Strikes Cripple
Britishndustr
LONDON W) - Spreading factory strikes hit this teeming manu-
facturing capital yesterday, paralyzing more and more of the indus-
try on which Britain lives.
A half million men in about 1,000 Greater London plants offi-
cially joined the million "engineering" workers who walked out a
week ago, mainly in Scotland and northern England.
Two hundred thousand shipmakers began the third week of their
w y strike, which has silenced 70 shipyards around Britain.
Neither side in the wage disputes heldoutnany prospect of peace
moves over the weekend. Negotiations the past week broke down in
deadlock.
Appeals to Unions
Labor Minister Ian Macleod pinned his hopes for an early end
to the strikes on an appeal to the unions to call off their walkout
and leave the issues to an impar-
Cooperation
Pledge Given
}To AFU=CTO
WASHINGTON (R)-Sen. John
L, McClellan (D-Ark) pledged full
cooperation yesterday with the
AFL-CIO investigation of Team-
sters' President Dave Beck and any
other labor efforts to rid its ranks
of what he called "unwholesome
elements."
Sen. McClellan is chairman of a
special Senate rackets committee
which tried for two days earlier
this week to draw answers from
Bck about his financial dealings
with the giant Teamsters Union,
the nation's largest union.
Beck invoked his Fifth Amend-
ment protection against possible
self-incrimination in refusing to
answer.
Friday, the AFL-CIO Executive
Council suspended Beck as a mem-
ber and vice-president and di-
rected its Ethical Practices Com-
mittee to investigate charges that
he has brought "the labor move-
ment into disrepute."
Question Posed
Sen. McClellan was asked at a
news conference whether his Sen-
ate committee, conducting a far-
flung probe of racketeering in the
labor management field, had of-
fered to cooperate with the AFL-
CIO investigation.
He replied 'ro formal offer has
been made, 1ut he said "I think
they know the committee will co-
operate with them in every way in
the world in every effort they make
to eliminate the unwholesome ele-
ments that have developed in the
labor movement."
Sen. McClellan was asked if he
meant the committee would fur-
nish testinmony or documents in
its possession which have not been
made public in its hearings so far.
WVill Consider Requests
The senator said he couldn't
speak for the committee, but he
declared that "any request from
them for information we may have
will be given immediate considera-
tion."
The committee has recessed its
hearings for about two weeks, but
Sen. McClellan said its investiga-
tions intc. union activities in -New
York City, Scranton and Philadel-
phia, Pa., and Los Angeles are
"substantially ready" for public
hearings.
In these areas, he said, the in-
vestigations relate to the Team-
sters Union, but that more than
just Teamsters a' irs are involved.
Ruthven Gets

Celebrations
In Triplicate
Triple congratulations are due
Alexander Grant Ruthven, presi-
dent emeritus of the University,
tomorrow.
Ruthven, who was president of
the University from October, 1929,
to August, 1951, will celebrate the
75th anniversary of his birthday,
April 1, 1882. He is also marking
the fiftieth anniversary of his
marriage to Florence Haglein in
1907. Thirdly, he obtained his do-
,. torate from the University 51 years
aoin90.Ruthven. who recently returned
- from a tour of University alumni
clubs Throughout the West, is now
residing in De xtei.
Among the positions held by
Ruthven while at the University
tial investigation by a three-man
court of inquiry.
The executive council of the 40-
union Confederation of Shipbuild-
ing and Engineering Unions,
which is masterminding both
strikes, will consider the govern-
ment request Tuesday -- the day,
before the Court of Inquiry opens
its hearings.
Unless a settlement is reached
the coming week, the unions
threaten to pull out by next week-
end another million factory work-
ers ranging from unskilled hands
to machine operators.
.There has been no official state-
ment on the economic repercus-
sions of the strikes so far. The
factories involved account for 40
per cent. of Britain's exports.
In the shipyards, work on 300
ships is halted.
Employers have expressed fear
that new orders from abroad may
pass them by."
Will Affect Work
A spokesman for De Havilland
Aircraft Works, where the stop-
page will affect work on the new
version of the Comet jet airliner,
told newsmen: "This may be
throwing away Britain's. last
chance of getting into the jet air-
liner market."
American Capital Airlines has
ordered 14 of the new Comets.
The unions originally demanded
a 10 per cent wage increase be-
cause of the rising cost of liv-
ing. They also maintained the
workers were entitled to a bigger
share of industry's profits.
Employers said the claims were
"unjustified" and that they could-
n't afford the pay hikes.
The unions rejected a shipyard
counter offer of 5 per cent, subject
to a 12-month standstill in furth-
er wage claims and a union prom-
ise to eliminate what the employ-
ers said were restrictive practices
hampering output. The unions al-
so rejected factory " employer of-
fers of a 3%/2 per cent pay boost.

Israeli Ban
Nasser To Control
Canal Despite U.S.
CAIRO () - President Gamal
Abdel Nasser charged yesterday
the United States is trying "to
starve us."
But despite this United States
pressure, he said, Egypt alone will
run the Suez Canal and will not
let Israeli ships use it.
A United Nations salvage fleet
has cleared away all Suez Canal
obstructions except the sunken
frigate Abukir at the southern end,
which still prevents big ships from
entering. The Abukir is expected
to be lifted out of the way to-
morrow.
Nasser spoke to visiting Ameri-
can editors as the first ship con-
voys in five months transited the
newly reopened waterway, pay-
ing tolls to Egypt on Egypt's
terms.
In one of the most stinging at-
tacks he has ever made on the
United States, Nasser asserted:
"The United States is aiming to
starve us while the Soviet Union
is aiming to help us.
"We like to be friendly to the
United States, but not as a result
of pressure. As long as we have
wheat and bread we will continue
to resist pressure.
"We won't surrender."
Nasser said Egypt will keep Is-
rael's ships from using either the
canal or the Gulf of Aqaba-150
miles east of Suez-despite threats
or pressure.
Both the gulf and the canal are
Egypt's territorial waters, Nasser
said, and he intends to keep them
so.
Nasser Plan
May Prevail
WASHINGTON (AP)-The United
States, Britain, France and other
big shipping nations yesterday ap-
peared to be about ready to accept
defeat on the major issue of their
long dispute with Egyptian Presi-
dent Gamal Abdel Nasser.
From the time that Nasser seized
the Suez Canal, July 2.6, Western
nations and others had fought for
international control of the canal's
operation.
Barring some unexpected change
of plans, all signs new indicate
they are prepared silently to yield
to exclusive Egyptian operation,
and to negotiate for the best safe-
gi'ards they can get for their ship-
ping rights.

Macmillan
LONDON ( P)-A right wing Con-
servative revolt menaced Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan's 10-
week-old government yesterday.
The dramatic resignation of Lord'
Salisbury over the release of Arch-
bishop Makarios of Cyprus from
exile brought the threat of trouble
on a wide front to the dismayed
Cabinet.
Conservative party leaders wait-
ed apprehensively for a parliamen-
tary debate tomorrow which will
probe into the reasons for Lord
Salisbury's decision to resign as
Lord President of the Council, gov-
ernment leader of the House of
Lords and as political controller
of atomic energy development.
Salisbury, known as the king-
maker for the decisive role he
played in making Macmillan Prime
Minister, openly disagreed with the
government's action in freeing
Archbishop Makarios.
Bermuda is the topic of tomor-
row's debate. The Prime Minister
is to lead off the discussion.
Many Conservative members of
Parliament, said the London Eve-
ning News, "now want to know for
certain what many already suspect
-that the decision to release the
archbishop was part of a deal be-
tween Mr. Macmillan and Presi-
dent Eisenhower at Bermuda, in
return for which the United States
would join the military committee
of the Baghdad Pact to strengthen
the shaky Western hold on the
Middle East."
Food Riot
By RENE GNAM
A West Quad food riot, sched-
uled for noon yesterday, was
squelched when students planning
to participate learned that Uni-
versity authorities knew about
their plans.
At the same time, a special
meeting for discussion of the food
problem and selective menus was
announced.
Rumors and plans for the riot!
started early Friday night, and
called for a sudden demonstra-
tion in dining rooms three and
four, several students said.
Chicago House President Russ
Tillitt, '60, discovered the plans
and notified Paul Mott, Grad.,
house assistant resident advisor.
Mott tipped off West Quad Man-
ager Lynford E. Tubbs.
The riot never occurred.
Meeting Planned
Yesterday, Leonard A. Schaadt,
Residence Halls business manager,
contacted by Tubbs Friday night,1
said the food meeting will be held
April 10, and will be attended by
cooks, dietitians and quad mana-
gers.
Schaadt stressed that students'
opinions on the food would be
Police Suspect
Eludes Guards
By West Quad
Ann Arbor Police chased Calvin
Vinston, a larceny suspect, from
the side of the Union around West
Quad to the front of South Quad
late yesterday morning.
He escaped capture.
Vinston, suspected of stealing a
purse from a downtown store, was
arrested at the Union where he
had been working.
As arresting officers, Detectives
Bob King and Gregeory Kalopodis,
were taking him to the police sta-
tion he bolted and ran.
"We were taking him to the door
(of the Union) when the Union
manager called to me," Detective
King said. "I dropped back and my
partner took him through the door
and he bolted."
King and Kalopodis chased Vin-
ston down the side of West Quad
toward Thompson.
Officers thought Vinston had
run into South Quad. They later
found that he had gone through or
past the Quad and caught a cab
at Hill and Packard and fled to
Ypsilanti.
Vinston, about 24 years old, was
convicted of 'stealing in 1952 by
the Ypsilanti Court and' com-
mitted to the Ionia State Hospital.
welcomed. He said he has had no
complaints on the food situation
since last semester's food riot.
Tubbs expressed the same opin-
ion.
"There is lack of comunication
between students and persons in
charge," Schaadt said.
Schaadt and Tubbs said al-
though students seem to have
many complaints they don't both-
er informing the proper authori-
ties.
At a meeting with four Chicago
House residents Friday night,
Tubbs heard several specific com-
plaints. He promised to bring
these complaints to the spring
vacation meeting.
Dean Rea Partakes
Dean of Men Walter B. Rea ate
lunch at West Quad yesterday and
said he found nothing wrong with
the hamburgers.
No estimate of how far plans
had progressed could be deter-
mined.
In the event of a food riot, resi-
dent advisors have instructions to
note students they recognize. Par-
ticipating students would then be
sent before Joint Judiciary Coun-
cil.

Eldersveld Ends Campaig,
Assails GOP Revenue Fears
By JAMES ELSMAN
Democratic mayoralty candidate Prof. Samuel Eldersveld, of the
political science department, closed this mayoralty campaign yesterday
by chiding local Republicans for a "just-before-election concern for
economy and revenue."
Prof. Eldersveld implied the local GOP had magnified the issue
that University students might not be counted in the next census,
saying, "I do not believe, and I have investigated quite fully, there
is any real likelihood that the s

Kimball Takes Firsts

Special to The Daily
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -A dead
heat for first place in the all-
important final medley relay gave
Michigan the team title in the
NCAA swimming championships
last night as Yale was disqualified
in the deciding event.
Michigan, by gaining 11 points
in the high dive and 12 in the
relay, scored 69 points to second
place Yale's 61.
Yale, after leading throughout
the meet, failed to score a point
in the last two events.
Michigan's Dick Kimball won the
high dive with teammate John
Murphy finishing third. Yale failed
to qualify a man in the high dive
finals.
Yale led 61-57 going into the
final event of the meet, the medley
relay. But Michigan was up to the
task as anchor man Dick Hanley
came from behind to'catch Michi-
gan State's Frank Parrish in the
final leg of the relay to finish in a
tie.
The finish was so close that the
judges couldn't pick a winner. The
first and second place points' were
divided between the two teams,
giving the Spartans a third place
with 52 points.
Yale finished fourth in the race
but was disqualified when Rex
Aubrey took off too soon on the
final leg. However, the points
wouldn't have been enough to win
the meet as the six points for
fourth would only have increased

Census Bureau will change its
1950 policy."
He was pleased Republicans had
passed a resolution urging the
Bureau to maintain its present
policy, but called this move a
"small step" in solving Ann Ar-
bor's financial problems.
Confessing he was "not a rich
man" and couldn't make a trip
to Washington (as Mayor Brown
did), he communicated the es-
sence of a telegram he received
from Sen. Patrick McNamara (D-
Mich.): "Dr. Burgess (Director of
the Bureau) states that requests
to return to the old system of as-
signing students to their home
town for census purposes are not
of major proportions and thus the
Bureau is inclined to continue the
present system."
Brown could not be reached
for comment.
"Surely the Council should in-
struct our present mayor to push
for the passage of this bill. I say
'instruct' because the mayor has
demonstrated he needs some in-
structions regarding his lobbying
activities for Ann Arbor," com-
mented Prof. Eldersveld.
He also recommended the City
apply pressure at Lansing to get
a census taken between 1960 and
1970. He said a Governor's Com-
mission has been studying this
and that a "wide-awake" City ad-
ministration "would be active
now," consulting with officials in
Lansing.

In Critical
Condition
Brenton Godfrey Fuger, a Uni-
versity student, is in critical con-
dition in University Hospital after
crashing through a fence in his
automobile Friday.
His 1951 Packard convertible
was a total wreck.
Ypsilanti State Polic said the
accident occurred at 11:25 p.m. as
Fuger was driving along U.S. 12,
one-tenth of a mile East of Harris
Road in Ypsilanti.
According to police, Fuger's
automobile was traveling at a
high rate of speed-and apparently
missed a curve. The automobile
tore up 130 ieet of fence along the
highway.
Fuger was on the danger list
late yesterday according to Uni-
versity Hospital authorities. He
he suffered a head injury, a frac-
tured arm and multiple lacera-
