Acceptance
Of , ire
WASHINGTON (M-Russia is
maneuvering to force United
States acceptance of its political
stranglehold on Communist East-
ern Europe.
This was described by tnifed
States officials yesterday as a
major purpose behind Moscow's.
insistent drive for an East-West
summit conference.
This exchange, including an un-
expected 'message from Premier
Nikolai Bulganin to President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, showed
that the Kremlin and the White
House are talking about two dif-
ferent kinds of summit meetings.
Disarmament Issue
It %lso confirmed earlier impres-
sions here and in Western Europe
that barring major concessions on
one side or the other, the only
major issues with which a summit
meeting can grapple directly are
in the field of disarmament.
Secretary of State John Foster
Illes accused the Soviets of sim-
ply wanting a "spectacle" confer-
ence which would deceive the
world into thinking that peace has
come at last.
What Dulles did not spell out is
that United States and allied lead-1
era see a deception as a dangerous
weapon in the hands of the Rus-
si ns. They fear it would weaken
t e resolve of the free nations to
preserve their system of anti-
Communist alliances and their
resistance to Communist pressure.
Significance Goes Further
But the significance of the spec-
tacle, high officials said yesterday,
would go much farther. The dra-
matic meeting which the Soviets
seek could be converted by them
into a symbol of Western accept-
ance. of the vast empire which
Soviet communism has formed
during and since World War II.
It is because of such vital con-
siderations as these, officials de-
Glared, that President Eisenhower
and Dulles have rejected Russia's
ternis for a summit conference.
They have insisted on the kind of,
conference-and preliminary pre-
parations - which they think
would protect the interests of the
Western powers.
. Second-place MSU had a total
76 points followed by QSU with,
2. Iowa had 47, Illinois'34, ndi-
na 30%, Wisconsin 131/2, Minne-
ota 12, Purdue 8, and Northwest-
Michigan smashed through the
ret three events ofthe'evening
ith victories: Tashnick in the
00-yd. butterfly, Hanley in the
30-yd. freestyle and Hopkins in
he 200-yd breaststroke.
Hanley Raien
Tashnick's performance was
spectacular. Entering the Big Ten
meet for the first time in his
career, the Detroit MacKenzie pro-
duct gained his third victory of'
the meet last night by swimming
the butterfly in a j time of only
two-tenths seconds off. the Big
Teni andworld record, established
by OMU's Al Wiggins in 1957.
Tashnick's time was :54.5.
Hanley had entered the free-.
style with top competition expect-
ed from Iowa's Gary Morris and
Michigan State's Don Patterson.
Both Morris and Pattersop got off
to flying starts with Hanley swim-
ming third at the end of the last
lap.
But getting his second wind Han-
ley sprinted home a winner, thus.
beating out two of the finest free-
stylers in the nation.
Hopkins Triumphs,
Hopkins won the 200-yd. breast-
stroke as he faced his top rival,
MSU's Frank Modine, in the finals.
Hopkins sprinted the last 15 yards
to win the race, while Modine
finished a surprising fourth..
The M'ichigan team spirit was
excellent. Coach Gus Stager stated
the team certainly was the great-
est he had ever coached and the
greatest that he had ever seen. He
UAW Asks
For'Sanity'
In Hearings
Challenges Senator
To Prove Accusation
WASHINGTON (') - Walter P.
Reuther yesterday urged "sanity"
in the Senate Rackets Commit-
tee's investigation of the Kohler
Co. strike so the "hearing does not
continue to deteriorate into a
political brawl and name - calling
contest."
The United Auto Workers Union
president at the same time chal-
lenged a committee member, Sen.
Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.), to try
and prove before a selected six-
member panel of ministers Sen.
Goldwater's recent charges Reu-
ther and the UAW "are a more
dangerous menace than the Sput-
niks or anything Russia might do."
Would Reign if wrong
If the ministers, three to be se-
lected by each, uphold the sena-
tor's view, Reuther said he would
resign his presidency of the UAW,
vice-presidency of the AFL-CIQ,
and quit the labor movement en-
tirely.
If the panel'decides against Sen.
Goldwater, Reuther said in a let-
ter to the Arizona Republican, "I
would leave it up to your own
conscience as to whether you would
consider yourself fit to continue
to play a role in American public
life. "
There was no immediate com-
ment from Sen. Goldwater.
Hearings 'Sad'
In the Senate's investigation of
the UAW's four-year-old strike
against the Kohler Co., a Wiscon-
sin plumbingware manufacturer,
Reuther said that hearings in the
last 10 days "have been a, sad
spectacle of recrimination by both
the company and the union, into
which certain members of the
committee have become involved.
"I believe that ,a continuation of
this emotionally explosive atmos-
phere in these hearings can only
create further bitterness between
the Kohler Co. and its striking
employes and make a sane, sen-
sible and just settlement of this
dispute more difficult....
Urges Sanity
"I appeal to you ... to be will-
ing to discuss the Kohler situation
on its merits and on the facts, un-
related to the political differences
between us, no matter how deeply
you or we may feel about those
differences. I sincerely urge sanity
in the"Kohe nestigato.,.
Reuther and Sen. Goldwater
often have swapped charges ofliar
and used invectives in discussing
each other.
Letter Released
[n his letter, released in Detroit
today, the UAW chief accused the
senator of telling a Republican
fund-raising dinner audience in
Detroit Jan. 20 that "'Walter Reu-
ther and the UAW are a more
dangerous menace than the Sput-
niks or anything Russia might
do.'"
"Rather than step up the volume
and the velocity of the name-call-'
ing cntest," Reuther proposed his
six-minister panel as a "sensible,
sane, and democratic method" of
deciding whether the accusation is
true or false.

CASTRO:

To Stage,
Cuba Strike
HAVANA, Cuba (RI--Rebel lead-
er Fidel Castro's threat to call a
general revolutionary strike at any
hour sent' fear surging through
Cuba -yesterday.
Some United States citizens sent
their families to Miami and else-
where in the United States. Those
who stayed stocked up on food
supplies. Havana's big foreign
colony was tense.
Rebel sources said Castro may
call the strike for tomorrow-
the sixth anniversary of President
Fulgencio. Batista's rise to power.
Castro has predicted a strike would
topple Bastista.
Calls Off Fete
There are indications of sone
nervousness within Batista's gov-
ernment. Batista Friday called off
his own anniversay celebrations
scheduled for tomorrow. He has
given his troops orders to be ready
to crush any general walkout of
workers.
Rebel bulletins flooded Havana
and other major cities.
"Our final blow," they said,
"will be a general revolutionary
strike,.I7&mly organized in all
workers' sections and with spon-
taneous colloboration of the Cuban
people."
\ Rebel Bulletin
They said Batista will be over-
thrown and the "comedy of false
elections" will be ended.
The campaign for the presiden-
tial election June 1 is getting un-
der way. Opposition candidates
charge, however, they have no real
chance of bucking Batista's candi-
date, former Premier Jose Aguero
Rivero.
The rebel bulletins recalled that
general strike'precededthe
downf all of dictator Marcos Perez
Jimenez in -Venezuela earlier this
year.
Castro is seeking what he lacked
in two previous strike calls last
year-coordination. He promises
that the strike will be well-timed
and fully supported.

U.S Fanmies
United States oil company officials
went into a meeting with Ambas-
sador Howard P. Jones to survey
plans for evacuating American oil
workers and their dependents in
central Sumatra.
Revolutionary army headquar-
ters at Padang, central Sumatra,
said it expected government troop1
landings in that area within 24
hours. Two Jakarta air force
bombers dropped leaflets over Pa-
dang warning an invasion would
take, place "in a very short time."
Informed sources said former
Vice-president Mohammed Hatta's
insistence on a truce before ne-
gotiating a settlement with the
rebels brought the sudden post-
ponement ofa meeting with Presi-
dent Sukarno Friday.'
Hatta wants to link a truce with
the formation of a presidential
cabinet. Sukarno wants to take up
these problems separately.
Hatta, a former political ally of
Sukarno, would be a member of
the new cabinet. Many quarter
feel his inclusion in the govern-
ment would bring the rebels
around to making peace.
Hatta quit the government more
than a year ago after Sukarno had
set up his program for "guided
democracy." Hatta claimed the
Communists would have too much
influence on the government.
WASHINGTON W)--Rep. Rich-
ard M. Simpson (R-Pa.) yesterday
threw his influential weight be-
hind. the congressional movement
for a sizeable tax cut.
He called for a six-billion-dollar
slash applying to both individuals
and businesses effective immedi-
ately.
Simpson is the third-ranking
Republican on the tax-writing
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee, He also is chairman of the
Republican Congressional Cam-
paign Committee.
His tax reduction proposals were
unfolded in a Lincoln Day speech'
at Parkerburg, W. Va. In a copy:
of his prepared remarks issued
here, Simpson called for these
cuts:
1) An across-the-board 10 per
cent cut in individual income
taxes, plus lowering the top in-
come tax rate from 91 to 70 per
cent, Estimated tax relief: $3,700,-
000,000.
2) Reduction of corporate in-
come tax. rates from 52 to 50 per
cent. Estimated relief: 800 million
dollars.
3) Tax benefits for small busi-
nesses as recomended by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower. Estimated
relief: 200 million dollars.
4) Cuts in various types of ex-
cise taxes, including repeal of the
tax on transportation of persons
and lowering of excise on autos.
Estimated cost: $1,300,000,000.
Capt. Pete Tillotson playing hisK
last game then charged down the
court on a fast break. With a deft
change of pace he paused as an,
Iowa defender flew past him, off
the court, and laid up a two-
pointer to make the score 89-84.
.The Hawkeyes still had some
fight left. Coning back with less
than three minutes to go they'
trailed by one,-8-88.
Lewis High Score;
Lewis then made his move,
smoothly forcing Iowa to foul.him,
he hit six for six in the last two
minutes to give Michigan its win-
ning margin. He was high man
for the Wolverines with 22 points
on five field goals and 12 foul shots
in 12 attempts. Iowa forward Dave
Gunther was top scorer for the
night with 23. George Lee and
Tillotson notched 21 apiece.
Michigan opened up a ,45-34
halftime lead with some of the
most fantastie shooting and play-
ing seen in the Field House this
year.

three reasons, according to Woj-
ciak, chairman of the committee:
first, for entertainment; to give

standing musical talent on cam-
pus; and to give student musicians
the, chanc6 to perform for a large
group.
"Very seldom do music students
get to perform as soloists or mem-
bers of groups of soloists for a
large audience," )Wojciak said.
