LXVII, No. 70 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1956 .IX PAGES 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. UN Cont-vdem s Soviet Union; Continue Hungarian Mandatory Death For All Criminals Communist Government Smar ting From Strike, Street Demonstrations VIENNA OP)-Hungary's Communist government-smarting under a general strike and continued street demonstrations-last night de- creed mandatory death for all persons convicted of crimes under its 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 Central Council, and Sandor Bali, a council member. They were charged with numerous offenses, including organiza- _Uprisings 5SGC Selects Sigma Kappa 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. World News Roundup- By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.- The Security Council yesterday unanimously approved the admis- sion of Japan as the 80th member of the United Nations.

'Tension Unbearable' A Hungarian labor leader newly escaped to Austria said the ten- sion within Budapest, torn for 50 days by military and political fighting, "is almost unbearable. "The big drama is just begin- ning," he said. "The storm can comeat any moment." In a similar vein, the Moscow radio said the Hungarian capital- its industry and commerce largely paralyzed by the 48-hour general strike protesting the activities of Kadar's government-was alive with "provocative rumors."

It was the sharpest split in this bloc yet to be registered in the Assembly. The Soviet Union angrily de- nounced the resolution and began1 a drive to bring charges against the United States for allegedly in- tervening in the Soviet bloc coun- tries. To Be Debated1 This will likely be debated later by the Assembly in the course of its regular work.y By its decision -the Assembly called for the third time for the, Russians to get out of Hungary.' This time it added the judgment against the Soviet Union in theĀ£ following words:4 "Declares that, by using its armed force against the Hungar- ian people, the government of thei 'Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-3 lies of violating the political inde- pendence of Hungary; "Condemns the violation of the charter by the government of the1 Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lics in depriving Hungary of its liberty and independence and the Hungarian people of the exercise1 of their fundamental rights." Relief Work Asked The Assembly asked Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, who has been trying unsuccessfully to go to Budapest, to start UN re- lief work "that he deems helpful in relation to the Hungarian prob- lem." This left it up to Hammar- skjold to decide what to do. It was inserted at the last min- ute to block a proposal by India, Ceylon, Burma and Indonesia for the Assembly to instruct Hammar- skjold to go to Moscow in an ef- fort to achieve a solution. Before the vote on the 20-coun- try resolution was taken, the As- sembly knocked down by voice votes a series of amendments by India, Ceylon and Indonesia which! would have deleted the condem- nation clause and tempered down I the resolution to a great degree. Nixon To Visit' Austria, Make Refugee Study AUGUSTA, Ga. (PM-At Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower's re- quest, Vice President Richard M. Nixon will go to Austria next week to study the Hungarian refugee problem and recommend what fur- ther aid the United States can extend. Announcing this last night, White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty left open the question of whether the trip may lead to bringing into this country more than the 21,500 refugees now plan- ned. The answer to that question, Hagerty said in resnonse to news- 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. P A R I S-The French National Assembly supported Premier Guy Mallet's pleas for European soli- darity yesterday and voted 354- 225 to return the rich Saarland to Germany.
