Committee ' To Produce More Facts Beck Refuses To Senate He Knows Tell Son 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. World News Roundup By The Associated Press SSupport Doctrine WASHINGTON - Special Am- bassador James P. Richards re- 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 50-day tour of the area. * * * Reach Accord .. . pBON, Germany -- BritishC Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer ended their private talks yester- day amid indicatiois they had gone far in resolving deep differ- 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. Of AFTER LONG DEBATE: SGC Okays Spring Rush Calendar By RICHARD TAUB Student Government Councilf approved an all-spring rush pro- gram for women last night. Action came after more than two hours of debate on the rela- tive merits of two calendars. Origi- nally, the SGC spring rush study committee had planned to propose only one calendar. Another MVail However, after a hurried meet- ing of this committee, Panhellenic Association President Marilyn Houck '58Ph, presented a second calendar as the minority report of the committee. This calendar replaced the ma- jority program by a council vote of 10 to 7. PAUL I. BOORMAN ...speaks on China 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. Weather forecasts held no hope of relief Cut -Daily-David Arnold GENERATION EDITORS-David Newman (center), was named managing editor of Generation last night, Alice Adelman (left), will serve as publications director, John Gillis (right), as business manager. Board Postpones Selection Of New Gargoyle Editors Spring appointments to Gargoyle editorial positions were "post- poned" last night by the Board in Control of Student Publications. After naming new Generation editors and , Michigan-ensian copy editor, the Board announced it had "deferred appointments to the Gargoyle staff pending presentation of an adequate program for the publication of a quality humor magazine with an adequate staff." Postponement did not reflect on the work of outgoing Gargoyle editors, nor on the three petitioners, Board Chairman John Reed of the Law School empha- 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- Roll Call Following is the vote to sub- stitute the Panhellenic program for the SGC Committee major- ity report, taken at last night's meeting, Shorr (Chairman) YES: Alexander, Chrysler, Gregg, Houck, Martin, Scruggs, Sherburne, Trost, Winkelhaus, Wrona. NO: Collins, Duane, Eckstein, Goldman, Neary, Segel, Young. 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. Colombian Head Named Amid Strife BOGOTA, Colombia ()-Presi- dent Gustavo Rojas Pinilla was re-elected yesterday for a four- year term, to begin in 1958. A handpicked Constituent As- sembly voted 76-1 to keep him in office despite violent anti-Rojas demonstrations that had kept the country in an uproar since last Friday. Several members of a Conserv- ative faction opposing Rojas' re- election boycotted the session. Took to Streets Pro-Rojas supporters took to the streets yesterday before the session and demanded the reopen- ing of banks and industries shut down in protest against Roj as' re- election. There were reports from Cala, 185 miles southwest of here, that from 15 to 50 persons were killed and more than 100 injured in anti- Rojas riots Tuesday. At least five persons have been killed in clashes in Bogota.

Donald A. Quarles, Air Force secretary at the time the report was Prepared and now deputy secretary of defense, wrote that:s "The Soviet Union is now able to inflict catastrophic damage on this country in a single day. The ability of our air defense system to meet this threat is steadily growing, but the threat also is growing - at an equal or possibly greater rate. "We must anticipate the great- est threat of all to our national security - the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile - and prepare an effective defense against it." From Charles Thomas, Navy secretary who recently resigned, came this: "The Soviets have nuclear wea- pons and guided missiles and are well aware of the importance ofj adapting them to shipboard use. "The Soviet Union today is the Hike Technicians Pay WASHINGTON - The Defense pay raises for 350,000 enlisted Department yesterday ordered technicians.
