SGC Votes To Recommend Change In Driving Regulationi Red Aircraft 'Formidable' Survey Says LONDON (P) - Russia will soon have a "formidable bomber strik- ing force" to challenge Western superiority in the air, an authori- tative aircraft survey said yester- day. The latest edition of "Jane's All the World's Aircraft" said a Red air display in Moscow last July ) has "done more than any previous one to shatter any remaining com- placency in responsible circles in the West." Factories Scattered Jane's said the newest Red war- planes are being produced in 360 factories scattered from the Polish border to the Far East. It mentioned especially the lat- est "Type 37" four-jet heavy bomb- er believed capable of carrying an atom bomb and "Type 39" medi- um twin-jet bomber. The Russians briefly unveiled formations of these in July, Jane's said, as well as an "even more, advanced" development of the MIG17 jet fighter, successor to the MIG15 used by the com- munists in Korea. It estimated the MIG17 maximum speed at 745 miles an hour. Production Capacity "The capacity for production on the large scale of medium and heavy jet bombers may not yet be so great as for fighters," the an- nual said. But "the Type 39 has been shown off publicly in a formation of 54, and though the production figures have probably reached nothing like those for the Ameri- can Boeing =B47, it is felt in the West that Russia will very shortly possess a formidable bomber strik- ing force." Jane's said ,the performance capabilities of Russia's new war- planes "are estimated to be com- mendably high." It estimated the Type 37 heavy bomber, the heavy bomber never has been a strong point in Russian aviation, had a maximum speed of 559 miles an hour, a range of 7,100 miles and a maximum bomb load of 19,845 pounds. Gordis Says U.S. Is Losing Cold War America is losing the battle with communism because of a failure to make its conclusions clear, Rob- ert Gordis, Rabbi of Temple Beth El, Rockaway Park, said in a lec- ture yesterday. Rabbi Gordis speech was the third in the current "This I Be- lieve" series sponsored by Student Religious Association and Campus Religious Council. Class stratification throughout the world forces many underprivi- leged people to choose between freedom and security. "The Ameri- can middle glass holds this country together and makes it possible for people to live comfortable, and still enjoy freedom," Rabbi Gordis t stated. Rabbi Gordis termed nationalism a basic cause of world strife. "It is a tragic paradox that as world boundaries get smaller, rampant Attlee, 73 years old next month, stepped down because of age and uncertain health after 20 years in the post, six of them as Prime Minister in crisis-ridden times af- ter World War II. The bespectacled, pipe-smoking Socialist retired only seven months after age also forced Sir Winston Churchill, his friend and rival for political dominance, into private lif e. Bevan Begins Canvassing Within minutes after Attlee an- nounced his retirement at a party caucus, leftist Bevan began open- ly canvassing for support in bal- loting which begins tomorrow to name a new leader. Most. politicians, however, said the odds favored victory for Hugh Gaitskell, 49 years old, a Socialist Propose 18 New UN Members 52 Nations Approve 'Package Deal' Plan UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (P) An overwhelming majority of the United Nations yesterday approved a proposal which would bring 18 new members into the UN under a package deal. By a vote of 52 in favor, 2 against and 5 abstentions, the 60- member UN Special Political Com- mittee called on the Security Council to consider favorably the applications of the 18 countries, including 5 Communist states. Two Oppose Plan Only Nationalist China and Cuba opposed the resolution, which will be submitted to a General Assem- bly session this morning. The United States, France, Belgium, Greece and Israel abstained. Sponsors , of the resolution, including Canada and 27 other nations, were delighted at the out- come.sThey said they would have been satisfied with a two-thirds majority, the margin required for final Assembly approval. The 11-nation Security Council will tackle the membership ques- tion probably early next week. Target Date Advanced The 28-nation resolution calls on the council to report on the 18 applications to the General As- sembly, which has now advanced its target date for adjournment to tomorrow. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., the United States delegate, told the committee his country would ab- stain both in the Special Political Committee on the 28-nation reso- lution and in the Security Council on the five Communist applicants -Outer Mongolia, Hungary, Ro- mania, Bulgaria and Albania. The Soviet Union has said it will veto the 13 non-Communist states if the Communist states fail to make the grade. The 13 are Ceylon, Cambodia, Japan, Laos, Libya, Nepal, Jordan, Italy, Portu- gal, Spain, Ireland, Austria and Finland. Reds Hold Two U.S. Soldiers BERLIN (')-East Berlin Com- munists reported yesterday arrests of two American soldiers embroiled in a street fight. But the East Berliners waived their newly claimed "sovereignty" by turning the men over to the Soviet military authorities. The Soviet sector radio and afternoon newspaper Berliner Zei- tung am Abend said the two sol- diers attacked a night club per- former outside a bar in East Berlin and beat him unconscious. They said the men tried to flee to the West in a taxi but the driver de- livered them to the Communist Peoples police. MEANY TO SPEAK: Labor NAM Clash nTalkPurpose NEW YORK ()-Libor chief George Meany said yesterday the National Assn. of Manufacturers has agreed to discuss his suggestion for a "live-and-let-live" labor-industry agreement. The NAM denied it had talked to Meany about it. The NAM said it had invited Meany, as head of the AFL-CIO to address its annual meeting tomorrow, but said no authorized NAM representatives had talked with Meany about anything else., Meany had outlined his suggestion in an article in the Sunday j New York Times. He told newsmen yesterday NAM representatives -e SeaMaster / New Curfew Plan Okayed By Senate By DONNA HANSON With only one dissenting cast, a new women's hours was passed yesterday by Women's Senate. The plan, which will go vote plan the into CLEMENT ATTLEE . now an earl intellectual, or Attlee's lieutenant, Herbert Morrison, 67 years old, a professional politician. Both are moderates. The consensus appeared to be that Gaitskell has the edge. The outcome, which may be known by next Wednesday, was seen as likely to determine whether Labor retains its present policy of intimate friendship with the Unit- ed States in foreign affairs or swings toward the independent line advocated by Bevan. A Bevanite victory would be sure to mean Labor demands for sweep- ing new nationalization schemes and government controls. Labor remains a strong chal- lenger to the government of Prime Minister Eden, and the victor in the present struggle for power in the party, could emerge as the country's next Prime Minister. Elections now are planned' for in 1959. Disheartened Disheartened after the Con- servatives dealt Labor a decisive defeat in the May national elec- tions, Attlee indicated several months ago that he planned to make way for younger leadership. Attlee went out of public life as modestly as he lived in it. He announced his retirement in dry, casual language. Laborites in the Commons com- mittee room rose and sang "For he's a jolly good fellow" as a fare- well tribute. Appears Moved The retiring leader appeared moved. As he stood on the plat- form, a small man in black jack- et and striped pants, tears welled in his eyes and his lips quivered. For an hour after the meeting, he locked himself in his private office and his secretary turned away callers. No Fire effect next semester, is based upon the 1955 spring survey which pro- vides for six late pers to be taken by women living in coops,, resi- dence halls, sororities and league houses. Six Late Permissions Provisions for this system in- clude six automatic late permis- sions per semester, regardless of class or academic standing. The late permissions are until 12 mid- night. Automatic late pers will be in effect Monday through Thurs- day with Sunday regarded as part of the week-end., House Directors will handle week-end late pers as under the present system and mid-week late- nesses and emergencies will be ia- ported to the House Director and handled by the House Judiciary Councils. w The late pers given for work- ing, babysitting, Daily and certain group permissions won't be taken out of the six. 15-for-One Penalty In this plan, University-spon- sored events can be attended with- out using one of the six automatic late pers. The penalty for late- ness will be 15 minutes for each late minute, as under the present system. Women must be signed out be- fore 10:30 p.m. and can't leave after this time. A woman who signs out for a late per and-doesn't return by 10:30 p.m., is considered to have used one entire late per. If she signs out for a late per and come in before 10:30 p.m., she is not charged for a late per. Women's Judiciary Council re- serve the power to take away auto- matic late permissions. 'Although the new system has been passed by the Senate, it will be on a trial basis. Early in May a second re-evaluation will be held of the entire late per system. "had talked to him and arranged for discussions on a "staff level." Obviously Surprised NAM spokesmen were obviously surprised by Meany's statement. NAM board Chairman Charles R. Sligh Jr., said Meany had been invited to tell the NAM meeting what labor expects of industry. Meany declined to comment on the apparent conflict. A spokesman for Sligh said the NAM could make no comment on the merits of Meany's idea for an over-all labor-management good- will agreement without taking it up with the rest of the NAM directors. Notling Specific in Mind MeanyL said he had nothing specific in mind as to what should be contained in any labor-manage- ment pact, but said there certainly should be room for some kind of agreement. "Continuing to snipe at each other is a bit archaic," he said. The AFL-CIO convention, mean- while, heard Marion B. Folsom, Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, declare that the Eisenhower ad- ministration would send to Con- gress a. program "to help build thousands of schools" across the nation. IUD Organized Following yesterday's conven- tion sessions, the Industrial Union Department of the AFL-CIO was organized with 31 former CIO unions plus 35 former AFL unions. Walter Reuther and James Ca- rey, president and secretary treas- urer of the former CIO, respective- ly, were elected to similar IUD posts. Folsom disclosed the Republican school building plans in a speech before the AFL-CIO 1,400 dele- gates. Blows Up In Mid-Air Four Crewmen Killed In Crash WASHINGTON (AP)-The Navy's new SeaMaster, a huge jet sea- plane with a speed of 600 miles an hour, exploded in flight yes- terday and fell in shattered pieces into Chesapeake Bay. Three employes of the Glenn L. Martin Co. of Baltimore, the plane's builder, and a naval officer were aboard when the four-engine craft broke up on a test 'flight. One body, attached to a para- chute, was recovered but had not been identified. Sections of the seaplane sank in from 50 to 60 feet of water at the mouth of the Potomac River in the lower reaches of the bay. Also lost were the complete navigation- al, bombing and communications installations plapned for the new air giant, whose tail assembly was three stories high. Trails Black Smoke Eyewitnesses said the SeaMaster was trailing heavy black smoke a few moments before it exploded "right in the middle." t appeared. to break into several pieces, and one parachute was seen to open. There was another blast reported as the nose hit the water. "If anybody lived through that it would be a miracle," reported Eng. 3.C. Tommy Petty, aboard a Coast Guard boat searching for survivors and pieces of the wreck- age. 'Hottest Seaplane' The SeaMaster, the hottest sea- plane ever to come off the drawing boards, made its first flight July 14, powered by four Allison J71 jet engines with afterburners for extra power on takeoff. _ One eyewitness of the accident, D. H. Buus, air controller man in the tower at Webster Field, north of Point Lookout, Md., said he saw smoke and a "big explo- sion." He estimated the altitude of the seaplane at about 5,000 feet. Another eyewitness aboard a fish- ing vessel said he saw one body thrown clear and a parachute open. minimum limit of 21 years. The existing categories of health, commuter, business and others de- termined at the discretion of the Office of Student Affairs would be retained under the SGC-accepted plan. The plan also calls for more strict enforcement of driving regu- lations than at present. Viola- tions of the eligibility requirement' and other rules would carry first offense penalties of up tor$50in fines, with suspension from school as a liable penalty for additional offenses. On a motion by Joel Tauber, '58 BAd, the Council accepted the first part of the recommendations of the study group which drafted its final report yesterday afternoon. Ten Weeks of Research The report submitted culminated more than ten school weeks of re- search and discussion by the com- mittee which was chaired by As- sistant Dean of Men Karl D. Streiff. Passed unanimously by the Council, Tauber's motion stated: "The Student Government Coun- cil recommends to the Board of Regents that it act favorably on the recommendation of the Auto Study Committee that Regents By-law, Sec. 8.05, be changed to read as follows: "No student under 21 years of age while in attendance at the University may operate a . motor vehicle except under regulations as set forth by the Office of Stu- dent Affairs., Any other student may be per- mitted to operate a motor vehicle which has been registeredrwiththe Office of Student Affairs. Any student violating these regulations shall be liable to disciplinary ac- tion by the proper University au- thorities." It was on the question of more severe disciplinary action and oth- er administrative details that most discussion took place. Streiff Questioned Questioned by Panhellenic Presi- dent Debbie Townsend, '56, on the "severity of the punishments which would be meted out," Streiff replied that there should be "no need for a person to have a second violation." Dean of Men Walter B. Rea commented that "unless this se- verity exists, any regulations will not carry the proper respect. If you really mean what you say in the plan, then you should recog- nize that its effectiveness will be only as good as its enforcement." Pointing out that the second part of the committee's report omitted such considerations as what the proper disciplinary agen- cy should be, the amount of any driving registration fee, and pro- visions for parking, Inter House Council President Tom Bleha, '56, said that the Regents would prob- ably question administration of certain areas in the proposal. Streiff replied that the Regents are primarily concerned with policy as set forth in the by-laws. "Mat- ters of administration of the plan, should it be passed, will be in the hands of the Office of Student Affairs." The motion to recommend by- law change was passed with a News Strike Mediators 'Optimistic DETROIT (A) - Another at- tempt to settle Detroit's week-old newspaper strike was made to- night, and a cautious note of opti- mism was injected into the pic- ture. Federal and state mediators called representatives of the three metropolitan dailies-News, Times and Free Press - and the AFL Stereotypers Union to a night ses- sion. The guarded optimism came from GCeorge Bowles, Chairman of the State Labor Mediation Board. He said the management and union "appear to be in a position to make some real progress." Sources close to the negotiator " said the stereotypers had "modi- fied" their demand for, extra pay or extr, help to handle advance copy - that prepared for future editions. The Detroit Newspaper Publish- ers Assn. has said that work ebn advance copy and color plates are the only major issues in the dis- pute. The union has said that other matters remain to be worked out. Robert C. Butz, Executive Secre- tary of the Association, called the union proposal a "highly unrealis- tic approach to settlement of the dispute." "It failed to offer any solution other than a minor revision which does not remove the extreme eco- nomic penalty imposed by the ori- ginal union proposal," Butz added. To Highlight Conference Representatives of student or- ganizations and housing groups, the administration and the fac- ulty will confer tomorrow In the Union General theme of the conference will be problems arising from in- creasing enrollment. All conferees will meet for a half-hour session at 2 p.m. They will then divide into four discus- sion groups to consider particular problem areas.

Employment set a record for November of 64,807,000 despite the usual cold weather drop from October, the Commerce and Labor De- partments said. Factory jobs took an unseasonal jump to a postwar peak. Unemployment rose to 2,398,000 as a million workers dropped out of agriculture. But new hiring by manufacturers, r e t a i l e r s and wholesalers offset two-thirds of - Tthe loss in farming. A second report, from the Com- merce Department, disclosed that the personal income of Americans climbed to an annual rate of 3091/2 billion dollars in October. This was more than 1% billions higher than in September, a bil- lion-dollar gain in wages and salaries, because of rising pay scales and higher employment, plus a half-billion-dollar rise in interest, dividends and the income of business proprietors. Still a third report indicated that industry's spending for new plant and equipment, outlays which make possible greater pro- duction and employment, will con- tinue to rise through the first 7 777 : hrp mnnhs f 195£_ :'. ~w *
