LXVIII, No. 107 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 1958 Reds Set To Release Airline Passengers Two Americans, 32 Others Aboard Plane Kidnapped by North Koreans TOKYO (N)-Communist North Korea announced last night it is ready to free two Americans and any of the 32 others aboard a kidnapped South Korean airliner.. A broadcast from the capital of Pyongyang said the two American pilots and two West Germans would be turned over "at an appropriate time" at the truce village of Panmunjom or some place inside North Korea "mutually agreed upon." The annotncement was a sharp reversal of the stand Pyongyang took shortly after the plane landed two weeks ago near the North Korean capital. North Korea said then it would free those aboard only if the South Korean government would negotiate for their release. Now, "Pyongyang said it even would free Sany of the 30 Koreans aboard who STROKE: 'want to go home.

Karl Mundt (R-S.D.) said yesterday "the most eloquent testimony" about the guns and teai gas bought by the Kohler Co. after its employes were organized by the United Auto Workers was that none of it was used. He told newsmen this reflected to the credit of both the company and the union during a bitter strike, now nearly four years old, in that it testified to "self restraint on both sides." Mundt is a member of the spe- cial Senate Labor - Management Rackets Committee that is investi- gating the violence that has oc- curred during United Auto Work- ers' strike against the Kohler, Wis., plumbing fixtures company. Told of Violence In the first three days of the hearings, to be resumed Monday afternoon, the committee has re- ceived testimony about mass picketing by the union, various acts of violence and vandalism, and the company's purchase of guns and ammunition. Mundt said it was "too early to draw conclusions," but Sen. Pat McNamara (D - Mich.), another committee meber, said in a, separate interview he feels that "so far the. company looks worse than the union."~ McNamara also described the hearings as "dull and not import- ant," adding he was interested in improper activities and racketeer- ing but that these elements wer, absent from the current inquiry. Members Disagree The hearings got under way only after a battle among the com- mittee members, evenly divided be- tween Republicans and Democrats, over procedure. In the end the Republicans won their fight to prevent Walter Reu- ther, president of the United Auto Workers, and Herbert Kohler, the company president, from being called as the lead-off witnesses. They insisted on others being heard first. Robert Kennedy, the commit- tee's counsel, said he hoped to call Reuther and Kohler late next week. Mundt said he thought that after another week's testimony "we should have a clear idea of the kind of questions" to direct to the top officials of the union and the company. He said while there had been testimony about vandalism and acts of violence, the committee had yet to pin down who was respon- sible for it.

The relay was the deciding event in Michigan's 72-69 triumph last night. wolverine Cindermen Top Buckeyes, 72-69 By JIM BENAGH Glenn Davis beat everything Michigan had to offer last night but he-couldn't overcome "lady luck," as the. Wolverines nipped the Buckeye trackmen in the final event, 72-69, at Yost Field House. Davis won four firsts in as many events when he lined up as anchorman for the deciding event of the meet, the mile relay. OSU had a 64-62 lead at the time. But Ohio's leadoff runner, sophomore Dick Strayer, dropped his baton at the start of his second lap after a battle for positions with Michigan's Jim Simpson. The Buckeye quickly picked up his baton, but --am Zariti i~ Prof. Nicholas D. Kazarinoff of the mathematics department yes- terday called Friday's State De- partment announcement, that the re-entry request of mathematician Paul Erdos is under consideration, the "first time" the government has officially gone on record in the case.. Erdos, a Hungarian-born expert in number theory who came to this country in 1938, requested re- entry permission in 1954 when he left the United States to travel in Europe. Permission was denied when the Immigration Service in Detroit claimed he planned to travel in Russian - dominated countries of Eastern Europe and that such a trip was not in the best interests of the United States. Noting that Erdos "felt it was the right of every citizen to go anywhere. on this earth," Prof. Kazarinoff added that Erdos went abroad primarily to deliver an ad- dress at the 1954 International Congress of, Mathematicians in Amsterdam.. Prof. Kazarinoff pointed out that the American Mathematical Society has retained a lawyer to represent Erdos. Concert Slated. For Tonight Fritz Reiner will conduct the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a Choral Union concert at 8:30 tonight in Hill Auditorium. I the damage was done: Michigan gained a 30-yd. margin. Falter in Relay Twice this season, Ohio had bet- tered the Wolverine quartet in meets, and had recorded the best mile relay time in the Big Ten- until Michigan State opened up with a 3:18.7 clocking today at East Lansing. Michigan's other relay members feasted on Strayer's mishap and breezed to then first victory of the year. Bruce Fischer, Ernie Simms and Don Matheson finished up the relay unpressed--with a mediocre 3:24.2. Ohio State coach Larry Snyder immediately announced that his team would not appear in Yost. Field House again unless Michigan adds an inside curb to its track, claiming this was the reason for Strayer's misfortune. Strayer Becomes Confused As he finished the first of his two laps, Strayer became confused and entered a hurdle lane, inside of the prescribed running track. When he came to the end of the lane he had to pull up quickly. Trying to get back to the running track, he jostled with Simpson and dropped his baton.
