Turns Down Jew Summit Bid Latest Soviet Conference Proposal Considered Unacceptable by Dulles Reveal College aculties 'U' Salaries well Above WASHINGTON (JP)-The United States yesterday rejected Russia's dd for a summit conference on Soviet terms. "As it stands, the position of the Soviet Union seems to be unac- eptable," Secretary of State.John Foster Dulles declared. The chief objection to the Soviet formula was that it failed to ermit adequate advance preparation which might turn up possible oints of United States-Soviet agreement. Proposal 'Ambiguous' Dulles labeled the Soviet formula as ambiguous because, he said; he Russians say they want summit agreements but block diplomatic explorations which might pave the m e det) n d i s a b i l i t y t o ud iitrduce WASHINGTON (M)-A group of Democratic and Republican sena- tors introduced yesterday a con- stitutional amendment that would supplant the disability arrange- ment between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. Sen. William Knowland. (R- Calif.) said the proposal is "gen- erally acceptable" to the Eisen- hower administration. President Eisenhower called for an amendment two years ago after he suffered the first of three seri- ous illnesses-his 1955 heart at- tack. Fixes Procedures The proposal amendment fixes procedures under which the vice- president would become acting president should the chief execu- tive become disabled. Its chief sponsors were Sens. Estes Kefau- ver (D-Tenn.), and Everett Dirk- sen (R-I.)- Sen. Knowland said he hopes for early action by the Senate Ju- diciary Committee on the plan. Agrees with Rodgers Sen. Kefauver told the Senate he agrees with Attorney General Rogers that the Constitution now gives the vice-president sole re- sponsibility for determining whether a president is unable to carry out his duties, if the presi- dent himself does not make such a finding. This is the procedure to be fol- lowed under the Eisenhower-Nixon agreement made public Monday. } R ecord Field Enters prin' GCElection A record number of candidates .-19-turned in their petitions yesterday for the Student Govern- ment Council elections March 25 and 26. The previous high of 14 candi- dates for a regular election was set in March 1956, and tied in November of that year. Twenty- four persons ran for 11 posts in March, 1955, in SGC's first elec- tion. The present number of candi- d sates, however, is a, record for regular elections since then., Petitioning for SGC closed yes- Fterday, although 'candidates for other campus offices nhave until next Wednesday to turn in peti- tions.. Those running for SGC Include * Steve Bailie, 60; Ted Bomb, '59; Peter Brown, '60; Scott Chrysler, '59BAd.; Ron Gregg, '60; Jo Har- dee, '60; Bruce Hoffman, '59; Carol' Holland, '60; and Paul Kampner, '59.

Wise, '59; Lois Wurster, '60; and Phil Zook, '60, are also candidates for the seven positions to be filled. Student Chief Vetoes Indiana ,Bias Proposal Ed Whalen, President of Indiana way for agreement. "I don't know of any significant matter where the presently known positions give a reasonable like- lihood of agreement," Dulles argued., "It may ...' be possible through' proper exploration to find some; we want a summit meeting tliat will really accomplish some- thing. Proposed Friday "We do not want to be a party to what would be a fraud, or a hoax and which would be merely a spectacle. Nor do we want to . . expose differences in an acrimonious way, which would increase tension." The Sgviet proposal was laid down in notes last Friday to the United States, Britain and France. The Soviets called in essence for a foreign ministers meeting in April with a prior commitment to, a summit conference in June. Gold War End 'Fiction' Dulles said -the, Russians are proposing with unscrupulous pro- paganda to "substitute a fiction for reality .. . a fiction that the cold war has come to an end." The secretary said the United States reply to the Soviet note would express "a willingness to proceed through any workable channels to arrive at what would be meaningful decisions." SOC ;Repoart Urges Center Be*,En larged A report urging an increase in the International Center staff and, asking for a study of the possi- bility of building a new center, will be givento Student Govern- ment Council at 7:30 p.m. today, in the Council Room of the Stu-. dent Activities Bldg. The report, prepared by a com- mittee chaired by Jean Scruggs, '58, points out the International Center has a staff of 10 for 1,414 international students. "Only three counselors are available.. . . The counselors must carry other re- sponsibilities due t¢ lack of per- sonnel," the report says. "In each service which the Cen- ter provides, be it filing cards or giving banquets, it is hindered by the inadequate facilities." The report recommends a fur-. ther study of the center.

U.S. Meant Incomes Don't Meet Rising Cost of Living By MICHAEL KRAFT "Shamefully low" average salary' figures for the nation's college faculty members were reported in Washington yesterday by the Fed- eral Department of Health, Edu- cation and Welfare.' While the University's faculty members are paid "quite a bit' above average," they have lost ground to the increasing cost of living and higher tax levels, 'Uni- versity fficials said. The udy announced yesterday of nearly 1,150 colleges and uni- versities reveals salaries for faculty members will average $6,120 this year. Average Here $7,960 University Vice - President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Nie- huss said the 1956-57 average here is' 47,960. However, according to a United States Department of Labor re- port, the cost of living has in- creased 98 per cent since 1939. The University has raised sal- aries ,12 per cent since, that time1 but increased federal taxes. havej caused the net disposable income of faculty members to actually de- cline two per cent since 1939, ac- cording to University figures. Percentage Increase Small The 12 per cent increase is one of . the smallest granted to any- group of workers in the United States. Employees of the State of Mich- igan have received increases aver- aging 55 per cent since 1939. How- ever,, a state senator said at the begining of the present legisla- tive session that pay hikes for civil service employees were unlikely and the same would thus be true" for faculty members. The Univer- sity is seeking a 10 per cent in- crease for faculty members, which would include merit increases and an across the board wage hike. At a Regents meeting held Feb- ruary 16, 1957, Vice President Nie- huss warned that other schools are "raiding" the University's teaching staff with offers of high- er pay, department chirmanships and deanships. Odegaard Climaxes Departures Faculty departures during the past year were climaxed by the announcement early last month that Charles E. Odegaard, dean of the literary college, will become president of the University of Washington in Seattle. Arthur Brandon last spring resigned as Director of University Relations to become vice-president of New York University. Pointing to competition with in- dustry for qualified personnel, Vice President Niehuss yesterday said that "compared with the income potential in professions which re- quire equal training and ability, the college teaching profession is definitely underpaid. "In order to make the field more attractive, it is essential that in- come opportunities be improved," he said. KOHLER: Violence In Strike Reported WASHINGTON (P)-Stories of dynamitings, shotgun blasts and acid throwings studded yesterday's testimony in the Senate Rackets Committee's investigation of the 45-month-old Kohler Co.strike. Most of the witnesses who de- picted themselves as targets of violence were non-striking work- ers at the Wisconsin bathroom fix- tures firm. One striker complained of being called "goon" and of having his car showered with acid. Moede Testifies Gilbert Moede, a Kohler worker since 1926; testified he didn't sup- port the United Auto Workers on its strike and,. after his country place was damaged by acid, he quit Kohler last summer in fear of further reprisals. Moede said he lives in a cot- tage about 80 iles north of the Kohler plant. He said while en- tering the plant pickets threatened that his cottage would be dam- aged. Acid Thrown He said finally this happened, that acid was thrown all 'over family antiques at the country place. "I had to give up my job on account of the strike activities," Moede said. "I just couldn't stand it any more. That's not a way to live." He said he quit despite strong feelings about a man's right to work.
