'Stands, Pat'
On Trade
WASHINGTON () - The sad-
ministration stood pat yesterday
on its proposal to extend the re-
ciprocal trade agreements pro-
gram despite warnings that if
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
does not compromise he may get
no extension at all.
However, the door still seemed
open for working out disagree-
ments that have stymied the
President's proposal in Congress.
The House Ways and Means
Committee, which abruptly halt-
ed hearings Tuesday, has given
President Eisenhower until Mon-
day to come up with a solution.
No Agreement
"We didn't come to any agree-
ment on anything," Secretary of
Commerce Sinclair Weeks told
reporters after an hour-long
meeting in the office of House
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.)
"We're right where we were
when we started," Weeks said.
"We sent up a bill we believe in.
I told them we sent up a bill on
which the administration spent a
lot of time, and we still want the
bill."
Favors Original
Republican House leader Joseph
Martin (R-Mass.), who attended
the session, gave newsmen a
slightly more conciliatory report.
"The administration is standing
on its original bill," he said, "but
it doesn't look like we can.get the
bill through. There might be a
compromise, but we don't know."
The Ways and Means Commit-
tee will resume consideration of
the bill Monday after giving Pres-
ident Eisenhower a chance to
come up with his own comprom-
ise.
Rayburn told reporters earlier
he had advised President Eisen-
hower 10 days ago there had to be
some concessions.
Rayburn said he didn't mean
"the gutting kind" of changes,
such as the erection of quota bar-
riers against the importation of
foreign goods.

COPENHAGEN (M)-The'North Atlantic Alliance launched a peace
offensive of its own yesterday by telling the Soviet Union: Let us try
everything possible--not just summit talks-to eliminate war.
Rising above the Kremlin's roadblocks, the 15 NATO foreign
ministers invited the Soviets anew to join them in working out the
complex machinery for safe, controlled disarmament.
To Include NATO

further by agreeing to take some of their smaller NATO partners to

He was taking a course to ac-

he was at Wayne, Maj. Johnston
said. The course normally lasts 45
days and Lieut. Tuttle had 15
days to complete.
"It was just a routine training

The plane, an RF-84F, de-
scribed by the Air Guard as a

into a newly plowed field at 3136
Eureaka Rd. at about 3:25 p.m.
The plane broke into two large
parts as it struck and smaller
pieces of metal and canopy were
scattered for yards, around the
main wreckage.
Lieut. Tuttle had about 25
hours to complete at the Univer-

President Dwight D. Eisenhower
announced the choice of Arthur S.

Flemming, 53, has spent virtu-

University.
The shift had been anticipated.
Only Tuesday, White House press
secretary James C. Hagerty said
Folsom had renewed a request
that he be excused from further
service as secretary.
Folsom, who is 64, said in his
letter of resignation that he is
leaving for personal reasons which
he did not specify. He is now in
Florida recuperating from a case
of flu.
Heualso told President Eisen-
hower he regarded it as an honor
to have been associated with .the
administration. Folsom, former
treasurer of the Eastman Kodak
Co., was undersecretary of the
Treasury Department before be-
coming secretary of welfare in
1955.
Senate Ups
Service Pay
WASHINGTON (M-A military
pay raise bill designed to make a
career in the armed services more
attractive was agreed on yesterday
by a Senate-House" - Conference
Committee.
The first year cost of the pay
boosts, ranging from 6 per cent
to as high as 60 per cent, was
placed at $576,400,000. Virtually
all military personnel with two
years or more of service would
benefit.
Thefinal draft of the legislation
-passed by the Senate and the
House in different forms-is in line
with President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's recommendations for pay
raises to keep and attract trained
manpower in the armed forces.
Accept New Scales
The conferees accepted the new
pay scales provided in the Senate
bill. These generally were less gen-
erous than those in the House
bill, which would have cost 683
million dollars the first year.
The only major change in the
Senate bill would permit an in-
crease in retirement benefits- for
three and four-star generals al-
ready in retirement. The cost of
this was estimated at $400,000.
Returns To House
The measure now goes back to
the House and then to the Senate
for final action. If passed and then
signed by President Eisenhower
this month, the new pay scales
would go into effect June 1.
Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.),
floor manager of the bill in the
Senate, told reporters he regarded
the final version as a strong bill.
He said it's up to the armed serv-
ices to make it work and do the
job.
The legislation also provides re-
sponsibility pay for certain key
officers in grades from captain to
colonel ranging from $50 to $150
a month.

President Maynard Goldman, '59.
Goldman ruled discussion of
whether the council approved of
the plan in principle would be
out of order. In accepting Gregg's
committee report several meetings
ago they had elimitaded the possi-
bility of further debate except on
the mechanics of the evaluation,
Goldman said.
An appeal to Goldman's ruling
by Inter-House Council President
Robert Ashton, '59, was voted
down.
Finances Questioned
Newly appointed Union Presi-
dent Barry Shapiro, '59, called
Gregg's revenue figures "complete-
ly out of line." He questioned both
the anticipated circulation of 3,000
booklets at 50 cents each and the
anticipated advertising revenue of
$500.
The vote to accept Gregg's report
was eight to eight, Goldman vot-
ing yes to break the tie.
The motion to establish the
committee was then passed.
At the beginning of the meeting,
SGC heard a prospectus for the
coming year presented by Gold-
man. He stressed SGC's obligation
to academics, proposing specifi-
cally investigation of "educational.
philosophy" at the University.
Reading Plan Altered
Roger Seasonwein, '61, member
of the Reading and- Discussions
Committee reported the group has
decided to have participating stu-
dents and faculty read on the

specific book.

construction of a parking struc-
ture.
Award Won
By. Slawson
The John W. Reed Anthem
Award was presented yesterday to
Albert Wayne Slawson, Grad., for
composition of an anthem based
on the text of a prayer of St.
Francis of Asissi.
The $50 prize was created this
year by members of the First Bap-
tist Church in Ann Arbor in co-
operation with the School of Mu-
sic and in honor of Prof. John
Reed of the law school. The com-
position will be sung a capella in
the church on Sun., May 18.,
Set up to encourage the com-
posing of contemporary church
music and to draw the attention
of the chorus to it, the prize will
be given annually to an anthem
written by a student in any col-
lege of the University.
Prof. Reed has been choir di-
rector of the First Baptist Church
for the past eight years. He is
chairman of the Board in Control
of Student Publications.
Permissionl
Trial Plans
Get Approval
By RUTH BERS
A test plan for determining
which weekday events merit a
45-minute extension of women's
closing hours was unanimously
approved by the League Senate
yesterday.
The group also approved on a
trial basis a proposal for extending
women's closing hours until mid-
night during examination periods.
Events now granted 45-minute
extensions are called University
sponsored events. Sarah Drasin,
'59, President'* of Women's Judi
ciary Council, explained that the
past system for determining which
events merited special hours was
unsatisfactory because the phrase
"University sponsored" was arbi-
trarily defined.
Extension Events
Traditional events automatically
granted extensions are 'Chamber
Music Festival and Stanley Quar-
tet concerts, Choral Union and
Extra Concert Series, Oratorical
Society lectures, May Festival
Concerts, Drama Series, and
speech department plays, Junior
Girls' Play, Soph Show, MUSKET
and Varsity Athletic events.
All organizations wishing to
sponsoran extended event next
semester must submit a petition
to Women's Judic in September.
A member from the organization
will then be interviewed by Wom-
en's Judic.
List Criteria
Extensions will be granted on
the basis of three criteria. The
event must hold interest for a
wide cross section of women. It
must start at least by 8 p.m. and
be sponsored by an official depart-
ment of the University or by an
organization registered with the
University.
Organizations must petition for
an extension at the beginning of
the semester for which the event
is planned. Women's Judic retains
the right to grant or rescind ex-
tensions on a semester basis, Miss
Drasin said.
Send Out Lists
At the start of each semester a
list of events granted extensions
will be sent to house directors,
entered in the University Calen-
dar, and printed in. the Daily
Official Bulletin.
The proposal for midnight clos-
ing time during examination per-
iods was made because Judic
found that women used to save
their automatic late permissions
for examination time, Miss Drasin
said.
She said the extension will be
made in view of the extra study
time required by exams.
