NATO Leaders'
To Build Up Pact
Treaty Organization To Be Given
Wider Political, Economic Powers
PARIS (P)-North Atlantic Alliance leaders agreed tentatively
yesterday to strengthen the treaty organization with wider political
and economic powers.
But secretary of State John Foster Dulles served notice that the
United States reserves full freedom of action in defense of its vital
interests without consulting its NATO allies in advance.
A spokesman for the conference of NATO foreign ministers said
they endorsed the outlines of recommendations by Halvard Lange
of Norway, Gaetano Martino of Italy and Lester B. Pearson of Canada,
members of a committee who have been studying political and eco-
nomic possibilities for NATO.

newly issued martial law decree.
At the same time-in a broadcast from strikebound Budapest-
it identified two of the labor leaders arrested in the Communists'
attempt to stem the surge of popular feeling against the Soviet-
supported premier, Janos Kadar.
The two were Sandor Racz, president of the Budapest workers

Committee
By VERNON NAHRGANG
Student Government Council
yesterday set up a five-man com-
mittee to investigate possible ac-
tion it might take against Sigma
Kappa and to report back to the
council as soon as "feasible."
Acting on the recommendation
of President Bill Adams, '57BAd,
the council appointed Union Pres-
ident Roy Lave, '57E, chairman,
Daily Editor Dick Snyder, '57,
Panhellenic President Carol De-
Bruin, '57, Mal Cumming, '58BAd
and Adams to the committee. It'
will hold its first meeting Wed-
nesday.
Council members felt the matter
should be investigated fully but
also that action should be taken
prior to Sigma Kappa's activation
of its present pledge class in Feb-
ruary.
Adams Reads Telegrams
Adams read a telegram to the
council from Sigma Kappa's De-
troit Alumnae Chapter, pledging
support of the University chapter.
Adams also announced the ap-
pointment of five new members to
Joint Judiciary Council.
They are Mary Julia Baker,
'58SN, Robert Birnbaum, '58, Egon
Gross, '58L, Robert Stahl, '58, and
Susan Sturc, '58, all of whom will
serve one-year terms.
SGC accepted a report and re-
commendations from its "M"
Handbook.Committee, and decided
to publish the book bi-annually
for distribution to incoming fresh-
men during the next two sum-
mers.
Handbook Report
Included in the report were re-
commendations that the handbook
subcommittee work with someone
from the journalism department
in preparing future issues of the
publication and with the admis-
sions office in increasing circula-
tion of the book.
The increase in circulation, the
report explained, would be on a
basis of the admissions office shar-
ing the cost of the handbook with
SGC.
SGC also decided to apply for a
student from the Foreign Student
Leadership project for the aca-
demic year 1957-58. Tom Kano,
Spec., is currently on campus in
connection with that project.
SGC also decided to send a
letter to the Board of Regents re-
questing recognition of the Stu-
dent Activity Board and its stu-
dent scholarship.
Lowenstein Speaks
Sandwiched in the long evening
of reports, council members heard
Al Lowenstein, past president of
the National Student Association,
urge them to work harder with
their rights and duties in student
government.
"No student government," Low-
enstein said, "is any more than
the persons in it who think clearly
of the problems of academic free-
dom and government.'
Prof. Lionel H. Laing of the
political science department also
appeared before the Council to
explain the organization, operation
and functions of the SGC Board
in Review, which met Sunday and
approved SGC's recent action,
finding .Sigma Kappa in violation
of University regulations.
Prof. Laing, chairman of the
Board, explained the Board could
be called at any time by himself
at the request of a member of the
board, who, in turn, could be
approached by "any concerned
person."
Action Delayed
But, the spokesman said, action
on their recommendations was de-
layed by French Foreign Minister
Christian Pineau and West Ger-
many's Heinrich von Brentano,j
who said they wanted to submit
amendments. .
A high NATO source said Secre-
tary Dulles told the 14 other for-
eign ministers of NATO member
countries it would be unfair to the
50 other nations with which the
United States has mutual defense
pacts if Washington could not act
in other parts of the world with-
out consulting NATO.
Recommends Consultation
The report by Lange, Martino
and Pearson - called N A T O's
"Three Wise Men"-recommended
"before any new policy is adopted
which might affect NATO, or a
political pronouncement is made,
there should be consultations."
Secretary Dulles, the source said,
told the closed ministerial meeting
he approved of this principle and
hoped it would be adopted. But,
if taken literally, Secretary Dulles
continued, this and another sen-
tence stating "there cannot be
unity in defense and disunity in
foreign policy" both go too far.
Diplomats in the meeting were
quick to point out Secretary Dul-
les' statement appeared Lcely to
cause a protestin view of United
States resentment when Britain
and France took military action
against Egypt without prior con-
sultation with the United States
or any other NATO member.

"The big drama is just begin-

Professors
See Failure
Of Uprising,
By TAMMY MORRISON
Two University professors last
night agreed the present Hun-
garian "semi-passive" revolt would
probably end in at least surface
failure.
"After all," Prof. Preston W.
Slosson of the history department
said, "the strikers eventually will
have to eat."
Prof. George Katona of the psy-
chology and economics depart-
ments noted quietly, "It's hard to
fight tanks."
Prof. Katona, a former Hun-
garian, went on to say the strikes
and scattered violence will prob-
ably have long-range effects.
"The guns and tanks can't be
there all the time," he said. "In
the long run, it's a wonderful
thing, what these brave, brave
Hungarians are doing."
Intimating something may have
happened to recently-installed
puppet Premier Janos Kadar,
Prof. Slosson said, "We don't seem
to have heard much from him
lately. It's impossible to say what
personal role he's playing."
Both professors credited the
current nationalistic wave with
helping to inflame the Hungarian
situation.
Conceding the effects would
"probably" be lasting, Prof. Ka-
tona commented, "I think na-
tionalism is on the upswing all
over the world-for good or bad."
Prof. Slosson, however, thinks
Hungarian nationalism will be
crushed, at least for the time
being. "Russia is right next door,"
he said, "and can throw an entire
army into Hungary. Of course,
her prestige is still shaky, but I
think she would take the neces-
sary steps," to completely crush
the revolt.
No matter what loss of prestige
Russia suffers, Prof. Slosson said,
she would be almost forced to
move because "success of a Hun-
garian independence movement
would start the other satellites
thinking."
Prof. Slosson said Poland's ex
ample was at least partially re-
sponsible for the Hungarian revolt.
"They haven't gone as far there
of course, but the spark was in
the Poznan labor revolts.
"I don't know of any other
satellites under such oppressive
rule," he concluded. "The Hun-
garians had plenty to revolt
about."
Faculty Members
Contribute $400
Professor George Kptona of the
psychology and economics depart-
ments reported yesterday he has
received approximately $400 for
Hungarian relief from 35 faculty
members.
The contributions came in res-
ponse to a motion passed by the
Faiulty Senate Nov. 26.
