Bingley Cites Research Program
As Preparation For Group Study
Indications are that the new approach toward solving old prob-
lems, as generated by the recent driving ban study committee, is
now being applied to the problem of outmoded University rules and
.~regulations.
r'.Stressing the need for careful research in order to acquaint Stu-
dent Conduct Study Committee members with the problems con-
fronting them, Assistant Dean of Men John Bingley, Committee
chairman, outlined activity to date at last night's Student Government
Council meeting in the Union.
In order to obtain "as competent a final report as possible," Bingley

Minister Jawharal Nehru to keep Bombay apart from the surrounding
states and their language differences.

SBX to Take
SIn Used Books
At Registration
Student Book Exchange will in-
augurate used textbook collections
during registration, Exchange
manager Bill Diamond, '56E, an-
nounced yesterday.
Books taken to registration
should have the owner's name and
asking price written in them. Ex-
change agents will issue receipts.
t Books may also be taken to the
Exchange itself, which is being
housed this year in the second
floor of the Union addition, or
turned in to representatives in
housing units.
E<The Exchange aims at providing
used books at low cost, Diamond
explained. Low overhead allows
the Exchange to charge only 10%
for its role in selling the books.
f Student set their own prices for
the texts they sell. Checks are
given out at the end for those
books sold, with the 10% off to
cover costs.
These include operating costs,
forms and signs, posters, advertis-
ing, auditing of the accounts by
the Office of Student Affairs, and
allowances for theft of books.
The student manager and as-
sistant managers are paid a nomi-
nal amount for their services,
Diamond said, averaging about 5
cents an hour.

rent judicial structure.
To Discuss Next Semester
Stating that active committee
discussion of the rules and regu-
lations problem would commence
early in the coming semester,
Bingley commented that like the
Laing Committee which proposed
the establishment of SGC and like
the driving ban study committee,
"this committee also realizes the
advantages of mutual solution to
mutual problems connected with
increased enrollment."
Other committee members are
Prof. Wirt Blume of the Law
School, Prof. Axel Marin of the
engineering college, Dean Earl
Moore of the music school, Prof.
Helen Peak of the psychology de-
partment, James Robertson, as-
sistant dean of the literary col-
lege, Georgina Davidson, '56Ed,
Tawfiq Khoury, Grad., Edith M-
Cluskey,56 Ed, and John Surbis,
'56E.
Last night's Council meeting also
saw passed motions that SOC
members be allowed expense ac-
counts for operating their offices
and that the coming semester's
student - faculty - administration
conference be co-sponsored by the
Council and the Union.
Motion Recognizes Actuality
SW Vice-President Joel Tau-
er, '57, explained the expense ac-
count motion as "recognition of
a concept that already exists, that
s t u d e n t government members
should not have to pay office-in-
curred expenses out of their own
pockets."
Union President Todd Leif, '56,
said that a co-sponsored confer-
ence would make for an easy tran-
sition period of sponsorship from
the Union, which established the
conference two-and-a-half years
ago, if SGC should assume com-
plete responsibility for administra-
tion of the semi-annual meeting.
A motion requiring that all SGC
candidates have at least six weeks
experience on the Administrative
Wing prior to election was tabled
and referred back to the Public
Relations Committee for further
study.
The Council also passed on five
Cinema Guild Board appoint-
ments: Gary See, '57 BAd, treas-

Ineligibility
Faces Two
Ice Stars
By DAVE GREY
Two star Michigan hockey play-
ers-forward Wally Maxwell and
defenseman Mike Buchanan-have
been temporarily suspended from
competition by the University
pending investigation of eligibili-
ty charges.
One thing is certain at this
time: neither Maxwell, the team's
top goal-scorer, or the rugged Bu-
chanan will be in action against
Michigan State in the series this
weekend. Only time will tell their
future in collegiate hockey.
Expense Money Given
Charges were announced yester-
day that both players received ex-
pense money while trying out with
amateur farm teams of two pro-
fessional hockey clubs.
Maxwell was given a three-day
tryout, while still in high school,
with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Buchanan was given the same kind
of arrangement in the Chicago
Black Hawks and the St. Louis
,Flyers' chain.
Under Canadian rules the issu-
ance of expense money doessnot
mean loss of amateur standing.
Under the tightening Big Ten and
NCAA regulations, however, such
a set-up could be considered a
violation.
Source of the charge was not
disclosed by the Big Ten commis-

and midnight yesterday.
The last previous official count
earlier yesterday had given the
total dead as 10 since Monday in
all Bombay State.
The federal government in New
Delhi said it was helpless unless
Bombay authorities asked army in-
tervention to stop the rioting.
Police had got new curfew or-
ders yesterday to shoot down dis-
turbers on sight.
Then the biggest concerted at-
tack on police came last night.
Police Battle
Several hundred Marathi-speak-
ing Indians, whose community rep-
resents about half , of Bombay's
three million people, engaged in
battle with police in the Sewri slum
area.
Gangs of demonstrators violated
the new curfe wsimultaneously in
six places at 10 p.m. Police re-
ported they fired at each disturb-
ance.
Government sources said that
outside the shooting area 250 oth-
er persons were injured Wednes-
day by acid bombs, stonings and
arson fires.
Rail communication between
Bombay and central and southern
India was paralyzed by sabotage
between Bombay and Poona,
Elsewhere mobs placed boulders
on the tracks and broke overhead
power lines. They tried one at-
tack on the Chola powerhouse that
supplies railway electric current.
Firemen and police had been on
emergency duty 72 hours straight.
At one point six police were
wounded by a homemade bomb
thrown among them. This was in
addition to dozens of firemen, po-
lice and home guards wounded in
mob violence.
The chief minister of Bombay
State, Morarji Desai, was reported
en route to New Delhi to confer
with Nehru.
Official sources in the capital
said Nehru would make no deci-
sion until he confers with Desai.
He personally represents the big

'Better Keep'
Extra Stocks
Patton Says
WASHINGTON () - Senator
Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn) and
president James G. Patton of the
National Farmers Union suggested
yesterday it might be a good idea
to hold on to the government's
stocks of surplus farm products.
Patton testified before the Sen-
ate Agriculture Committee, of
which Humphrey is a member, in
its consideration of new farm leg-
islation.
They agreed that the sur-
pluses in government hands-now
amounting to about eight billion
dollars worth-might be used as
a civil defense reserve in case of
war.
"If we have been on the verge
of war three times recently" Pat-
ton said, "we'd better keep these
reserves."
His remark was based on state-
ments of Secretary of States Dulles

'CADILLAC BOYS':
Rep. Thompson Reveals
Air Base Bribe Attempt
WASHINGTON (P-Rep. Ruth Thompson (R-Mich) said yester-
day she was offered a $1,000 campaign contribution to support the
bid of Cadillac, Mich., for a jet base.
Thus, Miss Thompson brought out in the open a, story which had
been rumored last year after she testified in a closed-door session
before the House Appropriations Committee.

Subsequently, the Air Force picked a rival site in Kalkaska

WASHINGTON (M-The Navy
told Congress yesterday it must
push the building of big carriers
and nuclear ships "to insure our
survival" because Russia is now
second only to the United States as
a naval power.
Admiral Arleigh A. Burke,. chief
of naval operations, said the Sov-

marines and even 18 months from
now the U.S. undersea fleet will

district.
Cadillac is in her district.
Miss Thompson gave her version
of the alleged "bribe" in an open
letter to members of the Wexford!
County Jet Air Base Committee.
She said that during last year's
long controversy over a site for
the base, she was approached in
Washington "by a man who ap-
parently has assumed the role of
intermediary between some people
in Cadillac and myself.
Offer $1,000
"I now state that he told me
bluntly that I 'must support the
air base in Cadillac' and then
added 'the Cadillac boys are go-
ing to give you a thousand dollars
for your campaign.'"
Miss Thompson said she "re-
jected the proposal with all the
vehemence at my command, much
as I wanted to see the base in the
9th district."
Her statement continued:
"Never at any time have I known
the number of persons who sought
to bribe me. Never, at any time,
have they been identified to me
by their names.
"Never have I told anyone that
I knew the number or the names
of the would-be bribers. They
were mentioned as living in Cadil-
lac by the person who proposed the
bribe."

StlRaging,
Over Dulles
WASHINGTON (P)-Foreign and
domestic controversy over Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles'
"brink of war" statements swirled
on without letup yesterday but
Senator Alexander Wiley (R-Wis)
predicted it "will blow over soon."
The uproar showed no immediate
signs of fading, however, with
these new developments:
Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-
Minn) told the Senate that the,
now-famous Dulles interview in
Life magazine has delivered the
United States "into the hands of
the Soviet propaganda machine."
This was the article in which
Dulles was quoted as saying
"ability to get to the verge of war
without getting into the war is
the necessary art."
Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH) re-
plied to criticism of Dulles by
Democrat Adlai Stevenson, saying:
"Rather than being criticized for
'brink of war' policies, the secre-
tary should be commended that
his policy is to keep us out of
war."
Blames U.S.
For Defense
Of Formosa
Hope Still Seen
For Negotiations
GENEVA ()-A Red China en-
voy charged yesterday that pos-
sible agreement with the United
States to renounce use of force
had been blocked by U.S. insistence
on defending Formosa.
U.S. Ambassador U. Alexis John-
son declared a 2,500-word state-
ment by Special Ambassador
Wang-Pingnan reflected "to some
extent" the progress made here in
24 weeks of secret negotiations.
But Johnson stated that by om-
missions and misinterpretation
Wang "distorts and perverts the
facts."
Secrecy Broken
Wang's statement broke the of-
ficial secrecy on the negotiations
and summarized the Chinese ver-
sion of the exchanges with John-
son.
Johnson said he was disappoint-
ed that the Chinese Communists
"have, again chosen to resort to
propaganda regarding the talks
between Ambassador Wang and
myself.
"At the beginning of our talks
we agreed that progress would
best be achieved by promptly an-
nouncing our agreements and re-
franing from publicly airing our
disagreements."
ReflectsProgress
Johnson said Wang's statement
"to some extent reflects the pro-
gress that it has thus far been
possible to make In seeking a_
commitment by the Chinese Com-
munists to renounce the use of
force to achieve objectives.
"However, by partial quotation
and misinterpretation the state-
ment distorts and perverts facts
with regard to our discussions on-
cerning the exact wording of such
a commitment.
"The statement also attempts to
gloss over the stark failure of the
Chinese Communists to fully carry
out their commitment of Dec. 10
expeditiously to release all Ameri-
cans on, the mainland of Chia
desiring to return."
Submitted Proposal
Wang said that last Oct. 27 he
submitted the draft of a proposal
committing both Peiping and the
UnitedStates to peaceful means
of settling issues between them--
an the condition that U.S. Secre-
tary of State Dulles meet with
Premier Chou En-lai.
Johnson countered, the state-
ment continued, with a draft by
which both sides would commit
themselves to renounce use of
force - except in individual and
collective self-defense-"mn general
and with particular reference to
the Taiwan Formosa area."
Occupy Taiwan
This meant, said Wang, that
Red China would have to accept
"the U.S. occupation of China's
territory, Taiwan" and was there-
fore absolutely unacceptable.
It) was not clear whether the
United States ever specifically ac-
cepted or rejected the Chinese
condition that Dulles hand Chou
meet. The Peiping government has
long pressed for a top-level con-
ference to settle Far Eastern is-
sues and resolve the tension aris-
ing from its claim to Formosa.
But Washington has rebuffed this
idea on the ground such a meet-
ing would amount to recognition
of the Peiping regime.

NEW YORK-Trading was brisk yesterday in the new Ford Motor
shares, with quotations ranging from a top of $70 a share to a low of
$67.87.
The 10,200,000 shares were sold at $64.50 each, so everyone who
bought on the offering had a profit.
The shares traded briefly Tuesday following clearance of the
issue by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Yesterday morning
they were quoted at $70 bid, $70.25 asked, but drifted down to $67.87
bid, reportedly because of selling in London and Amsterdam.
