FACE ECONOMIC PROBLEM:
Boorman Says Chinese
Reds Seek More Control
A former Chinese language officer for the Foreign Service and
later analyst of communist newspapers in China said yesterday that
the Communists have established a "stable regime" in China.
They now are seeking to extend their control in four fields -
ideological, political, economic and military.
Howard L. Boorman, currently preparing a study on "Men and
Politics in China" at the School of International Affairs, Columbia
University, outlined the communist plan for making China the
major power in Asia.
He told how they are consolidating their country with the So-
viet bloc, saying that their major difficulty will be economic. Boor-
Sman said that the economic chaos,
WASHINGTON (JP) - Dave Beck
refused yesterday a challenge to
"blow the lid right off the Sen-
ate," if he could by revealing how
his Teamster Union funds were
spent.
Instead the chunky Teamsters
boss again took the Fifth Amend-
ment before the Senate Rackets
Committee. He even declined to
say whether he knows his own son,
Dave Beck Jr.
Eventually, pleading that he
wasn't feeling too well, the mil-
lionaire labor leader left the tele-
vised hearing for the privacy of
his hotel room.
For Beck and Business
The committee proceeded to
draw from Stewart Ormsby Krieg-
re, a Teamsters' accountant, the
testimony that he got $15,375 in
salary and expense money from
the union over 18 months in which
he worked almost exclusively for
the Beck family's beer business.
Just before the hearings began,
Beck told newsmen: "I'll be one
of the most silent witnesses you
sever were in contact with." He
kept this promise pretty well.
In renewing the Senate inquiry
into Beck's'affairs, Sen. John Mc-
Clellan (D-Ark) said his commit-
tee intends to produce new evid-
ence to support allegations thatj
Beck made "improper use" of
union funds and abused his power
as president of the biggest union1
in the country.
Investigate Business
Sen. McClellan also said the in-
vestigators would go into the ac-
tivities of "certain businessmen
who are willing, for the sake of a
few dollars, to make 'deals' of a
highly improper nature."
The Senate group has broad au-
thority to investigate rackets in
the labor-management field.

WASHINGTON - Special Am-

ported yesterday "a great major-
ity" of 15 governments in the
Middle East firmly support Presi-
dent Dwight Eisenhower's plan to
help combat communism.
Richard flew back to Washing-
ton yesterday after a 25,000-mile

Reach Accord .. .
pBON, Germany -- BritishC
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan
and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
ended their private talks yester-

ences over Western defense.
A diplomatic informant said the
two started their conference Tues-
day "miles apart" but that they
moved "much closer together" by
the finish.
which existed in China before the
Communists took over, plus the
attempt to convert the country
from an agricultural nation to a
nation oriented to heavy industry
could be the government's biggest
problem.
This is especially true because
the Communists are interested in
attaining maximum power for the
state, rather than raising the in-
dividual's status.
Changing Human Attitudes
Also a problem, he said, is!
"changing the minds of one
fourth of the human race" to ac-
cept comunist ideology. China
has a history of authoritarian-
ism, Boorman added, helps it to
install their "totalitarian appar-
atus of control."
During a question and answer
period, Boorman said he did not
believe the Communists would al-
low American newspapermen free
access to news sources in China,
and commented that their travpls
would amount to a "guided tour."
He added, however, that experi-
enced foreign correspondents
would not be hodwinked by the
Chinese.
Forced Into Government
Among the techniques which
have been used by the Reds to
establish their rule is forced par-
ticipation in government activity
of persons who have never parti-
cipated before.
They also "continue to tolerate
non-communist elements in gov-
ernment", Boorman said, if it
suits their own ends, and cited as
tion of some war lords who in the
an example the powerful posi-
past few decades fought the Com-
munists bitterly.
Among the influences which
have aided the Communists, he
said, is the new interest in a mod-
ern China which has aroused a
spirit of nationalism in the people.
They have also given the coun-
try its first single national gov-
ernment since the 19th Century,
he stated and have constructed a
communications network which
enables the central government to
transmit its orders throughout
the nation in a minimum of time.
ON RADIO, TV:
Eisenhower
To Justify
His Budget
WASHINGTON (AP) -President
Dwight Eisenhower said yesterday
he plans to take directly to the
American people, in one, or more
likely two, radio-TV addresses, his
case for adopting his $71,800,000
budget pretty much as it stands.
Pres. Eisenhower told a news
conference there is no hope for
real slash in government spending
unless a very great easing of world
tensions makes it possible to cut
the present "stupendous" expen-
ditures for defense.
The President at the same time
voiced 100 per cent agreement with
Secretary of the Treasury George
Humphrey, who said last January
that unless the "terrific tax take"
is reduced this country will have
"a depression that will curl your
hair."
Pres. Eisenhower said he and
Sec. Humphrey "jointly prepared
a letter" on which the Treasury
head's depression views w e r e
based. He added, in answer to a
question, that Sec. Humphrey
wants to leave the Cabinet and
must do so "sooner or later"-
though not, he implied, because of
any disagreement with the Presi-
dent.
"Feeling fine," as he put it, after
a good deal of exposure to the sun
in recent weeks, the chief execu-
tive put sharp emphasis on this
statement: "The monetary policy
of this government is mine, and no
one underneath me is going to
change my policy."
He was referring here to a ques-
tion whether Sec. Humphrey's suc-
cessor might ease the administra-
tion's "tight money" policy.
On Capitol Hill, where strong
moves have developed to cut the
1957-58 budget, Senate Majority
L e a d e r Lyndon Johnson (D-
Texas) told reporters later he ex-
pects "more controversy and more
pruning."
Turning to foreign affairs Pres.
Eisenhower told 232 newsmen that
this country is paying no heed in
its defense planning to Soviet
threats against various countries
to dissuade them from letting the
United States set up nuclear
weapons bases on their territory.
He said the Russians' recent
"open sky" proposal-they'd get
the privilege of -inspecting Alaska
and the western United States by
air and grant similar access to an
area of the Soviet Union - shows
the London disarmament talks are
bringing "more honest and hard
work" than in the past.

SGC Okays Spring Rush Calendar
By RICHARD TAUB
Student Government Councilf
approved an all-spring rush pro-

Action came after more than
two hours of debate on the rela-
tive merits of two calendars. Origi-

committee had planned to propose
only one calendar.

However, after a hurried meet-

of 10 to 7.

Fire Ruins
750 Acres
By The Associated Press
One of Michigan's worst forest
fires in years was brought under
control last night after destroying
at least 750 acres of timber in the
Huron National Forest near Lake
?Huron.
The blaze burned to within two
miles of the village of Footside and
destroyed two buildings at the Au
Sable ski bowl before being tamed.
At one time the Wurtsmith Air
F o r c e Base near Oscoda lay
directly in the path of the flames,
but the strong winds shifted. The
fire spread to within 8 miles of
the town of Oscoda and leaped the
Au Sable river, one of Michigan's
favorite fishing streams, at a point
where the banks are 200 feet apart.
More than 400 persons, including
at least 300 from the air base,
fought the fire.
Winds with gustsof up to 40
miles an hour helped to sweep the
fire into a part of the Alpena
State Forest.
The fire, a "crown" blaze in the
tops of trees, defied all attempts
in its early hours to bring it un-
der control, leaping ditches dug
by bulldozers and plows.
Meanwhile sections of wood-
lands in the northeastern United
States - parched by a month-
long drought - lay in blackened
ruins yesterday as the flaming
menace of forest fires was stirred
anew by brisk winds.

Board Postpones Selection

Spring appointments to Gargoyle editorial positions were "post-

After naming new Generation editors and , Michigan-ensian

Postponement did not reflect on the work of outgoing Gargoyle

Both calendars were modifica-
tions of a former Panhel recom-
mendation.
The new calendar calls for mix-
ers to begin Friday, Feb. 7, with
final desserts ending on Friday,
Feb. 28. It provides eight free days
distributed throughout the rush
program.
The SGC committee majority
calendar called for a more con-
densed program. Mixers were to
begin on Friday, Feb. 7 and final
desserts were set for Feb. 25 and
26.
There were two basic dier-
ences in the calendars. The ma-
pority report had compressed the
tabulation period so rushing could
take place on the same day as the
tabulating, and the Panhel report
moved the beginning of the fourth
set to a later date.
The Panhel calendar, according
to Miss Houck, was designed pri-
marily to ease tensions. Their pro-

gram is less intensive. This, Miss
Houck explained, will give the
women more time to study and
participate in campus activities.
Another reason for bringing final
desserts to a later date, was to
guarantee that sororities would
have the women's grades by that
time.
The question and discussion
period was long and involved. It
revolved primarily about the con-
flicts with women's activities,
proper attention given to the indi-
vidual who had to rush, and in-
ternal rights of Panhellenic Asso-
ciation.
Both the present and past Ju-
nior Girls' Play chairmen were
called to the table, to explain the
conflicts with this activity's re-
hearsals. Questions about rehear-
sals were asked that neither
chairman could answer.
arol Bamburger, '60, chairman
of the SGC calendar committee,
was asked to explain the activities
calendar for next year, and Scott
Chrysler, '58, showed the coun-
cil a long list of League activities
scheduled during the proposed
rush period.
At one point, Maynard Gold-
man '59, offered a modified SGC
calendar, which several members
of the council made much of.
Rob Trose, '58, Interfraternity
Council President finally called
the question, after saying that
"Spring rush is perhaps here to
stay." It's calendaring takes ore-.
cedent over other activities, and
in the future these will have to be
built around the program, he said.
Would Slow
Mail Service
New Expenses Cited
To Sub-Committee
As Reason
WASHINGTON (M-)-Postmaster
General Arthur Summerfield told
Congress yesterday he will again
order cuts in postal service, effec-
tive July 1, unless the lawmakers
vote him an extra 79 to 90 million
dollars for fiscal 1958.
Summerfield sounded this warn-
ing to a Senate Appropriations
subcommittee, which then went
into closed session and -voted to
restore 32 million dollars of the
58 million cut by the House from
the Post Office Department's 1958
budget.
The postmasters general had
said the full 58 million would have
to be restored, and that still an-
other 70 to 90 million would be
needed.
More Money Asked
He said the extra money would
be requested in a supplemental
appropriation bill.
Summerfield said a "phenome-
nal" increase in mail volume has
made it necessary to seek more
money to maintain full service in
the coming fiscal year.
If the money isn't forthcoming,
he said, postal service cuts will be
ordered into effect on July 1, 1957,
the first day of fiscal 1958.
Like First Threat
This was reminiscent of Sum-
merfield's threat-which he car-
ried out - to curtail service last
month unless Congress voted him
an extra 47 million dollars for fis-
cal 1957.
These cuts went into effect April
13 but were substantially lifted
three days later after Congress
voted the department a deficiency
appropriation of 41 million dollars.
The subcommittee actionret-
ing 32 million of the 58 million
House cut in the department's
budget is subject to feview when
the full Appropriations Committee
votes on the bill Thursday.
Maurice H. Stans, deputy post-
master general, told reporters that
any money not restored would be
added to the amount requested in
a supplemental money bill.

CATASTROPHE IN A DAY:
Warnings Heard on Russian Might

came this:
