Diplomatic sources said the note left preparations for a summit conference still up in the air. ' The Western envoys said the Soviet Union plans to publish the note. Presumably it will be released in London, Paris and Washington ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1958 FIVE CENTS bm r I I II I i I I lY wi III I GM Appeals To Workers K On Formula DETROrt (P)-General Motors Corp. has appealed directly to its 350,000 hourly rate employes to study "in the light of conditions today" the company's wage for- mula which was rejected by the United Auto Workers Union. The, company yesterday made public a letter from President Har- low H. Curtice to all employes covered by the OM-UAW contract, ,4 which expires at midnight May 29. GM's letter followed-publication by Ford Motor Co. last week of a statement addressed to company employes from Henry Ford II criti- cizing UAW bargaining demands. "Curtice told GM employes: "The big problem now is to restore confidence and the people's will- ingness to buy the products we make. I am firmly convinced that prompt agreement on the sound basis we have proposed would have a most favorable effect o public confidence. To each employe went the ful text of GM's letter to UAW Presi- dent Walter P. Reuther of a week ago offering to renew the present three-year contract for two years Curtice said the built-in wage increase, based on productivity would increase wages an average of 14 cents per hour over the next two years. World News Roundup JBy The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Two union leaders told Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy today there may be a strike of 125,000 aircraft and missile workers unless their de- mands get greater consideration _ from four major plane builders. Walter Reuther, president of the United Automobile and Air- craft Workers (UAW), and Al J. Hayes, president of the Interna- tional Assn. of Machinists, con- ferred with McElroy at the Penta- gon. DETROIT - Ford Motor Co. said yesterday it planned to close its Ford Division assembly plant at Memphis, Tenn., June 6 and put the building up for sale. The closing affects some 1,300 workers at the plant. A Ford spokesman said the workers would be able to transfer to other division plants across the country if "further manpower needs de- velop at the other locations." LAKEVIEW, Mich. - Gov. G. Mennen Williams said last night that refusal to meet school needs is like neglecting repair work to one's house. "You don't save money, you waste money by postponing until next year what should be done this year," he said. CINCINNATI - John L. Lewis, president of the, United Mine ing Congress yesterday that "the Workers, told the American Mn- Russian Communists must not, be x permitted to impair or strike down our American economy or imperil the liberties of its free system." Board Decides School's Status The executive board of the Uni- versity's Bureau of School Serv- Oat the same time. Llewellyn E. Thompson, United States am- bassador, told newsmen after his 30-minute talk with Gromyko that the situation remained unchanged. As the situation stands now, the two sides have not even begun to talk about the preliminaries. Thompson said he intends to leave Moscow today as planned for a Paris conference of United States envoys in Europe. He added that he will stop off at Copen- hagen to report directly to Secre- tary of State John Foster Dulles who is attending a North Atlantic Pact meeting there. Gromyko's note follows the West's rejection last Saturday of a Soviet proposal to include Com- munist Czechoslovakia and Poland in presummit discussions. The West also agreed, reluctantly, to continue the ambassadorial talks ron the basis of individual meet- ings. 'U' School May Receive Federal Aid The public health school may receive a grant of over $100,000 a year, under a $1,000,000 appropri- ation 4uthorized by the federal House of Representatives yester- day, according to Prof. Vlado A. Getting of the school of public health. The bill authorizes grants- to assist nonprofit or public schools in financing special courses in public health. An amendment added to the bill yesterday determines how the money will be distributed, Prof. Getting said. According to the amendment, the amount of the grant will vary in proportion to the number of students in the school receiving fellowships from the federal government. Since the University has more such students than in any of the other schools, he said, it would receive approximately one-tenth of the appropriation and possibly as much as $150,000. The way a grant might be used is up to the University adminis- tration, Prof. Getting continued. It may be used to relieve the ex- penditures of the state which now provides all funds to the school, or to make improvements in the school of public health. The administration has not yet taken any steps in this matter, he said, since the bill must first be passed by the Senate, and would still only authorize an appropria- tion. The 10 other schools eligible for grants according to the Associ- ated Press, are the Universities of California, Minnesota, North Caro- lina and Puerto Rico; also Colum- bia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Tu- lane, Yale, and Pittsburgh univer- sities. PROF. ACKLEY: S 4uggest Controls For Wages Formation of a Wage and Price Commission to fight inflationary forces is recommended by Prof. Gardner Ackley, chairman of the economics department, in a re- port to be released today by the Joint Economic Committee of Congress. In a series of papers on "The Relationship of Prices to Economic Stability and Growth," Prof. Ack- ley and Prof. Warren L. Smith and Prof. Richard A. Musgrave, both of the economies department, gave varying views on how to solve the recession and inflation problems. Have Little Effect Prof. Smith maintained govern- ment changes from a "tight" to an "easy" money have little effect on credit buying by consumers or business spending for new plant equipment. Tax cuts were cited by Prof. Musgrave as being the most fea- sible means of combatting eco- nomic recessions. Develops Proposals Developing his proposals for a Wage and Price Commission, Prof. Ackley declared, "The public stake in price stability requires that ,we go beyond name-calling, finger pointing and vague appeals," in combatting long-term inflationary trends. Prof. Musgrave noted changes in spending for public works should be justified "either as an anti - recession or anti - inflation device." Focus on Tax Level "Changes in taxes designed to pull the economy out of a slump should focus on the level of taxa- tion rather than the tax struc- ture," Musgrave continued. Prof. Smith, meanwhile, main- tained that selectivencredit con- trols would improve the effective- ness of monetary policy in fighting either inflation or busi- ness recessions. "Ifaselective controls had been available in at least certain areas, I believe monetary policy could have done a considerably more effective job in bringing inflation under control in the 1955-57 in- terval," he declared. Up Student Bus Fares Bus fares for University stu- dents were raised to the level of adult fares by the Ann Arbor City Council last night as part of gen- eral reorganization of the bus fare structure. John Rae, co-ordinator of the us company, said last week he wanted to raise student fares partly because of complaints by Ann Arbor citizens that Univer- sity students could afford to pay full fares and because students were only a small part of the buses' patrons. ..... Councilman Prof. A. Nelson Dingle of the engineering school ;aid, "I don't think University students should think of them- elves as a group apart." Adult fares were reduced from 25 cents to 20 cents and student fates for University students were raised from 15 cents to the new adult rate. The proposal also allows the bus company to reduce the price of tokens from one dollar to 90 cents for five tokens. A scholarship program sup- ported by state appropriations is not a feasible solution at present to the problem of encouraging more capable high school students to enter college, a recent survey of higher education in Michigan re- ported. The survey on financial assist- ance in Michigan institutions of, higher education was prepared for the Michigan Legislative Study Committee on Higher Education by John Dale Russell, director of the survey. The survey group recommended having specific academic require- ments for all available scholar- ships with no repayment or serv- ice required of the benefactor. In Each School Responsibility for the adminis- tration of state-wide provided loan funds should be lodged di- rectly in the individual institu- tions (if any such loans are es- tablished) the study also recom- mended. Several considerations led to the study committee's conclusion not to recommend state appropri- ated scholarships. At present there are a relative- ly large number of scholarships financed by the tax-supported schools in Michigan compared with other states. The survey not- ed that it must be recognized that this higher utilization of scholar- ships and loan funds in Michigan may reflect a greater need on the part of students in the state. Need Larger Grants In this case, state appropria- tions much larger than the amounts which have been pro- posed would be necessary to make any substantial improvement in the number of available scholar- ships. Because the state legislature is now having trouble appropriating money for the operations and building program of the schools, the study committee believed it would be "unfortunate" to sub- Action Asked BySenators WASHINGTON (QP)-Two senior senators told Congress it has a duty to act this year against cor- ruption and other unsavory condi- tions in some labor unions. Failure to legislate, declared Sen. William F. Knowland of Cali- fornia, the Senate's Republican leader, will stand as a permanent indictment of the record of the 85th Congress. Sen. Knowland said the Senate Rackets Investigating Committee has produced uncontested evidence of widespread corruption, arro- gance and abuses in the operations of internal union affairs. The chairman of that commit- tee, Sen. John L. McClellan (D- Ark.), added his voice to the plea for action. He said Congress would have to enter a controversial field. Prof. Haugh Awarded Grant A Smith-Mundt grant to serve as visiting professor in American and English literature at the Uni- versities of Capetown and Wit- watersrand, South Africa during 1958-1959 has been given to Prof. Robert F. Haugh of the English department. His selection to the grant was announced recently by the United States State Department. tract any more from appropria- tions in order to provide scholar- ships. One of the difficulties noted in setting up, state appropriated scholarships was the possibility that the new source of funds would replace rather than in- crease the number of scholarships. Scholarship funds are often in- creased by the unexpended money of appropriations by the legisla- ture for the operations and build- ing of the universities and col.- leges. If the state makes separate provision for scholarships, the schools may find other uses for the unexpended appropriation. A present a proposal is before the United States Congress re- questing federal grants for schol- arships for college students. The study group recommended no state action in this area until a definite decision on the matter is reached by Congress. A federal deemed more scholarship was justifiable because students could then cross state lines to attend the school of their choice. Should Consider Need Analyzing the basis for making scholarship awards, the study found that a limited number of funds are being awarded on the basis of the donor's stipulation without regard to financial need or academic standing. For this reason the survey group recom- mended that specific scholarships should consider both the student's need and academic record., It also recommended that the specific limitation of awards to those of certain ability, such as music, should be kept to a mini- mum. Distribution of a w a r d s should be done by responsible in- stitutional officials rather than just the donor's choice. In studying the loan funds at various schools, the group noted that the short-term loan has be- come an important part of the fi- nancial assistance program to stu- dents. It was believed that more extensive use of the long-term loans, i.e., over a period of years, should be investigated by the schools. Seen Necessary This was found necessary in view of present economic trends which are making it difficult for students to pay off their loans at the due date. The group suggested that the administration of thees loans be left in the hands of the schools due to the fine record of the ad- ministrators ' established in the past. The committee investigated three areas of student financial assistancf: scholarships and fel- o m Russell Calls State Grants Impractica lowships; student loans; and stu- dent employment. Several institutions reportec poor records or no record of stu- dent employment. On the basis of this proportionately smaller data, the study recommended tha student personnel records in al nistitutions include information regarding all employment ex. periences during the college years Consideration Given Considerations in this stud! were given only to student aid ad, ministered by the institutions an( not by non-institutional agencies Data was gathered from 55 in. stitutions of higher education h the state. The total amount of al forms of financial assistance b the state was $8,445,779. 45,42; students were served by this as sistance. Approximately $80 of fi nancial aid was given per studen in these institutions. I NATIum wmiisters Se iplomacy KI Little Rock Stories Win Top Awards NEW YORK (JP)-Coverage of the explosive integration crisis at Little Rock's Central High School won three separate 1958 Pulitzer Prizes in journalism yesterday. They went to the Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette for meritorious, public service; the newspaper's executive editor, Harry S. Ash- more, for editorial writing; and Associated Press correspondent Relman Pat Morin for his eye- witness account of mob violence outside the school Sept. 23. Gets Service Award In the case of the Arkansas Ga- zette, it marked the first time a newspaper captured the public service award while one of its editors was winning the editorial prize for the same news event. Separate citations lauded the newspaper and its editor for ob- jectivity in the face of mounting public tension. The 1958 fiction award went to James Agee's novel, "A Death in the Family." It deals with a South- ern family's reaction to the death of a beloved father. It was com- pleted by Agee before his death in 1955. Give Drama Prize The annual drama award went to "Look Homeward, Angel," Ket- ti Frings' adaptation of the late Thomas Wolfe's autobiographical novel of the same name. It has been a Broadway hit since its opening last Nov. 28. It was the 41st annual award of prizes established by the late pub- lisher, Joseph Pulitzer. They are made annually by the trustees of Columbia University on recom- mendation of the Advisory Board on the Pulitzer Prizes. BRADLEY, RADFORD: Former Chiefs Boost Ike Defense Program WASHINGTON (P)-Two former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff endorsed President Dwight D. Eisenhower's defense reorgani- zation plan. Gen. Omar Bradley, the famed World War II commander, said President Eisenhower's proposals would help reduce confusion and lower secrecy barriers between the armed forces. Retired Admiral Arthur W. Radford, who also testified before the House Armed Services Committee,,said he was in full accord. Radford, who retired as the Joint Chiefs' chairman last year, said yesterday in a prepared statement: "Our basic, national security structure must permit us to take timely advantage of important developments. Our armed services must continue to be the best in the world. Second best is not good enough in this, business." Radford said changes in the nation's defense setup are neces- sary to convert a basically peace- time structure into one which will be effective under wartime condi- tions. "And when I say wartime con- ditions," he said, "I mean our situ- ation today-a cold war which could become hot in a matter of hours or even minutes."! Bradley, a retired five-star gen- eral, testified new concepts of war- fare have outmoded the system of transmitting commands through an executive agent-that is, the army, navy or air force secretary. While the use of an executive agent may have been proper in the past, said Bradley, who was the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs, any future emergency will require a more rapid and direct means of transmission of decisions. The committee, headed by Rep. Carl Vinson (D-Ga.), is beginning its third week of hearings on the administration bill. Many mem- bers, including Vinson, apparently are convinced it goes farther than necessary. a ADC Sets Dorm Plan Of Marldey By RUTH BERSl A student-created working plan for government of Mary Markley Hall was unanimously approved by Assembly Dormitory Council yes- terday. The plan providing for a pro- visionary house government sys- tem will be effective for one year, according to Marge Brake, '58A&D,, head of the Markley Hall Planning Committee. Next year Markley' residents will develop their own permanent constitution. The committee, composed of Assembly members, established governing bodies for the seven individual houses of Markley and for the Hall as a single unit. Council To Co-ordinate i The activities of the entire dormitory will be co-ordinated by the Markley Hall Council com- posed of the house presidents, one elected representative from each house, and four executive officers. The working plan provides for the immediate selection of pro- tempore house officers. These offi- cers will hold their positions until elections are held. Officers from Thronson, Blagdon, and Fisher Houses have been selected by the nucleus groups from Frederick, Prescott and Tyler Houses respec- tively, which will move into Mark- ley next year. There will be an organizational meeting of these nucleus groups at 7:15 p.m. today in the Student Activities Bldg . Room drawings will take place at this time. Others To Meet At 7:15 p.m. tomorrow future residents of other Markley Houses will have a similar meeting. Pro- tempore officers from these houses will be selected by an informal petitioning and interviewing sys- tem. An Executive Council will be established by Assembly to act for the dormitory as a whole before Of Possible Soviet Traps Lloyd Says Russians Losing Enthusiasm For Summit Meeting COPENHAGEN W)-NATO for- eign ministers organized their own diplomaticoffensive yesterday for a summit conference. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles cautioned against falling into Russian-laid traps on the road. The ministers of the 15 North Atlantic Treaty nations heard British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd expound the view that the Russians are losing their enthusi- asm for a top-level meeting. Ruses Failing Lloyd suggested the world pub- lie was beginning to see through Kremlin diplomatic ruses. In a confident mood, the NATO ministers made it clear they in- tend to keep the Russians on the defensive by working hard for summit talks-the kind that would have a real meaning. Underlining this, West Ger- many's Foreign Minister Heinrich Von Brentano said his government would insist that any summit con- ference discuss German reunifica- tion-the most elusive topic in world diplomacy. Sessions Closed Informants gave this picture of the ministers' deliberations during two closed sessions on this open- ing day. Dulles told his Atlantic alliance colleagues that on the stony road to the summit they must :avoid giving any political advantage to the Russians which would more than offset anything the Western- ers were likely, to gain. 'Dangerous Precedent' Dulles said Soviet attempts to gain East-West parity in summit preparations involved a dangerous precedent. His idea was this meant the Russians would try to break down the old four-power basis of nego- tiations and insist instead that as many Communists as Westerners sit at the table. Parity would set a precedent for a long time after the summit meet- ing, Dulles said.
