Senators Propose
Civil Rg hts Bill
Douglas, Javits Sponsor Program
To Encouraga Racial Integration
WASHINGTON (R) - A bipartisan group of 16 senators intro-
duced a new civil rights bill in the Senate yesterday.
It may touch off a new North-South fight over racial issues.
Congress struggled for months during the last session before pass-
ing the first civil rights legislation in 82 years.
The Eisenhower administration has said it won't sponsor new
legislation this year but Attorney General William P. Rogers has in-
dicated the President would sign a bill restoring provisions knocked
out of lest year's measure. ,
Urges School Integration
The new bill, backed by 10 Northern Democrats and six Northern
Republicans, is designed to encourage racial integration of schools.
It would compel compliance with Supreme Court rulings in that field
If necessary.,
Another provision would arm the attorney general with authority
to seek federal court injunctions for the protection of civil rights gen-
4erally. This was one of the pro-
visions cut out of last year's legis-
lation.
Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.),
one of the bill's leading support-
ers, held a news conference to
outline the aims of his group.
Not Party Measure
"We are not going to jockey for
party advantage," he said. "We
are going to push for enactment
..4*of the bill."'
Sen. Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.), sit-
ting beside Sen. Douglas, said he

partisans hip. He added that he

Federation
Of Jordan,
Iraq Seen
AMMAN, Jordan () - The
Hashemite Arab kingdoms of Iraq
and Jordan seemed headed last
night for federation in a move
which could take the Iraqi regime
out of the Western-oriented Bagh-
dad Pact.
Sources in Amman, in predicting
this, indicated a strong possibility
that a federation of the two king-
doms might be joined by the Saudi
Arabian monarchy.
This would create in the turbu-
lent Middle East a- situation in
which two separate and possibly
rival Arab federations would face
one another.
Propaganda Continues
The prediction came in the
midst of strong Egyptian-Syrian
propaganda for a general Arab
federation under the leadership of
Egypt, now joined with Syria in
the United Arab Republic.
Federation with Iraq likely fore-
shadows the beginning of the end
of Jordan's existence as a national
entity.
The little state in the heart of
the Arab East long has been
teetering on the edge of extinc-
tion.
Iraq Would Dominate
In federation with Iraq It would
be dominated by Baghdad. Such
federation, too, would be counter
to Egyptian-Syrian ambitions for
the future of Jordan, which Da-
mascus and Cairo view as a his-
torical part of Syria.
Iraq is ruled by young King
Faisal II, great grandson of the
Arab nationalist hero, Sherif Hus-
sein of Mecca.
Jordan is ruled by Faisal's cous-
in, 22-year-old King Hussein, also
a great grandson of Sherif Hus-
sein.
Gaillard Holds
Night Session
Of Ministers
PARIS (A)-French Premier Fe-
lix Gaillard, under pressure from
the United States and Britain,
summoned his Cabinet into special
session last night to consider re-
percussions of the attack by French
warplanes on a Tunisian border
village.
The government leaders met al-
most three hours, but there was
no announcement on their talks
after the session ended. A spokes-
man indicated a government state-
ment might be made in the Na-
tional Assembly today.
Gaillard recalled his resident
minister in Algeria, Robert La-
coste, to report personally to the
Cabinet on the raid Saturday on
Satkiet Sidi Youssef near the Al-
gerian border.
The Cabinet was reported ready
to take steps to see that military
commanders are no longer allowed
to stage such raids on their own
authority,
The United States officially was
profoundly disturbed. Britain said
it hoped the situation wouldn't ex-
plode into something worse. West
Germany voiced concern for the
loss of lives.

MINNESOTA WINS, 80-69:
Kline Leads Onslaught a
As Wolverines Succumb
Special to The Daily
MINNEAPOLIS - Michigan's shooting matched the 10 below
zero temperature outside Williams Arena here last night as Minnesota
handed the Wolverines their third Big Ten defeat 80-69.
The loss dropped the Wolverines from first to third in the Big
Ten standing a half-game behind the co-leaders, Michigan State and
Indiana.
Again as in the Purdue game poor shooting led to Michigan's
downfall. The Wolverines hit only 20 per cent of their shots in the
first half and finished with an overall percentage of 28 per cent.

Enrollments
Committee
By RICHARD TAUB
Nine people have been appoint-
ed to a student-faculty-adminis-
tration rising enrollments steering
committee.
The committee, which is a re-
sult of a Student Government
Council motion last May that such
an organization should be set up
to investigate different aspects of
rising enrollments has three stu-
dents, three faculty members, and
three members of the administra-
tion.
It includes Vice-President for
Student Affairs James A. Lewis;
Dean of the literary colge
Charles E. Odegaard; and James
M. Davis, director of the Interna-
tional Center.
Faculty Members Named
The faculty members are Prof.
Franklin G. Moore of the indus-
trial management department;
Prof. Helen Peak of the psycholo-
gy department; and Prof. Frank
Schwartz of the mechanical en-
gineering department.
The students are SGC President
Joe Collins, '58, Chairman of the
literary college steering committee
Leslie Dietz, '58, and Daily Editor
Peter Eckstein, '58.
Interest in such a committee be-
gan in May when SGC requested
University President Harlan
Hatcher establish such a group.
SGC Met Hatcher
On Jan. 7 SGC met with Presi-
dent Hatcher and the Faculty Ad-
visory Committee where the pro-
posal was discussed more fully.
However the group decided that
before working committees were
appointed, there should be a more
specific determination of the
problem areas "in which student,
faculty and administration co-
operation would be most likely."

Kline Scores 28
George Kline with 28 points and
sophomore center Ron Johnson
with 18 points led the Gopher at-
tack, The high scorer for the Wol-
verines was Jack Lewis with 19
points. Michigan's high-scoring
forward line was the chief victim
of the cold shooting.
In the frigid first half Pete Til-
lotson made only 1 out of 13 at-'
tempts from the floor and M.C.
Burton made 3 out of 16 attempts.
Tillotson ended the night with
15 points, Burton had 16 points,
and George Lee had another bad
night on the road hitting only two
points.
Teams Start Slowly
Both teams started cold, unable
to score a field goal in the first
three minutes. Michigan warmed
up slightly and had a 17-15 lead
heading into the latter stages of
the first half.
But the Wolverines then went
into their coldest shooting period
of the season missing 21 consecu-
tive shots. The Gophers led by
Kline took advantage of the lag

Foreign aid "with no strings attached" and active participation

volving President Dwight D.
Eisenhower's chief aide, Sherman

The subcommittee's action came
shortly after 7:30 p.m. following
a long day of angry wrangling be-
tween Schwartz and the House

Moulder (D-Mo.).
Moulder announced the group's
investigation of the Federal Com-
munications Commission (FCC)
and five other regulatory agencies
will continue today - behind
closed doors and with Schwartz
subpoenaed as a witness.
Accusations 'Untrue'
Short y before the announce-
ment of his dismissal Schwartz
said the committee had "grilled"
him for three hours and subjected
him to untrue accusations.
One of the latter, he said, was
that he was a "contemptible liar."
"The majority of the committee
was interested In a whitewash,"
Schwartz told reporters.
Expected Ouster
Schwartz had said before the
session he expected to lose his job
because, as he put it, he had been
digging too deep for evidence of
official misconduct.
While the House committee met,
demands were raised In the Sen-
ate for it to make its own probe,
if the House group doesn't get
ahead with its investigation.

nouncedin Lansing yesterday that
he will run for the United States
Senate and his chances were called
good by two senators speaking here
yesterday.'
Sen. Thruston Morton (R-Ky.)
said incumbent Sen. Charles E.
Potter (R-Mich.) will "have a
tough fight" to keep his seat.
r Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-
Minnesota called Hart, the first
Democrat to serve two terms as
Michigan's Lieutenant Governor,
"an excellent candidate who
should win."
Hart "U" Graduate
Hart, a 1937 graduate of the
University's Law School, was
elected Lieutenant Governor in
1954 and again in 1956.
Sen. Potter won his seat in 1952,
defeating the late Blair Moody
who was appointed by Gov. G.
Mennen Williams to fill the va-
cancy left by the death of Repub-
can Sen. Arthur Vandenberg in
1951.
In announcing his candidacy,
Hart, 45 years old, attacked the
Republicans for not telling "the
hard truths without which a free
people cannot undertake the hard
burdens of world leadership."
Must Win Primary
Hart must win the Aug. 5 Dem-
ocratic primary before facing Sen.
Potter who has not yet announced
for reelection.
Sen. Potter said he was not
surprised at Hart's action and
chided him for dovetailing his
political plans with those of Gov.
Williams, who is expected to soon
formally announce that he will
run for a sixth term.

Outlines Present Goals
Sen. Morton outlined the pres-
ent administration's two major
goals in directing the United
States' foreign aid policy. These
must be a design to block the in-

'Hope of Better Life'
"By maintaining economic

SGC Motion
Seeks Facts
By JOHN WEICHER
Intent of Strdent Government
Council's fraternity and sorority
discriminatory clause motionis
chiefly to gather information and
possibly to consider policy
changes, the Council's Executive
Committee said yesterday.
The information would be for
the benefit of SGC members, since
the Council has responsibility for
the rules and regulations govern-
ing membership of student organi-
zations, under the SGC plan
adopted in 1949.
The Executive Committee com-
posed of the SGC officers, said it
has been six years since the policy
of an educational campaign was
established in regard to discrim-
inatory clauses, and SGC should
be made aware of progress in the
area.
Information Volunteered
In the past, Panhellenic Asso-
ciation and Interfraternity Coun-
cil presidents have volunteered in-
formation in oral reports to SGC.
However, Council members are ofl
the opinion that a written report
would be desirable at present, the
Executive Committee said.
The Executive Committee said
its statement was issued to clarify
misconceptions as to the intent of
the motion which had arisen in
the student body.
Petitioning Oplened
In interim, action, the Execu-
tive Committee also announced
that petitioning will open today
for the council seat left vacant by
the resignation of Linda Rain-
water, '60.
Miss Rainwater told The Daily
yesterday she resigned for aca-
demic reasons.

Internal strife raged within the confines of The Daily offices
yesterday as business and editorial staffs hotly debated the merits
of their respective divisions.
Donna Hanson, '58, Editorial Staff Personnel Director, quipped,
"Anyone with any brains can join The Daily. But naturally the
editorial staff would be his choice because it offers opportunity to
learn night desk work and write for a top college daily newspaper."
Words, Bottles Fly
"Nonsense," Ada Kesden, '58Ed, associate business manager,
shouted as she threw a coke bottle at Miss Hanson. "The business
staff offers interested students a chance to gain valuable experience
in advertising, promotions, accounting and layout.
"Consider the fact that the business staff works only in the'
afternoon," she .added, flipping matches at Miss Hanson's petticoat.
"Not only that," exclaimed Miss Kesden, "but we develop con-
tacts among such famous persons as John Bearsfoot Trippon who
gives away millions."
"Great Scott," shouted Miss Hanson, as she adroitly dodged a,
flying typewriter, "the editorial staff goes places and does things.
Our editorial director scooped the country during the Little Rock
crisis and our secret undercover agent, a well-known campus dog,
has the inside stories on rushing."

By LEWIS COBURN
Ann Arbor's City Council set
a new speed limit of 35 miles per
hour on sections of Packard Rd.
in the southeast part of the city
yesterday.
City Administrator Guy C. Lar-
com ,Jr. recommended the change
from the previous city speed lim-
it of 25 m.p.h. as in the interests
of developing "uniform" traffic
regulations for the area.
Voting against the change,
Councilwoman M. Alicia Dwyer
said she felt the limit should be
lowered to 15-miles-an-hour as
requested by parents of children
attending school in the area.
In other action, the council is-
sued permanent orders prohibit-
ing the riding and parking of bi-
cycles on the east side of the 100
block of State St. -- in front of
the Frieze Building.
Council also approved appoint-
ment of two councilmen to the

ported that the committee is plan-
ning an Industrial Development
Corporation to aid in the purchase
of city land for industrial use.
