"I'm glad to see someone finally made us a concrete proposal," commented Mayor William Brown. The Council postponed a decision on the request until later in the week, when a special meeting will be called.

Dulles 4Denies Deal I O With Israel t Claims U.S. Makes P No Secret Promises e WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary n of State John Foster Dulles was s reported to have told senators yes- terday the United States has made w n'o secret promises to support Is- $ rael's position in the Middle East. g Senators who came out of a ti closed meeting of the Foreign Re- p lations Committee before which is Sec. Dulles testified also said the secretary gave them an optimistic W report of conditions in the Middle P East. Fresh from a conference with w Goldta Meir, Israel's foreign min- fl ister, Sec. Dulles was said to have e been pressed as to whether this country had promised Israel to back up her claim of free passage e of ships through the Gulf of Aqa- s ba. im Expression of Hopes t Sec. Dulles was quoted as re- / plying there were no commitments beyond the expression of "hopes a and expectations" that Israel a withdrawal of military forces A from the Gaza Strip would lead to that country's having free pas- re sage through the gulf of Aqaba n and other gains. t Even before Sec. Dulles came w out of the Senate committee cc meeting, it seemed apparent that B Mrs. Meir had failed in her first effort to argue him into a tougher U.S. policy toward President Ga- f mal Nasser of Egypt. b Mrs. Meir flew dramatically to i Washington from Jerusalem amid le Israeli statements that her goal t was U.S. support of Israel's "stop Nasser" campaign. s SThree Hour Meeting h But no change in U.S. policy w showed up in the four-paragraph "v joint statement issued after she A met for more than three hours with Dulles and his aides. What it added up to was that Mrs. Meir seemed to have blunted her lance on the shield of Sec. I Dulles' adamant disinclination to l j abandon the U.S. friends-to-both policy in the Middle East. , At United Nations, N. Y. Mrs. Meir said later in the day that she made clear to UN Secretary d General Dag Hammarskjold that ye Israel will not agree to "a belli- di gerent Egypt" returning to the gr Gaza Strip, of Replying to a question of whether she thought Egyptian re- 1,( entry into Gaza could be undone, de she said, "It must be." on Meanwhile, Amercian officials a had new cause for alarm in the to troubled area. Sandi Arabia's for- eign minister, Crown Prince Fai- ni sal, arrived in Cairo for talks with M Nasser. tin Officials Alarmed tu This was a followup to Saudi Arabian statements that the Gulf ca of Aqaba is Arab territory. And wE it alarmed officails fearful lest ki Saudi Arabia get embroiled in the Egypt-Israel quarrel. If that hap- W pened, U.S. policy towards Saudi te Arabia would have to be reap- cc praised. Since Saudi Arabia has become gi a cornerstone of the Eisenhower do doctrine ir, the Arab world, this b makes it much more difficult for lie the United States to give Israel . the support she demands for her shipping, w Those who know King Saud say i Amerian nlACcure on the 4r a nored changes in Census Bureau olicies to the Bureau, United tates Senators and Representa- ives, the State Legislature, and ther college cities. Because the State redistributes ax monies on a per-capita basis, arcom said the City could lose ver a half million dollars in 1960 f the University's enrollment was ot included in the City's popula- ion. Ann Arbor Transit Corporation roposed to offer bus service from :30 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day except Sundays and holidays. Buses and drivers would be fur- Ashed by Transit Corporation. $200 in Good Faith The local corporation's proposal as accompanied by a check for 200 to the City as evidence of ood faith. Also Transit Corpora- ion said it would raise a $2,000 erfornance bond if the franchise s granted. Fares on the proposed system ould be twenty-five cents per Jerson. Although the Transit Corp. offer vas the first concrete one, an offer 'om a Washington, D.C. firm is xpected soon. Discontinue Services Last fall, Greyhound Lines, pres- nt operators of the City's transit ystem, cited financial losses and nformed the City they would have o discontinue their services. Greyhound originally set their sitting date as March 1, but this as later extended to April 6. so provision for the City toroperate bus line could be put on the .pril l ballot. In the letter to the Census Bu- eau, Larcom said the City is ow awarded $17.44 per student in ax redistribution. He said the City ould view with "extreme con- ern" any proposed change in the ureau's policy. Nine Months a Year Larcom said in his letter it was air for the City to count students ecause the City provides "govern- ent services" to most students at ast nine months a year and to he University on a year-around asis. Prof. Charles Joiner of the law chool, a council member, said he ad recently discussed the issue ith the mayor of Kalamazoo who welcomed leadership" from Ann rbor. qSU Student Demonstration nipped in Bud EAST LANSING W)-Eight stu- ents at Michigan State University esterday were up for possible isciplinary action as an out- owth of a boisterous celebration Spartan basketball prowess. The youths were among nearly 000 who staged an impromptu emonstration on campus that at ne point threatened to turn into "panty raid" on women's dormi- ries. The celebration, late Saturday ght ana early Sunday, followed ichigar State's 80-62 cage tri- nph over the University of Ken- cky at Lexington, Ky. Richard O.

Egypt moved more firmly into control of the Gaza Strip. Cairo radio said the Egyptian governor of Gaza announced UNEF had agreed to move out of its headquarters building in Gaza and leave all towns in the Strip within 48 hours. UNEF Moves The radio indicated the move- ment of UNEF forces to the Israeli frontier would be completed to- morrow. Many Egyptian military vehi- cles, mostly Soviet-made jeeps and trucks, showed up in Gaza. Aside from 50 military police- men who came in last week with the new Egyptian governor, the number of Egyptian military per- sonnel in the Strip could not be determined. Jail Goes to Egypt The UNEF turned over the Gaza jail to Palestinian police un- der Egypt's control. The principal task of the UNEF now is to prevent any infiltra- tion across the line from either the Gaza or Israeli side. The troops are under orders to warn any violators and to fire if the warning is not heeded. Groups Plan To Examine Theater Future The University Drama Board, and directors of the Dramatics Arts Center will meet tonight to discuss the future of Ann Arbor theater. Prof. Albert Marckwardt of the English department, chairman of the Drama Board, described to- night's meeting as "informal," adding "we're just going to talk over the problems of theater here, and do a little exploring in the area." DAC did not request the confer- ence, but accepted an invitation to meet from the Board, according to Richard Mann, Center president. The Drama Board was formal- ized Feb. 16 by the Regents as a nine-man advisory body to the annual Spring Drama Season, Prof. Marckwardt then precluded the group as "competition for DAC," but suggested that it might try to bring to Ann Arbor some of the touring professional pro- ductions at times other than the Spring program. At the same time, just five days before the DAC Board of Direc- tors announced suspension of the Center's professional dramatic series, Regent Eugene Powers, an- other member of the new body, in- dicated that if the Center should have to close, a group of students and professionals might be or- ganized by the drama season board to fill the vacuum.

Garcia took the oath as the Philippines' fourth president yesterday and ordered a state funer- al and national mourning for President Ramon Magsaysay. Magsaysay, 49 years old, hero of the young republic's fight to crush the Communist Huk movement and establish a stable democracy, died Sunday in a plane crash. The country faced the prospect of election turmoil in the choice of a new president next November. Returned From Australia Garcia, 60, vice president and foreign minister, had just returned from a Southeast Asia Treaty Organization meeting in Australia, when he raised his hand andt swore the oath in 'a brief cere- mony before Chief Justice Ri - chardo Paras. With Cabinet, Congress leaders and newsmen as his witnesses, the new president, who will serve un- til November, made a brief speech announcing he planned no change in the Cabinet. He said he would keep the post of foreign minister. Month of Mourning His first act was to arrange for a state funeral on March 22 for Magsaysay, and to order a month of national mourning after the rites. A veteran of 33 years in Con- gress, as governor of' his home province on Bhol Island and as vice president, the stocky Garcia is considered a strong proponent of Magsaysay's pro-Western poli- cies. . Magsaysay, who died with 26 other persons in the charred ruins of his twin-engine plane on a mountain side on Cebu Island, was returning to Manila from a series of commencement speeches in the south. Sole Survivor The only survivor, Nestor Mata of the Philippine Herald, told his newspaper the plane exploded be- fore it hit the mountainside. But the Herald said the news- man was suffering from shock when he dictated the story. He suffered burns and had but a 50- 50 chance r recovery. Not overlooking the possibility of sabotage, authorities placed a guard over the wreckage and the scorched jungle area. Fifield, Peek Claim Death Hurts West By -TAMMY MORRISON President Ramon Magsaysay's death was a severe blow to rela- tions between the Philippines and the United States, two University political scientists agreed yester- day. "The situation is a delicate one," Prof. Russell H. Fifield said. "We have extensive military bases there, but permanent agreements on them have not been concluded yet. With President Magsaysay dead, such agreements will be all the more difficult." Prof. George W. Peek noted, "the previous liberal policy will probably be weakened, because President Magsaysay's dynamism is gone." The world can expect "a sort of inter-regnum" until elections in November, according to' Prof. Fi- field. Senator Claro M. Recto, President Magsaysay's political ri- val, is the only person who has an- nounced his candidacy. Recto Wants Neutrality According to both Prof. Fifield and Prof. Peek, Sen. Recto is a strong Philippine nationalist who wants his country neutral and not committed to the United States, as President Magsaysay did. The present Filipino chief, Car- los P. Garcia, is "not a strong po- litical figure. President Magsay- say's death creates a vacuum in terms of present leadership," Prof. Fifield said. He also felt present Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Carlos P. Romulo's chances for the Philip- pine presidency were not good. Magsaysay Took Risks Both men were unwilling to hazard a guess as to the likelihood of sabotage in the President's plane-crash death. Prof. Fifield said, however, "The Communists would like to have seen him killed -he was their greatest foe. Presi- dent Magsaysay took a lot of risks and had a number of narrow es- for voters wno ca b uG oficesz o make reservations. The committee plans to sell the car for junk after the elections. Other "hoop-la" adding to the decor of spring elections is a "German Band" scheduled to play on the Diag. Balloting places will open by 9 a.m. and cloe by 5 p.m. today and tomorrow. A single poll in front of the General Library will stay open until 9 p.m. today. Should it rain today as pre- dicted, Childs said, voting booths will be moved indoors at their locations wherever possible. Post- ers will indicate any moves. 13 For Six t In the elections, 13 students are candidates for six SOC positions. Voters indicate their choices by numbering any or all the candi- dates in order of preference. SGC candidates are: Bob Bruton, '59; Scott Chrys- ler, '59; Art Epker, '58BAd; Dun- can Garrett, '58BAd; Ron Gregg, '60; Judy Martin, '59; James C. Park, '59; Jean Scruggs, '58; Nel Sherburne, '59; Ronald Shorr, '58; John T. Thomas, '58 BAd; Le- Anne Toy, '59; and Phil Zook, '60. Voters will also choose six Un- ion Student Directors (formerly vice-presidents) from a field of 12, and sophomores and first- semester juniors will vote for nine members of next year's J-Hop Committee. Juniors in the literary and en- gineering colleges and the educa- tion and business administration schools will elect class officers for the coming year. Athletics and Publications Also at stake in today's elections are three seats on the Board in Control of Student Publications and a single seat on the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athle- tics. Although Childs hopes for'a 10,- 000 vote, the highest for an SOC election came in November, 1956, when 7,120 students cast ballots. Ballots will be counted, follow- ing the closing of polling places tomorrow, in the Union Ballroom. Students must have their I-D cards with them in order to vote. Demand Rises For College Personnel Demand for all types of person- nel to staff colleges and univer- sities has increased 20 to 25 per cent during the past year. H. Glenn Ludlow, director of the University Bureau of Ap- pointments, said recently, "We're experiencing a real upsurge in de- mand for everything from instruc- tors to deans and presidents." Last year, the Bureau received notice of 2,000 college teaching vacancies. Ludlow expects this year's vacancies to reach 2,500. Sharply increased demand from both industry and higher educa- tion has created terrific competi- tion for Ph.D graduates. "As a re- sult' many colleges are simply not going to have enough properly trained personnel." The University, Ludlow notes, with one of the largest mathemat- ics departments in the country, expects to produce only eight Ph.D's in this field yearly. One large equipment firm recently told Jury Indicts Four Union Officials WASHINGTON (A) - A federal grand jury yesterday indicted two Teamsters Union vice presidents and two lesser teamsters officials on charges of contempt of Con- gress. The vice presidents indicted were Einar O. Mohn of Washing- ton, top administrator of the 1- million-member union under Pres- ident Dave Beck, and Frank W. chairman of the 11-state Western Brewster, Seattle, who is also Conference of Teamsters. Committee Recessed The indictments came during a recess in hearings of the Senate committee iflvestigating alleged racketeering in labor and indus- try. Brewster is to resume the witness stand when the hearings get under way again today. President Dwight D. Eisenhower meanwhile ordered federal in- come tax records opened for the rackets commtitee for the years 1945 to 1957. Robert Kennedy, the commit- tee's chief counsel, promptly said he would request access to the returns of Beck and Bewster. Beck so far has not met two com- mittee requests to turn over his personal financial records. Yesterday's indictments stem from mid-January proceedings of the Senate Investigations subcom- mittee. Sen. John McClellan (D- Ark) heads both the subcommit- tee and the special rackets com- mittee. Results of the subcommittee Work led McClellan to set up the broader rackets committee. Claim No Jurisdiction All 'four were charged with re- fusing to answer questions put by McClellan's Investigations sub- committee in an inquiry prelimi- nary to the present full-scale rackets probe. The four claimed the subcom- mittee lacked jurisdiction to in- vestigate labor unions. Brewster had appeared and answered ques- tions in the rackets investigations committee hearings. The White House, in announe- ing President Eisenhower's action giving the rackets committee ac- cess to income tax returns, said it was a step often taken to accom- modate Senate investigations. 'Generation' Campus Sale Generation, campus inter-arts magazine, goes on sale today and tomorrow. "The Bear, the Fox and Piran- dello", a farce in once act by Vic- tor Perera, grad., and "Song With- out Words," a Hopwood winning essay by Nancy Willard, '58, will be included. "A Pattern of Courtship" by Ronald Beck, '58, and "The Sec- ' ond Life" by David Lowe, grad., are the two short stories in the issue. This Generation features eleven poems by eight poets: Carin Claar. SCHOLLE SPEAKS: Unions Aiming To End Rackets By JOHN WEICHER Organized labor is determined to wipe out every vestige of racket- eering, Michigan CIO Council President Gus Scholle said last night. Speaking before the local Young Democrats, he said the number of union leaders engaging in racketeeriing of the type being investi- gated by the McClellan Committee is "very insignificant." The vast majority of union leaders, Scholle asserted, intend to drive these racketeers out of the trade union movement. Investigate Misuse He noted that at the time of the AFL-CIO merger in 1955 an Ethi- cal Practices Committee was set up to investigate cases of misuse of union funds and similar abuses. :ii}:v h .': }'
