()-All Negro pupils at Clinton High School stayed away from classes yes- terday following new outbreaks of racial strife this week., But one of the group indicated that the 10 Negroes still attending the school might return today. Originally, 12 Negroes were ad- mitted last August under federal court order, but two have dropped out, * At the same time, Frank Iwin, superintendent of Anderson Coun- ty schools, said Clinton High of- ficials had been instructed not to give out any further information relating to integration of the school.

A motion by Inter-Fraternity Council President Tim Leed, '57- BAd, to cancel Tuesday's forum, was defeated on grounds that SGC Y should hear an expression of stu-- f dent opinion on the issue before they consider it the following day. n ' Lave Motion Defeated A motion by Union President Roy Lave, '57E, thatconstituents except for Sigma Kappa members, be allowed to speak only during r regular constituents' time, was de- feated because the maorty of Council members felt expression r of opinion at the meeting would , be pertinent to the question. e Adams, however, said he feared - open debate would lead to a "cir- r cus" similar to debate last spring on deferred sorority rushing. a After further heated discussion, Campus Affairs Chairman May- nard Goldman moved that alum- nae, legal advisers and delegated representatives of Sigma Kappa be allowed to speak at any time during next Wednesday's meeting. He later withdrew his motion and the Council decided to defer dis- cussion on the question until a special meeting Sunday. Open Forum To Be Held An open forum on Sigma Kappa will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Natural Science Auditorium. ' According to forum director Ron Shorr, '57E, the forum's main purpose is to give students a chance to. air their views con- cerning the sorority's position on the University campus.

Pledges Get 'More Money. -Daily-Ed Graff YOUNG DEMS-Gurney Pearsall, '57, president of the campus NAACP, speaks at the Young Democrat's panel discussion on racial discrimination in Ann Arbor. .Local Racial Problems Remain, Panel Says By ALLAN STILLWAGON Members of last night's panel discussion on discrimination in Ann Arbor agreed that progress toward solution of racial problems is sure, but slow. Donald Pelz, study director for the University Survey Research Center, reviewed those findings of the Ann Arbor Self Survey which referred to Negro employment opportunities. Pelz, who serves as administrative director of the survey on a volunteer basis, repeated findings recently presented to the Institute in Human Relations which showed that race was a substantial factor in local employment opportunities. Negroes Resigned "Negroes seem to have resigned themselves in many cases to less (desirable jobs," he continued. Hatcher Calls For Hungary Aid Funds' University faculty members will receive letters soon suggesting they contribute to a Hungarian relief fund. This drive grew out of a motion passed by the Faculty Senate at their Monday meeting. Prof. George M. Mc Ewen of the engineering English department. and secretary of the Senate Ad- visory Committee reported the motion read as follows: "Where- as recent developments in Hun- gary have shocked all of civilized humanity and whereas the Inter- national Rescue Committee Inc. has undertaken to assist Hun- garian victims of suppression; therefore be it resolved that this Senate requests President Hatch- er to send to each member of the Faculty a reminder of the great need which exists and to designate some agency as depository for fi- nancial contributions to the IRC." Prof. George Piranian of the mathematics department intro- duced the motion and Prof. George Katona of Survey Research spoke in its behalf. Both men are for- mer Hungarians. Yesterday, University President Harlan H. Hatcher sent a letter to each department acknowledg- ing their motion. "There is evidence that Negro children in the 14-17 year age group have accepted the patterns of adults. They don't indicate that they would really try for positions which seem closed to the Negro." Bob Marshall, a business repre- sentative on the SGC Human Re- lations board, called for a more positive, forceful attack on local problems. "Problems are not being solved fast enough," he maintained, "al- though I am happy to say that some things look better." For instance, discrimination in Ann Arbor's barber and beauty shops is very definittely ending, and this is an especially notable gain." Definite Gains Gloria West, '58, a member of the Human Relations Board, said definite gains were being made by that group. She cited the Board's policy of avoiding publicity as a major rea- son for its success. Gurney Pearsall, '57, president of the Ann Arbor chapter of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, re- viewed the local history of the NAACP. Past Work He recalled past work done in connection with discrimination in League houses and explained the "Fairplay" sticker c a m p a i g n which called upon local business to demonstrate their willingness to serve all races. French Units Leave Posts In Mid-East Delegate Promises Further Withdrawal UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A)- France announced yesterday the withdrawal of more troops from Egypt and promised to pull out additional units soon. The United Nations police pa- trol, meanwhile, slowly built up strength to fill the gap. "I am authorized to announce," French delegate Vincent Broustra told the UN assembly, "that after the arrival of the Norwegian com- pany of the international, force, the French command withdrew from Port Said one company of infantry and one naval commando unit, and that it is prepared to withdraw a new echelon after the arrival of the Yugoslav detach- ment." - He gave no figures. Earlier the French had made an initial statement that they had withdrawn about one-third of the total number of troops they sent to the combat area for the com- bined invasion of Egypt with Brit- ian. The Norwegian unit referred to by Broustra arrived in Port Said a week ago. The main force of the Yugoslav battalion is slated to land later this week in Port Said. In other developments in the Middle East crisis, United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammar- skjold announced he expected to have 4,100 UN troops in Egypt within two weeks and Egypt's For- eign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi once more demanded the invaders pay at least the material damage they inflicted. Invaders Leave Fawzi demanded -the invaders leave Egypt forthwith. Britain and France were report- ed in London to be resigned to beginning a large-scale withdraw- al in a few days. Joint Judic Petitions Due Petitioning for five one-year terms on Joint Judiciary Council will close Dec. 6, according to Chairman Mike McNerney, '57L. Petitioning is open to all Uni- versity students who have at least 60 hours of college credit. Joint Judic hears individual and group cases of University regula- tions violations of an all-campus nature, including driving and' drinking violations, Petitions may be picked up from Carolyn McKenzie, 1020 Admin- istration Building. war." Sabry said Egypt had postponed acceptance of volunteers from friendly countries for its armed forces "because the United Na- tions now is taking care of the problem." He added: Volunteer Problem "However, the problem of vol- unteers hangs on whether the UN solves the present crisis in Egypt." Sabry said Egypt had asked all nations of the world for help and some had shown, willingness toj send volunteers. Sabry denied Soviet offiers had fought in the Egyptian army or that there was Communist influ- ence in Egypt. No Foreign Elements "Nonsense," he said of reports about the Soviet officers. "We shall not allow foreign elements in our armed forces. Concerning the infiltration of Communists in Egypt, our policy is clear' We will never throw our- selves in anybody's arms.. ." Talk Set On Athletic Aid Faculty Senate will reconvene Monday's adjourned meeting at 4:15 p.m. today in the Rackham Amphitheatre. A motion tabled last Monday commending Athletic Director H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler and Prof. Mar- cus Plant of the Law School for their work in the area of eco- nomic aid to athletes will be brought, to the floor again accord- ing to Prof. John C. Kohl of the engineering school and chairman of the Senate. At Monday's meeting Crisler and Plant explained that they would vote for an "equalization" plan of financially assisting athletes at the December 5 gathering of the Western Conference in Chicago. It is not clear whether the Sen- ate is in agreement with Crisler's position or not. Kohl hinted the Senate may express opinion on the matter, saying, "The Faculty Sen- ate under Regent Bylaws can rec- ommend policy to the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Ath- letics." l lo rroiv REQUEST TO UN: Egypt Asks Time Limit For Allied Withdrawal) CAIRO (/)-President Gamal Abdel Nasser's chief political ad- viser, Ali Sbary, said yesterday Egypt has asked United Nations Sec- retary General Dag Hammarskjold to fix a time limit for withdrawal of British, French and Israeli troops from Egypt. In an interview broadcast by the Egyptian state radio, Sabry said Egypt made the request through Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi. Then Sabry added: Invaders Ignore "If the invaders ignore decisions of the UN Egypt can take many steps which we cannot divulge now, but I cannot guarantee that these steps will not lead to worldol City Police Claim Staff Increasing By WILLIAM HANEY Ann Arbor police department is slowly reaching full strength for the first time since the mass resignation of 11 officers Novem- ber 20, 1955. The budget given the police de- partment by City Council last July, increased the police staff' personnel allotment from 77 to 81. After the November resigna- tions the force was short 19 of- ficers. The department now claims a deficit of only eight policemen. Two Policemen However according to an esti- mate which calls for one and one- half to two policemen per 1,000 citizens, Ann Arbor police de- partment is understaffed by at least 31 men. While the University is in ses- sion Ann Arbor's population ex- ceeds 75,000. Based on the esti- mate of one and one-half to two policemen per 1,000 citizens Ann Arbor police staff would be 112 to 150. The pressure created by resig- nations necessitated the remain- ing policemen to go on a 60-hour week. City Council, concerned over discontent in the police de- partment with wages and lack of overtime pay, called in a public administration and finance con- sultant to make a survey of sal-I aries and worknig conditions. On the recommendations of the consultant, all policemen were given a raise in salary, pay for overtime, a longevity plan calling for pay raises after ten years ser- vice and a four-scale pay level with provisions for pay raises for the first 10 years with the depart- ment. "This, along with the $120 sal- ary increase granted in Novem- ber, was an incentive," Police Chief Casper M. Enkemann said, "and many applications were re- ceived, not only from within the state, but also from men outside the state." Main Problem The main problems after the mass resignation was, according to Enkemann, " whether or not to lower standards to fill vacancies. Conferences between command officers, the Police Commission and the department's employees resulted in the raising, rather than the lowering of entrance standards. The department is now down to a 44-hour work week and "we hope to start the 40-hour week in the near future," Enkemann said. French Guns Blast Rebels ALGIERS ()-French Foreign ' Legionnaires and paratroops, sup- ported by artillery and planes, yes-' terday were fighting one of the biggest battles of the two-year-old Algerian nationalist rebellion near . U.S. Blasts Soviet Arms Shipments Syria Troop Move On Lebanon Border Reported by Ankara By The Associated Press Russian Foreign Minister Dmitri T. Shepilov claimed late yesterday he has "incontestable informa- tion" that Britain, France, and Israel plan to attack Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and other Near- Eastern countries. "The Soviet Union, on the other hand, is determined to support world peace," Shepilov added. The statement was made while Shepilov was stopping over in Co- penhagen on his flight home from the United Nations General As- sembly in New York. U.S. Accusation The United States accused Rus- sia yesterday of adding to Middle East tension by shipping "sub- stantial" amounts or arms to Syria. Concern over these weapons de- liveries also has been expressed to the Syrian government by the Am- erican ambassador in Damascus, the State Department reported. The Syrian government, how- ever, is now believed to be under the control of a group of pro- Soviet army officers. Reports from Lebanon, Syria's neighbor to the west, spoke of the likelihood of an open coup by the Syrian army clique to consolidate its position. Washington Officials Washington officials said more than 30 million dollars worth of Soviet weapons, including light tanks, artillery, mortars, machine guns, armored cars and munitions, have been delivered to the last year. British sources at the United Nations furnished bigger figures. They said the Soviet bloc had shipped about 60 million dollars worth of arms to Syria and about 400 million dollars worth to Egypt up to Nov. 10. White Statement Lincoln White, State Depart- ment press officer, said Russia has made additional shipments to Syria "since the Middle East crisis." White's comment contrasted re- marks by White House Press Sec- retary James C. Hagerty. Hagerty reported at a news conference about the same time that he be- lieved international tension over the Middle East "has been greatly eased over the last two or three weeks.' Talking to reporters at Augusta, Ga., where President Dwight D. Eisenhower is vacationing, Hag- erty disagreed with a reporter who expressed the view that the Middle East outlook had not improved. Hagerty cited the cease-fire gained by the UN in Egypt as well as the movement of UN police forces into the area as encourag- ing signs. Ike Dispatches Goodwill Note To Mollet PARIS (')-President Dwight D. Eisenhower has sent French Pre- mier Guy Mollet a personal letter reaffirming faith in French- American friendship and the At- lantic Alliance. Diplomatic sources reported yesterday as United States Am- bassador C. Douglas Dillon pre- pared to fly home today for con- ferences on the differences be- tween France and Britain on one hand and the United States on the other. French and American sources described the President's message as "warm and cordial" but de- clined to go into details. Dillon delivered it late last week.
