These far-apart attacks on a common problem came amid Sen- ate debate on whether the Eisen- holder- administration is doing* what it should to meet the situa- tion. The Federal Reserve dropped the discount rate charged member banks who borrow from reserve banks to one and three-fourth per cent at New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis and, Minnea\- polls. The rate had been two and one,-k fourth per cent in these cities, as it continues for .the present in the other seven Federal.Reserve dis- tricts. . In a separate move, the Fed- eral Reserve reduced the amount of reserves which banks in New York and Chicago must maintain against demand deposits. a. It was eyplained this step was' linked to the export of about 60 million dollars of gold in recent months, which had the effect of' tightening the domestic money supply. Both actions by the Federal Reserve are calculated to make money more easily available for Americanl enterprises. This is the fourth time in five months that the discount rates have been re- duced with that goal in mind. Inamajor action at the Capitol, House Ways and Means Commit- tee Democrats reached tentative agreement on a billion - dollar emergency plan for relief of unem- ployed workers. This, would be' fianaced wholly by the federal government. The program,. going beyond a plan advanced by President Dwight D, Eisenhower, will be put to a committee vote today. Chair;- man W. D. Mills (D-Ark.) said he' expected it' would be called up in the House next week. The agreement ,was reached at' a caucus of the Democratie com- mittee majority. Judi Councile Fmds Galens In iolation Senate Delays Budget Dectsion By PHILIP MUNCK Special to 'The Daily LANSING. - Michigan legislators yesterday postponed decision on state budgetary matters, 'includingthe University's 1958-59 oper- ating budget appropriation, until 10: a.m. today. The Senate held up all action on bills until all appropriation items are out of *onference committees. A $30 million budget for next year's University operations was approved by the Senate last month. The House last week raised this to $30,929,000, a figure equal to University's appropriation for the current 'year. The increase came in an amendment to the Senate bill by Rep. George Ballade (R-Ann Arbor) raising the appropriation for all state Tunisia Mafy, Request New Talks TUNIS (P) -President Habib Bourguiba Warned yesterday that he will take 'the French-Tunisian dispute to the United Nations again within a week unless a ,new French government immediately compromises. Bourguiba's statement virtually assured a Security Council discus- sion of the dispute, since forma- tion of a new Paris government is expected to take much longer than a week., The governmentjof Premier Fe- lix Gaillard resigned after the Na- tional Assembly rejected Tuesday. ,night' a compromise plan recom- mended by the United 'States- British good offices team which is seeking to ease French-Tunisian relations.% "I cannot wait a very long time," Bourguiba said in his weekly broadcast to his people.

Work foir Compromise Conference committees with Members from both houses have been meeting to iron out the dif- ferences in this .and other bills.. Senate sources say it is possible that the Senate will not agree to any ;increase even if it is ap- proved by the conference commit- tee. Sen. Lewis Christman (R-Ann Arbor) expressed confidence the bills would be finished by the com- mittees and be returned to the Senate by this morning. "We've given pretty positive notice we want this done." he said yester- day. Sen. Christman told the Senate' he was unwilling to pass judge- ment on any appropriation bill until he had all of them in front of him. "I don't want to do any- thing until I know what the total, of all the bills will be," he ex- plained. Favors Lower Budget After debating this the Senate: recessed with only one bill passed to the House. It is possible, ob- servers say, the. Legislature will not be able to finish tonight and will have to remain until tomor- row or longer. The Senate is faced with al- lotting money totaling more than $3;0 million in general fund ex- penditures for 1958-P, and anoth- er $230: millions in restricted funds. The University budget favored Union Senate Discontinued By Directors Further Information Asked on Bookstore Union Board of Directors last night unanimously voted to dis- band the Union Senate. Russell Berman, '59, Union ex- ecutive vice - president, said the majority of the participants had been unable to devote sufficient time to the senate, which had fail- ed to provide an outlet for student opinion. The Senate ran into initial pro- cedural difficulties when it was established last year but ironed them out after several special meetings. It then went on to con- sider items as Homecoming and the Literary College honor system. Interest waned, however and there was difficulty in obtaining a quorum in the last meetings of the Senate. The bookstore committee was directed to study further the feasi- bility of a Union bookstore. This echoed the action of the Board in its meeting last month during which it endorsed the concept of the bookstore and asked for a reasonable plan for establishment of the store. A Board vacancy created by the Joint Judiciary invalidation of the election of Sid Jackson, '60, was filled by the appointment of Frank Tranzow, '59E, former Union Ex- ecutive councilman. Six new board members were sworn in by Barry Shapiro, '59, Union president. Taking the oath were Tom Corbett, '60, Maynard Goldman, '59, Student Government Council president, Peter Van Haf- ten, 159E, Robert Card, 'OD, Don Medalie, '61L, and John Moore, '60E, Musket general chairman.

SGC had told Galens because of the Campus Chest drive' it could not conduct its charity drive with- in certain boundaries which the' Council considered to be part of the campus. Buckets were admittedly placed at twb locations within the area, - according to a Joint Judic report. The letter warned Galens that if future violations occur more severe action will be taken by Joint Judic. The announcement of the de- cision was delayed because of the extra time given to Galens to ap- peal the decision. Galens decided not to appeal the decision because of a lack of time. "We've fdught as much as we have time for," Robert Jew- ett, '58M, president of Galens, said. Questions about the violation arose in Decemberafter it was reported to SGC that soliciting for funds was being carried on within the campus area.

The Unit- ed States envoy was smiling, but noncommittal when he departed. The official Tass news agency confirmed that the meeting re- sulted fromi note the Big Three Western Powers sent the Soviet government Wednesday. The note offered to begin pre-summit talks at the diplomatic level'., The brief Tass announcement said: "Gromyko invited L. E. Thompson, United States ambas- sador to, the Soviet Union, to the Foreign Ministry and discussed with him questions connected with preparations for a summit confer- ence." Thompson said he had received no written statement from Gromy- ko and declined further comment. Night meetings were scheduled with Thompson by. Sir Patrick Reilly, the British ambassador, and Maurice Dejean, the French ambassador. It appeared that Thompson was to fill in his colleagues on the Gromyko meeting. 'Regents Meet On 'U' Budget Discussion of the University's budget is expected when the Board of Regents meets today in the Administration, Building. Appointments, gifts, grants and other routine matters are also on the agenda, according to a Uni- versity spokesman. gathered in recent surveys of roommate placement. Suggests Policy The Board of Governors heard Nan Murrell, '59,. chairman of the" Human Relations Board of Stu- dent Government Council, propose that residence halls "should not ask the applicant for preferences on the basis of race, religion or national origin. "The University shouldn't wave an integration flag," Miss Murrell said, "but it should make it clear that preferences will not be ac- cepted."; Speaking for the Human Rela- tions Board, she also reconimended the University not request infor- mation on application blanks con- cerning race, religion or national origin. Prof. Hubert Blalock of the Sociology department told the Board that "a firm, reasonable policy"*of npt accepting racial and religious preferences in roommateI selection would be accepted pos- sibly after a few days of complain- ing-by all but a few students. Volunteer Time He and several other, professors would be glad to volunteer their, time to counsel students that were affected by' this kind of policy, Prof. Blalock said. The Human Relations' Board was the only group. to make a specific proposal of the four Stu- dent groups. Alan Krebs, Grad., said that the Human Relations Board proposals were in essential agreement with principales formu- lated by the Student Association for Intercultural Living wlVch he represented. Larry Curtiss, '58, said he could. not say what the reaction of the Inter- House Council Integration Committee would be to the pro- posal. The petition committee of Con- gregational Students' Disciples Guild said they were in complete agreement with principals formu- tions Board proposal. Discuss Proposal Much of the' meeting was taken up with discussion with Miss Mur-' rell on the Human Relations Board proposal. Miss Murrell based her remarks on a statement which the Human Relations Board presented to the Board of Governors.

Bissell Hits Racial Basis For Rooming There is no sound reason to assign roommates by race except that somebody is afraid of "con-; tamination," a former officer of the National Association for the. Advancement of Colored People declared yesterday. Mrs. Hillary Bissell told a meet-{ ing of the local chapter of the NAACP that "even a tiny bit of segregation gives birth to second class citizenship." Now- a member of the Grand Rapids Human Relations Commis- sion, Mrs. Bissell recalled that 25 years ago when she was a student, at theUniversity, Negroes were not allowed to live in the dormi- tories with white students and down by the railroad tracks, there was a separate dormitory for Ne- gro women. Pointing to lack of roommate integration, Mrs. Bissell said pro- gress towards ending segregation on campus today is not proceed- ing any faster than in other com- munities. "I doubt if there will be much change until more of the, pressures of the larger community are brought to play," she said. She described housing as the "great battlefront" in the fight for Rebel Radio Offers Contradictory Repo] BULLETIN JAKARTA (P)-The Jakart government announced toda that its army had captured Pa dang, one of the last two maje points still held by the Suma tran rebels. The air force spokesman sail the army had seized the rail way and broadcasting station in Padang, the major port o the west coast of Sumatra, an that commandos and para troopers were in firm possessio of the city's airfield.

This removed the objection of Mohamed EI-Afandi, Grad., who had planned to take the case to, joint Judic, West indicated. El- Afandi had applied for ISA mem- bership a few days ago and an- nounced his intention to run for president. West explained that Assistant Dean of Men John Bingley, who refers cases to Joint Judic, had been consulted and had said Joint Judic would almost certainly find the move unconstitutional. The basis of Bingley's advice, according to West, was Article Two 'of the ISA Constitution, which says any student can be- come a member of the ISA upon payment of 50 cents membership fee.

Addressing listeners at both the Journalism Lecture series and the 1958 Advertising Conference, Pack- ard explained that his best seller "The Hidden Persuaders," pro- tested the over-commercialism of American life. In his speech given at the jour- nalism lecture "Morality and the Hidden Persuaders," he accused the American people of self-ir- dulgence and too great an empha- He pointed out that such tech-i niques were banned in Great Bri- tain, within three weeks of the time they were first demonstrated. Over-Use Politics "What is the morality in playing upon our hidden weaknesses?" he questioned. Politics, that so im- portant aspect of democracy,. is one medium through which adver- tisers have overrun their bounds. In politics, the same forces are used to imprint an individual's character upon the minds of as many people as possible. Politi- cians are "using the insights of Freud" to build up images for their campaigns, he said. And, like Pavlov, they are "hammering mes- sages across."
