*Guild Wants
Newspaper
Unions Pact
Agreement Could
S Delay Publication
DETROIT (A') - The AFL-CIO
Newspaper Guild of Detroit today
called for an agreement with other
* unions affected by Detroit's 9-day-
old newspaper strike under which
no union employes would go back
to work until all union contracts
are settled.
Guild leaders conceded that
such a pact could delay a resump-
tion of publication of Detroit's
three regular daily newspapers for
some time. The development came
after federal and state mediators
had .reported "great progress" to-
ward a settlement of a stereotyp-
ers' strike that shut down the
newspapers.,
The guild, at a general mem-
bership meeting, also voted to seek
agreement from the other unions
that any return to work be con-
ditional on full back pay for all
union employees laid off since the
strike began Dec. 1.
Guild Represents Many
The guild represents 800 edi-
torial, business and circulation
employes at the Detroit Times and
Detroit Free Press and mainten-
ance workers at the Detroit News.
Detroit News editorial aid busi-
ness office employes are not or-
ganized. They are working dur-
ing the strike.
The 116 stereotypers walked out
at all three newspaper plants
Members of other newspaper craft
unions refused to cross the stereo-
typers' picket lines. So did some
guild members at the start of the
strike.
Contracts of all six newspaper
craft unions involved have expired.
So has a contract covering AFL-
CIO Teamsters Union members
who drive newspaper delivery
trucks. The guild's contract with
The Free Press has expired.
Guild Confers
Guild leaders said they already
have been in conference with heads
of the other unions about back-
to-work conditions. A guild of-
ficial called it a "blood pact' in
describing the union's proposal.
The stereotypers' new contract
demands have included provision
of extra help or overtime pay in
handling copy for advance issues
of the newspapers and for hand-
ling color plates.
The stereotypers' straight time
day pay is $3.08 an hour.
Another guild action today pro-
vided union defense fund benefits
to "needy" members and their
families. The payments, starting
Monday, call for $10 for each per-
son in the member's family, up to
a maximum of $55 a week, or 90
per cent of a member's weekly
salary, whichever is less.
GM Leader
Resists Senate
Suggestions
" WASHINGTON (AP)-The Gen-
eral Motors Corp. yesterday re-
sisted suggestions by Senate in-
vestigators that it has grown so
big and powerful it might need
dismembering.
The suggestions were posed in
question form as the Senate Anti-
monopoly subconittee wound up
the present phase of its investi-
gation of GM, the world's largest
industrial corporation.
The questions were fired by
Chairman John C., O'Mahoney
(D-Wyo.) and James W. Burns,
his chief counsel, at GM's presi-
dent, Harlow H. Curtice.
Size Necessary?
"Why," Burns demanded, "is it
necessary for General Motors to bex
as large as it is?"
"It is necessary," Curtice re-
plied. He said GM "has grown
from within" by pioneering in<
some fields, by making technicall
contributions in others, and be-
cause it has been efficient.E
"Does'it have to be large to be<
efficient?" he paraphrased one oft
Burns' questions. "I don't thinkt
size has anything to do with it."
Sen. O'Mahoney ordered a group
of Chicago automobile dealers andx
others subpoenaed to clear up con-t
flicts in testimony in his investi-2
gation. He acted at the requestt
of GM officials.9

GRAND FORKS, N.D.-An important 5-1 win here over North

the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League scramble.
With only one game under their belts before last night, the
Wolverines outclassed completely a previously unbeaten North Dakota
squad. The two teams will meet here again tonight for the last time
this season in the second meeting of the two-point-per-game series.
There was little doubt that the Maize and Blue were vastly im-

Prevent Veto
- Efimenco
By MARY ANN THOMAS
Possibility of Nationalist China
abstaining from voting on an 18
n a t i o n package proposal for
United Nations' membership was
seen as "good" yesterday by Prof.
N. Marbury Efimenco of the polit-
ical science department.
"If the United States puts
proper pressure on Nationalist
China, the Chinese delegate Dr.
T. F. Tsiang will abstain again
next week," he explained.
In an attempt to break a long-
existing membership deadlock, the
General Assembly Thursday over-
whelmingly approved simultaneous
admission of 18 new countries, five
of which are Comunist block na-
tions. But Nationalist China has
threatened to veto the package
deal in the Security Council.
Objects to Outer Mongolia
China objects strongly to ad-
mission of Outer Mongolia, one of
the five Communist states, Prof.
Henry L. Bretton of the political
science dpartment presented two
possible reasons for China's stand:
"Admission of Outer Mongolia
might in a sense admit the legit-
imacy of Red China," he said.
"Nationalist China wants to hold
on to the fiction that the Con-
nunists have no jurisdiction over
China and that Mongolia was
conquered by Russia."
Second reason for Nationalist
China's stand on the admission of
Outer Mongolia is that they "do
not wish to give Red China the
prestige" that such action .might
bring he said.
Problem of Ultimatum
"Basically, the question involved
is whether the United States can
issue an ultimatum to make Na-
tionalist China abstain," Prof.
Efimenco said. "It has been
rumored that if China vetoes the7
deal, the next session of the Gen-
eral Assembly will give that coun-
try's seat to Red China."
Prof. Bretton agreed that the
United States is in a position to
bring pressure to bear on Nation-
alist China, but he does not be-
lieve that possible seating of Red
China will be used as a political
weapon.
He believes that Nationalist
China could be voted out of cer-
tain committees and positions of
prestige in the UN, rather than bek
expelled from the organization
entirely.r
'Dificult To Predict'
Under the circumstances, Prof.t
Bretton finds it difficult to pre-t
dict what Nationalist China will
do.
Commenting on the Unitede
States' stand on the issue, he said,t
"we should not have any difficulty
in voting for admission of Outer
Mongolia because we will merelyc
be following a precedent."f

Next Month:
Knowland
NEW YORK (P)-Sen. William
F. Knowland (R-Calif.) said yes-
terday he believes P r e s i d e n t
Dwight D. Eisenhower will disclose
by the middle of next month
whether he will run for reelection
This would advance the date of
the President's announcement by
six or seven weeks over previous
indications.
Republican National Chairman
Leonard W. Hall has held there
was no need for the President to
speak out before late February or
early March.
Knowland Refuses Information
Sen. Knowland refused to tell
a news conference whether he
himself will seek the GOP presi-
dential nomination until President
Eisenhower "has the opportunity
to make a decision which I believe
will be made during the month of
January."
He recalled, he had said after
his meeting with the President
that the Eisenhower decision
should be made clear "in mid-
January" before the end of filings
for state primaries.
In referring to his talk with the
President, Sen. Knowland said:
"I wouldn't want to mislead you
by saying that the question of
1956 didn't enter the discussion."
Dinner Address
Sen. Knowland made his predic-
tion prior to addressing a dinner
of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
He said in his speech the United
States has retreated from principle
in "acquiescing" to the United
Nations "package deal" to admit
five Communist satellites to mem-
bership in return for admission of
13 "free world" countries.
He also told the association
times were too, serious to permit
"waltzing around" on fundamental
issues by presidential candidates.
Candidacy Rumored
Sep. Knowland was reported
Thursday as intending to an-
nounce his own candidacy for the
Republican nomination u n 1 e s s
President Eisenhower made clear
by Feb. 1 that he would seek a
second term.
These reports said Knowland
was ready to support President
Eisenhower in a bid for reelection.

Yesterday's Student-Faculty-Administration conference at the

commented in closing the meeting.
General theme .of the conference was problems of the University

Development of North Campus was a theme stressed in the
discussion on physical facilities. Assistant Dean of Men Peter A.

DOBRIANSKY:
'Interchangeability" of Russia
Is Common American Myth
By DIANE LaBAKAS
The most common and basic American myth of Russia is its
interchangeability of the terms Soviet Union and Russia, Professor Lev
Dobriansky said last night at a lecture in the Rackham Building.
Dobriansky, a member of the Georgetown University economics
department, spoke on "Several Outstanding American Myths on
Russia."
"The significance of the interchangeability of this myth is one
of sheer scientific accuracy," Prof. Dobriansky stated. "There are 16
republics in the Soviet Union and
one is Russia," he asserted. "The CALENDAR CHANGE:
others are national units."
Problems of the Ukraine and #i
other Soviet countries can not be
properly evaluated if they are O rie nai e

sia, Prof. Dobriansky declared. He By TOM BLUES

Colleges To Be Moved
Present plans call for moving the
music, architecture and design
and engineering colleges to the
North Campus. Dormitoryshousing
and a fraternity-sorority row may
also be built there, according to
administration representatives.
Hourly bus transportation to the
campus is now being provided free
to University students, and it is
considered adequate for the pres-
ent.
-The present ratio of students to
faculty members is 14 to one, it
was brought out at the discussion
on admissions. This compares with
a 13.5 to one ratio last year.
Present Ratio Good
Administration officials said
they considered the present ratio
good, but as high as the University
should allow it to go.
A movement to standardize ad-
missions tests throughout' the
country was described.
Conferees also mentioned that
there has been no proven correla-
tion between class size and schol-
astic achievement.
"Whole Man" Emphasized
Emphasis at the discussion on
extra-curricular activities was on
the "whole man."
Prof. Shorey Peterson of the
economicshdepartment expressed
the view that many students could
afford to disperse their interests.
He added that the "whole man"
is the product of a complex of
specific institutions.
A University, he continued, is
a specialized agency, and as such
makes special academic contribu-
tion which should not be ignored
in attempting to develop "well-
roundedness."
Social Pressures Mentioned
Students mentioned social pres-
sures from housing units as ' a
majority, if not a healthy, factor
in inducing someone to get in
and stay in an activity.
At the discussion on the aca-
demic and social counseling sys-
tems interest was generated over
a suggestion that upperclassmen
be allowed to fill out their own
election cards, subject only to a
counselor's approval.
The suggested system was prais-
ed as freeing time the counselor
Work Begins
On Antarctic
Laboratory
LYTTELTON, New Zealand VP)
-The vanguard of the U.S. Antar-
tica expedition sailed away from
civilization yesterday, heading to-
ward the bottom of the earth to
begin building the world's coldest,
remotest laboratory.
First to pull away from New
Zealand will be the Glacier, the
newest and toughest icebreaker
the U.S. Navy has. The expedi-
tion's six other ships are expected
to leave within a week or 10 days.
Sometime later, eight N a v y
planes will take off on an unprece-
dented flight of 2;200 stormy, haz-
ardous miles from New Zealand to
Antarctica.
This is the muscle phase of
"Operation Deep Freeze." These
are the men who will mark the
trails past treacherous crevasses
and through towering mountain
passes; scout icy, forbidding areas-
and build the facilities scientists
will use next fall as part of the
observance of International Geo-
physical Year.
The Glacier's first stop will be
at McMurdo Sound in the frozen
Ross Sea, where Navy air officers
immediately will scout the area
for a landing site for planes flying
from New Zealand.
The first three-month phase of
the operation has the principal
mission of building bases at Little
America and McMurdo Sound and
picking a site for additional bases
in Byrd Land and at that magical
point in geography known as the
South Pole.
Rear Adm. Richard :. Byrd,
officers in charge of U.S. Antarc-
tica programs who is aboard the
Glacier, makes no secret of the
fact he would like to land at the
Pole.
