LXVII No. 9 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1956 SIX PAGES Janowitz Defends Stevenson On End-Draft Suggestions Calls- Recent Proposals Sincere' Predicts Conscription Will End by 1961 By PETER ECKSTEIN Prof. Morris Janowitz of the ; sociology department yesterday de- fended Adlai Stevenson's recent statements on a possible end to the military. draft. Answering questions from an audience of more than 100 at a Students for Stevenson meeting, the Democratic candidate for the Michigan House of Representatives declared that Stevenson was "sin- cere" and "was not trying to sell a cheap package" America's armed forces are un- dergoing "a transformation in the uses of manpower," Prof. Janowitz commented, and he predicted that within five years the draft would be brought to an end. 'Short-Service Reserve' He offered his personal opinion that "gradual changes to a short- service local' reserve and a profes- sional overseas army" would some- day permit abolition of the draft "without cutting down our over- seas committments." In presenting the Democratic case before the semester's organi- zational meeting of the club, Prof. Janowitz described farm price parity as primarily a "moral issue" and only secondarily an economic one. He expressed the belief gov- ernment should take steps to pro- tect farmers who had contributed to the war ,effort by greatly in- creasing production and now face lower prices. ' Use Farm Surpluses' He said the nation should "make use of our farm surpluses in a meaningful way." Prof, Janowitz described the Suez crisis as "perhaps aa deeply. Frat Life' Talk Given Wistert Trials Begin In Poland For Rioters Protests of Innocence Issued by Defendants POZNAN, Poland (tA')- Commu- nist Poland opened trials of the bread-and-freedom rioters yester- day. There were defiant protests of innocence from defendants and an official admission that force had been used to extract confes- sions. Police Prosecutor Alphons Leh- mann made the admission just be- fore trials began for 54 of the 150 arrested after the Poznan work- ers' uprising last June 28. He said the use of force has been stopped and the guilty Polish officials have been punished. Ten Day Trials The 150 defendants are charged with criminal acts in the rebellion. Major accusations affected the group of 54, whose trials are ex- pected to take ten days. Two simultaneous h e a r in g a launched the trials. In one courtroom, three tough- looking shabbily dressed Polish' youths pleaded innocent to a charge that they killed a secret police corporal. They admitted hitting the cor- poral but denied they killed him. They entered their pleas defiantly. Nine Plead Guilty In the other hearing, nine 'de- fendants pleaded guilty to some charges of storming government offices and shooting down soldiers and police but protested they were innocent of other acusations. There was nothing in the de- meanor of the defendants to sug- that marked Communist area gest the abject self-accusation purge trials in the Stalin era.

The Republican party had learn- ed much in the past generation, the sociologist declared, and the Dem- ocratic party should learn to "free itself from fighting Hooverism." However, he did claim "subsis- tence income levels and depressed areas"--including Detroit-consti- tuted "pockets of poverty" stand- ing in the way of the nation's "eco- nomic progress."

Eisenhower, stepping up his schedule of campaign speeches, said yesterday he be- lieved in fighting any battle whole- heartedly-and with the thought there is always "a chance to lose it." He made the statement in turn- ing aside a news conference ques- tion as to whether he was getting reports his re-election campaign against Democratic Adlai Steven- son "may be a closer race than you anticipated." "I have not anticipated any- thing," President Eisenhower re- plied with some force. "I believe that when you are in any contest you should work like there is-to the very last minute-a chance to lose it." "This is battle, this is politics. this is anything," he went on. "So I just see no excuse, if you believe anything enough, for not putting your whole heart into it. It is what I do." Not Pessemistic However.President Eisenhower did not sound at all pessimistic. Nor did the sum total of his re- marks on the campaign sound as though he were "running scared," despite his statement about the possibility of losing. President Eisenhower said he had talked Wednesday night to his hard-campaigning running mate, Vice President Richard M. Nixon, and Nixon "seemed to be highly pleased with what he encountered." As for the odds of his being re- elected, President Eisenhower men- tioned this indirectly in comment on a statement by Dean Acheson, secretary of state in the Truman administration, that the Eisen- hower administration "seemed to be playing Russian roulette with an atomic pistol." Rather tartly, President Eisen- hower said: "If this campaign were going to be settled on the basis of mis- leading wisecracks, why, I would think the betting would be very considerably different than it would be if it is settled just on facts and on the record." Stevenson Compares Ike's Rule To 'Rome' ST. LOUIS (A')-Adlai Stevenson compared the Republican cam- paign last night with the "Bread and circuses" which the Roman emperors used to keep the people contented. He predicted the Re- publicans won't be any, more suc- cessful than the Romans were. The Democratic presidential nominee flew here to deliver an- other "give 'em hell speech" after telling a crowd at Kansas City, Kan., earlier in the day that the Democrats favor taking the coun- try away from General Motors and "turning it back to Joe Smith." Stevenson said the Republicans are trying "with movies, jeeps, girls and gadgets of all kinds" to sell the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket again "to a docile, complacent carefree people, all happily chant- ing: 'Peace, prosperity and pro- gress, ain't it wonderfull!" Ride in Motorcade Stevenson's speech was prepared for delivery a.t the Missouri Theater here, after the candidate rode in a motorcade through the Mid-America Jubilee grounds at the riverfront on the way from the airport to his hotel. "You remember," S t e v e n so n said, "how the Roman emperors in their declining years tried to keep the uneasy populace satisfied and their minds off their troubles with food and games, gladiatorial -combat and spectacles. Didn't Save Rome . . Well, 'bread and circuses' didn't save Rome, and it won't, save the Republicans either!" In probably the sharpest attackl he has yet delivered against the Eisenhower regime, Stevenson said -quoting a remark he attributed to a neorganizer of the Republican National Convention-the opposi- tion party seems to think of poli- tics "as moving closer to show business." "It certainly is, as they present it,-balloons, not arguments, the chorus line, not the political is- sues." "Don't think, just feel -- feel its all fine and the product is splendid. Pour out the money peri-I od. Forget that mushroom cloud.j Don't mention Suez. The worldj stops at the waterfront." Departure Implies Red Conference Khrushchev Returns From Yugoslav Stay BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (A')- President Tito surprised Western capitals yesterday by flying to the Soviet Union with Soviet Commu- nist party leader Nikita Khrush- chev. The trip was officially described as a vacation. There was a wide- spread belief the real purpose was to continue talks on the future role that Yugoslavia will play in relations with other East Europe- an Communist parties. Khrushchev arrived unexpected- ly in Belgrade Sept. 19 on a visit Ialso described as a vacation. Tito and the Russian leader spent several days talking privately. The main subject was generally be- lieved to be Tito's independent brand of communism. Indication of Inconclusion The fact Tito returned to Russia with Khrushchev was taken as an indication their eight-day talks at Belgrade were not conclusive. There was speculation the conver- sations had reached a.point where the Russian needed to consult his Kremlin colleagues. The official Yugoslav news agency Tanjug, reporting the Tito- Khrushchev party left on a special Soviet plane, said the party will spend several days resting. The Soviet news agency Tass reported in Moscow that Tito and Khrushchev arrived Thursday night on the Black Sea coast. Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin and Foreign Minister Dmitri Shep- ilov have been vacationing for sev- eral days at Sochi, a Black Sea resort town.

E HEARS NEWS: neis Praises Vaccine Gives Dorm Study Plans Establishment of a student com- mittee to study methods of dor- mitory finance is scheduled for the first meeting of the Board of Governors of the Residence Halls. Inter-House Council president Robert Warrick, '57E, told a meet- ing of the group last night this is what he has learned from ad- ministration officials. The committee was promised last spring by the Board when room and board rates were raised $20 per year. The announcement came at a special meeting of the IHC called to consider the resignation of a cabinet member and projects for the year. Refers to Report Dr. Francis referred to a recent Michigan polio report which re- vealed "as of Sept. 21, of all the 113 polio cases in Michigan in 1956 diagnosed as paralytic, not one case has been reported among those children who had previously received three shots of Salk Vac- cine." The question of vaccine effec- tiveness in children under six has also been answered in the affirma- tive. It was found there was a sharp rise in active antibodies in innoculated infants and pre-school children. Evidence from 1955 gathered in 17 states and New York City showed the incidence of paralytic polio is four to five times greater in non-innoculated persons. In the instances where a vaccinated per- son has contracted the disease the ensuing paralysis has been less severe.1 'Women Cheerleaders' Supp orters Losing Fight By CAROL PRINS to bring women on the football The threat to the all-male com- field to lead cheers.
