No. 128 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1957 SIX PAGES President Shifts Military Leaders Names Air Force Gen. Twining As Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff WASHINGTON (P-President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday ordered the biggest reshuffle of top military leaders since the year he took office. Named to head the Joint Chiefs of Staff was Air Force Gen. Nathan F. Twining. Gen. Twining, a member of the Joint Chiefs since 1953, will succeed Adm. Arthur W. Radford as chairman on Aug. 15. Adm. Radford will step down after serving two two-year terms-the longest tenure which the law allows. President Eisenhower also nominated--subject to Senate confir- mation--a new Air Force chief of staff, a new deputy secretary of Eldersveld Claims Bias In City- Jobs Racial Preference Denied by Brown By JAMES ELSMAN Democratic mayoralty candidate Samuel Eldersveld of the political science department yesterday charged there is discrimination against Negroes in City depart- ments. Speaking at the University fac- ulty luncheon, Prof. Eldersveld supported his contention, remark- ing there are "no Negroes in the Fire Department and it is generally difficult for a Negro to get any- thing but a garbage collectors job." Contacted by The Daily, incum- bent Republican Mayor William Brown fired back at Prof. Elders- veld's charge, "That is a lie. I was instrumental in employing colored people in City Hall." Lists Departments The Mayor said employment pol- icy was set by the City Adminis- trator and department heads. He listed over five City departments which now employ Negroes. Prof. Eldersveld is on record as advocating a Human Relations Commission to work in the inte- gration area. Mayor Brown said he is also concerned with work in the human relations area, and remarked he appointed a Human Relations Committee to study existing condi- tions, but that they hadn't report- ed yet because "the Democratic member hasn't been attending meetings." At the luncheon Prof. Elders- veld called Republican promises of tax reduction "irresponsible." He voiced many suggestions for gaining additional funds for the City, including "perfecting" the property tax as a revenue source, attracting more industry to Ann Arbor, and considering a munici- pal income tax. Valuation Up Mayor Brown noted during the past year of his administration assessed valuation in the City has increased $9,000,000 and 1400 building permits, totaling $35,000,- 000 have been granted. He said this would yield the City additional tax rveriue now and in the future. The Mayor said "smears and lies that have no basis in fact" have irritated him and caused him to work harder than ever before to win on April 1. Prof. Eldersveld also said the Mayor and Council have "befog- ged" the bus issue with "the tech- nicalities of negotiation and inves- tigation." He criticized the present govern- * ment for not clarifying "the pres- ent state of thesituation" and concluded, "It seems inevitable that there will be some interrup- tion of bus service after April 6." Joint Judiciary Approves Vote Joint Judiciary decided yester- day to "let stand" the recent elec- tion of senior class officers for education school, according to Ju- diciary Chairman Herb Wander, '57. A petition from Sigma Nu fra-1 4of defense and a new secretary -of the Air Force. Donald A. Quarles, now secretary of the Air Force, was named to be deputy secretary of defense, the No. 2 position in the defense estab- lishment now held by Reuben Rob- ertson. Effective in April The resignation of Robertson, who came to the Pentagon in August 1955 with the understand- ing he would remain not more than two years, also was an- nounced by the White House. Rob- ertson asked that it become effec- tve April 25. To succeed Twining as com- mander of the Air Force, President Eisenhower nominated General Thor. as D. White, now the vice- chief of the USAF. James H. Douglas, undersecre- tary of the Air Force, was chosen to fill the secretaryship being va- cated by Quarles. Second Term Adm. Arleigh Burke was at the time nominated for a second two-' year term as chief of naval opera- tions. The White House said Gen. Maxwell Taylor will continue in his term as Army chief of staff until June 29, 1959. New Council Meets Today Six newly-elected Student Gov- erment Council members will meet with the Council for the first time at 7:30 p.m. today in the Council Room, Student Activities Bldg. President Joe Collins, '58, plans to bring up his proposal for a fourth SGC officer, an administra- tive vice-president, for discussion and action. The proposal also implies Ad- ministrative Wing members tak- ing over committee chairmanships from SGC members. Coordination of committees would be under the new officer. Also on the agenda is a proposal allocating Homecoming profits to cover J-Hop losses. Egypt Gives UN Head New Offer Hammarskjold Flies Back to New York CAIRO (P)--United Nations Sec- retary General Dag Hammarskjold flew back to New York yesterday with a modified Egyptian plan for operation of the Suez Canal. A reliable informant said the plan "would please everyone but it should be acceptable to the United States." Diplomatic circles and Egyptian and UN sources said the "ameli- orated" Nasser canal plan shapes up as follows: Collect Tolls 1) Egyptian authorities will col- lect all canal tolls. 2) A fixed percentage will be de- posited in a separate account for use by the UN Technical Assist- ance Board to maintain and de- velop the canal. One press report here said this would be 25 per cent. 3) Freedom of shipping will be guaranteed by reaffirmation of the 1888 Constantinople convention guaranteeing unhindered access to the canal. Gaza Strip Unsettled Informants also said no solid agreement was reached on the Egyptian position in the Gaza Strip but that much progress was made in clarifying it. Egypt has restored its civil ad- ministration to the strip over Is- raeli protests. The informant hinted that Nas- ser may have given Hammarskjold an oral commitment not to move troops into the strip immediately or to take any other action to dis- turb the situation. Not Going to Israel Hammarskjold is not going to Israel on this trip. He had made known from the first that an Is- raeli visit depended on develop- ments. The sunken tug Edgar Bonnet, last block in the canal to passage of ships up to 20,000 tons, is to be towed out of the way Wednesday. Only Egyptian permission will then be needed for three-fourths or more of normal canal traffic to be resumed. YD's 'To Elect New Officers The Young Democrats will hold an organizational meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3G of the Un- ion, according to President Bill Peer, '57. Club officer nominations and elections will be held. There will also be discussion of future plans, initiation of a membership drive and formation of committees to represent the local club at the YD state convention. Beck Refuses To Uses Fifth Amendment d -4 BOARD OF GOVERNORS: Professor Urges Dorm Evaluation By RICHARD TAUB' A careful study of the freshman-upperclassman structure of Uni- versity residence halls was suggested yesterday by Prof. Lionel Laing of the political science department. He said the most effective use of the system and students' atti- tude toward the set-up should be determined.- Prof. Laing told the Residence Hall Board of Governors such con- sideration might lead to a "change in philosophy" of the Board toward its present housing program. Motion Made Discussion grew out of a motion by Jean Scruggs, '58, former As- sembly president, that Betsy Barbour residence remain a junior-senior - house next year, reverting to a Parties Low In Influence --Feikens By MICHAEL KRAFT "The last election demonstrated that political parties are reaching a new low in influence," John Fei- kens, former Michigan state chair- man of the Republican Party said last night. Speaking before the University chapter of the American Society for Public Administration, Feikens declared "personalities dominated politics" during the last election and cited the victories of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gover- nor G. Mennen Williams. "Political parties, by their trend to run toward partisanship, are losing out," he said during an in- formal question and answer period following his speech. Machines Clobbered He noted that "patronage or- ganizations, the big city machines, took a clobbering and are just about gone." "In Wayne County we have a more issue-type orientated group which will still hold on," he said, referring to the strong Democratic organization. "The one thing that will beat personalities is an issue," said the man who chaired the state GOP party from 1952 until last Febru- ary's convention, and headed the 1952 "Citizens for Eisenhower Committee' in Michigan. Motivation-Personality During his introductory remarks, the former chairman said "my motivation for getting into politics was mostly personality. I was im- pelled by what I feared if another candidate got the GOP nomina- tion." Since then, he added, "my motivations have been issue moti- vated." Focusing on state politics, he observed "In much the same way, people have not been thinking in issues but how to get somebody elected." Feikens cited this as a reason that "one problem, especially on the state level, is the formation of party programs and platforms, be- cause platform committee mem- bers often don't have background in the issues." Talk; four-year residence in 1958-59. Miss Scruggs requested the ex- tension, which was granted, for a further study of upper-class dor- mitories, adding that it would not be easy to effectively convert Bar- bour into a four year dorm in Sep- tember. Seniors Moving Out Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis noted the trend of seniors moving out of resi- dence halls as well as fraternity houses. "But we may. have been over- estimating the role of seniors in the residence hall," he cautioned. He suggested the council think seriously about the establishment of a freshman residence hall or house, on an experimental basis. "We have been speculating on what would happen with a fresh- man residence hall. Maybe we ought to try it," he explained. Counselling He declared the board should "think dangerously" about money now being spent for counseling. Dean of Women Deborah Bacon said seniors moved out because of a basic conflict in "the four year cycle" of the academic structure, and maturation in a "social-socio- logical way of life in a three year cycle." She said the Dean of Women's office was considering establish- ment of some type of upper class dorm in the new Markley Hall scheduled for completion in the fall of 1958. Prefer Freshman Dorms Miss Scruggs said if special resi- dence halls were established, she had believed women would prefer freshman and sophomore dorms to purely freshman ones. Lewis stressed the importance of this discussion. While new resi- dence halls are under considera- tion, the board should determine what changes it should make, he said. The Inter-House Council motion to set up a faculty-adviser-student committee to study residence halls was tabled until the scope of the study could be determined. Eddins To Lecture Prof. Berkley Eddins will speak on "A Re-evaluation of the Ne- gro's Approach to Racial Advance- ment" at 8 p.m. today in Rm. 3R of the Union. The talk is being sponsored by the Culture Club. -Daily-Edward Graff IMPACT OF MILITARY-Prof. Morris Janowitz (left) and Prof. Cecil Land spoke before an audience of forty people at the Politi- cal Issues Club meeting last night. . Political Club .Discusses U.S. Military Influence By TAMMY MORRISON The first Political Issues Club program of the semester broke out in hot discussion last night as the audience and two professors debated the implications of increasing military influence in American life. Prof. Morris Janowitz of the sociology department told an audience of 40 people jammed into the Union's Rm. 3M that the present selective service system is inadequate for the military problems the United States is now facing. "We need a standing army that's ready to operate instantan- eously," he said, and further asked for more understanding of the military on the civilian level. Members of the audience particularly took issue with military influence on 'political discussion. Club President Al Lubowitz, '57, said today's college students, STATE SCHOOL HEAD Clare Taylor Predicts More College Mergers By DIANE LABAKAS A continuing merger of state colleges was predicted yesterday by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Clare Taylor. Speaking at the Board of Education Conference in Rackham Lecture Hall, Taylor said "the 48 or 50 state colleges are not ade- quate to meet today's modern education needs." The expansion problem of Michigan colleges will probably have to be solved through merger instead of financing of independent schools by the state and by local tuition, Taylor declared. He cited the University's branch at Flint and Michigan State University's new expansion in Oakland County as ex- amples of the "new pattern" of merging. SHAKESPEARE, STUD "As long as the need for more schools exists and the people'want it, this new pattern will continue to develop," Taylor asserted. He pointed to the $150 million Michi- gan taxpayers bonded themselves One of Shakespeare's best known last year to verify their interest dramas will be presented this week in school expansion. by the Ann Arbor Civic Theater.

"We are trying to get school Termed "a good tale admirably districts to again be a central vo- told," by Prof. G. B. Harrison of cal point like they were intended the English department. "The "knowing they're going to be hand- ed a list of organizations when they get into the army, and askedj to check the ones they belonged to, are afraid to form any political connections while they are in col- lege." Depends on Student Prof. Cecil Land, director of the Reserve Officer's Training Corps here, said such a list depended on which area of the army the stu- dent entered. Another student countered Prof. Janowitz's previous contention that the army had removed racial bar- riers with "we may get social free- doms in the army, but not political ones. Soldiers wouldn't dare ex- press themselves freely on contro- versial issues." The question of maintaining civil control over the military should therefore be taught in college, in- stead of leaving it up to military indoctrination, Prof. Janowitz an- swered. The solution, he said was not to isolate the military element from the civilian one. American Imperialism An international student sug- gested that upping the military's prestige could lead to American Imperialism. Prof. Janowitz returned "civilian society must be willing to meet the problems raised by the ready reserve. I'd like to get up and say 'throw away your guns,' but I don't think that's looking at the present situation realistically. Dulles Moves To Stop Troop Withdrawal WASHINGTON P) - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles moved yesterday to'keep Egypt from arbi- trarily kicking out United Nations peace troops and to avoid a shoot- ing showdown in. the Gulf of Aqa- ba. Dulles told his news conference: 1. Egypt has no right at this time to order withdrawal of the UN Emergency Force. 2. The United States will ask the United Nations to seek, an ad- visory opinion from the World Court on whether the Straits of Tiran, which form the narrow mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba, em- brace international waters. Dulles underwent questioning also on the U.S.=British talks at Bermuda, which ended last Sun- day. In response, he declared: 1. It. seemed unprofitable to try to reach a formal arrangement for a common U.S.-British policy to- ward the Middle East. But, he said, hope for such was made more likely during long, informal talks. 2. The U.S.-British practice of coordinating systems for warn- ings of possible Soviet attack was reviewed, but not changed sub- stantially. 3. In time, France and other U.S. allies will be outfitted with guided missiles and similar mod- ern weapons, but as a practical matter plans immediately call for starting only with Britain. He said the United States also believes that, under the Feb. 2 UN resolutions, the UN troops should be stationed on both Egyp- tian and Israeli sides of the truce line. Mortarboard Society Taps Stays Quiet On Disputed $320,000 Teamster President Faces AFL-CIO Ban, Charges of Contempt WASHINGTON (M)-Dave Beck. boss of the far-flung Teamsters Union, wrapped himself in the pro- tective folds of the fifth amend- ment yesterday and refused to say whether he took more than $320,- of union money for personal use. Beck also declined flatly to say whether he was lying or telling the truth before millions looking in on television March 17 when he said he had borrowed between $300,000 and $400,000 from the union in the last 10 years and re- paid it without interest. Veiled Suggestions The chunky, voluble president of the teamsters immediately en- countered not so veiled suggestions from Senate rackets probers that he may wind up on trial and may encounter charges of contempt of Congress. He also may face punishment by the AFL-CIO executive council. He is a council member and an AFL. CIO vice-president. If he was bothered by it all, during a day-long grilling by a special senate committee, Beck showed it not at all. He rejected firmly a demand from Senator John Kennedy (D-Mass) that he hand in his resignation as head of the nation's biggest union. "I'm personally confronted," he said, "with a situation I'm positive will be disposed of 100 per cent satisfactorily to me when the final days of accounting come in court." Constitutional Right Beck declared he was exercising his constitutional right against self-incrimination, under the fifth amendment, only on the advice of his lawyers. He did it dozens of times, under a formula his attor- neys revised as he went along, when confronted by contentions from the investigators that he: Used union funds to repay loans from banks, build his Seattle, Wash., home, bolster his own bank account, and pay personal bills for such items as gardening, shirts, and expensive neckties. Comiittee counsel Robert F. Kennedy said some $85,000 of un- ion money was used to pay per- sonal bills. He said it was chan- neled through Nathan Shefferman, Chicago labor consultant for busi- ness firms around the country and a friend of Beck for some 20 years. Shefferman himself took the witness stand at the end of the day and testified he paid Beck $24,500 in 1949 and 1950 for busi- ness Beck swung his way.

Reds Say No To Test Plan MOSCOW (M')- Soviet Russia yesterday gave the brush-off to the Bermuda plan to give advance notice on atomic test explosions and to invite international obser- vation of the experiments. But Leonid F. flyichev, Foreign Ministry prese chief, stopped short of outright rejection of the pro- posal made by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. He said Russia favored a "radi- cal solution"-outright prohibition of nuclear tests - rather than "roundabout methods."
