LVIM, No. 117 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1958 FIVE CENTS
resident Discusses Economy

XLY CLOUDY, MI
EIGE

WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Wight D. Eisenhower talked over,
e economic situation with his
visers again yesterday, after new
pssure developed for tax cutsF
d heavier spending.
This pressure was brought by
FL-CIO leaders who reported
by told President Eisenhower the
cession is growing worse, and to
it for Iiprovement is not the
re.
The unionists said their White
use visit was friendly, but theree

was no word of any new actions
in the making.
The Senate last night rejected
a proposal to cut personal income
and federal excise taxes by about
$5,200,000,000.
The vote was 71-14. Only 13,
senators voted with Douglas, in-
cluding two Republicans, Sens.
William Langer of North Dakota
and Charles Potter of Michigan.
Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) offer-
ed the proposal and contended a
tax slash- was the quickest and
most effective .way to deal with
the "very serious .recession now
under way in this country."
More Controacts Planned
In a major antirecession an-
nouncement, the Defense, Depart-
ment promised to raise to 10 bil-
lion dollars the amount of job-
providing contracts it will place
during the first six months .of the
year.
This is four billions more than
were placed in the last six months
of 1957..
An encouraging note was pro-
vided by the Federal Reserve
Board in a report saying depart-
ment store sales across the coun-
try last week were seven per cent

higher than during the similar
week of 1957.
Of the 12 Federal Reserve Dis-
tricts only one -- Kansas City -
showed a decline and the drop
there was only one per cent.
Still another bright note came
from the Federal Housing Admin-
istration. 'It said applications for
government-insured loans on new
houses poured in last month at a
rate of 70 per cent higher than in
February 1957. The applications
reflected a willingness to spend
and freshadowed an increase in
residential construction.
Little Divulged
President Eisenhower's meeting
with his economists, second in two
days, lasted an hour and a quarter.
Little was divulged of what went
on, but it was separately disclosed
that President Eisenhower plans
a public discussion of the situation
Tuesday.
His immediate audience that day
will be 1,600 women in Washing-
ton for a national Republican
conference.
President Eisenhower also has
scheduled a look-at-the-full-pic-
ture tax discussion Tuesday with
GOP congressional leaders.

Student Demonstration
Threats Fade in Cuba
HAVANA (W)-Threats of Havana University's 18,000 students to
stage. a new demonstration faded yesterday as police sealed off all
assembly areas.
Tension continued as rebels circulated rumors a major revolu-
tionary attempt to overthrow President Fuigencio Batista might be
made "within 48 hours."
Batista ordered police and armed forces to crush any disturbance.
Police guards were doubled or tripled at all public buildings and
military establishments. Gunners behind sandbags guarded the presi}-
dential palace in the heart of Havana. Police guarded the big Roman
Catholic cathedral near the University of Havana. Radio cars stocked


Tunisia May
TurnAway.
From ,West,
TUNIS (MP - President Habib
Bourguibal yesterday gave the
United States seven days to decide
whether to support Tunisia in its
dispute with France or see this
country turn its back on the West.
He told a nationwide radio audi-
ence events between now and the
second anniversary of Tunisian
independence, Thursday, will de-
termine his attitude.
"We are at the crossroads. We
must choose," he said, after re-
minding Tunisians of his sympa-
thies with the West.
Bourguiba claimed the contin-
ued presence of French troops
means "we are not truly free." As
a sign of protest, he canceled
celebrations planned for Inde-
pendence Day.
He warned that the Tunisians
might have to start their battle
for independence from France all
over again, but did not say
whether he meant by military
means.
Since the French bombed what
they claimed was an Algerian vil-
lage base in Tunisia on Feb. 8,
Bourguiba has been demanding
the French troops quit his country.
The fiery Tunisian earlier told
United States Dep. Undersecretary
of State Robert Murphy and
British diplomat Harold Beeley he
would not make his regular weekly
talk Thursday in order not to
hamper their "good offices" mis-
sion.

Police broke up small groups of

They chased away Associated
Press photographer Harold Valen-
tine trying to take pictures and
ordered him back to his hotel.
Students called upon all Cubans
to observe 10 minutes silence
starting at 3:40 p.m. in memory
of Federation President Jose An-
tonio Echevarria. He and about
40 others were killed during rebel
attacks on the presidential palace
a year ago in an attempt to kill or
kidnap Batista.

The United States will have to
make concessions to Tunisia, Prof.
George Grassmuck of the political
science department commented on
recent Tunisia developments last
night, but these concessions will
not go as far as saying Tunisia
is right and France is wrong.
Bourguiba summed up the situa-
tion tn his country "pretty well,"
Prof. Grassmuck explained, when
he said Tunisia is at "the cross-
roads." He has been "holding the
lid on" despite tension evidenced
by his recent assassination accusa-
tion against President Gamal Ab-
del Nasser of the United Arab
States, the professor continued.
"Real independence" will have
to come if Bourguiba is to stay in
power, Prof. Grassmuck said. He
compared the situation to that in
Egypt when Nasser expelled Brit-
ish troops from the Suez Canal
zone.

University officials termed the concept of a Junior Year Abroad
program "highly desirable" but called for "careful analysis" before
instituting such a plan.
"The program has to be justified on the grounds that it is a need
not being met at the present time," assistant dean of the literary
college James Robertson said yesterday.
Dean Robertson indicated he was in favor of a program that
allows the student to "crack through" his own educational barriers.
Needs Careful Study
University Vice-President in charge of faculties Marvin L. Niehuss
commented the foreign study proposal called for "open-minded con-
sideration" and "very careful study."
