'NET LOSS'.
SGC Head Hits
New Calendar
By JAMES ELSMAN
Student Government Council President, Bill Adams 57BAd, as-
sessed the new calendar plan as a "net loss" for the student body at
a Wednesday get-together of Calendar Committee representatives.
He noted students gained only "a scheduled Thanksgiving re-
cess and one day study sessions before final exams - two things
that we had informally under the old calendar."
Greatest loss under the 1956 calendar, remarked Adams is a
shortened Christmas vacation "preventing students from securing
holiday Jobs."
]Five More Days
Students will be in school approximately five more days under
the new calendar plan, Prof. Paul Dwyer of the mathematics de-
partment observed.

Action To Ease
Suez Problem
East, West Leaders Show Concern
Over Syria; Major Crisis Feared
LONDON VP) - Britain and France yesterday were reported
ready to withdraw most of their troops from Egypt by Christmas,
thus easing the Suez crisis.
But Syria shaped up as a new potential Middle East powder keg.
Fears of a flareup in the strategically located republic were open-
ly expressed by leaders in the East and West.
Western diplomats said they suspected a Soviet plot to gain con-
trol over Syria, where a pro-Russian army group is believed exercis-
ing heavy influence over the country.
Turkey Moves
Turkey, which lies between Syria and the Soviet Union, has
rushed Ethem Menders, acting foreign minister to Paris and Lon-
don for high-level talks on countering Communist tactics.

Million Bbls. ail
Major Oil Companies Combine
Resources To Increase Output
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- President -Dwight D. Eisenhower gave
the signal yesterday to ship a half-million barrels of oil daily
to Western European countries facing critical shortages be-
cause of the Mideast crisis.
In answer to Europe's mounting pleas, the President fi-
nally ordered into operation standby plans for emergency
shipmets which had been drafted last August.
President Eisenhower acted, informants said, after what
he regarded as sufficient backstage assurances that Britain
and France would pull their troops out of Egypt.
Surprise
Diplomatic officials reported from London about the time
the White House made its announcement that Britain would
withdraw most of its troops
UN Troops
Enter Suez
Bduffer Zone
EL CAP, Egypt OP)-United Na-
tions troops launched their his-
toric peace patrol between hostile
forces yesterday and it wasn't
easy.
They took over British forward
positions almost without a hitch
but were barred from Egypt's en-
trenchments across the truce line.
By nightfall, UN troops occu-
pied a buffer zone 600 yards wide
and 1,000yards deep between a
British sector of the British-
French front and the Egyptian
lines.
Danish troops wearing blue UN
helmets moved into sand-bagged
British foxholes about 24 miles
south of the British-French head-
quarters in Port Said. They car-
ried machine guns and rifles.
Egyptians Stubborn
As they moved up across no-
man's-land, British soldiers moved
back northward.
A UN observer told correspond-
ents that while the British and
French were ceding their front-
line positions, the Egyptians did
not reciprocate.
The observer said the Egyptians
agreed only to let UN forces es-
tbalish lightly manned check-
points 20 yards in front of their
forward foxholes.
At midmorning, when the take-
over was scheduled to begin, the
Egyptians balked.
Negotiations
The UN observer said the Egyp-
tians insisted UN troops remain
1,000 yards north of their front!
line.
There followed several hours of
negotiation through Maj. Gen.
E.L.M. Burns, the UN force com-
mander in Cairo.
The Egyptians finally agreed to
UN checkpoints 20 yards from
their outposts.
Twithdraw from the Suez area.
With tensions subsiding in the
Suez area there were these devel-
opments elsewhere affecting the
Middle East:
1. Moscow radio began whipping,
up the Arab peoples with reitera-
tions of accusations by Foregin
Minister Dmitri Shepilov that
Britain, France and Israel were
hatching "new plans of aggres-
sion" against Syria and Jordan.
This was drummed into the ears
of listeners in constant Arabic
broadcasts beamed to the East.
Pipeline Trouble
2. The British Foreign Office
said Syria had ignored demands
that it repair the Brtiish-built
pipeline which carries oil from
neighboring Iraq to the Mediter-
anean.
The British charged that the
Syrian army sabotaged the pipe-
line shortly after Britain and
France invaded Egypt.
3. Baghdad dispatches reported
that five Arab nations - Iraq
Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Sudan
and Libya - were bracing to
block the spread of Red influence.
These countries, fearful of
openly relying on British and
French support, awaited a lead
from the United States whose
middle role during the Suez cri-
sis won acclaim in the area.
Opposition
Ranged against these five were
Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Syrian
Foreign Minister Salah Bitar
claimed Turkey, Iraq and Jrael
were assembling troops on the
frontiers of his country. -
Official sources in Paris re-
ported French trade negotiators
have accepted Russian offers to
increase the flow of Soviet oil to
France immediately and raise the
level to almost 1,900,000 tons an-
nually by 1959.
The Soviet Union's oil deliveries
to France this year will reach
350,000 tons.
The trade negotiators agreed to
get 650,000 tons to France next
year, 875,000 tons in 1958. France
normally gets some 23 million tons
annually from the Middle East
alone.

PEACE THROUGH VIOLENCE?-Discussing "Is Violence the
Path to Peace?" in Angell Hall last night were 1. to r. Profs.
Morris Janowitz, Anatole Rapoport, Kenneth Boulding and Pres-
ton Slosson. Prof. Robert Angell (center) was moderator.
Winpeace With World
Unio*n'- Prof. Slosson
By ARLINE LEWIS
"Peace in the world will only be effected by the coming of a world
community," Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department said
last night at an Angell Hall debate.
Participating in a faculty discussion concerned with violence
as a means to peace, Prof. Slosson maintained that peace had never
existed for a long period of time except under rule -of law which in
turn relied on force.
Federal Union
Today, he said we have international courts but no police." He
advocated the collectivization of force and the formation of a federal
union of free nations as a step toward desired world. government.
Continuing, Prof. Slosson supported military defense measures by
explaining that if the United States were to abandon all arms and
utilize non-violent methods of resistance, it would leave itself open
to aggression.
Opposing force as a means to world peace, Prof. Anatole Rapoport
of the Mental Health Institute cited the difficulty of defending the
aggressor in current internationals-
affairs. "Each side belives the l
other is the guilty party," he said.
by Christmas. France was un-
derstood to be planning simi-
lar action.
President Eisenhower's decision
nevertheless came as a surprise.
Only Thursday top officials said
the emergency plan would not be
triggered until Britain publicly
announced Monday a specific
time-table for troop withdrawal.
Overnight President Eisenhow-
er's administration leaders de-
cided, informants hinted, that in-
voking the plan in advance would
encourage the British government
to carry out its tentative promise.
15 Companies
President Eisenhower's directive
specifically gave 15 U.S. major
oil companies permission to pool
tankers, production and distribu-
tion outlets to meet Europe's oil
demands more efficiently.
About 300,000 barrels of extra'
American oil already are moving
to western Europe via. normal
commercial channels.
This flow will be stepped up to
500,000 barrels daily - and main-
tained at this rate indefinitely -
under the emergency arrange-!
ments.
To make these extraordinary
shipments posible, American hem-
isphere production will be boosted
by 800,000 to 850,000 barrels, daily
mainly in Texas, Oklahoma andi
Louisiana. #
Local GOP
Rep. Want's
New Party
By PETER ECKSTEIN
George Wahr Sallade yesterday
proposed a ."Modern Republican"
legislative program for the con-
sideration of his fellow legislators.
Sallade, a local businessman and
former associate editor of The
Daily, presented his ideas in a
letter to the 85 Republicans in
both houses and at a meeting with
13 of them in Ann Arbor.
He called it the first step in an
effort to "rebuild" the party so
that in 1958 "an aggressive candi-
date for governor could lead us to
victory."
The program included develop-
ment ofcommunity colleges, a 90
cent minimum Wage, increased as-
sistance for the aged, the blind,
the disabled and dependent child-
ren, and new hospital space and
research, including a center at the
University's medical school de-
voted to' the problems of the aged
and chronically ill.
Sallade called the response of
those at the meeting "favorable."

'RAIMENT OF BEAUTY'
Snowfall Fills Campus
With Ominous Quiet
By DONNA HANSON
The night is still, the quiet is ominous;
The moon shines through the branches
And kindles the snow on the ground
Into a myriad of separate fires
Couples trudge wordlessly through the snow
Watching their breaths form in the air,
Listening to the snow talk
Under thep ressure of their feet.
