Settlement
DETROIT (AM)-A union spokes-
man said striking printers and
publishers of Detroit's three closed
dailies were so near agreement
last night that "one more meeting
ought to do it."
A settlement with the printers,
however, would not necessarily
mean an immediate resumption of.

typers also are on strike and con-
tracts with three other unions re-
main unsettled.-
A walkout of stereotypers Dec.
1 closed the morning Free Press
and the afternoon Times and
News.
Sessions Held
Printers and publishers held
r two long bargaining sessions yes-
terday, and Kennett Hull, presi-
dent of the striking printers, told
newsmen:
"We received an offer similar to
that made the stereotypers, but,
of course, that isn't enough.
"I think we have got the juris-
dictional question settled, but I'm
not sure."
Meet Today
The publishers meet at 10 a.m
today with the mailers, an affiliate
of the International Typographical
Union to which the printers be-
long. Woodruff Randolph, Inter-I
national President of the ITU, sat
in on today's negotiations and is
expected at tomorrow's sessions
with both the mailers and print-
ers.
Publishers have said repeatedly1
that a dispute over union juris-
diction involving the printers,
photo-engravers and the News-
paper Guild was proving a major
stumbling block in negotiations..
Printers have demanded that
contract language specifically give
them jurisdiction over any new
printing process that may be
adopted, including that using
photo typesetting. To meet their
demands completely would give
printers jurisdiction over artists
now represented by the guild
and photo-engravers, both separ-
ate unions with their own con-
tracts.

Michigan completely dominated
last night's contest before 2,130
fans until the third period when
the Spartans were finally able
to tally twice. The Wolverines had
jumped off to a 4-0 lead in the
first two periods.
Dunnigan Leads Scoring
Dick Dunnigan led Michigan's
scoring with a pair of goals. Tom
Rendall, Wally Maxwell, and cap-
tain Bill MacFarland each con-
tributed single scores. Spartan
goals were garnered by defense-
man Bob Jasson axed center Gene
Grazia,
Although Michigan was not
overly impressive in victory, it
still managed to outskate and out-
hustle the Spartans throughout
the game. Wolverine coach Vic
Heyliger credited goalie Ed Sch-
iller of Michigan State with pre-
venting the sluggish Spartans
from being "entirely routed." Sch-
iller had 26 saves for the evening.
Michigan scored first after a
sloppy start at 11:36 of the open-
ing period. After Schiller had
turned away a 20-foot smash from
MacFarland's stick, D u n n i g a n
grabbed the rebound and drove it
into the net.
Rendall Scores
Less than two minutes later,
Rendall converted a 25-foot solo
shot from the left side of the net
for the Wolverines' second goal.
The Spartan defense was com-
pletely outmaneuvered with no
one, except Schiller, between Ren-
dall and the goal.
The Wolverines controlled the
puck for the rest of the period and

Reparation
Of Russians
Charges for Plane
Shot Down in June
WASHINGTON W)-A $724,947
damage bill was presented to the
Soviet ambassador by the State
Department yesterday for the
shooting down of a United States
Navy patrol plane by Russian
fighters last June over the Ber-
ing Sea.
Total damages, including in-
juries to the 11 American crew-
men, were assessed at $1,449,895,
but the United States had agreed
to accept Russia's offer of half
paymentbecause, of "special cir-
cumstances" involved.
The plane, a two-engine Nep-
tune, was downed in flames June
22.
Crew Injured
All 11 crew members suffered
injuries ranging from bullet
wounds to burns and shock. Seven
required hospital treatment.
Russia and the United States
blamed each other for the inci-
dent. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles accepted Russia's
offer to pay half the damages
while "not condoning the illegality
of the Soviet conduct."
Preparations were under way at
the time for the July summit con-
ference of Big Four powers in
Geneva, and Sec. Dulles' accept-
ance of the Russian offer was
viewed as an effort to smooth the
path.
Weather Blamed
In making the Russian offer last
June 26, Soviet Foreign Minister
Vyacheslav Molotov cited heavy
cloud conditions which made vis-
ibility poor. He said this did not
"exclude the possibility of a mis-
take from one side or the other."
Molotov insisted the United
States plane was inside Soviet
territory and opened fire when
approached by Russian jet fighters.
He expressed regret at the inci-
dent.
The State Department denied
the American plane had violated
the Rtssian frontier, maintaining
it at no time was any closer to
Russia than midway over the Ber-
ing Sea channel which separates
Alaska from Russia. It crash-
landed on St. Lawrence Island.
Attack Unprovoked
In yesterday's note containing
the bill, the United States re-
peated its contention that the at-!
tack was unprovoked.
The United States note was de-
livered to Soviet Ambassador
Georgi Zarubin and made public
by the StateDepartment. n
A breakdown of damages in
round figures made available by
the State Department included:
cost of the Neptune plane $294,-
700; value of plane equipment de-
stroyed $95,645; cost of search and
rescue $3,000; costs to U.S. govern-
ment resulting from crewmen's
injuries and disabilities $335,674;
personal injuries to crew members
$90,000; loss of personal property
aboard the plane $875.
Press Officer Comments
State Department press officer
Lincoln White said he understood
the $90,000 for personal injuries
would be distributed among the
injured crewmen, but he said he
had no details.
Dulles' note requested that the
$724,947 be made payable in
United States dollars.

Ex-Treasury,
Man Cleared
Of Charges
WASHINGTON (A)--A special
loyalty board yesterday cleared
William Henry Taylor of disloyalty
charges which have hung over
him seven years.
Taylor, 48, was a Treasury ex-
pert in the Truman administration.
Hall Fairbanks, secretary of the
International Organizations Loy-
alty Board, announced that--on
the basis of new evidence-the
board has reversed a June 28 find-
ing that there was "reasonable
doubt" of Taylor's loyalty.
Taylor was among those accus-
ed by Elizabeth Bentley of being
members of a Communist espion-
age ring which operated inside the
government during World War II.
Miss Bentley, a professed ex-
Soviet agent, has told her story to
several, congressional committees
in appearances going back to 1948.
Taylor's attorney, Byron N.
Scott, told reporters the loyalty
board's new finding not only at-
tacks the reliability of Miss Bent-
ley but "throws strong suspicion"
on Atty.-Gen. Herbert Brown-
ell's testimony before the Senate
Internal Security sub-committee
in November 1953.

ed, Sen. Eastland and Sen. Jenner
issued a joint statement in which
they said the hearings "disclosed
many things. including a signifi-
cant effort on tW part of the
Communists to penetrate leading
American newspapers."
Testimony yesterday included:
1. There was a Red Cell on the
New York Herald Tribune in the
1940s.

2. Two witnesses who yesterday
invoked the Fifth Amendment
privilege against compulsory self-
incrimination were fired by The
New York Times after they mdi-
cated they would take this course.
Those who said they had lost
their jobs were Nathan Aleskovsky,
until recently assistant Book Re-
view editor of the Sunday Times,.
and Jack Shafer, a copyreader.
Sen. Eastland and Sen. Jenner,
said in their statement that the
subcommittee in its pursuit of the
trail of Communist activity "has
been fully cognizant in its study
to avoid any step which could
fairly be interpreted as an effort
to exercise congressional pressure
upon the American press."
Statement Adds
The statement added:
"At the same time we have been
seriously aware of our responsi-
bility not to flinch from uncov-
ering the activities of subversive
elements just because those ef-
forts involved attempted penetra-
tion of media for the dissemination
of information and the formation

SANTIAGO. Chile {i'} - Presi-

siege, cracked down swiftly yes-

in an effort to choke off a threat-
ened nationwide strike.
Flying squads of police arrested:
250 persons, many identified as
Communists or pro-Communist.
But last night Baudillo Casano-

erful Central Labor Union, de-
clared defiantly from a secret
hideout that the strike would be-
g'i as scheduled Monday and
would continue indefinitely.
Among those arrested was Clo-
tario Best, president of the union,
Communist and Popular Social
Party leaders, and other union of-
ficials.
Four army regiments and 500
navy troops were broiught into the
capital from the provinces to swell
Santiago's military strength to
30,000.
The strike was called to protest
the goverrnment's proposal to
freeze wages, prices and pensions
in an effort to curb Chile's soar-
ing inflation.
Labor union officials and gov-
ernment opposition groups con-
tended the proposal would cause
hunger throughout the nation.
The government replied that dras-

THIRD SESSION:
House Improvement Topic
Of Today's IHC Conference
By VERNON NAHRGANG
More than 100 student delegates and members of the administra-
tion are expected to attend today's Inter-House Council Conference
in the Union.
This is the third annual session of the conference which Uni-
versity President Harlan H. Hatcher last year termed an excellent
opportunity for students to talk with the administration about mutual
problems.
Today's conference, however, is not just a rehash of the past
years' meetings, IHC President Tom Bleha, '56, emphasized.
Conference Differs
Bleha said the difference this year is that the 'conference is based
on the house. The theme of today's meetings, "Let's Improve the

State Department efforts to speed
the release of 13 Americans still
in Chinese jails.
A government statement broad-
cast by Peiping radio said the Mao
Tze-tung regime would deal with
the Americans when and how it
saw fit and "no foreign interfer-
ence would be allowed."
Scorning Washington's charge
that Peiping has violated a Sept.
10 agreement to free all Americans
"expeditiously," the s t a t e m e n t
said:
Offenders Apprehended
I "Americans who o f f en de d
against the law in China must be
dealt with in accordance with
Chinese legal procedures, and no
time limit can be set for their
release.'
The toughly worded declaration
dampened hopes in London that
the Chinese Reds would smooth
the way to a Far East settlement
through prompt release of the re-
maining Americans in prison.
United States Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles has made it
plain that release of the Ameri-
cans must come before the United
States will enter into any agree-
ment with Red China on other
issues dividing the two countries.
Conference Sought
The Communist broadcast re
newed Peiping's demand for an
early conference between Dulles
and Red China Premier-Foreign
Minister Chou En-lal "to discuss
'relaxation and elimination of ten-
sion" in the Formosa area.
It called for a speedy end to the
Western embargo on shipment of
strategic goods to Red China.
The statement warned the
United States to move quickly to-
ward agreement on these issues or
face breakdown of the Geneva
negotiations between Red China's
Wang Ping-nat and United States
Ambassador U. Alexis Johnson.
The Geneva talks have been going
'on sporadically for five months;
and it was there that the Sept.
10 agreement on release of pris-
oners was announced.
Chinese Will Work
"The Chinese side will continue
to work for an agreement," yes-
terday's statement said. "ow-
ever, the Chinese people will not':
consent to the endless dragging
out ofthe Sino-American talks."
Yesterday's broadcast said Red
China already has released 27 of
the 40 Americans "who had co-
mitted offenses against the law"
and claimed this was done as fast
as possible. The statement added
that "a clear distinction" must be
made between the American "law-
breakers" and 'release of ordinary
American residents who were de-
tained.

made by Gov. G. Mennen Williams that the Eisenhower Administration
had done nothing for minority groups.
John Feikens, Republican state chairman, hit back at statements
made by Williams in a speech at Los Angeles, Calif. He accused Wil-
liams of "political blindness."
"Minority groups know that never since the days of Abraham
Lincoln has more been done to rid our nation of racial discrimination
than has been accomplished in the few years of President Dwight

Feikens said.
