Sl111 S1 101 By DIANE LaBAKAS Hotly contested races for the state chairmanship and Regents posts appear imminent at the Republican state convention in Detroit tonight and tomorrow. Approximately 10 candidates are presently seeking the state chairmanship position vacated by retiring John Feikens. Larry Lind- emer, Lansing, and J. Addington Wagner, Battle Creek, are leading in the chairmanship race according to late reports. "Lindemer's outstate strength has been increasing," Ann Arbor Rep. George W. Sallade declared. He said since Washtenaw County does not use the unit rule in its voting, the delegation would be CONTEMPT: Cong res Cites Four T eamsters WASHINGTON (A') -- Four Teamsters Union officials who de- fied a Senate inquiry group were cited for contempt of Congress Wednesday by the Senate Govern- ment Operations Committee. The committee voted 12-0 in favor of prosecuting Einar O. Mohn, executive vice-president of the big union; Frank W. Brew- ster, head of the Teamsters' 11- state Western Conference; Nugent Lapoma, secretary-treasurer of Local 174 in Seattle; and Harry Reiss, secretary-treasurer of Lo- cal 284 in New York. The vote was taken behind closed doors and reported by Chairman John L. McClellan (D-' Ark.). It followed similar action taken by the Senate Investigations subcommittee. If the Senate accepts the par- ent committee's recommendation the contempt cases will be sent to the Justice Department for fur- ther proceedings. Conviction for contempt of Congress carries max- imum penalties of a year in jail, a $1,000 fine or both. The labor leaders refused to an- swer questions or turn over sub- poenaed union documents when summoned before the subcommit- tee last month. The subcommittee was looking into alleged labor racketeering. SAB To Open Next Frday The new Student Activities Building, tentatively scheduled for completion Feb. 1, will not be ready for use until Feb. 15, accord- ing to Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis. Although major construction has been completed, there are still minor installation and painting jobs to be finished. Office furni- ture, supplied by the University must also be installed before open- ing the building. Student organizations have post- poned moving in until Feb. 16. Members of the Dean's office will move the preceding day. A meeting of the SAB Adminis- tration committee will be held at 3 p.m. today in the Union to final- ize moving plans. chase of urgently needed cotton, modern farm machinery, new mining equipment, fats and oils, chemical fertilizer and grains for cattle food. Diplomatic officials said the Po- lish economy, weakened by years of unprofitable goods shipments to Russia, is hard pressed. They said cooperation by the Western Powers to expand trade is vitally important to enable the Poles to maintain the independ- ence of Moscow domination which they asserted last October. Decision Late The United States' decision on a date for the talks to begin comes many waeks after it was expected. Last October, President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared publicly the United States was prepared to assist the more independent Po- land.. The Poles had their delegation ready to come to Washington for weeks. Authorities here explain the de- lay as the result of a series of events, among them the Middle East crisis with its demands on top United States policy makers, the election and the illness of Sec- retary of State John Foster Dulles. Initial reaction on Capitol Hill was favorable. Rep. Thomas Gor- don (D-Ill.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he could think of "no better use" for farm products of which this country has a surplus. 1V"I 111 0tS Fines Almost 250 students received $10: fines for violating University park-{ ing regulations last semester, Joint. Judiciary Chairman Herb Wander, '57, said yesterday. He said such violations were commonly the result of misunder- standing of the restrictions on parking in University lots. Signs which restrict parking tot holders of "permits" refer nor- mally to parking permits, not simply vehicle registrations. Wan- der urged all prospective parkers! to read signs in front of lots care- fully. He added that further confusion over regulations commonly result- ed when students falsely assumed lots. containing meters are not re- stricted, or when students failed to realize parking restrictions1 apply to registered student ve- hicles whether or not the car is parked by a student. Non-student wives of students were frequent violators, Wander commented. Funds collected from fines will eventually be used to build more parking facilities. -Photo C "DO-IT-YOURSELF" ELECTRONIC COMPUTER-University electrical been working since 1955 on this electronic computer capable of adding1 millionths of a second.

One day each week, Thursday, has been reserved for polio inocu- lations because students applied for the shots in such large num- bers prior to Christmas. Over 500 students received polio immunization on the Thursdays of examination week and registra,- tion week, Dr. Beckett said. Yesterday Health Ser :ice of- ficials recorded one of the largest number of inoculations given in a single day when more than 500 students received shots by 3 p.m. with still two hours and possibly another 100 students remaining. Dr. Beckett said a close ap- proximation of the number of stu- dents inoculated so far this year would not be possible for several weeks but he estimated the num- ber "runs well up in the thou- sands." According to Dr. Beckett the new system of giving shots one day weekly "is much more effic- lent for both the student and Health Service personnel." "A student can pick up his health card, receive his shot and pay for it i five minutes," Dr. Beckett said. Dr. Beckett mentioned the num- ber of stu:dents applying for in- fluenza shots has been "very slight" this year, probably because there has not yet been an indica- tion of any kind of a flu epidemic. He added, however, facilities for flu immunization are available to all students between the hours esplit but the majority would vote for Lindemer. Washtenaw County chairman Kenneth MacDonald agreed 35- year-old Lindemer has gained much support but added the older members have recognized Linde- mer's strength and are doing more campaigning for 45-year-old Wag- ner. "Both candidates are well quali- fled," MacDonald asserted, "but young Matthew Buder of Genesee County, who is similar to Linde- mer, should not be counted out.'" , Four candidates are supposedly running for the two Regents posts. Republicans presently outnumber the Democrats on the Board of Regents, 6-2. Incumbent Alfred B. Connable. Kalamazoo, is rumored to be op- posed by either K. T. Keller, chairman of the Chrysler Corp. board, or one of Keller's choices. Mrs. Ethel Jocelyn Watt, Birm- ingham, will be opposed by Frank Gorman, member of the Detroit Board of Education for 24 years. Arabs Agree Wit-h Dulles On All Points WASHINGTON (P)-The deputy foreign minister of Saudi Arabia said last night after a long con- ference with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles that "we have agreed on everything we have dis- cussed." His words indicated full under- standing has been reached on such issues as continued American use of the Dhahran air base and a military aid program for Arabia. Shaikh Yusuf Yasin, the deputy foreign minister, Finance Minister Shaikh Mohammad Surur and Ambassador Shaikh Abdullah Al- Khayyal conferred with Dulles and other officials for about three and one-quarter hours. Upon leaving Dulles' office, Yas- in was asked whether the issue of arms of Saudi Arabia had been discussed, he replied: "Everything we have talked about we have agreed on."

COMMUNICATIONS, DIETICIANS: Dorm Food Trouble Spots Revealed by Study closed, "there would undoubtedly be a serious upward pressure" on crude prices, that "United States Gulf prices would be the ones most affected." That statement was shown to have been made Sept. 19 by S. P. Coleman, head of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. Coleman's company is one of 15 which have joined in the Middle' East Emergency Committee, under' over-all government supervision, to help Europe meet its needs in the light of a shut-off of Middle Eastern oil which used to come through Suez. 1'/ Billion Cost In yesterday's inquiry session, Smith estimated the cost of the oil-to-Europe program at one and one-half billion dollars and said if that is correct, increased costs should be openly charged to eco- nomic aid instead of American oil consumers. Smith said customers of his own company would have their aggre- gate bill increased by six billion dollars through "the sudden and enormousincrease in fuel oil prices at the refineries."~ 'Unlimited Inflation' "Certainly an increase of 30 to 40 per cent in the cost of such a basic commodity as fuel will have unlimited inflationary effects na- tionwide." He said the price increase had been about 75 cents per barrel of 42 gallons of fuel oil. "It is my hope that after you members of Congress and the. President have become acquainted with the devastating effects the spiraling fuel costs are having on the State of Florida, and the na- tion as a whole, you will be able to persuade the oil industry to roll back their prices," he said.

By RICHARD TAUB Dormitory food has been in the limelight since the demonstrations in December. There always have been and always will be complaints about institutional cooking. But despite the University's claim that "griping about food is a time-honored national student tradition," a study of the food set-up indicates trouble-areas. One of these is the lack of communication at all levels of the residence halls system. Overlapping Authority Communication difficulties exist within the administration. Two staffs, academic and business, have jurisdiction over areas which occasionally overlap. had reached serious proportions a week before the disturbance. Even communications between student dorm government and students were defunct. Shortly be- fore the riot IHC President Bob Warrick, '57E, told Vice-President for Student Affairs James Lewis there was no serious problem. Knew About Demonstration Ironically, many students were unaware that house service com- mittees had been set up to study food complaints. One house president knew a demonstration was being planned a week before the event. And a student worker had told South Quad's head dietician that trouble was brewing. Yet people on the administrative level "were unaware" there was food trouble. This problem seems far from4 not to do anything on the com- mittee just yet. 'Quality' Controversy Much of the controversy revolves around quality of the food and operations of University Food Service. Many of the rumors fly- ing through the residence halls are not true. Contrary to common belief, food service does not wait for the market to drop out on a product before extensive purchas- ing. Most of the canned and frozen goods are bought before school starts. According to Herbert Wag- ner, food service manager, food is bought during the canning season when it is generally cheapest. A tour through the larger store- rooms reveals labels on the frozen and canned foods found in any supermarket. Bake Own Bread Yet because the business opera- tion is so complex, the academic staff is often unaware of. business policies. The food problem points this up. It concerns both groups- the business staff financially and the academic for student welfare. ness staffers to explain policies and activities. So far none have. Communications are clouded on other levels as well. Both Leoiard A. Schaadt, business manager of Residence Halls, and Gilbert Lutz, r .
