Bloodless Revolt
Spihts Indonesia
Rebel Military Regime Established
To Rule over 15,000,000 Indonesians
JAKARTA, Indonesia (R)-A rebel group proclaimed the instal-
lation of a military regime over East Indonesia yesterday.
President Sukarno's Communist-backed "guided democracy" plan
was regarded even by an army spokesman in Jakarta as a big factor
in this challenge to Jakarta's rule.
The bloodless coup spread the unrest set off by the Sumatran
revolt in the West last December over economic and political issues
that still are unresolved.
Informed sources said they were related, that the East In-
donesians had but waited for Sumatra to lead the way and that a

Conference
On Religion
To Begin
By JOHN WEICHER
Lectures, luncheons, recitals,
and a panel 'discussion will high-
light All-Campus Conference on
Religion tomorrow through Satur-

University Pr es i d ent Harlan
Hatcher keynoted the week's ac-
tivities with a statement yester-
day:
"The period in a student's life
from the age of eighteen to twen-
ty-two is one of profound import-
ance. The chances are that dur-
ing his campus days he will have
opened up to him many new vis-
tas of life, of its infinite variety
and possibility. There is also a,
strong likelihood that he will re-
examine the basis of his youth-
ful faith.
Understanding of the Good
"If he is diligent and earnest in
his quest, he will find that behind
the changing front of our factual
knowledge is a deeper sense and
understanding of the good and the
permanent which links and gives
meaning to men's lives.
"Out of this perception he will
learn how to grow in grace as well
as in knowledge, and build a ma-
ture faith upon which his educa-
tional experience can rest in hap-
piness and peace."
Tuesday the conference contin-
ues with a faculty-student panel
discussion at 8 p.m. in Rackham
Lecture Room on the subject:

dent for Student Affairs James A.

dent Jean Scruggs; Daily city edi-
tor Lee Marks and Union Execu-
tive vice-president Fred Trost.

nesota University philosophy de-
partment will speak at 4:15 p.m.
in Auditorium A, Angell Hall, on

cheon at 12:15 p.m. in the Union.

ting students to attend Ash Wed-

"chain reaction" might be ex-
pected in other islands.
Bu oNo Shooting
But no shooting was disclosed
and the affected area was re-
ported calm.
A 51-man group under the
leadership of Lieutenant Colonel
Ventie Sumual, 35 years old, a
handsome former bodyguard of
President Sukarno, struck at 3
a.m., in the Celebes, Moluccas and
the Lesser Sunda 'Islands-home
to 15 million of Indonesia's 80
million people.
They installed Governor A. P.
Pettarani of the Celebes as mili-
tary governor of all the area and
announced they were quickly tak-
ing over civilian administration of-
fices under a proclamation by Su-
mual of a state of war and siege.
"May God bless us," the decla-
ration said.
Greater Autonomy
Like the Sumatran dissidents,
the East Indonesian rebels de-
manded greater autonomy and a
bigger share of the money their
work and products bring thena-
tion in foreign trade.
If these fabled spice islands have
decided to go it alone, the central
government would find it hard to
stop them. They are spread out at
such a distance-up to 2,400 miles
-that some went entirely unmo-
lested during the Japanese occu-
pation of Indonesia in World War
II.
But the rebels said they do not
want to leave the republic.
Their avowed targets are Pre-
mier Ali Eastroamidjojo's govern-
ment red tape, the rarity of re-
g io n a 1 improvements and the
transfer to the government seat in
crowded Java of the bulk of the
money they raceive in foreign
trade.
They want at least 70 per cent
of their foreign trade earnings;
spent in East Indonesia.

ELECTION UNREST:
Thailand's Premier
Declares Emergency
BANGKOK, Thailand (A)-Premier P. Pibulsonggram declared a
state of emergency in Thailand yesterday, charging that opposition
groups were plotting to overthrow the government.
Considerable unrest stemmed from dissatisfaction with last Tues-
day's nationwide elections.
Bangkok remained calm and little notice was taken of tanks,
troops and police posted to guard public buildings, foreign embassies
and main thoroughfares.
But rumors of an attempted coup d'etat persisted. These stemmed
mainly from the fact that General Sarit Thanarat was elevated today

Senat(
Ike Appeals
For Support
On Mid-East
Resolution's Passage
Expected This Week
WASHINGTON (P) - Respond-
ing to an urgent appeal from
President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
the Senate yesterday defeated,
58-28, a move to deny him auth-
ority to spend 200 million dollars
for military-economic aid in the
Middle East.
This action cleared the way for
passage of the Middle East reso-
lution, probably early this week.
The resolution also would de-
clare a readiness to use Ameri-
can military forces to block any
open Communist aggression in
the Middle East.
The House already has passed
its version of the resolution which
contains som e wh at different
wording on the use of United
States troops.
Earlier in the day, President
Eisenhower urged Senate reten-
tion of the military-economic aid
provisions, saying in a letter"we
can not wage peace with arms
alone."
The letter was read to the Sen-
ate by Republican Leader William
F. Knowland of California.
Elimination of authority to pro-
vide friendly Middle East nations
with arms and economic aid,
President Eisenhower declared,
"would gravely impair our abil-
ity to help these nations preserve
their independence."
Thirty eight Republicans and
20 Democrats joined in defeating
the amendment sponsored by
Senator Richard Russell of Geor-
gia and several other Democrats.

Note to Israel
WASHINGTON K) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower sent a new
letter to Israel's Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion yesterday as
United States officials sought to
end Israel's delay in withdrawing
her Sinai troops.
The White House announced
dispatch of the letter as Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
and Israeli Ambassador Abba
Eban met in secret for an hourJ
at Sec. Dulles' home in Washing-
ton's Rock Creek Park section.
The meeting, of which the State
Department said nothing until it
was over, was at Eban's request.
He and Sec. Dulles put their+
heads together, officials said, in
an effort to devise a way to calm
Israeli fears which apparently
are blocking Israel's planned+
withdrawal. -

DOUBLE WINNER-Michigan's Olympic swimming star Dick

in the 220-yard freestyle. He also won the 100-yard freestyle later
in the meet, to aid the Wolverines in defeating Ohio State, 61-44.
Wolverine Swim Squad
Outclasses OSU,61-44
By SI COLEMAN
Ohio State's domination of Big Ten swimming has ended.
Michigan's swimming team completely outclassed the Buckeyes
yesterday afternoon in the new varsity pool, defeating them, 61-44.
What was supposed to be a meet between the Conference's two
unbeaten teams in which either squad could emerge victorious turned
out to be a one-sided affair with the outcome never seriously in doubt.
No one individual person can be singled out as being responsible
for this well-earned win. It was a 100% team victory. Michigan's de-
pendable, Dick Hanley and Cy Hopkins, once again captured several
firsts. But the second and third place finishes of Don Adamski in the
backstroke, Dick Mehl in the 100-Q

C. E. Whittaker
To High Court
WASHINGTON (R) - Charles
Evans Whittaker, 56 - year - old
Kansas City jurist with long ex-
perience as a trial lawyer, was
nominated for the Supreme Court
yesterday by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
Whittaker, a Republican who
has been. on the federal bench
since 1954, was chosen for the
vacancy left by the retirement-last
Monday of Associate Justice Stan-
ley F. Reed, a Democrat.
The nomination puts two of
President Eisenhower's Supreme
Court appointments before the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
The committee has been holding
hearings on the nomination of
William J. Brennan, New Jersey
Democrat who has been sitting
with the Court under a recess
appointment since last Oct. 15.
If, both nominations are con-
firmed by the Senate, the.-Supreme
Court will be composed of five
Democrats and four Republicans.

Radio Announcement
Declaration of the state of emer-
gency-a step short of martial
law-was announced over the Thai
radio by the Premier and Gen.
Sarit.
Both called for calm in the face
of tensions arising from wide-
spread charges of stuffed ballot
boxes and other irregularities in
Tuesday's fiercely contested voting.
Pibulsonggram's party, the Seri
Manangasila, was reported to have
won a commanding lead over seven
opposition parties in votes counted
so far. Results from five provinces
are still awaited.
Won Seats
The Premier and six of his eight
Cabinet ministers won assembly
seats in Bangkok voting, but two
high ranking officials were _ de-
feated by candidates of the oppo-
sition Democratic party.
In the provinces counted thus
far, the government party had won
45 of 160 seats at stake, while the
seven opposition parties split up
another 45. Half of the 320-seat
assembly is elected, the other half
appointed.

yard freestyle, Pete Fries in two
freestyle events, and Fritz, Myers
in the individual medley and 440-
yard freestyle were the real back-
bone of the team victory.
From the beginning it was evi-
dent how much Michigan was 'up'
for the big event. Coach Gus Sta-
ger pulled Hopkins from the first
event-the 400-yard medley relay
-to save him for later compe-
tition. It paid off because the
Wolverines led all the way with
the team that was entered.
Every time Olympic star Dick
Hanley enters the water, the
crowd expects to witness the set-
ting of a new record of some kind.
Hanley did not-disappoint them as
he set a new pool record in the
220-yard freestyle, swimming the
distance in 2:10.

Lose Indoor
'Track Title'
By ROBERT BOLTON
. Special to The Daily
COLUMBUS, O.-The Indiana
track team swept Michigan off the
Big Ten Indoor throne here yes-
terday afternoon amid a fantastic
array of dropped batons, disquali-
fications, heartbreaks and tri-
umphs before a sellout crowd of
3,500 screaming fans in Ohio
State's French Field House.
Following the Hoosiers, who col-
lected 372 points, came Ohio
State with 311, Michigan ,State
with 303/5, and then Michigan,
ousted from the title for the first
time in two years, with 27 3/5.
The Wolverines grabbed off two
first places but faltered badly in
the hurdle events and broad jump
and scored only three points in
the distance event.
Captain Dave Owen took first
in the shot put as was expected
but what was not expected was
that Owen did not break Charle
Fonville's existing Conference in-
door mark of 56' 3 5/8".
Finally, on his next to last
heave, Owen hit 56' %" to win
easily.
The other Michigan first place
winner was Jim Pace in the 60-
yard dash.
The failure of key men to place
in their events greatly hurt the
Wolverines' chances.
Ermin Crownley's best effort in
the shot put was wasted when he
fouled by stepping out of the
circle. His 52'-plus heave would
have taken fifth place.
Another blow was dealt to Wol-
verine hopes when Lou Williams
failed to place in the broad jump
and another one when Robin Var-
ian faltered in the 1,000-yard run.
Right from the beginning of the
afternoon's activities it was ap-
parent that the meet would be
close, but no one expected the
three-ring circus that actually
transpired.
Going into the final event, the

Uncertainty
Hits Israeli
Government
Emergency Meeting
Held by Cabinet
Over Gaza, Aqaba
JERUSALEM W)-- Israel de-
layed last night the withdrawal
of its troops from the Gaza Strip
and the Gulf of Aqaba.
"It is not certain tonight and
at this very hour what is going to
happen," said Finance Minister
Levy Eshkol.
Prime Minister David Ben-Gu-
rion's Cabinet met for four hours
in an unprecedented Sabbath day
emergency session under mount-
ing pressure from Israeli critics
of the withdrawal agreement.
No Signal
The Cabinet then adjourned
without the signal to begin the
"full and prompt" withdrawal an-
nounced by Foreign Minister Gol-
da Meir to the United Nations
General Assembly Friday.
The finance minister hurried
from the Cabinet meeting to Tel
Aviv. He made his statement un-
derscoring Israel's uncertainty to
the opening session of the wom-
en's Zionist conference there.
Ben-Gurion sent a message to
the women's meeting saying Is-
rael is living through its most
critical hours while "the state is
engaged in a difficult struggle -
not only with its enemies but also
with its friends."
"I cannot say at the time of
sending this message," he con-
tinued, "whether we will succeed
in guaranteeing freedom of ship-
ping in the Tiran Straits and
turning Eilat into a major inter-
national port and whether we
shall succeed in keeping Egyptian
invaders out of the Gaza Strip
and insuring security for our set-
tlements in the. Negev."
Clarification Asked
The Cabinet called for clarifi-
cation of the United States posi-
tion.
Some ministers, were reported
angered at a statement in the
UN by. U.S. Delegate Henry Cab-
ot Lodge, who said the United
States understands the Israeli
declaration to mean the with-
drawal will be "immediate." Of-
ficials said the statement "fell
short of expectations."
A U.S. spokesman at United
Nations headquarters in New York
said: "It was a most carefully
worded statement. Israeli repre-
sentatives were fully informed in
advance of its content."
Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban
arranged to confer with Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
in Washington again last night
and report back in time for to-
day's Cabinet session.
The urgent Cabinet meeting
was held at Ben-Gurion's Jerusa-
lem home.
