Case Club's

night Lee Abrams, '58L, and
James Feibel, '58L, were declared
the winning team in the 32nd An
nual Henry M. Campbell Compe
tition.
They won out over finalist
John Lewis, 58L, and Eugen
Wanger, '58L.
The Hon. John Biggs Jr., Chie
Justice of the 3rd Judicial Cir
cult of the Federal Court of Ap
peals, announced the decision
Judge Biggs acted as the presiding
justice of the moot court befor
which the Competition's finals
were held.
He stated that "the competition
today was of a most unusually
high standard.
Present at the banquet was Jus
tice Harold H. Burton of the U.S.
Supreme Court, who attended a
the guest of honor. Justice Bun
ton did not deliver an address but
reminisced briefly about his trip
to South America las year, during
which he visited several Latin
American federal courts.
In regard to the case the final-
ists had to argue, Judge Biggs re-
marked with a smile that "the
News carried the purported texts of
and to his friend, Swedish Minister
" Brynolf Eng, just before jumping
to his death from the roof of a
Cairo building April 4.
The Daily News version recorded
Norman as writing to Eng: "I can
not bring myself to tell you the
true reasons that impel me to com-
mit suicide."
This sentence has been inter-
preted as indicating Norman killed
himself for some other reason than
the resurrection by the Senate In-
- ternal Security subcommittee of
f. charges that Norman had been a
- Communist.
Canadians ha asserted the sub-
committee's action was an impor-
d tant factor in Norman's death. In
- notes to the State Department, the
1o Canadian government has deplored
h the aspersions cast of Norman's
ot character and reiterated a belief
in his loyalty.
d, The Daily News commented
e, "The Norman suicide letters,

is day in the News were cabled from

t- Arabic copies made of the letters
while the Cairo police were holding
r, them during their investigation."

May Curtail
Enrollment
Pierpont Upset About
Building Funds Lack
By LEE MARKS
Daily City Editor
University Regents yesterday
protested the five million dollars
slashed from next year's operat-
ing budget Thursday by the Sen-
ate Appropriations Committee.
There was some talk of cur-
tailing enrollment if the Legisla-
ture fails to appropriate more
than the 29.1 million recommend-
ed by the committee.
Grave concern over failure of
the committee to recommend any
capital outlay funds for planning
or new construction was voiced
at the Regents meeting by Vice-
President Wilbur K. Pierpont.
(The $7,710,000 recommended for
capital outlay will only complete
construction already under way.)
Requested $34,100,000
The University originally re-
quiested $34,100,000 for operations
next year. The Governor's recom-
mendation to the Legislature
sliced this request by two and a
half 'million dollars.
(The Senate Appropriations
Committee recommendation now
goes to the Senate. The House
Ways and Means Committee must
report out to the House but it is
expected to follow the Senate
Committee's lead.)
Regents Paul Adams and
Eugene Power went on record yes-
terday as firmly opposing any in-
crease in resident fees. But both
conceded that out-state students
should pay more.
In a move endorsed by the Re-
gents, University President Harlan
Hatcher had suggested last month
that the University might agree
to an across-the-board tuition
raise of 20 to 25 per cent if the
Legislature appropriated enough
to reach the original $34,100,000
with the added tuition funds.
Legislators have insisted on a
tuition raise.
Suggests Enrollment Cut
But Regent Adams said yester-
day, "I'm now inclined to favor a
reduction in enrollment and hold-
ing fees where they are."
Some Regents seemed to feel
that since the five million dollars
could not be made up through
reasonable tuition raises (25 per
cent would bring in only another
million and a half dollars), it
might not be worth raising tuition
at all.
At a press conference following
the Regents meeting, President
Hatcher said there was a chance
enrollment would have to be cur-
tailed if more money was not ap-
propriated. He said it was "not
impossible" the curtailment would
begin next year.
(Next year's projected total en-
rollment calls for 24,100 students).
Nothing Inevitable
Regent Adams said there was
nothing inevitable in enrollment
increases, noting "legislative ap-
propriations are certainly a fac-
tor in determining enrollment
levels,"
Vice-President Pierpont pointed
out that failure of the Senate
Committee to recommend money
for planning or new construction
brought to an "abrupt and com-
plete" halt the University's con-
struction program.
Since it takes a year of pre-
liminary planning and another
year of final planning to begin
construction, it will take at least
two or three years more to start
construction on additional facili-
ties. the Vice-President said.

Toll Protest Planned
By American Line
SUEZ, Egypt (AP)-A freighter
carrying peanuts from China to
Rotterdam Friday became the first
British merchantman to pass
through the Suez Canal since the
British-French attack on Egypt
last fall. The Egyptians seemed
pleased about it.
Without fanfare, the 3,604-ton
West Breeze entered the southern
terminus of the 103-mile waterway.
It was early in the morning and no
crowds on hand.
Another British vessel, the 7,127-
ton Poplar Hill, was due in Suez
to begin a northward passage Sat-
urday. The first American ship to
transit the canal since the invasion
is expected next week.
The West Breeze paid transit
tolls . . . the equivalent of $3,031
. in Swiss francs. A spokesman
for Lambert Brothers, her agents
in London, said they were not paid
under protest since the vessel is
under charter to the Hong Kong
firm, Far East Enterprising Co., for
several trips.
The first American ship to use
the canal since the invasion will
be the President Jackson of the
American President Lines.
The ship is en route to the Red
Sea from Karachi with a cargo
and 12 cruise pasengers. A spokes-
man for the lines said in New
York the ship would be ready to
enter the canal Thursday.
Among the 12 passengers aboard
the President Jackson is Mrs. E. R.
Bryant, ofDearborn, Mich.
The spokesman said Govern-
ment agencies in Washington had
been informed that the line is
observing all Government sugges-
tion, including recording of a pro-
test on payment of the toll and
making certain reservations.
The newspaper Al Gumhrriya
interpreted the start of British
traffic through the Canal as indi-
cating that British firms have re-
belled against their Government.
Al Gumhurriya said the com-
panies "rightly regard the canal
as a commercial and not a political
waterway."
Israeli shipping remains barred
from the canal, on the ground that
Egypt is still technically at war
with Israel.
MSUJ Slated

Budget Plan
EAST LANSING (P)-The State
Board of Agriculture, governing
body of Michigan State University,
yesterday agreed to write the Leg-
islature disapproving budget pro-
posals for MASU for the 1957-58
fiscal year.
The board, in particular, said it
disapproved the method by which
the proposed budget of $25,190,712
was determined.
Durward B. Varner, vice presi-
dent for off-campus affairs, said
the legislature in figuring funds
for the current fiscal year started
from a base of $1,008 per pupil.
Money for the current fiscal
year was appropriated on the as-
sumption MSU would have an en-
rollment of 18,500 students, he

MOSCOW (A)-Marshal Georgi
K. Zhukov warned the West yes-

Warsaw pact powers will match
NATO bomb for bomb, missile for
missile.
Nikita Khrushchev told the
Western power to keep their hands
off the Communist world, partic-
ularly East Germany, lest it be-
come necessary to "rap your
knuckles."
Khrushchev, the Communist
party boss, speaking at a Polish
Embassy reception, extended a
somewhat patronizing hand of
friendship to Poland and then
directed this remark to the West-
ern powers :
"We want to warn the capitalist
countries, do not joke with us, do
not try to test us like you did in
Hungary with the putsch.
You think of doing it, not only
in Hungary, but also maybe in
East Germany. Be careful. We are
not saints and if necessary we will
rap your knuckles."
