Elections Director Claims Four Thousand Go To Polls By JOHN WEICHERH An all-time record of more than 4,000 students voted in the first day of spring elections, Elections, Director Roger Mahey, '61, claimed yesterday. ' Mapey said voting for Student Government Council and several other campus positions was "going much better than expected," and revised his previous balloting estimate upwards. He anticipates a higher vote total than'last fall. Previous first day record vote was 3,770, set last fall, when a record low total of 5,347 students voted during the election. Allows for Lost Ballots The figure made al owance for ballots which blew away, Mahey "said. "About 300 or 400" were lost this way, he estimated., Mahey praised the poll workers, most of whom showed up for work, he said. tolling places in thS center campus area were manned % throughout the day with few ex- ceptions, he said, although some outlying polling places were vacant Dean Rostow at various hours.

JOB SLUMP: President Asks, Aid Increase l WASHINGTON (P) -,President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday proposed more aid for people long out of work and laid plans for faster government spending to Help end the economic slump. In taking these steps, the ad- ministration veered farther away from the United States tax reduc- tion as a means of stimulating economy. President Eisenhower sent a special message to Congress call- ing for a 50 per cent extension for the period in which the unem- ployed maay draw benefits. Asks $600 Million Republican leaders in Congress said after a White House confer- ence that President Eisenhower will ask authority to speed up gov- ernment buying by another 600 million' dollars. Sen. William F. Knowland (R- Calif.) Senate minority leader, said this request will be in the form of a letter going up today to House Speaker Sam.Rayburn (D-Tex.), The President discussed his un- employment compensation p 1 a n last week with a committee repre- senting a state governors' confer- ence. Cites Government's Duty In presenting it formally yes- terday, he said "the federal gov- ernment has the duty of tempering the hardship suffered by workers whose unemployment has been prolonged/' He added an optimistic note, saying he is "convinced that the need for additional assistance of these workers will"be of relatively brief duration." The White House estimated that the cost of the inspection arrange- ment-a federal supplement to the existing state benefit program- would run up to 500 to 600 million dollars. Workers who had used up their benefits in states such as Michi-, gan, which pays for 26 weeks, could collect for 13 more weeks if they were out of work that long. Committee Calls Hoffa 'Dangerous' WASHINGTON (A) - The Sen- ate Rackets Committee pictured Teamster President James R. Hoffa yesterday as a national menace -- a powerful master of a hoodlum empire within thehuge union. The committee, in a report to the Senate, said the Teamster Union has pursued a "blatant public-be-damned philosophy"" under leadership permeated by "the stench of corruption." It de- picted Hoffa as a betrayer of rank-and-file workers. Former Teamster boss, Dave Beck was characterized by the Senate investigators as a miserly man and a man with an uncon- trollable greed. They said Beck is a' almost pitiable figure who just couldn't resist the temptation to steal from his union. "Dave Beck," the committee said, "brought shame and dis- repute on the American labor movement." The committee's bitter findings were keyed, however, to der uncia- tions of Hoffa. He was accused of holding rank-and-file union mem- bers in veritable servitude and misusing millions of dollars of their union funds. Hoffa's elevation to the presi- dency of this giant among Amer- ican labor unions was described as "tragic for the Teamsters Un- ion and dangerous for the country at large." Reuther GM Begin Contract, Negotiations DETROIT, (W)-With both sides voicing hope fQr a peaceful settle- ment, General Motors Corp. and the' United Auto Workers Union opened negotiations yesterday on a new labor contract that may set a pattern for industry in a year of recession. But they began bargaining talks far apart in their declared aims. Smiling with apparent confi- dence, UAW President Walter P. Reuther told newsmen he is "dead serious" in his demand that the big auto companies share profits with workers. GM has not actually rejected profit-sharing in advance of bar- gaining but has said it wants no part of such a plan. Gates Says U.S. Moves to Red Goals By MICHAEL KRAFT.

For Evolution Emphasizing that he is for evo- lution' instead of revolution, Gates predicted that both Communism and capitalism will undergo fur- ther modifications. He said that Communism will undergo ,a.greater democratization. "A key question is why Khrush- chev made his speech denouncing Stalin."

Budget Stabilizes Calling the budget of the United States "a means of stabilization," Rostow expressed belief that the budget and its use is a means of controlling the economy. Discussing the history of out- put, Rostow pointed out a con- siderable rate of increase in out- put has been maintained during the past few years, with ,some periodic fluctuatidns. According to the one-time legal adviser to the State Department, fluctuations are rarely confined to the area of the ecqnomy con- cerned with capital kgoods or ma- terials used for producing other goods. Cites Causes Enumerating many reasons for these fluctuations, Rostow said there was no single cause. He ex- press6d the belief, however, that the most popular conception among law students was the "un- der-consumption theory." ' Rostow viewed the *problem of equal distribution of income as one of ethics and not of stabili- zation, Police Q uiz Two Socialists Health Service To Give Sots Polio shots will be given from 8 to 11:45 a.m. and from 1 to'4:45 p.m. tomorrow at the Health Serv- ice.

Cost Compromise Blamed for Failure of Vanguard By JOHN AXE Perhaps the main reason that the Vanguard project had failed to put an earth satellite in orbit un- til last week has been the fact that the launching vehicle was de- signed for maximum performance, but represented a compromise in reliability. According to Prof. M. H. Nichols of the department of Aeronautical Engineering, this situation has re- sulted mainly from an, attempt to minimize the cost of the project, although the time schedule also shares part of the blame. Agreeing with Prof. Nichols was phere 'to a height of 140 miles where it burns out, with the re- maining part coasting 400 miles. Finally the third stage of the Vanguard fires at 400 miles and sends the remaining satellite into orbit in the ionosphere where it reaches a speed of nearly 19,000 miles per hour and an altitude of from 250 miles to 400 miles above the earth.
