Mobs Riot As Civil War
Follows Feud in Haiti
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (A') - Apparent civil war flared yester-
day from Haiti's bitter and tumultuous political feuding.
Mobs raged through the streets of Port au Prince, looting, burn-
ing and stoning buildings.
Small arms fire crackled throughout the capital as two rival
chiefs of staff battled for control of the army and Haiti. Coast

LANSING-A $30,250,000 oper-
ating budget and a $7,159,000
capital-outlay program for the
University were approved last
night by the legislature.
Final passage in the House came
after a heated partisan floor bat-
tle. The bill passed the Senate on
the first vote, 33-1.
The' operating budget was a
compromise between the $30,315,-
000 originally approved by the
House and the $29.1 million fav-
ored by the Senate.
House Opposition
Stiffest opposition to the bill
came from the House where two
legislative conferences were called
before final passage, 60-46.
The Rouse unanimously passed
the University's capital-outlay
program 100-0.
A oitter House fight came on a
$20,800,000 operating budget ap-
propriation for Michigan State
University. A 1;compromise gave
MSU $21,000,000 for operation and
$251,000 for capital outlay.

WASHINGTON (P) -President
Dwight D. Eisenhower settled an
argument in his official family
yesterday and directed Harold
Stassen to negotiate with Russia
for a disarmament treaty designed
to bring the atomic arms race to
an early end.
After a dramatic White House
meeting of the President and high
aides, it was announced that is-
sues had been "resolved." Stassen

Committee
To Compile
Fallout Data
WASHINGTON (P)-A congres-
sional subcommittee sets out to-
morrow to gather into one pack-
age the nation's best scientific
data on the dangers of fallout
from nuclear explosions.
A worldwide debate as to wheth-
er these dangers are great enough

tramck) said "The University got
more money than it*deserved. If It
wants money it should raise stu-
dent tuitidn."
Carey Heads Opposition
Rep. Edward Carey of Detroit,
Democratic floor leader, spear-
headed his party's opposition to
both bills.
"MSU has expanded more rapid-
ly than the University in recent
years. It is not fair to" cut the
MSU budget by such a large
amount and not the University's,"
Carey said.
The conference committee's ap-
propriation bills reduced MSU's
operating budget by $1 million.
The committee also deleted the
Senate's amendment that would
have enabled the universities to
begin immediate construction by
financing bonds with up to 40 per
cent of student fees.
The University could have ob-
tained $13,331,000 and MSU $12,-
365,000 under the amendment.
University President Harlan
Hatcher said the dropping of the
bonding amendment "doesn't sur-
prise me. It has a great many in-
herent problems."
University officials indicated
they were prepared to go ahead
with the prop'osal if it was passed.
The Republicans opposed the
bonding amendment because it
was of no benefit to smaller
schools, would result in increased
tuition and would have given a
X21 million interest rate for 14
years.
House Defeats Proposal
The House defeated the appro-
priation proposal of the first con-
ference commnittee, 48-45, after
several Republican voted with the
Democrats.
After the vote a Republican
caucus and a second conference
committee was called.
An hour later the bill was pa'ssed
with MSU getting a $220,000 ap-
propriation increase.
With the capital outlay funds
appropriated, the University will
be able to complete only those
buildings now under construction.
Those include: the Undergrad-
uate Library, the Social Science
and Language Building, and one
unit oof the Fluids, Engineering
Building on North Campus.
Pleven Sees
Long Crisis
In France,
PARIS (A') - Rene Pleven
plunged into the French political
whirlpool yesterday and sent out
word that a solution for thena-
tion's Cabinet crisis will be a tough
job and takes a long time.
This surprised no one.
The tall ex-prenier, leader of a
middle-road splinter group, set
up temporary headquarters in an
annex of, the Foreign Ministery to
begin a series of talks with leaders
of other parties and with promi-
nent officials.
Spokesmen for Pleven's own
party, the Socialist and Demo-
cratic Union of the Resistance,
UDSR, emphasized that Pleven
does not intend to form a Cabinet
himself.
They stressed that he is simply
acting as agent for President Rene
Coty, in sounding out political
opinion on who and what can put
a new Cabinet together.
This position could, however, be
only a maneuver to set the stage
for a "draft" of Pleven to succeed
Premier Guy Mollet as chief of
government.
Mollet resigned Tuesday when
Parliament rejected his tax pro-
posals to pay for France's cam-
paign against the rebels in Algeria.
Guard artillery began firing into
the city in midafternoon,
Communication Cut
Soon after 'this dispatch was
sent all cable communication be-
tween Haiti and New York was
cut.
An attendant at the radio sta-
tion eight miles outside Port au
Prince - the last point in Haiti
that could be reached bytelephone
-said he was closing down "be-
cause the situation is going from
bad to worse."
The attendant said there was
no telephone communication be-
tween his station and the city and
that strikes had halted all trans-
port.
"It's Getting Dangerous"
"There are many rioters and it's
getting very dangerous," he said.
"I must get back to my home."
Police Chief Col, Pierre Armand
attempted a coup by seizing army
headquarters.
He was trying to replace Briga-
dier General Leon Cantave, the
army chief of staff who overthrew
the Negro republic's civilian Exec-
utive Council last Tuesday.
But Cantave refused to submit,
and the army split wide open. The
coast guard appeared to be back-
ing Armand.
Storms Lash
Midwest rea,
Cause Floods
By The Associated Press
Tornadoes, torrential rains and
hailstorms lashed sections of Tex-
as, Oklahoma and Arkansas again
yesterday.
The downpour, accompanied by
winds ranging up to 75 miles an
hour in gusts, sent already swollen
streams and rivers swirling out-
of. their banks to flood highways,
streets, underpasses and low-lying
residential sections in dozens of
cities.
More than 400 families fled their
homes in Fort Worth, Tex., where
flood damage was said to be the
worst since a similar disaster in
1949.
An early morning tornado de-
stroyed a house and several-barns
and damaged other buildings at
Kibler, near Fort Smith, Ark.
Yesterday's violent weather fol-
lowed in the wake of tornadoes
that swept across Texas and Okla-
homa Friday.

ting a swift end to anti-American
rioting that wrecked the United
States Embassy and other centers.
As the tension eased, United
States authorities relaxed their
warnings for Americans to stay out
of sight.
Americans were advised they
could move out of door§ again
without undue risk, but were told
to hold their excursions to a mini-
mum for the time being.
Smoldering Resentment
Smoldering resentment s t111
could be sensed and most Ameri-
cans sat tight. United States mili-
tary personnel donned civilian
garb when venturing out.
Overcast skies and intermittent
downpours emphasized the dismal
situation in Taipei and there was
little Saturday night gaiety after
night fell. There seemed to be a
feeling that it would be a long
time before things were as they
used to be on this island.
President C h i a n g Kai-shek's
government held a special two-
hour meeting to discuss Friday's
fierce outburst in which the United
States Embassy, Consulate and In-
formation Office were wrecked,
more than a dozen cars smashed
and 13 Americans beaten or man-
handled.
Aquittal Triggered Riot
Resentment at theacquittal by
a United States court-martial of
an American soldier, Master Sgt.
Robert R. Reynolds of Cobora, Md.,
on a charge of voluntary man-
slaughter, triggered the rampage.
The sergeant shot and killed a
Chinese laborer he charged with
peeping at his wife in her shower
March 20. The sergeant said the
Chinese attempted to attack him.
The six men and two girls in-
side the embassy who bore the
brunt of the violent demonstration
told how seven waves of rioters
surged through the two - story
brick building smashing furniture
and typewriters and hurling docu-
ments and wreckages out the win-
dows.

By CARL RISEMAN
Special to The Daily
EVANSTON - Michigan's tennis team turned in a near-perfect
performance under rain-soaked skies at Northwestern's tennis courts
