Group To Study Possible Changes;
Must Report Baek in Two Weeks
By JOHN WEICHER
Student Government Council last night decided "to explore
sibilities of nodifying the University drinking regulations," through
ommittee of four SGC members.t
The committee, which is to report to the Council by April 30, will
ite representatives from Joint Judiciary Council and from Vice-
sident in charge of Student Affairs James A. Lewis.
The motion establishing the committee was offered. by Union
sident-elect Barry Shapiro, .'59, as a substitute for a motion by
vid Kessel, Grad. Kessel had called for a redefinition of the regula-
Sbons to permit students more than

ruman Plan
or Tax- Cuts

WASHINGTON (iP) - President
. Dwight D. Eisenhower took aim at.
Harry S. Truman yesterday and
said he never would go for a pro-
ram that might "flood the coun-
I with money" and shoot prices
upward.
,President Eisenhower again held
back on any immediate tax cut to
pump up purchasing power and
combat. the recession. He told a
news conference he has made his
position crystal clear-this busi-
ness of a tax cut will be taken up
when he can be convinced. it will
be for the benefit of the United
States.
The chief executive also erected
caution and slow signs in the path
of public works legislation, where-
as former President Truman is
urging heavier spending on works
projects.
Truman told a House committee
Monday the recession is very
serious and proposed a five-billion-
dollar tax cut for middle and low-
income families. He said this culd
' be ofset by wPing out special tax
privileges, .closing tax law loop-
holes, and bringing down interest
payments on the national debt.

WASHINGTON (R) -President
Dwight D. Eisenhower ended the
suspense and signed the $1,800,-
000,000 higliway bill.
He found things wrong with it-
precedents he said he wouldn't
like to see followed in the future-
but decided to go along because of
prospects it could be a quick help
in creating jobs.
There has been advance indica-
tions that Eisenhower would, sign,
but no certainty. Only last Satur-
day a big Chicago meeting to dis-
cuss highway construction was
called off because of doubt as to
whether the bill would become
law.
The new law aims at three major
goals:
1. To provide new jobs. Sen.
Gore estimated that the new jobs
would swell, to 520,000 in time.
2. To get the schedule for the
41,0.00-mile superhighway inter-
state network back on the 13-year
schedule set for it in 1956. Other-
wise, the .prospect was for a long
w stretch-out.
3. To establish a national policy
of regulating billboards on the in-
terstate system and giving states
incentives to carry out this policy..
States agreeing to regulate bill-
boards would get a bonus-of 1/2 of
1 per cent of the cost of the inter-
state sections regulated by the
agreement.

His motion was a recommenda-
tion to the faculty Committee on
Student Conduct.
Avoid Delay
Kessel said several University
agencies were working on the re-
definition, but had failed to get
toge her so far. He wanted to
avoi further delay, he said.
The Council also decided not to
consider a protest from two stu-
dents desiring to become members
of the International Students As-
sociation. .
The dispute arose because the
ISA Cabinet had closed member-
ship during the month before theF
close of petitioning for ISA officer
elections.
One student who wanted to be
a candidate thus was unable toI
petition because he had not joined
in time, according to SGC Presi-

Co lleg e Credit
DETROIT WP) - University of
Detroit will offer college crediti
courses by television next fall to
the brightest high school seniors
in the Detroit area.
Prof. Francis Arlinghaus, di-
rector of credit telecourses, said1
today it will be an extension of
the first year of telecourses of-t

been a successful experiment
mainly with an adult audience.I
Lectures at Homef
The students will obtain their
lecture material at home, in frontf

"Superior" high school students
will be offered courses in English
and mathematics over station
WTVS, Detroit's educational TV
station (Channel 56).
Same Tuition
Tuition will be the same as on
the U of D campus - $14 per
credit hour.
The Very Rev. Celestin J. Stein-

vision instruction no longer is a
matter for debate. It has been
proven and accepted that televi-
sion students are on a par with*
those under 'traditional' teach-

In order to take the courses, the
students must have a "B" average

Nuclear War
Unlikely Now
-Kissinger
By LANE VANDERSLICE
An all-out nuclear war is the
greatest danger to the United
States but the least. likely threat,
Henry'A. Kissinger said last night
as he asked, for a United States
foreign policy that would be more
adaptable to -Russian challenges.
The associate director of the
Harvard University Center of In-
ternational Affairs said the United
States strategic policy of massive
retaliatiion made all instances of
Soviet aggression so far "marginal
-cases." Marginal cases he defined
as cases that can't be provided for
with an already-formulated stra-
tegic policy.
As the power of nuclear weapons
grow the will to use them grows
less, Kissinger said. Lacking any
other doctrine When a .crisis either
improvises a policy ofi goes with-
out.
Cites Marginal Cases
Kissinger asked for a policy that
would make marginal cases rare
and which would enable the United
States to apply power to specific
instances.
His policy, which he discussed
in general ternms, was to develop
graduated methods of containing
the Soviets.
He attacked the notion that
diplomatic settlements are due
solely to diplomatic skill, saying
that the possibility that force
would be used was behind a good
many settlements.
There is a fear in the United
States of not taking every Soviet
offer at face value Kissinger said.
Despite the changes that have
occurred in Russia the Soviet for-
eign policy is "not significantly
different'.",
Reliance on Massive Retaliation
He said reliance on massive re-
taliation has weakened the United
States alliance system. To the ex-
tent that nations believe that the
United States is their sole means
of defense he said they will mini-
mize their contribution to the de-
fense effort and rely on United
States troops in their countries to
provide the "tripwide."
The other alternative for na-
tions under the present strategy
is to try to achieve a retaliatory
force of their own-which adds
little to the deterrent power of the
free world, Kissinger said.
A contributing factor to the in-
security of modern international
relations, he said, is that smaller
nations often get the two great
powers into positions that neither
would choose by themselves.

Coty Seeks
New Basis
For Cabinet
GoVernment Falls
On African Issue
PARIS () - President Rene
Coty began a search yesterday for
some sort of parliamentary coali-
tion to govern France, amid
gloomy predictions of a long-term
Cabinet crisis.
With Premier Felix Gaillard's
five-month-old Cabinet routed by
the combined attack of conserva-
tives ands Communists on a wave
of anti-American sentiment, the
President's search for a National
Assembly majority promised to be
an anguished one.
Important and even painful con-
sequences of this new crisis lay
ahead for France, and most po-
litical obsrevers seemed pessimis-
tic.
If the next government, when it
finally is formed, is more to the
right than the last - which seems
likely - a hardening of French
policy toward North Africa may
well lead to increased French-
American strain.
This was the fifth time that a
French government had been
thrown out on a North African
issue.
This time Gaillard had backed
a U.S.-British good offices solution
to achieve better relations with
Tunisia. He fell Tuesday night on
a 321-255 vote after five months
and 10 days in office.
IFC To 'Try
'Organized
Open Rush'
Organized open rushing will be
tried by the Interfraternity Coun-
cil April 28 and 29.
Lmu ol , '59, IFC' executve
yice - preid ent, announced the
plan, which will enable men in-
terested in rushing and pledging
fraternities to take part in open
rush under more relaxed condi-
tions.
Unde the plan, fraternities in.
terested in open rushing will notify
the Council and then hold open
houses on, the nights of April 28
and 29.
It is not necessary for men in-
terested in open rush to register
with the IFC. "All they have to do
is walk into the houses they are
interested in," Howard Nack, '60,
IFC rushing chairman-, said.
Fraternity rushing at the Uni-
versity is conducted on two levels.
First, at the beginning of each
semester, is the formal rushing
period lasting about three weeks.
After that is open rushing.
During open rush a man can
visit any house he wishes. He does
not need to register with the IFC
as hc, does during formal rush. The
lack of interest in open rushing
has been a great problem, Kolb
said..
The problem with open rush, un-
til now, Kolb said, is that very few
fraternities or men take advantage
of this period.
Through further organization of
this period, he continued, "we feel
that a still greater number of fra-
ternities will be able to meet and
pledge interested men."
Kolb called on fraternities for
participation. "A slovenly rush on
the part of those fraternities that
will be participating will . . . in
the long run, be quite detrimental

to the system as a whole.

SECOND TRY FALLS THROUGH:
'U' Seeks Raid Leadei

Talks

BY SUSAN HOLTZER
A second panty-raid attempt
flickered and died last night as
the embers of Tuesday night's
march to the Hill slowly began to
cool.
Several fraternities reported
they had received anonymous
telephone calls, -instructing them
Racial Fight
Mrs. Stone
"Four years ago I n e v e r
dreamed that Virginia would re-
sist the Supreme Court decision
so firmly," Mrs. Kathryn Stone,
Democratic legislator from Vir-
ginia, said last night.
Mrs. Stone conceded that she
has not stood alone in' her fight
against racial inequality in the
South, but made it plain that the
prevailing climate of opinion in
Virginia, as elsewhere in the
South is generally against her.
The native Iowan, who has
adopted .Virgina as her home,
said that she "loves" Virginia, but
does not condone many of the
policies taken by some of the
people and politicians of that
state.
As a result of the persistence of.
the prominent segregationalists in
Virginia. and other Dixie states,
excluding North Carolina, many
of the public schools are and will
continue to be closed, she said.
"The closing of public schools is
becoming more and more com-
mon,' 'she said.
The established families will
continue to send the children to,
private institutions, particularly,
at the secondary school level, Mrs.
Stone continued, but eventually
there will be a clamor for the re-
-establishment of the public
schools.
At present Mrs. Stone's district,
Arlington, is as she termed it,
"fraught with tension." She laud-
ed the federal circuit judges who
have been "patient and firm" in
their decisions.
The anti-barratry laws are bar-
relled through the Virginia legis-
lature by Sen. Byrd and others,
she said, with little threat of re-
sistance. Usually measures in-
tended to promulgate integration
are introduced, but they' are sel-
dom even considered.
Mrs. Byrd referred to the "fa-
natical" resistance to integration;
as the "unfinished business of the'
Civil War," She stated that, al-
though four generations have fol-
lowed the Civil War era in the
North, because of the tradition of
late marriages in the. South only
three have emerged there and
thus the memories of Southerner's
are still long.

to meet at Ferry Field at 8 p.m
All apparently ignored the invita-
tions.
Meanwhile, wholesale investi-
gations marked the aftermath of
Tuesday's raid, in an Administra-
tion attempt to pin down respon-
sibility for the outbreak.
Vice-President for Student Af-
fairs James A. Lewis said they are
trying now to "ascertain if this
was planned, and if so, by whom."
His proposed treatment of proved
instigators was one word. "Dis-
missal."
Quad, Fraternity Probes
Investigations centered around
South and West Quadrangles, Beta
Theta Pi and several other State
Street fraternities, where the dem-
onstration began. Individual offi-
cials are handling the quad probes,
while William Cross, Assistant
Dean of Men in charge of Fra-
ternities, has already surveyed the
fraternities.
Cross said his main interest was
in determining whether there had
been one ringleader, but said "I
have found nothing." He said he
feels sure now the raid was spon-
taneous.
U.S. IToStat
Allied Armis
Su6pply $Soon1
PARIS (:) -- The United States
told its NATO Allies yesterday it
can begin regular deliveries of
medium-range ballistic weapons
to back up the European defense
shield before the end of this year.
The defense ministers of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion received, a briefing- on the
highly complicated modern arma-
ment aimed at bolstering the fire-
power of Allied forces manning
-the ramparts across the center of
Europe..
Officers and experts .accom-
panying U. S. Defense Secretary
Neil McElroy dispdlayed charts and
motion pictures covering all types
of new arms, from pocket rockets
to the intercontinental ballistic
missile with a range of 5,000 miles
or more.
In most cases they were dual-
purpose weapons, capable of fir-
ing either conventional or nuclear
explosives. They included ground.
to-ground, ground-to-air guided
missiles and artillery-type arms.
The first of the intermediate-
range ballistic missiles, capable
of hurling nuclear devastation on
targets 1,500 miles away, will be
in place on a base in Britain be-
fore the end of 1958, informants
said.
Earlier, the ministers approved
plans to double existing Allied
ground force strength on the con-
tinent, and to -beef up NATO divi-
sions with nuclear weapons.

In West Quad, action was im-
mediate. After the demonstration
had broken up, a man sat at the
door taking down names of all
residents entering after that time.
All men on the list are threatened
with fines.
The raid itself was apparently
the result of a long-standing ri-
valry between several of the fra-
ternities and the two residence
halls. C'oss said friction between7
the two groups has been constantI
ever since the dormitories were
built.4
More Momentum'1
This time he, explained, whatI
began as "ust one of the usual
situations picked up more momen-
tum than usual."
Observers reported firecrackers
were thrown at the Beta house
from South Quad ,and a Beta
member said "the Quaddies" used
"horrible, obscene language" and
made "lewd comments."
Beta president Tom Cleveland
said the fraternity has been in-
structed not to answer any re-
marks shouted froi the dormitory.
Both Elements
The group that actually stormed
the Hill appeared to contain mem-
bers of both elements. Cross called1
it "a Duke's mixture of anything
you can find," with some coming
from as far out as Washtenaw. He
said there were "more onlookers
than participants." .
Although Lewis said the ad-
ministration is really concerned,"oo esem o h v on cBe .
no one seems to have consi ered
the raid actually dangerous. Lewis
called the demonstrators "good-
natured," and Cross laughed as he
said the raid was "not really bad."

In Sumatra-
JAKARTA (P-The Indonesian
Navy announced today that the
invasion of Sumatra's West Coast
to crush the rebellion against Pres-
ident Sukarno's government began
at dawn.
The navy said marine units
made an amphibious landing on
the West Coast - presumably in
the area of Padang. A navy spokes-
man said the operation went "ac-
cording to plan and was highly
successful."
The spokesman could.give no in-
formation on whether the landing
troops- encountered any resistance.
If the rebels made a stand, how-
ever it would be the first time in
the seven-week civil war.
The landing was preceded by a
two-hour bombardment of Padang
Wednesday by a destroyer and
four covettes which had been
maneuvering in the Indian Ocean
off the West Sumatra port for
several days.
The shells from the ships land-
ed in the jngles around Padang,
disturbing thousands of birds.
