'56 Review-A Year of omentous Events Russian Satellite Revolts, Mideast Power Politics, Eisenhower's Re-election Among Leading Stories By EDWARD GERULDSEN 1956 has been a year filled with great historical events - some happy, a great many tragic. Eisenhower Re-elected . . . In the national news, the single most discussed, most written about news story was the presidential election. Tension ran high for many months as President Dwight D. Eisenhower debated with him- self about whether or not to seek a second term in the White House. Because of his September, 1955 heart attack and a later ileitis opera- tion, there was considerable question for a time that he would under- take the strain of another four years in the world's toughest job. Finally, on February 28, after receiving the opinion of his physi- cians that he was well enough, the President declared, ... there is not the slightest doubt that I now can perform as well as I ever have, all the duties of the President ... "So far as I am concerned, I am confident that I can carry them indefinitely. Therefore, if the Republican party chooses to renominate me, I shall accept." And the Republican party did choose overwhelmingly to renomin- ate him, along with his 1952 ruInning mate, Richard M. Nixon. Although he hadn't planned to, the President .conducted a very vigorous campaign against his opponent for the second time, Adlai E. Stevenson. Ike was again the people's choice. He again defeated Stevenson by a landslide, rolling up a staggering plurality of 9,542,254 votes, thereby setting a new record for a Republican candidate. President Eisenhower's plurality in 1956 was second in history only to Franklin D. Roosevelt's 11,000,000-plus plurality over Alf Lan- don in 1936, the all time record. Integration in South .. . The second most prominent issue in the national news of 1956 was the struggle over integration in the South. Under the Supreme Court decision against segregataion in public schools, several Negroes, the most prominent among them Autherine Lucy, obtained court or- ders admitting them to Southern colleges, universities and secondary schools. The battles over segregataion were many and furious. They still continue, though now interest is centered on integration on the pri- mary and secondary school levels. The course of events saw strikes, boycotts, demonstrations, riots, bombing of homes and assaults, both of Negroes by whites and vice versa. The struggle also brought the resurrection of the Ku Klux Klan, and the organization of White Citizens Councils. In spite of all the furor, integration has made some progress, at least in a few states. Other states took extreme steps in efforts directed at finding a way around the Supreme Court edicts. Some made pro- visions for making all schools private institutions should they be See CHIEF, Page 6 Year's Top Sports News By STEVE HEILPERN Associate Sports Editor 1956 .. . Suez.. .

LXVII, No. 75 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1956 SIX PAGES Nehru Tells U.S., 'Peace Will Prevail' 'Danger of War Not Past' Says Premier WASHINGTON (P)-Prime Min- ister Jawaharlal Nehru of India told the American people yester- day "the danger of war is not past" but "peace will triumph." In a talk prepared for a 15- minute national radio-television broadcast Nehru reported on his, day-long talks with President Dwight D. Eisenhower Monday at Gettysburg, Pa. Nehru did not go into detail on what topics he and President Eisenhower discussed, but he said : "We have discussed many prob- lems which confront the world. "I can tell you that I have greatly profited by these talks. I shall treasure their memory rand they will help me in many ways in my thinking." Nehru appeared to be defending himself against some criticism that India is too close to the So- viet bloc when he said that India's policy flows from its determina- tion to "maintain friendly rela- tions with all countries." Such a neutral policy "does not mean submission to what we con- sider evil," he said. Nehru expressed "deeply felt sympathies" to persons suffering in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Referring to "the tragedies in Egypt and Hungary," he declared they had demonstrated that "the most powerful countries cannot revert to old colonial methods or impose their dominations over weak countries." Nehru returned with President Eisenhower yesterday from the President's farm at Gettysburg, Pa., some 80 miles away. Prof. Whit French, British Ask United Nations' Aid Claim Mistreatment of Nationals; Secretary Asked to Take Action UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. OP) - France and Britain called on United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold yesterday to take action to stop what they called the mistreatment of their na- tionals in Egypt. At the same time, Egypt circulated a memorandum to the General Assembly ,complaining that Egyptian nationals were being subjected to severe measures in Britain and France. As these charges flared, Hammarskjold was negotiating with Britain for the use of six salvage vessels without their crews and the British and French were demanding that Hammarskjold use their entire salvage fleet as a unit. British Fleet The row over use of the British-French fleet threatened to hold Sup the work of clearing the vital SG C To Hear Committee Reports Today A series of reports make up the Student Government C o u n c 1 agenda for its pre-holiday meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the Union's third-floor conference room.

Valery Giscard D'Estairg, mem- ber of the French National Assem- bly and parliamentary advisor to the French delegation, said in a speech to the Assembly that France wanted assurances from Egypt that expulsions and mis- treatment of French nationals in Egypt would stop. He charged that expulsion of French nationals was accompanied by arbitrary measures against the property and interests of French nationals in Egypt. French Complaint Sir Pierson Dixon of BritainI seconded the French complaint. Shortly before they spoke, thef United Nations'released a mem- orandum handed to Hammar- skjold by Egyptian Foreign Minis- ter Mahmoud Fawzi. It accused the British and{ French of killing 30 persons in; Port Said earlier this week, ar- resting a large number of inhabi- tants and taking away privateC property.l Meantime, the United Nations yesterday admitted Japan as its 80th member by unanimous vote of the General Assembly. Nixon Flies To Austria For Survey WASHINGTON (RP)-Vice-Pres- ident Richard M. Nixon, acting on orders from President Dwight D. Eisenhower, flew to Austria yes- terday for a first-hand survey aimed at producing "firm recom- mendations" for the handling of United States aid to Hungarian refugees. Before his special Air Force plane left from National Airport, Vice-President Nixon told a crowd of well wishers that he was carry- ing a message from President Eis- enhower to Austria's Chancellor Julius Raab. In Vice-President Nixon's words, it expresses the President's appre- ciation for "all that Austria has done" to help the scores of thous- ands of Hungarians fleeing from Soviet oppression. In Budapest, Hungary's Com- munist-controlled radio last night called Vice-President Nixon a re- actionary and leader in the United States "big stick policy," on the eve of his visit to neighboring Aus- tria. Saying Nixon planned "to visit the Austro-Hungarian border and inspect the situation of so-called Hungarian refugees," the radio charged that Nixon's political ca- reer had been marked by cam- paign scandals. It continued he had been in the forefront of the "witch hunt against progressive elements Communists in the United States." It mentioned his part in the in- vestigation that led to the con- viction and imprisonment of Al- ger His, former State Department official, on a coarge of perjury. Border Trip Canceled American and Austrian officials in Vienna Monday canceled plans for Nixon's trip close to the Hun- garian border. 'U' Rectves Resolution Dulles On Europe~s Security Assures Air Force Tests SAC Capabilities Twining Cites New Examination of B47 DENVER (R') - More than aI thousand B47 medium bombers, using aerial refueling, flew non- stop missions averaging 8,000 miles each during a two-week period ending Dec. 11. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, air chief of staff, disclosed yesterday' saying "this is the first time that the nation's Strategic Air Force has tested the operational capa- bility of its strike force in such large numbers during such a short period of time." 11. In an address to cadets of the Air Force Academy, Gen. Twining cited the incident as a "dramatica example of our deterrent airpow- er," demonstrating "our capabil- ity to launch a retaliatory strike force in minimum time." The operation meant that with- in a fortnight the swift bombers piled up a total of eight million miles. Gen. Twining noted that. just before the B47 flights, the Strategic Air Command had "dra- matically demonstrated the poten- tiality of our B52, the world's hardest-hitting, longest-ranging jet bomber." Eight of the B52 heavy bombers1 made simulated combat "missionst circling the North American con - tinent and ranging afar north as the North PoleB Gen. Twining said that "all eight bettered the previous B52 record of 24 hours aloft, and in doing so, flew=non-stop flights as long as 17,000 miles." The flights of the medium B47s were described as being 'over the North American continent and the North American continent and the artic regions." Gen, Twining did not disclose specific routes or bases from which the thousand planes operated. Univeri'Sty tudett Killed In Accident A University student. Gerald Schindler, '58. age 20. was killed in an automobile accident early1 Sunday morning near Manisteej ON NORTH CAMPUS Prospective Dormitory To Hold 2,400 Students By RICHARD TAUB Administration is tentatively planning to house from 2,000 to 2,400 students in its projected North Campus residence hall unit, Francis C. Shiel, manager of service enterprise said yesterday at a meeting of the Residence Halls Board of Governors.; The unit will have common central facilities for men and women. According to Peter A. Ostafin, director of housing, construction will be a two stage project. The first section to house about 1200 students will be finished in 1959. However, by expansion of its central unit and development of additional wings, the building will house another 1200 students by 1961. According to plans now being worked out, the building will take one of two forms: the "pinwheel type," a large central unit, to which housing sections will be con- &- nected; or the "X" where wings of the building cross each other, the center providing the common facilities. Either form will help to maxi- mize advantages derived from men and women sharing common fa- cilities. Inter-House Council presented a list of preliminary recommenda- tion to the board to show this group, "North Campus Housing Committee's thinking on develop- ment of the dormitory." Report called for maximum of centralized facilities for men and women. This includes common dining rooms, which could be separated for different occasions, common recreational facilities, and common entrances and lob- bies where possible, "to make the situation a natural one." Reds i U' Students Receive Fines Two University students were fined yesterday for drinking viola- tions in Ann Arbor. Thomas LaDendorf, '57, 20 years old, was fined a total of $48.30 onx two charges, showing evidence of driving after drinking and poses- sion of intoxicants. He pleaded guilty to both charges. LaDendorf was apprehended by Ann Arbor Police on December 16 while driv- ing the wrong way on a one-way street. _e On Monday, Stuart Hahn, '57 was fined $21.25 for serving liquor to a minor at a fraternity pre- party. To Oppose Hostile Rin Of Satellites U.S. Desires Orderly Evolution to Freedom WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles of- fered Russia fresh assurances yes- terday the United States would oppose converting Eastern Euro- pean satellites into a ring of hos- tile nations surrounding Russia. The Eisenhower administration, he said, has no desire to capitalize on the present turmoil in Russia's Communist empire in this way, It wants only an orderly evolution of efforts by satellite governments to gain more freedom from Russian control, he said. Sec. Dulles made these other points in replying to questions: Tito Visits A visit by Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito for talks with President Dwight D. Eisenhower would serve a useful purpose. Streamlining of American forces deployed overseas is being con- sidered to make them more mobile to gear defenses to new weapons, presumably atomic bombs and missiles. Blocked Canal The blocked Suez Canal must be opened as swiftly as possible to avoid increasing the economic hardships now being felt by nearly all countries who relied on this strategic waterway for commerce, The United States 5emains res- olutely opposed to admitting Com- munist China to the United Na- tions-despite the presence in Washington of India's Prime Min- ister Nehru, who favors such a move. No 'Cold War' The United States he said em- phatically, does not desire a return to the "cold war" with Russia which would set back the friend. lier Soviet-American relations that developed after the Big Four sum- mit conference in Geneva in July of 1955. As if to tempt Soviet leaders, Sec. Dulles said that' if Soviet satellites succeed in winning gen- uine independence it would1 justify a sweeping review of American for- eign policy. University Choir To Sing Tonight University Choir and University Dies At 72 Professor Emeritus Albert E. White of the metallurgical engi- neering department, also director emeritus of the Engineering Insti- tute, died yesterday morning at St. Joseph's Hospital. Prof. White, 72 years old, had been a patient since July, follow- ing a cerebral hemorrhage. During his administration from 1920 to 1955, the Engineering Re- search Institute expanded from a handful of research projects to an $8 million per year organization. His research in the field of high-temperature metallurgy have been fundamental to the applica- tions of gas-turbine engines and jet aircraft power plants. Prof. White was a consultant in the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as a result of his specialization.

The resolution was a response to "the inhuman actions of the Com- munist leaders of Russia who are suppressing the Hungarian move- ment for independence." It was sent to all institutions of higher education in Western Europe. Prof. Graf translated it for the office of University President Harlan Hat- cher, which released it yesterday.
