4 Ordinances
By LEWIS COBURN
City Council last night ap
proved at first reading changes in
city bicycle ordinances.
Two amendments, one concern-
ing a change in the period fo
which licenses will be issued and
the other dealing with a chang
in fees, were approved by vote
of 11-0.
.rFinal reading of the, amend
x ments will take place later in the
month.
Under the amended ordinances
bicycles would be licensed for two
year periods beginning Oct. I and
ending Sept. 30. Cost of the new
licenses would be one dollar com-
pared with the previous, 50-cen
charge.,
Dates Changed
In the past, licensing was on a
yearly basis with an April 1 renew-
al date. City Administrator Guy
C. Larcom told Council the Apri
date was "inconvenierit for college
kudeif" who had to renew 1i-
ens two months before leaving
.. town .for the Summer.
The Council also heard a repor
on progress of city zoning consult
ants. David A. Geer, headnof the
consulting firm, said one area
under consideration is the prob-
lem of. zoning University-owned
land and University-allied prop-
erties such as fraternities.
Geer said his group is trying to
arrange more formalized coopera-
tion with the University.
Fraternities 'Special'
He pointed out that fraterni-
ties, while somewhat allied to
rooming houses for zoning pur-
poses, are "sociologically" in a
special category.
In his report, Geer told Council
It would take from nine months
to a year to effect desirable
changes in zoning ordinances. He
said "pretty extensive revisions"
may be called for in the ordi
nances.
In other action Council author-
.ized Ann Arbor participation in
an Inter-Governmental Commit-
tee o the Huron River Watershed
by an 11-0 vote.
Also approved was provision
that three cents per capita be ap-
propriated as the city share of the
committee's initial operating cost.
Larcom told Council the com-
mittee's initial budget would be
$9,056 if all contacted units par-
ticipated.
Aaialard Plan
For Defense
Wins Approval
PARIS (P)-The French cabinet
last night unanimously approved
Premier Felix Gaillard's plan for
a Mediterranean-defense pact and
for an economic community to
develop Sahara resources.
Information Minister Emile Clams
parede announced the endorse-
ment after a three-hour cabinet

meeting with President Rene Coty.
The plan is subject to scrutin& by
Parliament.
Presumably France, Britain,
Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Italy and
Spain would be eligible for mem-
bership in the defense and eco-
nomic development pact. The pro-
posal, originally suggested by the
United States, makes no provision

ver Moles, Grad., will compile and
s check information gathered by the
approximately 40 other people
present at the meeting.
t The Congregational Student's

- tee will use this information, to-
n gether with information that
Brenda Ackermann, '58p., is now
, collecting for the committee, in
- documenting charges of a lack of
dormitory "integration."
The group outlined a roommate
policy that it wanted the Resi-
dence Hall Board of Governors to
adopt.
They unanimously agreed that
the University "should not mani-
fest" any policy that might lead
to discrimination, or "elicit infor-
mation in any form," in the areas
of race, religion, nationality, and
language spoken in the home.
A meeting set for Monday, will
attempt to formulate specific rec-
ommendations to the Board of
Governors.
The meeting came as an out-
r growth of the committee's petition
to the Board of Governors and as
e a desire to formulate specific
s plans and principles. At least six

TALKS:
Officials
tSay USSR
Anxious
WASHINGTON (' - Top ad-
ministration officials have become
convinced Russia is so desperate-
ly anxious for a summit meeting
the Soviets soon will agree on a
formula for one.
Although they profess not to
know quite why the Russians are
so anxious for talks at the high-
est level, American officials now
feel the Soviets will not continue
to Insist on conditions which the
United States has rejected.'
These officials, who decline to
be quoted by name, said this
country remains firm.in the posi-
tion that there must be adequate
preparation for discussion by the
heads of state and will not yield
on that issue.
No Concessions Made
Premier Nikolai Bulganin's lat-
est letter to President Dwight D.
Eisenhower made no concessions
on his previous proposals for a
foreign ministers conference that
would be limited to discussion of
only the technical arrangements
for a'summit meeting.
The United States has held that
the foreign ministers must work
out at least tentative agreements7
in some of the major issues caus-
ing East-West tension and Ameri-
can officials now believe there is
a growing disposition on the part
of the Russians to accept such
terms.
eR m Session Expected
Ong high official, who asked not
to be quoted by name, said he per-
sonally is convinced that there
will be a summit session.
United States allies have been
prodding this country for an ear-
ly conference, by July at the lat-
est. The question of timing ob-
viously is proving a difficult one.
If a meeting is held - possibly
in this country - administration
officials fear that they would not
get the kind of bipartisan cooper-
ation they believe is necessary if
it were staged in the middle of
the campaign for control of Con-
gress.

Petitioning for all-campus sub-
sidiary elections closes at 6 p.m.

Batista Sets
Cuban Poll
Protection
HAVANA, Cuba (OP) - Guarded
by thousands of troops, President
Fugencio Batista told the nation
last night Cuban rebels would not
block the June 1 presidential
election.
He said the electorate would be
protected by Cuban armed forces.
Batista spoke on a nationwide
radio-TV hookup from an army
garrison near Havana in observ-
ance of the fifth anniversary of
his seizure of power from Presi-
dent Carlos Prio Socarras.
The usual national holiday was
called off by Batista after rumors
spread that rebel leader Fidel
Castro might call a general strike
In an effort to topple the regime.
With heavily armed government
forces on guard through the na-
tion, Cuba's commerce and indus-
try operated normally. Some reb-
el informants said Castro may
wait until the end of the month to
call the strike.
Rebel sources said there is "con-
siderable work yet to be done in
sabotaging business, industrial
and. transport enterprises to as-
sure a firm groundwork for a suc-
cessful strike."
Ask Boost
For Defense.
WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary
of Defense Neil McElroy said last
night he is preparing to ask'Con-
gress for nearly 11/2 billion dollars
extra during the next fiscal year.
That will boost 1959 defense
appropriations for the 12 months
starting July 1 well over the 40
billion dollar mark.
Returning from a nine-day va-
cation-business trip, M4cElroy said
he would be surprised if the addi-
tional money he will ask does not
include orders for more B52 stra-
tegic bombers.
The defense boss told reporters
at National Airport he expects to
find on his desk a study by the
Joint Chiefs of Staff recommend-
ing priority projects calling for
more than has been provided in
the $39,100,000,000 military bud-
get now being considered by the
Congress for the next fiscal year.

In Padang "Showdown
BUKITIINGGI, Central Sumat-
ra M)-Indonesian warships and
planes lightly shelled and bombed
Padang yesterday after landing
troops on the east coast of Sumatra
in a showdown with the rebel
regime based in this mountain
capital.
The revolutionary regime said
300 government troops landed Fri-
day on the east coast island of
Bengkalis, plugging one of Caltex'
coastal oil terminals.
A rebel platoon on the island,
an old-time Chinese smugglers'
base, clashed with the troops and
then withdrew to the jungle.
Attack Launched
Strict military censorship was
reported in force in Jakarta, the
Indonesian capital. But the Ja-
karta correspondent of the Dutch'
newspaper Vrije Volk in Amster-,
dam, said 8,500 Indonesian troops
launched a three-pronged attack
against the rebels early yesterday.
He said the 10 battalions1
launched air and sea-born opera-
tions from Tandjong Pinang off,
Central Sumatra's east coast, Me-
dan in. North Sumatra, and the;
Mentawai Islands off Padang on7
the west coast. He said they hoped1
to take the major rebel towns by
March 23, the start of the long
Moslem observance of Ramadan.
Landing Expected
Attacks yesterday by planes and
warships on Padang, chief rebel.
center, raised expectations of a
government attempt to land troops
on the west coast to support the
east coast landing.s
Rebel leaders said they expected
landing attempts would be made
in the neighborhood of Painan
and Pariaman, 50 miles on either
side of Padang.
They reported 4,000 troops al-
ready were crammed aboard trans-
ports for a- landing at Dumal, an-
other Caltex oil terminal on thej
east coast about 40 miles north-
west of Bengkalis.
The destroyer Gadja Mada, In-I
donesia's biggest warship, and two
corvettes cruised close to Padang
and hurled two shells into the city.
The warships still lurked in the
rainy darkness off Padang last,
night.

Fast Action
On Projects
Pentagon Orders'Aid
For Needy Areas
WASHINGTON (W)- Sen. Lyn-
don Johnson (D --Texas) argued
urgently before the Senate Public
Works Committee for a speedup on
four billion dollars worth of civil
construction projects already ap-
propriated for.
Pentagon action against unem-
ployment was announced by Dep-
uty Secretary- Donald Quarles.
Quarles ordered inclusion of a
clause in future defense contracts
calling on big contractors to give
preference to subcontractors in
unemployment areas, provided
those subcontractors can do the
work properly and as cheaply as
firms in areas less hit by unem-
ployment.
Preferences Assigned
Also, Quarles ordered a priority
lineup for the military services
and for big contractors in sublet-
ting. He assigned first preference
to small firms in unemployment
areas, then to other businesses in
those areas, and thirdly to small
businesses located outside areas of
unemployment.
Vice President Richard Nixon
said yesterday that he favors a
"substantial" across-the-board tax
cut if the economy fails to show
an upturn in the next few weeks.
Although he saidhe retains con-
fidence that employment and busi-
ness generally will show gains in
the near, future, Nixon said that if
the recession continues he prefers
to "go down the tax cutting road
rather than the spending road."
Payments Expanded
Nixon said he believes President
Eisenhower's program to speed up
spending on various public works
projects will go a long way toward
lifting the economy.
The Eisenhower administration's
plan to finance an extension of
state unemployment compensation
benefits was reported to call for
an additional 13 weeks of pay-

United States, Britain, France,
Australia and New Zealand.
The economic question and a
linkup of SEATO with NATO in
Europe and the Baghdad Pact in
the Middle East are expected to
be, major questions.
IInformed sources said the
United States has nothing new to
propose in the field of economic
aid for the Asian members but is
willing to receive economic pro-
posals.
British Foreign Secretary Sel-
wyn Lloyd already has expressed
opposition to aformal linkup with
NATO and the Baghdad Pact.
Britain, he says, provides a liai-
son now because, it is a member of
all three pacts.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles went into talks with Lloyd'
shortly after arriving. What they
talked about was not disclosed.,
Lloyd said ,Sunday he would
meet Dulles outside the SEATO
conferences for discussions on a
summit conference, the Indone-

Dulles is expected to meet French
Foreign Minister Christian Pineau

'U' Art Museum Premiers New Additions, Larger Collections

By NAN MARKEL
An appreciative teaching fellow marvelled that a few months',
work could have produced such a wonder, and an aesthetic old lady
said, "Such a beautiful museum, and they put this (a wave of the
hand indicated new additions) in front of the pillars!"
University Museum of Art Director Charles H. Sawyer said: "We
have attempted to create a happy marriage between the old and the'
new - and also create a useful building in the process."
The occasion was the premiere at 7 p.m. yesterday of the newly'
remodeled Museum of Art in Alumni MemorialHall. "It is the begin-
ning of a new, and we hope very important, era for art in the Uni-'
versity community," Sawyer said.
