LXVII, No. 105 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1957 EIGHT PAGES __ President Warns Mid-East Nations Says Communism Threatens Hard-Won Accomplishments WASHINGTON W)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower broadcast a warning to the Middle East countries yesterday that international 4 communism could "smash all their hard-won accomplishments over- night." He was speaking to all the world, on the 15th anniversary of the Voice of America overseas radio program. The speech was broadcast in 43 languages. But President Eisenhower centered on the Middle East, where some nations have trafficked with the Communists and others have tflirted with the idea of doing so. Israel i es tol Stands i>--- .. 1 Arabs Meet To Decide New :Policy CAIRO, Egypt (P)-The Arab summit conference opened yester- day to frame a common policy of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's doctrine for the Middle East. Well informed Arab sources said the United States stand on Israeli withdrawal from Egypt was the key to the acceptance or rejection of the doctrine by the four as- sembled chiefs of Arab states. Towering King Saud of Saudi Arabia gave the inside story of his recent talks in Washington to King Hussein of Jordan and Presi- dents Nasser of Egypt and Shukri .~Kuwatly of Syria. Well informed Arab sources pre- dicted King Saud's pro-American line will prevail at the meeting if the United States takes a firm stand for an Israeli withdrawal' from the Gaza Strip and Egypt. They believed any weakening of the United States on the issue may swing the balance in favor of the anti-Western views of Syria. Intimates of Saud said he is likely to regard any weakening as a personal affront and a betrayal by the United States. The informants said the upshot might be an order from Egypt to halt work on clearing the Suez Canal, the dismissal of United Nations police forces and Arab reliance on the Soviet Union. Senator Hits Soviet Rule UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (A')- Sen. William E. Knowland (R- Calif.) told the United Nations yesterday that 20 years of Soviet repression is the true cause of tension in Eastern Europe. Sen. Knowland, a member of the United States delegation, laid down a point-by-point indictment of Kremlin policy in answer to a Soviet demand that the United Nations condemn the United States for alleged subversive ac- tivity in Communist countries. Soviet Deputy V. V. Kuznetsov, Soviet deputy foreign minister, presented a reso- lution to the United Nations Spe- cial Political Committee, asking for the condemnation action. Similar moves have been defeated by overwhelming majorities in past years. The Republican minority leader declared bluntly that United States policy is based on the everlasting hope that the "captive peoples" of Eastern Europe will be permitted to "enjoy those fundamental rights and freedoms recognized in the United Nations Charter." Knowland Declares Sen. Knowland declared that by bringing charges against the United States, the Soviet Union "is merely trying to divert world at- tention from its own year-in and year-out program of using foreign Communist parties to subvert and undermine the governments of free countries all over the world." He blasted the Soviet charges of United States intervention in East- ern Europe as a "myth" designed to hide the act of "classic perfidy" in Hungary. He said the Kremlin's repressive actions stemmed from a "psychopathic concern" for secur- ity. His charges against the Russians in Eastern Europe included sup- pression of "legitimate demands" for national independence, the Tragic Example He cited Hungary as a tragic example of a nation ground under Soviet oppression. "While we are working to help build a world of freedom and justice among sovereign people, the masters of international com- munism are working constantly to tear down this kind of world," he said. The President's speech also con- tained an indirect appeal for the Senate to approve his Middle East resolution which the House has adopted, to provide for use of American forces in the Middle East, if necessary, and to authorize the spending of 200 million dollars annually there in United States economic aid. Strengthen Economies "I believe that the well being of the people of the Middle East requires the nations of that region to build up and strengthen their economies and institutions," he said. ''We want to see that kind of progress. My proposals fit right in with this purpose, for they sug- gested two things: "First, in order that this con- structive work may go on within these countries, they must be free of the menace of international communism, which could smash all their hard-won accomplish- ments overnight. ' Assure Countries "And so we give these countries the assurance that if such a dan- ger develops, and if the United Nations machinery cannot deal with the danger, and a threatened country asks for help, it can count on our help. "So, behind the protective armm of this assurance, the real creative work of progress can go on, and to speed this creative work, an extra measure of ecoonmic assist- ance for the area is included in my proposals." In an appeal to the religious convictions of countries menaced by communism, President Eisen- hower said its "avowed program is to destroy totally the religion, governments, institutions and tra- ditions of the Christian world, the Buddhist world, the Islamic world, the Judaic world, and the world of every religion and culture. "The Communist rulers then propose to substitute a whole new system of thought and control dictated from the Communist party headquarters." Concert Set For Tonight The Cincinnati Symphony Or- chestra under the direction of Thor Johnson will present a concert at 8:30 p.m. today in Hill Aud. Included in tonight's program will be "Music for the Royal Fire- works" by Handel, "Concerto No. 4, in G major for piano" by Beeth- oven and "Symphony No. 1, in F minor, Op. 10," by Shostakovitch. A graduate of the University, Thor Johnson had become a mem- ber of the faculty and also con- ductor of the University Musical Society. During this same period, he also conducted the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra. He has also conducted the New York Philharmonic Symphony Or- chestra, the Julliard Orchestra and was appointed oermanent conductor of the Cincinnati Sym- phony. For his Ann Arbor concert, he will be assisted by Mayne Miller, a distinguished young pianist.

University and Oakland. TEAMSTERS: Union Counsel Resigns Before Senate Inquiry WASHINGTON (RP)-The general counsel for the Teamsters Union, J. Albert Woll, resigned yesterday on the eve of a Senate probe into the union's affairs. Woll said he quit because legal work had grown too great for him tohandle and still take care of other clients. A special Senate committee is due to open an investigation today into alleged racketeering in labor and industry. Chairman J. L. McClellan (D-Ark.) said an alleged effort of hoodlums and teamsters officials to organize gambling and vice in 'Portland, Ore., will be the first Ben-Gurion's Security Plan Approved Wins Confidence Vote In Israeli Parliament JERUSALEM (P)-Prime Mini- ster David Ben-Gurion's repeated demands for security first on the Egyptian front won an overwhelm- ing endorsement yesterday in Is- rael's Parliament. - The vote of confidence was 72- 29 on his firm insistence that guaranteed security and freedom of shipping must precede any withdrawal of Israeli troops from Egypt and Gaza. What Ben-Gurion told Parlia- ment indicated no change from the position he took last Thurs- day at the outset of debate. Abba Eban At that time Ambassador Abba Eban was getting a fill-in here for relay to the State Department in Washington. The 70-year-old-leader told the Knesset Parliament in a major policy speech that Israel faces its most, serious struggle since it fought for its life nine years ago. In the face of opposition charges that he was paving a way for com- promise on the withdrawals, Ben- Gurion reiterated his Thursday stand. Solve Problem He said, "We want if possible to solve the problem of Gaza in cooperation with the United Na- tions." But he made plain. a prior con- dition is that Egypt must not be allowed to return to the disputed strip. He also stood firm on his often-' repeated demand that Israel must have unrestricted access to the Gulf of Aqaba, leading to Israel's southern port of Eilat. Egyptian guns barred Israeli shipping be- fore the Israeli invasion of the area. Opposition Party In addition to the hostility of opposition parties, Ben-Gurion had faced some opposition within his own five-party coalition. Crit- ics charged Ben-Gurion's speech last Thursday had opened the way for yielding Gaza without guaran- tees against Egyptian raids from Gaza bases. During a full day of interparty sessions, Ben-Gurion gained ap- proval of a compromise Foreign Affairs C o m m i t t e e resolution which called for continued nego- tiations "in the spirit of the Knes- set resolution of Jan. 23 on Gaza and the Gulf of Aqaba." office or the police department to go on reviewing new books." The Detroit Police Department maintains a 10-man censor bu- reau which reads all paperback books offered for sale in Detroit. The rulings of this bureau often are applied by other cities in the state. Inspector Melville E. Bullach said: "I think the law might need rewriting." Law Revision Michigan's Solicitor General, Edmund E. Shepherd, said at Lansing that Frankfurter's opin- ion indicated that the state "might have to consider a revi- sion of all our laws bearing on ob- scene literature." ' Shepherd withheld further comment until he could read the opinion. The law was tested by Pocket Books, Inc., oftNew York City in cooperation with the Detroit Po- lice Department. Alfred E. Butler, Detroit repre- sentative of Pocket Books, was ar- rested after selling a copy of "The Devil Rides Outside" to Inspec- tor Herbert W. Case, now retired. Scholarship Applications Due Monday Petitioning ends Monday, March 4 for two Alumni Student Leader Fellowships offering a year's study in Great Britain. Closing date for petitions will not extend to March 30, as pre- viously announced in The Daily. Qualifications for the scholar- ships, valued at $1,600 each, are acceptability to graduate school at the University and a record of leadership in student activities, according to Anne Woodard, '57, of Student Government Council. Petitions are available in Rm. 1538 Student Activities Bldg. and must be returned by Monday. Hopes High On Mideast Israeli Likely, Withdrawal Johnson Says WASHINGTON (A)-Sen. Lyn- don Johnson of Texas, the Senate's Democratic leader, reported yes- terday that prospects of an Israeli withdraw 1from disputed Egyp- tian territory are brightening. The situations seems to be "somewhat more hopeful," he told reporters after a talk with Secre- tary of State John Foster .Dulles. "So long as the parties to the Middle East dispute keep talking, there 'is a possibility of settle- ment," Sen. Johnson added. Ike's Resolution Sen. Johnson urged the Senate to act speedily on President Dwight D. Eisenhower's resolution under which the United States would de- clare its readiness to use American armed forces to help any Middle Eastern nation against Communist aggression. Sen. Johnson said he would seek to limit debate on the resolution to hurry up the vote, but Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) opposed this. Sen. Morse said he didn't think there was any reason for urgency and that the Senate shouldn't vote until "a foreign policy for the Middle East has been developed." 'Protect Oil' He said he wasn't interested in a policy "just to protect oil." American oil companies have large interests in the Middle East, par- ticularly in Saudi Arabia. Sen. Johnson's optimism about an Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the Gulf of Aqaba seemed to be supported by a deci- sion of the United Nations Gen- eral Assembly yesterday to post- pone a debate on sanctions against Israel. MICHIGAN BAN OUT: Supreme Court Rules, Obscenity Law Illegal- DETROIT (1') - State and Detroit city officials indicated last night that a new law covering obscene books probably will have to be enacted by the state legislature. The Supreme Court of the United States yesterday unanimously overruled a 116-year-old Michigan law banning the sale of obscene books. Ralph Garber, chief assistant prosecutor of Wayne County, said he would read the decision written by Justice Felix Frankfurter to see if the entire statute had been found unconstitutional. New Obscenity Law "I suppose the thing to do is ask the legislature to write a new law to control obscene literature," Garber said. "Until we get one there'll be no point in either this- re. Firm Israel Gives No New Plan For Solution Private Talks Fail; UN Assembly Debate Scheduled for Today UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (P)- Ambassador Abba Eban of Israel was reported yesterday to have returned from Jerusalem without any compromise plan for solving the Israeli-Egyptian deadlock. An authoritative diplomatic source who could not be identified said there had been no change in the situation despite Eban's dash to talk to Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. Crisis in Open He said the crisis will have to be fought out in the open in the United Nations Assembly. The Assembly will meet this morning to dispose of the Cyprus case involving Britain, Greece and Turkey. Diplomats said it then would turn to the Middle East crisis. Eban talked twice with Secre- tary General Dag Hammarskjod. They met for the first time at noon for a 70-minute conversation at United Nations headquarters. After that talk, the Assembly debate on sanctions against Israel, set for yesterday afternoon was called off. Their second talk was held early last night. Several methods of Assembly action short of drastic sanctions were being discussed in United Nations halls. Withdrawal One course reported under seri- ous consideration would be a reso- lution noting that Israel would withdraw, that the United Nations Emergency Force would move in behind Israeli troops, that the Assembly would give assurances of no more belligerent acts, and that Hammarskjold would go to the Middle East to consult on perma- nent arrangements. Canadian Foreign Secretary Les- ter B. Pearson continued discus- sions with delegates on one possi- ble course. Blasts Ike's Use of UN WASHINGTON (P)-Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) said yester- day that the Eisenhower adminis- tration is following a disastrous "formula for inertia" in relying almost wholly on the United Na- tions to solve the Middle East crisis. Sen. Mansfield, assistant Senate Democratic leader, said the ad ministration has shown a "lack of policy" in handling events which he said were drifting in "a highly dangerous direction." "There has been temporizing," he said. "Politics, domestic and in- ternational, have been played. We have done everything, so it seems to me, except face up to the problem and take the minimal steps necessary to keep peace in the Middle East." Sen. Mansfield said he had seem "no evidence of eagerness" on the part of the executive branch either to work for correction of those weaknesses or to take the initiative to seek peace by other means. Ap-polintment Causes'Furor WASHINGTON (-) - Presidenb Dwight D. Eisenhower's appoint- ment of a $1,000 contributor tQ 1956 Democratic campaign funds as ambassador to West Germany threw Senate Republicans into an uproar last night.

He has been reported under pressure for several weeks to quit either the teamsters or the AFL- CIO jobs. Woll denied having been given such an ultimatum. The AFL-CIO has pledged to co-operate with the McClellan group to clean house in organized labor. Sen. McClellan has said the 1 -million-member teamsters' or- ganization - the country's largest labor union-will figure promi- nently in the probe. HOOSIERS' LATE COMEBACK FAILS: Basketball Team Stuns Indiana Quintet, 87-86 By JAMES BAAD Michigan's basketball team re- vealed its split personality again last night, throwing off the mem- ories of dark road trips and em- bracing the home court to topple Indiana's Conference leaders, 87-86. The good-sized crowd at Yost Field House saw its erratic five get phenomenally hot in the late minutes before and early minutes after the halftime break, to jump 18 points ahead of the Hoosier in- vaders. Hoosiers Fall Short Then came the ever-rising sus- pense to the final horn as Indiana crept dangerously close, only to fal short. The victory was the first for Michigan over Indiana in seven years. The Wolverine win coupled with Illlinois' upsetting Ohio State and Michigan State's victory over Wisconsin, leaves the standings only slightly joggled.
