Ex-Student Killed in Jet Crash Government '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.

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.

World News Runu By The Associated Press LIMA-Vice-President Richard M. Nixon was given the coldest reception of his South American tour as he began a visit to Peru yesterday. He received an ovation when he stepped from his special plane after a fiight from La Paz, Bolivia. But on the way into the city Peruvians in a working class section whistled at him-the equivalent of jeering. * * * * UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.--Eight independent African nations set up a new group in the United Nations yesterday. It is an outgrowth He planned to return to the University next fall after complet- ing his tour of active duty at Wayne Major. He was taking a course to ac- custom him to jet fighters while 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 mission," Major Johnston ex- plained. "We can't remember a single fatal accident here since World War IL." The plane, an RF-84F, de- scribed by the Air Guard as a single-place, high performance, photo-reconnaisance jet, crashed 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- sity to get his degree, Porter said. His home is in Nutley, N.J. Flemmig Appointed Agency Head WASHINGTON ()-Marion B. Folsom put an Aug. 1 deadline on his departure as secretary of health, educationand welfare and President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced the choice of Arthur S. Flemming to succeed him. Flemming, 53, has spent virtu- ally all his adult life as an edu- cator and government official. He is now president of Ohio Wesleyan 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. out the evaluation booklet by SGC 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 1920's in general rather than a specific book. David Kessel, Grad., withdrew his motion concerning use of driving regulations revenue for 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. PLAN APPROVED: Council To Publish Course Evaluations By THOMAS TURNER Student Government Council established a committee last night to assemble student course evaluations and publish it in booklet form. The committee is to consist of the SGC treasurer, Mort Wise, '60, Public Relations Chairman Ron Bassey, '61, a representative of the four groups of living units, and two general editors. The editors will be Ron Gregg, '60, whose Education and Student Welfare Committee drew up the proposal,and Michael Kraft, '59, acting Daily Editorial Director. Debate on the proposed booklet was limited to the method of putting, AEC Denies Blast Begins '58 Series Porter Urges Test Halt or Atonic Arms Race May Intensify WASHINGTON (W)- The 1958 nuclear tests at Eniwetok in the Pacific are under way. The Atomic Energy Commission yesterday tersely confirmed that an explosion was set off on April 28. This word from the AEC caine after the test was revealed by Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) in a House speech. He returned Tuesday from the scene. The AEC would not- confirm Porter's statement that the ex- plosion was the first of 30 nuclear test explosions scheduled. Rep. Porter revealed the blast in a speech renewing his demand for an end to nuclear testing. He said he did not witness the test but his speech had been clear- ed by the AEC. Rep. Porter said he was not at liberty to disclose the nature of the April 28 ex- periment. Rep. Porter urged that all such tests be halted or, he said, they will intensify the atomic arms race. He said unauthorized or ac- cidental explosions are inevitable, A radiation danger area of ap- proximately 400,000 square miles in. the Eniwetok and Bikini area has been closed to shipping since mid-April as a prelude to the 1958 nuclear tests. The AEC and the Defense De- partment announced originally that the tests will be aimed at advancing development of weap- ons'for defense agaist airborne and missile attalk. Another purpose, they said, Is to further the development of nu- clear weapons with reduced fall- out.

The nations are Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia and the United Arab Republic. A spokesman said the conference was not convened to form an African bloc but rather to show' Africa's readiness to cooperate with the rest of the world. * * WASHINGTON - The boss of the Pentagon's space research came out yesterday against Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower's pro- posal for a new civilian space agency - although he said his stand may cost him his job. Roy W..Johnson, director of the Advanced Research Projects Agen- cy since April 1, spoke up before the special Senate Space Com-, mittee. Committee members, both Democrats and Republicans, fired away at the Eisenhower bill, too. * * * CAPE CANAVERAL - The Air Force launched a Northrop Snark guided missile on what possibly was another 5,000-mile cruise over the south Atlantic test range yes- terday.
