Dulles Optimistic
About Suez Gains
Middle East War Threats Recede
As Canal Users Association Meets
WASHINGTON ()-Secretary of State John F. Dulles returned
from London yesterday to report to President Dwight D. Eisenhower
that "solid gains" have been made toward a peaceful solution of the
Suez Canal crisis.
United States officials said chances of Middle East war had
receded as a result of agreements reached at an 18-nation meeting
in London last week to set,,up a Suez Canal Users Association.
Dulles said members of the new group are in favor of referring
the dispute to the United Nations.
In a statement on arriving at National Airport, Dulles said the

Big Three Squeeze Affect

CAIRO, Egypt (M)-The western
economic squeeze is forcing Pres-
ident Gamal Nasser into a tight
corner within- two months of his
seizure of the Suez Canal.
The government is putting up
its economic storm shutters.
The full impact of United States,
British and French restrictions on
Egyptian foreign assets with which
the country buys most of its im-
ports is still to come.
But already businessmen are
flinching at the prospect of full
economic sanctions should the dis-
pute over the waterway drag on in-
definitely. Nasser's action came so
suddenly they had no chance to
build up stocks.
Nasser Breaking Even
Economic observers say that far
from filling his treasury coffers
with foreign exchange for canal
tolls as he expected, Nasser prob-
ably is just about breaking even
on the operation.
Egypt has confirmed it is receiv-
ing only about 40 per cent of the
canal tolls, the rest being paid into
blocked accounts in Paris and
London.,
This is the picture, according to

LONDON WP)-British diplomacy
was urged yesterday to turn a
blind eye to formality and get rid
of the case of Nina Ponomareva
and the five hats.
At stake was around $182,000 in
cash as well as a threat to Soviet-
British relations.
There were signs in Moscow that
if the British resolve the simmer-
ing crisis over Nina, relations on
the cultural level would again be
hunky-dory.
Nina is the Russian discus
thrower who was accused last
month of shoplifting five hats
from a London store. The millinery
was valued at less than $5.
The store has dropped the
charges but an arrest warrant was
issued for Nina when she failed
to show up in court.
She is believed to be in resi-
dence in the Soviet Embassy.
London newspapers were almost
unanimous yesterday in demand-
ing that the government devise
some clever even though irregular
scheme to get Nina out of the
country before additional damage
is done to Soviet-British relations.
Advised the Socialist' Daily
Herald:
"We say that if British bureauc-
racy cannot find a way to lose
the troubles of Nina, it should
climb Nelson's column and inspect
his blind eye."

say this is a slim margin for a

Soviet bloc, and to open nev

Final Figure
Falls Short
Of Estimate
35,000 To Receive
Organized Instruction
By JAMES ELSMAN, JR. and
THOMAS BLUES
Official residence-credit enroll-
ment at the University this fall
has swelled to 22,000, an all-time
high.
The 22,000 figure, revealed yes-
terday by Director of Registration
and Records Edward G. Groes-
beck, exceeds last fall's student
enrollment by 1,346. It also fals
300 short of the administration's
estimate.
Total enrollment,; in c r e d I t
courses at the University this se-
mester amounts to 25,473, with 173
students receiving credit. at the
Flint College and an additional
3,300 enrolled in credit courses at
University centers throughout the
state.
35,000 Taught.
Another 9,000 persons will re-
ceive instruction in certificate
courses at instructional centers
in the state, according to Robert
L. Williams, assistant dean of
faculties.
This means that nearly 35,000
individuals receive organized in-
struction from the University.
"A complete breakdown of the
enrollment figure will be ready
Monday," Groesbeck noted. He
said this breakdown would In-
clude a men-women ratio, indi-
vidual school increases, and class
totals.
Enrollment has vaulted upward
yearly since 1951 and administra-
tors see no cessation of this trend
in the future.
In fact, plans are now being
made to absorb an expected 24,-.
266 next fall, 28,660 in 1960 and a
colossal 40,827 in 1970, Williams
disclosed.
More Graduates
Arthur L. Brandon, director of
University relations, explained the
rocketing enrollments. "There are
more high school graduates," he
said. "More of them can afford to
go to college and are doing so.
"More students are seeking grad-
uate degrees. Finally, more adults
are coming back to school."
Administrators over-shot the
22,000 figure by 300 in planning
estimates, W illi a m s explained,
"partly due to the steel strike's
affect on the pocketbooks of some
prospective enrollees. Three hun-
dred one way or another is still
a good estimate when you deal
with a large figure so subject to
human factors."

Plans for Coed Dorm Remain Static

By DAVID TARR
Plans for a coeducational dormi-
tory are lying dormant in the
hands of a student committee ap-
pointed last spring to make a
preliminary study and suggestions
on its structure.
But Vice-President for Student
Affairs James A. Lewis said yes-
terday that the administration
plans to get the group working
again "very soon."
He said the next residence hall'
will "probably" be coeducational,
and that this committee will con-
tinue to work with the architect
and the administration in plan-
ning it.
No Report Given
Although no final conclusions
were reached or report submitted
before the study group became
defunct last spring, it arrived at
some tentative conclusions over
what might be put into the build-
ing.
Approval of a resolution author-

to be given a large part in assist-
ing with preliminary planning.
The committee, composed of 10
men and eight women, was named
and met once early in the semester
with Eero Saarinen, in charge of
North Campus development and
official architect for the dormi-
tory.
Two Part Committee
It was actually divided into two
Parts, from the Inter-House Coun-
cil and from Assembly.
At the meeting with Saarinen,
Assembly submitted the results of
a survey they took in the Women's
Residence Halls and League Houses
"to aid the student representatives
to the University's new residence
hall planning committee."
The survey, however, was geared
to residence halls in general and
had only a few questions relating
to the proposed coed dorm.
It is not known if the Assembly
group met after this report was
submitted. Members of the IHC
committee diffr ac to t+- +itmh-

in the dorm granted sufficient
funds would be available.
One committee member said,
"We knew financial corners would
have to be cut somewhere but we
planned what we would like to see
in the dorm without too much
consideration to this fact."
However, after the few meetings
the group had, nothing more hap-
pened and it has been inactive ever
since.
They planned to study the field
of student government but never
got that far, according to one
committee member.
While no final report was made,
this much came out of the confer-
ence with Saarinen and subsequent
committee meetings:
House 2000
The dorm would house 2000 stu-
dents with men and women shar-
ing central dining and library
facilities. Each section of the quad

first such statement since 1950.
But these changes did not affect
the ultimate Communist goal:
"Replacement of the system of
profits for the few with a system
of production owned by the people
and operated for the use of all."
Whipping Boys
Nor were there any changes
among the familiar Communist
whipping boys: The "giant trusts,"
"pro-fascist reaction," "Wall St.
forces," "American imperialism,"
and the "powerful enemies of free-
dom - the Brownells and Nixons,
the Eastlands and McCarthys."
The references were to Attor-
ney General Herbert Brownell,
Vice-President Richard M. Nixon,
Senator James O. Eastland (D-
Miss.) and Senator Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy (R-Wis.)
In the United States, many
high-ranking Communists have
been jailed as advocates of the
forcible overthrow of the U. S.
government.
