Russian Note
Tells Death
A 12-year-old mystery concern-
ing the disappearance of a Swe-
dish diplomat was solved yester-{
day in a brief note to the Swedish
government from Russia, accord-
ing to the Detroit News.
Raoul Wallenberg, a University
graduate, was arrested by Rus-
sian secret police in 1945 in Buda-
pest and died in a Russian prison
in 1947.
' Wallenberg had gone to Buda-
pest, at the request of the United
States government, on a mercy
' mission in 1944 to save thousands
of Jews from death at the hands
of the Nazis.
A member of the Swedish Red
Cross at the time, Wallenberg
completely disregarded normal
channels in "getting Jews out of
Hungary, according to the News
story.
One of his methods was to pose
as a Nazi official, halt trainloads
of Jews headed for execution and
order their release. By issuing
"protective passports" he was
credited with saving 12,000 lives
in a 100-day period, the News said.
His dramatic rescues won him
the sobriquet of the "Swedish
Scarlet Pimpernel," a reference
to the Englishman who rescued
many French aristocrats in the
early days of the French Revolu-
tion.
Wallenberg went into the Swe-
dish diplomatic service soon after
his. graduation from the Univer-
sity architecture school, the News
reported.
In 1947 more than a million
Swedish people signed petitions
appealing to Josef Stalin to re-
lease Wallenberg. But for years
the Russians. had refused to di-
vulge any information concerning
his disappearance. Notes sent to
Moscow were either ignored or
denied.
Wallenberg was 35 years old at
the time he ,made his mercy trip
to Budapest. A Christian, he was
motivated by a great desire to
serve the Jewish people as a seg-
ment of humanity in distress, the
News said.

Study Finds MILITARY AID INCREASED:
a
Consumers
Op timi stics
By EDWARD GERULDSEN
The American consumer at the
end of 1956 was satisfied with his
financial condition and highly op-
timistic about the future, accord-
ing to a recent survey conducted
by the University's Survey Re-
search Center.
The survey, conducted between
mid-November and mid-Decem-
ber, showed that a slight deterior-
ation in consumer sentiment
which began in late 1955 has been
halted and signs of improvement
are evident.
The project covered a nation-
wide sample of about 1,375 adults,
scientifically chosen. Each was
asked questions about the fam-
ily's income, recent purchases and
buying plans. The respondents
also were asked to give and ex-
plain their satisfactions, opinions
and expectations about their own
and the national economy.
Measured Consumer Buying
The primary purpose was to
measure consumer inclination to
buy, since this reflects attitudes
and expectations as well as "felt
needs".
The primary change in con-
sumer attitudes toward their per-
sonal financial condition in the
past few months, the survey
found, is a leveling off.
Attitudes about personal wel-
fare and also toward national
business conditions have remained
stable at a high level of satis-
faction, but the optimism has not
been growing.
People See Good Times
The proportion of the popula-
tion seeing good times ahead for
the nation's economy is as high
as any time since the end of the
war.
The crisis in the Middle East
was found to have' had little
harmful effect on the general op-
timism. The results of the presi-
dential election were most com-
monly viewed as having no effect
on business conditions.
The middle and upper income
people who did expect President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's re-elec-
tion to effect the economic pic-
ture almost unanimously agreed
that any effect would be favor-
able.
Fewer "Good Days"
In viewing the price situation,
the consumers interviewed gener-
ally felt that there are fewer bar-
gains or "good buys" available
now than previously. The propor-
tion wJho shared this attitude was
considerably higher than two
years ago.
The feeling that prices have
risen and will likely continue to
rise began to spread in the spring
of 1955 and was still growing in
the summer' of 1956. This latest
survey, however, disclosed that
since August, 1956, there has been
no increase in the proportion of
consumers who see an upward
trend in the price level.
On the matter of inclination to
buy, the researchers found that
expressed buying intentions are
now more frequent than a few
months ago.

Anx estimated 92,000 books will
be shelved in new quarters next
fall, when the new Ann Arbor
Public Library is scheduled for
completion.
According to Homer Chance,
head librarian, thebuilding, lo-
cated at the corner of Fifth and
Williams Streets, should be open
to the public in October or No-
vember.
Chance said that only recently
have dreams of a new library be-
come a reality. Funds for the new
building, approximately $700,000,
have been secured for the most
part through the sale of the old
University High School to the
University.
Construction on the new library,
began last October. it will devel-
op into a two story building cov-
ering 30,000 square feet of space.
Chance said that the building will
have a capacity of 170,000 books,
which will make it possible to
keep up the present rate of ex-
pansion of 5,000 volumes per year.

When the United States Con-
gress finally votes its approval of
the "Eisenhower Doctrine," as
most observers predict it soon will,
the umbrella of American military
protection will expand once more
and bring to more than 50 the
number of nations around the
globe the United States is pledged,
to defend from aggression.
Thisnnation, which Ge o r g e
Washington advised in his Fare-
well Address 160 years ago to steer
clear of "entangling alliances,"
will have moved In the opposite
direction about as fas as it is
possible to go.
Assuming the "Eisenhower Doc-
trine" applies to at least eight na-
tions (a precise definition of its
coverage has not been given), after
its approval the United States will
have committments to defend 55
foreign countries. This amounts to
nearly 85 per cent of the total of
65 non-Communist members of the
SUnited Nations.
Most of the countries outside the
boundaries of U.S. military pro-
tection are in the Afro-Asian
group-India, Burma, Ceylon, In-
