BIG TEN : AMATEURS AND PROFESSIONALS See Page 4 LY Latest Deadline in the State 43ag FAIR AND COOLER VOL LXVI, No. 26 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1956 EIGHT PAGES Nixon Hits SPlanTo End Bomb Tests Sees 'Flaw' in Adlai's Proposal; Defends Administration Stand By RICHARD SNYDER Daily Editor ,pecia To The Daily hACA, N. Y. - Russia might surge more than a year ahead of this country in nuclear advances if the United States were to adopt Adla Stevenson's proposals to end ) H - Bomb , tests, Vice - President Richard M. Nixon said here last night. Answering questions from 40 college newspaper editors from 15 states, Vice-President Nixon said the "flaw" in the Stevenson pro- posal was that scientists do not know if it is possible to detect ex- perimental explosions of small H- Bomb components. Nixon Takes Stands On a nationally-televised press conference the Vice-President also } defended President Dwight D. E i s e n h o w e r's administration's stand on civil bights, supported~ continuation of the military draft, and spoke against admission of Red China to the United Nations. In reply to a question regarding favorable comment from scientisis on the proposal to end H-Bomb tests, Vice-President Nixonisaid, "wil many well - intentioned, t thoughtful people were impressed with Stevenson's proposal, there is no provision for inspection to see that any agreement between Rus- sia and the United States could be carried out." The Vice-President said that while it is possible to detect throughout the world the explos- los of a whole bomb, scientists are not certain if the components of a bomb may be under test in other parts of the world. Year's Preparation "The last H-Bomb we exploded took more than a year to prepare for. You cannot have research without testing. The Russians would be more than a year ahead of us," Vice-President Nixon main- tained. -During the last four years, the Vice-President claimed, the gov- ernment has succeeded in lessen- ing bias in the nation's capital, made progress toward ending seg- regation in thewarmed forces, and instituted fair employment prac- tices in industries with govern- ment contracts. Court Enforcement Vice-President Nixon stressed that the supreme court segregation ruling must be first enforced by local governments. He said the federal government does not have the right to interfere in the af- fairs of a state unless the state fails in carrying out the law of the land. Commenting on Stevenson's pro- posal to end the draft as soon as possible, the Vice-President said, "you cannot get rid of the draft and still protect the security of the country." Citing United States exortation ofother countries to increase their mil man-power preparedness, he said, "This suggestion would have a disastrous effect on our friends abroad." Against Admission Vice-President Nixon stood firm against the admission of Red China to the UN. Should Red China be admitted, he said, "The UN would be morally destroyed." Vice-President Nixon spoke be- fore a capacity crowd of more than 1700 students in Cornell Uni- versity's Bailey Hall. Though mem- bers of the professional working press were in attendance, ques- tions were limited to the college editors meeting in Ithaca espec- ially for the occasion. Following the evening press con- ference the Nixon entourrage left for Providence, RI., for a New England tour.

Stevenson last night called the Vice-Presidency "this nation's life insurance policy" and declared Richard M. Nixon's re-election would leave it "uninsured." The American people "are going to read the fine print," Steven- son added. He largely ignored the President but devoted most of his address in this industrial city to a full-scale attack on the Vice-President. Nixon Master of Personal Innuendo Stevenson called him "a man whose greatest political talent is a mastery of personal innuendo, who cries 'treason' and spreads fear - and doubt, a man who uses lan- guage to conceal issues rather than -y 6 explore them, a man whose trade- mark is slander." e The Democratic nominee des- cribed the Presidency as "preem- inently a place of moral leader- ship," and said "it is impossible to think" of Vice-President Nixon- P o l R et as fulfilling that role.

SGC Gets Resignation Of Wrona Council Hears Letter; Approves New Budget Student Government Council last night accepted the resignation of Public Relations Chairman John Wrona,*'57. Wronaeresigned following his being fined $21.25 in Municipal Court Oct. 8 for scalping tickets to the Michigan-Michigan State game. He also announced his intention to run for re-election in the coming SGC election campaign. Seat Vacant A .motion was, passed holding Wrona's seat vacant until the No- vember election, while his Public Relations chairmanship was dele- gated by the council to Ron Shorr, '58. SGC President Bill Adams, '57 BAd, read a copy of the letter sent to inform the National Council of Sigma Kappa sorority and other interested parties that the Coun- cil would discuss the status of Sigma Kappa's University chapter on Dec. 5. The letter reviewed the organi- zation and authority of Student Government Council in regard to its recognition of student organi- zations and invited clarification and explanation of the sorority's membership policies. Budget Accepted SGC also unanimously accepted the Finance Committee's proposed budget for the fiscal year Sept. 1, 1956-Sept. 1, 1957. The budget expenditures total $10,502.90, the largest shigle item being a $2060 public relations ex- pense, including $1300 for elec- tions. Atomic Power Used As Fuel I England CALDER HALL, England ()- Britain yesterday switched on atomic power to cook the family supper-and launched the second industrial revolution. - "We are present at the making of history," said Queen Elizabeth II as she moved a lever at the world's first full-scale atomic power plant. The housewife in England's north could not note the differ- ence. But many a workman came home yesterday to supper cooked with electricity generated by uran- ium fuel rods at Calder Hall. The atom, with its awesome meaning in war, now was tamely producing steam which drove a turbine generating electricity. Cal- der Hall took its place as another feeding station for the country's electricity network. The contribution to the network was not large. Calder Hall's production was 46 megawatts of the nation's 20,000 megawatts. By next March when the second half of the power sta- tion is completed, the continuous output will be 90 megawatts. One megawatt is 1 million watts. Scientists forecast, however, that by 1957 all new power stations in Britain will be of the atomic type instead of those using coal and oil. Russia Ready Nuclear Bomb _ Ike Orders Case History Of H-Bomb Labels Stevenson's Statements Incorrect SEATTLE WA)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday ordered a complete history prepared on the hydrogen bomb because he be- lieves, an aide said, that Adlai Stevenson has made "incorrect statements" in his campaign speeches. Presidential Press Secretary James Hagerty told a news con- ference the President reached the decision early yesterday morning, and that the statement of the ad- ministration's views will be re- leased in Washington next week. Ike Speaks President Eisenhower was in Seattle for a speech yesterday in his bid for Washington State's nine electoral votes. Stevenson, in the Democratic campaign for the presidency, re- peatedly has called for a halt in the testing of superbombs. Monday night in Chicago, he said, "If elected president, I would count it in the first order of busi- ness" to consult with Great Britain and Russia on how the atomic tests could be stopped. Ike Spoke President Eisenhower told a news conference in Washington last week that he had spoken his "last word" both on the H-bomb and on the military draft. But Stevenson's speech M9tonday night changed the President's mind. "The President feels," Hagerty said, "that since Mr. Stevenson has raised this again, and in this speech made what we believe to be extraordinary statements, we have asked our people in Washing- ton to prepare a complete history in this field." Hagerty declined to say what statements the President consid- ered "extraordinary" or "incor- rect." MIDDLE EAST: Israel-A rab Tension Mounts Over Jordan JERUSALEM (-Premier David Ben-Gurion yesterday reaf- firmed Israel's "freedom of action" if Iraqui troops move into Jordan. Signs of a tense tug-of-war over the future of that desert king- dom increased. In Cairo, a friend of Egyptian President Gamal Nasser accused Iraqi Premier Nuri Said of "engineering a plot" to extend the pro- western, anti-Communist Baghdad Pact to Jordan and Syria and eventually to overthrow the Egyptian government. Survival Chances 'Slender' The English-Language Jerusalem Post, which often reflects the thinking of the Israeli government, said the chances of survival of Jordan as an independent kingdom were "very slender." Ben-Gurion, summing up a two- day foreign policy debate in Par- liament, said Iraq's decision to postpone sending army forces into Jordan and other developments along the tense Jordan-Israeli bor- der the last two days were favor-' able. At the end of his speech, Parlia- ment voted 76-13 in favor of his policy. Other Developments There were these other develop- ments in the tangled Arab-Israeli situation: Britain warned Jordan, her partner in a 20-year alliance, that the British would not be dragged automatically into war with Israel. A London Foreign Office spokes- man said Britain would have to satisfy herself, Jordan was the in- nocent victim of aggression before carrying out the terms of the al- liance. At United Nations headquarters in New York, Israel asked the Se- curity Council to take up alleged armistice and cease-fire violations by Jordan. Proposals Approved An Israeli spokesman charged that 37 Israelis have been killed and 45 wounded along the Jordan border since UN Secretary Gener- al Dag Hammarskjold got a cease- fire pledge last April. Britain and the United States have openly approved proposals for King Faisal of Iraq to send troops into the country of his Hashemite cousin, King Hussein of Jordan. NEGOTIATIONS QUIET: 'To Continue Our Nuclear Ideas'-Estes SPRINGFIELD, Mo., (A)-Sen- ator Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) said yesterday the Democrats will refuse to silence their proposals for ending nuclear bomb tests de- spite President Dwight D. Eisen- hower's "truly astonishing efforts to shut off discussion of the horror which faces all mankind." The vice-presidential candidates said he and Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic party standard bearer, will "continue to speak out with courage and conviction because we know that we speak for all hu- manity when we call for an end to the macabre military race which can only result in annihilation of half the people on earth." Rally Speech In a speech at a rally at the Springfield S h r i n e Auditorium, Sen. Kefauver charged the Repub- lican -administration with failure to nail down peace by taking the lead in efforts to obtain an inter- national agreement to stop hydro- gen bomb testing. "Adlai Stevenson does not want, and I do not want, the threat of atomic war, to be a permament condition of the life of mankind," he said. Introduced Hill Sen. Kefauver earlier in the day at St. Louis introduced David Hill, a physicist and old friend now as- sociated with the atomic energy laboratories at Los Alamos, N.M., for an impromptu speech to an airport crowd. Hill had just stepped off a plane from Chicago. Former national chairman of the Federation of American Scien- tists, Hill said, "it is insane to continue these bomb tests" and de- clared the United States has lost the leadership in peaceful develop- ment of atomic energy. Nation Honors Lofty Exploits of Architect C H I C A G O P)-Frank Lloyd Wright yesterday was feted as the world's architectural hero - and the crusty, 87-year-old veteran of innumerable disputes didn't miss a chance to tellrhis idolators they were absolutely right. Officially, a big banquet dinner which drew more than 1,000 per- sons was connected with the cre- ation of a perpetual endowment of Wright's architectural school at Spring Green, Wis But the big topic-and the core of most of the excitement-was Wright's proposed mile high build- ing for Chicago. The drawing of the proposed building stands 22 feet and was the focal point of a huge Wright exhibit at which scale models of many of his architectural works were shown. Following the banquet, Wright Halt Fests UN Delegate Sees Britain, U.S. In Plan Claim Soviets Will Agree on Immediate Stop To Explosions UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (P)- Soviet Delegate Arkady A. Sobo- lef said yesterday the Soviet Union is ready to agree with the United States and Great Britain on an immediate, unconditional halt to test explosions of nuclear weapons. Sobolev made the statement to a reporter in answer to a question on Russia's current stand on the question of test explosions. No Politics He said nothing about the politi- cal controversy between Adla Stevenson, Demoratic Presiden- tial nominee who has proposed ne- gotiating a halt on H-bomb tests, and President Dwight' D. Eisen- hower, Republican nominee who has rejected Stevenson's ideas. The U.S. position in United Na- tions disarmament talks is that any ban on test blasts must be part of a comprehensive disarmament plan with adequate controls and safeguards. Ready To Agree "The Soviet Union is ready to enter now into an agreement with the other powers for an immediate halt to the test explosions of nu- clear weapons without conditions,' Sobolev said. "We believe this might be the first step toward a system of dis- armament and eventual prohibi- tion of the nuclear weapons. Stevenson has mentioned only the hydrogen bomb in his speeches calling for a halt to test explo- sions. But Sobolev said the Russian position applies to all nuclear weapons, AEC Expert Takes Issue With Adlai WASHINGTON (-The Atomic Energy Commission yesterday made public a telegram from its onetime medical research chief taking issue with Adlai Stevenson's proposal that this country take the lead toward ending H-bomb tests. Dr. Shields Warren of Boston, whom the AEC described as an outstanding authority on medical radiology, declared the dosage of radioactive strontium resulting from H-bomb fall-out is "insignifi- cant." Distribute Poison With regard to the question of continuing the tests, he said it would be "disastrous" for this country to fall behind the Rus- sians. In arguing Monday night for his proposal to end the tests, Steven- son said they distribute over the world strontium-90, which he de- scribed "as the most dreadful poison." "In sufficient concentration," Stevenson said, "It can cause bone cancer and dangerously affect the reproductive processes." Levels Dangerous He said he was not asserting that present levels of radioactivity are dangerous because "scientists do not know exactly how dangerous the threat is." Dr. Warren, in a telegram to AEC Chairman Lewis L. Strauss, said statements made by Steven- son "should be corrected." He also said: "To permit us to fall behind Russians is disastrous; to wait for them to catch up to us is stupid." Political Clubs Will xDebate The issues of foreign policy and witn~n ,.ar.it, n+hp -.nrn t nrnn riAn- The number of students success- fully polled, 240 out of a sample of 470, presented a serious prob- lem, he observed, noting that "no survey analyst would feel happy about losing one-half of his sam- ple. Burton Lauds A-Bomb Curb SOUTH BEND, Ind. W) - A ranking University of Notre Dame scientist suggested yesterday "the minimum first step of stopping atom bomb tests" could "limit the hazard of radioactively inducted cancers for present generations and . avoid some unknown and horrible consequences for the peo- ple of the future." Prof. Milton Burton, director of the Notre Dame Radiation Labor- atory, said current observation techniques would disclose quickly to "all the major nations of the world" any violation of the "no- test" agreement. "No nation could afford to risk a violation of such an agreement because adherence to it would be obviously essential to the welfare of the entire world," said Burton in a statement. Noting that for 11 years scien- tists had been warning about the danger of atomic fallout, .Prof. Burton said "it is incredible that a political campaign should bring this present danger to public con- sideration." I CR 1ltb T. 11ri Stevenson's Wit The Stevenson wit flashed in- termittently during a generally serious speech. Deriding Dewey's contention that one of the Repub- lication Administration's "new ideas" was "prosperity without war," he said he wouldn't expect the gentleman. to know about Woodrow Wilson's first Adminis- tration. "But I assumed he knew about the condition of the country from 1946 to 1950. After all, he was run- hing for President all that time." Rail Workers' Contract Agreement Draws Near WASHINGTON W)-The nation's railroads and a score of labor unions representing more than a million rail workers were reportesd nearing an agreement yesterday for a three-year cogzract providing substantial pay increases. Negotiations are being carried on quietly in Chicago but reports in the rail industry and union circles are that both sides have ex- changed informal settlement offers.

By JAMES ELSMAN, JR. Prospects are indeed dim that this campus will witness the de- parture of the University Commit- tee on Lectures at any time in the near future. Although the Regent-supervised, faculty-administered Committee is here to stay, slight policy changes are in the offing. Prof. James K. Pollock, commit- tee chairman, revealed recently, "the Lecture Committee is now considering a policy change re- garding the advent of television on public meetings." SGC 'Studying' Student Government Council is now "studying and gathering facts. Tow' Sawyer, '58, SGC study committee chairman, said, "our plans are to search out students, Regents, administrators and facul- ty members as to their opinions regarding the policies of the Lec- ture Committee." SGC To Determine He mentioned that "test cases" would be submitted to individual members of the Committee and thus SGC could determine the exact present policy of the Com- mittee.
