. Kerlikowske, president of the
American College of Hospital Ad-
ministrators, will succeed Mildred

munist arms.
Egypt's Ambassador Comments
But 5%/ hours later Egypt's Am-
bassador Ahmed Hussein turned
up at the State Department to
say:
"We belive Israel doesn't need
American arms. We need arms
ourselves for defense.
Hussein told George V. Allen,
assistant secretary for Middle East
affairs, that "Egypt may be com-
pelled" to make more arms deals
with the Communists.
Request Under Consideration,
The State Department issued
statements saying Israel's request
had been taken under considera-
tion and Egypt's protest had been
noted.
But the department stood by re-
cent expressions of President
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
that the solution of Middle East
problems lies in "agreement be-
tween the parties" and not in an
arms race.
To Hussein, the department
said:
"Mr. Allen repeated that the
United States would be favorably-
inclined toward anything which
led toward peace in the area and
would view with grave disapproval
anything which might lead to hos-
tilities there."
Undersecretary of State Herbert
Hoover Jr., who talked with Eban,
reminded the Israeli diplomat that
the United States is still waiting
to hear how his country feels
about United Nations peace pro-
posals.
Neither Israel nor Egypt has
formally replied to a request Nov.
5 for a statement of intentions
toward proposals carried to the
troubled aMiddle East by Maj.
Gen. E. L. M. Burns, United Na-
tions truce chief.
The Burns proposals call for
withdrawal of Israeli and Egyp-
tian troops from the El Auja
demilitarized zone, freedom for UN
inspection teams to patrol the area
and meetings to try to draw a
permanent boundary line.

RABAT, Morocco 0P-Sultan
Sidi Mohammed Ben Youssef re-

two years exile and tens of thous-

He flew from an icy cold mili-

bright North African sun of Rabat.
His frenzied welcome was in dra-

being too nationalistic.

appeared evident. Collins was
elected on the seventh ballot col-
lecting a total of 1,349 votes.
Total vote for the two-day all
campus elections was 7,120 with
only 79 void ballots, an unusually
small number, according to SGC
President Hank Berliner, '56.
An increase over the 6,070 votes
registered last spring, the vote
also exceeded the 6,741 vote in
December.
Figuring on a 20,000 total Uni-
versity enrollment, 35.6% of the
students voted.
Elections director Tom Cleve
land, '57 said hewas pleased with
the total vote, attributing the in-
crease of 1,013 over last year to
the hard work of the elections
committee.
"Nine thousand is still the fig-
ure to aim for. If the weather had
been more in our favor, we might
have polled well over 8,000 votes,"
he said.

CHICAGO (P)-Adlai E. Steven-

strategy yesterday by announcing
he will enter the March 20 primary
in Minnesota.
Stevenson, who won the 1952
nomination without making an ac-

his mind about getting into other
primaries than that in Minnesota.
Judge, Gives
Ultimatum
o Scalpers
Cites Jail, Fines For
Over-Priced Tickets
Ticket-scalping enthusiasts were
given "fair warning" yesterday by
Municipal Court Judge Francis
O'Brien.
With this Saturday's Michigan-
Ohio State game a sellout, pres-
sure for tickets is increasing stead-
ily with some hopeful spectators
paying as much as $10 for tickets
issued free to students by the ath-
letic department.
Ticket scalping is defined as the
selling of admission tickets above
the price set bythe issuing agency.
Though no cases of scalping have
been reported to date by either
local or state police, Judge O'Brien
issued this stern warning:
"While each case will be de-
termined on its merits, in the past
penalties have included jail sen-
tences and fines. It is the policy
of this court to impose jail sen-
tences particularly in those cases
where there has been a previous
record of like offences, and where
circumstances indicate that an
effort has been made to collect a
large number of tickets for the
purpose of charging exhorbitant
prices."
Judge O'Brien said that the
'present ticket situation is rapidly
approaching that during the OSU
clash in 1953 when two scalpers
were sentenced to 60 days in jail
and a $75 fine by his court.
"I don"t went anyone to be
misled into expecting that he can
pay any fine out of the profits
that he makes by charging ir-
regular prices," the Judge admon-
ished. '

Small., Crowd Sees
Routine Vote Count
By BILL HANEY
It was difficult singling out anyone at SGC ballot-counting last
night who was just an interested spectator.
Almost everyone was either a University official, a campus leader
or a candidate-and at times not even all the candidates were present.
Poor turnout was attributed by some to cold weather, by others to
apathy. Assistant to the Dean of Men John Bingley noted there is
usually more interest in Spring "
elections.
Two write-in votes for Bennie Government
Oosterbaan and one for Juan
Peron indicated "interest" some
have in student government. TaS e

their posts.
Labor Minister Raul Migone told
the nation in a radio broadcast
of the move. He said the old CGT
system, which he accused of serv-
ing tyranny and not the workers,
had to be destroyed.
The CGT was organized by ex-
dictator Juan D. Peron and his late
wife, Eva, as the core of their
political strength. It claims about
six million members.
The marines that took over the
CGT headquarters met no resist-
ance.
The government's move came as
a surprise. Provisional President
Maj. Gen. Pedro Aramburu met
with his full Cabinet yesterday
for the first time since he ousted
Maj. Gen. Eduardo Lonardi on
Sunday but there was no an-
nouncement of any antistrike
measures.
PHYSICS PROFESSOR:
Uhlenbeck Named Russel Lecturer
Prof. George F. Uhlenbeck, of
the physics department was an-
nounced as this year's Henry Rus-
sel Lecturer at last night's meet-
ing of the Research Club.
Recommendation of the annual
lecturer is made by a Research
Club council in consultation with
former lecturers.
Prof. Uhlenbeck, who was elect-
ed to membership in the National
Academy of Science this year, will
fessor spent 1948-49 at the Insti-
tute for Advanced Studies, Prince-
ton, N. J.
Prof. Uhlenbeck was a visiting
lecturer at the Institute for Theo-
retical Physics at., Leiden last
spring.
He is the third physicist to be
honored in the 31-year history of
t lectureship. The other were
arrison M. Randall, former de-
partment chairman and now pro-
Political Science Department.
Professor Knappen, a member of
the regional Rhodes Scholarship
Council, has commented Michigan-
students are not able to stand up
under the hard-headed intellectual
questioning of the Rhodes Com-
mittee. He said the bulk of Rhodes
Scholarships are awarded to stu-
dents from eastern schools.
This degree of Ivy-League suc-
cess in procuring Rhodes Scholar-
ships, he attributed to smaller
classes at those schools.
