MOSCOW W)-Soviet Premier
Nikolia Bulganin last night raised
;. new conditions that may stale-
mate United Nations efforts to
solve the Middle East crisis.
In n~otes to the prime ministers
of Britain, France and Israel, he
declared UN troops being sent to
police the Middle East zone of
conflict must not be stationed in
the Suez Canal zone.
Also he demanded Egypt be paid
by Britain, France and Israel for
material losses suffered through
their invasion of Egyptian terri-
tory.
Egypt already has insisted the
UN force be posted only on the
1949 Palestine armistice line be-
tween Israel and Egypt and the
British-French troops be pulled
out immediately.
Britain and France have stated
their troops will not be with
drawn from the canal zone until
they are replaced satisfactorily by
the UN forces.
The Soviet and Egyptian insis-
tence the international force be
sent to the frontier might slow
the British-French withdrawal
and still give Russia pretext to
send Soviet "volunteers" to Egypt.
Bulganin's notes to British
Prime Minister, Eden, French
Premier Guy Mollet and Israeli
Prime Minister David Eben-Gur-
ion seemed milder than his earlier
messages to them in the Middle
East situation.
He did not speak of possible So-
viet intervention with either "vol-
unteers" or armed force.

Slams Juvenile Home Staff
By RENE GNAM
Joseph Rubinstein, psychology teaching fellow, claimed last
night Washtenaw County Juvenile Home is run by persons "who
can do little that is constructive for the children."
Rubinstein, son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Rubinstein, former super-
intendent and matron of the home, said the children are in "incompe-
tent and irresponsible hands . . . this (is) a dangerous situation."
Rubinstein said he had informed the authorities concerned to
this effect before the suicide of James A. Lillard, inmate of the home.
This comment came after Dexter Township Supervisor John G.

By DIANE LABAKAS
Prof. Marvin Eisenberg of the
fine arts department yesterday
cited the teacher as the key to
liberalizing a curriculum at the
annual student-faculty literary
conference in the League.
Curriculum changes in the fields
of social science, natural science
and the humanities were discussed
by the five-man panel.
Speaking on "Can We Liberalize
the Literary College Curriculum?"
Prof. Eisenberg declared "the corej
of a teacher's knowledge, if pre-
sented in a significant and com-
munitive form, will liberalize a
student."
He defined liberalization as
"trying to return to a greater de-
gree of intellectual unity in order
to avert the present confusion of
overspecialization." This is being

Rising Economy in

By RICHARD TAUB
If present trends continue, Grover Ensley, executive director
of Joint Committee on the Economic Report of the United States
Congress, said yesterday gross national production expressed at 1956
prices would be about $420 billion in 1957.
Ensley told the fourth Annual Conference on the Economic Out-
look sponsored by the University this figure may be compared with
total production of about $412 billion now estimated for this year when
"general economic tempo averaged
slightly above the long-run growth
trend."

niques we are learning in our
courses universally applicable, he
said.
Prof. Eisenberg warned any in-
ter-disciplinary course should be
taught at either upper graduate
or graduate levels where students
have already formed certain
frames of references.
Roger Harris, '59, remarked the
present literary college curriculum
concentrates on specialization and
compartmentization instead of
making a student feel he is part
of one body of learning.
He suggested students be given
certain required courses to begin
with, follow these by courses show-
ing how courses are related to one
another such as the consumer and
market research course of the psy-
chology department.
Prof. Robert C. Angell of the
sociology department said the
literary college is aiming at fewer
courses because "there are only a
limited number of teachers who
can teach these courses well.''
"Teachers who are interested in
interdepartmental courses should
be encouraged," Prof. Angell de-
clared."
Leslie Dietz, '58. criticized sur-
vey courses because of "their in-
doctrination and disjointed facts.
Students are not given a chance to
participate and thereby cannot use
their creativity and intelligence,"

State Demc
ments previously issued by Juvenile
Home Director Harold A. Nielsen
regarding the Oct. 22 suicidal
death of 14 year old Lillard.
Conlin Confirms
Nielsen, his statements confirm-
ed by County Probate Judge John
W. Conlin, said Lillard hanged
himself in his room by the hem
of a sheet.
Sterling said he and George P.
Smith, a sealer of weights and
measures, had used 100-pound
weights to test a sheet hem.
They reported the weights caused
the hem to rip.
Sterling thought marks on
Lillard's body "looked like rope
burns," and said he found a
clothesline in the room opposite
Lillard's.
Claims No Clothesline
Mrs. Clair Smith, former cook,
now acting matron of the home,
said last night "There isn't any
truth to it. I don't even have a
clothesline to hang clothes on."
She said there had never been
a clothesline in the room indicated
by Sterling, and commented fur-
ther nothing had been taken out
of the rooms since the suicide.
Reached by telephone last night,
Sterling said "I've got absolute
proof, myself and another witness,
there was a clothesline in that
room."
Nielsen, on a deer hunting trip,
couldn't be reached for comment.
Judge Conlin indicated he "never
saw a clothesline there."
He said "As of now, I do not
feel that there has been any in-
competency or irresponsibility" at
the Juvenile Home.

The blue-helmeted Danish and

cept sketchy UN resolutions on
how to meet a tpuch-and-go sit-
uation in which President Nasser
threatens to call on Soviet fight-
ing men for aid unless Israeli,
French and British forces with-
draw promptly from Egypt.
Wait for Nasser
An Egyptian Embassy spokes-
man in Moscow indicated Nasser
had not played that card yet, a
formal request for Soviet military
intervention by "volunteers."
But Egyptian spokesmen in
Moscow, at the United Nations in
New York, and in the Suez Canal
zone made plain they expect the
UN police force to effect quickly
the surrender of the French-Brit-
ish sector of the Suez Canal and
the Israel-held Gaza Strip to
Egypt or Nasser will make the
fateful appeal to Moscow.
Such a surrender still appeared
farthest from the minds of the
British, French and Israelis.

Conlin said nothing definite
could be established until the State

This, he said, will be sometime
next week.

Streiff Denies Parking
Problem; City Disagrees
By JAMES ELSMAN
Is parking space scarce on this campus or not?-that is a ques-
tion.
Students say yes. Francis C. Shiel, administrator of faculy and
staff parking says yes. Guy Larcom, city administrator, says yes. Karl
D. Streiff, student driving and parking supervisor, says no.
Vice President of Student Affairs, James A. Lewis said his office
is aware of the problem and students can expect action "soon."
"We haven't been getting complaints on sufficient student park-
ing," commented Streiff, "and this office doesn't recognize that stu-
dents have parking problems."
In addition, Streiff thought there are less cars on this post-
-drivin ban campus than last
year.

he continued, there was never any

Shiel admitted there aren't
enough student spaces, said the
problem was intensified this year,
and observed, "We knew we would
have a problem when we lifted the
driving ban last year."
He revealed the University was
also short of reserved spaces for
faculty and staff, commenting,
"I've received numerous com-
plaints from these people, but our
problem is that we have issued
8,000 permits and have only 4,000
